Chapter 202: The conspiracy gradually emerges, and the mystery is solved

Qin Feng and his partners gradually uncovered the secret actions of the dark sect through their investigation in a small town on the northern border. Although Ye You's appearance put them in a difficult situation for a while, after a battle of wits, they finally got some important clues. However, as the investigation deepened, things became more confusing. Faced with the enemy's new strategy, Qin Feng and his friends had to brainstorm and find a way to crack it.

"Although these clues seem disorganized, the real intentions of the dark sect must be hidden in them." Qin Feng frowned, holding a map in his hand, which marked all the suspicious places they found in the town.

"Brother Feng, do you think there is any connection between these places?" Chu Tian came over to look at the map and scratched his head. "If there are problems in these places, we will have to be busy for a while."

"We can focus on those places with frequent activities first." Ye Li suggested. She studied the map carefully. "If the Dark Sect really makes any big moves, there will definitely be obvious energy fluctuations in their core bases."

"Well, Ye Li is right." Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "We can determine which places are most worthy of investigation based on the energy fluctuations of these locations."

Zhang Meng looked at the map and pointed to a particularly clearly marked location: "This place looks suspicious. When we passed by before, we did feel a strange aura there."

"Yes, there seems to be a lot of people coming and going in that place all the time." Chu Tian recalled, "And they seem to be particularly wary of outsiders."

"In that case, let's start the investigation from there." Qin Feng made a decisive decision, "Everyone stay alert and be ready to deal with any emergency at any time."

That night, Qin Feng and his team quietly came to the suspicious location. It was an abandoned warehouse, surrounded by silence, as if no one had used it for a long time.

"It does look weird here," Ye Li whispered, her frost fox emitting a faint chill in her hands, ready to strike at any moment.

"Everyone, be careful and don't be fooled by the surface phenomenon." Qin Feng reminded, "Let's split up and investigate the surrounding situation first."

"Brother Feng, I'll go to the left, Ye Li and Chu Tian, ​​you go to the right." Zhang Meng said in a low voice, obviously having entered combat mode.

"Understood." Chu Tian and Ye Li responded at the same time, and then quickly went their separate ways.

Qin Feng went forward alone to investigate. His footsteps were light and made almost no sound. When he reached the door of the warehouse, he found that the door was closed, but a ray of light could be seen through the crack.

"It looks like there's someone inside." Qin Feng was secretly alert. He gently pushed the door open and found that the door was not locked, but was simply blocked from the inside.

He slowly pushed the door open and looked through the crack to see what was going on inside. The light inside the warehouse was dim, but he could see several figures busy at work, apparently moving something.

"What on earth are these guys doing?" Qin Feng was secretly wondering in his heart. Just as he was about to observe further, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Hurry up, don't let them find out!" This was Ye You's voice, full of urgency and anxiety.

"Ye You?" Qin Feng was stunned, thinking to himself that something was wrong, "It seems that he has come back after escaping."

Just as he was about to continue observing, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind. Qin Feng immediately dodged to the side, a cold light brushed past his ear, and then a man in black jumped out from the shadows.

"Oh no, I've been discovered!" Qin Feng cried out inwardly and quickly swung the Dragon Shadow Sword to block the opponent's attack.

"Brother Feng, what happened?" Zhang Meng's voice came from the left, and he obviously noticed something unusual.

"There is an ambush, be careful!" Qin Feng shouted while fighting with the opponent.

However, the man in black was extremely quick and ruthless, and was obviously a strictly trained killer. Although Qin Feng tried his best to deal with it, the opponent's attack was wave after wave, which made him unable to resist.

"This guy is not easy to deal with." Qin Feng gritted his teeth secretly, and his eyes became more fierce.

At this moment, Ye Li and Chu Tian also rushed over. When they saw Qin Feng was trapped, they immediately offered help.

"Frost Fox, freeze with cold air!" Ye Li shouted softly, and the cold air of the Frost Fox spread rapidly, instantly freezing the steps of the man in black.

"Good opportunity!" Qin Feng seized the opportunity and swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, pushing the man in black back several steps. Chu Tian took the opportunity to attack from the side, with the dagger pointing directly at the man's throat.

