The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 91: Crisis in the Cultivation World

Ling Xue felt a little embarrassed by Yun Che's gaze. She lowered her head and said softly, "Yun Che, you don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."

Yun Che smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming with determination and gratitude. "Ling Xue, I deeply admire your courage and determination. Without you, we would have had a hard time getting through this crisis."

Ling Xue raised her head, her eyes meeting Yun Che's. She bit her lip lightly and said, "Yun Che, actually... I was afraid before. Facing that evil force, I once thought of retreating. However, every time I thought of the peace and tranquility of the cultivation world, and of our friends and family, I told myself that I couldn't retreat."

Yun Che felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing this. He reached out, gently grasped Ling Xue's hand, and said, "Ling Xue, you've done well. Your courage and perseverance are the key to our victory over the evil forces. I believe that in the days ahead, no matter what difficulties we face, we can overcome them together."

Ling Xue felt the warmth of Yun Che's palm, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart. She tilted her head slightly, avoiding Yun Che's gaze, and said, "Yun Che, let's... let's discuss our next plan first."

Yun Che withdrew his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, Lingxue, go ahead."

Ling Xue took a deep breath and said, "The evil forces this time are no small matter. They are not only powerful, but also cruel. We must be fully prepared before we can face them again."

Yun Che frowned slightly and said, "You're right. We must understand their strength and methods before we can formulate an effective response strategy. Ling Xue, do you have any ideas?"

Ling Xue thought for a moment and said, "I think we can send a small team to investigate their movements and strength. That way, we can know ourselves and the enemy, and fight a hundred battles without fear of defeat."

Yun Che's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "What a great idea! Ling Xue, you're truly incredibly smart. So, who are the members of this team?"

Ling Xue smiled slightly and said, "I think we can let Xiao Yifeng, Lin Wan'er, and me go. Xiao Yifeng is powerful, and Lin Wan'er is very smart. The three of us working together should be able to deal with any emergency."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che nodded and said, "Alright, let's proceed according to your plan. Ling Xue, you must proceed with caution and never underestimate the enemy."

Ling Xue nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Yun Che. We will definitely be cautious."

After saying this, Ling Xue turned and left, preparing to investigate the team's affairs. Yun Che looked at Ling Xue's back, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that he had been deeply attracted to this brave, intelligent, and kind girl.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cultivation world, an evil force is plotting a greater conspiracy. They intend to use an ancient forbidden technique to subvert the peace and tranquility of the cultivation world.

In a dark cave, the leader of the evil forces, a black-robed man, stood before a huge stone tablet. Carved with ancient runes, the tablet emitted an eerie glow.

The black-robed man stared at the stone tablet, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm. He muttered to himself, "As long as I can master this forbidden technique, no one in the world of cultivation will be able to stop me. When that happens, the entire world of cultivation will submit to me!"

After saying this, the black-robed figure began to chant an incantation, and the runes on the stone tablet began to flicker. As the incantation deepened, the light on the stone tablet became increasingly intense, and the entire cave was filled with a strange aura.

At this moment, a subordinate in a black robe hurried over and said, "Sir, this is bad! Those guys in the cultivation world have discovered our whereabouts and are organizing their forces to attack us!"

The black-robed man frowned upon hearing this and said, "What? They discovered our whereabouts so quickly? It seems they are quite capable."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate said in a panic, "Sir, what should we do? Should we retreat first and avoid the limelight?"

The black-robed man snorted coldly and said, "Retreat? That's impossible! I, the black-robed man, have never retreated from anything I do. Since those guys dare to come and die, I will grant their wish!"

After saying this, the black-robed man waved his sleeves, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He turned to his men and said, "Gather all your men immediately and prepare for battle! I want to show those guys that I, the black-robed man, am not to be trifled with!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate nodded in agreement and turned to leave. The man in black robe continued to stand in front of the stone tablet, waiting for the forbidden technique to be completed.

Meanwhile, Ling Xue, Xiao Yifeng, and Lin Wan'er had formed a reconnaissance team, heading towards the direction of the evil forces. They were cautious along the way, fearing to alert the enemy.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the edge of the evil force's territory. In front of them was a barren desert, and from time to time, they could hear strange noises.

Ling Xue looked at the desert ahead, frowned slightly, and said, "The aura here is very strange. We have to be careful."

Xiao Yifeng nodded and said, "Yes, something is indeed wrong here. We must remain vigilant at all times to deal with any possible dangers."

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen to you. I'm very smart!"

