Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

"Indeed, if that is really the secret base of the Time Guardians, then finding it will not only uncover their identities, but may also reveal deeper secrets about the Hourglass of Time." Leah analyzed calmly, and every word revealed her wisdom and calmness.

"However, since that place is so dangerous, we have to be fully prepared." Avril added, already thinking about the equipment she would need to bring and the difficulties she might encounter.

Su Zhe was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly: "We must not only prepare supplies, but also prepare our hearts. There may be sacrifices and betrayals along the way, but as long as our beliefs remain unchanged, we will eventually reach the end."

The four of them smiled at each other. The tacit understanding that did not require any words made them seem to have seen the fire in each other's hearts. It was the desire for the unknown, the persistence in justice, and the infinite yearning for a bright future.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the stone road of the town, the four members of the Light Team were ready to go. They set out on the road to the Misty Forest, their backs firm and resolute, and every step seemed to declare that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, it could not stop their determination to find the truth.

The residents of the town stood at the door, watching them leave, and the discussions started again.

"Look, that's Team Light, the legendary heroes who can manipulate time!"

"It's really amazing. I hope they can return safely and bring more miracles."

"Manipulating time, haha, even though I don't believe it, I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

Amidst the discussions, Team Light gradually walked away. What they were about to enter was a new chapter that was both mysterious and full of dangers.

"No matter what, we have already started and we can't turn back." Su Zhe turned around and smiled at his companions, his tone filled with excitement and determination for the unknown challenge.

"Yes, for the truth, for the world, let's move forward together." Lin Mufeng, Leah and Avril responded in unison. Their voices echoed in the morning breeze, stirring up ripples of hope.

Su Zhe led the Light Team through the misty forest. The thick fog around them limited their vision, but everyone remained on high alert. Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the front, vaguely mixed with shouting and the sound of metal colliding.

"It sounds like someone is fighting." Avril pricked up her ears and frowned.

"Let's go and take a look." Su Zhe gave the order decisively, and the four of them quickly rushed to the source of the sound.

After passing through some thick fog, they saw an open area where several students in college uniforms were fighting a group of men in black. The students were clearly at a disadvantage, and several of them had fallen to the ground, staining the ground red with blood.

"It's a student from the academy!" Lin Mufeng exclaimed.

"Let's go help!" Liya drew her sword and rushed over first. Su Zhe and Avril followed closely behind, while Lin Mufeng prepared to cast a spell to support them.

"Team Light, come to help!" Su Zhe shouted, attracting the attention of the men in black. Their arrival boosted the morale of the students, and the battle situation was reversed in an instant.

Su Zhe's sword flashed like lightning, quickly repelling several men in black. Avril nimbly shuttled between the enemies, her short sword flashing with cold light, and each strike was accurate. Lin Mufeng's spells exploded in the air, with flames and frost appearing alternately, causing great trouble to the enemy. Liya protected the injured students with a shield and fought back with a long sword.

"Retreat!" Seeing the situation was not good, the men in black quickly evacuated, leaving behind only a few corpses and a mess.

"Thank you for your help." A surviving student said breathlessly, "We are students of the academy and have just been attacked by men in black."

"Why are you here?" Su Zhe asked, with concern in his eyes.

"Something happened at the academy!" The student's face turned pale, his eyes full of fear. "A group of men in black suddenly attacked the academy. Many people were injured, and we were forced to flee in different directions."

Su Zhe's heart tightened. The academy was their important stronghold. If it was lost, the consequences would be disastrous.

"We have to go back to provide support." Su Zhe made a decisive decision, "Can you guys go?"

"Yes, we will go back with you." Although the students were injured, their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The Light Team escorted the students back to the academy quickly. Along the way, they encountered more fleeing students and teachers. The situation was worse than they had imagined. The academy's gate had been destroyed, the academy was in a mess, and traces of fighting could be seen everywhere.

"We have to find the dean." Su Zhe said to his companions.

