Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Su Yu launched the attack first. He shouted and rushed towards the group of spiritual creatures. Every punch he threw was accompanied by a whistling sound, and a flash of light appeared after hitting the spiritual creatures. Lin Ze was not to be outdone. He swung his weapon and drew silver light. Wherever he went, the spiritual creatures screamed miserably.

But there were too many spirit creatures, and gradually the two of them were exhausted. At this time, Su Yu suddenly remembered the ancient books he had read, which recorded that these spirits were afraid of fire. He quickly took out a flame talisman from his storage bag, chanted a spell, and the flame talisman instantly turned into a blazing fire and swept towards the spirit creatures. Seeing this, Lin Ze also used his own spiritual power to turn into flames and join in.

The blazing flames were like ferocious fire dragons, mercilessly surrounding the spirit creatures. They twisted their bodies in pain in the sea of ​​fire, howling miserably, as if they were experiencing a terrible nightmare. However, although most of the spirits were trapped in the flames, a small number of powerful guys still struggled desperately, and finally succeeded in breaking through the flame encirclement, and pounced on Su Yu and Lin Ze again like a group of hungry wolves.

Faced with this sudden crisis, Su Yu and Lin Ze had no intention of retreating. They gritted their teeth, exchanged firm glances, and decided to use their most powerful tricks. Su Yu put his hands together, muttered something, and a powerful spiritual power gushed out of his body; while Lin Ze raised one palm to the sky, and a dazzling light flashed in his palm. At that moment, two dazzling lights suddenly shot out, like lightning that broke through the night sky, rushing straight towards the remaining spiritual creatures with the power of destroying the world.

There was a loud bang, and wherever the light passed, all the spirits were instantly wiped out. Even the surrounding air was violently fluctuating due to this powerful force, forming visible ripples that spread out in all directions. When the last spirit completely dissipated into nothingness, the originally noisy and chaotic air finally returned to its former calm.

Su Yu and Lin Ze's tense nerves also relaxed at this moment. They took a long breath, and then, as if all their strength had been drained away, they both collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. The thrilling battle just now had almost exhausted all their physical strength and energy. At this moment, they just wanted to take a good rest and let their exhausted bodies get a moment of peace.

The two of them lay like this for a long time, until the afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies and they slowly sat up.

"It was really dangerous this time." Su Yu sighed.

Lin Ze smiled bitterly and nodded, "But our strength has also improved a lot. After this kind of actual combat, I feel that I can control my spiritual power more easily."

Su Yu was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he looked into the distance.

I saw a dark shadow rushing towards me from the horizon in the distance, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing. As it got closer and closer, I could clearly see that it was a sturdy messenger bird. The messenger bird was completely black, and its feathers were gleaming with a faint light, like a meteor streaking across the sky in the dark night.

When it flew close, Su Yu stretched out his strong arm without hesitation. As if in sync with him, the messenger bird landed steadily on his arm. Looking closely, you will find a small piece of paper tied tightly to the leg of the messenger bird.

Su Yu carefully untied the note and gently unfolded it. When he saw what was written on the note, his originally calm face instantly became solemn, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered an extremely difficult situation.

Seeing this, Lin Ze at the side hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Su Yu took a deep breath and said slowly, "The sect has received news that a mysterious dark force has quietly appeared in the nearby mountains. Many disciples have been ordered to investigate the situation, but without exception, they have all disappeared and there has been no news since then. The sect leader is worried that the situation will deteriorate further, so he sent a message for us to return to the sect as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures together."

Hearing this news, Lin Ze's face also showed surprise, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. However, after a brief shock, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Su Yu. At this time, the two people's eyes met, and there was a deep worry about unknown dangers, but more of a firm and unwavering determination to move forward.

"It looks like we won't have any free time during this period. In that case, let's set off quickly." As Lin Ze said this, he quickly stood up and tidied his slightly messy clothes.

Su Yu nodded, and then stood up. He patted off the dust on his body, then stretched his limbs, ready to set off at any time. Then, without any hesitation, the two turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the sect.

Their figures were like two gusts of wind, passing through the mountains and forests, making a slight noise. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows. Gradually, they walked farther and farther away, and finally disappeared in the vast twilight...

The two traveled day and night and finally arrived at the sect. The atmosphere in the sect was depressing and the disciples all looked nervous. Su Yu and Lin Ze walked straight to the meeting hall.

The head of the sect was standing in front of a huge map with a frown on his face. He nodded slightly when he saw them coming. "It's good that you're here. According to the latest intelligence, the dark power seems to be hidden behind an ancient formation. This formation is very strange. We have tried to crack it many times but failed."

Su Yu walked forward, his eyes fixed on the map in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint it deeply in his mind.

He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, he raised his head, a glimmer of confidence in his eyes, and said slowly: "Master, I have seen something similar to this formation in an ancient book. In my opinion, you might as well give it a try, maybe there is a way to break it."

When everyone heard this, the fire of hope instantly ignited in their originally dim eyes, and looks of expectation appeared on their faces.

They knew very well that Su Yu was gifted and knowledgeable. Since he was so confident, he must have gained something from this.

Without further ado, Su Yu made a prompt decision and led Lin Ze and several of his capable disciples to rush towards the mysterious mountain without stopping. Along the way, they slept in the open air, but their faith became stronger and stronger.

After several days of travel, they finally arrived at their destination.

Looking at the mountain filled with strange atmosphere, Su Yu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then carefully began to crack the formation according to the method in his memory. He kept changing various complicated hand seals with his hands, muttering something, and a faint spiritual light emanated from his body.

Just as the formation was about to be successfully broken, suddenly, a powerful and evil dark force seemed to sense the threat and suddenly gushed out from the ground, like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing towards Su Yu and others.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone was shocked, but they quickly came to their senses and used their unique skills to resist the fierce attack of the dark force.
