I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

Chapter 64: Exploring the Stronghold and a New Crisis

After successfully repelling those evil monsters, Lin Yun and others did not have time to breathe. They knew that they were still trapped in the trap of the Shadow Cult stronghold and had to find an exit as soon as possible to continue completing the exploration mission.

Lin Yun looked around. This small space was tightly surrounded by the deep pit and the closed passage. The walls and the ground exuded a strong evil aura, making people feel extremely depressed.

"Let's look for it together. There must be a way to break this trap. Pay attention to whether there are any mechanisms or hidden passages." Lin Yun said, his eyes searching the walls and the ground carefully, not missing any suspicious places.

Su Yao cast another detection spell, rapidly forming hand seals and muttering to herself, slowly releasing spiritual energy, attempting to sense any anomalies in the surroundings. Li Feng tapped gently along the wall with his gauntlets, listening for hollow sounds to detect hidden doors or other mechanisms. Chen Yu, observing his surroundings, considered whether he could use fire spells to uncover any hidden clues, as the intense heat of flame might reveal them. Lin Wan'er remained concealed, relying on her keen senses to carefully search the darkness for any possible clues.

After a while, Su Yao suddenly opened her eyes, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes. "Lin Yun, I feel something is wrong with the wall here. The spiritual power fluctuation is very weak, but there seems to be a hidden space." She pointed to the wall on one side and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun immediately walked over, and the other team members also gathered around. Lin Yun reached out his hand and gently placed it on the wall, feeling it carefully. As expected, he could sense a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, slightly different from the surrounding evil aura.

"This should be it. Everyone, be careful and prepare to break it together," Lin Yun said. He then drew his sword and infused it with spiritual energy, causing it to instantly glow brightly. Li Feng also took up his stance, ready to deliver a powerful blow with his gauntlet if needed. Chen Yu swung his flaming gourd, chanting an incantation, ready to unleash a burst of flames at any moment. Su Yao continued to cast supporting spells, enhancing everyone's spiritual power and defense. Lin Wan'er lurked nearby, ready to provide support at a crucial moment.

Lin Yun shouted, thrusting his sword fiercely at the wall. At the same time, Li Feng delivered a powerful punch, and Chen Yu's flames also swept toward the wall. Under the combined attack of everyone, the wall trembled violently, then cracked with a clear sound, and a secret door slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Great, let's go!" Lin Yun said. He took the lead and walked into the secret door, followed closely by the team members.

Passing through the secret door, there was a narrower passage. The light inside the passage was still dim, but slightly brighter than before. The walls were still covered with various evil runes, but the arrangement of these runes seemed to have some kind of pattern, which made people feel puzzled.

Lin Yun and the others walked slowly along the passage, taking every step with extreme caution. Suddenly, several rooms appeared on one side of the passage. The doors of the rooms were half-open, and some light could be seen from inside.

"Let's go see what's in those rooms." Lin Yun whispered. He walked towards the nearest room. The other team members also approached different rooms, ready to find out what was inside.

Lin Yun gently pushed open the door, and a pungent smell hit him, causing him to frown. The room was filled with strange instruments. Some resembled giant glass bottles, filled with liquids that emitted an eerie glow; others were oddly shaped metal instruments, covered in rust, yet still possessing a perceptible malevolent power.

In the corner of the room, there were some tattered books piled up. Lin Yun walked over, picked up one and flipped through it. He saw some obscure words and patterns on it, which seemed to be related to the evil heritage of the Shadow Cult and some evil experiments.

"These things are definitely not simple. Take everything you can take away and go back to let the elders study them." Lin Yun said to the team members who came in later.

The other team members also made some discoveries in the rooms they were checking. Su Yao found some spirit beads that stored evil power. These spirit beads emitted a black light. Once touched, one could feel a chill spreading along the fingertips. Li Feng found some strange weapons. These weapons had strange shapes and evil runes engraved on the blades. They seemed to have special attack effects. Chen Yu saw some drawings of evil formations in a room. These formations were extremely complex. Once successfully arranged, they would surely unleash tremendous evil power. Lin Wan'er found a small box in a more secluded corner. The box was engraved with runes. When she opened it, she found a black crystal inside. There seemed to be wisps of black air flowing inside the crystal, emitting a strong evil aura.