"Do you think you can win like this?" The man in black sneered, and actually forcibly shattered the Frost Fox's coldness, and struck Chu Tian with his backhand.

Chu Tian was shocked and took several steps back, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still stood firm: "Brother Feng, this guy is not simple!"

"They are the elite killers of the Dark Cult." Qin Feng judged calmly, "But we will not lose!"

The strength of the man in black was beyond Qin Feng's expectations, but he did not back down. After a fierce battle, Qin Feng gradually figured out the opponent's attack rhythm, and with the cooperation of Ye Li and Chu Tian, ​​he began to look for opportunities to counterattack.

"This guy is very fast, but not as strong as me." Qin Feng thought to himself, "As long as I can block his retreat, I will have a chance to defeat him."

Thinking of this, Qin Feng deliberately exposed his flaws to lure the man in black to attack him. The man in black was fooled, and he rushed forward suddenly, wanting to make a fatal blow.

"Now!" Qin Feng shouted in his heart, and the Dragon Shadow Sword suddenly changed its moves, and the sword light slashed at the side of the man in black like lightning. At the same time, Ye Li's Frost Fox attacked again, and the cold air instantly blocked the retreat of the man in black.

"Hmph!" The man in black snorted coldly. Although he realized that he had been tricked, he reacted very quickly and immediately blocked with his sword. However, this time Qin Feng did not give him any chance. The Dragon Shadow Sword directly hit his shoulder and knocked him out.

"You..." The man in black covered his injured shoulder, his face full of resentment, "You..."

"You don't have to struggle anymore." Qin Feng said coldly, pointing the Dragon Shadow Sword at the man in black, "Tell me, what is Ye You's plan?"

The man in black clenched his teeth, obviously not intending to reveal any information.

"Brother Feng, this guy won't speak easily." Zhang Meng strode over, "Do you want me to help him?"

"No need." Qin Feng shook his head. "We already know that Ye You is active here. Coupled with the appearance of these killers, it means that his plan should be related to this warehouse."

"Should we go in and find out what's going on?" Ye Li asked.

"Of course." Qin Feng nodded, "But be careful, Ye You may have set a trap."

Qin Feng and his group re-equipped and entered the warehouse cautiously. The light in the warehouse was still dim, but Qin Feng soon noticed that there were some strange runes on the ground, which were obviously part of some kind of formation.

"These runes..." Ye Li walked forward and studied them carefully, frowning slightly, "This is the sealing formation of the Dark Sect. It seems to be used to seal some powerful power."

"It seems that Ye You's plan is not just a simple action." Qin Feng said coldly, "He set up a sealing formation here, there must be some important purpose."

"Brother Feng, we have to find the core of this formation quickly." Chu Tian reminded, "We can't let Ye You succeed."

"Okay, let's split up and search every corner carefully." Qin Feng gave the order decisively.

After a careful search, they finally found a huge black stone tablet in the deepest part of the warehouse. The stone tablet was engraved with complex runes and exuded a disturbing aura.

"This is the core of the formation!" A cold light flashed in Ye Li's eyes, "As long as this stone tablet is destroyed, the formation will be ineffective."

“Then do it!” Zhang Meng shouted and raised his fist to hit the stone tablet.

"Wait!" Qin Feng suddenly stopped him, "There is a trap on this stone tablet, we can't attack it rashly."

"Brother Feng is right." Ye Li nodded in agreement, "The formations of the Dark Sect are never simple. If we attack directly, it may cause a greater disaster."

"Then what should we do?" Chu Tian asked, "We can't just leave it alone, right?"

"We can try to decipher these runes." Qin Feng said, "As long as we can crack the key points of the runes, we can successfully destroy the stone tablet."

"Let me try." Ye Li volunteered. She walked forward, gently stroked the runes on the stone tablet, and silently chanted a spell.

As she chanted, the runes on the stone tablet gradually began to dim, as if suppressed by some force.

"It's almost successful!" Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Ye Li's forehead, and she continued to speed up the speed of chanting the spell.

However, at this moment, the stone tablet suddenly made a low hum, and the air around it turned cold, as if some powerful force was awakening.

"Not good!" Qin Feng was shocked and immediately stood in front of Ye Li, "Retreat quickly!"

