Rise of the Otherworld.

Facing the increasingly frenzied attacks of the evil spirits, Lin Yu and his disciples gritted their teeth and fought back with all their might. Each of their faces was filled with exhaustion and determination. Their movements gradually slowed, but the fighting spirit in their eyes never extinguished. The air was filled with the smell of blood and death, and every breath seemed to carry a heavy burden.

Lin Yu's wounds continued to ooze blood, and his physical strength was close to the limit, but he still swung the sword firmly, holding up a sky of hope for his disciples. His eyes burned with an unyielding fire, and every swing of the sword was filled with the determination to fight to the death.

"Master, we can't hold on any longer!" a disciple cried desperately. His voice was tearful, and his body and mind were on the verge of collapse.

"As long as there is still breath, I will never give up!" Lin Yu responded loudly, with unquestionable determination in his voice. His throat became hoarse from excessive shouting, but his firm tone gave everyone a little courage to persevere.

Just as everyone felt despair, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from the ruins. This bell, seemingly from ancient times, carried a mysterious and powerful force that instantly halted the movements of the evil spirits. The bell's clear and melodious tone, yet it also held an immense majesty that seemed to penetrate the soul.

"This is..." Lin Yu felt a little doubtful. His eyes involuntarily looked in the direction where the bell came from, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

Then, a golden light descended from the sky, illuminating the entire dark ruins. Within the light, a mysterious old man slowly emerged. The light was warm and gentle, yet impossible to look directly at.

The old man, dressed in a white robe, bore the air of an immortal, his gaze radiating immense majesty. His white hair fluttered in the wind, like an immortal descending to earth. In his hand, he held a cane, inlaid with gemstones, gleaming with a mysterious light.

"What evil spirit is causing trouble here!" The old man shouted, his voice like a bell, shaking the evil spirits back. His voice contained a powerful force, which made the evil spirits feel a deep fear.

When Lin Yu and his disciples saw the old man, they felt as if they had seen a life-saving straw. Their eyes flashed with surprise and hope, and their original despair was instantly replaced by joy.

"Senior, please save us!" Lin Yu shouted. His voice was full of urgency and pleading, as if a drowning man was grabbing the last straw.

The old man nodded slightly, waved his hands, and a powerful force surged from his hands, instantly enveloping the evil spirits. The power was like a surging wave, unstoppable.

Under the pressure of this force, the evil spirits howled in agony. Their bodies began to twist and dissipate, transforming into wisps of black smoke that vanished into the air. The once dark ruins gradually returned to calm, leaving only the heavy breathing of the people.

The crisis was finally resolved, and Lin Yu and his disciples breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Their bodies were exhausted to the extreme, as if they would faint at any time.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior." Lin Yu said weakly. His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but his eyes were full of gratitude.

"You're welcome. We can't stay here for long. Please leave immediately," the old man said. His voice was calm and kind, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.

Lin Yu and the others did not dare to delay, supporting each other and standing up with difficulty. They walked towards the exit of the ruins step by step, and every step seemed to exhaust all their strength.

On the way out of the ruins, Lin Yu's heart was filled with emotion. This experience made him deeply aware of his own insignificance and the dangers of the world. But at the same time, it also made him more determined to move forward.

When they finally walked out of the ruins, the sunlight shone on them, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

However, what they don't know is that this is just a small episode in their long journey, and there are more challenges waiting for them ahead. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, they must continue to strengthen themselves in order to survive.
