"Hahaha, Crane Immortal, you've finally arrived. Today is the day of your doom!" The voice belonged to the black-robed figure. Crane Immortal was shocked, immediately raising his guard, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. Suddenly, a shadow darted across the rooftop, too fast to capture. "Chase!" Crane Immortal commanded, and the three of them immediately pursued the direction where the shadow disappeared. They sprinted down the town's streets, everything around them blurred. The shadow seemed to be deliberately luring them, always keeping a certain distance. After chasing for an unknown period, they arrived in front of a dilapidated temple. The shadow flashed and vanished into the temple. Crane Immortal stopped, looking at the temple before him, a strong sense of crisis surged within his heart. He whispered to Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue, "Be careful, there might be traps inside this temple." The three cautiously walked into the temple. The air was filled with a pungent stench, dust everywhere, cobwebs scattered. In the center stood a decrepit statue, its features blurred as if telling tales of time's erosion. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind howled through, causing the temple doors to bang against each other. Then, black runes appeared on the surrounding walls, flashing an eerie light, emitting a chilling aura. "Not good, it's a trap!" Crane Immortal's face changed, shouting loudly. As he spoke, the black runes suddenly lit up, beams of black energy shot out from the runes, attacking them. Crane Immortal's hands swiftly moved in a sealing gesture, a Spiritual Power Shield appeared before them, blocking the energy beams' attack. "Master, what is this?" Shen Jingqi asked nervously. Crane Immortal frowned, saying: "It's dark sorcery; it seems this traitor is aided by an expert. Everyone be cautious, this sorcery is tremendously powerful and must not be underestimated." At that moment, the black-robed figure slowly emerged from behind the statue, followed by several shadows, their faces indistinguishable, emanating an equally evil aura. The black-robed man looked at Crane Immortal, a smug smile on his face: "Crane Immortal, none of you will leave here alive today. This Evil Magic Array is inescapable, even for a god." Crane Immortal snorted coldly: "Traitor, do you think this can trap me? Who is supporting you, and why commit such atrocious acts?" The black-robed man laughed madly: "Crane Immortal, you don't need to know so much. All you need to know is today is your day of death. Once I kill you, then destroy this Spirit Mountain, the whole world will bow to me!" After speaking, he waved his hand, the shadows behind him rushed toward them. These shadows were incredibly fast, their movements strange and elusive. Crane Immortal, Shen Jingqi, and Lin Yue immediately stood back to back, bracing themselves. Crane Immortal's hands moved swiftly, launching streams of spiritual power at the shadows. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue also cast their magic, engaging fiercely with the shadows. During the battle, Crane Immortal noticed the shadows seemed to have a special connection, their attacks coordinated perfectly, and they seemed to possess endless power. Each attack carried a powerful evil aura, creating a heavy oppressive feeling. "We can't continue ; we must find a way to break this Evil Magic Array." Crane Immortal felt anxious. While fending off the shadows' attacks, he carefully observed the surrounding black runes. Suddenly, he noticed these runes seemed to follow a certain pattern, as if forming a giant Array Map. "Could the method to break it be hidden in these runes?" Crane Immortal wondered.

As he concentrated on the runes, a shadow suddenly broke through their defense, lunging at Crane Immortal. He reacted quickly, dodging the attack and countering the shadow, forcing it back. "Master, watch out!" Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue shouted. Crane Immortal ignored their warning, fully focusing on the runes. After careful observation, he finally found a critical rune, which seemed to have a special connection with the other runes, appearing to be the core of the entire array. "This is it!" Crane Immortal's eyes gleamed with excitement. Taking advantage of the shadows' attack pause, he dashed toward the critical rune. However, just as he was about to reach it, the black-robed man seemed to realize his intent, shouting: "Stop him!" Several shadows immediately rushed at Crane Immortal, trying to prevent him. He gritted his teeth, swiftly making a sealing gesture, releasing a powerful spiritual force that pushed the shadows back. Finally, he reached the critical rune. Taking a deep breath, he gathered all his spiritual power and struck the rune fiercely. "Boom!" A thunderous roar, the rune emitted dazzling light, making the entire temple tremble violently. The glow of the black runes gradually dimmed, and the black energy beams halted their attack. "No!" The black-robed man let out an angry roar, his eyes filled with fear and resentment. Crane Immortal seized the opportunity to counterattack, waving his hands to send a spiritual storm sweeping toward the black-robed man and the shadows. The shadows were blown away by the powerful force, dissipating into the air. Seeing the unfavorable situation, the black-robed man transformed into a black mist to escape. But Crane Immortal wouldn't let him go easily. He dashed forward, conjuring a spiritual chain which shot towards the black mist. The spiritual chain snaked around the black mist, forcing the black-robed man to reveal his true form. He fell heavily to the ground, eyes filled with despair. Crane Immortal approached him, speaking coldly: "Traitor, you cannot escape. Reveal who supports you, and perhaps I will spare your life." The black-robed man glared viciously at Crane Immortal, saying: "Stop dreaming, I won't tell you. Even if you kill me, someone will avenge me. Then, you all will die!" Crane Immortal frowned, realizing nothing useful would come from this traitor's mouth. As he hesitated on how to deal with the black-robed man, suddenly, a mysterious light descended from the sky, enveloping the black-robed man.
