Chapter 1105
Let's go investigate together
Yang Ling silently responded, and the two quickly left the dangerous forest, flying towards the sect.
On their journey, they encountered a young woman dressed in white. She held a silver longsword and exuded a faint aura of ethereal beauty.
"Are you also here to investigate the anomalies in this forest?" the woman in white asked curiously, her eyes gleaming with intelligence.
"Yes," Yang Ling replied, then asked with a hint of doubt, "You too?"
The woman in white smiled slightly and nodded: "I am a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, named Ye Lingxue. Our sect has also noticed the anomalies in this forest, so we sent me here to investigate."
"I see." Long Xuan nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Ye Lingxue of the Heavenly Sword Sect is indeed worthy of her reputation."
Ye Lingxue smiled calmly: "Let's return to the sect as soon as possible, report the situation, and then make further plans."
Yang Ling and Long Xuan nodded at the same time, and the three of them quickly flew towards the sect.
Upon returning to the sect, Yang Ling and Long Xuan gave a detailed report of their experiences in the forest to the sect leader and elders. The sect leader frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It seems that the power in that forest is indeed extraordinary. We need more experts to go and investigate."
An elder nodded and said in a deep voice, "We can invite experts from major sects such as the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Divine Firmament Pavilion to join us. This will make our forces even stronger."
The sect leader nodded in agreement: "It's settled then. We'll immediately send people to invite experts from all the major sects to go to that mysterious forest together."
Soon after, experts from various sects gathered together. They were all top figures in the cultivation world, each radiating powerful auras of immortal energy.
"Everyone, we have come here to explore that mysterious Dark Forest," Yang Ling said in a deep voice as he stood before the group. "Many unknown forces are hidden in that forest, and we must be careful."
Ye Lingxue continued, "We have already encountered a powerful expert named Jin Yan, whose strength is extremely great. We have also encountered another mysterious guardian named Zi Xiao."
A master from Shenxiao Pavilion frowned and asked, "Then how should we deal with these powerful individuals?"
Yang Ling answered firmly, "We need to unite and cooperate with each other to survive in this dangerous forest. Only in this way can we uncover the secrets of that forest."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they quickly formed a powerful team, heading towards the mysterious dark forest.
Upon entering the forest, Yang Ling and Long Xuan led everyone forward cautiously, each person vigilantly watching their surroundings. Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, followed by a huge monster charging out from the depths of the forest, its eyes flashing with ferocity.
"Everyone be careful!" Yang Ling shouted a warning, and quickly swung his immortal sword, a sharp sword light rushing straight towards the demon beast.
The demonic beast roared and swiftly dodged, but was still struck by the sword light, letting out a painful howl. Ye Lingxue followed closely behind, her silver longsword gleaming coldly as she thrust it straight at the demonic beast's vitals.
Other experts also joined the fray, unleashing their magical techniques and treasures upon the demon beast, finally bringing it to its knees.
"It seems the monsters in this forest are not simple either," an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect said with a frown, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Yang Ling nodded: "We must be more careful, otherwise we may fall into even greater danger."
As they continued their journey, the group encountered various monsters and traps, but they overcame these crises one by one thanks to their strength and tacit cooperation.
Finally, they arrived at an ancient ruin deep within the forest. A heavy aura of darkness permeated the ruins, and the air was thick with oppression and fear. "This is the core area of the forest," Long Xuan said softly, a hint of tension flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the ruins: "You cultivators from the cultivation world dare to trespass here. You are simply overestimating yourselves."
Everyone quickly turned their heads and saw a man dressed in a black robe slowly walk out. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he held a jet-black longsword in his hand.
"Who are you?" Yang Ling asked warily, gripping the immortal sword tightly in his hand.
The man in black robes smiled coldly: "I am the guardian of the Lord of Darkness. You may call me Black Nether."
"The Lord of Darkness?" Ye Lingxue asked, her mind filled with doubt.
Hei Ming sneered, "The Lord of Darkness is the true master of this forest. His power is beyond your imagination. You cultivators from the cultivation world are nothing but his playthings."
Yang Ling gripped his immortal sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "No matter what your schemes are, we will not let you succeed."
Hei Ming chuckled coldly, his figure blurred, and he instantly appeared in front of Yang Ling, his jet-black longsword thrusting straight at Yang Ling's chest.
Yang Ling hurriedly dodged, but Hei Ming's speed was too fast. He could only barely avoid vital points, and a deep wound was still left on his body.
Ye Lingxue and Long Xuan acted swiftly, their immortal swords flashing simultaneously, a sharp sword light hurtling towards Hei Ming. However, Hei Ming merely smiled coldly, lightly waving his jet-black longsword to shatter their attack.
"You cultivators from the cultivation world are no match for me at all," Hei Ming said coldly, his eyes flashing with disdain.
Yang Ling gritted his teeth, quickly adjusted his posture, and prepared to fight again. But just then, a low rumble suddenly came from the depths of the ruins.
Everyone was startled; they knew that such a commotion could not have been caused by ordinary force.
"Not good, a more powerful being is approaching!" Yang Ling shouted a warning, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Hei Ming sneered, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes: "You cultivators from the cultivation world would better leave quickly, or you will bear the consequences."
Yang Ling and Long Xuan exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with hesitation. They knew that facing a powerful figure like Hei Ming, a direct confrontation was far from a wise move.
"We must retreat!" Yang Ling shouted, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Ye Lingxue and Long Xuan nodded simultaneously. They quickly adjusted their formation and prepared to retreat. But just as they were about to leave, a low roar came from the depths of the ruins again.
Everyone was startled, knowing that such a commotion could not have been made by an ordinary demon beast.
"Not good, a more powerful being is approaching!" Yang Ling shouted a warning, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Hei Ming sneered, his eyes flashing with disdain: "You cultivators from the cultivation world dare to trespass here? You're simply overestimating yourselves." (End of Chapter)
