Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

Fairy Yuehua smiled and shook her head, her voice soft but firm: "Everyone, please don't be polite. This is what I should do. Now, let's go back to the sect and tell Master and fellow disciples this news!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ling Xian Xia and the others nodded, their joy in their hearts inexpressible. They knew that this time, not only had they successfully eliminated the black-robed man, but they had also found their long-lost junior sister. This was undoubtedly great news for the Five Immortals Pavilion.

The group set out on their journey back to Wuxian Pavilion. The scenery along the way became particularly beautiful in their eyes. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers. They chatted with each other, sharing every detail of their adventure, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

However, what they didn't know was that the moment the black-robed man disappeared, a larger conspiracy had quietly unfolded. The mastermind behind the scenes was hiding in the shadows, coldly watching their every move, ready to strike a fatal blow at the right moment.

……

Inside the Five Immortals Pavilion, there was a great deal of jubilation. Disciples streamed out to greet the return of Jin Ling Xian Xia and the others. When they saw Fairy Yue Hua standing before them, safe and sound, they all cheered with joy, as if the entire Five Immortals Pavilion were immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Pavilion Master Yunyou rushed over upon hearing the news. He looked at Fairy Yuehua with a deep gaze, his eyes filled with relief and concern. He asked softly, "Yuehua, are you okay? Where have you been recently? Have you encountered any danger?"

Fairy Yuehua shook her head slightly, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. "Master, I'm fine. It's just... I encountered a man in a black robe. He was very powerful, and I almost fell into his hands. Fortunately, Senior Brother Jin Ling and the others arrived in time and saved my life."

Upon hearing this, Yunyou Zhenren frowned, "Black-robed man? What on earth is going on?"

Jin Ling Xian Xia and the others stepped forward and recounted the events in detail. They described how they discovered the traces of the black-robed man, how they tracked him all the way to the mysterious place, and how they fought a fierce battle with him and finally eliminated him.

After hearing this, Yunyou Zhenren was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems that the peaceful days of our Five Immortals Pavilion are gone forever. This black-robed man must be hiding a greater conspiracy. We must remain vigilant at all times to prevent the enemy from attacking again."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. They knew that as disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting their master. No matter what difficulties and challenges they faced in the future, they would bravely move forward and never retreat.

However, just as everyone was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and vigilance, the arrival of an uninvited guest broke the peace.

A mysterious figure in a black robe slowly walked into the gate of the Five Immortals Pavilion, his gaze icy as he scanned the crowd. His presence sent a chill down everyone's spine, as if the entire space were enveloped by his gloomy aura.

Yunyou Zhenren stared at the mysterious man sharply and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing in my Five Immortals Pavilion?"

The mysterious man smiled slightly, his voice hoarse and low: "I am the black-robed messenger, and I have come to deliver a message on the orders of my master."

"What news?" asked Yunyou Zhenren.

The black-robed envoy slowly spoke, "One of your Five Immortals Pavilion's disciples is a traitor. He or she has reached an agreement with our master to help us seize the Five Immortals Pavilion's greatest treasure—the Five Spirit Pearls."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Five Immortals Pavilion erupted in an uproar. The disciples began to whisper and discuss. They stared at each other in disbelief, trying to find the answer in each other's eyes.

Yunyou Zhenren's face turned ashen. He glared at the black-robed envoy, "Don't talk nonsense! The disciples of my Five Immortals Pavilion are all loyal. How could there be any betrayers?"

The black-robed envoy sneered, "Believe it or not. But I must remind you that the traitor has already infiltrated your ranks and is ready to strike at any moment. If you don't want the Five Spirit Orbs to fall into our hands, quickly find the traitor."

After saying this, the black-robed envoy turned and tried to leave. But at this moment, Jin Ling Xianxia and others had quickly surrounded him. They knew that this black-robed envoy was definitely not a good person, and they had to capture him to get the truth.

However, the black-robed messenger seemed unconcerned by their siege. He smiled faintly, and his figure suddenly became ethereal. Like a puff of black smoke, he instantly vanished from everyone's sight without a trace.

Yunyou Zhenren looked in the direction where the black-robed messenger had disappeared, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He knew that the appearance of this black-robed messenger was no accident. The master behind him must have a greater plan.

……

The atmosphere within the Five Immortals Pavilion grew extremely tense. The disciples stepped up their guard, constantly on the lookout for incoming enemy attacks. Meanwhile, Master Yunyou summoned all the elders and core disciples to discuss countermeasures.

