Chapter 88 Hidden Threat

As life in the academy gradually returned to calm, Qin Feng and others' cultivation also entered a stable rhythm. However, a hidden threat was quietly approaching, and they didn't know that this challenge would be more difficult than ever before.

One night, Qin Feng was sitting alone in his dormitory meditating when he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation. He opened his eyes suddenly and found that the night outside the window seemed darker than usual.

"What's going on? This feeling..." Qin Feng frowned. His intuition has always been accurate, and this uneasy feeling made him a little nervous.

He immediately stood up and went to discuss with Ye Li and others. When he arrived at Ye Li's dormitory, he found Ye Li standing by the window with a serious expression.

"Did you feel it too?" Ye Li asked, turning back.

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, I feel something is wrong."

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng soon came over, and everyone felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Although there were no specific signs of danger, this uneasiness made them unable to ignore it.

"Should we go and discuss this with Vice President Feng Jian?" Chu Tian suggested.

"Don't alarm him for now, it might just be our illusion." Qin Feng pondered for a moment and decided to observe for a while, "However, we still have to remain vigilant."

Although Qin Feng and others decided not to alarm others for the time being, their uneasiness grew day by day. A few days later, a strange thing happened.

Some students in the academy began to report that they saw strange black shadows at night. These black shadows seemed to wander around the campus like ghosts, and would quickly disappear once someone approached.

"Could they be people sent by the Dark Sect?" Zhang Meng frowned. He felt very uneasy about this mysterious phenomenon.

Ye Li shook her head. "Not really. Their actions are always direct and they won't do anything weird."

Chu Tianze suggested: "We should investigate the truth about these shadows and not let them continue to scare everyone."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "Yes, we have to find out what these black shadows are."

They decided to split up at night and search for the traces of those dark shadows.

As night fell, Qin Feng and the others scattered in various corners of the academy, quietly waiting for the shadow to appear. As time passed, the darkness grew darker and darker, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of wind blowing through the leaves could be heard.

"Strange, why is there nothing?" Chu Tian muttered in his heart. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a strange black shadow out of the corner of his eye.

The shadow flashed by, and Chu Tian immediately chased after it. However, the shadow was so fast that Chu Tian lost its trace after a few steps.

"Damn, he runs so fast!" Chu Tian regretted himself.

At the same time, Qin Feng also discovered a dark shadow, and he quickly followed it. Unlike Chu Tian's anxiety, Qin Feng chose to keep his distance and observe quietly.

The shadow passed through several paths and finally disappeared into a forest. Qin Feng approached quietly and found that this was actually an abandoned building in the back mountain of the college.

"Why is there a dark shadow here?" Qin Feng felt very strange and decided to go in and check.

When Qin Feng entered the abandoned building, his heartbeat began to speed up. This place had obviously been abandoned for many years, the ground was full of dust and cobwebs, and the surroundings were strangely quiet.

"Is there some secret here?" Qin Feng walked carefully on the worn floor, trying to make each step as light as possible.

Suddenly, he felt a chill coming from behind. Qin Feng turned around and saw a dark shadow slowly approaching him. This dark shadow was clearer than the previous one, like a ghost without a physical body.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Qin Feng asked in a deep voice, the Dragon Shadow Sword was already unsheathed, ready to fight at any time.

However, the shadow did not answer, but continued to approach him. Qin Feng felt a strong pressure coming, and this feeling made him unable to move.

"Oh no, what on earth is this thing?" Qin Feng's heart was filled with alarm.

Just as the shadow was about to approach him, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from behind the shadow. The shadow was hit by the light, let out a piercing scream, and then quickly dissipated.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to see Ye Li standing at the door. The Frost Fox in her hand released an icy light, completely dispelling the black shadow.

"Are you okay?" Ye Li asked with concern.

Qin Feng nodded, still feeling a lingering fear, "Thank you, what was that just now?"

Ye Li shook her head, "I don't know, but we must tell Vice President Feng Jian the news."

The next morning, Qin Feng and Ye Li told Vice Dean Feng Jian about their experiences last night. After listening to their description, Feng Jian's expression became extremely solemn.

"This matter is not simple. It may be related to the dark source crystal we destroyed earlier." Feng Jian pondered for a moment and said, "I will arrange an investigation immediately. You should also be more careful."

Qin Feng and Ye Li nodded. They knew that this crisis might be more serious than ever before.

As the investigation unfolds, the atmosphere in the academy becomes increasingly tense. A dark shadow seems to be gradually looming, threatening everyone.

"We must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the academy will be in greater danger." Qin Feng made up his mind secretly.

Despite the numerous crises, he and his companions are still full of fighting spirit. They know that no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, they will fight side by side and face them together.
