Princess Lily Arrives

Lily and Mo Li arrived at the dungeon and found the man in black looking at them coldly. There was a sly glint in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.

"Tell me, what do you know?" Lily asked directly and bluntly.

The man in black smiled and said slowly, "Do you really think you can solve this secret?"

Mo Li frowned, "Stop talking nonsense! We don't have time to go around in circles with you."

The man in black sighed, a trace of helplessness on his face, "Well, I don't want to stay here anymore. I do know something about that power, but I need you to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?" Lily asked warily.

"Let me go." The man in black said without hesitation.

Lily and Mo Li looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons in their minds. Finally, Lily nodded, "Okay, if your information is useful, we will consider it."

The man in black smiled with satisfaction. "Well, listen carefully. There is a secret map under the palace. That map leads the way to the source of power. You need to find it."

"Underground?" Lily asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I was also looking for that power and discovered this secret by accident." The man in black said calmly.

Lily nodded, "Okay, we'll go find it. You better pray your information is true."

After they left the dungeon, they immediately gathered a team of guards and began to search for the secret map under the palace. In the basement of the palace, they finally found an ancient map behind a long-dusty bookshelf.

"That's it!" Lily said excitedly, "This map looks very old, but the markings on it are very clear."

Mo Li studied the map carefully and found a secret location marked on it, not far from the palace. That place was called "Shadowless Valley".

"Shadowless Valley? It sounds mysterious." Mo Li said.

"Yes, we must go immediately." Lily said firmly.

They took the map and set out secretly to the Shadowless Valley. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, but both of them were filled with tension and anticipation.

After arriving at Shadowless Valley, they found that it was indeed full of mystery. Surrounded by mountains, the valley was shrouded in mist, as if it was isolated from the world. Lily and Mo Li carefully followed the instructions on the map and went deep into the valley.

After walking for a while, they found an ancient stone door with complicated symbols carved on it. Lily tried to decipher these symbols, but found that they seemed to be some kind of ancient code.

"These symbols may be the key to opening the stone door." Lily said.

Mo Li nodded, "Let's try to crack them."

The two began to analyze the arrangement and combination of symbols, and after some effort, they finally found the correct solution. The stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.

They walked into the passage and found it was filled with various traps and mechanisms. Lily and Mo Li carefully avoided these traps and finally came to a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge crystal ball, which is flashing with strange light, as if it contains endless power.

"This is the source of power!" Lily exclaimed.

Just as they were about to study the crystal ball further, a sudden gust of wind blew in. A mysterious man in a black robe appeared in front of them, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Do you think you can get this power easily?" the man in black robe sneered.

Lily and Mo Li immediately took a defensive stance, ready to fight. The man in black robe waved his staff, and a strong light shot towards the crystal ball. The crystal ball began to vibrate violently, as if it was about to burst out with powerful energy.

"We have to stop him!" Lily shouted.

Mo Li quickly rushed towards the man in black robes, and the two started a fierce battle. Lily tried to stabilize the energy of the crystal ball, but found that it was becoming more and more out of control.

At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly burst out with a strong light, covering everyone. Lily felt herself being pulled by a powerful force, as if she was about to be torn apart.

When the light faded, Lily found that she, Mo Li, and the man in black robes were all teleported to a completely unfamiliar place. It was a desolate valley, surrounded by deathly silence, as if time had stopped flowing.

"Where is this?" Mo Li asked in surprise.

"This may be the true source of power." Lily said, "We must find a way back."

The man in black robe sneered, "Do you think you can escape? This power will devour everything."

Lily ignored him and pulled Mo Li forward. She knew that they had to find a way to deal with this power in order to save their world.

They traveled through the desolate valley and found an ancient altar, which was covered with strange runes, as if recording some ancient rituals.

"These runes may be the key to the seal's power," Lily said.

Mo Li nodded, "We must try."

They followed the instructions of the runes and began the sealing ceremony. The black-robed man tried to stop them, but was repelled by Lily and Mo Li. As the ceremony progressed, the energy in the valley gradually subsided, as if everything had returned to calm.

"We succeeded!" Lily breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as they were about to leave, the altar suddenly emitted a strong light, teleporting them back to the palace again.

"We are back!" Mo Li said in surprise.

Lily smiled and nodded, "Yes, but this is just the beginning. We still have a lot to do."

They know that although the threat of power has been temporarily resolved, there are still more challenges waiting for them in the future. And they will continue to meet these challenges and protect their world.
