Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

Chapter 142 Sealing Techniques to Fight Monsters

Following the faint trail left by the black-robed old man, they journeyed deeper into the unknown forest. The wind in the forest seemed eerie, and every step was filled with uncertainty and danger.

"Who is this old man in black robe? How could he have such powerful strength and strange spells?" Su Mo frowned, and the runes on the fan flowed with his thoughts, as if looking for an answer.

"No matter who he is, we must stop his evil plan." The Jin Lingxianxia's eyes were like torches, and the Lingguang Fairy Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to his determination.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps ahead, and then several figures stumbled out from the bushes. They were the villagers who had disappeared earlier. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Hurry... run! That monster... he's back!" said a villager breathlessly.

"Monster? Are you talking about the old man in black robe?" Lin Feng reacted quickly and asked.

The villagers nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with despair. "He...he turned into a monster. Many people in our village were killed by him...by him..."

Before they could finish their words, a deafening roar echoed from deep within the forest, interrupting the villagers' words. Their hearts tightened, and they immediately realized that the black-robed old man was close at hand.

"Prepare for battle!" The Golden Spirit Immortal Hero shouted, and the Lingguang Immortal Sword instantly burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the darkness ahead.

Everyone quickly deployed, ready for battle. Soon, a massive figure emerged from the darkness. It was the black-robed old man. But now, he was no longer the frail old man he had been. Instead, he had transformed into a monstrous creature covered in black scales, his eyes crimson.

"You, dare to disturb my plan!" The black-robed monster roared, swung his fists, brought up a gust of wind, and rushed towards everyone.

The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior bore the brunt of the attack, swinging his Spirit Light Immortal Sword. A golden sword beam collided with the black-robed monster's fist, emitting a deafening roar. However, this collision caused the Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior's face to change drastically, as he discovered that his sword beam could not penetrate the layer of black scales.

"His defense has improved!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted urgently.

Seeing this, Fairy Shuirou immediately swung her silk jade belt, which drew a graceful arc in the air and wrapped around the black-robed monster. However, the monster seemed to have anticipated this and easily dodged the attack by turning its body to the side.

"We can't go on like this, we must find his weakness!" Lin Feng shouted. He tightly grasped the primitive ancient wooden staff, and the runes on the staff began to flow rapidly, releasing bursts of light.

At that moment, the seven-note zither of Qinxin Fairy rang out again. Like the sound of nature, the melody pierced through the clamor of the forest and struck the black-robed monster's soul. The monster's movements suddenly slowed, and a flicker of confusion crossed its eyes.

"Opportunity!" the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero shouted, and the Spirit Light Immortal Sword instantly accelerated, stabbing towards the monster's eye. This was the only part of the monster's body not covered with scales, and it was also their only hope.

However, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the monster's eyeball, the black-robed monster suddenly regained consciousness. He roared angrily and swung out with both fists, knocking the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero flying.

"Cough cough..." The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Senior Brother!" Everyone exclaimed and rushed forward to check his injuries.

"I'm fine... Everyone be careful, his soul power is very strong, Qin Xin's piano music can only affect him temporarily." Jin Ling Xianxia struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone felt even more anxious after hearing this. They knew that facing such a powerful enemy, any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

At this moment, Zhu Yao suddenly spoke: "I remember Master once mentioned an ancient sealing technique that might be able to be used to deal with this monster."

"Sealing technique? Are you sure about it?" Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero.

Zhu Yao shook her head slightly: "We're not completely sure, but this is our only hope right now."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Zhu Yao began to chant a spell rapidly, forming seals with her hands. A powerful force surged from her body, heading towards the black-robed monster.

The monster seemed to sense the threat, roaring angrily and swinging its fist towards the force. However, Zhu Yao's sealing technique was extremely powerful. After colliding with the monster's force, it gradually enveloped it, forming a huge ball of light.

"Hurry! Now is the time!" Zhu Yao shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone unleashed their strongest attacks, blasting towards the ball of light. Immortal swords of spiritual light, silk jade belts, primitive ancient wooden staffs... the light of various immortal arts intertwined around the ball of light, as if to completely destroy it.

Finally, under the concerted attack of everyone, the ball of light shattered. The black-robed monster fell out of it, black smoke billowing from its body, obviously having suffered heavy damage.

"Kill him while he's sick!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted, swung the Lingguang Fairy Sword again, and rushed towards the monster.

This time, they didn't give the monster any chance. Immortal Swords of Spiritual Light, Silk Jade Belts, Primitive Ancient Wooden Staffs... all kinds of magical arts rained down upon the monster, completely submerging it.

Finally, when the last ray of light faded, the black-robed monster vanished from everyone's sight, leaving behind only black scales scattered across the ground and a devastated battlefield.

