Chapter 753 Royal Palace
"I really hope they can succeed. It's been a long time since we had such a heroic story in the palace." Her companion responded in a low voice, with a tone of both anticipation and helplessness.

In a dim alley, the young traveler and the shadow looked at each other, and the latter's deep voice broke the silence: "Let's go, every step may be the key to uncovering the darkness."

"That's right. For the queen and for the peace of this land, nothing can stop us." The young traveler tightened the weapon in his hand, with an undying faith flashing in his eyes.

As their figures disappeared into the night, the wind outside the palace seemed to carry a certain firmness and expectation. All the unknowns and challenges were waiting for the Sentinels of Light to conquer.

The queen coughed lightly, trying to steady her breath, and said to Su Ye: "Please be careful, the people of the Shadow Council are cunning, they will not let us find the clues to the antidote easily."

"Understood, Queen." Su Ye bowed deeply, then turned around and led Qi Meng to rush towards the pharmacy in the palace. They knew that time was running out, and any delay could make the Queen's condition worse.

On the other side, the young traveler and Shadow went deeper into the secret passage. The passage was dark and winding, and the echo of dripping water came from the stone walls on both sides from time to time, which seemed particularly cold. The young traveler lowered his voice and said, "Shadow, do you think this pursuit can directly find the lair of the 'Shadow Council'?"

Phantom's eyes were like torches, and he said coldly: "It's hard to say, but the clues they left behind are too obvious. Either they are too confident in their own strength, or they set a trap."

As they were talking, they came to the end of the passage, and a faint light appeared behind a hidden door. When they opened the door, the scene in front of them startled them: this was not a hiding place, but a busy underground laboratory, with various potion bottles reflecting a strange luster under the candlelight.

"It looks like we've found where the antidote is made." The young traveler whispered, clenching the iron rod in his hand.

Just as they were about to investigate further, a burst of hurried footsteps approached from the shadows. Several men in black came out with swords in hand, and the leader sneered, "I didn't expect you to find us so soon. But you came just in time, saving us from having to trouble you, the Sentinels of Light."

A fierce battle was inevitable. Amidst the flashes of swords and sabers, the young traveler and the shadow cooperated tacitly, attacking and defending, and gradually advancing. During the interval of the battle, the young traveler asked loudly: "Why? What exactly does the 'Shadow Council' want?"

The man sneered, "Power. Pure power. You sentinels of light are standing in our way. You must be eliminated."

The battle continued to escalate. Just as the young traveler was repelling the opponent with a stick, the shadow keenly noticed something strange behind a medicine shelf. He approached quietly and found a bottle of potion with a blurred label that was out of tune with the surrounding environment. He was moved and whispered to the young traveler: "I found something that might be the antidote. We have to retreat."

Upon hearing this, the young traveler quickly eliminated the remaining enemies and evacuated with Shadow. They returned along the same route, feeling both nervous about the unknown antidote and excited about the truth that was about to be revealed.

Meanwhile, Su Ye and Qi Meng consulted ancient books in the pharmacy and finally found a partial formula for the antidote in a dusty manuscript, but the key ingredient was still missing. Just as they were distressed, a young pharmacist approached quietly and whispered, "I overheard some discussions about the 'Shadow Council'. They seem to have a laboratory underground, which may hold the answers you need."

After getting this clue, Su Ye and Qi Meng took action immediately, with a sense of urgency and a hint of relief in their hearts. They knew that meeting up with the young traveler and his friends would only take them one step closer to uncovering the truth.

As the night deepened, the two teams met outside the Queen's bedroom, and they shared their respective discoveries. The young traveler showed the potion in his hand, and Su Ye told about the clues of the pharmacist and what they had found in the ancient books.

The queen gazed at the two hopes and spoke slowly: "Two Sentinels of Light, your performance is beyond my imagination. Now, let us uncover this final mystery together."

