The arrival of the national teacher with reinforcements gave everyone hope.

"Hurry, save the princess first!" the imperial teacher shouted.

The soldiers acted quickly and worked together to move the boulder that was pressing down on Lin Yuwei's legs. Lin Yuwei stood up despite the pain and looked at the mysterious man with a determined look.

"Today, I will never let you succeed!" Lin Yuwei said angrily.

The mysterious man was not afraid at all and sneered: "Humph, do you think you can stop me like this?"

After saying that, he activated more mechanisms again, and the situation in the cave became more dangerous.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Master clasped his hands together, muttered something, and cast a powerful spell to form a protective shield, which temporarily blocked the falling rocks and incoming arrows.

"Everyone be careful and move closer to the exit!" The national master commanded everyone.

Lin Yuwei limped in the middle of the team, her heart full of anger and unwillingness.

Just as they were about to approach the exit, the mysterious man suddenly threw out a black bead, which instantly released a powerful dark force, blocking the exit.

"This is witchcraft!" a soldier shouted in horror.

Lin Yuwei frowned and said, "Don't panic, let's think of a solution together."

At this time, the queen also recovered some of her strength. She said, "Perhaps we can work together to break this dark force."

Everyone nodded, and under the leadership of the national teacher, everyone concentrated their energy and gathered their own strength.

Lin Yuwei felt the endless power around her and shouted loudly: "Now is the time, let's work together!"

Everyone roared in unison, and powerful force rushed towards the dark force.

After a fierce confrontation, the dark forces were finally dispelled and the exit reappeared.

Everyone quickly fled the cave, but the mysterious man also took the opportunity to slip away.

"We can't let him run away!" Lin Yuwei said.

The Imperial Master stopped her and said, "Princess, please ensure the Queen's safety first, and then we can plan the pursuit."

After returning to the palace, Lin Yuwei's injuries were no longer serious after treatment, and the queen gradually recovered her spirit after resting.

"Yuwei, this time it's all thanks to you." The queen held Lin Yuwei's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.

Lin Yuwei said: "Mother, as long as you are safe, it's fine. But the identity and purpose of the mysterious man have not been found out yet, so we can't take it lightly."

The queen nodded and said, "You are right. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

At this time, a minister came to report: "Princess, during our investigation, we found that there are other officials in the court who are involved with the cult."

Lin Yuwei's expression was stern: "Keep digging, we must find all these people."

After an in-depth investigation, more and more clues surfaced.

It turns out that the cult's goal was not only to seize the treasures in the palace, they also attempted to overthrow the dynasty and establish their own rule.

As for those officials who colluded with cults, some were tempted by profits, while others were controlled by threats.

Lin Yuwei knew very well that in order to completely eradicate the cult, these traitors must be dealt with first.

So she discussed a careful plan with the imperial teacher.

They decided to hold a banquet in the palace and invite all suspicious officials to attend.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing, and everyone was laughing.

Lin Yuwei secretly observed the actions of every official.

Suddenly, an official left the meeting with an excuse.

Lin Yuwei gave a wink, and the soldiers who had been lying in ambush immediately followed.

Soon after, the soldiers brought the official back.

"Princess, we found letters with the cult in his room," the soldier said.

The official turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Lin Yuwei stood up and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"

The official trembled and said, "Princess, spare my life. I was forced."

Lin Yuwei was unmoved: "Take him away and interrogate him strictly."

After interrogation, the official gave out more accomplices.

Lin Yuwei ordered all these people to be arrested.

However, just when they thought the situation was under control, shocking news came.

A large number of cult followers were found in a temple outside the city. They seemed to be preparing a bigger conspiracy...
