"No, Father, how can I bear to watch you leave me like this..."
Sikong Lian's face was covered in tears, and his voice was trembling. His grief-stricken expression was heartbreaking, but at this moment, he no longer cared about the Spirit Emperor's attempts to stop him, and resolutely raised the staff in his hand, which exuded a mysterious aura.
As Sikong Lian chanted a series of obscure yet powerful spells, the staff in his hand instantly radiated a dazzling yet peaceful light. This light was as warm and gentle as the spring sun, and as dazzling and brilliant as the stars on a summer night, quickly enveloping the Spirit Emperor.
Then, a magical scene happened!
The moment he was enveloped by the light, the shocking wounds on the Spirit Emperor's body began to heal at an astonishing speed. His face, originally bloodless and pale as paper, gradually turned red, as if it were full of vitality again.
"A Lian, you..." Spiritual Emperor Sikong Hao looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh softly.
He knew very well what Sikong Lian's action meant, but he was more touched by his son's filial piety and concern for him.
Sikong Lian, fully aware that the Spirit Emperor was deeply concerned about the safety of his people, pondered for a moment before quickly changing his approach. He consoled him earnestly, "Father, you are the spiritual pillar and symbol of our entire Elven race! If even you fall, the army's morale will inevitably plummet and their spirit will be broken. By then, I'm afraid my uncle and his men will seize the opportunity to usurp the throne, with unimaginable consequences..."
Sikong Hao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. His expression was serious as he said, "Indeed, Ah Lian, the crisis facing our elves is unprecedented. Your uncle has secretly colluded with the demons, colluding with them from within and without to defeat us in one fell swoop. Faced with such powerful enemies surrounding us, we must devise a foolproof plan as quickly as possible to quell the rebellion and resist the invasion."
At this moment, Sikong Hao seemed to have just woken up from a dream, his eyes slowly falling on the beautiful woman standing beside Sikong Lian. His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with confusion, and he asked softly, "Ah Lian, who is this girl? Why are you here?"
Hearing Sikong Hao's question, Sikong Lian didn't dare to be negligent and quickly replied respectfully, "Father, this is the Star-Moon Goddess from the Temple of Light. The reason I was able to escape the demons' pursuit time and time again and successfully return to the secret forest is all thanks to her help!"
It turned out that the Spirit Emperor, with his keen insight and exceptional wisdom, had sensed that the elves were about to face an unprecedented catastrophe. Thus, he decisively dispatched Sikong Lian to the Forest of Light to seek the sacred staff, representing the elves' supreme authority and power, from his grandparents, who had long since retired to the countryside and enjoyed their retirement.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Hao turned his gaze towards Xingyue, a look of deep gratitude on his face. He said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Xingyue Goddess, for your favor towards Ah Lian and for protecting our elf race!"
Xingyue waved her hand and said calmly, "Spiritual Emperor, Prince Lian, now is not the time to discuss these matters. The most urgent task right now is to quell the rebellion and drive out the foreign enemies as quickly as possible."
Hearing Xingyue's words, Sikong Hao nodded in agreement. He then looked at his son and solemnly instructed him, "Ah Lian, what the Xingyue Goddess said is absolutely true. Your uncle might be preparing for his coronation ceremony right now. We must rush to the scene and prevent his conspiracy from succeeding!"
"Yes, Father. I will immediately lead a group of my clansmen to accompany you."
Sikong Lian's expression was as cold as ice. He resolutely raised high the staff in his hand, which symbolized the supreme respect and authority of the elves. Then he turned around, facing the deep and quiet secret forest, and shouted loudly: "Those who are willing to follow my highness to quell the rebellion, please follow my steps immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The elves who had been hiding in every corner of the mysterious forest responded as if they had heard a battle horn, and all said that they were willing to join the army and follow Sikong Lian to fight on the battlefield.
In a flash, an elite army composed entirely of elves had been assembled.
Xingyue looked at the newly formed team in front of her, and a sense of heroism rose involuntarily in her heart.
These elves are not wearing extremely tough armor, nor are they iron-blooded soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time. However, when faced with the safety of their families and relatives and the defense of their homeland, they are fearless and resolutely move forward, risking their lives.
Thinking of this, Xingyue secretly decided in her heart that no matter what, she would do her best to assist Sikong Lian in quelling this rebellion and protecting the peace and tranquility of the elves.
Under the leadership of Sikong Lian, this high-spirited team rushed towards the magnificent Elf Palace at lightning speed like an arrow from a bow.
Along the way, they encountered numerous obstacles set up by the rebels. However, with the astonishing power released by the staff in Sikong Lian's hand, which contained infinite spiritual energy, all the enemies were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs, and were easily defeated one by one.
After going through many hardships and dangers, Sikong Lian finally led his brave troops to their destination - the Elf Palace.
At this time, a large number of rebels had already gathered in the palace, and Sikong Lian's uncle Sikong Miao, who had ulterior motives, was sitting openly on the throne, which symbolized supreme power. He had a smug look on his face, and was looking at these uninvited guests with a provocative look and a half-smile.
