Chapter 634 Frequent Accidents
"Then how do we get the seal core back? Without it, this land will no longer be safe." Lily's worry was evident in her words.

"We must first find out where the core has gone." Eun Jung quickly regained her composure and began to deploy. "Xu Mo, use your knowledge to find possible clues. Li Zixue, contact allies in various places and strengthen vigilance to prevent the Dark Night Cult from taking this opportunity to stir up trouble. Liu Yunshan, prepare supplies, as we may have to travel a long distance. Zhao Ming, you need to guide us to use the connection between the Heart of Light and the Sealed Core."

Everyone acted quickly, and the tense atmosphere enveloped the entire team again. Zhao Ming closed his eyes and tried to sense the power that was integrated into his blood. At first, there was only chaos, but with his unremitting efforts, a faint resonance began to ripple in his heart, pointing to the east, a distant and mysterious mountain range.

"I feel it. The core of the seal is in the direction of the Wuji Mountains in the east." Zhao Ming opened his eyes with a firm look.

"The Wuji Mountains are a place that has not been touched by modern civilization. It is full of unknowns and dangers." Xu Mo confirmed as he flipped through the ancient books in his hand.

"The unknown and danger, isn't this our daily life?" Liu Yunshan gave a wry smile, but he couldn't hide the determination in his eyes.

So, the group of people set out on a journey to track down the sealed core. The journey to the Wuji Mountains is long and dangerous. Not only do they have to fight against the harsh environment of nature, but they also have to beware of the secret spying of the Dark Night Cult.

A few days later, when they arrived deep in the mountains, a huge altar covered with ice and snow came into view. The seal core was quietly suspended in the center of the altar, emitting an awe-inspiring light. Under the altar, a figure slowly stood up. It was a warrior who looked like Zhao Ming's father, but his eyes were filled with madness and the flames of revenge.

"You...why are you here?" Zhao Ming was shocked and more confused.

The warrior turned around and smiled twistedly: "I am the ancestor of the Zhao family, and also a sealed sinner. For a long time, I have been waiting for this moment to use your blood to unlock my shackles."

"It turns out that the loosening of the seal was not accidental, but you have been guiding it." Xu Mo frowned and quickly analyzed the situation.

"Yes, now, I will take back the power that belongs to me, and no one can stop me!" The ancestor gathered dark energy in his hands, ready to seize the seal core.

"Father once warned me that the seal is not only to restrain you, but also to protect the world." Zhao Ming stepped forward, and the heart of light in his body responded to his will, emitting a dazzling light, "I can't let you destroy all this."

A fierce battle ensues, light and darkness collide, and the world changes color. In this battle, everyone spares no effort, not only to guard the seal, but also to protect the world they cherish and each other.

Just when Zhao Ming's fight with the ancestor reached a climax, Eun Jing discovered a hidden mechanism, which was connected to an ancient spell that could seal the ancestor again.

A sudden piercing scream pierced the sky, and soon afterwards, a group of members of the Dark Night Cult, dressed in black robes and wearing hideous masks, appeared around the battlefield like ghosts and surrounded them.

“Haha, God is helping me! The rebels of the Zhao family and the Saint of the Church of Light, today you will all sacrifice yourself for our great cause!” A man with a hoarse but intimidating voice walked out of the cult. His black robe was embroidered with dark red talismans, and it was obvious that he had an extraordinary status.

"Apostle of Dark Night, your ambition will eventually destroy you!" The saint responded coldly, and the light in her hand gathered into a dazzling sword of light, ready to fight.

At this moment, the battle was about to break out, and the light of the seal core seemed to become more unstable because of this sudden threat. It swayed in the air, as if it could burst out with more powerful power at any time.

"We will split up. Eunjeong, Lily, and Li Zixue, the three of you will be responsible for resisting the Dark Night Cult and protecting the sealed core. Xu Mo, you continue to look for that mechanism. We must seal the ancestor again as soon as possible." Zhao Ming quickly assigned the tasks. He knew very well that in such a melee, protecting the sealed core was the key.

