Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After the last raid, Qin Feng and his companions returned to the academy, but the feeling of uneasiness in their hearts became stronger. The actions of the dark sect became more frequent, and they knew that this attack was just on the surface, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

In the early morning, Qin Feng stood alone on the high tower of the academy, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Ye Li quietly walked to his side and whispered: "What are you thinking about? About the Dark Sect?"

Qin Feng nodded, frowning slightly: "They have been acting in secret, and the academy's defenses are becoming increasingly difficult to resist. I always feel that there is more to the matter than this."

"We can't be passive anymore." Ye Li said firmly, "We must take the initiative and find out their plan."

"You're right." Qin Feng clenched his fists, "We can't just sit there and wait for death."

That night, Qin Feng summoned Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng and Ye Li to discuss the next plan in the dense forest behind the college.

"We must find the escaped priest. He must know the core plan of the Dark Sect." Chu Tian was the first to put forward his opinion.

"But we can't act rashly, this may be a trap," Zhang Meng reminded.

Ye Li pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can use the resources of the academy to find their base, and then make plans."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's split up. Ye Li and I will go to the archives of the academy to look up historical records about the Dark Cult to see if we can find any clues. Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng, you continue to track the whereabouts of the priest and keep an eye on where he might be hiding."

Everyone had a clear division of labor and decided to act at night to start implementing the plan.

Late at night, Qin Feng and Ye Li sneaked into the archives of the academy, where a large number of ancient records and confidential documents about the world of soul masters were stored. Ye Li used the cold air of the frost fox to gently blow open the sealed scroll, and the two began to read it carefully.

"There are many records about the Dark Sect here, but most of them are about ancient times." Ye Li said in a low voice.

Qin Feng opened a yellowed ancient scroll and found that it recorded an organization called "Dark Council". The leader of this organization was called "Black Dragon Cult Leader", who was the real ruler of the Dark Cult. Even more shocking was that the text mentioned that the Dark Council had carried out secret activities in a place called "Shadow Valley".

"Shadow Valley? This place doesn't sound good." Qin Feng muttered to himself.

Ye Li also saw this record, and her face became solemn: "This may be their base, we must find out its exact location as soon as possible."

At the same time, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were patrolling outside the academy, trying to find the trace of the priest. Suddenly, the storm wolf stopped alertly, growling softly and pointing to an abandoned woodland in the distance.

"There's a problem there." Chu Tian said in a low voice, and then motioned Zhang Meng to follow.

The two quietly approached the forest and found obvious footprints on the ground, as if someone had just passed by. Zhang Meng used the giant rock bear's sense of smell to track the smell and found that the footprints led to a hidden cave.

"Let's go in and take a look," Zhang Meng suggested.

They entered the cave carefully and found that the walls were engraved with ancient runes, which were very similar to those Qin Feng and his friends had seen in the ruins. Going deeper into the cave, they finally found the trace of the priest, who was standing in front of a huge magic circle, seemingly preparing for some kind of ceremony.

"We must not let him escape this time." Chu Tian said in a low voice.

The two decided to observe for a while and wait for the opportunity to act.

Qin Feng and Ye Li found an ancient map in the archives room, on which the location of "Shadow Valley" was marked. This map showed that Shadow Valley was located in a remote mountain range southwest of the academy.

"This is the place we are looking for." Ye Li pointed to the mark on the map and said, "We must meet up with Chu Tian and the others as soon as possible and then go there together."

Qin Feng nodded: "They should be tracking the priests now, we have to find them quickly."

Just as they were about to leave the archive room, they suddenly heard footsteps outside. Qin Feng signaled Ye Li to be quiet, and the two hid in a corner, holding their breath.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the person seemed to linger at the door of the archive room for a while before finally leaving. Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the archive room with Ye Li.

Qin Feng and Ye Li finally reunited with Chu Tian and Zhang Meng, and learned that they had discovered that the priests were performing some dangerous ritual.

"We now have two clues, one is the Shadow Valley, and the other is the priest's ritual. Which one should we deal with first?" Chu Tian asked.

"I think the priest's ritual may be more urgent." Ye Li suggested, "If he completes the ritual, it may pose a greater threat to us."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and finally decided: "Okay, let's stop the priest's ceremony first, and then go to Shadow Valley. We can't let their plan succeed."

Everyone agreed to the plan and decided to take action immediately. They knew that time was running out and the conspiracy of the dark sect had entered a critical stage.
