Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Lily quickly chanted a few complex spells and hooked out several transparent shields in midair to try to block the attacks. Unfortunately, the power of these beams was far beyond expectations, and soon several of them broke through the defenses and rushed straight towards the three people.

"Wow!" Lily cried out in pain after a shallow mark was left on her shoulder. On the other side, Lin Feng, who was concentrating on dealing with the enemy's sneak attack, gritted his teeth and fought with him. "This is not a solution... We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible!" He thought anxiously.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Chen Le, who had been silent and focused on maintaining the balance of his newly acquired power, suddenly raised his head, his eyes clearer than ever before: "Maybe there are other solutions..."

As he said this, he suddenly jumped into the air and threw the sword in his hand with all his might - the Star-Shining Sword cut through the air with a brilliant tail flame and went straight towards the Ancient True God who had just appeared in a corner of the hall to watch the battle!

"How dare you! How dare you challenge someone as noble as me!?" The latter shouted angrily while reaching out one hand to easily grab the oncoming weapon and crush it to pieces...

But just when everyone thought the situation was irreversible, a miracle happened: as the long sword turned into fragments all over the sky, it did not completely dissipate, but instead quickly reassembled into a more dazzling form as if it had its own consciousness - and this time it was no longer a simple entity but an existence condensed by pure light! !

At the same time, Chen Le, who had sensed the change, also had his eyes light up, and his aura soared to the extreme! He opened his mouth and uttered four words again, which made the entire space seem to freeze for a moment:
"Star Resonance!"

As these four words came out, all the surrounding light gathered to one point and exploded, forming a dazzling beam of light that directly pierced through the target's chest...

The severely injured True God's body was obviously stagnant for a few seconds, but he soon regained his composure: "Hmm? Interesting. It seems that I underestimated you kids." His tone was still calm, but it obviously lost some of the contempt he had at the beginning. "But next, you have to show your real skills..."

Faced with such a change, everyone felt unprecedented pressure, but they knew that only by uniting together could they overcome difficulties and meet challenges. "No matter what the result is, at least we have tried our best!" This is the common belief in everyone's heart.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense again, a slight but clearly audible sound of footsteps broke the silence. Looking back, I found that it was Shadow Night Blade who had been hiding and silent just now, slowly walking out of the dark corner and heading towards the direction of the True God...

"It's you..." After noticing the unusual change in his aura, the ancient god narrowed his eyes and looked at this man whose origin was unknown but who was also full of secrets and asked. "What are your plans?"

"Heh..." With a subtle arc on his lips and a wicked smile, the latter raised his hands and spread his palms outward to make a 'please' gesture: "It's very simple... that is - let's start the final game!!"

Just as everyone was on high alert, a cold and eerie voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall: "Hey, Master Ancient True God, are you still wasting your time on these ignorant brats?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure slowly emerged from one side of the hall. It was an old woman in a black robe with white hair. Her face was thin and twisted, and her eyes were flashing with greed and evil. "Long time no see, my old friend."

"Karina" the True God's expression changed slightly, "So it's you."

Karina laughed triumphantly, her eyes sweeping over Lin Feng, Lily, and Chen Le: "It seems I came at the right time. Little heroes, you really have a hard time."

Lin Feng tightly grasped his sword and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The old witch laughed loudly: "I am a demon witch from ancient times, specializing in dark magic. As for why I am here, of course it is to collect precious materials needed to make medicine. And you are the best medicine."

Lily frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you think we will let you capture us obediently? Don't dream!"

After that, she quickly cast a powerful spell, erecting a solid energy barrier in front of everyone.

However, Karina did not back down, but waved the wooden stick in her hand slightly. Suddenly, several black tentacles stretched out from the ground and attacked the energy barrier frantically. "You dare to challenge me, a mere child? Let me show you my true power!"

Facing this sudden crisis, Lin Feng shouted, "Everyone be careful!" and rushed forward, trying to stop these shadow creatures that kept spreading out. At the same time, Chen Le was not idle either. The Star Sword turned into light and shadow, flying in the air looking for opportunities to counterattack.

At this moment, a blinding red light shot down from the sky, hitting a huge tentacle that was about to wrap around Lily's feet, instantly burning it to ashes. "Thank you." She raised her head and cast a grateful look at Chen Le.

But the good times didn't last long. Those monsters seemed endless, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't completely eliminate them.

Just when the three were in trouble, they suddenly heard a roar from behind: "Hmph! Everyone, get back!" Turning back, they saw that it was Ying Ye Ren, who had remained silent before, who finally took action!

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and then waved them gently. Countless tiny but extremely sharp silver needles shot out from the air, pointing directly at the roots of those ugly tentacles, cutting them off in an instant, solving the problem at hand.

"What should we do now?" Although the enemy was temporarily repelled, Lin Feng still did not let down his guard, "We must find a way to deal with that old witch!"

Seeing this, Karina was not in a hurry and sneered, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that we need to show some real strength." As she spoke, her body gradually floated in the air, and a thicker dark aura lingered around her. "Let me welcome you with the most terrifying existence in the world - the demon summoning ritual!"

As the words fell, the air inside and outside the palace began to become unusually heavy. Countless strange eyes appeared in the originally dark space, and each eye was filled with an infinite desire for blood and souls.
"No! We must stop her!" Seeing the situation around him gradually deteriorating out of control, Chen Le said hurriedly: "Only by combining all our strength can we have a chance to defeat her, otherwise we will all be doomed!"

