Chapter 94 The Prelude to the Counterattack

As Qin Feng and others gradually uncovered the conspiracy of the Flame Shadow Palace, they realized that time was running out and they had to take action as soon as possible. After several days of secret investigation, they finally got enough intelligence and were ready to launch a counterattack.

One night, Qin Feng, Ye Li, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng gathered in their residence, discussing the next action plan in a low voice.

"We have already grasped the Flame Shadow Palace's plan and the time and location of the ceremony. The most important thing now is how to stop them." Qin Feng said in a deep voice with a firm look in his eyes.

Ye Li spread out the information she had collected, pointed to a part of it and said, "According to our investigation, the Flame Shadow Palace's ceremony will be held on the night of the finals of the Soul Master Conference. They plan to use the energy of the competition to stimulate the dark power in the seal, and then release it through the ceremony."

"This is too crazy!" Chu Tian widened his eyes, unable to believe what he heard.

"But they are clearly well prepared," Zhang Meng said. "We can't take it lightly."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must formulate a careful plan to successfully prevent this disaster without alerting them."

After a heated discussion, everyone decided to divide the action into two parts: one part would be responsible for sneaking into the Flame Shadow Palace's base before the opening ceremony and destroying the key props needed for the ceremony; the other part would stay at the competition site and launch a counterattack immediately if any unusual movement was found in the Flame Shadow Palace.

"Ye Li and I will be responsible for the infiltration operation, while Chu Tian and Zhang Meng will stay at the scene, ready to respond to emergencies at any time." Qin Feng assigned the tasks.

Ye Li nodded in agreement, "We must make a quick decision and not give them time to react."

Chu Tianze smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will pay close attention to the scene and notify you immediately if there is any situation."

The next day, Qin Feng and Ye Li secretly left the training base of the Flame Shadow Palace and went to the main hall of the Flame Shadow Palace. This main hall is located deep in a mysterious forest and is usually only accessible to the core members of the Flame Shadow Palace.

"We have to be careful. There must be many defenses and traps here." Ye Li said softly.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, and they approached the main hall cautiously, and found that it was indeed surrounded by various warning arrays and traps. After careful observation, Qin Feng found a relatively hidden entrance.

"Go in from here." Qin Feng said in a low voice, and then led Ye Li into the main hall.

The main hall was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was extremely strange. The walls were covered with ancient runes and totems, and the air was filled with a suffocating dark atmosphere.

"This place is so eerie and scary." Ye Li felt a little uncomfortable, but she forced herself to stay calm.

They walked along the corridor and finally came to a huge altar. On the altar was a black box surrounded by several statues, as if guarding something important.

"It seems that this is the prop they use to start the ceremony." Qin Feng said calmly, "We must destroy it."

Just as Qin Feng was about to take action, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I didn't expect you would dare to trespass into our main hall." Yan Jue said coldly. She walked slowly out of the shadows with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Qin Feng and Ye Li turned around immediately and looked at Yan Jue warily.

"We already know your plan. We won't let you succeed." Ye Li said firmly, and the Frost Fox was ready to attack.

Yan Jue smiled contemptuously, "You think you are very smart, but you underestimate the power of Yanying Palace."

As he spoke, Yan Jue swung the staff in his hand violently, and a powerful force of fire rushed straight towards Qin Feng and Ye Li.

"Get out of the way!" Qin Feng shouted, waving the Dragon Shadow Sword to try to block the flames.

Ye Li dodged quickly and released the power of ice to fight against Yan Jue's fire power. The two forces collided violently in the air, making a deafening noise.

"You are quite powerful, but you are still far from being able to stop us." Yan Jue sneered and launched another attack.

Qin Feng and Ye Li tried their best to fight against Yan Jue, but Yan Jue was obviously well prepared. Her strength was so powerful that it was almost impossible to contend with her.

"We have to destroy the altar quickly!" Ye Li shouted. She knew that if she continued to pester him, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement. He quickly looked for an opportunity and took advantage of the gap in Yan Jue's attack to rush towards the altar.

"Want to destroy the altar? Don't even think about it!" Yan Jue shouted coldly and instantly cast a powerful fire barrier to surround the altar.

"Damn, her defense is too strong!" Qin Feng felt powerless, watching their actions get into trouble.

Just when Qin Feng and Ye Li were in a desperate situation, suddenly, the statues around the altar made a low humming sound. Then, a dazzling golden light shot out from above the altar and directly hit Yan Jue's flame barrier.

"What?" Yan Jue exclaimed. She obviously did not expect this scene.

The golden light faded, and an old man in a white robe walked out slowly. The staff in his hand flashed with a sacred light, as if it could dispel all darkness.

"Who are you?" Yan Jue asked vigilantly.

The old man smiled and said, "I am just a passer-by, but seeing what you did, I can't just sit there and watch."

Qin Feng and Ye Li immediately recognized the old man. He was the mysterious guardian who had helped them in the abandoned building before.

"He's here, we are saved!" Ye Li was delighted.

The old man didn't waste any words, and directly released a powerful light force, completely suppressing Yan Jue's flame power. Yan Jue was obviously unable to compete with it, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"You... won't succeed!" Yan Jue said gritting his teeth, then quickly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

Qin Feng and Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the altar, ready to destroy the black box.

"Let me do it." The old man said softly, and then released a powerful light, completely destroying the black box.

As the box disappeared, the dark aura on the altar gradually dissipated, and the entire main hall returned to peace.

"Thank you for your help." Qin Feng said gratefully.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "This is all your credit. I just gave a little help."

After successfully destroying the altar of the Flame Shadow Palace, Qin Feng and Ye Li quickly returned to the training base of the Flame Shadow Palace and reunited with Chu Tian and Zhang Meng.

"We succeeded, but the Flame Shadow Palace's plan has not yet been completely completed." Qin Feng said. He knew that the Flame Shadow Palace's conspiracy had not yet been completely disintegrated, and they must make further preparations.

Ye Li added: "We must notify Vice President Feng Jian immediately and tell him about our discovery."

Although this operation has achieved a phased victory, everyone knows that the real battle has just begun. Although the conspiracy of the Flame Shadow Palace has been thwarted, their power still exists and may come back at any time.

"We can't let our guard down." Qin Feng said with a firm look, "Next, we must go all out to welcome the final decisive battle."

Under the command of Vice President Feng Jian, the entire academy began intensive preparations for the battle. Qin Feng and others also practiced hard to improve their strength and prepare for the upcoming ultimate challenge.

As the decisive battle approaches, the atmosphere in the entire academy becomes extremely tense. Everyone realizes that this battle will determine their future and the fate of the soul master world.

However, despite the unknown road ahead, Qin Feng and his companions are still full of confidence and determination. They know that no matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as they unite as one, they will surely win.
