Su Yao and her companions set off toward the Phantom Forest, carrying the "Wrath of the Sun" with hearts full of hope. Along the way, they were well aware that the Dark Forces would not give up so easily and would certainly set up multiple obstacles to hinder them. Sure enough, they had not traveled far when they were ambushed by the Black-robed Men once again. These Black-robed Men had clearly received stronger reinforcements; their spells were more sinister, and their coordination was far more seamless.
Su Yao held the "Wrath of the Stars," the blade shimmering with starlight, clashing violently against the dark spells of the Black-robed Men. With every swing, she created ripples of Star Power that dissipated the surrounding darkness. Liu Yiyi and Leng Xuan moved like agile birds, weaving through the ranks of the Black-robed Men, their magic treasures flashing as they struck precisely at the enemies' vital points. Lin Yu stood in the rear, channeling the "Bright Holy Cauldron" with all his might to maintain an unbreakable shield for the group, while simultaneously seeking flaws in the Black-robed Men's techniques to deliver a lethal blow with his magic treasure.
After a fierce battle, Su Yao and her companions successfully repelled the Black-robed Men, but they realized that the road ahead would be even more arduous. Daring not to show the slightest slack, they quickened their pace toward the Phantom Forest.
