Chapter 21 The seal is broken

After leaving the ruins, Qin Feng and his companions were always lingering with a sense of uneasiness. They vaguely felt that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this action. However, the sudden appearance and forced intervention of Vice President Feng Jian prevented them from getting to the bottom of the matter.

After returning to the academy, Qin Feng finally couldn't help but ask Feng Jian a question: "Deputy Dean, what exactly is the Dark Cult doing in the ruins? What plan of theirs did we disrupt this time?"

Feng Jian was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "You have done a good job and disrupted their important operations. But I can't tell you too much. The power of the Dark Sect is huge. Their target is not only the academy, but also the entire soul master world."

"But we are already involved in it and can't just stand aside." Qin Feng insisted.

Feng Jian looked at him with a hint of approval and concern in his eyes: "I know you have great potential, but now is not the time for you to come forward. I hope you will continue to improve your strength, and when the time is right, more truth will naturally be revealed."

Although he had many questions in his mind, Qin Feng could only suppress them temporarily and continue to practice.

After a period of training, Qin Feng and his companions gradually recovered from the previous battle. Their strength was constantly improving, but the doubts and uneasiness in their hearts still lingered.

One day, when Qin Feng was practicing the Dragon Shadow Sword, he suddenly felt a strange force coming from the sword. That force was not like the lightning force before, but it carried a dark and cold aura.

"What's going on?" Qin Feng frowned. He clearly felt that this power was related to a soul ring he had absorbed before.

In order to find out the truth, Qin Feng came to the spiritual power testing room of the academy alone, trying to detect the source of this power. He placed the Dragon Shadow Sword on the spiritual power detector, and the sword immediately glowed darkly, and then a string of strange data appeared on the detector.

"Is this... the power of darkness?" Qin Feng murmured in surprise. A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that in the previous battle, some kind of dark power has penetrated into his martial soul?

At this moment, Feng Jian suddenly appeared with a serious expression: "Qin Feng, what are you doing?"

Qin Feng told Feng Jian about his discovery, and Feng Jian's face became even more serious after hearing it: "It seems that my previous guess was correct. You came into contact with the power of the Dark Cult in that battle, and this power may have begun to erode your martial spirit."

Qin Feng was shocked: "What should I do? Will this affect my practice?"

Feng Jian pondered for a moment, then said: "It is not clear how much influence this power has on you, but we cannot just sit there and wait for death. I will arrange a special training course for you to help you control and purify this power."

The special training course that Vice President Feng Jian arranged for Qin Feng was not in the academy, but in a hidden valley far away from human habitation. This place was full of spiritual energy and had a peaceful environment, making it an excellent place to practice and purify spiritual power.

"You need to practice here quietly and control the dark power in your body." Feng Jian warned, "Remember, don't rush for success. It is most important to stabilize your mind."

Qin Feng nodded and began to practice according to Feng Jian's instructions. He sat cross-legged beside the spiritual spring in the valley, concentrating his mind and gradually guiding the flow of spiritual power in his body. He could feel that the dark power was stirring in his body, but he remained calm and tried to suppress it.

As time went by, Qin Feng gradually mastered the method of controlling this power. He found that although this dark power was full of instability, if it could be used reasonably, it would become a powerful aid.

However, things are not that simple. Just as Qin Feng gradually gained control of the dark power, a group of assassins from the dark sect suddenly sneaked into the valley. Their target was obviously Qin Feng, and they wanted to launch a sneak attack on him while he was practicing.

Qin Feng sensed the danger and reacted quickly. He drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the dark power on the sword intertwined with the power of thunder and lightning, bursting out with powerful might.

"Is your target me?" Qin Feng asked coldly.

The leading assassin sneered and said, "You have something that our leader likes. You must come with us today."

Qin Feng said nothing more, he knew that negotiation was useless and fighting was inevitable. He quickly launched an attack, the sword light of the Dragon Shadow Sword swept out like thunder, instantly forcing back several assassins.

However, these assassins were obviously specially trained, and their attacks came in waves, making it difficult for Qin Feng to escape for a while. At the critical moment, Feng Jian suddenly appeared and repelled the remaining assassins with one move.

"Let's go, it's not safe here." Feng Jian said hurriedly.

Qin Feng followed Feng Jian and quickly evacuated the valley, but his heart became heavier. He knew that the Dark Sect had already set their sights on him, and the days ahead would be even more dangerous.

After returning to the academy, Qin Feng told his friends about this experience, and everyone felt the seriousness of the situation. The actions of the Dark Cult were obviously escalating, and they were at the center of the storm.

"We can't just passively defend anymore, we have to take action." Chu Tian said in a deep voice.

"That's right, we have to find their base and completely destroy their plan." Ye Li agreed.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, his eyes determined: "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we will not retreat. This time, we will take the initiative to uncover all the conspiracies of the Dark Cult!"

With the support of his partners, Qin Feng made up his mind to no longer be afraid, but bravely face the greater challenges that were coming.