Just as everyone was preparing to collect these discoveries and take them away, suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the entire stronghold. The sound echoed in the dim corridors and rooms, making people feel creepy.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Lin Yun's face changed. He knew that once the alarm sounded, it would inevitably attract a large number of Shadow Cult members. Their current position was extremely unfavorable, and they had to find a way to break out as soon as possible.

Almost immediately after the alarm sounded, a large number of Shadow Cult members poured out from both ends of the corridor and the doorways of each room. They wore black robes and hoods, wielding various evil weapons in their hands, their eyes revealing ferocity and anger.

"Hmph, you little bastards from the Immortal Sect, how dare you trespass into our stronghold? Today is the day you die!" said a member of the Shadow Cult viciously.

Lin Yun gripped his sword tightly, scanning the surrounding enemies as he quickly pondered a strategy. The team members gathered together, forming a tight defensive circle, ready to engage in a life-or-death battle with these Shadow Cult members.

"Don't panic, everyone. Let's rush out together!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. He tried to boost morale. Although they were facing tremendous pressure at the moment, he believed that with the team's tacit understanding and their respective strengths, they still had a chance to break through.

The Shadow Cult members didn't give them much time to think, and rushed towards Lin Yun and the others, brandishing their weapons. For a moment, the passage and the room were filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.

Lin Yun, swift as lightning, charged into the enemy horde. His sword swung, unleashing wisps of sharp energy as he slashed at the enemy with pinpoint precision. Each strike wounded or even felled a member of the Shadow Cult. Li Feng, using his gauntlet for protection, engaged in close combat within the enemy horde. His agility was unwavering, and every punch and kick dealt a devastating blow. Su Yao, on the side, cast supporting spells, boosting the defenses and restoring spiritual power for her teammates, ensuring they remained effective throughout the fierce battle. Chen Yu swung his flame gourd, chanting an incantation. Streams of blazing flame shot forth from the gourd's mouth, consuming the Shadow Cult members. Enemies roared in pain and dodged in their wake. Lin Wan'er, still concealed, weaved through the enemy horde, searching for their weak points to strike a fatal blow.

However, the number of Shadow Cult members was simply too great. They surged forward in wave after wave, seemingly endless. Although Lin Yun and the others fought hard, they gradually began to feel the strain, and their defenses began to weaken.

In this fierce battle, Lin Yun and his companions were trapped in a desperate situation. The enemy was numerous and launched a continuous and fierce attack. Their spiritual and physical strength were rapidly depleting, and their hope of breaking through seemed very slim.

But Lin Yun didn't give up. He scanned the enemy group quickly, trying to find a gap to break through. Suddenly, he found that there was a place where the Shadow Cult's encirclement seemed to be slightly weaker. The members' attack power there was relatively weak, and their coordination was not so tight.

"Everyone, follow me! Charge over there!" Lin Yun shouted. He seized the opportunity and rushed towards the weak point like lightning. The team members followed him, gritting their teeth and concentrating their efforts to break through in that direction.

During the breakout, Lin Yun swung his sword continuously, creating sharp sword energy and clearing a path for his teammates. Li Feng used gauntlets to block enemy attacks and protect his teammates behind him. Su Yao cast auxiliary spells on the side to enhance everyone's defense and restore spiritual power. Chen Yu shook the flame gourd and chanted a spell. Fiery flames shot out from the gourd mouth, burning towards the enemies on both sides and distracting them. Lin Wan'er remained hidden. She was in front to explore the way for her teammates and would issue a timely warning if she found an enemy ambush or other danger.

Just as they were about to break through that weak spot, a tall Shadow Cult master, shrouded in black mist, suddenly leaped out from a nearby room. He held a long sword emitting a black glow, and his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent.

"It's not easy to leave from here!" said the Shadow Cult master coldly, then he waved his long sword and rushed towards Lin Yun and others.

Lin Yun was startled. He knew that the appearance of this expert would be a huge obstacle to their breakout. But at this moment, they had no way out and could only face the challenge head-on.

"Everyone be careful, concentrate your strength to deal with him!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight a life-and-death duel with this master of the Shadow Cult.

Just as the two sides were about to collide, Lin Yun suddenly discovered that the black mist on the body of this Shadow Cult master seemed to have some kind of pattern, and the black light on the long sword would slightly weaken at certain moments.

"This may be his weakness. Everyone, pay attention and look for opportunities to attack!" Lin Yun hurriedly said to his teammates.

Upon hearing this, the team members focused their attention on the Shadow Cult master, ready to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him. This also gave them a glimmer of hope for a turnaround in their desperate situation.
