It was eerily quiet here.
"Are you all okay?"
The voice of Ouyang Xue came through the radio.
"We're fine," I replied, panting heavily.
"We just escaped a trap and are now in a safe basement."
"That's good to hear."
Ouyang Xue's voice brought me a sense of relief.
"I found some records about the Underworld."
"Really?"
Moyuan and I perked up immediately.
"I found an old book in the library that has descriptions about the Underworld."
Ouyang Xue's voice came through the radio again.
"The book mentions that the power of the Underworld comes from an ancient Sacred Artifact."
"Sacred Artifact?"
Moyuan and I echoed.
"Yes, if we can find this Sacred Artifact, perhaps we can discover a way to deal with the Underworld."
Ouyang Xue's words gave us hope.
"We'll keep an eye out for it," I responded.
"We'll also try to find the Sacred Artifact as soon as possible."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your news."
The voice on the other end of the radio was filled with anticipation.
We looked at each other, determination shining in our eyes.
"We will definitely succeed," I said softly, as if speaking to myself and to Moyuan at the same time.
We continued to explore the basement, searching for any possible clues.
Suddenly, our radio crackled to life again.
"It's me, Ouyang Xue."
"I found information about the Sacred Artifact, and I've transmitted it to your devices."
"Great, we'll check it right away."
Moyuan and I hurriedly opened our devices to review the information sent by Ouyang Xue.
The data revealed that the Underworld is not a single entity but a convergence of countless ancient souls' resentments.
At its core lies what is known as the Heart of the Wraith.
The Heart of the Wraith is an ancient crystal capable of absorbing and storing the energy of souls.
During the battle in the Underworld, evil forces used forbidden magic to seal the guardians' souls within the Heart of the Wraith, turning it into a powerful energy source.
"So that's where the power of the Underworld comes from," Moyuan and I realized simultaneously.
"But the data also mentions that the Heart of the Wraith can only be destroyed on a full moon night when its energy peaks."
"This means we must find the Heart of the Wraith before the next full moon night."
Moyuan and I exchanged a glance, understanding each other's resolve.
"We will find it and destroy it."
Time was running out; we had to find a way to destroy the Heart of the Wraith before the full moon night.
Moyuan, Ouyang Xue, and I anxiously flipped through ancient texts in a corner of the library, trying to find useful clues.
Suddenly, we heard footsteps approaching, and we cautiously looked up.
"It's us."
Lei Zhen and Tsu Yan appeared before us.
"What are you doing here?"
Lei Zhen's voice was as serious as ever.
"We're looking for a way to destroy the 'Heart of the Wraith,'" I replied softly.
"The power of the Underworld is growing stronger, and we must act quickly."
Lei Zhen and Tsu Yan exchanged a glance, then looked at us.
"We're here to help," Tsu Yan said, her voice gentle yet firm.
"We don't want to see the academy in danger, nor do we want to see you lose your lives for nothing."
Seeing their sincere expressions, we nodded and decided to search for a way to destroy the "Heart of the Wraith" together.
Time passed by slowly as we anxiously flipped through books, searching for clues.
Suddenly, Moyuan let out an exclamation.
"Come quick, look at this!"
We hurried over.
In Moyuan's book, there was a passage about "Soul Light."
It described a Sacred Artifact known as "Soul Light," which had some mysterious connection to the "Heart of the Wraith."
"'Soul Light' is the opposite of 'Heart of the Wraith,' formed from countless pure soul energies," Ouyang Xue's voice echoed in our ears.
