Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

The man in black robe waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then said: "Next, you have to deal with the follow-up matters here and ensure that there is no danger here. As for this old man, let me take him back and deal with him."

After saying this, the man in black robe didn't wait for Lin Ze and the others to respond. He took the sealed old man and like lightning, he instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Ze and others looked at the direction where the man in black robe left, their hearts filled with admiration and gratitude.

They knew that if the man in black had not appeared, they would have found it difficult to escape the old man's clutches.

At the same time, they also understand that although the current crisis has been resolved, the road ahead is still full of challenges. They still need to continue to work hard and improve their strength in order to better deal with various unknown dangers.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, turned around and said to everyone: "Don't just stand there, follow the instructions of the senior in black robe and quickly deal with the follow-up." Everyone nodded and started to act.

They cleaned up the battlefield, treated their injured companions, and repaired the facilities destroyed by the old man one by one.

After finishing all this, it was already getting dark.

Lin Ze looked into the distance, thinking about his next plan.

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed, and it turned out to be the black-robed man who had left before.

When Lin Ze and others saw the man in black robe, they felt a little uneasy, but they still hurried forward to salute and show their respect.

The man in black robe stood there quietly, holding a rather ancient secret book in his hand, as if it had existed for a very long time. He slowly handed the secret book to Lin Ze and said softly: "You have a good character. This secret book is destined for you. I hope you can practice well."

When Lin Ze heard this, he was excited. He quickly stretched out his hands and carefully took the secret book. The secret book was heavy in his hand, and seemed to contain endless mysteries and power.

Just as Lin Ze was about to thank the man in black robe, he said, "If you encounter problems that are difficult to solve in the future, you can go to Luoxia Mountain to find me."

Lin Ze was shocked when he heard this. He knew that this was a trust and entrustment from the man in black robe. He nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will keep it in mind."

The man in black robe smiled slightly, then turned into a stream of light again and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Lin Ze tightly grasped the secret book in his hand, feeling the faint breath coming from it, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not let the black-robed man down.

He wants to lead everyone to practice hard together, become stronger, and face more challenges and difficulties in the future.

Lin Ze put away the secret book, turned to his companions and said: "Everyone has seen it. The senior thinks so highly of me. I must practice this secret book well. Let's work hard together and take care of each other in the future." Everyone agreed, their eyes full of anticipation.

After returning to the base, Lin Ze couldn't wait to open the secret book. The words on it were obscure and difficult to understand. The more he read, the more fascinated he became, and before he knew it, it was already late at night.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. Lin Ze opened the door and saw an injured companion.

The companion said anxiously: "Lin Ze, there is a strange aura nearby again, and it seems to be even stronger than the old man before!" Lin Ze's heart tightened and he immediately realized that the situation was critical.

He clenched his fists and said, "Don't panic, I have a secret book given to me by my predecessor, and I will be able to overcome the difficulties together with you." After that, he led everyone to run towards the direction where the breath came from, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what dangers lay ahead, he must protect the people around him and live up to the expectations of the man in black robe.

When they rushed to the source of the aura, they saw a huge black shadow standing in the ruins, emitting a terrifying aura.

The black shadow noticed them and slowly turned his head, his blood-red eyes flashing with ferocity.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, opened the secret book, and tried to find a way to deal with it.

At this critical moment, the secret book seemed to be given life, and suddenly burst into a dazzling light, as dazzling as the scorching sun at noon, instantly enveloping Lin Ze.

This light was so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it, as if it was a force from another world. Lin Ze closed his eyes tightly in the light, and felt a strong energy pouring into his body, blending with his own internal strength and converging into a surging torrent.

The light gradually faded away, and Lin Ze slowly opened his eyes. He felt his body filled with unprecedented strength. This strength not only filled his limbs, but also lifted his spirits. He took a deep breath, and then suddenly shouted loudly, the sound exploding in the air like thunder.

With this roar, Lin Ze led the way, like a cannonball, rushing straight towards the black shadow. His speed was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye he had rushed in front of the black shadow.

Upon seeing this, his companions followed without hesitation, rushing towards the shadow like a group of hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

In an instant, the two sides launched a thrilling and fierce battle like Mars hitting the Earth.

The long sword in Lin Ze's hand drew sharp arcs in the air, and each sword contained endless power, as if it was going to tear the void apart. The black shadow shuttled through the sword shadows with strange movements, and from time to time, it swung out black light, which collided with Lin Ze's sword light, making bursts of crisp collision sounds.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were intertwined, sparks flew, and the whole space was filled with this fierce battle.

Although the black shadow was powerful, Lin Ze and his companions cooperated well and echoed each other, forming an impeccable battle formation. With their concerted efforts, the black shadow was gradually forced into a disadvantage.

However, just when they thought victory was in sight, the black shadow suddenly underwent an amazing change. It seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and instantly split into countless small shadows. These small shadows, like ghosts, launched a fierce attack on Lin Ze and his companions from all directions at the same time.

Faced with this sudden change, Lin Ze did not panic. He quickly calmed down, observed the movements of these small shadows, and then decisively directed his companions to cooperate with each other to resist the attack that was coming like a tide.

Under Lin Ze's command, his companions attacked or defended, advanced or retreated, coordinating with each other perfectly. Their attack was like a storm, not giving Little Shadow any chance to breathe.

After an arduous battle, Lin Ze and his companions finally succeeded in resisting the crazy attacks of the little shadows and forced them back again.

Lin Ze knew that although they had won the battle temporarily, they still had a long way to go and would encounter more powerful enemies and challenges. However, he was full of confidence because he believed that as long as they had this secret book and these like-minded companions by their side, they would be able to overcome everything no matter how great the difficulties were.