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison, and then took action. Zhao Ming rushed directly towards the ancestor, the power of light in his body burning fiercely, and every blow contained the determination to break the darkness.

At the same time, Xu Mo carefully observed the altar in the chaos, and with his knowledge and intuition, he finally found the ancient mechanism in an inconspicuous crack. He quickly began to recite the obscure spell, and as the spell deepened, the air around him seemed to solidify, and an ancient and sacred power was quietly gathering.

"You foolish descendant, how dare you resist your ancestors!" The ancestor's power became more and more violent, and every attack made the earth tremble, but Zhao Ming struggled to hold on with the power of the Heart of Light. He knew that he could not fall down, otherwise everything would come to nothing.

At this time, Eun-jeong and the other two were also caught in a tough battle. The Dark Night Cult had a large number of members, and each of them was proficient in dark magic, but they cooperated well and gradually stabilized the situation with their superb martial arts and firm beliefs.

"Found it!" Xu Mo's voice pierced through the noise of the battle. As he completed his last spell, a dazzling light burst out from the mechanism, forming a powerful beam of light that directly hit the ancestor.

The ancestor roared in pain, and the dark power that had been condensed began to dissipate. His body was gradually wrapped in light, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and was sealed again.

The seal core also stabilized at this moment. The light gradually softened and slowly fell back onto the altar, as if everything had returned to its original tranquility.

"Well done, Xu Mo!" Zhao Ming panted and cast a grateful glance at his friend.

"Don't let your guard down. The Dark Night Cult won't give up so easily." Xu Mo reminded, while looking around vigilantly.

Sure enough, the Apostle of Dark Night saw that the situation was not good, sneered, activated a black magic circle, and tried to escape: "Today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow! We will meet again, descendants of the Zhao family!"

As a black fog spread, the members of the Dark Night Cult disappeared one by one, leaving only an empty altar and five warriors standing side by side.

"We won this battle." Lily said softly, with a victorious smile on her face, but her eyes were full of worry about the future.

"But the battle is not over yet. The battle between light and darkness will never stop." Zhao Ming looked into the distance with a firm gaze, "However, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

In the afterglow of the sunset, the group set out on their journey home. They knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them, but they also firmly believed that as long as they had each other's company, they would be able to protect this hard-earned peace.

"Zhao Ming, the legacy left by your father has given us a great mission." Eun Jung turned around at the front of the team, her eyes full of trust and expectation, "But we are not fighting alone, right?"

"Yes, we have each other." Zhao Ming smiled and glanced at each person in turn. Finally, their conversation ended in a relaxed yet firm atmosphere.

Zhao Ming and his companions took a short break in the town. The townspeople were full of respect for them, and their heroic deeds had spread among the people. The sun shone on the alley, and Zhao Ming sat in the corner of the tavern, holding a cup of warm ale in his hand, thinking about a lot of things. Suddenly, an exquisite letter was delivered to him by a white dove, with a piece of golden letter paper engraved with the logo of the Church of Light tied to the pigeon's leg.

Zhao Ming opened the letter, and the saint's beautiful and powerful handwriting came into view: "To the brave guardian Zhao Ming, I am grateful and hereby invite you and your companions to visit the holy land deep in the Church of Light that is not open to the public. There, there are ancient wisdom and unknown powers that may help us better fight against the coming darkness. May the light guide us forward. Sincerely, the saint."

After reading it, Zhao Ming's eyes sparkled with curiosity and expectation. He immediately called Eunjeong, Xu Mo, Li Zixue and Lily to share this unexpected invitation. Everyone looked at each other and felt that this matter was very important. They decided to accept the invitation and explore the more secret areas of the Church of Light.

A few days later, the group once again stepped into the glorious hall of the Church of Light. The Saint personally greeted them with a gentle and profound smile, leading them through the winding secret passage to a hidden underground palace. The air here was filled with a faint fragrance, and the walls were engraved with the legends and achievements of the messengers of light from past generations. Every step seemed to be walking through the long river of history.

