Chapter 103 The Emergence of Conspiracy

After successfully exploring the underground ruins and bringing back important intelligence, Qin Feng and his partners realized that the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Cult was more complicated and dangerous than they had imagined. As time went on, the conspiracy hidden in the darkness gradually emerged, and they had to be prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.

After returning to Black Iron City, the Lord of Tieshan City immediately convened an emergency meeting, and Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were also invited to attend. The main content of the meeting was to analyze the intelligence they brought back from the underground ruins and formulate a response strategy.

"These materials are very detailed, recording how the Black Dragon Cult uses dark forces to conduct experiments." Ye Li flipped through the scrolls and explained, "They seem to be trying to revive an ancient evil force."

"Ancient evil power?" Chu Tian frowned and asked, "What exactly do they want to do?"

The Lord of Tieshan City looked solemn. "According to these data, the goal of the Black Dragon Cult is to revive the 'Dark Dragon', a powerful creature that has been sealed for thousands of years. It is said that once resurrected, this creature will bring endless disasters."

"Dragon of Darkness?" Qin Feng's heart trembled, and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes, this creature once brought great disaster to the entire continent and was eventually sealed in a secret place by the united soul masters. But now, the Black Dragon Cult is trying to break this seal." The Lord of Tieshan City explained.

"We can't let them succeed!" Zhang Meng said angrily, obviously angry about this evil plan.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "We must take action immediately to stop them."

As the meeting progressed, the Lord of Tieshan City decided to send an elite force to conduct reconnaissance in the possible activity areas of the Black Dragon Cult. Qin Feng and his partners naturally became the core members of this team. Their mission was to find out the specific location of the Black Dragon Cult and destroy their plans.

"This operation is very dangerous, you must be careful." The Lord of Tieshan City said solemnly.

"We will definitely act carefully and ensure that we complete the mission." Qin Feng replied firmly.

Before departure, everyone made detailed preparations. Ye Li specially prepared some special runes for the team, which could protect them from the dark forces at critical moments.

"These runes can temporarily resist the power of darkness, but their usage time is limited. Please use them with caution." Ye Li reminded.

Chu Tianze checked the Storm Wolf's equipment and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed this time."

Zhang Meng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said, "No matter what dangers lie ahead, we will fight side by side."

After several days of trekking, Qin Feng and his companions finally arrived at the "Dark Forest" mentioned in the intelligence. This forest is located on the northern edge of the continent, surrounded by thick fog, as if isolated from the world.

"The atmosphere here is really uncomfortable." Chu Tian said with a frown. He felt that everything around him was filled with a weird atmosphere.

Ye Li also felt uneasy. Her frost fox kept growling, and it was obvious that she was wary of the surrounding environment.

"This forest is full of dark forces, we must be vigilant." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, and then ordered the team to enter combat status.

As they went deeper into the forest, the atmosphere around them became more and more oppressive. The surrounding trees seemed to be corroded by the power of darkness, with branches and leaves withered, and some unknown debris scattered on the ground.

"These debris... seem to be from former adventurers." Zhang Meng whispered. He found some worn-out equipment and tools.

"It seems that many people have gone missing here." Ye Li sighed, obviously aware of the danger of this forest.

As they continued to move forward, they suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation. Then, a low roar came from the depths of the forest, as if some huge creature was waking up.

"What's that sound?" Chu Tian asked vigilantly.

Qin Feng immediately ordered the team to be on alert, "No matter what it is, we must be prepared."

As the roars got closer, a group of black shadows suddenly rushed out from the depths of the forest and surrounded Qin Feng and others. These black shadows seemed invisible, but they were full of strong hostility and were obviously controlled by some dark force.

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

Qin Feng swiftly swung the Dragon Shadow Sword and repelled several black shadows, but more black shadows immediately surged up, as if endless.

"We have to find their source!" Qin Feng shouted. He realized that these black shadows seemed to be related to some power deep in the forest.

In the fierce battle, Qin Feng gradually discovered that the actions of these black shadows seemed to follow a certain pattern. They surrounded a central point, as if protecting something.

"There might be a problem over there!" Chu Tian said, pointing to an area deep in the forest, having obviously discovered something unusual.

"We must go over and take a look!" Qin Feng gave a decisive order and immediately led the team towards that area.

After overcoming many obstacles, Qin Feng and his companions finally arrived at the abnormal area. They found an ancient altar hidden here, which was engraved with complex runes and exuded a strong dark atmosphere.

"This altar seems to be performing some kind of ceremony." Ye Li said after careful observation, obviously aware of the importance of this altar.

At this moment, several members of the Black Dragon Cult in black robes suddenly appeared from the shadows and surrounded Qin Feng and others. Their eyes revealed cold murderous intent, and it was obvious that they did not intend to let Qin Feng and others leave easily.

"You finally found this place, but you are too late." The leading member of the Black Dragon Cult sneered and ordered his men to launch an attack.

Qin Feng and his companions immediately launched a counterattack. Although the enemy was large in number, they gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit cooperation and strong combat effectiveness.

"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 altar.

"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 defeating the enemy, Qin Feng and others carefully examined the altar and found that the altar seemed to be used to absorb the dark power in the forest and transform it into some more powerful energy.

"These energies seem to be used to revive some powerful creature." Ye Li analyzed, obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "We must destroy this altar as soon as possible and not let the Black Dragon Cult's conspiracy succeed."

Under Ye Li's guidance, everyone used runes and spells to successfully destroy the altar's core device. As the altar collapsed, the surrounding dark forces gradually dissipated, and the forest began to return to normal.

"We succeeded!" Chu Tian said excitedly, obviously happy about this victory.

However, Qin Feng remained calm in his heart. He knew that this victory was only temporary and the threat from the Black Dragon Cult had not been completely eliminated.

"We must continue to remain vigilant and be prepared to meet future challenges." Qin Feng vowed to himself.

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.
