Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After successfully retreating from the lair of the Dark Cult, Qin Feng and his team returned to the academy. Just as they were discussing their next move, an unexpected visitor disrupted their plan. This time, they faced an unexpected challenge.

After returning to the academy, Qin Feng and his friends lay down in the dormitory to rest, but Chu Tian was obviously restless. He fell on the bed and shouted loudly: "Brother Feng, do you think we should celebrate? After all, this infiltration operation was a success!"

Zhang Meng leaned against the bed and shook his head: "Celebrate? Didn't you drink enough last time?"

"Let's do something else this time, like a big meal?" Chu Tian suggested, "After all, Brother Feng is both wise and brave, and he beat the Black Dragon leader so hard that he lost his temper!"

"Don't mention it. The last time we had the Drunken Dragon Brew, we almost got ourselves into trouble." Ye Li said with a smile, "Let's make a plan first this time."

Just as they were chatting and laughing, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"Who is it?" Zhang Meng asked loudly.

A deep voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Vice President Feng Jian."

"Vice President?" Qin Feng was stunned, then quickly opened the door, "Vice President, why are you here?"

Vice Dean Feng Jian walked in with a serious look on his face. He glanced at Qin Feng and his companions, and said with a hint of anxiety: "I have something important to tell you. An uninvited guest came to the academy just now. He claimed to be a traitor of the Dark Cult and wanted to cooperate with us."

"A traitor from the Dark Cult?" Chu Tian's eyes widened. "Isn't this too sudden? Is he here to plot something?"

"I had my doubts, but the intelligence he brought is indeed valuable." Vice Dean Feng Jian nodded, "He told us that the Black Dragon Cult leader is planning a bigger conspiracy and is attempting to launch a devastating attack. If we don't take action, the consequences will be disastrous."

Qin Feng frowned and thought: "Then how did he convince you?"

Vice Dean Feng Jian said in a deep voice: "He said that he has mastered the details of the Black Dragon Cult Leader's plan, and is willing to provide key intelligence to help us disrupt this operation. In exchange, he hopes to be protected by our college."

"That sounds a bit unreliable." Ye Li shook her head. "The people of the Dark Sect are cruel and ruthless. Can he really trust them?"

"I understand everyone's concerns, so I came here specifically to ask you to talk to him." Vice Dean Feng Jian looked at Qin Feng, "I hope you can judge his true intentions from his words."

Qin Feng nodded: "We are willing to give it a try, but if we find that he has a problem, we will never show mercy."

Vice President Feng Jian smiled approvingly: "I am impressed by your wit and decisiveness. Come with me, he is waiting in the secret room of the academy now."

Qin Feng and his group followed Vice President Feng Jian to the secret room of the academy. The light in the secret room was dim, and a man in a black robe was standing in the middle of the room, his face hidden under the hood and could not be seen clearly.

"Are you the traitor?" Chu Tian asked bluntly.

The black-robed man raised his head, revealing a pale face with a trace of fatigue in his eyes: "Traitor? Perhaps you can call me that. But I prefer to be called... an awakened one."

"Awakened?" Zhang Meng scratched his head in confusion. "What have you awakened? Conscience?"

The black-robed man chuckled, "You may think so. The Black Dragon Cult Leader's ambition is too crazy. I can no longer follow him. Continuing to work for him will only destroy myself and the entire world."

"So you decided to defect and come to us for cooperation?" Qin Feng looked directly into the other person's eyes, trying to see through his words.

"That's right." The black-robed man nodded. "The Black Dragon Cult Leader is preparing to launch an extremely destructive ritual. He has gathered enough forces and intends to destroy several major soul master academies to expand his power."

Ye Li couldn't help but ask: "Since you know all this, why don't you just stop him?"

"You have underestimated the power of the Black Dragon Cult Leader." The black-robed man said in a low voice, "His strength has exceeded most people's imagination. Only by uniting more forces can we stop his madness."

"What about the information you brought?" Qin Feng said in a serious tone, "You said you want to cooperate, at least you have to let us know how sincere you are."

The man in black robe took out a roll of parchment from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng: "This is the Black Dragon Cult Leader's recent action plan, including the location and time he plans to launch the attack. If you are willing to cooperate, I will provide more information."

Qin Feng took the parchment and quickly glanced through it, frowning: "This information looks real, but we need to verify it."

"You have the right to doubt me." The black-robed man said slowly, "I am willing to cooperate with all your investigations. As long as I can stop the Black Dragon Cult Leader's plan, I am willing to pay any price."

