Chapter 736 Li Ji's Identity
"Well, see you tomorrow." Li Ji responded with a smile, his figure gradually blending into the night, leaving behind a series of firm footsteps.

"See you tomorrow." Su Ye waved gently and watched Li Ji leave. Then he turned to look at Qi Meng. There was a tacit understanding between the two that did not require words.

"Thanks to you along the way, Su Ye." Qi Meng's voice was warm and sincere. She looked into the distance, the stars dancing in her eyes, as if she had seen the future where they would fight side by side.

"Same here, Qi Meng." Su Ye chuckled. He felt an unprecedented fulfillment. "It's you who makes all this meaningful. No matter what happens tomorrow, we will face it together."

The two stood in silence, the campfire crackling as if cheering them on for the adventure they were about to embark on. In the night sky, a shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving behind a brief but brilliant trail.

"Look! A shooting star!" Qi Meng pointed to the sky in surprise, with childlike excitement flashing in her eyes.

Su Ye looked in the direction of her fingertips and silently made a wish: "May the light always illuminate our path, and may our journey bring more hope to this world."

"My wish is the same as yours." Qi Meng agreed softly, and their eyes met under the starlight. It seemed that at this moment, the entire universe had quieted down and only the other's breathing could be heard.

"Okay," Su Ye broke the silence and said with a smile, "For tomorrow, we all need to rest. Good night, Qi Meng, may your dreams be brighter than the stars."

"Good night, Su Ye." Qi Meng responded with a gentle smile, turned around and slowly walked into the night, leaving Su Ye with a back full of strength and determination.

As the two figures disappeared into their respective tents, the bonfire slowly went out, and everything seemed so quiet and peaceful under the starlight. But under this tranquility, an irresistible force was quietly gathering, foreshadowing that a war that would determine the fate of light and darkness was about to begin.

The night was deep and everything was silent, but in the tent of Su Ye and Qi Meng, their thoughts were surging like the tide. Su Ye was lying on a simple camp bed, playing with the hilt of his sword, thinking about tomorrow's schedule and the challenges he might encounter. And Qi Meng, even if she closed her eyes, dreamed of a battlefield where light and shadow intertwined. She seemed to see the three of them fighting side by side, dispelling the darkness and welcoming the dawn.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the camp, Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji were already ready to go. The villagers came out of their homes and gathered at the entrance of the village, watching them go.

"Look, it's those three warriors!" an old man with wrinkles on his face exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration, "I heard that they are going to the northern ice field to find allies to fight against darkness."

"It's unbelievable. They were just like us a few months ago, but now they have become our hope." A young woman nearby echoed, her child clinging to her clothes tightly, looking curiously at the team that was about to set off.

"Mom, I want to be a hero like them when I grow up!" The child's eyes were shining with dreams.

"Good child, as long as you have light in your heart and insist on justice, you can do it too." The woman bent down and stroked the child's head, her tone gentle yet firm.

As the team walked further away, the villagers' blessings still echoed in their ears. On the way to the northern ice field, Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji kept meeting pedestrians from other villages. They were either surprised or admired, and they stopped and talked about it.

"Look, that's Li Ji holding the Key of Shadow. I heard that he can control the power of light and shadow!" A traveling merchant stopped and exclaimed to his companion.

"And there is that female swordsman, Qi Meng. I heard that her dreams can foresee the future. It's incredible!" Another merchant interjected, his eyes full of envy.

Su Ye was another focus of everyone's attention. His determined eyes and sharp swordsmanship made people imagine his heroic figure on the battlefield. "General Su Ye, he is a legendary figure. I heard that the Heart of Light chose him. He will lead us to victory." An old man passing by murmured to himself, with tears of excitement in his eyes.

As their reputation spread, the team occasionally attracted like-minded people who voluntarily joined their ranks and strengthened this army of light.

Finally, after many twists and turns and tests, they arrived at the edge of the northern ice field. The wind was cold and the snowfield was vast, but not far away, there was a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

"Over there is the tribe that has an ancient magical heritage." Qi Meng pointed to a faintly glowing place in the distance, with obvious excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

"Be prepared, my friends." Su Ye's words were steady and powerful. He looked at Li Ji and Qi Meng. The eyes of the three conveyed an unspoken understanding and trust.

Just as they were about to step into this unknown territory, a figure slowly walked out from the ice field. It was an elder dressed in thick fur with mysterious totems carved on his face.

"Welcome, guests from afar." The elder's voice was deep and seemed to contain ancient wisdom. "I have been waiting here for a long time. Your arrival is destiny's arrangement."

Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji exchanged glances. They knew that this journey was entering a new stage, and they would find the key power to fight against the darkness here, or begin another unknown challenge.

"Excuse me, who are you...?" Su Ye asked politely, while being secretly alert in his heart. After all, in this snow-covered world, the unknown is always accompanied by danger.

The elder smiled, a smile full of warmth and tolerance: "I am a guardian and a guide. The answers you seek are hidden in the northern ice fields, but there is a price to pay."

"We are willing to bear any cost." Li Ji answered firmly, and the Shadow Key in his hand emitted a soft light, as if responding to his determination.

"Very good." The guardian nodded, then turned around and led them deeper into the tribe. "Let us get started. The balance between light and darkness is waiting for you to maintain."

The conversation ended in front of the tribe's gate. The group followed the guardian into this mysterious city of ice and snow. The cold wind outside the gate was still howling, as if foreshadowing that a bigger storm was brewing...

"This... is this really the human world?" A young traveler who had just entered the tribe couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. His eyes moved between the ice-carved and jade-built buildings, each of which seemed like a perfect combination of nature and magic.

"Be quiet, don't disturb the gods." An elderly woman reminded quietly, her eyes showing both awe and expectation, as if every outsider could find a spiritual home here.

