Inside Ice Dragon Valley, the crisis was temporarily resolved. The smoke gradually dissipated, leaving only a devastated mess. Lin Yu and the others stood wearily, looking at each other. Their faces showed relief at having survived the ordeal, but more importantly, they were filled with a solemnity about the unknown future. The mysterious black crystal ball had been shattered, and the giant figure had vanished, but the shadow of the Dark Cult still loomed over their hearts like a haze.
Lin Yu tightly grasped the mysterious key. This key played an important role at the critical moment, but now it has returned to calm, as if accumulating strength for the next time. Lin Yu's eyes were deep and determined. He knew that the conspiracy of the Dark Cult was far from over. They must continue to move forward and find a way to completely defeat the enemy. "Everyone, take a break first and recover some strength. We can't let our guard down yet." Lin Yu's voice was steady, but with a hint of fatigue.
Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment. She looked at Lin Yu, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration. In this thrilling battle, Lin Yu was always the backbone of everyone, leading them to escape danger time and time again. "Lin Yu, thank you. If it weren't for you, we really don't know what to do." Su Yao said softly with a gentle smile on her face.
Xiao Yi put away his weapon, the anger on his face had not completely subsided. He spat and said hatefully: "These bastards of the Dark Cult, and those traitors, they deserve to be hacked into pieces! If they hadn't made trouble, we wouldn't have gone through so much trouble." Xiao Yi's hatred for the Dark Cult deepened a bit. He rubbed his hands, looking forward to the next showdown with the enemy to completely eliminate them.
Lu Ming pushed his glasses up, his eyes gleaming with thought behind the lenses. He looked down at the shattered remains of the crystal ball on the ground, analyzing the situation in his mind. "While the shattering of the crystal ball resolves the immediate crisis, the Dark Cult's conspiracy certainly goes beyond this. The clues we discovered in the Ice Dragon Valley may hold the key to uncovering their true purpose." Lu Ming's voice was low and calm. He always managed to keep a clear head in the chaos and analyze the situation for everyone.
You Qianxue folded her arms across her chest, icy energy flowing slowly through her body, her expression remaining stern. As the guardian of the Ice Cave, she held a deep bond with this icy land and a profound abhorrence for the Dark Cult's actions. "The Dark Cult dared to stir up such a commotion in Ice Dragon Valley; their ambitions are undoubtedly significant. We must quickly locate their headquarters and eradicate this cancer." You Qianxue's voice was so cold it seemed to freeze the air around them.
Bing Ling'er was a little excited. She played her part in this battle and felt her own growth. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Yu and the others, her heart filled with gratitude. "Thanks to everyone's help, I was able to persevere in the battle. In the future, I will work harder to practice, become stronger, and no longer hold everyone back." Bing Ling'er's voice was filled with a hint of determination and confidence.
The people from the five major academies also gathered together, their expressions varied. The white-haired old man in the lead frowned slightly, still feeling sad and angry about the traitor who appeared in the team. He looked at Lin Yu and others with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes. "Thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have found it difficult to cope with this sudden change. But the secrets of this Ice Dragon Valley will not be easily abandoned by our five major academies." The old man's voice was full of majesty.
Lin Yu's heart tightened slightly after hearing the old man's words. He knew that the five major academies had always had a strong desire to possess various resources and secrets. Although everyone had temporarily cooperated to fight against the Dark Cult during this trip to Ice Dragon Valley, there would probably be some disputes regarding the harvest and subsequent exploration of the Ice Dragon Valley. "Senior, our goal is to defeat the Dark Cult and maintain peace on the continent. We can discuss the secrets of the Ice Dragon Valley together, but I hope that everyone will not conflict with each other." Lin Yu said sincerely.
However, some within the five major academies weren't convinced. A man in a red robe snorted coldly, saying, "That sounds nice, but who knows if you, the Academy of Light, are trying to monopolize the secrets of Ice Dragon Valley? Although you won the previous competition and entered the Ice Dragon Valley, that doesn't mean you can monopolize everything here." A hint of hostility flashed in the man's eyes.
After hearing what the man said, Xiao Yi immediately became furious. He took a step forward and shouted, "What did you say? When did our Academy of Light want to take it all for itself? If it weren't for us, you would have been dealt with by the Dark Cult and the traitors long ago!" Xiao Yi had a hot temper to begin with, and naturally he couldn't help but lose his temper when he heard such slander.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, with people from the five major academies and the Academy of Light on the verge of a fight, and a new conflict seemed about to break out.
Seeing this, Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yi, whispering: "Don't be impulsive, now is not the time to start an internal conflict. We must put the overall situation first and not let the Dark Cult laugh at us." There was a hint of anxiety in Lu Ming's voice. He knew very well that internal unity was crucial at this time.
Lin Yu also stepped forward, his eyes firm and calm as he scanned the people from the five academies. "Everyone calm down. Our common enemy is the Dark Cult. If we kill each other over these trivial matters, it will only give the Dark Cult an opportunity to take advantage. I suggest that we first analyze the clues we got in the Ice Dragon Valley, and then discuss how to divide the gains. What do you think?" Lin Yu's voice was steady and powerful, with a convincing power.
The white-haired old man thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Lin Yu is right. We can't let the Dark Cult succeed. Let's find a safe place first and sort out the clues and gains." The old man's words calmed the people from the five major academies a little, and they nodded in agreement.
