Just as tensions were rising again, a gentle yet authoritative voice suddenly reached everyone's ears. "Don't panic, everyone. Stay calm and face this enemy together." It was the girl in white; her gaze swept firmly across the crowd, bringing them an unprecedented sense of security.
Seeing this, the old man sneered: "You think you can defeat me with just a few people? What a joke!"

Chapter 543 Escaping the Encirclement of Three Warriors
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, suddenly, a huge point of light appeared in the distant sky, rapidly flying towards the ancestral hall. This unexpected scene caused everyone to stop what they were doing and stare in astonishment.
"What is that?" a little girl asked, tugging at her mother's hand, her eyes filled with curiosity about the unknown.
"Could it be... a deity descending?" an old man muttered to himself, a hint of unease in his voice.
At this moment filled with uncertainty, Su Ting turned to the mysterious girl in white beside him: Do you know what will happen next?
The girl in white smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Don't worry, they are allies. But before that, what we need to do is hold out until the very last moment."
"An ally?!" Su Ting felt a sense of relief despite some doubt. After all, in this critical moment, having more help was always a good thing.
Suddenly, the enormous point of light became clearer—it was a humanoid creature clad in armor and wielding a greatsword. He descended from the sky with astonishing speed, crashing heavily to the ground in front of the shrine, kicking up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, the burly man's eyes shone brightly, his gaze fixed on the black-robed figures, seemingly assessing the situation.
The villagers gasped in amazement at the sight. "My God, our savior has truly arrived!"
"Such a formidable guy..." A young man swallowed hard, his eyes filled with admiration. "He alone could take on dozens of us!"
Meanwhile, the men in black robes began to grow restless. They were already caught off guard by the resistance from the silver-armored warriors and Su Ting and his group, and now, with the addition of this mysterious, burly man who had descended from the sky, they were clearly feeling immense pressure.
The old man stared grimly at the newly appeared enemy: "It's you righteous people again... Fine, even if it costs me my life, I will obtain the power of that gem!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was forced to face a simultaneous attack from three sides: on one side, the newly appeared warrior was charging straight at him with his greatsword; on the other side, the silver-armored warrior was using his agile movements to weave through the battle and look for opportunities to attack; and finally, Su Ting was using the power of the gem to continuously release protective shields and counterattacks, making it difficult for his opponents to get close.
The entire ancestral hall, inside and out, seemed to have transformed into a boiling battlefield, each clash of weapons sending chills down one's spine. Although the villagers watching were worried for their own safety, they couldn't help but cheer for Su Ting and his men: "Go! You must defeat the evil forces!"
"Looking at the situation... can we relax a little?" An old man, seeing the situation gradually improving, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said to his companion.
Just when everyone thought victory was imminent, the old man suddenly roared, and a black aura erupted around his body. With a swift movement, he broke free from the three warriors' encirclement and reached out to the little girl hiding nearby…
The little girl screamed in terror, and just as she was about to fall into the old man's clutches, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed. It turned out that Su Ting had jumped up without hesitation to stand between them and forcefully pushed the gem in his hand towards the dark being.

Chapter 544 A Powerful Person Comes to the Rescue
A deafening explosion rang out, and everyone instinctively closed their eyes. A few seconds later, when they opened them again, they saw that the interior of the ancestral hall had been replaced by ruins, and standing in the center were Su Ting, panting but still standing tall, and the mysterious warrior who had just arrived.
As for the old man in black, he had vanished without a trace. It seemed he had been wiped out in the fierce collision just now.
The crowd rushed forward to inquire about the situation, especially concerned about the safety of the child who had been protected. "Are you alright, little girl? You scared me to death," a mother said gently, stroking her hair in comfort.
The child nodded: "Luckily, my older brother helped me... Thank you, big brother! You are my hero."
Upon hearing this, Su Ting smiled warmly: "Don't be afraid, as long as you are safe and sound. Besides, the real heroes are the result of our collective efforts."
The silver-armored warrior stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad, but we can't let our guard down completely yet. I wonder if we've really managed to completely defeat them this time."
Su Ting nodded, though exhausted, his eyes still filled with determination: "Yes, we must remain vigilant at all times." At this moment, the mysterious, burly man who had just joined the battle also slowly approached. His massive body stood among the crowd like a statue of a war god, each step causing the earth to tremble slightly.
“I am Su Ting Lei Ming,” his voice deep and powerful, “I come from the distant northern continent. I have been ordered to come and assist you in fighting this crisis.”
The surrounding villagers immediately erupted in another round of exclamations. "Wow, that's so cool!" a little boy exclaimed excitedly, pointing at him.
"The Northern Continent...it sounds quite famous?" a young girl asked the person next to her curiously.
Su Ting and the girl in white exchanged a smile. They knew that encountering such a powerful ally at this time was undoubtedly the best arrangement from heaven. "Thank you for your help, Su Ting," Su Ting said earnestly.
Just as the atmosphere was beginning to ease, an ominous aura returned from afar. The previously dissipated darkness coalesced once more, gradually forming a human-shaped shadow in a corner of the ancestral hall ruins.
A scream immediately erupted from the crowd: "My God, that old monster isn't dead yet!"
"What should we do now? We don't have the strength to continue fighting," a villager said worriedly, a hint of panic in his eyes.
Just at this critical moment, a melodious tune suddenly drifted from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw countless shimmering specks of light falling like stars, eventually coalescing into the image of a woman draped in a flowing robe and holding a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument). She slowly descended to the ground, radiating a soft yet mysterious light, like a fairy descending to earth.
"Don't be afraid," the woman said gently. "I am Lucia, and I am also one of the reinforcements who have come for this battle. Let us protect this land together."
These words caused another uproar. Many villagers were so excited they could hardly contain themselves, exclaiming, "This is wonderful! So many powerful people have come to our aid!"

