With the assistance of the Illusion Moon Clan, Xiao Yichen and his companions successfully traversed the numerous obstacles of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, continuing their journey in the direction indicated by the crystal map. Along the way, they increasingly felt the wonder and power of the Illusion Moon Clan's abilities; whether facing treacherous terrain or hidden dangers, they were able to turn peril into safety with the help of their new allies.
As they explored further, they arrived at a valley shrouded in an ancient barrier. A mysterious aura permeated the valley, and the surrounding cliffs were covered with intricate runes that emitted a faint glow, seemingly telling ancient stories. As the crystal map approached the valley, its light intensified, creating a wondrous resonance with the valley's barrier.
“This should be the place we’re looking for. These runes are similar to the markings on the crystal map. The clues to the treasure map are likely in the valley,” a scholar said excitedly, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge.
However, the valley's barrier appeared impenetrable, blocking their path. The elders of the Phantom Moon Clan gathered together, carefully studying the barrier's energy composition. They discovered that the barrier incorporated various ancient magical elements, and that its energy core needed to be found and the corresponding runic puzzles solved to open it.
Liyue walked to the barrier, gently touching the runes and feeling the flow of energy within. "The energy core of this barrier seems to be hidden deep in the valley, but the arrangement of the runes is extremely complex. We need time to decipher it." Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression focused.
Just as everyone was struggling to find a way to break the barrier, Murong Xuan reappeared. He led an elite force, rushing in from the other side of the valley. Clearly, he had also tracked them down through some means.
"Xiao Yichen, you won't get away with this! I'm going to get the treasure map this time!" Murong Xuan roared, his eyes filled with madness and greed.
Xiao Yichen gripped his sword tightly and stepped forward: "Murong Xuan, you will not succeed. We will not allow you to use the treasure to satisfy your ambitions and endanger the continent."
The battle erupted instantly, shouts of battle echoing through the valley. The warriors of the Illusion Moon Clan swiftly engaged the enemy, displaying their unique combat skills and clashing fiercely with Murong Xuan's men. Meanwhile, the Illusion Moon Clan's illusionists created layers of illusions around the battlefield, disrupting the enemy's vision and attack direction.
Lin Wan'er and the priests of the Illusion Moon Clan joined forces to cast spells, granting their soldiers shields and buffs. Beams of light flashed across the battlefield, enhancing the soldiers' combat and defensive capabilities. The leader of the men in black moved like a ghost among the enemy, specifically targeting and disrupting the enemy's skilled fighters, thus thwarting their attack rhythm.
Murong Xuan did not immediately join the battle. He ordered his men to charge towards Xiao Yichen and the others, while he himself tried to bypass the battlefield and find a way to enter the valley's barrier. He knew that as long as he obtained the treasure map, the outcome of this battle would be irrelevant.
Xiao Yichen realized Murong Xuan's intentions. He shook off his enemies and chased after Murong Xuan. "Murong Xuan, don't even think about escaping!" His figure flashed across the battlefield like lightning.
The two engaged in a breathtaking duel at the edge of the valley. Xiao Yichen's sword flashed with fierce swordplay, each strike aimed at Murong Xuan's vitals. Murong Xuan, not to be outdone, unleashed dark magic to counter Xiao Yichen's attacks. The clash of dark power and sword energy erupted with dazzling light and powerful shockwaves, shattering the surrounding rocks.
During the fierce battle, Xiao Yichen noticed that Murong Xuan's dark magic seemed to have improved even more than before, and he became secretly wary. However, he also understood that he couldn't let Murong Xuan break through his defenses, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You think you can stop me? Xiao Yichen, you're too naive. The treasure is destined to be mine, and I will become the ruler of this continent." Murong Xuan laughed arrogantly, and the sword in his hand released even more powerful dark energy.
"I will not let your conspiracy succeed, even if it costs me my life." Xiao Yichen's eyes were resolute. He gathered all his strength into his sword and unleashed his strongest sword move. This sword strike, imbued with his adherence to justice and his protection of peace on the continent, slashed towards Murong Xuan like a dazzling light.
