Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

A warm force enveloped the few people, making them feel full of strength. Zhao Yunlong and Li Feng's attack became more fierce, and Lin Feng also protected Xueqi and the oil lamp more vigorously.

The enemy obviously did not expect reinforcements to arrive, and their formation was thrown into disarray. As several enemies fell, the rest also began to disperse.

Finally, the last enemy was stabbed in the vitals by Li Feng's long sword, and the battle was completely over. The battlefield fell silent, with only slight gasps echoing in the air.

"Thank you for your help, Master Su." Lin Feng said gratefully and handed her some dry food.

Su Yu shook her head gently and smiled, "It's just a small favor. I can feel your strong sense of mission, and I also want to make some contribution to this world."

"Let's act together." Xueqi said weakly but firmly, "It's always good to have one more companion."

The four of them packed up and set off again. This time with Su Yu joining them, they were obviously in a much more relaxed mood.

"The sacred mountain is ahead." Zhao Yunlong said, pointing to the vaguely visible mountain range ahead.

"Then, let's go." Li Feng said excitedly, "No matter how difficult it is, we must complete the mission."

Everyone nodded and set out on their journey again, moving forward towards the first rays of sunshine in the morning.

"We will definitely find it, right?" Li Feng said softly.

"Of course we will find it." Zhao Yunlong responded firmly, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will overcome it together."

"Yeah." Lin Feng looked at Xueqi and smiled gently.

Xueqi's eyes were equally determined. Although her body was still weak, her heart was extremely strong.

The night was as dark as ink, and the wind was biting cold. Lin Feng, Xue Qi, Zhao Yunlong, and Li Feng had been walking for nearly an hour, but the Lingshan Mountain still seemed out of reach. Their steps began to become heavy, and everyone's heart was covered with a shadow of anxiety.

Suddenly, a chilling howl broke through the night sky, the sound was low and threatening. Several people immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.

"It's a demon!" Zhao Yunlong shouted in a low voice, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

The oil lamp in Lin Feng's hand suddenly lit up with a strong light, illuminating the darkness ahead. "Prepare for battle!" His tone was firm and calm.

Not far away, a huge demon gradually emerged from the darkness. It was as big as a hill, its eyes flashed with a faint green light, and its mouth dripped with fishy saliva. Every step it took made the earth tremble slightly.

"Damn it." Li Feng gritted his teeth, drew out his sword, and was ready to attack.

Su Yu also stood beside the crowd, and the tip of her staff emitted a soft white light, "I will do my best to provide shelter for everyone."

Xueqi clenched the short knife in her hand. Although she was still weak, the determination in her eyes could not be ignored. "Let's fight together!"

"Don't let it get close to us," Zhao Yunlong said in a deep voice, holding two swords in his hands, ready to attack.

The demon seemed to sense the threat, and with a roar, it rushed towards the four people. As the ground shook, a fishy smell came over them, making them feel extremely sick.

Lin Feng held up the oil lamp, and the powerful light swept away the surrounding darkness. The sudden light seemed to hurt the demon's eyes, and it suddenly stopped and let out a sharp roar.

Zhao Yunlong saw the opportunity and acted quickly. He was as agile as a rabbit and instantly reached the side of the demon. His two swords slashed down as fast as lightning, but only left tiny marks on the thick scales.

"This guy's defense is too strong!" Zhao Yunlong took a few steps back and gasped.

Li Feng was not to be outdone, he leaped into the air at lightning speed and swung his sword at the demon's head. However, the demon was obviously no mediocre, he dodged flexibly and slapped Li Feng with his palm.

Li Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He forced himself to change direction in mid-air to avoid the fatal blow, but he also fell heavily to the ground and felt a little dizzy for a while.

Xueqi immediately rushed forward to stand in front of him upon seeing this, "I'll protect you!" she shouted loudly, and stabbed the demon's claws with her dagger.

