Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

Chapter 153 Sword Light and Shadow

At this moment, a deeper, more terrifying voice echoed in the air: "Guardian, do you think you can defeat me like this? Our battle has just begun..."

As the voice echoed, the mysterious space that was originally shrouded in the light of the Spirit Source Stone suddenly trembled violently, as if it could collapse at any time.

"Not good! The man in black robe is trying to break the space barrier by force!" The guardian's voice sounded in everyone's ears, with a hint of anxiety that was hard to conceal.

Upon hearing this, the Five Immortals Pavilion disciples' expressions suddenly changed. They hadn't expected the black-robed figure to be so powerful that he could even shake the space created by the Guardian with the Spiritual Source Stone.

"Everyone be careful and prepare for the counterattack of the man in black robe!" The guardian shouted loudly, while the spiritual power in his body surged wildly, trying to reinforce the mysterious space.

However, the black-robed figure's power clearly exceeded everyone's expectations. With a deafening roar, the mysterious space finally collapsed, unable to withstand the black-robed figure's onslaught.

In an instant, strong light and terrifying air waves swept out from the collapsed space, blowing away everyone on the battlefield.

When everyone finally managed to steady themselves and looked towards the center of the battlefield again, they saw that the man in black robes and the guardian had reappeared and were confronting each other from a distance.

The Spirit Source Stone was quietly floating above the black-robed man's head, emitting a dazzling light, as if it was engaged in some kind of contest with the black-robed man.

"Guardian, you can't stop me!" said the man in black robe with a sneer, his tone full of confidence.

The guardian's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the man in black robes, and he said in a deep voice: "As long as I am alive, I will never let you succeed!"

"Hmph, stubborn!" The man in black robe snorted coldly, then his figure flashed and turned into a black shadow and pounced towards the guardian.

Seeing this, the guardian did not dare to be careless and quickly swung the sword in his hand to meet the attack.

In an instant, sword shadows flew everywhere, and the lights and shadows of swords intertwined together, making a deafening roar.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion used their skills to approach the battlefield, ready to support the guardians at any time.

However, just as they were about to approach the battlefield, the man in black robe suddenly stopped and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Oh no, it's a trap!" The guardian was startled and tried to retreat quickly.

But unfortunately, it was too late. The black-robed man quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and then suddenly shouted: "Explode!"

As the shout came out, the Spirit Source Stone suddenly burst out with an unprecedentedly strong light, and then exploded with a loud bang.

Powerful energy fluctuations instantly swept across the entire battlefield, submerging everyone.

When the light faded and everyone finally broke free from the aftermath of the energy, they saw that the center of the battlefield had become a mess, and the figures of the black-robed man and the guardian had disappeared.

"Guardian!" The disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion exclaimed in surprise, their faces full of worry.

They didn't expect that the man in black robe was so cunning and used the Spirit Source Stone to self-destruct to get rid of the guardian's entanglement.

At this moment, the guardian didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

At this moment, a weak voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears: "I'm fine... Everyone be careful, the man in black robes hasn't left!"

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and saw the guardian staggering out of the ruins, his face as pale as paper, obviously seriously injured.

Just as the guardian finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly passed over everyone's heads and headed straight for the guardian.

"Be careful!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted, then swung the Lingguang Fairy Sword and slashed towards the black shadow.

However, the black-robed man was so fast that the Jin Ling Xianxia's sword only cut a shadow.

"Hmph, you overestimate your abilities!" The voice of the man in black robe echoed in the air, and then his figure appeared behind the guardian again, raising his hand and slapping him with a palm.

The palm wind was like a knife, slashing towards the guardian's back with a sharp gust of wind.

The guardian was already at the end of his strength and was completely unable to withstand this attack.

At this critical moment, a green figure suddenly appeared in front of the guardian, quickly forming seals with both hands, and then shouted: "Wood Guardian!"

As the shout rang out, a green light shield instantly enveloped the guardian and the green figure.

The palm wind from the man in black robe struck the light shield fiercely, but it only caused ripples and failed to break the light shield.

"Fairy Shuirou, thank you so much!" The guardian said gratefully, looking at the green figure in front of him.

Fairy Shuirou smiled slightly and said, "The Guardian is the guardian of the immortal path, so we naturally cannot stand idly by."

Seeing that his attack missed, the black-robed man's expression changed slightly, and then he said coldly: "Hmph, I'll let you go today, but don't think you can escape my pursuit just like that!"

After saying that, the black-robed man flashed again and turned into a black shadow and fled into the distance.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Upon seeing this, Jin Ling Xian Xia hurriedly activated the Lingguang Xian Sword and chased after him.

Upon seeing this, the other disciples of the Five Immortals Pavilion also used their skills to chase in the direction the black-robed man fled.

