The men in black surrounded Lin Yang, Chen Feng, and the group of cultivators, and the atmosphere instantly turned icy. The leader of the men in black had a cold look in his eyes. After scanning the crowd, his gaze landed on the spirit crystal in Lin Yang's hand, and he said greedily, "Hand over the spirit crystal, and we might spare your lives."

Lin Yang was secretly on guard, quickly considering a countermeasure. The enemy outnumbered them, and their leader was highly skilled; a direct confrontation was clearly unwise. He quietly said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen, find an opportunity later. Use talismans to create chaos, and we'll break through." Chen Feng nodded slightly, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Lin Yang spoke first, stalling for time: "Brother, we're all after cultivation resources, why be so ruthless? We can discuss it, I'll give you more spirit crystals." The man in black sneered: "Enough nonsense, hand it all over, or none of you will live!"

Just as the men in black were speaking, Chen Feng suddenly made a move, throwing several talismans into the group. The talismans exploded instantly, flashing brightly, and with the powerful impact, the group of men in black was thrown into chaos. Lin Yang shouted, "Run!" The group seized the opportunity to break through in one direction.

The men in black reacted quickly and gave chase. Lin Yang and the others fled desperately through the mountains and forests, with the men in black hot on their heels. Suddenly, a raging river appeared ahead, its rushing waters blocking their path.

"What do we do?" someone asked anxiously. Lin Yang looked at the rushing river and made a snap decision: "Jump in! Maybe we can escape them by going with the current." Without thinking twice, everyone jumped into the river. The icy water instantly submerged them, and they struggled desperately as the current carried them downstream.

The men in black chased the enemy to the riverbank, hesitated for a moment when they saw the rushing water. The leader of the men in black gritted his teeth and said, "Chase them! We can't let them get away." The men in black also jumped into the river.

In the river, Lin Yang clung tightly to a floating plank, feeling his strength gradually waning. Suddenly, he spotted a hidden cave ahead, partially submerged by the river. An idea struck Lin Yang; he swam towards the cave, signaling the others to follow.

After entering the cave, the group discovered a hidden world inside. It was dry and spacious, with some stones shimmering and emitting a faint spiritual energy. Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief; he knew they were safe for the time being.

However, before they could even rest, they heard shouts from outside the cave. Clearly, the men in black had discovered their presence inside. Lin Yang was anxious; he checked the space containing the fallen coins again, hoping to find a solution.

Suddenly, he noticed that the points of light in the space seemed to become active. A thought struck Lin Yang, and he tried to manipulate these points of light. Unexpectedly, they converged, forming a peculiar array rune. Following the method that appeared in his mind, Lin Yang arranged the array rune at the entrance of the cave.

No sooner had the setup been completed than the men in black rushed in. The moment they stepped into the cave, the formation activated instantly, beams of light shooting out and trapping them inside. The men in black panicked, struggling desperately, but unable to break free of the formation.

Looking at the trapped men in black, Lin Yang sighed inwardly, realizing that the Fallen Coins always proved useful in crucial moments. He and the others seized the opportunity to leave the cave and continue their journey. This crisis made Lin Yang understand even more clearly that survival in the cultivation world required not only strength but also the ability to utilize various opportunities and methods. His affinity with the Fallen Coins also increased with each crisis, and he believed that one day, he would be able to carve out his own niche in the cultivation world with their help.