Murong Xuan felt the power of the sword strike; his expression changed, and he defended with all his might. The two swords clashed, the powerful impact sending both of them flying. Xiao Yichen fell to the ground, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly got up, ready to fight again. Murong Xuan also suffered a significant impact; his body trembled slightly, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Illusion Moon Clan and Xiao Yichen's soldiers gradually gained the upper hand. The Illusion Moon Clan's illusion magic and unique combat abilities threw Murong Xuan's men into chaos, and they began to retreat steadily.
At that moment, cheers erupted from the valley's barrier. It turned out that the elders of the Illusion Moon Clan had found a way to break the barrier. Through in-depth research into the runic energy, they had identified the key runic combination controlling the barrier and successfully unlocked a portion of it.
"Quickly, we need to get into the valley before Murong Xuan can react," Li Yue shouted.
The crowd surged toward the gap in the valley's barrier. Murong Xuan, seeing this, was greatly alarmed. Ignoring the fact that his battle with Xiao Yichen was not yet over, he rushed toward the valley.
"Stop him!" Xiao Yichen shouted, charging at Murong Xuan once more and engaging him in a new round of combat.
With everyone's efforts, Murong Xuan was temporarily blocked outside the valley. Xiao Yichen and the others successfully entered the valley, and the barrier slowly closed behind them, isolating Murong Xuan and his men outside.
The valley is picturesque, with various rare flowers, plants, and trees swaying in the breeze, releasing enchanting fragrances. In the heart of the valley stands an ancient temple. The temple's architecture is simple and elegant, but its walls are also covered with mysterious runes and patterns, echoing those seen on the crystal map and the valley's barrier.
“The clues to the treasure map should be in this temple,” Lin Wan’er said, her eyes filled with anticipation.
They cautiously entered the temple, which was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere. In the very center of the temple stood a massive stone platform, upon which rested an exquisite box. The box emitted a soft light, within which seemed to flicker images, vaguely resembling a treasure map.
"Is this what we're looking for?" a soldier asked curiously.
The scholars gathered around the stone platform, carefully studying the runes on the box and the images within the light. After some analysis, they discovered that the box was enchanted with powerful sealing magic, requiring specific incantations and energy to open.
The elders of the Phantom Moon Clan once again played a crucial role. Through deciphering the temple runes and their own understanding of mysterious energy, they found clues to unlocking the box's seal. They circled the stone platform, casting complex spells and chanting incantations, as beams of colorful light flowed from their hands into the box.
As the light grew brighter, the seal on the box gradually loosened. Finally, with a crisp sound, the box opened. Inside was an ancient parchment scroll, on which was drawn a detailed map, marking the location of the treasure and various mysterious symbols and routes.
"We found it! This is the treasure map!" The crowd cheered.
However, before they could even celebrate, the temple began to shake violently. It turned out that opening the box had triggered the temple's protective mechanism. Many traps appeared on the walls, and arrows shot towards them from all directions.
"Watch out, everyone!" Xiao Yichen shouted. He and his soldiers raised their shields to block the arrows.
The Moonkin race sprang into action. Illusionists created illusions to draw the arrows' trajectory. Warriors used their agility to dodge attacks and search for the source of the trap. Priests cast protective spells to safeguard the scholars and those carrying the treasure map.
Lin Wan'er concentrated, casting powerful spells in an attempt to control the energy flow within the temple and prevent the mechanisms from activating further. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her body trembled slightly, but she persevered through gritted teeth.
With everyone's combined efforts, they successfully thwarted the temple's traps. The temple gradually returned to calm, but they knew they couldn't linger. Murong Xuan was still lurking outside the valley, and they had to leave as soon as possible, taking the treasure map to a safe place to continue their research on how to stop Murong Xuan from obtaining the treasure and protect the peace of the continent.
Carrying the treasure map, they left the valley through another exit of the temple. Outside the valley, Murong Xuan saw the treasure map in their hands, a flash of despair and anger crossing his eyes, but he knew that forcibly seizing it now would not be wise. He led his men, following Xiao Yichen and the others at a distance, waiting for the right opportunity to strike again.
Under the cover of the Illusion Moon Clan, Xiao Yichen and his companions headed towards a hidden stronghold. They knew that the struggle surrounding the treasure was far from over, and the appearance of the treasure map was only the beginning; more challenges and dangers awaited them ahead.
