Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

Chapter 143 A powerful suction force

The team moved quickly through the dense forest, sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on them. Seriousness and urgency were written on everyone's face; they knew time was of the essence.

"We have to speed up." Jin Lingxianxia glanced back at the team and said, "The black-robed old man's plan may be activated at any time. We must arrive before him."

"But the paths in this forest are so complicated, it's easy to get lost," Fairy Shuirou said worriedly. She gently waved the silk jade belt in her hand, as if sensing the surrounding atmosphere.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Lin Feng said, and took out a shimmering bead from his arms. It was a magic weapon he had obtained during an expedition before, which could guide the direction.

Everyone followed Lin Feng and soon walked out of the forest and arrived at a barren plain. At the end of the plain stood an ancient and mysterious stone tower, shrouded in black mist, which made people feel cold.

"Is that the lair of the old man in black robe?" Zhu Yao asked, pointing at the stone tower.

The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior nodded. "That's right, we must proceed with caution. Although the old man in black robe is dead, his men may still be in the stone tower."

They approached the tower cautiously, trying not to make any noise. However, as they neared the tower's gate, they triggered a trap. A stream of fire erupted from the ground, narrowly avoiding burning them.

"That was close!" Junior Sister Qingyu patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

"It seems that the old man in black robe has indeed left a lot of tricks here." Jin Ling Xianxia said, and began to observe the structure of the trap, trying to find a way to crack it.

After some effort, they finally managed to break the trap and enter the stone tower. The interior was dark and eerie, with strange runes carved into the walls, emitting a faint glow. They advanced along the winding corridors, constantly alert for possible enemies.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before their eyes. Everyone immediately became alert and drew their weapons, ready to fight. However, when they chased after it, they found that the shadow had disappeared without a trace.

"This...what's going on?" Junior Sister Dong Meng said a little fearfully.

"This place may be filled with traps and illusions." Su Mo waved his rune-emblazoned folding fan and analyzed calmly, "We must remain calm to find the black-robed old man's true hiding place."

They continued to go deeper into the stone tower, encountering many traps and illusions along the way. However, with wisdom and courage, they overcame these obstacles one by one. Finally, they came to a spacious basement.

In the center of the basement stood a massive altar, inscribed with intricate runes and patterns. Above the altar hovered a black ball of light, seemingly imbued with a powerful evil force.

"Is that the sacrifice that the old man in black robe used to resurrect the evil god?" Jin Ling Xianxia said in surprise.

"It seems so." Lin Feng tightly grasped the primitive ancient wooden staff and looked around vigilantly, "We must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise once the evil god is resurrected, the consequences will be disastrous."

However, just as they were about to take action, a burst of cold laughter suddenly rang out. Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see a figure in a black robe slowly stepping out from the shadows.

"Do you think you can really stop me?" The man in black robe said coldly. His voice was exactly the same as that of the old man in black robe before.

"You... aren't you already dead?" Junior Sister Qingyu said in surprise.

"Hahaha, that's just a clone of mine." The black-robed man laughed wildly, "The real black-robed old man won't die so easily."

As he spoke, he swung his staff, sending streaks of black light lashing out at the crowd. They rushed to resist, but this time the black-robed figure seemed even more powerful than before. While their attacks were fierce, they were unable to inflict substantial damage on him.

"It seems that we have to show our real skills." The Golden Spirit Immortal Hero shouted, and the spiritual power in his body instantly boiled up, and the Lingguang Immortal Sword also shone with an even brighter light.

Seeing this, the others also unleashed their most powerful immortal arts. Fairy Shuirou's silk jade belt danced in the air, forming soft curtains of light; Lin Feng's pristine ancient wooden staff released bursts of vitality; Junior Sister Dong Meng's dust-gathering star-forming soil transformed into tiny specks of starlight, flying towards the black-robed man; the young man in green's Wanhunwenjing flute emitted passionate tones, stirring the hearts; Su Mo's rune-emblazoned folding fan gently waved, unleashing a series of rune-based attacks towards the black-robed man; and Mu Qi's wooden retractable spear transformed into a cold beam, piercing the black-robed man's vital points.

However, the black-robed figure seemed unfazed by these attacks. He smiled coldly, quickly forming seals with his hands, and a powerful barrier once again firmly protected him. Everyone's attacks landed on the barrier, but only caused ripples.

"Your power is still too weak," the black-robed man taunted. "But that doesn't matter. When I resurrect the evil god, all your power will belong to me."

