Legend of the Embroiderer

Li Zhao and others stood where they were, staring blankly at the direction the old man had left, grief surging in their hearts like a tide.

They were immersed in the great grief brought by the loss of this highly respected, brave and fearless old man, and could not extricate themselves.

The grim situation before them was like a ruthless blade, cutting off their thoughts of being overly immersed in sadness.

Li Zhao tightly held the gem that the old man had exchanged for his life, as if he could feel the high hopes and deep instructions the old man had placed on them before his death.

His knuckles turned pale from exerting too much force, and there was a dull pain in his joints, but this did not affect his firm belief at all.

At this moment, he secretly made a vow: no matter how rugged and bumpy the road ahead was, and no matter how many thorns and obstacles it was, he would move forward bravely to complete the old man's unfulfilled wish and completely break the terrible conspiracy known as the "Final Plan."

Su Mengyao, who was standing by, was also in a heavy mood. She slowly stretched out her trembling hands and carefully put away the precious ancient book.

Every movement was so gentle, for fear of damaging the book that carried countless hopes and secrets.

She raised her head and looked at everyone with a firm gaze. Although her voice was not loud, it was as loud and powerful as a bell:

"The elder sacrificed his own life to give us a glimmer of hope. We must not let him down! We must find more gems and save the people of this world from suffering."

The Crown Princess, who had been silent all this time, nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Su Mengyao's words.

After a fierce battle, the Crown Princess looked a little haggard and tired, but her beautiful eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

It is a determination to never give up and never surrender, as if no difficulties can knock it down.

After careful discussion, they decided to rush to the palace first to search for the gem that was said to be hidden deep in the palace.

The palace is heavily guarded, with security as tight as an iron barrel. Furthermore, a mysterious organization lurks in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment. This adventure is fraught with peril. However, Li Zhao and his companions remain undaunted and resolutely embark on their journey.

The night was as dark as ink, gently enveloping the palace, and there was silence all around.

Li Zhao and others were dressed in dark night clothes, with light figures, like ghosts in the dark night, sneaking into the palace silently.

Along the way, they held their breath and took every step carefully, as if walking on a knife edge, for fear of making any noise and disturbing the enemy lurking in the dark.

Finally, they arrived at the palace mentioned in ancient books. This palace stood tall and majestic, showing the majesty of the royal family.

But at this moment, the palace was filled with an indescribable strange atmosphere, as if there were pairs of invisible eyes watching them in the dark.

Li Zhao and his companions, wary of the situation, slowly entered the palace. Inside, a dazzling array of rare treasures awaited them, but they ignored them, focused on one goal: finding the mysterious gem.

Just as they were concentrating on searching, they heard a loud "bang" and the palace door slammed shut with a dull sound, like the sound of a death knell.

A group of men in black rushed out from all around. They were agile and surrounded Li Zhao and others like ghosts.

The leading man in black curled his lips into a sinister smile and sneered, "You've really fallen into our trap. Today is the day you die!"

Li Zhao and others were shocked. They didn't expect that the mysterious organization was so cunning and set a trap here so early.

Li Zhao instantly drew his sword, its blade flashing with cold light. He glared at the man in black with eyes wide open, and shouted, "You think you can stop us with just this little trick? That's wishful thinking!"

After saying this, he rushed towards the men in black like an arrow from a bow. Not wanting to be left behind, Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess followed suit, their eyes filled with determination as they engaged in a thrilling battle with the men in black.

There were a large number of men in black, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts, with each move being fierce and ruthless. Li Zhao and others gradually could not withstand them and fell into trouble.

Just when they were about to run out of strength, Su Mengyao suddenly remembered the method she had used to control the monster.

She was extremely anxious and hurriedly took out the ancient book from her bosom. She flipped through it quickly and finally found the key record.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner tension, and made a series of strange noises outside the palace.

After a while, the huge monster appeared outside the palace as expected.

Its body is as huge as a mountain, and it exudes a terrifying aura.

As soon as the monster saw the man in black in the palace, it let out a deafening roar, the sound seemed to be able to shatter a person's soul.

Then, like a chariot out of control, it rushed into the palace with great momentum.

The men in black were frightened by this sudden change and panicked. Their originally neat formation was instantly in chaos and they fled in all directions.

The addition of the monsters instantly reversed the situation. Li Zhao and others took advantage of the situation to launch an attack. The weapons in their hands flashed in the light and shadow, and the men in black were beaten back step by step.

Just when they thought they were about to escape the predicament, a familiar and terrifying figure appeared high up in the palace.

The leader of the mysterious organization looked down at the battle below with a strange smile on his face. That smile seemed to come from the abyss of hell and was filled with endless chill.

He waved his hands, and his movements carried a mysterious power. Dense mechanisms instantly appeared on the walls of the palace, and countless sharp arrows shot towards Li Zhao and others and the monsters like raindrops.

Li Zhao and others dodged in a hurry, their bodies weaving between the sharp arrows, which was extremely thrilling.

The monster also waved its huge claws, trying to resist the attack of the sharp arrows, but there were too many sharp arrows, as dense as a swarm of locusts.

Just when they were gradually finding it difficult to hold on, Li Zhao keenly discovered an entrance to a secret passage in a corner of the palace.

Without thinking too much, he shouted loudly: "Hurry, go in from there!" After shouting, he rushed towards the secret passage first.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess followed closely behind, their steps hurried and flustered.

The monster rushed into the secret passage behind them. The secret passage was narrow and dim, and they could not see their hands in front of their faces. They could only grope their way forward, and every step was full of unknown dangers.

Behind them, people from the mysterious organization were chasing them relentlessly, shooting sharp arrows at them from time to time. The arrows flew past their bodies, making sharp whistling sounds.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally escaped the pursuit of the mysterious organization.

Everyone stopped, breathing heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat.

When they looked around, they found themselves in a huge underground cave.

The cave was filled with a strange fog, so thick that it seemed to swallow people up, making it impossible to see the surroundings clearly.

Li Zhao and others moved forward cautiously, testing every step for fear of falling into a trap.

Suddenly, Su Mengyao's eyes lit up. She felt a powerful force surging in the depths of the cave. The force seemed to have life, calling them.

She said excitedly: "I feel it, the gem is probably here!"

After hearing this, a spark of hope ignited in everyone's hearts, and their originally heavy footsteps became lighter and they quickened their pace forward.

When they approached the place where the power was surging, they saw a huge magic circle.

In the magic circle, a gem emitting mysterious light is suspended in the air, shining like a dream.

But around the gem, there were all kinds of powerful restrictions and traps. Those restrictions flashed with strange light, as if warning them not to get close.

Li Zhao and others looked at the magic circle in front of them, their hearts filled with doubts and worries.

They didn't know how to get the gem safely, and they were not sure whether the mysterious organization had set a trap in the magic circle in advance.

Just as they were hesitating, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the cave. The laughter echoed in the cave, making people feel creepy.

"You're finally here! You'll never get this gem!"

Along with laughter, a group of mysterious figures slowly emerged from the mist. They exuded a powerful aura and were obviously masters of the mysterious organization.

Li Zhao and others gripped their weapons tightly, their palms full of sweat, but their eyes were filled with determination.

They knew that facing such a powerful enemy and a magic array full of unknowns, the battle would be extremely difficult and the chances of winning would be slim.

But they will never back down. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, they will fight hard for the people of the world.

This adventure, which concerns the fate of the world, seems to have fallen into a deeper despair. Whether they can find a way to break the deadlock and successfully obtain the gems remains unknown...