"We must find the traitor as soon as possible." Yunyou Zhenren's voice was low and firm. "Otherwise, if the Five Spirit Orbs fall into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The elders nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They knew that the Five Spirit Pearls were the most precious treasure of the Five Immortals Pavilion, not only containing immense power but also crucial to the safety of the entire sect.

"But how do we find the traitor?" asked an elder.

Yunyou Zhenren pondered for a moment, then said, "We can deduce several clues from the black-robed envoy's words. First, the traitor must be a disciple of our Five Immortals Pavilion; second, he (she) has reached an agreement with the black-robed man's master; and finally, his (her) goal is to seize the Five Spirit Pearls."

"Based on these clues, we can investigate one by one," Yunyou Zhenren continued. "First, we need to determine which disciples may have come into contact with the Five Spirit Pearls. Second, we need to observe their words and actions to see if there are any abnormalities. Finally, we can also use some special methods to test them."

Upon hearing this, the elders all expressed their agreement. They knew that this was a difficult and long process, but they had to persevere until the traitor was found.

Thus, a vigorous investigation quietly began within the Five Immortals Pavilion. Disciples monitored and tested each other, and the entire sect seemed to be plunged into chaos. However, despite their tremendous efforts, they still could not find any trace of the traitor.

……

As time passed, the atmosphere within the Five Immortals Pavilion grew increasingly tense. The disciples were all worried, fearing they might become the suspected traitor. Meanwhile, Yunyou Zhenren, with a furrowed brow, pondered a response.

At this moment, an unexpected piece of news broke the silence. A disciple hurried over to report, "Pavilion Master! This is bad! We've found traces of the black-robed man!"

Upon hearing this, Yunyou Zhenren's spirits perked up. He quickly summoned Jinling Xianxia and others, and led a group of disciples to the location where the black-robed man appeared.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw a man in a black robe standing on a mountain peak, staring at them coldly. He was tall and straight, his black robe rustling in the wind like a wild horse about to break free.

"You're finally here." The black-robed man said in a hoarse and low voice, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Yunyou Zhenren glared at the black-robed man. "Who are you? Why do you repeatedly become an enemy of the Five Immortals Pavilion?"

The black-robed man smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your Five Immortals Pavilion's most precious treasure, the Five Spirit Pearls, will soon fall into our hands."

Upon hearing this, Yunyou Zhenren's face changed drastically. He knew that since the black-robed man dared to say so, he must have made thorough preparations.

At this moment, the black-robed figure suddenly waved his hand, and dark shadows appeared from all directions, quickly surrounding the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion. The shadows had strange shapes and moved at an extremely fast speed, darting through the crowd like streaks of black lightning.

"Oh no! These are the men of the man in black robe!" Jin Ling Xianxia shouted and quickly drew his sword to fight.

The other disciples also drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the shadowy figures. However, the shadowy figures were extremely powerful. Not only were they fast and powerful, they were also adept at using a variety of strange moves. For a time, the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion were caught in a difficult battle.

Seeing this, Yunyou Zhenren was extremely anxious. He knew that if the deadlock could not be broken quickly, the Five Spirit Orbs would very likely fall into the hands of the black-robed man.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Yunyou Zhenren's ears: "Master! Let me try!"

Upon hearing this, Yunyou Zhenren turned around and saw Fairy Yuehua standing behind him, a determined light gleaming in her eyes.

"Yuehua? You..." Master Yunyou hesitated.

Fairy Yuehua smiled slightly: "Master, I have recovered. I believe I can help."

Yunyou Zhenren looked at Fairy Yuehua's determined eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He nodded and said, "Okay! Then be careful."

After saying this, Fairy Yuehua flashed and rushed into the battlefield. She held a long sword that shone with silver-white light, and wherever the sword pointed, it was the vital points of those dark shadows.

The appearance of Fairy Yuehua seemed to inject new strength into the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion. They all rallied their spirits and engaged in an even more intense battle with the shadowy figures. Fairy Yuehua, with her exceptional swordsmanship and keen insight, charged left and right on the battlefield, slashing and slaying the shadowy figures.

Under the leadership of Fairy Yuehua, the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion gradually gained the upper hand. The shadows began to retreat step by step, and were eventually forced to retreat.

The black-robed man's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. But he quickly regained his composure, gazing coldly at Yunyou Zhenren and Yuehua Fairy: "Humph! Do you think you can defeat me like this? How naive!"

After saying this, the black-robed figure flashed and disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Yunyou Zhenren. He raised his hand and waved it, and a black light instantly attacked Yunyou Zhenren.