As he spoke, he waved his staff again, preparing to start the ceremony on the altar. However, at this moment, a clear and crisp piano sound suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see Qinxin Fairy seated before a guqin. Her fingers danced across the strings, producing a passionate and moving melody. The sound seemed to possess magical power, purifying and elevating the soul.

As the piano music began to play, the mocking expression on the black-robed man's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of fear. He found that his barrier was actually beginning to crumble under the impact of the piano music.

"No! This is impossible!" the black-robed figure cried out in terror. He tried desperately to stabilize the barrier, but it was too late. With a loud bang, the barrier was finally shattered by the sound of the piano.

The crowd's attacks took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the black-robed man. Although the black-robed man fought desperately, he was ultimately unable to withstand the combined attack of the crowd. His body gradually became riddled with holes under the attacks of the crowd, and he finally fell to the ground helplessly.

"We won!" Junior Sister Qingyu cheered.

However, just as they were about to destroy the offerings on the altar, the black ball of light suddenly erupted with a powerful evil force. Everyone felt a huge force that threw them away and they fell heavily to the ground.

When they struggled to stand up, they saw that the black ball of light on the altar had disappeared without a trace, and a huge black crack had appeared in the originally empty basement. The crack exuded a strong evil aura, as if it connected to another terrifying world.

"The evil god... has been resurrected?" Jin Lingxianxia said in shock.

Everyone was silent. They knew that although the battle was over, the real crisis had just begun. They had to report this news to their master and the elders as soon as possible so that they could formulate a strategy to deal with the resurrection of the evil god.

However, as they were about to leave the basement, they discovered that the black cracks had actually begun to spread. Black tentacles stretched out from the cracks and attacked them.

"Retreat!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted, leading everyone to flee towards the exit. However, those black tentacles seemed to have endless power and pursued them closely.

They ran as fast as they could and finally reached the exit of the stone tower. However, when they rushed out of the stone tower, they found that the entire plain was shrouded in black fog. The fog was filled with the smell of evil and despair, which made people feel terrified.

"What should we do?" Fairy Shuirou asked anxiously.

The Golden Spirit Immortal Warrior tightly grasped the Spirit Light Immortal Sword and said with a determined look, "No matter what, we cannot give up. Even though the evil god has been resurrected, as long as we unite as one, we will definitely find a way to defeat it."

As he spoke, he led everyone towards the Five Immortals Pavilion. They knew that only by returning to the sect could they rely on the power of their master and elders to fight against the evil spirit.

However, as they approached the Five Immortals Pavilion, they discovered that the entire sect was also enveloped in a black mist. From time to time, bursts of shrill wails could be heard from the mist, sending chills down one's spine.

"This...what's going on?" Zhu Yao said in surprise.

"It seems that the power of the evil god has infiltrated here." Jin Lingxianxia said in a deep voice, "We must find the master and the elders as soon as possible to see if they have any way to fight against the evil god."

They carefully made their way through the mist and finally arrived at the main hall of the Five Immortals Pavilion. The hall door was tightly closed, as if separating two worlds. They pushed it open, only to find the hall in utter disarray. The master and the elders were nowhere to be seen.

"Master! Elders!" Jin Lingxianxia called out anxiously. However, the only response he got was the echo echoing in the hall.

"It seems that they have been captured by the evil god." Lin Feng said heavily.

Hearing this, everyone felt even more depressed. They knew that their master and the elders were their last hope. If even they couldn't defeat the evil god, the entire continent would be plunged into darkness.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," said the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero. "We must find a way to fight the evil god and rescue our master and the elders."

"But what should we do?" Junior Sister Qingyu said helplessly.

"I think we should seek help from other sects," Su Mo said. "Only by uniting all our forces can we fight against the evil god."

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that this was the only solution at the moment. So, they began to split up and go to various sects to seek help.

However, when they arrived at other sects, they discovered that they had also been attacked by the evil god. Some sects had been reduced to ruins, while others were desperately resisting the evil god's attacks.

Seeing these tragic scenes, Jin Lingxian and his companions became more determined to fight against the evil god. They began to unite the forces of various sects and discuss strategies to fight against the evil god.

After some discussion, they decided to form an alliance and jointly attack the evil god's lair - the ancient stone tower. They knew that only by destroying the stone tower could they completely eliminate the evil god's threat to the continent.

The coalition army marched towards the stone tower in a mighty force, overcoming numerous difficulties along the way. Finally, they arrived in front of the stone tower. Looking at the stone tower standing tall on the barren plain, everyone's eyes were filled with determination.