Under the queen's instructions, the court pharmacist quickly analyzed the bottle of mysterious potion and combined it with the information found by Su Ye and Qi Meng. After an overnight effort, he finally prepared an antidote.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto the queen's gradually regaining color on her face, a long-lost hope and joy filled the palace. The queen held the young traveler's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, it is you who let the light illuminate this land again."

"Queen, our mission is to protect the peace and justice of this land." The young traveler answered sincerely, "But the battle is far from over. As long as the Shadow Council is not eliminated, there will be no peace."

"You are right." The queen nodded, her eyes firm. "We must seize the opportunity to pursue the enemy and not give them any chance to breathe. Su Ye, you lead the Sentinels of Light and, based on the newly acquired intelligence, go straight to Huanglong and capture all the core members of the 'Shadow Council' in one fell swoop."

"Yes, Queen." Su Ye responded, and turned to his companions and said, "Everyone, get ready. We will set off immediately. Young travelers, shadows, we need your acumen and strength. Act with us."

"We've been ready for a long time." The young traveler and the shadow smiled at each other, their eyes full of determination to fight side by side.

An elite team quickly assembled in the palace. Su Ye, the young traveler, Youying and Qimeng, as well as several elite guards, quietly left the palace in the morning light and headed towards the laboratory hidden in the shadows of the city.

Along the way, everyone remained highly alert, as every movement on the street could indicate potential danger. Su Ye walked in the front, his eyes scanning every corner. Experience told him that the closer he got to the truth, the greater the challenge he faced.

"We are not far from our destination." Shadow whispered. He seemed to be able to smell the conspiracy in the air.

The entrance to the laboratory was hidden behind an abandoned market. It looked dilapidated and blended in with the surroundings. If one did not have accurate information, it would be hard to imagine that this was the base of the Shadow Council. Su Ye signaled everyone to stop, and after carefully observing the surroundings, they cautiously approached the entrance disguised as a warehouse door.

The door was gently pushed open, and it was dark inside. Su Ye took out a torch and lit it, and the secrets of the room gradually came to light - various complex instruments, strange potions, and densely packed plans hanging on the wall, all silently telling the secret deeds of the "Shadow Council".

"Search separately to find their core members." Su Ye said in a low voice, and everyone dispersed to explore on their own.

Soon, the young traveler found the tied-up scientists in a secret room. They were forced to develop poisons and antidotes for the Shadow Council. "Please save us, they are demons!" the scientists pleaded tremblingly.

“Don’t be afraid, we are the Sentinels of Light, we will take you away from here,” the young traveler comforted and quickly untied the ropes.

At the same time, Su Ye and his companions fought fiercely with the guards of the "Shadow Council" who came over. In the flash of swords and shadows, the contest between light and darkness reached a climax. Qi Meng's magic bloomed like a gorgeous flower in the air, providing cover for her companions, while Youying shuttled among the enemy groups like a ghost, and every move was fatally accurate. Just as the battle was becoming white-hot, a gloomy voice sounded from the dark: "Give up, Sentinel of Light, you can't stop our plan."

"Come out, leader of the Shadow Council. Hiding in the dark is not the way to solve the problem." Su Ye said loudly, the tip of his sword pointing to the deepest part of the shadow.

Following a sneer, a man in a black robe slowly walked out. His face was hidden under his hood, and only his eyes flashed with greed and madness: "I admit that you are more difficult than I expected. But do you think this can change the outcome?"

"Just try it and you'll know." The young traveler stepped forward, the iron rod in his hand shining with the light of justice in the sunlight.

The battle entered its final stage, and the Sentinels of Light defeated the Black Robe Man and his followers one by one with their courage and wisdom. With a heavy fall, the Black Robe Man finally fell to the ground, symbolizing the end of the Shadow Council.

"It's over." Su Ye panted and looked around to confirm that there was no more threat.

"I hope so." Qi Meng walked up to him, her eyes filled with both relief and worry. "We still need to clean up the remnants and rebuild order in this world."

On the way back to the palace, the group wore tired but satisfied smiles. They knew that this victory was just the beginning, and true peace would require more efforts and persistence.

