"What exactly is that?" Everyone looked up at the strange sight.
"Could it be..."
Let's prepare anyway!
A mysterious light tore through the dark, cloud-covered sky, illuminating the battlefield. As the light gradually faded, a figure emerged from it—Lin Xiaomeng's father, the legendary "Heaven-Shattering Sword" Ye Wuji!
"Father!" Lin Xiaomeng exclaimed, her eyes slightly reddening, then nodded firmly.

The onlookers erupted in uproar again, whispering amongst themselves:
"What? This little girl is actually the daughter of the 'Heaven-Breaking Sword'?"
"My goodness! No wonder he's so amazing... his family has such a deep-rooted academic background."
"It seems like this is going to be quite a show today; so many experts have suddenly appeared."
The man in black robes sneered, "Hmph, I didn't expect you to make it this far." Ye Wuji stared coldly at the man before him, his longsword trembling slightly, clearly poised to strike: "I should have known all of this was your doing, Lord Mo You."
"Oh, so you know everything about me? Then let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!" No sooner had he spoken than Mo You's figure flashed and disappeared, appearing amidst the crowd the next second to launch an attack. However, at that moment, Xiao Yang, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, suddenly unleashed unprecedented energy: "Everyone, quickly spread out! My master and I will hold him off!" Immediately afterward, this usually taciturn young man brandished his weapon and began to entangle with his opponent.
The onlookers were even more shocked by what they saw:
"When did this guy become so strong?"
"I really didn't realize... I thought he was just a minor character."
"This is amazing! It's even more exciting than reading a novel!"
Meanwhile, Zhang Aotian and his group quickly formed a protective circle around their comrades, constantly searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Just as the battle reached its climax, Li Siming, who had been quietly observing the changing situation, suddenly changed his expression. "Found him!" he shouted. Then, he leaped into the air as if riding on a cloud, launching a surprise attack from behind enemy lines. "Everyone, follow me! We can't give him a chance to breathe!"
Cheers and shouts of support immediately erupted from the crowd.
"That's it, keep it up, young man!"
"Yes, everyone, let's go together!"
"We support you!"
Feeling the immense pressure from behind, Mo You abruptly turned to try and counter the sudden attack; but almost simultaneously, Lin Xiaomeng seized the opportunity to join the fray, and the three of them combined their strength to force their opponent to temporarily halt their movements. Just as everyone held their breath, Princess Lia, who had been watching from a distance without intervening, slowly spoke: "It seems the time has come..."
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Wait, is she talking about that...?"
"They're not really going to use that kind of move, are they?"
"No matter what, we stand together to face all of this!"
Just as Leah was gathering her strength to unleash her most powerful skill, a strange sound came from afar, causing the earth to tremble. Immediately afterward, an even more terrifying aura began to permeate the entire battlefield…
"Something's wrong! There's a new situation over there! What is it?" Xiao Yang asked anxiously as he turned around.
Mo You used this moment to recover and took the opportunity to escape. "Hehehe... Looks like today was quite interesting~ But the game is far from over... See you next time." As he finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared into the darkness.
What remained was devastation and a crowd of bewildered people...
At this moment, Lia withdrew the power she had just gathered and sighed softly, "Let's deal with this first." The strange fluctuation she had just experienced became a new mystery that urgently needed to be explored.

Chapter 1157 The Duties That Must Be Fulfilled
“Let’s go,” Zhao De said to his daughter beside him, sheathing his sword. “We need to find out the truth.”
"Yes, Father, you're right!" Lin Xiaomeng replied firmly, her eyes revealing boundless longing and anticipation...
The crowd erupted in excitement once more, filled with anticipation for what was about to happen.
"This is so exciting!"
"Where will they go next?"
"No matter what, you have to stick with them to the very end!"
As Zhao De announced their imminent departure, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense yet filled with anticipation. Lin Xiaomeng followed closely behind, her eyes brimming with curiosity and determination about the unknown. The onlookers, meanwhile, were completely captivated by this sudden turn of events.
"Wait! You can't just leave like this!" A young man who looked quite young, but whose eyes shone with determination, suddenly rushed forward. "I... I want to go with you too!" These words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.
"Wow, which young man is so brave?"
"Yeah, yeah, but they seem pretty good...maybe they can be of some help."
Li Siming gently patted the new volunteer on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
The young man straightened his chest and answered without fear: "My name is Zhao De. My master was once a well-known figure in the martial arts world, so I learned some kung fu from him."
Zhao De nodded. "In that case, let's act together." Although his demeanor appeared calm, he had already made some considerations in his mind. "But please remember, there may be many dangerous situations in the coming days; if you're willing to join, you'd better be fully prepared."
Hearing this, Zhao De became even more determined in his initial thought: "No matter what challenges await us ahead, I will not back down even a step!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Yang was reporting the changes in the battle situation to Zhang Aotian. "Captain, although we've temporarily repelled the enemy, this ominous aura seems to be intensifying. We must find the source and destroy it as soon as possible." He frowned as he looked at the crowd gradually gathering around them. "Moreover, I think we can no longer hide this situation. It would be best to let everyone know the truth and get as much help as possible..."
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Aotian agreed, "That's right. After all, the strength of just a few of us is simply insufficient to counter the threat posed by that powerful being." He then turned to the civilians who were observing the situation and spoke in a calm yet urgent manner, "Friends, please allow me to tell you the truth in the simplest terms: Currently, an extremely dangerous and unidentified energy fluctuation is approaching this area, and it is very likely to pose a great threat to our safety… Therefore, we hope to receive the help and support of every warrior present to jointly resist this potential crisis!"
There was an initial silence in the crowd; but after a brief pause, an unprecedentedly unified cheer and response erupted:
"Great! We support you!"
"Yes, yes, protecting this city is everyone's responsibility!"