However, the black-robed man was so fast that even though Jin Ling Xianxia and others tried their best to catch up with him, they could only barely see his back.

In this way, everyone chased all the way, and chased for thousands of miles before finally losing the trace of the man in black robe.

"Damn it, he got away!" Jin Lingxianxia stopped and looked at the empty wilderness in front of him and said hatefully.

The other disciples were also furious when they heard this. They hadn't expected the black-robed man to be so cunning, using the Spirit Source Stone's self-detonation to break free from their entanglement, and then using his speed advantage to escape their pursuit.

"Forget it, let's go back first." The guardian also caught up at this time, looked at everyone's tired expressions, and began to persuade them.

Upon hearing this, although everyone was unwilling, they also knew that it would be futile to continue chasing, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

So, everyone returned the same way and returned to the Five Immortals Pavilion.

After returning to the Five Immortals Pavilion, everyone immediately reported to the Pavilion Master the reappearance of the black-robed man and the injury of the guardian.

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master's expression suddenly grew serious. He hadn't expected the black-robed man to be so cunning as to reappear just as the Immortal Path Conference was about to begin.

"How is the guardian's injury?" the Pavilion Master asked everyone.

"The injury is serious, but fortunately it is not life-threatening." The guardian said, his voice sounding a little weak.

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice, "The appearance of the black-robed man means that the Immortal Path will face another crisis. We must prepare for it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Pavilion Master!" Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the Pavilion Master began to arrange for everyone to work together and prepare for the upcoming crisis.

The guardian was arranged to recuperate in the back mountain of Wuxian Pavilion.

Time passed quickly, and several days went by in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few days, the entire Five Immortals Pavilion has been busy preparing to deal with the black-robed man. The Guardian, under everyone's care, has gradually recovered from his injuries.

On this day, the guardian finally came out from the place where he was recuperating in the back mountain and came to the main hall of the Five Immortals Pavilion.

"Guardian, how is your injury?" The Pavilion Master asked hurriedly when he saw the Guardian coming.

"It's all fine now." The Guardian smiled slightly, then his expression turned serious. "Pavilion Master, we must find the black-robed man's hiding place as soon as possible, otherwise if he attacks again, the consequences will be disastrous."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master frowned slightly and said, "The man in black robes acts in a secretive way. It will be difficult to find his hiding place."

"But we must do our best," the Guardian said firmly. "Also, I have a feeling the black-robed man's appearance this time seems to have some ulterior motive."

"Oh? Why do you think so?" The Pavilion Master asked curiously.

"I can't explain it clearly. It's just a hunch." The Guardian shook his head and then changed the subject. "However, we can look for some clues from the black-robed man's previous behavior."

"Are you talking about the incident in which the black-robed man stole the Spirit Source Stone?" A gleam of light flashed in the Pavilion Master's eyes when he heard this.

"That's right." The Guardian nodded. "The man in black robes went to such great lengths to seize the Spirit Source Stone. He must have a purpose. As the most precious treasure on the immortal path, the Spirit Source Stone's power is incomparable to ordinary treasures. If the man in black robes wants to utilize the power of the Spirit Source Stone, he must have a certain time and place to do so."

"Therefore, we can infer that the man in black robe must be hiding in some secret place at this moment, preparing to use the power of the Spirit Source Stone to do something." The guardian continued.

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master's eyes gleamed. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Your analysis makes sense. We must quickly find the black-robed man's hiding place and disrupt his plans."

"Yes, Pavilion Master!" The guardian nodded firmly upon hearing this.

Afterwards, the Pavilion Master began to arrange personnel to search for the black-robed man in various places on the Immortal Path.

The guardian personally led an elite team to investigate the place where the black-robed man had previously stolen the Spirit Source Stone.

A few days later, the team led by the guardian finally arrived at the desolate place where the black-robed man had previously robbed the Spirit Source Stone.

Looking at the desolate scene before him, the Guardian couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart. He could sense that there was an indescribable weirdness and danger hidden here.

"Everyone be careful, something is wrong here." The guardian warned.

When everyone heard this, their expressions became serious and they looked around cautiously.

At this moment, a slight sound of breaking wind suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

The guardian's eyes flashed, and he quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to stop and listen attentively.

A moment later, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the ruins in front and rushed towards everyone.

"Be careful!" the guardian shouted, then flashed and rushed forward.

The black shadow was moving so fast that even the guardian could only barely see its shape.

Fortunately, the guardian was powerful, and even in a hurry, he was able to fight the black shadow to a standstill.

When the others saw this, they quickly mobilized their spiritual power and attacked the black shadow.

For a moment, sword shadows were flying on the battlefield, and the lights and shadows of swords were intertwined...
