Chapter 101 The Troubles Resurface

After successfully defeating the Black Dragon Cult, life in the academy gradually returned to normal. Qin Feng and his companions also returned to their daily practice and study. However, the peaceful days did not last long, and a new crisis began to gradually surface.

On this day, Qin Feng and Ye Li were discussing their cultivation experience in the academy's garden, while Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were sparring not far away. The sun was shining brightly, and the surroundings were full of vitality, and everything seemed to be beautiful.

"The recent training has been effective. Your Frost Fox has become stronger." Qin Feng said approvingly.

Ye Li smiled slightly, "It's the same with your Dragon Shadow Sword. Every time we spar, I have to concentrate fully. If I'm not careful, I'll be suppressed by you."

As they were happily chatting, an attendant from the academy came running over with a nervous look on his face, "Qin Feng, Ye Li, the vice president asks you to go to his office immediately. There is an emergency."

"Something happened again?" Qin Feng and Ye Li looked at each other, then quickly rushed to Vice President Feng Jian's office.

After arriving at the office, they found Vice President Feng Jian talking to a strange middle-aged man. The man was tall and had a dignified look.

"This is the Lord of Black Iron City, Tieshan. He brings the latest news about the Black Dragon Cult." Vice President Feng Jian introduced.

"Black Dragon Cult? Haven't they been defeated by us?" Ye Li felt a little confused.

The Lord of Tieshan City sighed, "Although you destroyed their core base, the remnants of the Black Dragon Cult have not been completely disintegrated. Recently we received news that they seem to be planning a new conspiracy and trying to make a comeback."

Qin Feng frowned, "They still won't give up?"

Tieshan nodded, "That's right, so I came here specifically to ask for your help. Black Iron City is our important line of defense in the north. Once it is lost, the entire north will fall into chaos."

Vice Dean Feng Jian looked at Qin Feng and Ye Li, "Are you willing to accept this task?"

Qin Feng did not hesitate, "Of course, we will do our best to help Black Iron City."

Ye Li also nodded firmly, "We can't let the Black Dragon Cult succeed again."

The next day, Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng set out with the Lord of Tieshan City to Black Iron City. Black Iron City is located on the northern border of the continent. It is famous for its solid walls and strong defenses. It is an important fortress against foreign invasions.

"This castle looks very solid." Chu Tian stood on the city wall, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Meng patted the thick city wall and said, "No wonder this place is called Black Iron City. Even the city wall looks like it's made of iron."

The Lord of Tieshan led them into the castle and introduced the situation in the city. The castle was full of various defense facilities, and the army was trained in an orderly manner, obviously ready to deal with any emergency.

"We have strengthened our defenses, but the other side may have new tricks, so we can't take it lightly." The Lord of Tieshan City warned.

Qin Feng nodded to show his understanding, "We will do our best to assist you."

That night, Qin Feng and his companions had just entered the guest room of Black Iron City to rest when they suddenly heard a huge explosion outside the city. Immediately, the alarm in the city rang through the sky, and the entire castle fell into a tense atmosphere.

"What happened?" Qin Feng immediately jumped out of bed and quickly put on his equipment.

Ye Li also hurried out of the room, looking serious, "It seems the enemy has arrived."

They quickly rushed to the city wall and found a large number of black shadows floating in the sky outside the city. Those black shadows seemed to be controlled by dark forces and kept attacking the Black Iron City.

"They are the remnants of the Black Dragon Cult!" The Lord of Tieshan City shouted angrily, and then ordered all guards to immediately enter combat status.

Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also immediately joined the battle to guard the defense line of Black Iron City.

During the battle, Qin Feng discovered that these shadows were more cunning than those he had encountered before. Not only could they hide in the darkness, but they could also quickly change their forms, making it difficult for the guards to catch them.

"Why are these things so difficult to deal with?" Chu Tian complained as he fought side by side with the Storm Wolf.

Ye Li concentrated her mind and used the frost fox's icy power to freeze the shadows, and then had the guards kill them quickly. "We must stop them from approaching the city wall, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

As the battle progressed, Qin Feng gradually discovered that the Black Dragon Cult's attacks did not seem to be simply destructive, they seemed to be looking for a specific target.

"What exactly are they looking for?" Qin Feng was puzzled, but he couldn't be sure for the time being.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Qin Feng and others, the attack of the Black Dragon Cult was successfully repelled. Although the Black Iron City was temporarily protected, Qin Feng's uneasiness became stronger.

"These guys must have some conspiracy. We can't take it lightly." Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

The next day, Qin Feng and Ye Li were patrolling the city when suddenly, a guard came running over with a nervous look on his face.

"The city lord has discovered an ancient underground relic that may be related to the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Cult." said the guard.

"Underground ruins?" Qin Feng and Ye Li looked at each other and immediately decided to go and check it out.

They followed the guards to an abandoned area in the city, where a secret entrance leading underground was hidden. There was a cold and gloomy atmosphere at the entrance, as if it was hiding countless secrets.

"It seems we have found the root of the problem." Ye Li said in a low voice, and then entered the ruins with Qin Feng.

The interior of the ruins was filled with ancient stone tablets and statues, and the walls were engraved with complex runes. As they went deeper, the dark atmosphere in the air became stronger, as if suggesting that some powerful force was awakening.

"These runes are very similar to what we saw in the Black Dragon Cult's stronghold before." Ye Li said after careful observation.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "It seems that this place is indeed related to the Black Dragon Cult. We have to be careful."

When they entered the depths of the ruins, they suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation. Then, a group of remnants of the Black Dragon Cult suddenly appeared from the shadows and surrounded them.

"You are here, but you are too late." The leading member of the Black Dragon Cult sneered, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"What are you planning?" Qin Feng asked coldly, with the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand already unsheathed.

"Haha, you'll know soon, but now, I have to deal with you first!" The Black Dragon Cult member laughed wildly and then ordered his men to launch an attack.

Qin Feng and Ye Li immediately launched a counterattack. Although the enemies were numerous, they gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit cooperation and strong fighting power.

"These guys are really not simple." Ye Li said while fighting.

Qin Feng focused on dealing with the leading member of the Black Dragon Cult. He felt that the other party was extremely powerful and had obviously undergone special training.

In the end, Qin Feng successfully defeated his opponent and found a mysterious scroll from him. The scroll recorded a secret plan of the Black Dragon Cult, which seemed to be related to this underground ruins.

"It seems we have found a clue." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, and then decided to bring this discovery back to discuss countermeasures with the Lord of Tieshan City.

After returning to the surface, Qin Feng and Ye Li handed the contents of the scroll to the Lord of Tieshan City and reported in detail their findings in the underground ruins. After hearing this, the Lord of Tieshan City looked solemn, and he realized that the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Cult was far more complicated than they had imagined.

"We must take action immediately and not give them any chance." The Lord of Tieshan City gave the order decisively.

Qin Feng and his partners also realized that the real battle was not over yet, and they had to remain vigilant and prepare for more severe challenges.

Although the road ahead is unknown, Qin Feng and others are still full of confidence and determination. They know that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome all difficulties, protect Black Iron City, and protect the peace of the soul master world.