Under the cover of the Illusion Moon Clan, Xiao Yichen and his group, carrying the treasure map, sped towards the hidden stronghold. However, Murong Xuan was not about to give up so easily. He stared intently at the group ahead, his eyes flashing with a sinister light, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yichen, you can't escape. The treasure map will eventually be mine." With that, he waved his hand, leading his men to increase their pursuit speed.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen and the others also noticed Murong Xuan's close pursuit. "Everyone, speed up! We can't let Murong Xuan catch up!" Xiao Yichen shouted, knowing full well that if they got into a fight, the treasure map might be lost.
But Murong Xuan's men were incredibly fast and quickly caught up. In an instant, shouts of battle rang out again. Murong Xuan's elite troops charged towards Xiao Yichen and his group like wolves, and the two sides clashed instantly.
The warriors of the Illusion Moon Clan immediately took up battle formation and engaged the enemy in combat. Their weapons clashed with the enemy's swords, sparks flying. The Illusion Moon Clan's illusionists were not idle either; they cast powerful illusions, creating various terrifying hallucinations among the enemy. Some enemies saw themselves surrounded by countless venomous snakes, filled with terror; others saw themselves engulfed in flames, fleeing in panic.
The leader of the men in black continued to move through the enemy ranks like a ghost, his dagger aimed precisely at the vital points of his enemies. With each strike, an enemy fell. As he fought, he shouted to Xiao Yichen, "General, we must get rid of them as soon as possible; we are still some distance from a safe haven."
Xiao Yichen nodded, brandishing his sword and charging towards the densest concentration of enemies. His swordsmanship was incredibly fierce, each strike carrying a powerful aura that forced the enemies back. Lin Wan'er, at the rear of the group, joined the priests of the Illusion Moon Clan in casting spells. She summoned countless wind blades, which swept towards the enemies. Wherever the wind blades passed, the enemies were cut and left bleeding profusely.
Murong Xuan frowned upon seeing the chaotic scene on the battlefield. He knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he cast a dark spell, and puffs of black smoke billowed from his hands, spreading towards Xiao Yichen and the others. This black smoke was highly corrosive; upon contact with the human body, it would burn the skin, causing excruciating pain.
"Watch out for the smoke!" Li Yue shouted a warning. The Phantom Moon Clan immediately cast spells in an attempt to dispel the black smoke. However, Murong Xuan's dark magic was extremely powerful, and the smoke continued to spread, gradually enveloping the entire battlefield.
In the smoke, the battle became even more difficult. Xiao Yichen and the others struggled to breathe and their vision was obstructed, but they continued to fight tenaciously. The soldiers stood back to back, forming small square formations to guard against enemy surprise attacks. The members of the Illusion Moon Clan continued to coordinate their operations through telepathy.
Murong Xuan seized the opportunity and charged towards the scholar holding the treasure map. He moved with lightning speed, darting through the smoke. Xiao Yichen sensed his intention and, disregarding the smoke, gave chase.
"Murong Xuan, don't even think about succeeding!" Xiao Yichen shouted, unleashing his full power to break through the smoke. When he saw Murong Xuan's figure, he immediately swung his sword. Murong Xuan dodged the sword, simultaneously striking Xiao Yichen with a palm strike. Xiao Yichen was struck by the force of the palm and sent flying backward, but he regained his footing in mid-air and attacked Murong Xuan again.
The two engaged in a breathtaking duel amidst the smoke. Murong Xuan's dark magic clashed with Xiao Yichen's swordsmanship, each attack imbued with immense power. The surrounding air rippled violently from their battle, the smoke dissipating in all directions.
Meanwhile, Lin Wan'er and the priests of the Illusion Moon Clan finally found a way to dispel the black smoke. They worked together to cast a purification spell, and a huge white light rose from their hands. Wherever the light reached, the black smoke gradually dissipated.
As the smoke cleared, the situation on the battlefield became clear again. The soldiers of the Illusion Moon Clan and Xiao Yichen saw their general locked in fierce combat with Murong Xuan, and their morale soared. They fought even more desperately against the enemy.
In the fierce battle, a Moon Warrior, protecting a scholar carrying the treasure map, was pierced through the chest by an enemy spear. He gripped the spear tightly, roaring at the enemy, using his last strength to buy time for his comrades. Tears welled in the scholars' eyes; they knew this treasure map carried too much hope and sacrifice, and it had to be protected.