"Here is the most sacred secret of our Church of Light - the Holy Temple of Light." The Saint's voice echoed in the empty hall. "The knowledge and treasures hidden here will be priceless to those who are pure and brave in heart."

As the Saint waved her hand, a soft light poured down from the dome, illuminating a transparent crystal ball in the center. Inside the ball floated a golden ancient book that seemed to have its own consciousness, slowly rotating.

"This is the Chronicle of Light, which records the history of the struggle between light and darkness since ancient times, as well as the true secrets of the Heart of Light." The Saint explained, "Only the heirs of the Heart of Light can read its contents and learn new ways to fight against darkness."

Zhao Ming heard this and walked forward without hesitation, reaching out to touch the crystal ball. Instantly, the words seemed to come alive and appeared directly in his mind. He saw battles that he had never known about in the past, the desperate struggle between the messenger of light and the creature of darkness, and the mysterious power hidden in the depths of the universe.

"We must find the 'Land of Starlight'. It is the battlefield where the final battle between light and darkness took place in ancient times. It is said that it contains the ultimate weapon that can change the world." Zhao Ming excitedly recounted what he saw in the book, and everyone showed expressions of surprise and excitement on their faces.

"The Starry Land... sounds both far away and mysterious." Xu Mo pondered, "We need a detailed map and all the information about the place."

"I have ordered preparations," the Saint nodded, "In addition, I have also invited an ancient guide who knows the secret path leading there."

Just as everyone was preparing to discuss further, a white-haired old man slowly walked into the temple, his eyes revealing the accumulation of years and the light of wisdom. "I am Salman, a former companion of the Messenger of Light, and I know the Starry Land very well." The old man's deep voice sounded, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Time is running out, we have to set off immediately." Eun Jung stood up with a firm look in her eyes, "Every delay may give the Dark Night forces a chance to breathe."

Thus, a new adventure unfolds under the feet of Zhao Ming and others. With the blessing of the saint and the guidance of Salman, they embark on an unknown journey to the Land of Starlight. On the way, they not only have to face many tests from nature, but also have to beware of the pursuit of the Dark Night Cult and the older and more evil forces lurking in the dark.

"Everything we do is for this world." Zhao Ming said to his partners one night while sitting around a campfire, "No matter what challenges lie ahead, as long as we stick together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

"You...how come you are here?" Zhao Ming was shocked and more confused.

The warrior turned around and smiled twistedly: "I am the ancestor of the Zhao family, and also a sealed sinner. For a long time, I have been waiting for this moment to use your blood to unlock my shackles."

"It turns out that the loosening of the seal was not accidental, but you have been guiding it." Xu Mo frowned and quickly analyzed the situation.

"Yes, now, I will take back the power that belongs to me, and no one can stop me!" The ancestor gathered dark energy in his hands, ready to seize the seal core.

"Father once warned me that the seal is not only to restrain you, but also to protect the world." Zhao Ming stepped forward, and the heart of light in his body responded to his will, emitting a dazzling light, "I can't let you destroy all this."

A fierce battle ensues, light and darkness collide, and the world changes color. In this battle, everyone spares no effort, not only to guard the seal, but also to protect the world they cherish and each other.

Just when Zhao Ming's fight with the ancestor reached a climax, Eun Jing discovered a hidden mechanism, which was connected to an ancient spell that could seal the ancestor again.

A sudden piercing scream pierced the sky, and soon afterwards, a group of members of the Dark Night Cult, dressed in black robes and wearing hideous masks, appeared around the battlefield like ghosts and surrounded them.

His black robe was embroidered with dark red talismans, and it was obvious that he had an extraordinary status.

"Apostle of Dark Night, your ambition will eventually destroy you!" The saint responded coldly, and the light in her hand gathered into a dazzling sword of light, ready to fight.