Ling Xue and Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. They knew that although Lin Wan'er was a bit mischievous at ordinary times, she could always come up with some wonderful ideas to help them solve problems at critical moments.

The three continued on their journey and soon arrived at the center of the desert. They saw a huge black castle in front of them, and a thick black fog hung over the castle, giving people a feeling of oppression and fear.

Ling Xue looked at the castle ahead, a look of solemnity in her eyes. She said, "It seems this is the lair of the evil forces. We must be careful and make sure they don't find us."

Xiao Yifeng nodded and said, "That's right, we have to find a chance to sneak in and see what they are up to."

Lin Wan'er said, "I have a great idea! We can use the desert sandstorm to cover our tracks and then sneak into the castle!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xue and Xiao Yifeng both agreed that Lin Wan'er's idea was a good one. So, they followed Lin Wan'er's plan, using the desert sandstorm to conceal their tracks and quietly sneaking into the castle.

The interior of the castle was eerie, filled with darkness and decay. The three of them moved forward cautiously, fearing to make any noise.

They arrived at a secret room, only to see two black-robed figures guarding the door. Ling Xue looked at them, her heart secretly on guard. She knew that these two black-robed men were quite powerful, and she had to be careful in dealing with them.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er suddenly said, "I have a way to make them temporarily unconscious!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xue and Xiao Yifeng both looked at Lin Wan'er. She pulled out a bottle of potion from her bosom and quietly threw it towards the two men in black robes.

With a soft "bang," the two black-robed men suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious. Seeing this, Ling Xue and Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They knew that Lin Wan'er's potion had truly been a huge help.

The three of them took the opportunity to enter the secret room, only to see some strange instruments and runes placed inside. Ling Xue looked at these instruments and runes, and a feeling of unease welled up in her heart. She said, "These instruments and runes look dangerous. We must be careful."

Xiao Yifeng nodded and said, "Yes, these instruments and runes are definitely related to the conspiracy of evil forces. We have to take a closer look to see if we can find any clues."

So, the three of them began to carefully examine the instruments and runes in the secret room. After some effort, they finally found an important clue - an ancient map.

The map was marked with mysterious locations and runes, seemingly indicating the method for performing some forbidden technique. Ling Xue gazed at the map, a strong sense of crisis welling up in her heart. She said, "This map is definitely connected to the conspiracy of evil forces. We must bring it back as soon as possible and show it to Yun Che and the others."

Xiao Yifeng and Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement. Then, the three of them quietly exited the secret room, using the wind and sand as cover to successfully leave the castle.

They sped along and soon returned to the base camp of the cultivation world. Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them return safely. He asked, "You're back? How was the investigation going?"

Ling Xue handed the map to Yun Che and said, "We found this map. It has some mysterious locations and runes marked on it. They look like the method for performing some forbidden technique. Yun Che, take a look at this map. Can you spot any clues?"

Yun Che took the map and examined it carefully. After some research, he finally discovered the secret on the map - these locations and runes formed an ancient forbidden magic formation!

Yun Che looked at the map, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He said, "This map does indeed show an ancient forbidden formation. This formation can unleash a powerful evil force, enough to subvert the peace and tranquility of the entire cultivation world."

Ling Xue was shocked when she heard this and said, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch the evil forces succeed?"

Yun Che shook his head and said, "Of course not! We must find a way to destroy this forbidden formation in order to stop the evil forces' conspiracy."

Xiao Yifeng said, "But this forbidden formation must be heavily protected by evil forces. How can we approach it?"

Yun Che pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can use the power of the cultivation world to organize a powerful coalition and launch a joint attack on the evil forces. Only in this way can we have a chance to approach and destroy the forbidden magic formation."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xue, Xiao Yifeng, and Lin Wan'er all agreed that Yun Che's idea was a good one. Thus, they began preparing for the coalition. After considerable effort, they finally succeeded in organizing a coalition comprised of masters from various sects.

The coalition forces were ready to launch an attack on the evil forces. Yun Che stood at the forefront of the coalition forces, gazing at the barren desert and the black castle ahead, a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart. He said, "Everyone, this battle concerns the peace and tranquility of the entire cultivation world. We must go all out to defeat the evil forces!"

Upon hearing this, the allied soldiers shouted in unison: "For peace in the world of cultivation! For justice!"

Under the leadership of Yun Che, the coalition forces began to march towards the territory of the evil forces. They were unstoppable along the way and soon arrived at the outskirts of the castle.

The black-robed man watched the coalition approach, a sneer flashing in his eyes. He said, "These guys dared to come and die! Let them see how powerful I am!"

After saying that, the black-robed man waved his sleeves, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
