...As Tan Yue and his group left the mysterious mountaintop, the road ahead gradually became clearer, yet full of unknowns. Along the way, stories about their heroic deeds quickly spread, becoming a topic of conversation for people.

"Have you heard? General Tan and his men got the legendary key. It's incredible!" In the teahouse, a big man with a beard excitedly slapped the table, and the crowd around him was in an uproar.

"Yes, General Tan and his men are like living legends, always able to find hope in desperate situations." An embroiderer put down her needlework, her eyes sparkling with admiration, "I really hope to see them in person."

"What do you think, how powerful is the key? Can it defeat those guys hiding in the dark?" The young blacksmith stopped hammering, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of curiosity.

Just as people were talking about this, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the village entrance, interrupting all the discussions. A messenger rode a dusty horse and galloped over. He shouted loudly: "Make way, General Tan has urgent news to spread to every corner!"

The villagers immediately swarmed over, surrounded the messenger, and started asking questions.

"Don't be impatient, listen to me!" The messenger cleared his throat, his face serious, "General Tan and his men have discovered the secret base of the Shadow Organization. It is said that there are evil instruments that can control people's hearts hidden there. They are about to launch a decisive battle. For the sake of the light of the world, General Tan calls on all people with lofty ideals to unite and fight against the darkness together!"

The crowd was in uproar, shocked and excited. An old hunter patted his chest and said proudly: "General Tan has given an order, how can we not obey? If he hadn't saved the village, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

"Yes, we have to do something and can't let them fight alone." Several young people were eager to try and encouraged each other.

On the other side, Tan Yue and his four companions were galloping on the vast plain, with the righteous warriors gathering behind them, ready to go to support them. The sunlight shone on their resolute faces, reflecting their unyielding faith.

"General Tan, this operation is extremely risky. Are you sure you want everyone to take the risk with us?" The princess looked at Tan Yue worriedly, as she knew very well how dangerous this trip was.

Tan Yue looked back, his eyes warm and firm: "We are not alone. Justice and light are the desire of everyone's heart. As long as we fight side by side, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Yun Fu gently stroked the book on her waist, her wise eyes flashing with strategy: "Also, I already have a preliminary plan. We must not only destroy that base, but also completely eradicate the threat of the Shadow Organization."

The little egg smiled confidently, "Don't worry, with a few of us here, how can those mice hiding in the dark escape?"

Under the setting sun, the backs of a group of people are stretched out. They carry the hopes and expectations of countless people and move forward resolutely towards the unknown challenges.

As they approached their destination, a huge valley appeared before their eyes. The valley was gloomy and depressing, as if it was the entrance to another world. Tan Yue pulled the reins and took a deep breath: "This is it, are you ready?"

Everyone nodded silently, with determination and fearlessness in their eyes. At this moment, a deep and mysterious voice echoed in the valley, as if to express "welcome" to their arrival.

"Haha, Tan Yue, I didn't expect you guys would really dare to come. Looks like we have to end this here today..."

...Hearing this, Tan Yue frowned, his eyes were sharp as torches, scanning the surroundings for potential dangers. "Come out, Shadow, stop hiding. It's time to end this."

A gust of wind blew through the valley, and the leaves rustled. Then, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows. He was wearing a black robe, his face hidden under the cloak, revealing only a pair of unfathomable eyes.

"General Tan, you are indeed extraordinary. You can actually detect my existence. However, do you think you can change anything with just a few people?" The low voice sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm.

The little egg on the side sneered, "Humph, you are so arrogant. Although we are few in number, justice and light will always be on our side. Your tricks are nothing but child's play for us."

"Really? Then let me see how powerful your so-called 'justice' is." The man in black robe waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force suddenly emerged, making the atmosphere around him even more oppressive.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed: "Look! The sky!"

Everyone looked up and saw that the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds and thunder rumbled, as if the God was also angry about the impending battle.

The big man in the teahouse just arrived at this time, panting and squeezing into the crowd, with a look of shock on his face: "This...what's going on? I just saw this strange phenomenon when I left the village. Will General Tan and the others be okay?"

Xiu Niang clenched her hands, her eyes full of worry: "They will be fine, General Tan and his men will definitely be able to defeat evil."

The blacksmith patted the big man on the shoulder and said firmly: "Yes, all we can do is trust them and wait for good news."

In the valley, the battle was about to break out. Yun Fu unfolded the scroll in her hand, and a light flashed. A light curtain appeared out of thin air, blocking the first wave of dark magic.

"Everyone, disperse and fight on your own!" Tan Yue shouted, drew out his long sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the man in black robe. He rushed into the enemy formation as fast as lightning.

The princess was not to be outdone. She had a bow and arrow in her hand, and every arrow was accurately shot at the members of the Shadow Organization, clearing obstacles for the team.

The battle was extremely fierce, but whenever Tan Yue and his men got into trouble, new support would always come in. They were the righteous men from all over the country who had responded to Tan Yue's call before. They either held swords or drew bows, and went forward one after another, just for the light and justice in their hearts.

"General Tan, we are here!" A young man in cloth shouted loudly. Behind him was a team of militiamen dressed in the same attire. There was an unyielding flame burning in everyone's eyes.

A warm feeling surged in Tan Yue's heart. He knew that this was not just his battle, but a resonance of everyone's yearning for light.

"Okay! Let's fight side by side and defeat the darkness!" Tan Yue's voice was like a war drum, inspiring everyone.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, an unexpected turn of events occurred. In the shadow behind the black-robed man, a tiny crack gradually widened, and a deep voice that was different from the black-robed man rang out: "Enough, this farce should end."

As the crack continued to expand, a beam of holy light penetrated and illuminated the entire valley. An old man in a white robe slowly walked out from the light, his eyes were kind but majestic.

"Teacher!" Tan Yue and the others were surprised, but more than that, they were delighted. It turned out that this legendary mentor, who was regarded by everyone, finally showed up at the critical moment.
