Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

After saying that, Ling Yun began to carefully search the formation.

Seeing this, Mo Yu and the others dared not slacken their efforts and followed closely behind.

"right here."

Ling Yun suddenly stopped, staring at a spot with a wary expression.

Several people quickly surrounded them, but Ling Yun stopped them in the next second:

"Don't come any closer."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately stopped, looking puzzled, but showed no intention of approaching any further.

Ling Yun gathered spiritual energy in his hand.

Then there was a loud 'bang'.

The entire ground trembled.

With a loud bang, smoke and dust filled the air, and then settled down.

Then, everyone noticed that a faint light was emanating from the spot where Ling Yun had just attacked.

Ling Yun stepped forward and carefully examined what the eerie light was.

Seeing this, Mo Yu and the others also stepped forward.

The eerie light was actually emanating from a spirit stone engraved with runes.

Long Xiu couldn't help but ask:

"What is this?"

Ling Yun did not answer, but instead frowned and observed carefully.

The spirit stone was covered with intricate patterns, giving it a somewhat familiar feel.

Just as Ling Yun was deep in thought, the runes on the spirit stone suddenly flickered, and a powerful force burst forth from it.

"careful!"

Ling Yun shouted, and with lightning speed, he quickly created a barrier to separate them from the spirit stone.

The force arrived swiftly, and even with Lingyun's protective barrier, they could still feel its ferocity.

Ling Yun looked at the spirit stone, which seemed to have no intention of stopping.

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and drew a rune in the air, then cast it into the spirit stone.

The runes embedded in the spirit stone instantly burst forth with dazzling light, resisting the power on the spirit stone.

In an instant, the light shone brightly, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.

Mo Yu and the others watched all of this intently.

The spirit stone trembled slightly, its light gradually receded, and the fluctuations in its power slowly subsided.

Ling Yun then removed the barrier.

"Sis, what's going on?"

He clearly saw a wisp of black mist in the power that the spirit stone had just unleashed, and it was also entwined with Ling Yun's aura.

Lingyun remained silent.

At this moment, she was also somewhat puzzled.

Look at your right hand.

Just now, the runes she drew were also unknown to her.

But when faced with the power that the spirit stone unleashed in an instant.

She reacted instinctively.

I know how to deal with it.

But he had no memory of the rune at all.

What went wrong?

Seeing Ling Yun like this, Mo Yu also looked uneasy.

Just then, the surrounding air suddenly became heavy.

An invisible pressure enveloped them, and Long Xiu and Xuan Tian felt difficulty breathing.

"This pressure...something's not right!"

Mo Yu frowned and looked at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun looked serious and looked around. There was even a trace of her aura in this pressure.

Even Long Xiu noticed something was wrong at this moment.

Seeing this, Mo Yu stepped forward and said with a serious expression:

"Sister, this matter is strange. This spirit stone seems to have some kind of connection with you."

Ling Yun's expression remained solemn as he quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find out where the aura similar to his own was coming from.

Just then, the spirit stone engraved with runes emitted a faint light once more.

This time, however, the light was mixed with wisps of black mist, which spread outwards like tentacles.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Tian immediately drew his longsword, its blade gleaming with cold light. He infused his spiritual power into the sword and unleashed several sword energies that slashed at the black mist.

However, the sword energy vanished the moment it touched the black mist, as if it had disappeared into the sea.

"This black mist is strange, everyone be careful!"

Xuan Tian stepped back several feet and shouted to Ling Yun and the others.

Long Xiu had the lowest cultivation level, so he dared not be careless and consciously walked behind his master.

No one felt there was anything wrong with his actions.

After all, if you act rashly knowing that you cannot predict the future, you will only implicate others.

It's better to stay behind the strong and make sure you don't cause trouble for others.

Ling Yun kept his eyes scanning the surroundings.

With this change, she quickly circulated all her spiritual energy, and a light blue halo appeared around her.

Ling Yun's gaze fell on the spirit stone that emitted an eerie light, and a strong premonition welled up in his heart that he had a deep connection with this mysterious power.

Seeing Ling Yun's reaction, Mo Yu frowned, gripped his longsword tightly, and continuously poured spiritual energy into the blade, causing it to shine brightly and illuminate the surrounding darkness.

Suddenly, a sinister low groan came from the black mist, as if countless wronged souls were crying out.

The sound grew louder and louder, penetrating everyone's ears.

Long Xiu and Xuan Tian were unable to resist the impact, causing a sharp pain in their heads.

Long Xiu covered his ears with both hands, his face showing pain. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"You've injured my disciple? You're asking for death!"

Ling Yun glanced at the dragon cultivator behind him.

His expression darkened, and he shouted.

Her voice was like a booming bell, piercing through the chilling whisper.

She stomped her foot, and spikes of earth shot up from the ground, piercing towards the black mist.

However, the earth spikes were instantly swallowed up the moment they came into contact with the black mist.

"This is not the way to go!"

Xuan Tian said anxiously.

"This black mist seems to be able to devour all attacks."

Ling Yun did not respond. Just a moment ago, some blurry images kept flashing through her mind.

Those images flashed by, but she couldn't grasp them no matter what she did.

Just as she was lost in thought, the spirit stone suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the surrounding black mist.

Within that light, a phantom figure slowly emerged.

The figure looked somewhat familiar, emanating a powerful aura.

"Master, you are finally here."

The figure spoke, its voice seeming to come from ancient times.

As soon as the figure spoke, Mo Yu and the others trembled.

Because the voice emitted by this figure was exactly the same as Ling Yun's.

The group subconsciously looked at Ling Yun.

When Ling Yun heard the word "master," the connection between her and the figure surfaced, causing her expression to change slightly.

The figure looked at Ling Yun and continued speaking:

“Master, I know you have many questions, but there are many things that I cannot explain clearly. Some things are only known to you. But before that, you should solve the current predicament.”

As the figure spoke, she moved her hands, and a powerful force surged from her body, instantly dispelling the surrounding black mist.

Everyone watched this scene in astonishment, and Ling Yun was filled with questions.

The figure turned to look at Ling Yun, his gaze filled with complex emotions:

"Master, the seal within you is about to be broken, and then the truth will be revealed."