Seeing the black smoke dissipate, Murong Xuan grew anxious. He intensified his attacks, dark magic swirling around his body, forming black blades of light. He unleashed a barrage of these blades at Xiao Yichen, who nimbly dodged them while searching for Murong Xuan's opening.
Just as Murong Xuan was preparing to launch another attack, the leader of the men in black appeared behind him. The leader's dagger whistled through the air as it stabbed towards Murong Xuan's back. Sensing the danger behind him, Murong Xuan quickly turned and blocked the dagger with his sword.
"You despicable scoundrels, all you do is launch sneak attacks!" Murong Xuan roared angrily.
"There's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with someone like you," the leader of the men in black replied coldly.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on Murong Xuan. His sword moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, each strike aimed at Murong Xuan's vital points. Under the combined attack of Xiao Yichen and the leader of the men in black, Murong Xuan gradually found himself unable to defend himself.
But Murong Xuan was a formidable opponent. He suddenly conjured a powerful dark shield, enveloping himself in it. Black arcs of electricity crackled across the shield, striking anyone who approached. Xiao Yichen and the leader of the black-clad men's attacks struck the shield, only creating sparks; they failed to harm Murong Xuan.
"Hmph, you think you can defeat me like this?" Murong Xuan sneered, pulling a black crystal ball from his robes. The crystal ball radiated powerful dark energy, which chilled the surrounding air.
“This is…” A sense of unease welled up in Xiao Yichen’s heart.
Murong Xuan channeled dark energy into the crystal ball, which emitted a dazzling black light. The light shot towards Xiao Yichen and his companions, blasting large craters into the ground wherever it passed. Xiao Yichen and the others hurriedly dodged, but some soldiers were still struck by the light and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the elders of the Illusion Moon Clan joined forces to create a massive defensive barrier. The barrier enveloped Xiao Yichen and the others, blocking the attack of the black light. However, the power of the black light was too great, and the barrier developed many cracks under its impact.
"We must find a way to break his crystal ball, or we'll all die here," Li Yue said anxiously.
Lin Wan'er looked at the crystal ball in Murong Xuan's hand and had an idea. She said to the priests of the Illusion Moon Clan, "Let's work together to cast a counterspell and reflect his dark energy back."
The priests nodded, and together with Lin Wan'er, they concentrated on casting a counter-spell. A white light gathered in their hands, containing powerful purifying energy. When Murong Xuan launched another black light attack, Lin Wan'er and the others shot their white light towards it.
The two beams of light met in mid-air, unleashing a powerful energy shockwave. The entire battlefield was enveloped in light, and the strong shockwave sent both sides' soldiers staggering. Murong Xuan hadn't expected Lin Wan'er and the others to have such a method; he was forced back several steps by the force of the counter-magic, and cracks appeared in the crystal ball in his hand.
"Damn it!" Murong Xuan glared angrily at Lin Wan'er and the others. He tried to steady himself and launch another attack. But at that moment, Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and charged towards Murong Xuan. He unleashed his strongest sword move, concentrating all his power into this single strike.
The sword, carrying an unstoppable momentum, pierced fiercely towards Murong Xuan. Murong Xuan tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sword struck his shoulder, and he cried out in pain as the crystal ball in his hand fell to the ground. After the crystal ball shattered, it released a powerful surge of dark energy, but this energy went out of control, scattering wildly and causing damage to both of them.
Murong Xuan clutched his shoulder, his eyes filled with hatred: "Xiao Yichen, I will not let you get away with this!" With that, he led his men in a disheveled retreat.
Xiao Yichen and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they were all exhausted. Many soldiers were wounded and needed to find a place to heal as soon as possible. Moreover, although the treasure map had been preserved in this fierce battle, they knew that Murong Xuan would not give up easily, and there would be more battles to come.
They carried their wounded soldiers and continued towards the hidden stronghold. Along the way, everyone remained silent, their hearts heavy with sorrow for the battle they had just fought and the fallen comrades. But they also understood that as long as the treasure remained, Murong Xuan would continue to threaten the peace of the continent, and they had to persevere until they completely thwarted Murong Xuan's plot.
Upon reaching the hidden hideout, they began to rest. The scholars carefully took out the treasure map and began further study. They knew that time was of the essence; they had to find a way to stop Murong Xuan from the treasure map as soon as possible, as the battle against evil was far from over.