Seeing this, Yunyou Zhenren was horrified. He quickly mobilized his internal energy, trying to resist the black light. However, the light seemed to have infinite power, instantly destroying his internal energy.

Yunyou Zhenren felt a huge force coming from his chest, and he was thrown backwards involuntarily. He fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and was obviously seriously injured.

"Master!" Fairy Yuehua shouted and rushed forward. She helped Yunyou Zhenren up, her eyes filled with worry and anger.

"Yuehua...are you okay?"

Yunyou Zhenren raised his head with difficulty and looked at Yuehua Fairy. His voice was weak but full of concern. There was still blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still firm and bright.

"Master, I'm fine." Fairy Yuehua fought back her tears and tried to remain calm. She knew that now was not the time to be sad. They had to come up with a plan as soon as possible to deal with the threat posed by the man in black robes.

Jin Ling Xian Xia and the others also gathered around. They looked at the seriously injured Yun You Zhenren, their hearts filled with anger and powerlessness. They knew that the black-robed man was too powerful, and it would be difficult for them to compete with him with their own strength.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Jin Lingxianxia clenched his fists and spoke in a firm and powerful voice, "We must find the traitor and dismantle the black-robed man's conspiracy from within."

Fairy Yuehua nodded slightly upon hearing this. She knew that Immortal Jinling was right. Only by finding the traitor could they completely defeat the black-robed man and protect the peace of the Five Immortals Pavilion.

"But how do we find the traitor?" a disciple asked worriedly.

Fairy Yuehua pondered for a moment, then said, "We can look for clues in the black-robed man's words. He mentioned that the traitor had reached an agreement with them in order to seize the Five Spirit Pearls. So, we just need to identify those disciples who may have had access to the Five Spirit Pearls and have behaved strangely recently, and we might be able to find the traitor."

Upon hearing this, the disciples nodded in agreement. They felt this method was feasible, and immediately began to act. They monitored and tested each other, trying to find clues about the traitor through their actions.

However, as time passed, they still could not find any trace of the traitor. The atmosphere in the Five Immortals Pavilion became increasingly tense, and every disciple was worried that they would be the next target of suspicion.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, an unexpected discovery gave them hope. While cleaning the library of the Five Immortals Pavilion, a disciple stumbled upon a forgotten ancient book. This book contained an ancient secret technique that could detect the true thoughts of the human heart.

"This may be the key for us to find the traitor!" Fairy Yuehua looked at the ancient book with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

So, they decided to use the secret techniques in this ancient book to investigate the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion one by one. They knew that although this method was a bit risky, it would be worth it as long as they could find the traitor.

The investigation was incredibly difficult. Not only did they have to face the doubts and opposition of their fellow disciples, but they also had to be constantly vigilant against sneak attacks from the black-robed men. However, they remained convinced that their choice was the right one, and they had to persevere until they found the traitor.

Finally, after countless attempts and investigations, they tracked down the traitor. He was a disciple who had always excelled, possessing both a natural talent for cultivation and the high regard of Master Yunyou. However, this seemingly perfect disciple had become a lackey of the Black Robe Man, intent on seizing the Five Spirit Orbs.

"You...how could you be such a person?" When faced with the crowd's questioning, the betrayer revealed a look of fear and despair. He knew he had nowhere to escape and could only surrender obediently.

"I... I was forced into a corner," the betrayer said in a trembling voice. "The black-robed men captured my family and threatened to kill them if I didn't help them seize the Five Spirit Pearls."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yuehua felt a surge of anger and sympathy. She hated this traitor for betraying his master, but she also sympathized with him for being threatened and coerced by the black-robed man.

"No matter what your reasons are, you cannot betray your master!" Although Yunyou Zhenren was seriously injured, his voice was still firm and powerful. "You must pay the price for your actions!"

After saying this, Yunyou Zhenren signaled his disciples to take the traitor away and await their master's punishment. He then closed his eyes and began to silently heal his wounds.

After a period of recuperation and recovery, Yunyou Zhenren's injuries gradually improved. The Five Immortals Pavilion was also tempered and grew in this crisis. The disciples became more united and determined. They knew that only by working together could they protect the peace and glory of their master.

However, what they didn't know was that the black-robed man hadn't given up. He was still secretly plotting a more sinister and cunning scheme, aiming to seize the Five Spirit Pearls and control the entire world of immortal cultivation. The struggle between the Five Immortals Pavilion and the black-robed man had only just begun...