However, the difference in strength was too great. Xueqi was blown away by the huge force and hit a tree hard.

"Xueqi!" Lin Feng exclaimed, his eyes full of anxiety and heartache. He no longer hesitated and rushed directly towards the demon. Under his guidance, the light from the oil lamp turned into a dazzling blade of light, which fiercely cut the demon's body. But even so, the demon was only slightly injured and not fatally hit.

Just as the situation gradually reached a stalemate, Su Yu whispered a spell, and the light on the top of her staff suddenly became more dazzling. A barrier made of pure energy completely surrounded the few people, "This is a barrier, it can temporarily stop that guy for a moment."

"Let's get out of here now!" Zhao Yunlong said decisively.

The four of them did not dare to hesitate any longer. They supported each other and quickly evacuated the battlefield, leaving only the injured but angry demon trapped in the barrier created by Su Yu.

After running all the way, they finally came to a relatively safe cave to rest. Xueqi leaned against the stone wall and panted lightly, her face pale; Li Feng was checking his injuries; while Zhao Yunlong and Lin Feng were watching outside vigilantly to prevent any accidents.

Su Yu walked over to everyone and sat down. "Although we are out of danger for the time being, we cannot relax. The demon may continue to track us..."

"No matter what, we have to keep moving forward," Lin Feng looked up at everyone, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must not give up on finding the Nine-Colored Lotus!"

Xueqi nodded with effort, "Well... I believe that as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

Li Feng patted the dirt on his legs and said, "That's right! We still have to rush to Lingshan. This little thing won't bother us!"

Zhao Yunlong showed a rare smile, "Good job, then let's proceed according to the original plan."

So the four of them calmed themselves down again and headed firmly towards their next destination on this cold night - Lingshan, a place full of unknowns and hope.

"We must find it, right?" Li Feng turned and looked at Zhao Yunlong and asked.

Zhao Yunlong nodded, "Of course we will find it. No matter how difficult the future is, we will face it together." At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the night was as dark as ink and the wind was cold. After a night of arduous journey, Lin Feng, Xueqi, Zhao Yunlong, Li Feng and Su Yu finally arrived at the foot of the legendary Lingshan Mountain. The atmosphere here was extremely tense, and the air was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

"Look over there!" Zhao Yunlong reminded in a low voice, pointing to a ruin not far away. Some ancient building remains could be vaguely seen on the ruins, which looked particularly deep and strange under the moonlight. There were cultivators rushing there all the time, and it was obvious that this ruin had attracted the attention of many people.

"Is this the legendary ruins?" Li Feng frowned, "Why are there so many people?"

"The secrets hidden under the sacred mountain have attracted countless people to explore." Su Yu explained softly, "There may be precious treasures or secret manuals hidden in it."

When they were about to head to the ruins, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "You guys, stop!"

The four looked back and saw several cultivators in black slowly approaching. The leader had a sinister smile on his face and greed in his eyes.

"Hand over your things, and perhaps you can live a little longer." The man in black laughed, the long knife in his hand flashing a cold light.

Zhao Yunlong sneered, holding two swords in his hands: "How dare you come and rob us? You don't know whether you live or die!"

Li Feng also drew out his sword, stared at the opponent, and was ready to fight at any time. "In that case, don't blame us for being merciless!"

Although Xueqi was still weak, she held the dagger tightly in her hand and stood firmly beside her companions. "I won't give up easily!"

The top of Su Yu's staff emitted a soft light again: "I will do my best to protect everyone."

The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and then a fierce battle broke out. The black-clothed men attacked fiercely, but Lin Feng and his group cooperated tacitly. Zhao Yunlong was as fast as the wind, and every attack could stir up a bloody rain among the enemy group; Li Feng used a desperate move, swinging his sword at the enemy with infinite power, and no one could stop him wherever he went; Su Yu cast a powerful spell, and protective barriers appeared in time for those who needed help; Xue Qi roamed the battlefield flexibly, looking for the right opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so powerful..." The leader of the men in black said gritting his teeth, and the long sword in his hand suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Zhao Yunlong.