In the hidden stronghold, Xiao Yichen and his companions began a brief rest. The soldiers' wounds were carefully treated by the Illusion Moon Clan healers, and their exhausted bodies gradually regained some strength. The scholars sat around the treasure map, carefully studying every mysterious symbol and complex route under the soft light, trying to find the key information to stop Murong Xuan.
Standing on the watchtower of the stronghold, Xiao Yichen gazed into the distance, his mind filled with countless thoughts. Although the battle with Murong Xuan had temporarily repelled him, the price he had paid was considerable. The faces of the fallen soldiers and Illusion Moon Clan warriors flashed through his mind, further strengthening his resolve to protect the peace of the Rong Kingdom.
"Yichen, look." Lin Wan'er walked up to the observation platform, draped a cloak over Xiao Yichen's shoulders, and followed his gaze into the distance. "We have come so far and gone through so many hardships and dangers. We must not let all our efforts go to waste."
Xiao Yichen grasped Lin Wan'er's hand and nodded: "Yes, Murong Xuan has suffered a setback this time, and he will surely retaliate even more fiercely. We must not only protect the treasure map, but also find a way to completely eliminate this threat and restore peace to Rong Kingdom and the continent."
Just then, a soldier came to report: "General, we have found some suspicious traces nearby, which may be spies of Murong Xuan."
Xiao Yichen frowned: "It seems he hasn't given up and is still spying on our actions. We need to increase our vigilance and not give him any opportunity to take advantage."
The leader of the men in black also came over: "General, we can't stay on the defensive forever. Perhaps we can use these spies to set a trap for Murong Xuan."
After discussion, they decided to create a false impression around the stronghold, making Murong Xuan believe they had encountered difficulties while deciphering the treasure map, thus luring him into a trap. The illusionists of the Illusion Moon Clan played a crucial role, creating various realistic scenes, including scholars arguing and soldiers panicking, leading the scouts to mistakenly believe that the place was in complete chaos.
As expected, after receiving the news from his scouts, Murong Xuan saw this as an excellent opportunity. He gathered his men, preparing to launch another attack. "This time, I will definitely seize the treasure map and make Xiao Yichen and his gang pay the price!" Murong Xuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
When Murong Xuan led his troops to the vicinity of the stronghold, he sensed something amiss. However, his greed and eagerness to succeed made him ignore his suspicions, and he ordered an attack.
However, what awaited him was a trap meticulously set by Xiao Yichen and his men. As soon as they entered the area surrounding the stronghold, Murong Xuan's troops were thrown into chaos. The ground suddenly cracked open, and many soldiers fell into pre-dug pits filled with sharp wooden stakes. Simultaneously, the illusionists of the Illusion Moon Clan unleashed even more powerful illusions, making the enemy see themselves surrounded by countless terrifying monsters, causing widespread panic and disarray within the army.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yichen led his soldiers in a charge from all directions. Like celestial warriors descending to earth, they surged towards Murong Xuan's forces, the shouts of battle deafening. The leader of the men in black, once again moving like a ghost through the enemy ranks, specifically targeting and eliminating the enemy's strongest fighters to weaken their fighting strength.
Lin Wan'er and the priests of the Illusion Moon Clan cast spells from the rear to support their own soldiers. Healing spells flew towards the wounded, allowing them to rejoin the battle; powerful offensive spells blasted towards the densest areas of the enemy, inflicting heavy losses.
Seeing his troops in dire straits, Murong Xuan was enraged. He charged towards Xiao Yichen recklessly, his sword flashing with black energy, attempting to break through Xiao Yichen's defenses. Xiao Yichen, however, calmly countered, his sword clashing with Murong Xuan's sword energy, each collision sparking dazzling flashes.
"Murong Xuan, you have no chance anymore, give up!" Xiao Yichen shouted.
"Hmph, I will not give up. The treasure is mine, and the Rong Kingdom will be mine too!" Murong Xuan roared, his eyes turning crazed.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Murong Xuan suddenly unleashed a forbidden dark spell. At the cost of his own life force, he summoned a swarm of dark phantoms. These phantoms were ethereal and exuded a sinister aura. They pounced on Xiao Yichen and the others, causing the temperature to plummet wherever they went, as if the soldiers' souls were about to be frozen.
"This is... a forbidden dark technique!" Li Yue's expression changed. "Everyone be careful, these dark ghosts are very difficult to deal with, and ordinary attacks are ineffective against them."