Meanwhile, hope rekindled on the faces of the previously disheartened young people. "With their help, maybe we really can win!"
Just as the enemy was about to revert to its full form and launch an attack, Su Ting charged forward, sword in hand. "Don't even think about doing anything evil again!"
Lucia gently stroked the instrument in her hands, and melodious music floated out with the movement of her fingertips, transforming into an invisible force that coiled around the ever-changing black mist. At the same time, the girl in white also cast a spell to strengthen the defense of the entire area.
Seeing this, Su Ting was not to be outdone. He took a deep breath and raised the gem he was holding above his head. Instantly, the gem emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful shockwave erupted from within it, rushing directly towards the enemy camp.
This series of swift and efficient actions left onlookers stunned. "That's amazing!" "It's like something out of a movie, unbelievable!"
Just as everyone was holding their breath waiting for the result, something surprising happened—the once fearsome old man's avatar was completely dissipated by the simultaneous attack of several forces, leaving not even a trace.
When everything calmed down, everyone cheered. "We won! We really defeated the evil forces!"
Despite the euphoria of victory, some remained clear-headed. For example, the silver-armored warrior cautioned, "Don't relax yet; we must confirm that all threats have been eliminated."
At this moment, Lucia smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my music has healing and purifying abilities, and can detect any negative energy fluctuations within a radius of dozens of miles. For now, this place is perfectly safe."
Hearing this, everyone finally felt relieved. However, a new question immediately arose: "So what should we do now? Our homes have been destroyed like this..."
Looking at the devastated scene around him, Su Ting felt a surge of emotion. But then a resolute expression appeared on his face. "No matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we have faith, there is a solution. I believe that rebuilding our homes is only a matter of time."
After saying this, he looked at his two companions who were silently accompanying him—the loyal and brave silver-armored warrior, the beautiful and intelligent girl in white, and his new friends who, though only recently met, were equally courageous and wise. They would all be important sources of support on their future journey.
“That’s right!” Su Ting agreed loudly. “Moreover, with like-minded people like us working together, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!”
Before the words were finished, a gentle breeze suddenly swept by, carrying the fragrance of flowers and the vibrant scent of greenery from afar. It seemed to herald the imminent arrival of new life.
“It certainly seems to be a new beginning,” Lucia said with a smile, then turned to everyone and said, “Everyone, please come with me to the Northern Forward Outpost. There we will have more information about our upcoming plans.”
As Lucia finished speaking, a commotion arose from the surrounding crowd, with people discussing the matter animatedly.
"Where are we going?" a villager asked, frowning. "Is that place safe?"
Lucia smiled gently and replied, "Don't worry, it's protected by the Alliance; it's absolutely safe."

Chapter 546 Challenge.
A young soldier brandished his longsword and exclaimed excitedly, "As long as I can continue fighting and protect everyone, I'm willing to go anywhere!"
A woman nearby took the soldier's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, young man, you have given us new hope. I believe things will get better with you!"
As everyone was engaged in a heated discussion, Su Ting stepped forward and firmly announced to everyone: "Everyone, the road ahead may be fraught with countless difficulties and obstacles, but as long as we are united, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome! Let's go, let's welcome the arrival of new hope together!"
Deafening applause and cheers erupted from the crowd. "Great!" "Go for it!" "We believe in you!" and all sorts of encouraging words rose and fell, cheering on the new journey that was about to begin.
So, led by Su Ting, everyone prepared to set off along the northern road. Many people who had lost their homes due to previous disasters also joined this growing group.
Just as they reached an open area, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance. "Look over there!" someone shouted, and everyone turned their gaze in the direction of the voice.
A group of homeless people dressed in tattered clothes were slowly walking towards them. "Oh dear... what... what's going on?" a girl who looked very nervous asked softly.
Just then, one of them stepped forward—an elderly man who was still full of energy. He first looked around, then said in a hoarse but powerful voice, "I heard you're going to some outpost. Can you take us with you? We are also victims, and we hope to find a safe place to start over."
Upon hearing this, Su Ting immediately stepped forward, smiling and extending his hand, "Of course, welcome to join us! Rebuilding our homes and restoring this land to its former prosperity is the right choice."
The elderly man was moved to tears. "Thank you so much. From today onwards, I will do my best to contribute my strength to help those in need."
Along the way, more displaced people or those who had lost loved ones and friends were drawn to the group, seeking a peaceful place to survive. Although everyone carried a heavy story, their faces were filled with longing for a better future and a determination to face challenges together.
As the sun set, the group finally arrived at the outer edge of the northern outpost nestled among the mountains. In the distance, the outline of a massive, sturdy, and brightly lit city could be vaguely seen, clearly guarded by a powerful force to defend against external threats.
"How magnificent! It's many times bigger than the old village!" a child exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the scenery before him.
Lucia glanced back at her followers, a smile playing on her lips. "Once we arrive, please be sure to follow the local rules and cooperate with the arrangements made by the relevant personnel. Soon everyone will be properly settled and will receive more specific information about the upcoming plans."
Just as the door was slowly opening, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded. "Wait...please wait a moment!"
A young man came running up, panting heavily, his face pale. He clutched a yellowed map tightly in his hand, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Please...please wait!" he gasped, "I know a shortcut that will take me directly around the danger zone and into the city center!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped and turned their gazes to the young man. Su Ting frowned slightly, but still walked over and asked, "How did you know about this shortcut? We can't trust strangers."
The young man hurriedly explained, “I…I came from the north. My family perished there. To survive, I explored this route with some friends. Although it’s hidden, it does allow us to avoid those dangerous areas.”
A murmur arose from the crowd.
"Is this person reliable?"
"Wouldn't it be better if there really was a shortcut?"
