Chapter 751 Attack
"You have the talent to be a scout." Li Ji said approvingly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

The traveler blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment: "When I was a child, I always loved adventure, and observation was my pleasure."

"Then, let's work together to find the snake hiding in the dark." Su Ye's words were full of determination.

Just as they were immersed in the investigation, an urgent bell suddenly rang in the palace, and everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat. Su Ye and others immediately rushed to the source of the sound, only to see a maid running over in a panic, panting and saying, "Big, big things are not good, the treasury... the treasury has been stolen!"

Li Ji frowned and turned to Su Ye and said, "Treasure house? The protection measures there are the most stringent. How could it be possible..."

"Someone wants to distract us, or this is part of a bigger plan." Qimeng and Youying also hurried over and joined the discussion.

"No matter what, we have to go and take a look." Su Ye made a prompt decision, and the group rushed to the treasury. On the way, the people and staff in the palace were terrified and whispered. They had high hopes for the elemental messenger, but they were also full of worries.

"Look, those are the Sentinels of Light. They will protect us." A little girl pointed at them, her eyes full of admiration.

"Yeah, but even they are so busy, the situation must be very bad." The adult next to him sighed.

When they arrived at the treasury, the scene was even more chaotic than expected. Gold, silver and jewelry were scattered all over the floor, and the display case in the center was empty - the legendary "Heart of Light", the gem that symbolized royal power was gone!

"How could this happen?" The king rushed to the scene, his face pale and his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty, this is a carefully planned conspiracy to distract us." Su Ye analyzed in a deep voice, "But don't worry, we still have time."

Just as everyone was concentrating on thinking about countermeasures, a faint sound of wind caught Qi Meng's attention. She looked up suddenly and found that the phantom of the old owl appeared again in the night sky, with deep worry and warning in its eyes: "Children, the real danger is approaching quietly..."

As soon as the words fell, the image of the owl disappeared, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment, with uneasiness and urgency filling the air. The night deepened, and inside the palace, a race against time had just begun.

"We must unite all our forces and clean up the internal situation while not ignoring external threats." Su Ye said firmly, looking at his companions. The same determination flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Then let's take action." Qi Meng responded, her tone full of power.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Ye took one last look at the young traveler, his eyes full of trust: "Are you ready too?"

The traveler nodded heavily, his eyes gleaming with determination: "For the royal city, for the light, I am ready."

"Very good, then let us fight side by side." Su Ye's words were full of power, and an invisible cohesion spread among the team.

The group quickly split into two teams. On one side were Su Ye, Li Ji and the young traveler, who were responsible for strengthening the defenses inside and outside the palace and checking for any possible external threats. On the other side were Qi Meng and You Ying, whose goal was to uncover the internal clues of the conspiracy and find the shadow hiding in the light.

In the next few hours, the palace was shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of tension. Su Ye instructed the guards to set up more sophisticated traps and surveillance systems, while the young traveler discovered several security loopholes that were easily overlooked with his keen insight, which made Li Ji sigh that sometimes the perspective of an outsider can indeed bring new insights.

At the same time, Qi Meng and You Ying shuttled through the complex palace corridors. Every conversation they overheard and every figure who dodged in a hurry became clues for their pursuit. Finally, in a seemingly ordinary library, Qi Meng noticed a secret letter hidden behind a book she often read. The code and meeting place mentioned in the letter made them feel a chill in their hearts. The real enemy seemed to be just around the corner.

As the night deepened, a storm was brewing quietly under the surface of the palace. Just as the two teams were preparing to meet up and discuss the next plan, a burst of hurried footsteps and the guards' shouts broke the brief silence: "Elemental Messenger, there is movement in the direction of the treasury!"

Su Ye and Li Ji immediately led the team to the treasure house, while Qi Meng and You Ying decided to go to the meeting place mentioned in the letter first. At the fork in the road, the four of them exchanged glances briefly. No need to say more, the trust and support for each other was enough.

Su Ye rushed to the treasury and found that there were many guards gathered there, all of them looked alert, and there was an ominous atmosphere in the air. Just as everyone was puzzled, an experienced guard captain came forward and reported: "Sir, there was an unknown energy fluctuation just now, as if someone tried to use magic to open the restriction of the treasury, but was quickly bounced back by the powerful defensive barrier."

"Someone wants to test our defenses." Li Ji groaned, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, "It seems that they can't wait."

On the other side, in the dim alley, Qi Meng and You Ying found the meeting point. A cloaked figure paced back and forth under the dim light, looking particularly anxious. Just as Qi Meng was about to approach, the man suddenly turned around, with a gleam of light in his eyes: "Elemental Messenger? You are here as expected."

"Who are you?" Shadow asked vigilantly, his hands secretly gathering shadow energy.

The man smiled slightly and took off his cloak, revealing himself to be an ordinary court advisor he had seen before. He whispered, "Don't be nervous, I am a friend, not an enemy. I have been secretly supporting the king, and it is time to expose the true colors of some people."

An unexpected ally made the situation even more complicated. At the critical moment when the forces of all parties were surging undercurrents and light and shadow were intertwined, the sky of the royal city was suddenly pierced by a strange light. It was a power fluctuation that had never been seen before - the real enemy finally showed his fangs.

"It seems that the game has really begun." Qi Meng murmured to herself, with both determination and imperceptible worry in her eyes.

In another corner of the palace, Su Ye and Li Ji looked at each other, and they tacitly quickened their pace. The young traveler followed closely behind, and despite the fear of the unknown, his eyes became more determined.

"No matter how deep the darkness is, light will eventually come." Su Ye's voice echoed in the night sky, which was both an encouragement and a declaration.