The three nodded in agreement and made their own preparations. Even Shadow Nightblade, who usually acted alone, joined them.
Karina chanted the spell faster and faster, and the temperature around her dropped rapidly. "It's too late. We can only fight to the death!" Lily whispered.

Then, she raised the crystal ball in her hand, which had been ready for a long time, and released a dazzling light to illuminate the entire space. At the same time, Lin Feng's sword condensed with majestic true energy, and Chen Le's star glowed with dazzling brilliance.
And when everyone thought that the ultimate showdown was about to come, something unexpected happened: Karina, who was supposed to have completed the summoning, suddenly fell down holding her chest in pain, spitting out a large amount of black blood from her mouth... "What's going on? Could it be..." A gleam of brilliance flashed in Ying Yeren's eyes, and he immediately understood something.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard the old witch say with some reluctance: "Damn it! How could my heart be poisoned at this time? Who did it..."

No one responded to her words, just quietly waiting for any changes that might happen next.
As everyone was watching the development of the situation with bated breath, a masked woman walked out from a hidden corner not far away. She broke the silence with a calm voice: "It was me who did it. I'm sorry for not telling you guys in advance...but this is what I had to do."

Lin Feng was extremely surprised when he heard this: "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

The woman slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face. The corners of her mouth were smiling, but there was an unnoticeable sadness: "I am a special envoy from afar. As for the reason, I will explain everything to you when the time comes. But what is more important now is that we still have a lot of things to do."

After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared like a phantom.
Everyone looked at each other. Although they were still full of doubts, they also knew that now was not the best time to ask too many details.
Chen Le looked at the remaining companions: "Let's go, there are still many mysteries waiting for us to uncover."

They stepped out of the crumbling palace and headed towards the unknown...

"What will happen next? No matter what, as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything!" Lily clenched her fists firmly, with an unprecedented determination on her face.

At this moment, in a distant place, the mysterious woman is silently watching all this happen.
As soon as Lin Feng, Chen Le and Lily stepped out of the hall, they felt an inexplicable aura approaching rapidly. They stopped in their tracks and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a little girl's voice broke the silence: "Don't worry, it's me." A figure slowly appeared in their sight - a little girl in white clothes and a bamboo hat. Although her face could not be seen clearly, her clear and pure voice made people feel an inexplicable sense of trust.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked first, "Why are you here?"

The little girl took off her hat, revealing clear eyes and a calm face. "My name is Yueying, and I'm a guardian." Her tone was calm but firm, "My mission is to protect important souls and ensure that they can successfully complete their missions."

Lily frowned slightly: "But shouldn't we be the ones to protect ourselves now? We don't need anyone else's protection."

Yueying smiled, with a hint of gentleness in her eyes: "You are indeed very powerful, but sometimes strength is not only reflected in combat. In this world, everyone has his or her own mission, and you also need allies. Now, please follow me, there is a place that can help you solve your current troubles."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Chen Le nodded in agreement: "Okay, we believe you. Let's go!"

Following the moon's shadow through a dense forest, they came to a mysterious temple hidden in a cave. This was obviously a place protected by ancient magic, and the air was filled with a faint light, giving people a sense of security.

"This place..." Lily looked around and exclaimed, "Where on earth is this? Why is it so secret?"

Yueying explained: "This is a place that has been kept secret by successive guardians since ancient times. Only those with a truly pure heart can enter. Here we can temporarily avoid Karina's eyes and ears, and find a way to deal with her evil plan."

Lin Feng asked doubtfully: "Then can you tell us how to defeat Karina? She seems to have a very strong dark power."

Xiao Yueying walked to a stone tablet in the center of the hall and stopped. She turned around and faced everyone and said seriously: "To defeat her, we must awaken the powerful beast sleeping deep in this palace. But awakening it is not easy. It requires four people with hearts of specific attributes to recite the spell at the same time to stimulate resonance."

"Then how is this specific attribute heart defined?" Chen Le couldn't help but ask curiously.

The little girl sighed softly and replied: "Light and justice, courage and perseverance, wisdom and calmness, and the purest kindness... these are the energy sources necessary to activate the sacred beast." Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. It was obvious that everyone was thinking about which spiritual quality they represented.

"Okay, let's get started!" Lin Feng took the lead in breaking the deadlock, raising the sword in his hand and pointing it to the sky, "As a warrior, I am willing to be the one with courage and perseverance! No matter how difficult the journey ahead is!"

Then, Chen Le was not to be outdone: "Then let my star shine to illuminate the way forward, and let wisdom guide the direction!"

Lily looked at the determined eyes of her two companions, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "In this case, let me and my crystal ball bring light and hope to the team! No matter how difficult it is, I believe it will eventually pass!"

Finally it was Shadow Nightblade's turn. He hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Although I'm not used to this kind of teamwork... but if it can really help everyone get through this difficult time, it wouldn't hurt to use my own 'special emotions'."

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Yueying smiled and nodded to everyone: "Okay, let's start the ceremony now."

As the four people sat around the stone tablet, they closed their eyes and chanted the ancient rune syllables in unison. A strong light gradually spread from underground, so dazzling that it seemed that even the surrounding darkness could not bear it...

When the last spell ended, a golden light suddenly shot up into the sky! Then the ground began to shake violently, and soon a huge creature broke out of the ground. It was covered with gorgeous feathers and its eyes were shining with deep starlight. The legendary phoenix, the god of hope and victory, appeared! (End of this chapter)
