Lin Ziyu focused his gaze intently on the ancient stone tablet. After reading the words on it, he slowly turned his head, his eyes gleaming with thought as he looked at Long Yan standing beside him. He said softly, "Brother Yan, this stone tablet clearly states that to activate the formation, you need five elements of spirit stones, fifty of each attribute, and all five elements must be activated simultaneously for success."

After hearing this, Long Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "We have the five element spirit stones. The black dragon is fire-type, the fluffy ball is gold-type, and I am water-type. Ziyu, let the magic bamboo out; it's wood-type."

Lin Ziyu nodded and said, "Well, it just so happens that I use earth-type spiritual energy, so I have all five attributes." After that, he called out the magic bamboo. (The magic bamboo is the spirit of the weapon Lin Xin brought into Lin Ziyu's space)

Long Yan pulled out five elemental spirit stones from his storage space, each emitting a faint, mysterious aura. He placed the five spirit stones of varying attributes in the corresponding positions of the five elements within the teleportation array. Then, with resolute expressions, Long Yan, Ling Ziyu, and the others stepped into the teleportation array. They each took their place in the corresponding position for their attribute, simultaneously infusing their corresponding attributes into the teleportation array's core. Spiritual energy, like ethereal flames, clear waters, and the profound power of the earth, instantly converged and fused, successfully activating the ancient and powerful teleportation array.

A multicolored light quickly enveloped them like countless ribbons, so dazzling that it seemed as if the entire space was stained with vibrant colors. A wave of intense dizziness washed over them, forcing them to squint slightly. As the dizziness gradually subsided, Lin Ziyu and Long Yan slowly opened their eyes, only to be greeted by the temple's hall.

The Demon Dragon and the Demon Bamboo were like two curious children, constantly looking around, their eyes gleaming with excitement. Seeing the sacred hall before them, they felt an inexplicable awe.

The Demon Dragon walked up to Long Yan and asked with a tone of deep curiosity, "Boss, where are we? I feel the spiritual energy here is very strong."

Lin Ziyu and Long Yan looked at each other with joy in their eyes. They left World of Warcraft and returned to the temple.

Long Yan replied: "This is the Space Temple, let's go out." After that, he pulled Lin Ziyu out of the temple.

At this moment, outside Lin Ziyu's room in the Sifang Pavilion, Long Shen asked solemnly, "A'si, hasn't His Highness appeared yet?" He looked exhausted. They had already searched the Imperial City thoroughly, but they hadn't found His Highness or Young Master Lin. It was the coldest season, and the temperature was very low. Orcs without fire psychic powers would have a hard time surviving outside the Imperial City for even an hour.

Long Si's eyes revealed deep worry and anxiety as she replied, "No, I've been guarding here the entire time. Your Highness and Young Master Ziyu haven't appeared since they entered the room."

Long Shen sighed. More than ten days had passed. Now the news of His Highness's sudden and mysterious disappearance had spread throughout the imperial city.

Rumors about Young Master Lin flooded the city like a flood. The most outrageous was that he was a human spy, secretly plotting to capture the Crown Prince. Others claimed he was an invader, otherwise how could he possess an antidote for the invader's poison? These rumors spread rapidly throughout the streets and alleys of the Imperial City, plunging the city into chaos and suspicion. Most orcs believed them, their faces filled with fear and anger, and they threatened to attack Lin Ziyu. Only a few remained skeptical, secretly speculating about the truth and refusing to believe that Lin Ziyu was an invader. Regardless, this series of events completely shattered the once peaceful life of the Imperial City.

"Third brother, have you found out who spread the rumor?" Long Si asked worriedly.

"What rumor?" Long Yan's calm voice sounded slowly behind Long Shen and Long Si, as if carrying a steady force that made people want to obey involuntarily.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu had just come out of the space when they heard the rumors mentioned by Long Si.

When Long Shen and Long Si heard Long Yan's voice, they turned around, their eyes instantly shining with joy, and they shouted in unison: "Your Highness..."

Long Shen stepped forward and explained softly, "There are some bad rumors about Young Master Zi Yu. Some say he is a spy of the human race and that he kidnapped His Highness. Some also say he is an invader because he can make an antidote to the invaders' poison. These rumors have spread in the imperial city, and everyone is a little panicked." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in his tone.

Long Yan's eyes grew cold, knowing full well the destructive power of these rumors. He looked at Long Shen and Long Si and said in a cold tone, "Investigate with all your might. Who spread the rumor first?"

Long Shen and Long Si said in a deep voice, "Yes." Then they turned and left to investigate the rumors.

"Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this." Long Yan turned around and hugged Lin Ziyu to comfort him.

Lin Ziyu nodded, indicating that he understood. He said softly, "I believe you."

"Let's go see the emperor and mother now to resolve the matter of me being captured." Long Yan pulled Lin Ziyu together, activated the space spiritual power, and teleported to the Dragon Emperor Palace.

They suddenly appeared in the Dragon Queen's palace. The Dragon Queen was stunned for a moment. She glared at Long Yan and asked gently, "What's wrong with you? Where have you been these days?"

They both bowed to the Dragon Queen and said, "Mother and Father."

"Father and Mother, Ziyu and I went on an adventure to a secret realm. We were suddenly transported there, and we didn't have time to inform Long Si and the others," Long Yan explained. "Father and Mother, what are these rumors out there? How did they spread that Ziyu could refine a detoxifying pill that could cure the invaders' poison?"

The Dragon Queen said: "I am not very clear about these things. Your father knows about them. He will be here soon." As she spoke, the Dragon Emperor appeared.

The Dragon Emperor walked in and saw Long Yan's brother Lin Ziyu, and asked: "Yan'er, where have you been these days?"

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu saluted the Dragon Emperor and said, "Father."

"Father, Ziyu and I went on an adventure in the secret realm," Long Yan explained again. He saw the Dragon Emperor and asked, "Father, what about the rumors?"

The Dragon King nodded. "Hmm... I sent people to investigate the rumors, but I only found some partial information. The first people to discuss these two things were some bird tribes."

"Thank you, father. I will personally investigate the next matter. Father, mother, please don't tell anyone that we are back." Long Yan said solemnly.

The Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

Long Yan held Lin Ziyu's hand and said, "Father, Mother. We'll take our leave first." Then he used space power to return to the Prince's Mansion.

"Zi Yu, you take a rest first. I'll go investigate the rumor." He decided to start with the person who spread the rumor. With his ability, it would not be difficult to find the mastermind behind it.

At the same time, Lin Ziyu was also thinking about how to deal with it. He couldn't let these nonsense affect his reputation in the imperial city, and he couldn't let Long Yan be implicated.

A storm is about to break out, but can Long Yan and Lin Ziyu quell the rumors and restore the truth?

Within the majestic and grand residence of the Kong Clan in the Imperial City, a vast and spacious room stood quietly. At that moment, a maid's voice, clear and melodious yet cautious, slowly rang out: "Your Highness, the rumor that Young Master Lin is a human spy and invader has spread widely throughout the Imperial City, and everyone is talking about it."

Upon hearing this, Kong Mingzhu's smile widened, her eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light. She parted her red lips and slowly uttered, "Haha... Great, very good. Go down and claim your reward." Then, she tilted her head back slightly and leaned back in her luxurious chair, her mind racing. She pondered: Long Yan, and Lin Ziyu. I, Kong Mingzhu, will not let you off easily. Lin Ziyu, whether you're a human spy or an invader, either one is enough to completely destroy you. Humph, let's see how Long Yan resolves this thorny situation. Can he turn the tide and protect you, or will he plunge you into an irretrievable state?