The elders of the Illusion Moon Clan immediately gathered together and performed an ancient purification ritual in an attempt to dispel the dark phantoms. However, under Murong Xuan's control, the dark phantoms continued to breach the purification ritual's defenses.
Xiao Yichen knew he couldn't let Murong Xuan continue using this evil magic, so he decided to take a risk. He concentrated all his strength and charged towards Murong Xuan, attempting to interrupt his spellcasting. The leader of the men in black saw through Xiao Yichen's intention and followed closely behind, joining Xiao Yichen in attacking Murong Xuan.
The moment Xiao Yichen approached Murong Xuan, the dark phantoms sensed the threat and swarmed towards him. Surrounded by the dark phantoms, a bone-chilling cold instantly spread throughout Xiao Yichen's body, and he felt his strength draining away.
"General!" The soldiers rushed over to rescue Xiao Yichen when they saw him in danger.
Lin Wan'er was extremely anxious. She unleashed her strongest spell, creating a massive shield of light that enveloped Xiao Yichen. The shield temporarily blocked the dark phantom's attacks, but the dark phantom continued to ram into the shield, causing cracks to appear on its surface.
"Let's buy the general some time!" shouted the leader of the men in black. He led his soldiers and the Phantom Moon warriors in a desperate battle against the dark phantoms. They attacked the dark phantoms with weapons and magic, and although they could not cause them any real damage, they successfully diverted some of the dark phantoms' attention.
Inside the Shield of Light, Xiao Yichen endured the cold and weakness. He knew he had to break through the encirclement of the Dark Specters as soon as possible and stop Murong Xuan. He closed his eyes, recalling his original intention to protect the Rong Kingdom and the moments he had shared with his companions. A powerful belief surged within him.
"I cannot fall, for Rong Kingdom, for the mainland!" Xiao Yichen suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful force erupted from his body, which repelled the surrounding dark phantoms.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Yichen charged towards Murong Xuan. His sword gleamed with a dazzling light, a light that contained justice and hope. He thrust his sword at Murong Xuan, who was focused on controlling the Dark Specter and unable to dodge the fatal blow. The sword pierced Murong Xuan's chest, and Murong Xuan's eyes widened, filled with shock and resentment.
"You... It's impossible..." Murong Xuan's voice grew weaker and weaker, and as he fell, the dark phantom also dissipated.
Upon seeing their commander dead, Murong Xuan's troops lost all morale and scattered in all directions. Xiao Yichen and his men successfully repelled the enemy and protected the treasure map and the stronghold.
News of the victory quickly spread throughout Rong Kingdom, and the people cheered with joy. Peace gradually returned to Rong Kingdom's borders, and the wounds of war began to heal. Xiao Yichen and his companions became heroes in the hearts of the people, and their deeds were widely celebrated.
In the days that followed, with the assistance of the Illusion Moon Clan, the scholars continued their study of the treasure map. They discovered that the treasure contained a magical power that could heal the wounds left by war and restore life to the continent. Therefore, Xiao Yichen and the others decided to use the treasure for good, helping Rong Kingdom and the continent to prosper again.
They used the power of the treasure to repair cities and villages ravaged by war, allowing displaced people to rebuild their homes. Farmland regained its fertility, grain production gradually increased, and the people's food and clothing problems were solved. At the same time, the power of the treasure was also used to train a new generation of warriors and scholars, laying a solid foundation for the future development of Rong Kingdom.
Lin Wan'er and the priests of the Illusion Moon Clan used the mysterious energy from the treasure to establish magical shields throughout Rong Kingdom. These shields could withstand natural disasters and invasions by foreign enemies, protecting the safety of Rong Kingdom. The leader of the men in black was responsible for training the soldiers, passing on the experience accumulated in battle to them, making Rong Kingdom's army even stronger.
Xiao Yichen watched as Rong Kingdom gradually prospered with the help of the treasure's power, his heart filled with satisfaction. He knew that all this peace and prosperity was bought with the lives and sweat of countless people. He would forever protect Rong Kingdom, safeguard this hard-won peace, and ensure that the people of the continent would never again suffer the ravages of war. Those days fighting alongside his comrades would become his most precious memories, inspiring him to strive for a better future.
Although Murong Xuan failed, he would not give up so easily...
