Chapter 196: The unexpected event at the celebration banquet and a new journey

The Black Dragon Cult leader's conspiracy was crushed, and Qin Feng and his party returned to the academy with the joy of victory. Faced with the hard-won victory, the academy decided to hold a grand celebration banquet for them. However, the banquet unfolded in laughter and surprise, foreshadowing their next journey.

“Brother Feng, we really won a great victory this time!” Chu Tian strode along the corridor of the academy, with an irrepressible smile on his face. “We even defeated the Black Dragon leader. I think the academy should give us a big award!”

Zhang Meng was also excited and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder: "That's right, Brother Feng, we have made a great contribution this time!"

Qin Feng smiled slightly. Although his heart was also filled with the joy of victory, he still remained calm: "Yes, we did succeed this time, but everyone has worked hard."

"Speaking of hard work, I think you, Brother Feng, are the hardest hit." Ye Li smiled softly, "If it weren't for your decisive decision, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to deal with the various conspiracies of the Black Dragon Cult Leader."

"Everyone has done a great job. Without your cooperation, we would not have succeeded." Qin Feng nodded in approval. "However, we should take a good rest now. We should relax as much as we can at the celebration banquet later."

"I heard that the celebration banquet this time is very large and the academy has invested a lot of money." Chu Tian said with a smile, "I can't wait to have a big meal!"

That night, the hall of the academy was decorated with a new look, and gorgeous lights illuminated every corner. The whole hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. The table was filled with various delicacies and fine wines, and the disciples were immersed in the joy of victory.

"The college is really generous this time." Zhang Meng ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls, saying, "I can't hold it any longer."

"You'd better take it easy. Don't forget what happened last time when you got drunk." Ye Li reminded with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, I know what to do this time." Zhang Meng grinned, "But having said that, we really should celebrate this time."

Chu Tian picked up a glass of wine and said to Qin Feng with a smile: "Brother Feng, come on, let's have a drink! For our victory and for the greater challenges ahead!"

Qin Feng raised his glass and clinked it with Chu Tian: "Okay, for victory!"

"For victory!" everyone responded in unison.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone's mood became more and more excited, and Chu Tian even showed off his comedic skills, making everyone laugh.

"Chu Tian, ​​your jokes are getting funnier and funnier!" A disciple laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "It's such a waste if you don't do crosstalk!"

"Of course, I have a talent!" Chu Tian said proudly.

"Don't be too proud." Qin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Be careful that you drink too much tomorrow morning and can't wake up."

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I know what I'm doing!" Chu Tian waved his hand, looking confident, "I definitely won't get drunk today!"

However, just as he finished speaking, Zhang Meng poured a large glass of wine into Chu Tian's mouth. As a result, his face turned red and he fell directly on the table.

"What did I say?" Qin Feng shook his head helplessly, "It seems that this guy will have to wake up tomorrow morning again."

"It seems we have to let him have a good rest." Ye Li smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Just as everyone was immersed in laughter and celebration, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open and a guard hurried in with a serious expression.

"Brother Feng, the vice president asked me to inform you that there is a guest outside who wants to see you." The guard said hurriedly.

"Guest?" Qin Feng frowned slightly, "It's a bit strange to visit at this time."

"Could it be the remnants of the Black Dragon Leader again?" Zhang Meng put down his wine glass, a hint of alertness in his eyes.

"I'm not sure, but the vice-president said you'd better go and see it for yourself," the guard added.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Ye Li and Zhang Meng stood up immediately: "We'll go with you."

"Okay, it's better to be careful." Qin Feng replied.

They followed the guard to the main entrance of the academy, and saw a slender man standing outside the door, wearing a dark red cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. When the man saw Qin Feng and others coming out, he raised his head slightly, revealing a smiling face.

"You are Qin Feng, right?" The man's voice was low and magnetic.

"It's me." Qin Feng answered cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want from us?"

The man smiled slightly: "I am a former ally of the Dark Cult."

Hearing the words "Dark Sect", Zhang Meng immediately clenched his fists and said coldly: "It's you guys again! What are you doing here?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble." The man waved his hand, with a hint of comfort in his voice, "On the contrary, I'm here to provide some important information."

Qin Feng frowned slightly: "Who are you? Why should we believe you?"

The man gently pulled down the hood of his cloak, revealing a stern face. His eyes were firm and deep: "My name is Night Owl, and I used to be one of the high-ranking officials of the Dark Cult."

"Night Owl? I've heard of you." Ye Li's eyes were stern. "You are one of the most mysterious people in the Dark Sect. It is said that you hold a lot of important information."

Night Owl nodded. "It seems that you know something about me. That's good. I don't need to introduce myself any further. I came here to tell you an important news. Although the Black Dragon leader has been defeated, the conspiracy of the Dark Cult is far from over. They have set up several secret bases in other places, preparing to carry out an even more terrifying plan."

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed: "What plan?"

Night Owl said in a deep voice: "They plan to use some secret method to revive the remaining soul of the Black Dragon Cult Master and use it to summon a more powerful force. This plan is very dangerous. If it succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Meng said impatiently: "How do you know this?"

Night Owl smiled calmly: "Since I was once a high-ranking member of the Dark Cult, I naturally know their various plans. However, I have long been tired of that kind of life. This time I came here to cooperate with you and stop them together."

Qin Feng's eyes were stern: "What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"

Night Owl took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng: "This is the latest action plan of the Dark Sect. It records in detail the location of their base and the method of resurrecting the Black Dragon Sect Leader. You can check it yourself."

Qin Feng took the scroll and quickly glanced through it, his eyes becoming more serious: "This information does seem to be valuable, but we still need time to verify it."

Night Owl nodded to show his understanding: "I understand, you can verify this information as soon as possible. I just hope to stop this before it becomes irreversible."

"Okay, we will take it seriously." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "However, we will also monitor your actions at all times."

Night Owl smiled and said, "It's what I should do. You can rest assured that I have no ill intentions."

Qin Feng nodded: "Then you stay in the academy for the time being, we will arrange someone to look after you."

Night Owl nodded slightly: "No problem, I will cooperate."

With the information provided by Night Owl, Qin Feng and his team returned to the hall. They did not continue to attend the celebration banquet, but immediately called together the core members for a discussion.

"Everyone, you all know what happened just now." Qin Feng said straight to the point, "The threat from the Black Dragon Cult Leader has not been completely eliminated, and the Dark Cult is still brewing a bigger conspiracy."

Chu Tian had already woken up. He rubbed his head and said, "These guys are really haunting us. They just finished the fight and they still won't stop."

"Indeed." Ye Li nodded, "If the information provided by Night Owl is true, we must take action as soon as possible."

"Brother Feng, what are you going to do?" Zhang Meng asked.

"First, we need to verify the authenticity of this information." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "If it is confirmed to be correct, we must act separately to destroy the stronghold of the Dark Cult and completely crush their conspiracy."

Chu Tian smiled and said, "We must be fully prepared this time and not give them any chances."

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded, "Everyone get ready immediately, we will start a new journey."

As Qin Feng's orders were issued, everyone took action and prepared to meet new challenges. At this moment, they knew that the real test was still ahead.
