Chapter 162 The Secret Revealed

The days of peace in the Holy Empire did not last long. Although the activities of the Dark Cult were severely damaged, the situation was still turbulent. Qin Feng and his partners were busy sorting out the intelligence they had collected and analyzing the recent actions.

On this day, Qin Feng and his companions gathered in the Intelligence Department of the Holy Empire, in a room filled with ancient books and various rare treasures. They were discussing the latest intelligence they had obtained.

"In the dark documents we found in the last operation, some information seems to point to deeper secrets." Ling Yun spread a document on the table, "These documents mentioned a place called 'Dark Rift', which may be the key to the dark sect's plan."

"'Dark Rift'? That sounds scary." Ye Li looked through the information, frowning. "These records mention that it is the source of dark power and the core of the Dark Cult's revival of ancient power."

"We must find this 'Dark Rift' as soon as possible to stop the Dark Cult's plan." Qin Feng said solemnly, "This may be the key to their ultimate goal."

"According to the information, the location of the 'Dark Rift' is very secret and may be hidden in an ancient relic." Chu Tian said, "We need to find this relic before we can determine the exact location of the 'Dark Rift'."

The team members decided to act separately. On the one hand, they continued to investigate clues about the "Dark Rift", and on the other hand, they strengthened surveillance on the Dark Cult to prevent them from taking action again.

A few days later, Ye Li found a book that recorded ancient relics in detail while browsing ancient books. The book mentioned some clues about the location and characteristics of the relics, which seemed to be related to the "Dark Rift".

"I found some clues. The ruins mentioned in the book are located in the 'Forgotten Land' in the northwest. There used to be an ancient dark altar there." Ye Li said, "This may be the place we are looking for."

"The 'Forgotten Land' is an extremely secretive area, and few people go there to explore." Ling Yun said, "But we must take the risk and look for the 'Dark Rift'."

The team members quickly prepared their equipment and set off for the "Forgotten Land". The "Forgotten Land" in the northwest has steep terrain, dense forests, and an extremely harsh environment.

On the way to the "Forgotten Land", Qin Feng and his companions encountered many difficulties. The fog and rugged terrain in the mountains made their journey difficult, but they did not give up and kept moving forward.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the "Forgotten Land". The scene here was very strange, with ancient ruins and eroded runes looking very gloomy.

"This place does have an ancient atmosphere." Qin Feng said, "We need to be careful and pay attention to the movements around us."

The team members carefully entered the ruins and found a destroyed altar. The altar was covered with ancient runes and a dark aura, and the surrounding environment seemed gloomy and strange.

"This altar may be the entrance to the 'Dark Rift'." Ling Yun analyzed, "We need to find a way to enter the 'Dark Rift'."

Around the altar, the team members found some hidden mechanisms and runes. After careful study, they found that these runes could open a hidden passage.

"We found the passage to the Dark Rift," Ye Li said, "but the mechanism of this passage is very complicated, we need to crack it carefully."

The team members worked together and successfully cracked the mechanism of the passage and opened the entrance to the "Dark Rift". After entering the passage, they found that the dark atmosphere inside was even thicker and the environment became more gloomy.

"The atmosphere in this place is depressing," Chu Tian said, "We must be careful to avoid being affected by the dark forces."

The team members continued to go deeper and finally came to a huge underground cave. The cave was filled with dark energy and ancient runes. There was a huge dark crack in the center, and dark energy was constantly surging in the crack.

"This is the 'Dark Rift'." Qin Feng said solemnly, "We must prevent the Dark Cult from performing any rituals here."

At this moment, a dark aura surged out from the cracks, forming a huge dark vortex. A tall dark figure appeared in the vortex, and it was the leader of the Dark Cult - Black Dragon!

"We finally meet, Qin Feng." The black dragon's voice echoed in the cave like thunder. "It's amazing that you found this place."

"Black Dragon, you can't escape today." Qin Feng said firmly, "We will stop your plan and protect this world."

"Humph, what can you little soul masters change?" Black Dragon laughed coldly, "The power of darkness is unstoppable, you are just struggling to survive."

As the words fell, the black dragon launched a powerful dark attack, and the power of darkness attacked the team members. Qin Feng and Ling Yun immediately launched a defense and resisted the dark attack.

"We must destroy this dark rift and stop the Black Dragon's plan!" Ling Yun shouted, "Ye Li, you and Chu Tian will be responsible for stopping the Black Dragon, and Qin Feng and I will destroy the rift!"

Ye Li and Chu Tian acted quickly, using their martial spirits and abilities to fend off the black dragon's attack. At the same time, Qin Feng and Ling Yun attacked the dark rift with all their might, trying to destroy it.

"We must concentrate all our strength!" Qin Feng shouted, "Once the rift is destroyed, the power of the black dragon will be severely weakened!"

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng and Ling Yun finally succeeded in destroying the dark rift, and the dark energy in the rift was completely blocked. The black dragon also became extremely weak because it lost the support of the dark power.

"This is your victory, but the power of darkness will never completely disappear." The Black Dragon gnashed his teeth and said, "I will remember today's hatred. The Dark Cult's plan has just begun!"

With the last roar of the black dragon, his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. The team members looked at the remains of the dark rift tiredly but with satisfaction, knowing that although this operation was difficult, it successfully prevented the conspiracy of the dark sect.

"We have finally completed this mission." Ling Yun said, "But the threat from the Dark Cult has not been completely eliminated. We must continue to remain vigilant."

"Yes, we must always be prepared to face new challenges." Qin Feng nodded, "No matter how difficult the future is, we will meet the challenge and protect this world."

After the battle, the team members took a short break, sorted out the spoils and intelligence, and prepared to return to the Holy Empire. They knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but they were ready to meet new tests and continue to fight for world peace and security.
