Chapter 823: Never Slacked Off
Whether it was the scorching summer or the freezing winter, he never slacked off.
During his cultivation, Lin Ze encountered many difficulties and setbacks. But he always believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would be able to overcome everything. He constantly adjusted his mindset, summed up his experiences and lessons, and gradually found a cultivation method that suited him.
As time went by, Lin Ze's strength continued to improve. His skills became more sophisticated, and his control over his power became more and more precise. However, he did not become complacent. Instead, he practiced even more diligently, because he knew that compared to that mysterious force, he still had a long way to go.
One day, Lin Ze was practicing when a disciple suddenly ran up to him and said, "Brother Lin Ze, this is bad! Several small sects have been wiped out by a mysterious force, and some have even left behind bloody letters challenging us!"
Lin Ze's heart felt like it was engulfed in a blazing flame, and anger surged in his chest like a raging tide. He could not tolerate such a cruel family annihilation, especially when he learned that this small sect had some connection with him, his rage was uncontrollable.
Without hesitation, Lin Ze immediately petitioned the elders, requesting to personally investigate the incident. The elders gazed at Lin Ze's furious eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. They also dispatched several capable disciples to accompany Lin Ze to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation.
When they arrived at the small sect that had been annihilated, the scene before them was horrifying. The entire sect had been destroyed beyond recognition, in shambles, and the stench of blood filled the air, making one nauseous. Lin Ze suppressed his inner grief and anger and began to carefully examine the scene.
Amidst the ruins, Lin Ze discovered some strange runic markings. These runes appeared extremely ancient and mysterious, and he had never seen anything like them before. After some reflection, Lin Ze boldly speculated that these runic markings might be the mark left by a mysterious force. If he could follow these markings and find their traces, perhaps he could uncover the truth behind this tragedy.
Just as Lin Ze was concentrating on studying the runes, he suddenly heard a slight noise all around him. He raised his head alertly and saw a group of people in black robes swarming out from all directions like ghosts, surrounding them.
These men in black exuded a sinister and eerie aura, like messengers from hell. Their faces were obscured by black masks, revealing only pairs of cold and ferocious eyes that betrayed undisguised murderous intent.
Lin Ze gripped his sword tightly, the blade trembling slightly, revealing his inner tension and vigilance. He took a deep breath, gathered his composure, and vowed to himself: no matter what, he would extract the secrets of this mysterious power from these people, seek justice and revenge for those who had died innocently!
Lin Ze whispered to the disciples who came with him, "Everyone be careful, these people are not friendly." The disciples also grasped their weapons tightly and were ready for battle.
The man in black launched an attack instantly without any further ado.
Their moves were strange and varied, and their attacks were brutal. For a while, Lin Ze and the others were caught in a tough battle.
Lin Ze waved his sword, the sword shadow flashed, and he continued to resist the attacks of the man in black.
He seized the opportunity and thrust his sword forward. A man in black was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder.
The man in black groaned in pain, his voice piercing the silence of the night. The sound was particularly abrupt, as if the entire space was trembling slightly with it.
However, this did not make the other men in black retreat in the slightest. On the contrary, their attacks became even more ferocious, sweeping towards Lin Ze and the others like a violent storm. Under this fierce attack, Lin Ze and the others gradually found it difficult to resist and were forced to retreat repeatedly.
At this critical moment, a sharp sword energy suddenly came from a distance like lightning. This sword energy was extremely fast, reaching the black-clad men in the blink of an eye. There was a sound of metal clashing, and the black-clad men were struck hard and fell to the ground in an instant.
Everyone looked in astonishment, only to see an old man in a long robe standing majestically in the distance, holding a long sword. It turned out that the elder was worried about the safety of Lin Ze and the others, and had come to support them personally.
The elder's arrival was like a stabilizing force, instantly calming the panicked Lin Ze and the others. Their morale was boosted, and they joined the elder in launching a counterattack. The elder's swordsmanship was exquisite, each strike like an antelope hanging from a horn, leaving no trace yet incredibly powerful, leaving the men in black with no way to dodge.
Under the combined attack of the elders, Lin Ze, and the others, the men in black finally gave in and began to retreat. Their formation gradually became disorganized, and holes appeared in their once tight encirclement.
Seeing this, Lin Ze was overjoyed and was about to seize the opportunity to pursue and capture all the men in black in one fell swoop. However, just as he was about to step forward, the elder suddenly reached out and stopped him.
"Don't chase them for now," the elder said solemnly. "These people are just minions. What's really important is to continue tracking down the clues they left behind and find the mastermind behind them."
Lin Ze felt a little bit unwilling when he heard this, but he also understood that the elder was right. So, he suppressed his anger, stopped, and began to carefully observe the rune marks left by the men in black.
These runic symbols looked extremely mysterious, their intricate lines seeming to hold a profound meaning. Lin Ze decided not to miss any opportunity to uncover the secrets of this mysterious power. He studied the runes intently, determined to decipher their secrets.
Lin Ze looked at the runes carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more familiar they seemed to him. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that he had seen similar patterns in the ancient books of the sect.
According to ancient records, it is a long-lost evil magic mark, and those who cast it will bring endless disasters.
After Lin Ze told the elder about this astonishing discovery, the elder's face suddenly became extremely solemn, as if the whole world was weighing down on him. He stared at Lin Ze, his eyes revealing deep worry and uneasiness.
The two were silent for a moment, and the elder finally spoke: "The evil magic mastered by this mysterious force is probably more dangerous than we imagined." His voice was low and serious, revealing a sense of urgency that could not be ignored.
Lin Ze nodded, fully understanding the elder's concerns. This sorcery could not only kill instantly, but also leave such strange runes on the corpse. This was clearly not something that ordinary sorcery could achieve.
