The Battle of Magic in the Ancient Yunnan Cave (Final Chapter)
After Lin Yu and his companions successfully subdued the black-robed figure, the terrifying atmosphere within the cave dissipated as quickly as the tide. The once pervasive black mist, eerie flickering lights, and chilling roars vanished with the black-robed figure's fall, leaving only the faint scent of blood and damp earth lingering in the air. Sunlight struggled to penetrate the obstruction of the cave entrance, casting dappled shadows and bringing long-lost warmth and light to this cave, which had endured such peril.
Lin Yu stared at the black-robed figure lying on the ground, but he felt no trace of triumph. He knew this might not be the end of the matter. The "forbidden secret" the black-robed figure had spoken of still hung like a fog over his mind. "What exactly is this so-called secret? Why would he protect it at all costs, even harming innocent villagers?" Lin Yu pondered, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing deep worry.
Ouyang Zhenghao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, we subdued this guy. It was not easy. But Lin Yu, what exactly is the secret he mentioned? Should we look for more clues in this cave?" As Ouyang Zhenghao spoke, he glanced around vigilantly, as if the hidden secret would jump out of the darkness at any time.
Chen Yao crouched down and carefully examined the black-robed man's clothing and belongings, trying to find any clues. "We must look for them, and quickly. Since the black-robed man is guarding this secret with such painstaking care, it must be extremely important. If we don't handle it properly, we might cause even greater trouble." Chen Yao's voice was calm and steady, but her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety. She knew that time was running out, and they had to solve this mystery as quickly as possible.
At that moment, the unconscious black-robed figure let out a faint laugh. The sound was eerie and strange, echoing through the silent cave, sending shivers down one's spine. "You think... that subduing me will reveal the secret? You're naive... This secret will remain buried in darkness forever..." The black-robed figure slowly opened his eyes, a glint of resentment gleaming in them.
Lin Yu walked forward, squatted down, looked directly into the eyes of the man in black robe and said, "Don't be stubborn anymore. Isn't it enough that you have hurt so many people? Telling the secret may reduce your sins." Lin Yu's eyes were firm and serious, trying to catch a hint of relaxation from the expression of the man in black robe.
The man in black robe sneered, suddenly spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and said viciously: "You self-righteous guys have no idea what you are facing. Once this secret comes to light, the whole world will be doomed. I am protecting it to save the world, and you are destroying it all!" The man in black robe suddenly became agitated, and his eyes were full of madness.
Lin Yu's heart trembled. He sensed a complex mix of fear and a resolute sense of mission in the black-robed man's words. "You said you were protecting secrets to save the world? Then why resort to such cruel means? The villagers you harmed were so innocent?" Lin Yu tried to find flaws in the black-robed man's logic and unravel the hidden truth.
The black-robed man was silent for a moment, a flicker of struggle in his eyes. After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Never mind. I've already failed, so why not tell you all about it? Beneath this cave, sealed is an evil force that can distort time and space and manipulate the human mind. Back then, another wizard and I fought tooth and nail to seal it. Although I'm sealed here, I've always guarded it, preventing anyone from accidentally touching the seal and releasing this power." The black-robed man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he were telling an ancient and weighty story.
After hearing this, Chen Yao was shocked: "Distort time and space, control people's hearts? Such a powerful power, if it falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable. But why didn't you tell the villagers about this and keep them away from danger, instead of creating these terrorist incidents?" Chen Yao's eyes were full of confusion and anger. She could not understand the logic of the black-robed man's behavior.
The man in black robe smiled bitterly and said, "Tell the villagers? Will they understand? It will only cause greater panic. I created these terrorist incidents to scare away those who approached the cave, but I didn't expect... I still couldn't stop you." There was a hint of helplessness and despair in the man in black robe's tone.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said, "Even so, your method is wrong. What we need to know now is how to completely seal this evil force and ensure that it no longer harms the world." Lin Yu knew very well that the top priority was to resolve this potential threat, otherwise the world would never have peace.
The man in black robe glanced at Lin Yu and said slowly: "Deep in the cave, there is an ancient formation. Back then, the wizard and I used this formation to seal the evil forces. To seal it completely, we need to find five gems with special powers and inlay them in the five positions of the formation to reactivate the formation and strengthen the seal." As the man in black robe spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of hesitation, as if he was struggling with whether to tell Lin Yu and others this information.
Ouyang Zhenghao frowned and asked, "Where are these five gems? You must know, right?" Ouyang Zhenghao's eyes were full of anxiety. He hoped to find the gems as soon as possible, complete the seal, and end this terrible incident.
The man in black robe was silent for a while, then slowly said: "One of them is under the ancestral temple of the village. It was hidden there specifically to suppress the power of the seal. The other four are scattered in the mountains and are guarded by many mechanisms set up by me. However, even if you know the location, you may not be able to get the gems. Those mechanisms are extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces." There was a hint of gloating in the tone of the man in black robe, as if he was watching a farce that was doomed to fail.
