Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After defeating the three elders, Qin Feng and his companions had a short break. However, the conspiracy of the dark sect is far from over, and new enemies may appear at any time. While the academy's defenses are strengthened, an unexpected ally suddenly appears, bringing them crucial intelligence and revealing new mysteries.

The morning sun shines on the courtyard of the college, and the breeze brings bursts of flower fragrance. Qin Feng stands under a big tree, holding an ancient book in his hands, reading attentively.

"Brother Feng, what are you researching recently?" Chu Tian walked over from not far away, holding a few pieces of snacks in his hand, and asked while chewing.

"I'm studying some ancient formations, hoping that they can help us in future battles." Qin Feng put down the book, looked up and smiled.

"Formation, it sounds complicated." Chu Tian grinned, "But, with you here, I won't worry about it."

"You are always so lazy." Qin Feng shook his head and smiled, but there was a doting look on his face.

While they were chatting, a disciple from the academy came running over with a nervous look on his face: "Brother Qin Feng, a mysterious guest wants to see you."

"Mysterious guest?" Qin Feng frowned slightly, "Do you know who the other party is?"

"I'm not sure, but he claims to be your old friend." The disciple shook his head and said, "He was wearing a cloak that covered his face, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly."

"In that case, let's go and take a look." Qin Feng put down the book and walked towards the gate of the academy with Chu Tian.

Arriving at the gate of the academy, Qin Feng saw a mysterious man in a black cloak standing in front of the gate. His cloak hood was pulled down very low, almost covering his entire face, leaving only a pale chin.

"You're looking for me?" Qin Feng walked forward, his eyes inquiring, "You are..."

"Qin Feng, long time no see." The mysterious man gently lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing a familiar face.

"It's you!" A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, "Shadow? I thought you had left this continent."

"Yes, I left for a while, but now I have to come back." Shadow's voice was low and calm, with a hint of fatigue that could not be concealed. "I have important information to tell you."

"Youying, who is this?" Chu Tian looked at Youying with confusion, obviously curious about this stranger who suddenly appeared.

"He was one of my former allies who helped us in many battles." Qin Feng explained, then turned to Youying, "You said there was important intelligence. What is it?"

"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to talk." Shadow looked around and said in a low voice.

Qin Feng nodded and brought Youying to a secret room in the academy. The secret room was simply decorated, but secret and safe enough.

"Okay, now you can tell me." Qin Feng closed the door and sat opposite Youying. "What happened?"

"The conspiracy of the Dark Cult is more complicated than we imagined." Shadow said in a low voice, "They are plotting to revive an ancient evil god that has been sealed for a long time. If they succeed, this continent will fall into endless disaster."

"Ancient Evil God?" Qin Feng frowned, "This is something I have never heard of. How did you know about it?"

"When I was secretly investigating the Dark Cult, I found some of their confidential documents." Shadow explained, "These documents recorded in detail the Dark Cult's plans and how they were looking for the key item to revive the evil god - the 'God Stone'."

"'God's Stone'? What is that?" Chu Tian asked curiously.

"That is an ancient stone that contains a powerful dark force. It is said to be the core material for resurrecting the evil god." Shadow explained, "The Dark Cult has found part of the 'God's Stone' and is now looking for the rest."

"This is indeed a big problem." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, "If they succeed in resurrecting the evil god, this world may really face destruction."

"So we must stop them." Shadow said firmly, "I hope you can join forces with me to find the remaining 'God Stone' and destroy it completely."

"Of course, I'm willing to help." Qin Feng nodded in agreement, "But this matter cannot be done by just a few of us, we need to mobilize more forces."

"I have contacted some other allies, and they are willing to join us." Shadow said, "However, we must act quickly because the Dark Cult acts very quickly."

"Then where should we start?" Chu Tian asked, obviously eager to try.

"First, we need to find a key figure - an ancient soul master who once participated in sealing the evil god." Shadow said, "According to my investigation, his descendants are still alive and hold the key to unlocking the secret of the 'God Stone'."

