Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze approached the evil lair silently, and saw that it was surrounded by various strange traps. He carefully avoided them and went deep into the interior with his high martial arts and extraordinary courage. The evil cultivators inside were discussing something around a formation that exuded a strange aura, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Lin Ze saw the right moment and took the lead in attacking. He rushed into the enemy formation, sword shadow flashing, knocking down several people in an instant. After the evil cultivators reacted, they immediately organized a counterattack, and all kinds of evil spells attacked Lin Ze. Lin Ze circulated his true qi to form a protective qi to resist.

The battle became more and more intense, and Lin Ze gradually figured out the routines of these evil cultivators. He found the leader, concentrated his strength to break through the defense line, and went straight to the evil cultivator leader. The evil cultivator leader was shocked and rushed to fight. After a few moves, the evil cultivator leader was defeated by Lin Ze. Lin Ze put a sword on his neck and said coldly: "You who have done many evil things, today is the day you will die." Seeing this, the other evil cultivators put down their weapons and surrendered.

After dealing with this evil force, Lin Ze embarked on his journey again. He knew that there were more challenges waiting for him ahead, but the belief in justice in his heart would never be extinguished.

Not long after Lin Ze left the nest, he felt a vague gaze following him from behind.

He pretended to walk casually into a woods and hid behind a big tree.

Not long after, a figure covered in a black robe was seen walking slowly and steadily. Seeing this, Lin Ze's heart tightened, and his right hand subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist. Just as he was about to draw the sword, the man in black robe spoke first: "Don't panic, my friend, I am definitely not your enemy."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black robe reached out and gently took off the black hood on his head. Suddenly, a face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Lin Ze. This person had a resolute face, eyes as deep as a pool of water, and a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows. He was obviously a righteous man.

After a conversation, Lin Ze finally realized that the man in black was also a righteous cultivator. For a long time, he had been alone and secretly investigating the larger and hidden forces behind this group of evil cultivators. This time he showed up to share the information he had with Lin Ze.

The black-robed man told Lin Ze solemnly that the evil cultivators he saw were just the tip of the iceberg. Behind them, there was a real mastermind who was scheming and ruthless, and was carefully planning a great conspiracy that would shake the world. If this conspiracy succeeded, it would bring a devastating blow and disaster to the entire world of immortal cultivation.

After hearing these words, Lin Ze's heart was shaken, and his eyes, which were already extremely resolute, now showed even more determination. After a short silence, he looked up at the man in black robes and nodded solemnly, indicating that he was willing to join hands with him to go deep into the tiger's den and thoroughly investigate the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes and the huge conspiracy he was planning.

After a brief discussion, the two of them set out on a dangerous journey. Along the way, they followed some extremely subtle and imperceptible clues and finally came to a city that looked quite old and dilapidated. The city walls were towering into the sky, and the gates were closed. From a distance, it looked like a sleeping beast. In the silence, there seemed to be an indescribable weird atmosphere everywhere.

When they stepped into the city carefully, they found that although it seemed calm on the surface, it was actually undercurrents, revealing creepy and strange things everywhere. At this moment, without any warning, a thick and heavy white fog suddenly swept over, instantly submerging the entire city in a white chaos. At the same time, waves of eerie and terrifying cold laughter came from the depths of the fog, as if it came from the Netherworld, making people shudder.

Faced with such a sudden change, Lin Ze was not afraid at all. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, turned sideways and quickly stood back to back with his black-robed companion beside him, concentrating on being alert to the unknown dangers that might appear around him at any time.

As the sneer got closer, a black shadow rushed out of the fog at high speed. Lin Ze drew his sword and swung it, the sword energy broke through the fog, and the black shadow disappeared in a flash. Then, the surrounding fog twisted as if it had life, turning into countless white ropes that entangled the two people.

Lin Ze and the man in black robes used their internal energy to resist, and their bodies shone brightly, breaking the white rope. At this time, the fog that was originally as thick as substance began to flow slowly, as if an invisible hand was gently pushing it away. Gradually, the fog became thinner and thinner, and finally dissipated completely. As the fog dissipated, a magnificent palace that exuded a hint of evil appeared in front of the two people.

This palace is tall and majestic, with a unique and gorgeous architectural style, but for some reason, it always gives people a gloomy and weird feeling. It seems that it is not a thing of the human world, but a devil's cave that suddenly rose from the Nine Nether Hell.

"It seems that what we have been looking for should be in this palace." The mysterious man in black robe said softly. Although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed excitement and anticipation that were difficult to conceal.

The two looked at each other, then walked cautiously towards the palace. When they just stepped into the gate, they suddenly felt an extremely powerful force surging like a tide, instantly sucking them tightly and pulling them forward rapidly. Fortunately, both of them were experienced in battle and had quick reactions, and they quickly adjusted their postures and stabilized their heels.

After they stood firm, they looked closely and saw a figure sitting in the middle of the spacious hall. This person was tall and was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness from head to toe, making it impossible to see his face and figure. They could only vaguely sense the evil aura emanating from him.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you two could find this place. You really have some skills." The figure wrapped in darkness spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, like the whisper of a demon from the depths of hell, creepy.

Hearing this, Lin Ze, who was standing nearby, was immediately enraged. He shouted, "You despicable and shameless conspirator! Today is the day you die!" Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the black shadow with a long sword in hand. At the same time, the man in black robes was not to be outdone. He danced his hands quickly and cast a series of powerful spells, cooperating with Lin Ze to attack the enemy.
