Lin Yun ultimately decided to join the expedition to the Sunset Mountains to search for the mysterious ruins. Selected by the family elders, a team of elite young members of the Lin family was quickly assembled, naturally including Lin Yun.

Before departing, Lin Yun returned to his residence to properly place the still-recovering Seven-Colored Spirit Bird, and instructed Lin Wan'er to help look after it. Although Lin Wan'er was somewhat concerned about her brother's safety on this long journey, she also understood that this was a crucial opportunity for Lin Yun on his path to immortality, and could only nod in agreement.

After everything was ready, the team set out on their journey to the Sunset Mountains. Along the way, everyone shared their experiences in cultivation and vigilantly observed their surroundings. The atmosphere was tense yet filled with anticipation for the unknown ruins.

After several days of trekking, they finally reached the edge of the Sunset Mountains. From afar, the rolling hills of the Sunset Mountains, bathed in the setting sun, seemed to be coated in a golden-red glow, appearing mysterious and magnificent. But everyone knew that beneath this beautiful exterior lay endless dangers.

After entering the mountains, Lin Yun clearly felt that the surrounding spiritual energy became chaotic, and from time to time he could hear the roars of monsters coming from afar, which made people feel chilled.

The team members gathered closer together and carefully moved towards the direction of the ruins along the route they had explored in advance.

"Everyone, be careful. This place is very dangerous. Don't take it lightly." The team leader, a family member named Lin Xiao, reminded in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded, mobilized their spiritual power, and prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.

However, the deeper they went, the more trouble they encountered. First, they were attacked by a group of low-level monsters. Although these monsters were not strong individually, they were numerous and fearless, which put the team in a difficult battle.

Lin Yun, sword in hand, moved like lightning as he moved freely among the monsters. He employed the various sword techniques he had learned in his family, each strike imbued with spiritual power, as he slew the monsters one by one with precision.

The other team members were not to be outdone. They used their own abilities, casting spells or attacking with magic weapons, engaging in a fierce battle with the monsters.

After a hard fight, the team finally repelled the group of monsters, but several team members suffered minor injuries.

"Everyone, take a break first, recover your spiritual power, and treat your wounds." Lin Xiao said.

Everyone found a relatively safe place to stop, took pills, and circulated their spiritual power to heal their wounds.

After resting, they continued on their way. Soon, they saw an ancient building looming ahead. That must be the mysterious ruins they were looking for.

Everyone was delighted and quickened their pace. However, when they approached the ruins, they found that there was a layer of light mist around them. This mist had a strange aura that made people feel a little creepy.

"This fog is a bit strange, everyone be careful." Lin Yun reminded with a frown.

Just as everyone was about to enter the fog to explore the ruins, suddenly, several black shadows rushed out from the fog at an extremely fast speed and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

When they saw the shadows clearly, everyone gasped. They were ghostly beasts emitting a sinister aura. Their forms were ethereal, their eyes gleaming with a dark green light, their maws gaping, and they let out chilling roars.

"This... this is a ghost beast. It is said that they can penetrate the spiritual shield and directly attack people's souls. They are not easy to deal with!" said a team member in horror.

Lin Yun's heart also tightened, but he quickly calmed down, staring at the ghost beast in front of him, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

He remembered that he had read about ghost beasts in an ancient book. It seemed that there was a special spell that could temporarily interfere with their actions.

At this moment, Lin Yun no longer hesitated. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A strange light emanated from his hands and enveloped the ghost beast.

Seeing Lin Yun taking action, the other team members also came to their senses and each used their own methods to engage in a thrilling battle between souls with the ghost beast.

In this fierce confrontation, Lin Yun successfully gained some advantages for the team with his calm mind and the special spells he learned from ancient books.

But the ghost beasts are also extremely difficult to deal with. They constantly attack, trying to break through everyone's defenses and devour their souls.

The team members gritted their teeth and worked together to hold out against the ghost beast.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Lin Yun suddenly spotted a gap in the ghost beast's attack. He seized the opportunity, concentrated all his spiritual power on his sword, and then fiercely stabbed at the gap.

"Ah!" A ghost beast was stabbed by Lin Yun and let out a shrill scream. Its body suddenly became illusory and then slowly dissipated.

With this breakthrough, the morale of the team members was boosted. They increased their attack intensity and killed several ghost beasts in succession.

Finally, the remaining ghost beasts saw that the situation was not good, let out a few unwilling roars, and then disappeared into the fog.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. After this difficult battle, they had a new understanding of the danger of this mysterious relic.

But they did not back down because they came here to explore opportunities in the ruins.

Lin Yun gazed at the still misty ruins before him, his eyes filled with determination. He knew that more challenges awaited them, but he was confident that with his own strength and wisdom, and that of his team members, they would gain something from the Sunset Ruins, further enhance their own abilities, and continue to move forward towards their goal of solving the mystery of rebirth.

But just as they were about to step into the fog again and explore the ruins, something unexpected happened. One of the team members suddenly exclaimed, "Look everyone, the fog seems to be changing. It's getting thicker and weirder!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, the originally light mist was now becoming thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was constantly rolling and surging with life. Wisps of mist were like ghost tentacles, stretching wantonly in the air, and it seemed that even the light was swallowed up wherever it passed.

"What is going on? Could it be that this relic has some kind of defense mechanism?" Lin Xiao frowned, his face solemn.

Lin Yun also looked alert. He had a vague feeling of unease in his heart, thinking that this trip to the ruins might be more complicated and dangerous than they had expected.

Just when everyone was in doubt, an eerie whisper came from the thick fog. The voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, so cold and piercing that it made people's scalps numb, but they couldn't hear what the voice was saying.

"Everyone, be careful, don't let this sound affect your mind!" Lin Yun reminded loudly, while secretly mobilizing his spiritual power to protect his mind.

The other team members followed suit, each using their own methods to resist the invasion of the strange sound.

However, as the fog grew thicker, the voice became clearer and clearer, as if telling an ancient and mysterious curse.

Suddenly, one of the team members' eyes became dull, he muttered to himself, and walked uncontrollably towards the depths of the fog.

"Stop him!" Lin Xiao shouted and hurriedly reached out to pull the team member, but the team member seemed to be possessed and had extraordinary strength. He broke free from Lin Xiao's pull and continued to walk into the fog.

"Oh no! This fog can confuse people. Everyone must keep their composure!" Lin Yun said anxiously. He knew very well that once the team members were completely controlled by the fog, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, Lin Yun made a prompt decision and took out a few glowing spirit crystals from his storage ring. These spirit crystals were obtained by chance by him before and had a certain effect of calming the mind.

He distributed the spirit crystals to the other team members and said, "Everyone, take this and inject your spiritual power into it. Perhaps it will help you resist the bewitchment of this fog."

The team members took the spirit crystals and did as they were told. After injecting their spiritual power, they indeed felt that the influence of the strange voice on their minds had weakened a lot.

But at this moment, several ghost beasts rushed out of the fog. They took advantage of the distraction and pounced on them. A new crisis was placed before everyone. They had no choice but to muster up their courage again, relying on their tenacious will and superb skills to deal with the challenges that followed one after another, and continue to move deeper into the ruins, looking for unknown opportunities and clues that may be hidden therein to solve the mystery of rebirth.