"The legendary northern tribe actually exists." Su Ye whispered. He felt the powerful force in the surrounding environment. This power was pure and ancient, completely different from the darkness they were fighting. "Can we find the key person who can influence the situation?" Qi Meng asked softly. Her eyes followed the back of the guardian, and she was both expectant and nervous.

Li Ji had a calm expression, the Shadow Key in his hand was slightly warm, as if he sensed something: "My intuition tells me that the answer is just ahead."

As they went deeper into the tribe, the surrounding scenes became more and more shocking. Each of the huge ice sculptures was lifelike, as if silently telling an ancient story; and the tribesmen responded to them with gentle smiles and nods, and everyone's eyes revealed a kind of otherworldly tranquility.

"Look, what are those people over there doing?" Su Ye pointed to the side, where several children from the tribe were playing around a strange blue light. The light was not cold but warm, causing the children to burst into laughter.

"That is the fire of the soul, a unique blessing of our tribe." The guardian explained patiently, his voice was particularly clear in the cold air, "It symbolizes purity and hope, and you will soon experience its power."

The group continued to move forward and finally stopped in front of a magnificent ice palace. The guardian pushed open the heavy doors, and waves of melodious chanting came from inside, ethereal and sacred.

"Please come in. This is the next stop on your journey." The guardian made an inviting gesture and stepped aside.

Walking into the Ice Palace, the view suddenly opens up. In the center is a huge round ice platform, on which stands an old man in a long robe. His eyes are closed and his body is surrounded by circles of flowing light, which are the source of the chanting.

"Welcome to the sanctuary of the Far North, sons of light." The old man did not open his eyes, but his voice seemed to echo directly in their hearts. "Your arrival is the sound of the gears of fate turning."

"Excuse me, you are..." Su Ye took a step forward, speaking with respect.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be filled with stars and the sea, so deep and profound: "I am Eldar, the highest priest of the northern tribes, and the last person who can interpret the prophecy of light."

"Prophecy? Is it about the battle between light and darkness?" Qi Meng asked immediately, her heartbeat speeding up.

Elda nodded slightly: "That's right. The Heart of Light has chosen you as the key to this war. But I must remind you that the prophecy is not a certainty. Everything depends on your choice."

"So, what should we do?" Li Ji clenched the Shadow Key in his hand. He was ready to take on everything.

Elda raised his hand, and a beam of light shot into the three people's bodies. They felt a warm and powerful force surge into their hearts: "Go find the three holy objects in the Frozen Realm - the Time Mirror, the Seed of Hope, and the Key of Truth. They will lead you to victory, but you will also have to endure tests."

"We will find it." Su Ye answered firmly. Qi Meng and Li Ji also nodded. Their belief was stronger than ever before.

“Remember, true light lies not only in defeating darkness, but also in inner perseverance and harmony with the world.” Elda’s voice gradually faded away, and his figure slowly faded out with these words.

The three stood in the ice palace, looking into each other's eyes, the fire in their hearts seemed to be ignited and burning fiercely. They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but they were no longer afraid, because they knew that as long as there was light in their hearts, nothing was impossible.

"Let's go, friends." Su Ye was the first to break the silence, his tone full of determination, "No matter what the road ahead holds, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

"Together, until the end of the world." Qi Meng responded with a smile, her eyes flashing with determination and tenderness.

"And me," Li Ji's voice was steady and powerful, "whether in the depths of shadow or the peak of light, our swords will point to the darkness together."

The villagers and new partners gathered behind them, and everyone's face was filled with hope and determination for the future. As Su Ye, Qi Meng and Li Ji stepped out of the Ice Palace, the whole tribe seemed to be excited, and the ancient and mysterious ballads sounded again, echoing on the ice field, sending the most sincere blessings for their journey.

"Look, they are our hope!" A child held his mother's hand, pointing at the three people's receding backs, with longing in his eyes.

"May the light guide your path." An old man made the sign of the cross on his chest and prayed in a low voice.

Every step on the journey to find the holy relic seems extremely difficult. Crossing the frozen valley and facing the sudden blizzard, Su Ye leads the team through danger again and again with his keen intuition and extraordinary swordsmanship. Qi Meng uses her dreams at night to foresee fragments of the future and avoid potential crises. And Li Ji, using the power of the Shadow Key, not only provides assistance in battle, but also reveals hidden paths, allowing the team to move freely in the maze of the ice field.

"I have never seen such a united and strong team." A new soldier exclaimed, his tone full of admiration.

"Yes, with them around, the darkness will eventually retreat." Another companion echoed, his words revealing his infinite yearning for the future.

In an accident, they rescued a caravan trapped in an ice cave. The leader of the caravan was filled with gratitude: "We once thought that there was only despair in this cold land. But your appearance is like the North Star guiding lost people, giving us hope of life."

As the team grew larger, their reputation spread like wildfire. The villages along the way all opened their doors and welcomed them with the most sumptuous banquets. People spread the word and called them "messengers of light."

However, the journey was not smooth sailing. When they approached the location of the first holy relic, the Time Mirror, a huge shadow covered the sky, and a group of dark creatures descended from the sky, intending to stop them from moving forward.

"Prepare for battle!" Su Ye shouted, pointing the tip of his sword straight to the sky, his eyes burning with unquestionable determination.

The battle was fierce and brutal. Just as everyone was struggling to resist, a strange force erupted from Su Ye's sword. It was the response of the Heart of Light, which enveloped him in dazzling light and instantly repelled the dark creatures.

"This is..." Qi Meng was shocked but also proud. "Your power has surpassed our imagination."

"It's not just my strength," Su Ye turned around and looked at each of his companions, "it's the light in everyone's hearts that came together to create a miracle."
