Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After the last dangerous operation, Qin Feng and his partners realized that the conspiracy of the Black Dragon leader was far more complicated than they thought. However, just as they were discussing how to deal with the next move, a new ally unexpectedly appeared and revealed some truths hidden behind the scenes.

"Brother Feng, this time I was in danger of death." Chu Tian rubbed his sore shoulders and complained, "Next time there is a mission like this, can you give me a better job? For example... responsible for logistics?"

Qin Feng patted Chu Tian on the back and said with a smile: "You are the smartest one in our team, so of course you have to do this kind of thing."

"You are smart, but you can't torture me to death every time." Chu Tian muttered, "My life is not worth much."

Zhang Meng laughed loudly: "Don't complain, we finally got away unscathed, we are lucky enough."

"Yes." Ye Li nodded, "But I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy waiting for us on the Black Dragon leader's side."

"So we have to prepare in advance." Qin Feng said seriously, "We can't act rashly this time. We need a more careful plan."

Just as they were about to discuss their next move, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Chu Tian shouted.

A strange voice came from the other side of the door: "It's me. I want to talk to you."

Qin Feng frowned, signaling everyone to be alert, and then slowly opened the door. Standing outside the door was a tall man in a gorgeous robe, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

The man smiled slightly and said without hesitation: "My name is Ling Xiao, and I am the Black Dragon Cult Leader's...former ally."

"Former ally?" Chu Tian raised his eyebrows. "You come to us now, are you planning to cooperate with us, or are you here to cause trouble?"

"Of course we will cooperate." Ling Xiao's smile did not fade. "The Black Dragon Cult Leader's ambition has gotten out of control. I don't intend to associate with him anymore. I came here hoping to cooperate with you to stop him together."

"Cooperation?" Ye Li narrowed her eyes slightly, "Do you think we would easily trust an enemy?"

"This is also why I came here." Ling Xiao said calmly, "I know you have doubts about me, but please listen to my explanation first. If you think I am untrustworthy, you can reject my proposal at any time."

Qin Feng was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, we'll give you this chance. Tell me about it."

Ling Xiao walked into the room, closed the door, and continued, "I used to be the right-hand man of the Black Dragon Cult Leader, but not long ago, I discovered that his plan was far crazier than I thought. Not only did he want to control the entire soul master world, he even attempted to open a door to another world through a forbidden ritual."

"The gate to another world?" Zhang Meng was obviously shocked by this statement. "What the hell is this?"

"To put it simply, through this ritual, he can summon powerful beings from other worlds to serve him." Ling Xiao explained, "This power cannot be controlled. Once it is activated, it will bring endless disasters."

"It sounds like the style of the Black Dragon Cult Leader." Ye Li said coldly, "He always likes to go to extremes."

"That's why I decided to leave him." Ling Xiao continued, "This time, I brought his action plan and key clues to the ritual. If we can stop him before he completes the ritual, then his conspiracy will not succeed."

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment and asked: "Then why did you choose us?"

Ling Xiao smiled: "Because you are the only ones who can fight him at the moment. Your strength and wit have proven themselves in many battles. I believe that only you can successfully stop him."

"You are quite good at talking." Chu Tian scratched his head, "But how do we know that what you said is true?"

Ling Xiao took out a roll of parchment from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng: "This is the Black Dragon Cult Leader's plan and the specific steps of the ceremony. You can judge its authenticity for yourself."

Qin Feng took the parchment, quickly glanced through it, and frowned slightly: "These contents do seem to be reasonable, but we still need time to verify them."

Ling Xiao nodded to show his understanding: "Of course, you have the right to be cautious. But please remember that time is running out. The Black Dragon Cult Master's ceremony has entered the final stage. We don't have much time to waste."

Discuss countermeasures

Qin Feng handed the parchment to Ye Li, motioning her to check it further, then looked at Ling Xiao: "If your information is true, we do need to act immediately. But before that, I have a question."

Ling Xiao bowed slightly: "Please speak."

"You said you were the Black Dragon's former ally, and now you're betraying him and joining us. Aren't you afraid that he will do something bad to you?" Qin Feng asked coldly.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly: "Of course he won't let me go, but I've already prepared myself. Since I've chosen to betray, there's no turning back. I'm willing to bear all the consequences."

"I hope you are serious." Qin Feng nodded, "Then, next we need to make a detailed plan on how to stop the Black Dragon Cult Leader's ritual."

Chu Tian interrupted, "Brother Feng, do you want us to split up? One group continues to collect intelligence, while the other group goes directly to stop the ceremony?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "This is a good suggestion. We do need to act separately. Ling Xiao, are you familiar with the Black Dragon Cult Leader's action plan?"

Ling Xiao nodded: "Not only am I familiar with it, I also know where he has deployed important defenses. We can use this information to find his weaknesses."

"Very good, then you will act with us." Qin Feng made the decision, "Everyone get ready, we will set off immediately."

Just as they were preparing to split up, Vice President Feng Jian suddenly rushed over with an extremely serious expression.

"Vice President, what happened?" Qin Feng asked quickly.

Vice Dean Feng Jian panted and said, "It's bad. A large number of members of the Dark Sect were found outside the academy. They are gathering quickly and seem to be preparing to launch a large-scale attack!"

"So fast?" Ye Li asked in surprise, "They actually attacked directly?"

"It seems we don't have time to prepare any more." Qin Feng clenched his fists, his eyes revealing determination, "Vice Dean, we must act immediately, organize defense, and stop the Black Dragon Cult Leader's ceremony at the same time!"

Vice Dean Feng Jian nodded: "I have ordered all disciples to prepare for the battle. You are responsible for stopping the ceremony, and the defense of the academy is left to us."

"Don't worry, we won't let them succeed!" Qin Feng said firmly.

Ling Xiao looked at Qin Feng and said solemnly: "Time is running out, the Black Dragon Cult Leader's ritual must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be too late."

"We'll set off immediately." Qin Feng ordered decisively, "Chu Tian, ​​you take some people to attract the enemy's attention and buy us some time. Ye Li, Zhang Meng, come with me to disrupt the ceremony."

"Understood!" Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng responded at the same time.

Ling Xiao followed behind Qin Feng, with a complex expression in his eyes: "I hope we can stop him successfully this time."

Qin Feng looked back at Ling Xiao and said softly, "Don't forget that you are now on the same boat with us. If you have any second thoughts, you know the consequences."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, I will never betray you."

In this way, Qin Feng and his party moved quickly and headed towards the Black Dragon Cult leader's ceremony site. As time passed, the tension in the air became more and more intense, and everyone knew that this battle would determine their fate.
