Rise of the Otherworld.

Following Lin Yu's instructions, the people of the Zhenwang Sect quickly divided into several teams and rushed towards the attacked village. Their figures cast long shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun, like arrows shot from a string, with firm determination and a sense of mission.

Lin Yu led a group of people who arrived at a village first. As soon as they entered the village, a strong smell of blood hit their noses, making them sick. The village was dead silent, with only the occasional cries of crows breaking the eerie silence. Corpses lay on the ground in all directions, some with their eyes wide open, as if telling of their fear and unwillingness in life; some were mutilated, and blood stained the ground red, forming a shocking pool of blood.

"Search carefully and don't let go of any clues!" Lin Yu said through gritted teeth. His voice was low and suppressed, full of anger and sadness. His eyes were burning with anger, and he wanted to find the murderer immediately and avenge these innocent villagers.

The disciples dispersed and diligently searched the ruins for clues, carefully turning over every stone and inspecting every collapsed house, leaving no corner that might hold a clue.

At this time, a disciple found a jade pendant with a special mark in an abandoned house. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, realizing that this might be an important discovery.

"Master, look at this." The disciple handed the jade pendant to Lin Yu, with a hint of excitement and nervousness in his voice.

Lin Yu took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. The jade pendant was round and smooth in texture, and engraved with a complex and mysterious mark. The mark looked like an ancient rune, with twisted and intertwined lines, making it difficult to understand. Lin Yu had never seen such a mark before, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before in the depths of his memory.

"Keep this safe, it may be an important clue." Lin Yu said, he carefully placed the jade pendant in his arms, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Elsewhere, Tang Feng's team discovered traces of a mysterious formation in a remote corner. Deep lines carved into the ground exuded a faint, sinister aura. The lines were so intricate and complex, like a vast maze, entrapping the wearer.

"This formation looks extremely sinister. It doesn't look like something an ordinary cultivator could set up," Tang Feng said, frowning. His eyes were filled with vigilance and suspicion. He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the lines. He felt a cold force coming from his fingertips, which made him shudder.

The sorcerer rushed over to investigate, her expression grave. "This is most likely connected to that evil organization. They might be using these formations to enhance their power or transmit information. We must study them carefully and not act rashly."

Other teams also made some discoveries, such as some strange spells and instruments of unknown purpose. The words on the spells were twisted and deformed, full of evil power; while the instruments were strangely shaped and emitted strange light.

Just as everyone was about to gather and exchange clues, a group of dark shadows suddenly appeared. They appeared silently like ghosts and surrounded the Zhenwang Sect members.

"It's them!" a disciple exclaimed, his voice filled with fear and tension.

Lin Yu drew his sword, and the sword flashed with a cold light: "Prepare for battle!" His voice was firm and decisive, bringing a touch of courage and confidence to everyone.

The True King Sect members quickly formed a circle, back to back, facing the surrounding shadows. Their heartbeats quickened, their breathing became rapid, but there was no trace of retreat in their eyes.

The dark shadows slowly approached, their figures were looming in the darkness, their faces could not be seen clearly, but one could feel the powerful aura emanating from them.

"Kill!" Lin Yu took the lead in attacking. He flashed and rushed towards one of the black shadows.

Everyone in the Zhenwang Sect also displayed their unique skills and started a fierce battle with the black shadow.

Can the people of the Zhenwang Sect repel this group of black shadows and obtain more information from them?
