After Lin Feng was injured and taken back to the sect for treatment, the entire sect seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze. The disciples' faces lost their past ease and laughter, replaced by tension and anxiety. The patrolling disciples looked solemn, and their eyes vigilantly scanned every corner of the sect.

The head of the sect knew the seriousness of the crisis and urgently ordered to strengthen patrols and alerts. He personally directed the deployment of defenses and added spell prohibitions and traps at key locations in the sect to ensure the safety of the sect. At the same time, he quickly summoned several core elders and Lin Feng, Su Yao and others to a quiet and solemn meeting room to discuss strategies to deal with this sudden crisis.

In the meeting room, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed to drip water. Everyone sat around a huge sandalwood table, and the candlelight on the table swayed in the breeze, reflecting everyone's serious face.

The headmaster was the first to break the silence. He turned his eyes to Lin Feng, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Lin Feng, did you find anything special when you fought with those mysterious people? Any subtle clues may become the key to our solving the mystery."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and tried to recall the fierce and bloody battle. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Headmaster, those people's spells are indeed very strange. The spells they cast are not the common elemental spells we often see, nor are they traditional spells, but a kind of spell full of dark aura and twisted power. Every attack carries a kind of malice that corrodes people's hearts, as if to devour people's souls. Moreover, the tacit understanding between them is amazing. The actions are orderly and the advances and retreats are well-founded, just like an elite army that has undergone years of rigorous training, and is definitely not an ordinary mob."

Su Yao sat aside, He nodded gently, and continued Lin Feng's words: "When I was treating the injured disciples, I also made a disturbing discovery. The injuries they suffered were similar to those caused by ordinary spells on the surface, but when I explored them in depth, I found that there was a dark force lurking in the wound. This force is like a group of greedy ants, constantly eroding the tissues and spiritual power around the wound, making treatment extremely difficult. I tried a variety of conventional healing spells and pills, but the effect was minimal."

An elder couldn't help but touch his gray beard and fell into deep thought when he heard this. After a long time, he slowly spoke with a hint of worry in his voice: "Master, everyone, in my opinion, could it be the legendary Shadow Sect? It is said that they are good at dark spells, their whereabouts are secretive, and they have always tried to rule the world of cultivation. Their existence is like a poisonous snake in the shadow, ready to give the opponent a fatal blow at any time."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the four words "Shadow Sect". This name represents endless fear and evil in the legend of the world of cultivation, and it is an existence that makes people shudder.

The headmaster stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly. His eyes were deep and worried, as if he was thinking about an extremely complicated puzzle. "If it is really the Shadow Sect, then this matter is indeed very serious. They have been silent for many years, and now they suddenly appear and point their spearhead at our sect. There must be an ulterior motive behind it. We must find out their true purpose and detailed action plan as soon as possible, otherwise, we will always be in a passive situation of being beaten."

A ray of determination flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said: "Headmaster, I am willing to lead some disciples to investigate their details in depth. Even if it is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, I will not retreat."

The headmaster looked at Lin Feng's resolute expression and nodded slightly, but at the same time he also reminded: "Lin Feng, your courage is commendable, but you must act carefully. Don't expose yourself because of a momentary impulse, and don't alarm the enemy. This investigation must be cautious and cautious."

Lin Feng solemnly responded to the headmaster's instructions, then turned and left the meeting room, and began to carefully select disciples to go to the investigation together. He knew the danger of this mission, so he selected disciples who were strong, smart, brave and loyal to the sect.

At the same time, Su Yao plunged into her pharmacy and study. She put the dark power samples collected from the wounds of the injured disciples in various magic tools and instruments for analysis and research. Her desk was piled with ancient magic books and notes. She read them day and night, trying to find a way to restrain this dark power from those yellowed papers.

Lin Feng led the selected disciples and left the sect quietly. They were wearing light night clothes and carrying various magic weapons for concealing breath and self-defense. Along the way, they tried to avoid the crowd and possible eyes, and followed the direction where the mysterious man appeared, not letting go of any clues.

In the process of tracking, they came to a seemingly ordinary forest. However, after careful observation, some strange traces were found. There were some mysterious symbols painted with black paint on the ground. These symbols were twisted and complex, exuding a faint dark breath. The surrounding trees also showed an abnormal withering state, with leaves withered and yellow, and black spots on the trunks, as if they were corroded by an evil force.

"Brother Lin, this looks very strange, is there any trap?" A young disciple looked at these strange phenomena and couldn't help but feel a little scared, and asked worriedly.

Lin Feng observed the surroundings vigilantly, holding the long sword in his hand tightly, and whispered: "Be careful, don't disperse. Stay alert and pay attention to any possible movements."

Everyone continued to move forward cautiously. As they went deeper into the forest, the atmosphere became more eerie and terrifying. The branches swayed in the wind and made a creaking sound, like the whispers of the devil.

Continuing forward, they came to a remote valley. A thin layer of fog filled the valley. The fog was like a white veil, making it difficult to see the road ahead and the surrounding environment.

"Everyone, be careful, there may be danger here." Lin Feng reminded the disciples behind him again, his voice was very low.

At this moment, a burst of eerie laughter suddenly came from deep in the valley. The laughter seemed to come from the Nine Nether Abyss, full of ridicule and malice.

"Haha, you actually dare to chase me here. You are really asking for death!" The voice echoed in the valley, hitting the stone wall, producing a series of creepy echoes.

Lin Feng shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why are you attacking our sect? How can you be a hero if you hide your head and show your tail!"

However, no one answered his question, only the sinister laughter kept coming, echoing in the mist, disturbing people's minds. Suddenly, a group of black shadows rushed out of the mist at extremely fast speeds and were in front of Lin Feng and the others in an instant.

Lin Feng and others quickly fought, and the two sides instantly started a fierce battle. The strength of these black shadows is no less than that of the mysterious people encountered before. Their movements are as agile as ghosts, and their spell attacks are even more cunning and vicious. Moreover, in this foggy environment, their figures appeared and disappeared, and their actions became more bizarre and unpredictable, making it difficult for Lin Feng and others to guard against them.

Lin Feng waved his long sword vigorously to resist the attack of the black shadow, while observing the surrounding environment with keen eyes, trying to find the enemy's flaws. Due to a moment of negligence, a disciple was accidentally hit by the black shadow's spell. He screamed and fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Lin Feng shouted and quickly flew over to support. He cast his strongest spell, and a ray of light flashed, repelling the black shadow that besieged the disciple.

After a arduous battle, Lin Feng and the others finally repelled these black shadows with their strong will and superb martial arts. But they did not dare to stay in this dangerous place for a long time, so they quickly organized their team and left the valley.

After returning to the sect, Lin Feng ignored the need to rest and immediately went to the meeting hall and informed the leader and other elders of what he saw and heard in detail.

"It seems that the enemy we face is more powerful and mysterious than imagined. They plan carefully and plan step by step. We must be fully prepared." After listening to Lin Feng's report, the leader said worriedly.

On the other side, Su Yao also made some important discoveries in the process of studying the dark power. Her eyes were bloodshot, but she could not hide her excitement.

"I found that this dark power seems to be related to an ancient forbidden technique. This forbidden technique has been lost for many years. If we cannot find a way to crack it, we will be very passive in the battle. But I already have some preliminary ideas. Further experiments and verification are needed," Su Yao said eagerly.

The sect is facing an unprecedented crisis, and everyone is racking their brains to find a way to deal with it. But they all know in their hearts that this will be a tough battle and they need to unite as one and go all out...