Ye Li withdrew her hand in time and retreated quickly. A black energy wave suddenly erupted from where she had just stood, almost swallowing her up.

"This stone tablet actually contains such power!" Zhang Meng said in shock.

"That's right, this formation is more complicated than we thought." Qin Feng said calmly, "We can't act rashly anymore, we need to find another way."

"Brother Feng, we have to think of a more reliable way." Ye Li said breathlessly. It was obvious that the previous attempt had consumed a lot of her energy.

"I have an idea." Qin Feng suddenly had an idea. He looked at the runes on the stone tablet, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. "We can use Yeyou's power to counter this formation."

"Brother Feng, what do you mean..." Chu Tian asked puzzledly.

"Ye You's dark power is the same as this formation. If we can lure him to attack this stone tablet with his power, perhaps we can trigger the backlash of the formation." Qin Feng explained.

"Good idea!" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, "Then let's lure Ye You over here!"

After careful planning, Qin Feng and his team decided to set up an ambush to lure Ye You in. In order not to alert the enemy, they deliberately made some noises to make Ye You notice something strange in the warehouse.

Sure enough, not long after, Ye You hurried over with a group of his men.

"It's you!" Ye You saw Qin Feng and his companions at a glance, and his face suddenly became gloomy, "You dare to come back!"

"Ye You, we are here to see you off for the last time." Qin Feng said coldly, the Dragon Shadow Sword trembling slightly in his hand, as if responding to his fighting spirit.

“Humph, do you think you can beat me this time?” Ye You sneered, the long sword in his hand flashing with a dark light, “I have been prepared for a long time, this time you will definitely die!”

"That may not be the case!" Qin Feng suddenly launched an attack, and the Dragon Shadow Sword drew a blue light and headed straight for Ye You.

Ye You snorted coldly and swung his sword forward. The two forces collided violently in the air, making a deafening noise.

"Now!" Qin Feng shouted, and at the same time Zhang Meng and Chu Tian attacked from both sides, forcing Ye You to concentrate his strength to deal with it.

"Damn it, you despicable villains!" Ye You roared angrily, and swung the sword in his hand violently. A powerful dark force hit Qin Feng directly.

"It's time!" Qin Feng gave an order, and Ye Li immediately launched cold air to block Ye You's retreat, forcing him to concentrate all his dark power on the attack.

"This is what will happen to you!" Ye You roared, pouring out all his strength. However, this was exactly what Qin Feng and the others wanted.

The dark power suddenly hit the stone tablet, and the runes on the stone tablet instantly vibrated violently, followed by a low explosion. Ye You felt a strong backlash force surging from the stone tablet, and his body was instantly blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

"No... Impossible..." Ye You struggled to stand up, but his body had been attacked by the dark power and he completely lost the ability to move.

"Ye You, this is your end." Qin Feng walked in front of Ye You, with the Dragon Shadow Sword pointing directly at his throat.

Ye You looked at Qin Feng, his eyes full of hatred and unwillingness, but he was no longer able to fight and could only close his eyes in despair.

With Ye You's fall, the activities of the Dark Cult in the town came to an end. Qin Feng and his partners successfully eliminated the threat and uncovered the conspiracy behind it.

"Brother Feng, we won!" Chu Tian said excitedly, his face full of joy.

"Yes, we won." Qin Feng smiled slightly. Although they went through many hardships, they finally succeeded in protecting the safety of the college and the town.

After completing the task, Qin Feng and his team returned to the college with the joy of victory. They received high praise from the whole college, especially Qin Feng's leadership ability, which was praised by Vice President Feng Jian.

"Brother Feng, what are your plans next?" Zhang Meng asked curiously, "Is there going to be a new mission?"

"Take a break and wait for the next instruction." Qin Feng said with a smile, "But no matter what challenge comes next, we will meet it."

"That's right, we are an invincible team!" Chu Tian laughed, "With Brother Feng leading us, we are not afraid of any enemy!"

Amidst the laughter, Qin Feng and his companions welcomed a brief peace. But they knew that this was just the beginning of another journey. No matter how many challenges there were in the future, they would face them as always and never back down.