Vice President Feng Jian looked at Qin Feng: "What do you think?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "His intelligence is indeed credible to a certain extent, but we cannot trust him completely. I suggest that we split into two groups, one to verify the intelligence and the other to monitor his actions."

Chu Tian immediately responded: "Brother Feng is right, I can bring people to verify the information and see if this guy is fooling us."

Ye Li nodded in agreement: "And I can be responsible for monitoring him and make sure he doesn't do anything tricky."

Vice President Feng Jian nodded with satisfaction: "Then do as you say. Remember, no matter what happens, ensuring your own safety is the first priority."

The man in black robes looked at them calmly: "You are right to be cautious, but please believe me, I have only one goal - to stop the Black Dragon Cult Leader."

Qin Feng smiled coldly: "Believe you? That depends on your performance next. Now, tell us all the details you know. If you lie in any place, you know the consequences."

The man in black robe smiled slightly: "I will tell you everything I know."

Just as they were about to leave the secret room and start their respective tasks, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open and a guard from the academy ran in in a panic.

"Deputy Dean, something bad has happened! A group of unidentified people are approaching the academy, and they look very powerful!"

Vice Dean Feng Jian's face changed: "Unknown identity? Could it be the Black Dragon Sect Leader's men?"

"It could be, or it could be some other force." The guard panted, "They are numerous and aggressive."

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed: "It seems that we have to take action immediately. Vice President, should we take the initiative?"

Vice President Feng Jian nodded and said, "The situation is urgent. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Qin Feng, you lead a team to fight. Be sure to find out the other party's intentions."

"Understood!" Qin Feng agreed decisively, turned around and said to Chu Tian: "You take some people to stay and continue to verify the intelligence. Ye Li, you take him with me to deal with the enemies outside."

"No problem!" Chu Tian and Ye Li responded at the same time.

Qin Feng led the team quickly to the outside of the academy. From a distance, he saw a group of people in black robes slowly approaching from a distance.

"They are indeed from the Dark Sect." Ye Li said coldly, "They came really quickly."

"It seems that they are here to test our strength." Qin Feng sneered, "If that's the case, then let's teach them a severe lesson!"

Following Qin Feng's order, the team deployed quickly. They approached the enemy cautiously, ready to defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, the leading black-robed man suddenly shouted, "Wait, we are not here to fight!"

Qin Feng was stunned, raised his hand and signaled the team to stop: "Aren't you here to fight? Then what are you doing here?"

The leading black-robed man took off his hood, revealing the face of a middle-aged man: "We are traitors of the Dark Sect. We came here in the hope of cooperating with you to fight against the Black Dragon Sect Leader."

Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and he turned around to look at the man in black robe standing behind him: "It seems that what you said about defection is true."

The man in black robe nodded. "Yes, they are the ones who decided to leave the Dark Sect with me. This action is to prove our sincerity."

Qin Feng smiled coldly: "Well, since you are sincere in surrendering, prove it to us."

The middle-aged man nodded: "We are willing to pay any price, as long as you can accept our cooperation."

Qin Feng looked at the group of people in front of him and thought to himself. Their arrival was indeed unexpected, but was it an opportunity or a trap? He couldn't be sure.

"Vice Dean, what do you think?" Qin Feng asked Vice Dean Feng Jian for his opinion through spiritual power.

Vice President Feng Jian hesitated for a moment, then replied in a voice transmission: "Accept their cooperation for the time being, but remain vigilant and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time."

Qin Feng nodded, and then said to the middle-aged man in the lead: "Okay, we accept your cooperation, but you must strictly follow our instructions. Anyone who disobeys orders will be regarded as an enemy."

The middle-aged man bowed slightly: "We understand, we will follow your instructions."

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, next, you will work with us to stop the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Cult Leader."

With the end of this negotiation, the atmosphere inside and outside the academy became more tense. Qin Feng and his partners had no time to rest and immediately plunged into intense preparations for the battle.

"Everyone, be careful. This time we may be facing the most dangerous enemy." Qin Feng said to the team, "No matter what happens, we must remain calm and ensure the safety of the academy."

Ye Li clenched the Frost Fox in her hand: "Brother Feng, we will do our best."

Zhang Meng also nodded heavily: "Yes, we will never let the Black Dragon Cult Leader succeed!"

"Then let us face the upcoming battle." Qin Feng gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, his eyes determined.

The conspiracy of the dark sect is approaching step by step, and Qin Feng and his partners are about to face an unprecedented challenge. In this battle, they must not only protect the academy, but also expose the real threat hidden in the darkness.
