The Truth Emerging and the Life - and - Death Duel

Lin Yue and Li Yi watched the door warily. The king rushed over with a group of guards. When the king saw the black - clothed people in the room, his face changed drastically.

"What's going on here?"

Li Yi put away his sword and said,

"Your Majesty, these black - clothed people were sent by Zhang He. He wants to kill us and stop us from investigating the truth of the epidemic."

The king was furious when he heard this.

"Zhang He! How could he do such a treasonous thing!"

Lin Yue stepped forward and told the king what the palace maid had said. After hearing this, the king was shocked.

"I never expected that I trusted him so much, yet he betrayed me and harmed so many common people."

Li Yi said,

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to find a solution to the epidemic and expose Zhang He's crimes at the same time."

The king nodded.

"What you two said is right. I'll leave everything to you."

With the king's support, Lin Yue and Li Yi began to fully investigate Zhang He's crimes. They collected evidence through various channels and also stepped up their research on the treatment of the epidemic. Lin Yue found that the drug Zhang He put in contained a strange toxin that was difficult to be resolved by ordinary medicines.

Just when they felt desperate, Lin Yue suddenly remembered the mysterious crystal ball she had obtained in the snow mountain before. Some information had been transmitted to her from the crystal ball. Perhaps there was a solution to this toxin among them. Lin Yue closed her eyes, concentrated, and tried to establish a connection with the crystal ball.

Gradually, some blurred images emerged in Lin Yue's mind. In the images, an old man was preparing a potion, and several special herbs were used in the potion. Lin Yue tried her best to remember the appearance of these herbs, then opened her eyes and said to Li Yi excitedly,

"Your Highness, I seem to have found a way to detoxify!"

Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, his eyes full of surprise.

"Really? Miss Lin, that's great!"

Lin Yue nodded.

"However, these herbs are very rare. We need to find them as soon as possible."

So, Li Yi and the king immediately sent people to search for these herbs throughout the country. After some efforts, all the herbs were finally found. Lin Yue prepared the detoxification potion according to the method she saw in the crystal ball.

They distributed the potion to the infected common people. After taking it, the common people's conditions gradually improved. The king looked at the recovered common people and was very relieved.

"You two are really great benefactors of our country!"

However, Zhang He was not willing to fail. After learning that Lin Yue and Li Yi had found a way to treat the epidemic, his heart was filled with resentment. He decided to take a desperate gamble and launch a final attack.

One day, Zhang He broke into the royal palace with a group of his subordinates. He looked at the king, Lin Yue, and Li Yi and sneered.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? You're so naive! Today is your doom."

Li Yi stood in front of Lin Yue and drew his sword.

"Zhang He, you have committed heinous crimes. Today is your end."

Zhang He waved his hand, and his subordinates rushed towards Li Yi and Lin Yue one after another. Li Yi and Lin Yue quickly engaged in a battle with them.

During the battle, Lin Yue found that Zhang He's martial arts were very powerful, and Li Yi gradually began to struggle to resist. Just as Zhang He was about to deliver a fatal blow to Li Yi, Lin Yue suddenly took out the Spirit Crystal and injected the power of the Spirit Crystal into Li Yi's sword. Li Yi felt that the power of the sword in his hand increased greatly, and he brandished the sword and attacked Zhang He.

Zhang He was startled when he felt the increase in Li Yi's power. He quickly resisted, but still got hit on the arm by Li Yi. Zhang He roared angrily and rushed towards Li Yi regardless of everything. Li Yi and Zhang He engaged in a life - and - death duel. They attacked and defended against each other, neither willing to give in.

Just then, the king's guards arrived. When they saw Zhang He rebelling, they joined the battle one after another. Under the combined attack of everyone, Zhang He's subordinates gradually couldn't resist and surrendered one after another.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhang He wanted to escape. How could Li Yi let him go easily? He chased after him and stabbed Zhang He with his sword. Zhang He fell to the ground. He looked at Li Yi, his eyes full of resentment.

"You... you won't end well..."

Li Yi said coldly.

"This is the end for traitors and evildoers."

Lin Yue and Li Yi finally successfully exposed Zhang He's crimes and saved this country. The king was extremely grateful to them and rewarded them with a lot of property. However, Lin Yue and Li Yi were not proud because of this. They knew that there were more challenges waiting for them in the future.