As Su Ye, Li Ji and the young traveler rushed to the king's place, the stone road of the palace echoed with rapid and firm footsteps, and every step seemed to step on everyone's tense heartstrings. The guards of the palace gave way one after another, their expressions were tense and expectant, as if they saw the dawn of hope in these sentinels of light.

"There must be an insider behind this attack." Su Ye whispered, his eyes sharp as an eagle, quickly analyzing the situation, "We must act separately. You, Li Ji, take people to guard all exits to ensure that the murderer cannot escape; I will take this traveler straight to the king's bedroom to protect his safety."

Li Ji nodded, without any extra words, and turned to command a small team, which was quickly deployed at the key points of the palace. Su Ye and the young traveler were like two flashes of lightning, rushing through the intricate corridors towards the core area of ​​the palace. The atmosphere near the bedroom was extremely tense. An ominous breath lingered in the air, making people suffocate. Su Ye signaled the young traveler to stay alert, and the two approached silently, with every move being precisely calculated, trying not to disturb potential enemies.

Suddenly, a sharp metal collision broke the silence, and the door of the bedroom burst open. A man in black holding a dagger was about to attack the king lying on the bed. The king was pale and obviously frightened.

"Stop!" Su Ye shouted, and rushed forward like an arrow. The young traveler followed closely behind him, flexibly moving to the other side of the man in black, forming an encirclement.

The man in black paused when he heard the voice, then sneered: "Elemental Messenger, you came at the right time, saving me a lot of trouble."

"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate the king?" Su Ye asked, while paying close attention to every subtle movement of the other party to prevent him from doing anything desperate.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that the throne will soon change hands, and you will become the dust of history." The man in black spoke with sarcasm, but his words revealed an indescribable confidence.

"You wish!" The young traveler shouted angrily, and suddenly jumped forward, with a thin iron rod in his hand, and he went straight for the wrist of the man in black. This attack was as fast as lightning, catching the man off guard.

Although the man in black was very skilled, he gradually showed signs of defeat under the attack of the two. Just as Su Ye was about to capture the assassin in one fell swoop, he suddenly heard rapid footsteps and fighting sounds outside the palace. The situation seemed to be far more complicated than expected.

"Oh no, there's an ambush!" Su Ye's heart sank, realizing that the enemy was well prepared and had set up a tight net.

"Let's split up. You protect the king, and I'll go support Li Ji." The young traveler proposed decisively, with a fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

Su Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, knowing that the king's safety must be the priority at this moment. He escorted the king to a safe corner, told the young traveler to be careful, and silently prayed in his heart that everything would go well.

The young traveler went into the battlefield alone, facing wave after wave of shadow assassins. He used his keen perception of the environment and his agility to escape danger time and time again, demonstrating bravery and wisdom beyond his age.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a bright light flashed in from the window. It was Qi Meng and You Ying. Their timely arrival brought a turning point to the battlefield. The four of them worked together to gradually force the assassin into a desperate situation.

Just when everything seemed to be settled, a dark shadow quietly approached Su Ye and the king in the chaos. Just as the dark shadow raised the dagger, ready to give Su Ye a fatal blow, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "I can't let you succeed!"

It was the young traveler. He had gotten rid of the fight at some point and appeared beside Su Ye like a ghost. He grabbed the black shadow's wrist and blocked his attack.

"You are really good at this." Su Ye smiled at the young traveler, feeling very pleased.

"Of course, we are companions of the Sentinel of Light." The young traveler responded with a bright smile, and at this moment, there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between them.

The battle finally came to an end, and the moonlight shone through the window, casting a shadow on the exhausted but still standing figure. It was so quiet that only the breathing of the other party and the footsteps of the guards gradually gathered in the distance could be heard.

"Now, it's our turn to uncover the truth behind it all." Qi Meng's voice was calm and firm, breaking the silence.

"That's right, no matter who is behind this, we will pursue him to the end." Su Ye responded firmly, his eyes penetrating the night, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"But before that, we still have a mystery to solve." Shadow reminded, his eyes locked on the previously arrested man in black. His face was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. "Tell me, who are your accomplices? What is your real purpose?"

The man in black smiled disdainfully, "Even if I tell you, it will only increase your despair."

"Give it a try?" The young traveler took a step forward and tapped his palm lightly with the iron rod, making a crisp sound and revealing a threat that could not be ignored.

At this moment, a guard came running over and reported breathlessly: "Report... Report, a secret passage was found over there in the treasury, leading to the outside of the royal city!"

Everyone's faces turned grim upon hearing this. Su Ye made a quick decision, "Li Ji, you take some people to block that passage, and the rest continue to clean up the remaining gang members. The three of us are going to pry more information out of this person."

As Li Ji left, the atmosphere became more solemn. Qi Meng approached the man in black and said in a cold voice, "Last chance, who is behind you?"

The man in black stopped laughing. He seemed to be weighing something. Finally, he spoke in a low and suggestive voice: "The truth... is hidden in the deepest shadow beneath the light. If you want to find the answer, you have to follow the hands that are always controlling you in secret."

After saying these inexplicable words, the man in black suddenly went limp and committed suicide, leaving everyone with an unsolved mystery.

"What is he talking about..." The young traveler frowned, obviously puzzled by this sudden suicide.

"No matter what, let's do as he said and look for the 'controlling hand' in the royal city." Su Ye pondered for a moment and made a decision.

So, the four of them split up and began to conduct a detailed search in the palace, questioning those seemingly insignificant servants and attendants, trying to catch any clues from their mouths.

An old gardener who was trimming the flowers in the garden inadvertently revealed to Qi Meng: "I sometimes see some people who are dressed in ordinary clothes but behave in extraordinary ways, quietly entering and leaving the Queen's private study..."

In the kitchen, a busy cook whispered to Su Ye, "There are always strange food requests recently, and the orders are all given directly by the maids around the queen."
