Sheng Rao narrowly avoided the ice spikes. She was startled in her heart. This man in black robe not only had a high level of cultivation, but also was ruthless. If she was not careful, she would probably die on the spot.

She quickly analyzed the black-robed man's attack method, trying to find his flaws. However, the black-robed man's attack was like a violent storm, continuous, making Sheng Rao almost unable to breathe.

At this moment, Lin Yu attacked again. He held a long sword in his hand and swung out a sharp sword energy, heading straight for the back of the man in black robe.

The man in black robe obviously did not expect Lin Yu to attack again. His body froze and he was hit by Lin Yu's sword energy. This time, he was unable to stand up again, but fell heavily to the ground.

Sheng Rao took the opportunity to step forward and stabbed the black-robed man's heart with a sword. However, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the black-robed man's heart, the black-robed man suddenly disappeared.

Sheng Rao was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that this was the escape technique of the man in black robe. She looked around but could not find any trace of the man in black robe.

"Master, he ran away." Lin Yu walked over and looked at Sheng Rao with some concern.

Sheng Rao nodded, and then said: "It's okay, he's already injured, he shouldn't cause us trouble again in the short term, let's go back."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He looked at the bloodstains on the ground, then left the forbidden area with Sheng Rao.

After returning to her residence, Sheng Rao's face was still solemn. The black-robed man she encountered this time was obviously targeting her. What kind of conspiracy was hidden behind this?

"Master, who is that man in black? Why does he want to kill you?" Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

Sheng Rao shook her head. "I don't know yet, but we must be careful. This man in black robe will not give up."

Lin Yu nodded and looked at Sheng Rao deeply. He was very glad that he could help Sheng Rao today. He would no longer be the person who allowed others to bully him.

The identity of the man in black robe remains a mystery, but Sheng Rao can be sure that the man in black robe is definitely not an ordinary person, and he was able to enter the sect’s forbidden area smoothly, so there must be someone in the sect helping him behind the man in black robe.

And Sheng Rao didn't have any enemies, so she really couldn't understand why she was the target of the man in black robe.

Immortal Master Qingchen also sensed the movement in the forbidden area. He sensed his way all the way and found Sheng Rao's residence.

"Rao'er, did you go to the forbidden area today?" Immortal Qingchen asked softly as he stood outside Sheng Rao's courtyard.

Sheng Rao was teaching Lin Yu in the room. When she heard Immortal Venerable Qingchen's voice, she walked out of the room, bowed respectfully and said, "Master, I did go to the forbidden area today, but I only took Lin Yu to practice. I did not do anything that violated the sect's rules."

Immortal Venerable Qingchen looked at Sheng Rao, his eyes flashing, and said, "There was an unusual movement in the forbidden area today. I sensed a strong aura, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be you there."

"Master, I was attacked by a man in black in the forbidden area. He has a high level of cultivation and his methods are ruthless. I guess he might be an enemy from outside the sect." Sheng Rao reported truthfully.

Immortal Qingchen frowned and asked, "The man in black? Do you know his identity?"

Sheng Rao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but he is obviously targeting me. He used ice spikes as hidden weapons, so I guess he may have ice spirit roots."

Immortal Qingchen pondered for a moment and said, "Ice Spirit Root? This matter is very serious. I will report this to the elders of the sect and strengthen the sect's defense. Although you have escaped today, you must be careful and not act alone again.

Sheng Rao nodded in agreement. She knew in her heart that this matter was not that simple and she had to be more careful.

Immortal Qingchen looked at Lin Yu standing aside and said, "Lin Yu, you performed well today. You deserve praise for being able to help at the critical moment. But your cultivation is still shallow. You need to practice diligently in the future so that you can protect yourself and the people you want to protect."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was very excited. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will work hard to cultivate and live up to the expectations of Master and Master."

"Sheng Rao, come to my palace later."

Immortal Qingchen nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Sheng Rao watched Immortal Qingchen leave, feeling a little uneasy. She knew that her master must have come to her because of the forbidden area today. Although she reported the truth, the identity and purpose of the man in black robes remained a mystery.

Back in the house, Sheng Rao asked Lin Yu to continue practicing, and she began to sort out her thoughts. She recalled every detail of the fight with the black-robed man, trying to find clues from it, but the identity of the black-robed man seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it elusive.

Soon, Sheng Rao came to the palace of Immortal Qing Chen. Immortal Qing Chen was sitting on the main seat, looking at her seriously.

"Rao'er, what do you think about what happened today?" asked Immortal Qingchen.

Sheng Rao pondered for a moment and said, "Master, I think this man in black is definitely not an ordinary enemy. He was able to successfully enter the sect's forbidden area and use ice spikes as hidden weapons. These all show that he has a deep background and strength. I guess he may be a spy sent by a force outside the sect, or someone inside the sect may be colluding with the external enemy."

Immortal Venerable Qingchen nodded and said, "Your guess is not without reason. There are indeed some unstable factors within the sect, but the threat from external enemies cannot be ignored either. Rao'er, as my disciple, you have high cultivation and are smart. I hope you can help me investigate this matter and find out the true identity and purpose of the man in black robe."

Sheng Rao was startled when she heard this. She knew that this was an arduous task, but she also understood that as a disciple of Immortal Master Qing Chen, she had to shoulder this responsibility.

"Yes, Master. I will do my best to assist you in investigating this matter." Sheng Rao replied respectfully.

Immortal Qingchen nodded with satisfaction, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Sheng Rao, saying, "This is a secret order from the sect. With this order, you can mobilize some of the forces in the sect to assist you in investigating this matter, but you must remember that this matter must be kept confidential and not let anyone know."

Sheng Rao took the jade slip with mixed feelings. It seemed that Immortal Qing Chen trusted her too much.

Sheng Rao raised his head and looked towards Immortal Qing Chen. There was clearly a different feeling in his eyes.

No way? Could it be that Immortal Qingchen likes her?

Although Immortal Qingchen is quite pleasing to the eye, he is not a villain, so it is absolutely impossible for her to be with him.

"Yes, disciple, I obey!"

Sheng Rao could only answer Immortal Qing Chen's words in a proper manner.

"How is Lin Yu's training going recently?"

Immortal Qingchen changed the topic and asked Sheng Rao.

"Lin Yu is very talented. Although he doesn't have spiritual roots, he is diligent and studious, and he is hardworking. He has already stepped into the threshold of cultivating immortals. As long as he continues to work hard, he will surely achieve something in time." Sheng Rao answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Immortal Venerable Qingchen nodded and said, "I have heard of this child Lin Yu for a long time. Although he has no spiritual roots, he has a strong character and is a promising talent."