"For the peace and tranquility of this continent, we must destroy this stone tower!" Jin Ling Xianxia shouted loudly.

Everyone responded in unison, unleashing their strongest magic. Suddenly, light shone everywhere, magic flew everywhere. The entire plain seemed to be shaken by this overwhelming force.

Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented powerful pressure descending from the sky. The sky instantly darkened, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and it seemed as if the whole world was shaking.

"What's going on?" Lin Feng frowned and looked up at the sky. The primitive ancient wooden staff in his hand emitted a faint light, as if warning of the impending danger.

"Oh no, this is the power of the evil god awakening!" Jin Lingxianxia's face suddenly changed. He felt the fear and oppression from the depths of his soul.

At this moment, the black mist swirling around the stone tower suddenly grew thicker, seemingly tangible, and rolled towards the coalition forces. The mist held the aura of evil and death, and even the most advanced immortals would find it difficult to resist once contaminated.

"Retreat!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted, and his spiritual power burst out, leading everyone to retreat quickly. However, the black mist seemed to have life and pursued them relentlessly.

Everyone in the coalition used their own magic to try to resist this evil force. However, the black mist was so powerful that their attacks were like a drop in the ocean, with no effect at all.

"What should we do?" There was a hint of despair in Junior Sister Qingyu's voice. She had never seen such a horrific scene.

"Don't panic, everyone concentrate and use defensive magic together!" Jin Ling Xianxia suppressed the fear in his heart and commanded everyone loudly.

Upon hearing this, the immortals in the coalition forces gathered their minds and concentrated their spiritual energy into one place, forming a huge defensive light shield. The light shield shone with a dazzling light, seemingly able to resist all evil and darkness.

However, when the black mist hit the defensive shield, everyone still felt an indescribable pressure. The shield began to tremble violently, as if it would break at any moment.

"Hold on!" Jin Lingxianxia gritted his teeth, knowing full well that he couldn't retreat at this moment. If their defenses were broken, they would all be doomed.

At this moment, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded among the coalition forces: "Children, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see a golden light streaking down from the sky, instantly arriving near them. Within that light were their long-lost master and elders.

"Master! Elders!" The immortal heroes in the coalition cheered, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

Without further ado, the Master and the Elders quickly joined the defense. With their presence, the defensive shield suddenly became impenetrable. While the black mist remained fierce, it could no longer penetrate even a fraction.

However, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a dazzling black light suddenly erupted from the stone tower. It shot straight up into the sky, stained the entire sky black. At the same time, an unprecedented evil aura emanated from the stone tower, filling everyone present with an unprecedented sense of fear and despair.

"Has the evil god...really been resurrected?" asked Fairy Shuirou in a trembling voice.

The master nodded gravely. "Indeed, he has fully awakened. We must find a way to defeat him as soon as possible, otherwise the entire continent will be doomed."

Upon hearing this, the coalition forces felt a surge of resolute determination. They knew there was no turning back. Only by forging ahead courageously could they defeat the evil god and save the continent.

However, just as they were about to launch another attack, a cold and mocking voice suddenly rang out from the stone tower: "Hmph, you ants, do you really think you can defeat me? Today, I will let you witness the true power of the evil god!"

As the voice fell, black tentacles began to emerge from the stone tower. They danced in the air, as if possessing life. They quickly attacked the coalition forces, bringing with them endless evil and death.

Seeing this, the coalition forces unleashed their strongest magic to resist. However, the black tentacles were incredibly powerful, and even their combined attack proved difficult to withstand. Suddenly, men in the coalition forces began to fall to the ground, injured.

"Everyone be careful!" Jin Lingxianxia loudly reminded everyone. He knew that this was a moment of life and death.

At this moment, a powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the stone tower. It seemed to be able to devour everything, and even the strongest in the coalition army could hardly resist it. Everyone felt their bodies lighten, as if they were being sucked into an endless darkness.

"No! We can't give up like this!" Jin Lingxianxia struggled with all his might, trying to break free from the suction. However, the suction grew stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow them all up.

At this moment, a mysterious and powerful voice suddenly rang out among the coalition forces: "Children, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see a dazzling light streaking down from the sky. That light contained endless hope and power, as if it could dispel all darkness and evil.

However, just as the light was about to touch them, the suction force of the stone tower suddenly reached its peak. Everyone felt an irresistible force pulling them violently into the darkness...