"The dean should be in the main building. Let's go over and take a look." a student guided.

The Light Team led the students to the main building, but as soon as they reached the door, they were blocked by a powerful force. A leader of the men in black stood in front of the door, looking at them coldly.

"You've come at the right time. Today is your doom." The leader of the men in black spoke in a cold voice, with the long sword in his hand flashing with a cold light.

"That may not be the case." Su Zhe sneered, drew out his sword and rushed forward.

The two men fought instantly, their swords clashed, sparks flew. Su Zhe's swordsmanship was swift and precise, but the black-clothed leader's swordsmanship was equally sharp, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

"You go find the dean, I'll stop him!" Su Zhe shouted to his companions.

"Su Zhe, be careful!" Avril looked at him worriedly, but still rushed into the main building with others.

Su Zhe was concentrating on fighting the leader of the men in black, and every move and every style could not be missed. At this time, Lin Mufeng's spell suddenly attacked from the side, alternating between fire and frost, which brought great pressure to the leader of the men in black. Su Zhe seized the opportunity and stabbed the opponent's shoulder with a sword. The leader of the men in black cried out in pain, stepped back a few steps, and his face was gloomy.

"You will regret it!" the leader of the men in black said viciously, then quickly retreated and disappeared into the night.

Su Zhe did not pursue, he knew that the most important thing now was to protect the college. He quickly ran into the main building and found his companions and the dean.

"Dean, are you okay?" Su Zhe asked with concern.

The dean was a white-haired old man, his face full of fatigue, but his eyes were still firm. "I'm fine, luckily you arrived in time. Although the academy was attacked, most of the students and teachers are still safe."

"Why did the men in black attack the academy?" Avril asked.

"They want the Hourglass of Time," the dean said in a deep voice. "The Hourglass of Time is the academy's greatest treasure. It has the power to manipulate time. They want to take it away and control time."

"Hourglass of Time?" Su Zhe frowned, "We must protect it."

"That's right." The dean nodded, "However, I have moved the Hourglass of Time to a safe place, so you don't have to worry."

"So what should we do next?" Lin Mufeng asked. "We need time to recover and rebuild," said the dean, "but more importantly, we must find the lair of the men in black and completely eliminate this threat."

"We already have a clue." Su Zhe told the dean the information about the Misty Forest and the Forgotten Land.

"The Land of Oblivion..." The dean pondered for a moment, "It is indeed a dangerous place, but it may be the only chance."

"We are willing to investigate." Su Zhe said firmly.

"Well, young people, you are the hope of the college." The dean looked at them deeply, "I wish you good luck."

The Light Team set out on a journey again. This time, they shoulder not only their own destiny, but also the hope of the entire academy. They know that the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, but as long as their faith remains unchanged, they will eventually usher in the dawn of victory.

Deep in the misty forest, the four members of Team Light once again walked side by side, each step full of determination and resolve. They knew that this adventure would determine their future and the fate of the entire world.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will not retreat." Su Zhe gripped the sword tightly, his eyes as sharp as torches.

"For justice, for the truth, let's move forward together." Avril, Lin Mufeng and Leah responded in unison. Their voices echoed in the forest, stirring up ripples of hope.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the road ahead became clearer. They knew that the real test was coming, and they were ready.

The Light Team marched forward in the misty forest, the shadows of the trees swaying around them, as if whispering of unknown dangers. Su Zhe walked at the front of the team, long sword in hand, eyes alert. They knew that every step could lead to an ambush by the enemy.

"We have to be careful, something doesn't seem right here." Avril whispered, looking around.

"Yes, I sense an ominous aura." Lin Mufeng nodded, the staff in his hand glowing slightly, ready to cast a spell at any time.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes ahead. Su Zhe raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. At this moment, a group of mysterious people in black robes rushed out from all directions, holding various weapons and quickly surrounded them.