Chapter 1158 A Heart-Pounding Deterrent
"Even the smallest, most insignificant person can become part of the force that changes the world! Keep it up, guys!"
Amidst this enthusiastic atmosphere, a new expedition team, led by Lin Xiaomeng's father, embarked on a journey to investigate the location of the unknown energy source...
Several hours later, when they arrived at the place where the anomalous aura was said to have first appeared, they discovered a shocking sight—the once vibrant forest had been transformed into a desolate ruin, upon which stood an enormous black palace-like building.
"My God... when did this thing appear?" Zhao De stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable sight before him.
"It's just like a dream... Could it be that the mysterious expert we encountered before is really related to this place?" Li Siming was obviously also pondering the possibility in his mind.
"We have to go inside and see what's going on, no matter what, right?" Xiao Yang said without hesitation, expressing his true thoughts.
Thus, the group embarked on a journey into the dark depths to find the answers; and along the way, a series of strange events made the entire exploration increasingly complex and unpredictable...
Just as everyone was gradually venturing deeper into the area, strange voices suddenly rang out from all directions: "Intruders... those who dare to trespass on the sacred grounds of the temple will pay a heavy price..." The voices were deep and carried a chilling, intimidating power.
"Who goes there! Show yourself!" Zhao De, holding his longsword, vigilantly looked around for the other party's hiding place.
"Wait, something seems off..." Lin Xiaomeng vaguely sensed unusual traces of magic floating in the air.
"Is another fight going to break out...?" Zhao De muttered to himself, clenching his fists in preparation for any eventuality.
As these conversations and reactions unfolded, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense...
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling ray of light shone down from above, illuminating the entire space; when vision returned to normal, everyone gasped – for what appeared before them was a woman dressed in ancient attire with a noble and dignified appearance, and a pale blue halo emanated from her back.
"Are you the true owner of this land?" Zhao De broke the silence first.
"Hmph, ignorant humans are nothing to worry about; but I am very curious how you learned this secret and what your purpose is..."
"Please let me explain... Actually..." After biting her lip, Lin Xiaomeng mustered her courage and took a step forward, attempting to find a peaceful solution to the problem.
Is this mysterious priestess friend or foe? What secrets does her so-called 'true master' hold? All will be revealed gradually during this adventure…
In this tense standoff, the priestess narrowed her eyes slightly: "It seems you are not ordinary people, nor are you simply intruders. Tell me, what is your true purpose? If your reasons are sufficient, perhaps I can offer some assistance."
"We are investigating a massive conspiracy that concerns not only our personal fates but also the safety of the entire continent," Lin Xiaomeng replied earnestly, her gaze resolute.
"Is that so... In that case, please follow me." The priestess turned and slowly walked into the depths of the hall.
As the group followed them deeper into the crypt, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier, as if foreshadowing countless mysteries yet to be solved...

Just then, a voice broke the silence: "Wait a minute, I have a question." It was Zhao De's voice, always able to ask the most crucial questions at critical moments, "If this conspiracy is really that big, why did this priestess agree to help so easily? Could there be something else going on?"
Zhao De glanced at Zhao De, then said to the priestess, "We hope you can give us an explanation for this question."
The priestess stopped and slowly turned to look at the group of outsiders. "There is indeed a reason. The power behind this conspiracy has already touched this sacred land that I am protecting."
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the priestess, eager to know more details.
The priestess took a deep breath and slowly said, "The balance of this land has been broken by some unknown force. Originally, this was a secluded place, protected by a powerful barrier. But now, this force is not only eroding the outside world, but has also begun to invade this place. As the guardian of this sacred land, I naturally cannot sit idly by."
Zhao De nodded thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "So, the enemy we're facing is indeed very powerful..."
Lin Xiaomeng clenched her fists, looked at Zhao De with a determined gaze, and asked, "Then what should we do? What should we do next?"
"We must find out the source of this force as soon as possible and find a solution," Zhao De said in a deep voice.