"We...we won?" Junior Sister Qingyu asked in disbelief.

Everyone smiled at each other. Although their bodies were covered in wounds, their eyes were filled with the joy of victory. They knew that this victory over the black-robed monster was inseparable from the efforts and sacrifices of everyone.

"Yes, we won." The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior said with a smile. He looked at everyone, his eyes full of gratitude and pride. "But this battle is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that as disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace of this continent. No matter how many difficulties and challenges they encountered in the future, they would fight side by side until the last moment.

With the disappearance of the black-robed monster, the dense forest gradually returned to its former tranquility. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting dappled shadows across the ground. Everyone gathered their wounds and began their journey home.

However, they don't know that this battle only reveals the tip of a larger conspiracy behind the black-robed old man. In the days ahead, they will face even more severe tests and challenges. But no matter how difficult the road ahead, they will bravely move forward, using their wisdom and courage to write their own legend.

On the way home, everyone began to discuss the identity of the black-robed old man and the conspiracy behind him. They speculated that he might be an ancient wizard controlled by evil forces, or a crazy believer trying to resurrect an ancient evil god. But no matter the truth, they knew that only by discovering the black-robed old man's true purpose could they completely eliminate this threat.

"We must return to the Five Immortals Pavilion as soon as possible and report the situation here to our master and the elders." Jin Ling Xianxia said, "They may be able to provide us with more clues and help."

Everyone nodded in agreement and quickened their pace, heading towards the Five Immortals Pavilion. Along the way, they encountered countless hardships and obstacles, but each time they were able to overcome them with unity and wisdom.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, they returned to the Five Immortals Pavilion. When they reported the black-robed elder's story to their master and the elders, the entire Five Immortals Pavilion was shaken. The master and the elders immediately gathered all the disciples and began to discuss countermeasures.

After a night of discussion, they decided to send an elite team to the mysterious place where the black-robed old man might be hiding, to find his true purpose and weakness. Naturally, Jin Lingxianxia, ​​Shui Rouxianzi, Lin Feng and others became the core members of this team.

On the morning before departure, all the disciples gathered in the square of the Five Immortals Pavilion. They bid farewell to the departing team, their eyes filled with blessings and anticipation. Standing at the front of the group, Jin Lingxianxia gazed back at this familiar land and his beloved fellow disciples, his heart filled with emotion and reluctance to leave.

"We will definitely come back," he vowed secretly, "with victory and glory."

With the ringing of a resounding bell, the team set out on their journey. They traversed dense forests, crossed precipitous mountains, and crossed turbulent rivers... Every step was filled with unknowns and challenges. But they never retreated, knowing that they had the support and expectations of the entire Five Immortals Pavilion.

Finally, on a moonlit night with few stars, they arrived at the mysterious place where the black-robed old man might be hiding—a ruin sealed by ancient magic. The door to the ruins was tightly closed, as if no one had ever opened it. But the team members knew this was their destination.

They approached the gate cautiously and began searching for a way to break the seal. After some effort, they finally found the seal's weakness and successfully opened the gate. As the gate slowly opened, an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air.

The team members took a deep breath and stepped into the ruins. They walked along the dim corridor, each step filled with caution and tension. Suddenly, a low chanting sound came from the front. The sound seemed to penetrate the soul and put people into a strange state.

"Be careful!" Jin Lingxianxia warned in a low voice. He tightly grasped the Lingguang Immortal Sword and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

As the sound approached, a figure gradually appeared in their sight. It was an old man in a black robe, his eyes flickering with an eerie light, and in his hand he held a staff engraved with intricate runes.

"You're finally here." The black-robed old man said with a smile, his voice full of pride and sarcasm, "I've been waiting for you."

Everyone's hearts tightened upon hearing this. They knew that this black-robed old man was their true target. But what surprised them was that the black-robed old man's tone and attitude seemed to have anticipated their arrival.

"Who are you? Why do you do these evil things?" asked the Jin Ling Immortal Hero.

The black-robed old man smiled slightly and said slowly, "I am one of the guardians of this continent, but I am also a cursed being. I spared no effort to find a way to lift the curse. But unexpectedly, I fell into a deeper darkness."

Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this. They had never expected that this seemingly evil old man in black robes had such a tragic past and such a helpless choice.

"But no matter what your reason is, you cannot harm innocent lives!" Shuirou Fairy shouted angrily. She waved the silk jade belt, ready to attack.

The black-robed old man seemed to have anticipated her move and dodged the attack easily. At the same time, he swung his staff, and a black light attacked everyone.

Everyone used their magic...