"Where is this person?" Qin Feng asked.

"He is practicing in a hidden valley called Cangyun Mountain," Shadow replied, "However, that valley is protected by a powerful barrier. We need to find a way to open the barrier."

"It sounds like the mission is not easy." Chu Tian muttered, "But we will not be intimidated."

"When do we set off?" Qin Feng asked.

"The sooner the better." Shadow replied, "The Dark Cult moves very quickly. We can't delay any longer."

"Okay, let's act immediately." Qin Feng decided decisively, "I will notify Vice President Feng Jian and ask him to arrange for people to defend the academy, and we will head to Cangyun Mountain."

Qin Feng took Youying to see Vice Dean Feng Jian and reported the incident in detail. After hearing this, Vice Dean Feng Jian's face became solemn.

"This matter is indeed of great importance." Vice Dean Feng Jian said, "Qin Feng, you go and carry out the mission. I will arrange the defense of the academy to ensure the safety here."

"Thank you for the support, Vice President." Qin Feng said gratefully, "We will complete the task as soon as possible and stop the conspiracy of the Dark Cult."

"Be careful." Vice Dean Feng Jian patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and warned, "Don't underestimate the enemy. We have seen the power of the Dark Sect. We must not take it lightly."

"I understand." Qin Feng nodded solemnly.

After everything was arranged, Qin Feng, Youying, Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li, Zhang Meng and Wang Hao set out together, heading towards Cangyun Mountain. Although they knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, everyone's eyes were filled with firm faith.

Cangyun Mountain is an ancient and mysterious mountain range. According to legend, it was once a holy place for ancient soul masters to practice. Today, it has been deserted and only a few people know of its existence.

"We must be careful, the barrier there may not only be for defense." Shadow reminded on the way, "It may also hide some powerful guardians."

"What guardian?" Zhang Meng asked curiously.

“It could be some kind of ancient spirit beast, or it could be the remnant of the evil god.” Shadow explained, “In any case, we must be careful.”

"I'm ready." Wang Hao clenched his fists and said with fighting spirit, "No matter what it is, don't try to stop us."

"Brother Feng, will we encounter any tough opponents this time?" Chu Tian teased, "I hope we don't meet a guy like the Third Elder again."

"It might be more difficult." Qin Feng smiled calmly, "But only difficult opponents are challenging, aren't they?"

"That's true." Chu Tian said with a smile, "I'm actually looking forward to it."

They climbed all the way and finally arrived at the foot of Cangyun Mountain in the evening. The air here was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and the entrance to the valley was shrouded in a layer of faint light, which was obviously the location of the barrier.

"It is here." Shadow said, "But we must find a way to enter the barrier, otherwise we will not be able to enter the valley."

"Let me try." Ye Li walked forward and gently stroked the surface of the barrier. The frost fox's cold energy flowed in her hands, trying to sense the structure of the barrier.

"Brother Feng, I feel that the barrier here is very strong, but there seems to be a slight gap." Ye Li said, "Perhaps we can use this gap to break the barrier."

"Okay, let's work together." Qin Feng said, and the Dragon Shadow Sword was unsheathed again, flashing with a faint light. He concentrated his spiritual power on the tip of the sword, ready to attack.

The others also gathered their strength and prepared to work together to break the barrier. At a command, Qin Feng led everyone to attack at the same time, and the spiritual power and cold air gathered together to hit the weak point of the barrier.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the barrier finally cracked open with the joint efforts of everyone, revealing the entrance to the valley.

"Success!" Chu Tian shouted excitedly.

"Don't take it lightly, this is just the beginning." Shadow said calmly, "There may be greater dangers hidden in the valley."

"We are ready." Qin Feng said firmly, "No matter what lies ahead, we will not retreat."

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Feng led the team slowly into the valley. As they entered, the cracks in the barrier gradually closed, and the scene in the valley gradually emerged - ancient ruins, mottled stone statues, and those guardians who seemed to be waiting for their arrival.
