Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Lin Ze's slightly pale face. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and slowly flowed down his chin, but surprisingly, despite being seriously injured, he still stood tenaciously, his body straight as a pine tree, like an unshakable mountain.

At this moment, a dazzling auspicious light suddenly flashed across the originally gloomy sky. This light fell as fast as a meteor, and came close in the blink of an eye. When the light converged, people realized that it was actually a hermit with an immortal style and extraordinary temperament who happened to pass by here.

The master's eyes were sharp, and he saw through the situation at a glance. When he saw the group of black-robed men committing violence, he couldn't help but feel indignant. He snorted coldly, and his figure flashed, and he appeared in the center of the battlefield in an instant. The black-robed men were all shocked when they saw this. They obviously didn't expect such a powerful person to interfere.

Without saying anything, the master used his unique skills. In an instant, dazzling golden lights shot out from his hands, flying straight towards the black-robed people like sharp arrows. The golden lights were extremely fast and powerful. The black-robed people were terrified and used all their strength to try to resist this fatal blow. However, facing the powerful strength of the master, their resistance seemed so insignificant and they were powerless.

With the perfect cooperation between the master and Lin Ze, the camp of the black-robed people suddenly fell into chaos. They were beaten back step by step, with heavy casualties. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the black-robed people shouted angrily: "Retreat!" Then, the remaining black-robed people quickly fled the scene like a tide, leaving only a mess on the ground and clouds of dust.

Lin Ze looked at the figure of the black robe going away and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and bowed deeply to the master who helped him, expressing his heartfelt gratitude. The master smiled slightly and waved his hand gently to indicate that there was no need to be polite. After a conversation, Lin Ze learned that this master was a senior master who had been in seclusion for many years and came out this time only to uphold justice and eliminate violence.

After parting with the master, Lin Ze secretly made up his mind to find out the origin of the hidden forces behind these black-robed men.

Only by completely eradicating this threat can the world be at peace. With this firm belief, Lin Ze resolutely embarked on the journey of going out to explore the truth.

Lin Ze followed the clues all the way and came to a mysterious valley. The valley entrance was shrouded in mist, revealing a strange atmosphere. After entering the valley, Lin Ze found that there were many strange rune prohibitions. Just as he was moving forward cautiously, he suddenly heard a low roar. A huge monster appeared in front of him, exuding a strong evil spirit.

Lin Ze tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, his muscles tensed, and he entered a state of high alert, ready to face this life-and-death contest. However, just as he was confronting the monster in front of him, his keen intuition made him notice something strange - this huge, hideous monster's attack method was actually chaotic and without any rules.

Lin Ze was secretly surprised, but he did not relax his vigilance. He concentrated his energy and tried to use his powerful mental power to explore the reason. When he carefully extended his mental power to the monster, a miracle happened! The monster, which was originally violent and ferocious, seemed to feel the kindness and communication from Lin Ze, and gradually calmed down.

After some efforts, Lin Ze successfully established a spiritual connection with the monster. Through this special way of communication, the monster revealed an astonishing secret to him: it turned out that a mysterious and powerful dark force was controlling it, forcing it to guard this place and not allow any creature to approach the depths of the valley.

After learning this important information, Lin Ze fell into deep thought. After a brief thought, he resolutely decided to go deep into the tiger's den to find out what was going on. So, he walked forward in the direction indicated by the monster. Along the way, the atmosphere around him became more and more weird and depressing, as if there was an invisible burden pressing on his heart.

Not long after, an ancient and magnificent palace suddenly appeared in Lin Ze's sight. The palace looked like it had gone through many years, the gate was closed, the steps in front of the gate were covered with moss, and the surrounding area was filled with a creepy and thick dark atmosphere. Lin Ze couldn't help but be alert, he keenly felt that this place must be inextricably linked to the mysterious black-robed man.

Facing unknown danger, Lin Ze had no intention of retreating. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then reached out and pushed open the heavy palace door. With a muffled "creak", the door slowly opened. At the same time, a sinister and terrifying laugh came from inside the palace: "Hahahaha... someone finally came to the door!"

Lin Ze was unmoved by the voice, his eyes were as bright as torches, revealing incomparable determination and courage. Because he knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the future was, it would not stop him from pursuing the truth and defending justice. A thrilling new battle has begun...

Lin Ze clenched his weapon and strode into the palace. The light in the palace was dim, and a dark shadow could be seen sitting on the throne. The shadow slowly stood up, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The black shadow's voice was cold.

"I must find out who is the mastermind behind that man in black robe! I think it must be you, sir." Lin Ze's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he stared at the black shadow in front of him without fear, emitting an aura of determination and unyielding spirit.

Upon hearing this, the black shadow could not help but sneer: "Humph, that's right, it's me! You bunch of self-important, sanctimonious so-called righteous people have been trying to destroy the perfect plan that I carefully planned all day long." After saying that, the black shadow suddenly waved his sleeves, and in an instant, countless black ghosts rushed towards Lin Ze like a surging tide.

Facing the sudden and numerous black ghosts, Lin Ze did not dare to be negligent. He flashed and displayed his exquisite body skills, dodging left and right, avoiding wave after wave of ghost attacks. At the same time, the sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and every time he swung the sword, it brought a sharp sword energy, fiercely slashing at those ghosts with bared fangs and claws. However, despite Lin Ze's agility and superb swordsmanship, these ghosts seemed endless and kept coming, making him gradually feel a little powerless.
