Chapter 77 Infiltration Operation

As night fell, the entire academy was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Led by instructor Ling Yun, Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian, ​​and Zhang Meng quietly left the academy and embarked on an adventurous journey to infiltrate the dark sect's stronghold.

The forest at night was full of mystery. The moonlight shone through the leaves onto the ground, casting mottled shadows. Qin Feng and the others moved forward cautiously, trying to keep every step as silent as possible.

"The stronghold is ahead, we must be vigilant." Ling Yun said in a low voice, his voice sounded particularly calm in the night.

When they approached the base, they found that there were more dark soul masters patrolling around than expected. Qin Feng felt his heart tighten, and he clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

According to the plan, they avoided the main patrol route and sneaked in through a side door of the stronghold. The defense of the side door was indeed relatively weak, and Qin Feng and others successfully entered the stronghold.

After entering the stronghold, Ling Yun led them through the intricate passages. Whenever a dark soul master passed by, they would quickly hide in the shadows, hold their breath, and wait for the enemy to leave.

"The intelligence room is just ahead." Ling Yun reminded softly.

They came to a small room, the door was slightly ajar, and a dim light shone through. Ye Li entered the room first and saw that it was full of scrolls and documents, which were exactly the information they needed.

"We have to hurry and not let them find out." Qin Feng whispered.

Ye Li quickly flipped through the scrolls, trying to find useful information. Just as she found a document marked "confidential", hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Qin Feng immediately signaled everyone to stop, and everyone held their breath nervously and hid in the shadows of the room. The patrol team outside the door seemed to have noticed something, and their footsteps paused at the door for a while, but in the end they did not find anything unusual and continued to move forward.

Qin Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Li quickly put away the documents she had found. Ling Yun signaled everyone to move on, as they had to complete the task as quickly as possible to avoid any more trouble.

Just as they were about to retreat, Chu Tian accidentally discovered a hidden secret room. The door of the secret room was half open, and a strange light shone from inside.

"Something seems strange here." Chu Tian said in a low voice.

Qin Feng led everyone into the secret room and found a huge black crystal inside. The crystal emitted strange energy fluctuations, and the whole room was filled with an ominous atmosphere.

"This is the core of the Dark Source Crystal," Ling Yun explained, "The power of the Dark Cult is likely derived from this crystal. If we can destroy it, their power will be greatly weakened."

Hearing this, Qin Feng knew that he had to destroy the crystal. They immediately took action, Ye Li released the power of ice, trying to freeze the energy of the crystal, while Qin Feng concentrated all his strength, ready to smash it in one fell swoop.

Just when they were about to succeed, the alarm system of the secret room was suddenly triggered, and the piercing alarm sounded throughout the stronghold. The soul masters of the dark sect immediately became alert and swarmed in, trying to trap them in the secret room.

"We must leave quickly!" Ling Yun said decisively, summoning his martial spirit to block the enemies that were rushing towards them.

Qin Feng and his partners fought hard and launched a fierce battle with Ling Yun. Although the enemy was numerous, they successfully repelled wave after wave of attacks with their tacit cooperation and strong fighting power.

Finally, under the cover of Ling Yun, Qin Feng successfully destroyed the Dark Source Crystal. With a loud bang, the crystal shattered, and the Dark Sect's energy source was completely destroyed.

They knew that they had to retreat immediately, otherwise they would be surrounded. Ling Yun led them to break through the encirclement and successfully escaped the heavy encirclement by using the familiar routes inside the stronghold.

Although the process was extremely thrilling, they finally completed the mission successfully and returned to the academy with important intelligence and spoils.