Inside the palace, the queen was awaiting their return. When she heard the news that the Shadow Parliament had been eradicated, tears welled up in her eyes. It was a relief and hope for the future.

"Welcome back, my warriors." The queen's voice was gentle but powerful. She stood in the corridor of the palace, her eyes falling on each returning warrior in turn, finally stopping at the faces of Su Ye, the young traveler and Youying. "Because of you, light shines on this land again."

Passerby A, an old man who had worked as a handyman in the palace for many years, walked by wiping his sweat. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but stop and whispered to Passerby B beside him: "I've lived long enough to see this. The legendary Sentinels of Light are like gods from heaven. Our kingdom is saved again." Passerby B nodded repeatedly, excitement flashing in his eyes.

The queen stepped forward and personally put cloaks of honor on the heroes. She turned to the young traveler and asked softly, "How did you find the antidote?"

The young traveler smiled and looked into the distance, as if he was back in the dark underground laboratory. "It is in the most unlikely places that we find hope. Sometimes, the truth is hidden in the most inconspicuous corners."

Many people who heard the news gathered in the square of the palace. They were talking about it. One old woman excitedly shook the hand of the person next to her and said, "Did you hear about it? The Sentinels of Light found the antidote. Even the queen said they are true heroes!"

"It's true, I saw them returning triumphantly with my own eyes, the momentum was simply amazing!" The young man next to him echoed, his eyes full of admiration.

At this time, a young child broke free from his mother's hand, ran to the young traveler, looked up and asked, "Big brother, do you know magic? Can you create a lot of beautiful lights like Sister Qimeng?"

The young traveler bent down and gently stroked the child's head. "Everyone has their own power. My power is to protect your smile."

The child jumped up excitedly and shouted to everyone around him: "When I grow up, I want to be a sentinel of light and protect everyone!"

The crowd burst into warm applause and cheers. At this moment, the seeds of hope were planted in everyone's heart.

Back in the palace, the queen summoned all important officials for an emergency meeting. "Although the Shadow Council has been destroyed, we still have a lot to do. Su Ye, Qi Meng, and the brave travelers, I hope you can continue to assist us to find and eliminate all hidden dangers and restore order in the kingdom."

Su Ye stood up and said firmly, "Queen, we are willing to continue to shoulder this responsibility. However, true peace requires the understanding and support of the people, as well as a new beginning."

The queen nodded in agreement and looked at everyone present. "Then, from today on, we will open a new chapter, and let the light not only illuminate the palace, but also shine into the hearts of every citizen."

After the meeting, Su Ye, the young traveler, Youying and Qimeng stood side by side on the corridor of the palace, looking at the rising sun outside the window and discussing their next plans.

"Next, we will go to various towns to expose the conspiracy of the 'Shadow Parliament' and let the truth come to light." Su Ye's eyes were firm.

The young traveler chuckled. "It sounds like a good adventure. We also need to find more allies like that pharmacist who have justice in their hearts."

Shadow looked into the distance silently and said in a deep voice: "At the same time, we must also be wary of the remnants of the Shadow Council. They may not give up."

Qi Meng smiled and concluded with her warm voice: "No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we stand united, light will surely dispel all darkness."

At this moment, a guard who came hurriedly interrupted their conversation, "Dear Sentinels of Light, we just received news that an unknown force has been active in a small town in the north. We request support."

"It seems that a new challenge has arrived." The young traveler gripped the iron rod tightly in his hand, with determination flashing in his eyes.

"We don't have time to hesitate." Su Ye made a quick decision, "Qimeng, can you use magic to quickly investigate the situation? We need more information to formulate an action plan."

Qi Meng closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and lightly swiped her fingers through the air. A subtle light emerged, gradually painting a picture of a small town in the north. After a moment, she opened her eyes, her face solemn: "The situation is not optimistic. The residents there are in a panic. It seems that an unknown organization is wreaking havoc there with unknown intentions."
