Chapter 209: The Mystery of Jade, Unexpected Visitors

The light of the stone tablet gradually faded, and Qin Feng and his companions walked out of the ruins and returned to the valley of Cangyun Mountain. The sun shone on their faces, and the air was filled with the fresh breath of the adventure.

"That piece of jade is really amazing." Chu Tian looked at the jade in Qin Feng's hand and couldn't help but sighed, "The runes on it feel like there is an inexplicable power."

"Indeed." Qin Feng nodded and put the jade into a small bag. "But we still need to study its secrets. Next, we have to find an expert who can decipher these runes."

"The road ahead is still full of unknowns." Ye Li said softly, "We must be fully prepared."

"Don't worry." Qin Feng comforted her with a smile, "We have been through so much, there is nothing that can stop us now."

At this moment, suddenly, a strong spiritual power fluctuation came from the other end of the valley, and then a figure approached quickly.

"Someone is coming!" Wang Hao said vigilantly, his body slightly tense.

They quickly formed up and prepared to deal with possible threats. The figure gradually revealed its true appearance. It was a mysterious person wearing a blue robe, with his face covered by a veil, and only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The mysterious figure's voice was low and cold, with a strong sense of oppression.

"We came out of the ruins." Qin Feng stepped forward and remained calm. "We are looking for a way to crack the runes on the jade."

"Jade?" A hint of surprise flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. "Did you find jade?"

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded to confirm, "Do you know it?"

The mysterious man was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing whether to reveal more information. Finally, he slowly spoke: "The runes on the jade are indeed very complicated, but I may be able to help you decipher them. However, the price of helping you is... you must complete a task."

"Mission?" Chu Tian frowned and asked, "What mission is it?"

The mysterious man's eyes swept over them, and his voice became heavier: "A force is rising in secret, trying to threaten the world. You need to find and eliminate the source of this force. Only in this way can you ensure that the secret of the jade will not fall into the hands of evil."

"What is this power you are talking about?" Ye Li asked.

"I can't say much about the details of this power." The mysterious man's voice was mysterious, "but it has some connection with the Dark Cult. Your mission is to investigate and solve all of this."

"If we accept this task, can you help us decipher the runes on the jade?" Qin Feng asked.

"Okay." The mysterious man nodded, "It will take me some time, but I promise I can unlock its secrets."

"Okay." Qin Feng decided, "We accept the mission. However, we need you to provide some clues to help us find the source as soon as possible."

The mysterious man nodded, then took out a map from his robe and handed it to Qin Feng: "This map marks several possible clue locations. You can start investigating from these locations."

Qin Feng took the map and carefully looked at the markings on it, and found that several of the locations were far away from their current location.

"Thank you for your help." Qin Feng said, "We will investigate these locations as soon as possible."

"Remember, your mission is not only to resolve the threat at hand, but also for the safety of the entire world." The mysterious figure finally said, "I hope you can succeed."

As the words fell, the figure of the mysterious person gradually became blurred and finally disappeared in the distance of the valley. Qin Feng and his companions stood there, looking at each other.

"It seems that our task has become even more difficult." Zhang Meng sighed, "The enemy this time should not be underestimated."

"We don't have time to hesitate." Qin Feng took a deep breath, "This responsibility falls on our shoulders, and we must complete it."

"Then let's take action." Chu Tian patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, "Let's find clues as soon as possible and solve this mystery."

Everyone nodded and decided to follow the instructions on the map and head to the first marked location. No matter how many difficulties lay ahead, they were fearless and continued on their new adventure.

In the valley of Cangyun Mountain, the sun shines through the treetops and shines on them, adding a glimmer of hope to their journey. Qin Feng and his companions are full of determination and faith, ready to meet all challenges in the future.