Zhao Yunlong quickly dodged to the side and slashed at his wrist with his backhand. With a scream, the opponent's weapon flew out of his hand.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the surrounding cultivators stopped fighting and looked towards the ruins. The ruins, which had been calm and ordinary, suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which gradually expanded and formed a huge light gate!

"The ruins are open!" someone shouted, and then everyone rushed towards the light, trying to be the first to enter and explore the secrets.

In the chaos, the men in black saw that the situation was not right and fled the scene. "Forget it this time, but we haven't settled our scores yet!" After leaving such a threat, they disappeared into the night.

"What should we do now?" Li Feng asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"No matter what, now that we're here, let's go in and take a look." Zhao Yunlong said with a firm gaze as he looked at the spectacular scene ahead.

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, the Nine-Colored Lotus is waiting for us inside!"

"But..." Su Yu said with a little worry, "Those people just went in, I don't know what will happen..."

Xueqi clenched her fists tightly: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome! I believe a miracle is waiting for us."

The few of them took a deep breath and stepped into the light gate with firm steps. As the light gradually faded, they found themselves in a completely different space. The air here was even heavier, as if even breathing had become difficult. Surrounding them were towering stone walls, with ancient carved patterns looming in the dimness.

"Where exactly is this place?" Li Feng looked around vigilantly, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

Su Yu gently waved the staff, and a faint light emanated from the tip, barely illuminating the surrounding environment. "This is a sealed space, and I can't feel the breath of the outside world."

"It seems we can only move forward." Zhao Yunlong said softly and took the lead.

Everyone followed Zhao Yunlong and walked in front of him for a while. Suddenly, a piercing roar was heard and the ground began to shake. Xueqi's face changed, "Something is coming!"

Almost at the moment she finished speaking, several huge black monsters leaped out from the darkness. Their spiky bodies flashed coldly in the moonlight, and their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty madness.

"Get ready for battle!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. Under his guidance, the light from the oil lamp once again condensed into a dazzling blade of light, slashing towards the monster in front.

Zhao Yunlong's two swords flew, each of them aimed directly at the vital points, and his agility allowed him to move between the monsters with ease. Li Feng was not to be outdone, and each swing of his sword was as powerful as a tidal wave, with a powerful impact that even knocked nearby monsters away.

Su Yu quickly chanted a spell, forming a solid protective barrier around everyone. Although he could not attack directly, he provided great support and protection for his companions.

"I'll cover you!" Xueqi gritted her teeth and insisted, slashing at the approaching enemy with the short knife in her hand. Even though her injuries had not healed, her movements were still firm and powerful.

After a fierce battle lasted for a while, the monsters' offensive finally weakened, but their numbers did not decrease. Just when everyone felt a little tired, Su Yu suddenly shouted: "Quickly retreat in that direction! I found some clues!"

The four of them reacted immediately and followed her instructions to run to one side. Soon they came to a hidden path, and saw a dilapidated stone tablet standing in front of them, engraved with ancient words.

Su Yu stared at the runes and slowly read out their contents: "This place contains treasures of the ancient gods, and there are also many dangers to stop the greedy. Only those with pure hearts can pass through unimpeded."

"So this is a trial ground?" Zhao Yunlong raised his eyebrows.

Li Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded: "Well, no matter what, since we are here, we must get what we want before leaving."

Lin Feng was silent for a moment before speaking, "We must keep moving forward no matter what. The Nine-Colored Lotus is extremely important to us."

Xueqi panted slightly and nodded, "I believe we can do it."

Just as everyone was preparing to embark on a new journey, the ground began to shake violently again. This time the feeling was much stronger than before, and even the air seemed to be shaking.

A deafening voice came from afar, "The intrusion of mortals cannot be tolerated, you must pay the price for it!" (End of this chapter)