"You are here as expected." The leading black-robed man sneered, his voice hoarse and gloomy, "We have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Who are you?" Su Zhe asked coldly, pointing his sword at the other party.

"We are the Shadow Cult, and the men in black are just our vanguard." The man in black robes replied, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, "Today, none of you will be able to leave here."

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed people launched an attack. Su Zhe went forward without hesitation, his long sword flashing a cold light, colliding fiercely with the enemy's weapon. Avril and Liya also quickly joined the battle, their short swords and long swords flashing in the air, each move was deadly. Lin Mufeng cast magic in the back, alternating between fire and frost, blocking the enemy's attack route.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the members of the Shadow Cult were obviously more powerful than the previous black-robed men. Su Zhe's sword flashed like lightning, and each strike was full of power, but the opponent's counterattack was equally swift. Just as he was fighting with a black-robed man, another enemy suddenly attacked from the side, with a long sword pointing directly at Su Zhe's waist.

"Su Zhe, be careful!" Avril exclaimed, but it was too late to stop it.

Su Zhe barely dodged sideways, but was still cut by the long knife, and blood instantly stained his clothes red. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and used his backhand sword to repel the sneak attacking enemy.

"Are you okay?" Leah asked anxiously, her shield blocking the attack of another enemy.

"I can still hold on." Su Zhe panted, his eyes still firm, "We must defeat them."

Seeing this, Lin Mufeng quickly cast a healing spell, and a green light enveloped Su Zhe's wound, which gradually healed. Su Zhe nodded to express his gratitude, and then continued to fight.

The Shadow Cult's attacks became more and more fierce, but the members of Team Light did not flinch. They cooperated with each other and gradually found the opponent's flaws. Avril's dagger was as swift as a venomous snake, and every strike was accurate. Leah protected her teammates with a shield and counterattacked with a long sword. Lin Mufeng's magic exploded in the air, causing great trouble to the enemy.

"We can't delay any longer." Su Zhe's heart tightened, knowing that he had to fight quickly. He jumped high, slashed down with his long sword, and a strong sword energy went straight to the black-robed man in the lead.

Seeing this, the black-robed man quickly raised the staff in his hand and tried to resist. However, Su Zhe's sword energy was so powerful that it directly shattered the staff, knocking the black-robed man several meters away and falling heavily to the ground.

“You… won’t succeed…” The man in black robe spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"We will find your lair and completely eliminate you." Su Zhe said coldly, pointing his sword at the other party.

The black-robed man struggled to get up, but eventually fell to the ground exhausted and died. Seeing this, the other members of the Shadow Cult retreated and disappeared into the mist.

"We won." Avril breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"But this is just the beginning." Su Zhe took a deep breath, his eyes determined, "The Shadow Cult is more powerful than we thought. We must find their lair as soon as possible."

"You're right." Lin Mufeng nodded, "But before that, we need to rest for a while."

"Okay, let's find a safe place to heal first," Leah suggested.

The Light Team found a hidden cave in the Misty Forest and stopped to rest. Su Zhe's wounds had healed under Lin Mufeng's healing spell, but he still felt weak.

"You need to rest more." Avril said with concern, handing him a bottle of potion.

"Thank you, I will." Su Zhe took the potion and smiled slightly.

"What should we do next?" Leah asked, sitting aside to rest.

"We must find the Forgotten Land as soon as possible." Su Zhe pondered for a moment, "There may be clues we need hidden there."

"But the Forgotten Land is full of dangers." Lin Mufeng frowned, "We need to be fully prepared."

"That's right." Su Zhe nodded, "We must be more careful and cautious, and we can't make any more mistakes."

After the rest, the Light Team continued to move forward. They knew that this adventure had just begun and the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers. But they also knew that as long as their faith remained unchanged, they would eventually usher in the dawn of victory.

At the end of the misty forest, an ancient stone door appeared in front of them. The stone door was engraved with mysterious runes and emitted a faint light. (End of this chapter)
