Chapter 19 New Threat

When Qin Feng and his team returned to the Soul Master Academy, the academy had already learned that they had defeated the Black Dragon Cult Leader. The entire academy was immersed in the joy of victory, and teachers and students came to congratulate them. This battle not only eliminated the threat of the Dark Cult, but also made Qin Feng and his team's reputation rise to a higher level inside and outside the academy.

Vice Dean Feng Jian personally welcomed their return, with a rare smile on his face: "Your performance exceeded my expectations. The demise of the Black Dragon Cult leader has severely damaged the Dark Cult, and the academy has been able to take a temporary breather."

Qin Feng said modestly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Without their help, I would not be able to do all this."

"This humility and team spirit are the key to your victory." Feng Jian nodded in appreciation.

However, although the whole academy was immersed in the atmosphere of victory, Qin Feng still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although the Black Dragon leader was defeated, he knew that the power of the dark sect was deeply rooted and it was far from being completely eliminated by the fall of a leader.

A few days later, peace returned to the academy, and Qin Feng and his companions returned to their daily training. However, this peace did not last long.

One late night, when Qin Feng was practicing, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation coming from afar. This fluctuation was full of ominous aura, as if foreshadowing some impending disaster.

"What's going on?" Qin Feng's heart tightened. He immediately put down his practice and walked out of the room to observe the surrounding situation.

Ye Li was also awakened by this fluctuation. She appeared beside Qin Feng with a serious expression: "Did you feel it? This spiritual power fluctuation is very strong, as if some huge power is awakening."

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng came later, and they also felt this abnormal fluctuation. Everyone looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"This power comes from somewhere outside the academy. We have to find out the truth as soon as possible." Qin Feng said.

"Let's go report the situation to the vice president. He must know what to do." Ye Li suggested.

Qin Feng and his team found Vice Dean Feng Jian overnight and discovered that he was also worried about the fluctuation of spiritual power. Feng Jian was reading ancient books in the academy, trying to find relevant clues.

"Vice Dean, what exactly is this spiritual power fluctuation? What must we do?" Qin Feng asked anxiously.

Feng Jian frowned and sighed, "This fluctuation comes from an ancient ruin outside the academy. It is said that an extremely powerful soul beast is sealed there - the Nine Nether Dragon."

"Nine Netherworld Dragon? What is that?" Chu Tian asked in confusion.

"The Nine Nether Dragon is an ancient and powerful soul beast. Its power is enough to destroy the entire world." Feng Jian explained, "Hundreds of years ago, it was sealed in this relic by a powerful person, but now the seal seems to be loosening."

"The Dark Sect has not completely disappeared yet. Could this fluctuation of spiritual power be related to them?" Ye Li guessed.

"It's very likely." Feng Jian nodded in agreement. "Although the Black Dragon Cult leader was defeated by you, the remaining forces of the Dark Cult may be plotting to unlock the seal of the Nine Nether Dragon and try to use this power for revenge."

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Qin Feng said decisively, "We must stop them before the seal is completely broken."

Feng Jian pondered for a moment, then made up his mind: "I will organize an elite team from the academy to go to the ruins, and you must join. Only with your strength can we thwart the conspiracy of the dark sect again."

The next morning, Vice President Feng Jian gathered some elite soul masters in the academy to form a team, including Qin Feng and his team. The team will go to the ancient ruins to prevent the seal from breaking and prevent the Nine Nether Dragon from being released.

Before leaving, Feng Jian said to Qin Feng and the others, "This mission is more dangerous than the last one. Not only will you face the remnants of the Dark Sect, but you will also have to face the powerful threat of the Nine Nether Dragon. I hope you can work together to complete this arduous mission."

Qin Feng and his companions nodded solemnly. They knew that this mission was not only related to the safety of the academy, but also to the fate of the entire soul master world.

"We will do our best to complete the task." Qin Feng said firmly.

After the team set out, they quickly headed towards the ancient ruins. Along the way, everyone remained highly alert, fearing an ambush by the dark sect.

"The enemy this time is stronger than ever before." Ye Li whispered, "We must go all out."

"We have gone through so many tests, and we will definitely succeed this time." Chu Tian encouraged everyone.

As they approached the ruins, the sky suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness. The road ahead was obscured by black fog, and visibility was extremely low, as if it was an endless fog.

"This fog is abnormal, everyone be careful," Zhang Meng reminded.

At this moment, several blurry figures appeared in the black fog ahead, slowly approaching them. Qin Feng immediately became alert, raised the Dragon Shadow Sword, and prepared to fight.

Those figures gradually became clearer, and they turned out to be members of the Dark Sect. There was a mad light flashing in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had been completely corrupted by the power of darkness.

"It seems that we don't welcome guests." The leading member of the dark sect sneered and said, "If you dare to stop our plan, don't even think about leaving here alive."

"We will never let you succeed!" Qin Feng said firmly.

The battle was about to start, and the members of the Dark Sect released their powerful martial spirits in an attempt to stop Qin Feng and his men from advancing. Qin Feng's Dragon Shadow Sword engaged the enemy fiercely, and Ye Li's Frost Fox, Chu Tian's Storm Wolf, and Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear also joined the battle.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the fog, with sword energy and spiritual power intertwined, and the surrounding black fog was scattered by the shock wave.

"Their power is stronger than those we encountered before. We must defeat them as soon as possible, otherwise the seal of the Nine Nether Dragon may be destroyed." Ye Li reminded during the battle.

"We can't let them delay time." Qin Feng calmly commanded the battle, looking for the enemy's weaknesses.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng and his men finally defeated the members of the Dark Sect, but they also realized that this was just an outpost force sent by the Dark Sect to block them.

"This is just an appetizer." Chu Tian panted and said, "The real challenge is still ahead."

"We have to speed up. The fluctuations of the sealed spiritual energy are becoming more and more unstable." Ye Li looked into the distance with a serious expression.

The team continued to move forward and finally arrived at the ancient ruins. The ruins were filled with a dark atmosphere, and the light of the seal flickered, as if it would collapse at any time.

"We're here." Qin Feng took a deep breath, "This is our last chance, we can't fail."

Everyone understood that the success or failure of this mission was of vital importance. They encouraged each other, adjusted their states, and prepared for the upcoming final battle.
