Empty the scumbag's family assets and exile him!

Leah smiled gently, with an unyielding light in her eyes. "Besides, we are not alone. There are still many people in this world who believe in light."

…At this point in the conversation, the night was already deep. The tavern gradually became quiet, leaving only a few whispers and the gentle hum of the night wind outside the window. In such a calm yet tense night, Yun Xi looked at his companions, and an unprecedented warmth and strength surged in his heart.

"No matter what the future holds for us, as long as we are together, nothing is insurmountable." Her words were gentle but firm, as if they were a promise to her companions and an adherence to her own beliefs.

Outside the tavern, the young traveler who had once looked up at Yun Xi at the Sand Outpost was now standing on the street, looking at the place where they rested under the starry sky. There was also an eternal fire burning in his eyes.

"One day, I will stand beside you and together we will protect the light of this world." He made a silent vow in his heart, turned around and disappeared into the night, embarking on his own journey.

…The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the stone road of Phantom City, Yun Xi and his group had already appeared on the winding mountain road leading to the Temple of Time. The villagers along the way cast admiring and slightly worried glances at them, and their whispers were like the morning breeze, following Yun Xi and his group forward.

"Look, that's Yun Xi, the descendant of the legendary hero." A farmer murmured to his wife beside him, his eyes full of respect.

"I hope they can succeed. Our children are still young and we don't want them to live in the shadow." The woman gently stroked the cheek of the baby in her arms, her eyes revealing deep expectation.

...On the mountain road, an abandoned fortress became a temporary resting place. Yun Xi sat beside a weathered stone tablet, flipping through the yellowed ancient book, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes his eyes flickered, as if he had understood something.

"It is mentioned here that the entrance to the Temple of Time is hidden in the deepest part of the Misty Forest and can only be discovered by the guidance of a person with a pure heart." She looked up at Allen and Leah, her eyes full of determination.

Allen pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember the little girl named Mia in Sand Sentinel, who has a heart that is not polluted by the world. Maybe she is the person we need."

…A few hours later, after some twists and turns, Yun Xi and the others took Mia on their journey again. The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity about the unknown world, and her little hands tightly grasped the corner of Yun Xi's clothes, as if she had found the most reliable shelter.

"Big sister, are we really going to look for the Temple of Time? Will there be elves and giants there?" Mia's innocent words brought long-lost smiles to everyone's faces.

"Maybe, but first we have to find a way into the temple." Yun Xi answered gently, her eyes flashing with longing for the future.

…At the edge of the misty forest, the fog was lingering, and everything in sight was a chaos. Encouraged by Yun Xi, Mia bravely walked into the depths of the mist. Her innocent heart seemed to have magical power, dispelling the mist in front of her, and a hidden path appeared.

"Look, there is a road!" Leah exclaimed, and the team followed, and everyone's steps became more determined.

…Just as the group was walking along the path deeper into the forest, suddenly the trees around them began to twist and grow, forming a huge hedge maze, as if consciously blocking their progress.

"What's going on?" Allen looked around vigilantly, with the sword in his hand unsheathed.

"It seems that the dark forces will not let us get close to the temple easily." Yun Xi tightly grasped the Key of Time, the light on it was constantly increasing, trying to dispel the haze around.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Mia hummed a nursery rhyme softly. The pure singing voice was like a sweet rain that moistened the land shrouded in darkness. The hedges of the maze actually slowly parted with the singing, forming a passage.

"What a miracle..." A passing traveler happened to witness this scene and was so surprised that he was speechless. He could only watch Yun Xi and his group pass through the maze and gradually disappear from his sight.

...When the setting sun dyed the sky red, Yun Xi and others finally stood in front of the door of the Temple of Time. It was a magnificent building interwoven with light and shadow, ancient and mysterious, as if it was a monument solidified by time itself.

"We did it." Allen sighed, looking at Yun Xi with admiration in his eyes.

"Not yet, the real challenge has just begun." Yun Xi chuckled and pushed open the door of the temple. A dazzling light overflowed from it, enveloping the four people.

…Inside the temple, an ancient prophecy echoed in the empty hall: "When the Key of Light returns to its place, the battle between light and darkness will reach its peak. A true hero must find hope in despair, and only then can he usher in the dawn of a new era."

"No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as there is light in our hearts, we will have nothing to fear." Yun Xi's voice echoed in the temple, firm and powerful.

…And at the other end of the Phantom City, the young traveler was gathering with more and more like-minded people. They were talking about Yun Xi’s legend, with the fire of hope gleaming in their eyes.

"Yun Xi and the others are already taking action, so we should also get ready and fight for light!" The young traveler raised his arms and shouted, drawing a warm response.

The story continues in the interweaving of light and darkness, and everyone writes their own legendary chapter in their own way. And in this land illuminated by hope, the biggest suspense is:

"When light and darkness collide head-on, who can become the light that rewrites fate?" This sentence is not only a question about the future, but also the deepest expectation of everyone's heart. ...Inside the Temple of Time, the light gradually converged, revealing a vast space. In the center floated an ancient and dazzling crystal ball, emitting a soft light, which seemed to contain endless knowledge and power. Yun Xi and the other four, including little Mia, could not help but hold their breath and stare, feeling a tremor from the depths of their souls.

“This… is the Heart of Time?” Leah asked softly, the light reflected in her eyes, flashing with incredible colors.

"It should be." Yun Xi walked forward slowly, each step seemed extremely heavy, as if stepping on the dust of history. "Only by combining the Key of Time with the Heart of Time can we uncover the secrets of the past and the future and save our world."

Just as Yun Xi stretched out her trembling hand to touch the crystal ball, a burst of cold laughter suddenly echoed in the temple, piercing the solemn silence.

"Haha, you are indeed the descendant of a hero. You can actually find this place." A man in a black robe walked out of the shadows, his face hidden under the hood, only his eyes were as cold as stars.
