Chapter 166 The Intersection of Destiny 2

After the victory of "Void Mountain", Qin Feng and his companions returned to the Holy Empire and began to sum up the experience of this operation and formulate new plans. Although they stopped the conspiracy of the Dark Cult, the remnants of the Dark Cult still exist, and new threats may appear at any time.

On this day, Qin Feng and his partners held an important meeting at the intelligence center of the Holy Empire. The atmosphere in the meeting room was serious and solemn. The maps and records on the wall showed that the situation in the world was complex and changeable. Ling Yun, Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng were all sitting at the table, waiting for Qin Feng to speak.

"Everyone has worked hard." After Qin Feng sat down, he first expressed his gratitude to everyone. "Although we successfully stopped the ritual of the 'Source of Nothingness' this time, the threat of the Dark Cult has not been completely eliminated. We need to learn more about their remaining forces."

"Indeed." Ling Yun nodded in agreement. "The organizational structure of the Dark Cult may be very complicated. We must find their core members and completely eliminate this threat."

"Our intelligence shows that the remnants of the Dark Cult in various places are trying to regroup." Ye Li took out a new report, "Abnormal activities have occurred in the border areas of the Eastern and Southern Empires. We need to investigate as soon as possible."

"I suggest that we split into two groups and head to the east and south respectively." Chu Tian suggested, "This way we can collect intelligence more efficiently and not miss any important clues."

"Good idea." Qin Feng agreed, "Ling Yun, you and Ye Li will be responsible for going to the Eastern Empire to investigate, while Chu Tian and I will go to the Southern Empire."

The team members immediately began to prepare their equipment and ensure that everything was in the best condition. Before they left, the senior officials of the Holy Empire expressed their sincere wishes to them and promised to provide the necessary support.

The border area of ​​the Eastern Empire is surrounded by dense forests and rugged mountains, and the climate here is also quite harsh. Ling Yun and Ye Li began their investigation in a desolate valley. The valley was quiet, with occasional gusts of wind blowing through, bringing a hint of chill.

"This valley looks very unfamiliar." Ling Yun looked around. "Is it possible that the activities of the Dark Cult are hidden here?"

"We need to check every corner carefully." Ye Li said, "According to our intelligence, the Dark Cult is likely to use these hidden places as their secret bases."

The two carefully searched in the valley, and suddenly, Ye Li found some camouflaged traces. She whispered, "Lingyun, come and take a look at these traces. These footprints don't seem normal."

Ling Yun walked closer and observed for a while, then nodded: "These footprints are likely left by members of the Dark Cult. If we follow these traces, we may find their hiding place."

They followed the footprints through the valley and into a more dense forest, where they found an abandoned building hidden among the trees, covered in moss and looking abandoned long ago.

"This place doesn't look right." Ye Li whispered, "We have to be careful."

Ling Yun gently pushed open the door of the building, revealing a dark and humid environment. The two carefully examined the interior of the building and found some relics and documents of the Dark Sect. These documents showed that the sect had conducted some secret rituals and research here.

"These records mention some mysterious items, which may be what they are looking for." Ye Li analyzed, "We need to continue tracking and find more clues."

At the same time, Qin Feng and Chu Tian also began their investigation in the border area of ​​the southern empire. The southern border environment is more open than the eastern one, but it is also full of dangers. The hot weather and dry environment made them feel very tired.

"Our current mission is to find traces of the Dark Sect's activities in the south." Qin Feng said, looking at the map, "Our intelligence shows that some towns and villages in the south have experienced abnormal phenomena."

"Yes, we need to conduct a detailed investigation in these places." Chu Tian agreed, "If necessary, we can ask the local residents to get more information."

They first came to a small town called "Storm Town". The residents of this town are very closed to information from the outside world, and Qin Feng and Chu Tian must deal with it carefully to avoid arousing any suspicion.

"This town looks peaceful, but we need to find a chance to learn more about the situation." Qin Feng said, "We can stay in the town for a few days and observe everything."

In the town, Qin Feng and Chu Tian gradually integrated into the local life and tried to communicate with the residents. Although the residents of the town were a little wary of them, they still got some useful information.

"I heard that a few strangers appeared in the town recently, and their behavior was very suspicious." A businessman in the town told Qin Feng, "They stayed in the town for a while, and then suddenly left."

"Can you tell us their specific whereabouts?" Qin Feng asked.

The merchant hesitated, then said, "They seem to have gone south, to a place called 'Wild Village'. I heard some strange things happened there."

"Thank you for your information." Qin Feng expressed his gratitude, "We will go to that place to investigate."

Qin Feng and Chu Tian then set off for the "Wild Village". On the way, they noticed some unusual phenomena, such as destroyed road signs and stranded goods. All signs indicate that the activities of the Dark Cult may be spreading from this direction.

The wilderness village is located in the deep mountains in the south, and the environment is very harsh. After arriving at the village, they found that the atmosphere in the village was unusually heavy, and the villagers seemed very nervous and scared.

"We need to find an opportunity to communicate with the villagers and understand their situation." Qin Feng said.

After some efforts, Qin Feng and Chu Tian successfully established trust with the villagers, and the villagers revealed some important information about the dark sect.

"We found a hidden cave near the village, and some strangers were coming in and out of it," said an elderly villager. "They were performing some rituals in the cave that we couldn't understand."

"Thank you for the information." Chu Tian said, "We will go to that cave to investigate."

With the guidance of the villagers, the team members found the hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered very tightly, but they still managed to enter the cave.

The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a foul smell. As they went deeper, they found some ritual items and runes of the Dark Cult, which were similar to those they found in the Eastern Empire.

"The situation in this cave is very similar to the discovery in the Eastern Empire." Qin Feng analyzed, "The Dark Cult performs similar rituals in various places, perhaps looking for some key items or power."

During the investigation, Qin Feng and Chu Tian also found some records and documents showing that the Dark Cult was looking for an artifact called the "Heart of Chaos". This artifact is said to have great dark power and is an important part of their plan.

"'Heart of Chaos'?" Chu Tian frowned. "It sounds like a powerful artifact. We must find it to prevent the Dark Cult from using it."

The team members decided to continue tracking the clues of the "Heart of Chaos" and find the location of this artifact as soon as possible. They knew that this would be a difficult and dangerous task, but in order to protect the safety of the world, they must do their best.

"Our mission is still going on." Qin Feng said, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must face it head-on and fight for the peace of this world."

After some preparation and investigation, Qin Feng and his partners continued to take action. They knew that the conspiracy of the dark sect was still going on and the challenges ahead would be even more severe. However, they were full of confidence and ready to meet all possible difficulties.