The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior was swift and quick-witted. With a single swing of his Spirit Light Immortal Sword, he dispersed the black light. However, the black-robed old man's attacks did not cease. He moved left and right like a ghost, continuously launching fierce attacks at everyone.

"Everyone be careful, he's getting faster!" Lin Feng warned loudly. He gripped the primitive ancient wooden staff tightly, releasing bursts of light, trying to block the attack of the black-robed old man.

However, the black-robed old man was far too powerful. Although their magic was powerful, it was difficult to hit him. Every attack seemed to fall into the air, leaving everyone feeling helpless.

"This won't work. We have to find his weakness!" Qinxin Fairy said anxiously. She plucked the guqin again, trying to distract the black-robed old man with the sound.

But this time, the black-robed elder seemed on guard. He snorted coldly and quickly formed seals with his hands, creating a powerful barrier that firmly protected him. Qin Xin's music, though beautiful and melodious, was unable to penetrate the barrier and cause any effect on the black-robed elder.

"It seems you're still too naive," the black-robed old man taunted. He swung his staff again, and an even more powerful black light struck the crowd.

At this critical moment, Zhu Yao suddenly stepped forward. She clasped her hands together, muttered something, and a mysterious power surged from her body, instantly forming a powerful shield that firmly protected everyone inside.

The black light slammed fiercely into the shield, emitting a deafening roar. But to everyone's surprise, the shield remained motionless, steadily resisting the black-robed old man's attack.

"Good opportunity!" the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero shouted. He saw the right moment, and the Spirit Light Immortal Sword instantly accelerated, stabbing towards the black-robed old man.

The black-robed elder was caught off guard by the crowd's powerful defenses. He frantically waved his staff to block the attack, but it was too late. The Spiritual Light Sword pierced his chest like a flash of lightning.

"You..." The black-robed old man's eyes widened, filled with resentment and astonishment. His body slowly fell to the ground, and the staff in his hand also rolled to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this difficult battle was finally over. They supported each other and stood up, looking at the black-robed old man lying on the ground, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Did we really win?" Junior Sister Qingyu asked in disbelief.

The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior nodded, but his expression was not relaxed. "Although the black-robed old man has fallen, we still don't know if there is a bigger conspiracy behind him. This battle is just the beginning, and we still have a long way to go."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew solemn. They knew that as disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace of this continent. No matter how many difficulties and challenges they faced in the future, they would fight side by side until the very end.

They began to search the interior of the ruins, hoping to find more clues about the black-robed old man and his conspiracy. After some effort, they finally found an ancient magic book in a secret room.

"This tome may contain the black-robed old man's secrets and his true purpose," Zhu Yao said. She carefully opened the tome and began to read it carefully.

Everyone gathered around her, nervously awaiting her discovery. As Zhu Yao flipped through the pages of the book, expressions of astonishment and shock gradually appeared on their faces.

"It turns out the black-robed old man was once a great magician, but in his pursuit of greater power, he resorted to forbidden magic. As a result, he was corrupted by evil forces and became what he is today," Zhu Yao said. "And his conspiracy is to resurrect an ancient evil god in order to gain supreme power."

Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this. They had never expected that the black-robed old man would be so ambitious, actually wanting to revive an ancient evil god to rule this continent.

"We must report this news to our master and the elders as soon as possible," said Jin Ling Xian Xia. "Only they can formulate a strategy to deal with this conspiracy."

Everyone nodded in agreement, gathering their thoughts and discoveries and setting off on their journey home. They knew that while the battle was over, the real challenge had just begun. They must remain vigilant and prepared to deal with any future crises.

When they returned to the Five Immortals Pavilion, the entire sect was once again shaken. After listening to their report, the master and the elders immediately summoned all the disciples to discuss countermeasures.

After a long period of deliberation and discussion, they finally worked out a detailed plan to deal with the conspiracy behind the black-robed old man. Jin Lingxianxia, ​​Shui Rouxianzi, Lin Feng and others were once again entrusted with the important task of leading an elite team to stop the black-robed old man's real plan.

On the morning before departure, all the disciples gathered once again in the square of the Five Immortals Pavilion. They bid farewell to the departing team, their eyes filled with blessings and anticipation. Standing at the front of the group, the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero gazed back at this familiar land and his beloved fellow disciples, his heart filled with determination.

"We will succeed," he vowed secretly, "For the peace and tranquility of this continent, we are willing to pay any price."

With the ringing of a clear bell, the team set out on their journey again. They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but they also believed that as long as they united as one and moved forward courageously, nothing could stop them.

And somewhere in this continent, the black-robed elder's true plan is quietly unfolding. An ancient evil god is gradually awakening, its power growing. All of this will soon trigger an unprecedented disaster...
