Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Qin Feng and his companions hurried back to the Soul Master Academy, their minds full of the news brought by the messenger student. Everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts. The urgent summons from Vice President Feng Jian meant that something major must have happened.

"The vice president called us back so urgently. What happened?" Chu Tian complained while running.

"I hope it's not because we broke something again last time." Ye Li shrugged, trying to ease the tension in the atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

"This is not the time to joke around." Qin Feng quickened his pace, "It must be something important. Everyone speed up."

They soon arrived at the conference hall of the college and found that Vice President Feng Jian and several senior tutors had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qin Feng and his group coming in, Feng Jian's expression was a little solemn.

"Now that you are here, please sit down. We have important matters to discuss." Feng Jian motioned for them to sit down with a serious expression.

As soon as Qin Feng and his companions sat down, Feng Jian said, "We have just received reliable information that the Dark Cult has successfully found the entrance to an ancient secret realm and is preparing to perform some kind of ritual there."

"Secret realm? What kind of secret realm?" Ye Li asked immediately.

"It is said that it is a long-forgotten secret realm, which contains countless spiritual beasts and mysterious powers. If the dark sect masters the power of the secret realm, it will pose a great threat to the entire world of soul masters." Feng Jian explained.

Zhang Meng scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "How did they find such a place? I thought that kind of place was just a legend."

"The methods of the Dark Cult are more than just legends." Ye Ying walked in and leaned against the door. "I've heard of this secret realm. According to legend, an ancient spirit beast is sealed in the secret realm, and its power is enough to destroy everything."

"They are getting more and more arrogant!" Chu Tian said angrily, "Then how can we stop them?"

Feng Jian looked at Ye Ying, then at Qin Feng and the others: "We need you to go to the secret realm immediately to stop the Dark Cult's plan. Your mission is to disrupt their rituals and protect the spirit beasts and power in the secret realm as much as possible."

Wang Yue nodded: "It seems that this is a tough battle. We must be fully prepared."

Qin Feng stood up and said firmly: "Vice President, we will do our best to stop the conspiracy of the Dark Cult."

After making a brief preparation, Qin Feng and his party took the necessary equipment and followed Ye Ying to the legendary entrance to the secret realm. Along the way, everyone was silent, with tension and anticipation intertwined in everyone's heart.

Yeying walked in front, skillfully leading them through the forest, passing a hidden path, and finally arrived at an ancient site covered with dense vines.

"This is the entrance." Ye Ying pointed to a huge stone tablet engraved with ancient runes and emitting a faint light.

"It really looks like an antique." Zhang Meng reached out and touched the stone tablet, feeling a faint flow of spiritual power.

"How do we get in?" Ye Li asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

Ye Ying took out an ancient scroll from his arms, unfolded it, and softly chanted a spell. Suddenly, the runes on the stone tablet lit up, and then a huge circle of light appeared in front of them, and the world inside the circle of light could be vaguely seen.

"This is the entrance to the secret realm." Ye Ying explained, "After entering, everyone must be careful. The space and time here are different from the outside world and are full of unknown dangers."

Qin Feng nodded and took the lead in entering the aperture, followed by the others. When they all entered the aperture, the scene in front of them suddenly changed, and everything around them seemed to be sucked into a vortex. After a few seconds, they found themselves standing in a strange and bizarre world.

In the secret realm, there was a strong spiritual energy all around, the sky was a light blue-purple, and all kinds of strange creatures were floating. In the distance was a vast forest and rolling mountains, and a few glittering ancient buildings could be vaguely seen.

"Wow, this place is so magical!" Wang Yue exclaimed, "It feels like entering another world."

"The spiritual energy here is much richer than outside." Qin Feng felt the power in the air, "Everyone be careful and stay alert."

Chu Tian couldn't help but be curious and asked Ye Ying: "Have you been here before?"

Ye Ying shook his head: "No, this is my first time here. However, I heard that the environment here is unpredictable and you will get lost if you are not careful."

"Then we'd better find the trace of the Dark Sect as soon as possible." Ye Li suggested.

They carefully walked through a strange bush of flowers, and suddenly, a huge spirit beast jumped out from the bush. This spirit beast had shiny golden fur, slender limbs, and a look of wisdom in its eyes.

"It doesn't look like an enemy." Qin Feng raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, "Approach slowly, don't alarm it."

The spirit beast looked at them warily, but showed no hostility. It sniffed the air, as if trying to determine their intentions.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The spirit beast spoke, its voice was low and powerful, with an ancient majesty.

Qin Feng and his companions looked at each other, obviously not expecting the spirit beast to speak. Qin Feng stepped forward and said respectfully: "We are students from the Soul Master Academy. We are here to stop the conspiracy of the Dark Cult. I heard that they are going to perform some kind of ritual here, which may threaten the balance here."

After hearing this, the spirit beast's eyes flashed with understanding: "I see. Those invaders do have bad intentions. If you really want to help the creatures here, I can take you to a place, which is the core area of ​​the secret realm."

