Chapter 80 Raid on the Dark Stronghold

As night fell, Qin Feng and his companions quietly approached the base of the Dark Sect under the cover of darkness. After many lurking and reconnaissances, they finally found this secret base hidden in the mountains and dense forests. This action is not only related to the safety of the academy, but also to the fate of the entire soul master world.

The night was dark, and the wind in the forest rustled the leaves, giving people a depressing feeling. Qin Feng led the team forward carefully, and everyone breathed a little lighter to avoid being noticed by the enemy.

"The stronghold of the dark sect is ahead." Mentor Ling Yun said in a low voice, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the black shadow in front.

Ye Li followed closely behind Qin Feng, her frost fox lowered its head from time to time to sniff the air around her to make sure there were no traps or enemy ambushes. Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were on guard on both sides of the team, with the storm wolf and giant rock bear ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Everyone be careful, we have to sneak in quickly and not alert the enemy." Qin Feng reminded them as he walked, the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand emitting a faint blue light, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

They soon came to a hidden stone door, which seemed to be the only entrance to the interior of the stronghold. The stone door was engraved with complex runes, and it was faintly flashing with an ominous light.

"These runes seem to be a warning formation." Ye Li observed for a while and said in a low voice, "If they are destroyed directly, it may cause a large-scale alarm."

"What should we do then?" Chu Tian frowned, "We don't have time to slowly crack it."

Teacher Ling Yun pondered for a moment, then took out a crystal from his arms and gently pressed it on the rune on the stone door. The crystal emitted a soft light, and the rune began to fade, and the stone door slowly opened.

"Okay, let's go in." Teacher Ling Yun smiled faintly and motioned for everyone to go in.

After entering the stronghold, the dark passage inside was winding and twisting, and some dim soul lamps were hung on the walls, emitting a cold light. Qin Feng and his companions walked carefully along the passage, and everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme.

"The defense here is tighter than I thought." Zhang Meng said in a low voice. He felt the spiritual energy fluctuations around him were extremely strong.

They walked forward, avoiding several patrolling dark soul masters, and finally came to a spacious hall. There were a lot of documents and scrolls in the hall, which looked like the intelligence center of the stronghold.

"This is the place we are looking for." Teacher Ling Yun nodded slightly, signaling everyone to act quickly.

Ye Li immediately began to search for useful information, her movements were swift and methodical, while Qin Feng stood at the door alertly, making sure no one noticed their actions.

However, just when Ye Li found a key piece of information, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside. Qin Feng immediately signaled everyone to stop, and everyone quickly hid in the shadows.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door. Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

Just as they were holding their breath, the footsteps outside the door suddenly turned and left, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a little. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to collect intelligence.

"This scroll records their action plan." Ye Li whispered, "It seems that they are planning to launch an attack at dawn tomorrow, targeting the academy's defense formation."

"We have to bring this information back as soon as possible." Qin Feng decided decisively, "Let's go!"

They quickly gathered the intelligence and prepared to evacuate. At this moment, a dark soul master suddenly broke into the hall, apparently on patrol. When he saw Qin Feng and others, his face changed drastically and he immediately sounded the alarm.

"Enemy attack! There are invaders!" The dark soul master shouted, immediately attracting a large number of enemies.

"Hurry up!" Instructor Ling Yun shouted, leading everyone to retreat quickly. Qin Feng and his companions followed closely, fighting and retreating, trying to escape from the chaos.

The soul masters of the Dark Sect came from all directions, and Qin Feng and others were caught in a fierce battle. Qin Feng wielded the Dragon Shadow Sword and quickly killed several enemies who blocked his way, while Ye Li used the Frost Fox to create an ice barrier, temporarily blocking the enemy's offensive.

"We are surrounded, we have to find a way to break out!" Chu Tian said anxiously while summoning storm wolves to attack the enemy.

"Follow me!" Instructor Ling Yun decisively led them to another passage, which was a secret passage leading to the outside of the stronghold.

They rushed all the way and finally found the exit to the outside world. However, when they were about to leave, a powerful energy wave suddenly hit Zhang Meng who was clearing the way.

Zhang Meng cried out in pain and his body was blown away. The giant rock bear immediately pounced on him to protect him.

"Zhang Meng!" Qin Feng was shocked and immediately rushed over to help Zhang Meng up. Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and stood up. Although he was injured, he still said firmly: "I'm fine, let's go!"

Everyone worked together to repel the pursuing enemies and finally succeeded in breaking out of the secret passage. Although the process was full of dangers, they finally returned to the academy safely with important intelligence.
