Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Just as Lin Ze was getting used to the power in his body, the palace suddenly began to shake violently. On the walls of the palace, pictures appeared one after another, all of which were tragic scenes of various places being invaded by evil forces. Lin Ze understood that this was a revelation from the crystal ball, and he had to act immediately.

Lin Ze led everyone out of the palace and ran towards the area where the disaster was most severe as shown on the screen.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw that the entire town was shrouded in a dark evil aura and the people were suffering.

Lin Ze stood there with a solemn expression, and his hands quickly formed complex and mysterious hand seals. As he moved, a strong energy flowed from his body to the crystal ball in his hand. The crystal ball burst into a dazzling light, as if it contained endless sacred power.

Suddenly, Lin Ze shouted loudly and pushed the crystal ball forward. The power given to it shot out like a white lightning, rushing straight towards the surging black evil spirit. In an instant, the two collided in the air, making a loud noise that shook the earth. The holy light and the dark evil spirit intertwined and collided with each other, and it was difficult to tell who would win.

However, the dark forces were extremely tenacious, and they did not retreat because of this attack. Instead, they quickly adjusted their tactics, regrouped, and launched a more fierce counterattack. Countless black demonic shadows pounced on Lin Ze and the people behind him with bared fangs and claws, with a fierce momentum.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered an ancient book that he had accidentally read. The ancient book detailed a powerful purification array that could restrain all kinds of evil forces. Thinking of this, he shouted loudly without hesitation, commanding the people around him to quickly arrange their positions according to the layout of the array.

Although everyone was exhausted at this time, they gritted their teeth and acted quickly after hearing Lin Ze's order. After a while, a large and complex formation was formed.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, chanted something, and activated the purification array. In an instant, the array burst out with an incomparable powerful force, like a violent storm sweeping through. The originally arrogant and domineering dark demonic energy collapsed in front of this purification force and gradually dissipated without a trace.

Seeing the situation reversed, the leader of the evil forces knew that something was wrong and tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the scene. In a flash, a trace of determination flashed in Lin Ze's eyes, and his figure flashed in front of the enemy like a ghost, blocking his way.

What followed was a thrilling battle. Lin Ze held the crystal ball in his hand and continuously performed various exquisite spells, fighting a desperate battle with the leader of the evil forces. The leader was no ordinary person either, and he also used all his strength to try to break through Lin Ze's defense.

Time passed by, and the battle entered a white-hot stage. In the end, Lin Ze successfully defeated his opponent with his strong will and the powerful power given by the crystal ball. With the fall of the leader of the evil forces, the entire battlefield fell into silence.

After a while, the people in the town woke up as if from a dream, and cheered. They poured into the streets, expressing their heartfelt gratitude to Lin Ze and others. Looking at the scene full of vitality and vigor, Lin Ze showed a gratified smile on his face.

However, he knew very well that this victory was just the beginning. In this vast world, there was still more darkness and evil waiting for him to eradicate. So, he secretly made up his mind to continue his journey with the power to save the people and to defend justice in the world with his own actions.

Lin Ze said goodbye to the townspeople and continued on his journey with the others. Along the way, they heard that strange things happened in the forest to the east. It was said that the animals there became extremely ferocious, and many travelers who passed by were killed.

When they reached the edge of the forest, they felt an oppressive atmosphere.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and carefully stepped into this mysterious and gloomy forest. As soon as he entered, he was keenly aware of the strangeness of the surrounding environment - those trees that should have been lush and full of vitality were all a creepy and strange black! The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, but the sound sounded like the low whispers of the devil from hell, which made people shudder.

At this moment, a sudden commotion broke the brief calm. A group of evil wolves with scarlet eyes flashing rushed towards Lin Ze from all directions like ghosts. Faced with such a dangerous situation, Lin Ze was extremely calm. He quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and once again exerted the powerful purification power that he had successfully used before. However, to his surprise, the effect of the purification power this time was greatly reduced!

After realizing that the situation was not good, Lin Ze did not panic. He thought calmly for a moment and wondered in his heart: Could it be that the evil energy here has some special source? So, he and his companions embarked on a more in-depth exploration journey.

After a lot of hard work, they finally found an ancient well in the deepest part of the forest. The well looked very old, and the well mouth was covered with moss and weeds. But the most striking thing was that the well continuously exuded an extremely strong evil breath, as if it was going to swallow up the whole world.

Lin Ze stared at the ancient well, frowning, and various possibilities flashed through his mind. In the end, he came to a conclusion: it is very likely that the seal under the well has loosened, causing the evil air to leak out. Without further ado, in order to prevent the disaster from spreading further, Lin Ze resolutely made an extremely dangerous decision - to risk going down the well himself to repair the broken seal.

Under the nervous and concerned gazes of his companions, Lin Ze tightly grasped a thick rope and slowly slid down along the wall of the well. The bottom of the well was dark and damp, filled with a pungent stench of decay. With the weak light, Lin Ze vaguely saw a huge stone emitting a faint evil light placed in the center of the well, and the surface of the stone was densely engraved with strange and ancient runes.

Lin Ze calmed himself and walked towards the stone. He concentrated his energy and used all his strength to operate his spiritual power. At the same time, he took out the crystal ball he carried with him. The crystal ball in his hand shone with dazzling light, interweaving and colliding with the evil light on the stone. Under the impact of this powerful energy, Lin Ze gritted his teeth and used all his strength to reshape and reinforce the seal bit by bit.

Time passed by, and every moment was a battle of life and death for Lin Ze. After an unknown amount of time, when the last rune was perfectly repaired, Lin Ze felt as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant, and his legs softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. But he held on and slowly climbed up the well with his exhausted body.