Chu Tian couldn't help but ask: "Core area? What is that place?"

The spirit beast explained: "That is the source of power for the entire secret realm. If it is taken away by the dark sect, they will become extremely powerful. Follow me."

The spirit beast led Qin Feng and his party through a dense forest, and the scenes along the way became more and more bizarre. They passed a luminous lake, the lake water was shining like stars in the night sky, and there were several huge butterflies dancing on the water.

"This place is so beautiful that it seems unreal," Wang Yue exclaimed.

"Yes, it seems like there are secrets hidden in every corner." Ye Li couldn't help but admire.

Suddenly, the spirit beast stopped and signaled everyone to be quiet: "The entrance to the core area is ahead, but I sense an ominous aura."

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword, his eyes flashing with vigilance: "Everyone, get ready, there may be a tough battle."

They slowly approached the entrance to the core area, where they saw a huge stone gate engraved with complex runes, faintly emitting an ancient power.

"This is the entrance to the core area." The spirit beast whispered, "We must be careful after we go in. Those invaders may have set an ambush inside."

Qin Feng nodded to show that he understood, then turned to look at his companions: "Are you all ready?"

"Ready!" everyone answered in unison.

"Then let's go in." Qin Feng took a deep breath, pushed open the stone door first, and led everyone into the core area of ​​the secret realm.

After entering the core area, they found that the scene here was even more bizarre than outside. The surroundings were filled with strong spiritual energy, and the ground was covered with runes flashing blue light. In the distance, a huge altar could be seen, and in the center of the altar stood several members of the dark sect, who were busy performing some kind of ritual.

"It seems we have arrived at the right time." Yeying whispered.

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword and whispered to everyone, "We will split into two groups. Ye Li and Chu Tian will go around from the left, while Wang Yue and Zhang Meng will flank from the right. Ye Ying, you and I will attack head-on."

Everyone nodded and quickly dispersed according to the plan. Qin Feng and Ye Ying rushed to the altar head-on, quickly attracting the attention of the dark sect members.

"Someone is breaking in! Stop them!" a black-robed man who looked like the leader shouted.

Several members of the Dark Sect immediately turned around and rushed towards Qin Feng and Ye Ying. Qin Feng swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and in a flash, several black-robed men fell to the ground.

"Hmph, it seems that your strength is just so-so." Qin Feng sneered.

Ye Ying dodged the enemy's attack flexibly, and at the same time, with a backhanded sword, he repelled a sneak attack from a black-robed man. Ye Li and Chu Tian rushed out from the left side, and Chu Tian's storm wolf let out a thunderous roar and directly pounced on a black-robed man.

Wang Yue and Zhang Meng on the right were not idle either. Wang Yue's Light Deer released a healing light to provide support to his companions, while Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear was like a moving wall, blocking all enemies who tried to approach.

Just as the battle was getting intense, the leader suddenly laughed: "You ignorant guys, do you really think you can stop us? The power of the secret realm is already in our control!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in the center of the altar suddenly cracked, and a powerful dark energy gushed out, rushing directly towards Qin Feng and his companions.

"Get out of the way!" Yeying shouted.

Everyone quickly moved out of the way to avoid being hit directly by the dark energy, but still felt the powerful impact.

"What the hell is this guy doing?" Chu Tian shouted angrily.

"He is absorbing the power of the secret realm!" the spirit beast warned loudly, "We must interrupt his ritual, otherwise the entire secret realm will be eroded by darkness!"

Qin Feng's eyes were stern: "Yeying, come with me, let's interrupt his ceremony!"

Qin Feng and Ye Ying quickly rushed to the altar, while the others tried their best to block the remaining members of the dark sect.

"Watch me!" Zhang Meng roared, and the giant rock bear pounced on several enemies and threw them to the ground.

Ye Li's frost fox quickly rushed to the altar, and a stream of icy force hit the black-robed leader in the center of the altar, stopping him from chanting. The leader was hit by the icy force and his movements froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered, with a ferocious smile on his face.

"It's not that easy!" He raised his hands again, and the runes on the altar quickly lit up, and the dark energy became stronger and stronger.

Qin Feng and Ye Ying had already rushed in front of him. Qin Feng shouted, "Stop!" He swung his sword fiercely at the leader, and Ye Ying also launched an attack at the same time. The attacks of the two hit the target almost at the same time.

The black-robed leader let out a scream and fell to the ground. The dark energy on the altar dissipated instantly, and the entire secret realm returned to peace.

"We succeeded!" Wang Yue shouted happily.

The spirit beast nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "You have done a good job. Peace has returned to the secret realm."

Qin Feng and his companions also breathed a sigh of relief and high-fived each other to celebrate their victory. Ye Ying walked up to Qin Feng and said softly, "This is only a temporary victory. The Dark Cult will not give up."

Qin Feng looked at him and nodded firmly: "No matter what plans they have next, we will do our best to stop them."

Everyone nodded in agreement, knowing that although the battle was over, the challenges ahead were just beginning.
