Chapter 230 Castle
After successfully repelling the attack of the Dark Cult, Li Yunfei and others became more and more respected in the imperial city, but they did not slack off at all.
In a side hall of the imperial palace, Li Yunfei was discussing follow-up countermeasures with everyone. The sunlight shone through the carved windows, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground.
"Although we have defeated the Dark Cult this time, they will definitely not give up. We must prepare for the worst." Li Yunfei looked solemn and looked at everyone with a firm gaze.
Zhang Hao clenched his fists and said, "Master, why don't we take the initiative and completely eradicate the foundation of the Dark Cult!" His voice was loud and powerful, full of fighting spirit.
Lin Yue shook her head gently, frowning slightly: "Don't be reckless. We don't fully understand the true strength of the Dark Cult. Rash actions may be dangerous." Her voice was soft but firm, and the staff in her hand flickered.
Mo Ying pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I think we can first strengthen the vigilance in the imperial city, and at the same time send out spies to collect intelligence on the Dark Cult."
Li Yunfei nodded and said, "What Mo Ying said makes sense. We must know ourselves and our enemies."
Just then, a palace guard hurried over.
"Master Li, His Majesty invites you." The guard said respectfully.
Li Yunfei and others looked at each other and followed the guards to the palace hall.
The hall was magnificent and the emperor sat high on the dragon throne with a solemn expression.
"Li Yunfei, it is thanks to you that the imperial city was able to escape danger this time. But the threat of the Dark Cult has not been eliminated yet. I hope you can come up with a foolproof plan." The emperor's voice was majestic and heavy.
Li Yunfei cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will do our best."
After coming out of the main hall, Li Yunfei and others immediately began to arrange various matters.
Zhang Hao personally trained the guards of the imperial city. He had an upright posture, and his movements were standard and powerful. Every demonstration he gave drew cheers from the guards.
"Everyone, be alert. If we are careless for even a moment, the Dark Cult will have the opportunity to take advantage of us!" Zhang Hao shouted loudly.
Lin Yue set up various defensive magic arrays in the palace. She was fully focused, muttering to herself, waving the staff in her hand continuously, and mysterious rays of light merged into the magic array.
The spies sent by Mo Ying also set out one after another. They disguised themselves and blended into the market, trying to find any clues about the Dark Cult.
However, after a few days, the spies found nothing, and the entire imperial city seemed to be shrouded in a fog.
Li Yunfei was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the room.
"What on earth is this dark cult doing?" Li Yunfei muttered to himself.
Just then, a spy hurried back and brought shocking news.
"Master, we found that the Dark Cult gathered in an abandoned castle outside the city. They seemed to be planning some major action." The spy said breathlessly.
Li Yunfei's eyes were stern: "Gather everyone immediately and prepare for action!"
After everyone gathered together as quickly as possible, they immediately set out for the abandoned castle. The castle stood alone on a barren land, surrounded by tangled weeds, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
Li Yunfei approached the castle cautiously and found that the gate was tightly closed, but a low and strange chanting sound came from inside. His face suddenly became serious and he whispered, "The situation is not good. They are probably performing some kind of evil ritual." Hearing this, Lin Yue's face also changed.
Li Yunfei did not hesitate at all and decisively gave the order: "Knock the door open!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao and several burly and powerful guards immediately took action and rammed the door together. With several loud noises, the door was finally knocked open.
However, the scene inside the door made everyone gasp in shock. A huge magic circle was shining with strange light in the center of the hall. The followers of the Dark Cult sat around the magic circle, muttering something, as if they were casting some evil spell.
"We must not let them succeed!" Li Yunfei shouted and rushed towards the believers without hesitation.
A fierce battle broke out instantly, and the followers of the Dark Cult fought desperately. Li Yunfei's sword danced in the light of the magic circle, and each strike brought great power, pushing the enemies back one after another. Zhang Hao's spear was like a silver lightning, shuttling among the enemies, and blood splattered wherever it went. Lin Yue continued to cast spells to provide support for everyone, and rays of light shot out from her staff and hit the enemies. Mo Ying used his body skills to shuttle between the enemies, looking for their flaws.
A dark cultist took advantage of the chaos to attack Li Yunfei, and was about to succeed, but Lin Yue cast a spell in time to knock the cultist away. "Thank you!" Li Yunfei shouted.
After a hard battle, Li Yunfei and others finally destroyed the magic circle, and the followers of the Dark Cult fled in all directions.
"We can't let them run away!" Zhang Hao shouted.
Everyone started the hunt in the castle, and every corner was filled with a tense atmosphere. Li Yunfei and Zhang Hao chased closely, their figures were like two lightning bolts, rushing through the castle. Lin Yue and Mo Ying were responsible for cleaning up the cultists who tried to escape, and their spells and skills made it impossible for the enemy to escape.
During the pursuit, Li Yunfei and Zhang Hao encountered some stubborn resistance, but they successfully defeated the enemy with their excellent fighting skills and tacit understanding. Finally, they found the last few dark cultists in a secret room in the castle.
These dark cultists had no way to escape, and they looked at Li Yunfei and Zhang Hao in despair. However, Li Yunfei did not give them any chance. He swung his sword and killed the last few dark cultists with a sword. With the fall of the last dark cultist, the battle finally ended.
Li Yunfei and others sat on the ground exhausted, panting. Although the battle was difficult, they successfully completed the task and destroyed the magic circle of the Dark Cult. Now, they need to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid being discovered by other dark forces.
In the basement of the castle, Li Yunfei found a mysterious book that recorded the various conspiracies of the Dark Cult. "It turns out that they have been looking for a powerful dark force to rule the world." Li Yunfei said, his face becoming more serious.
At this moment, a dark cultist hiding in the dark suddenly attacked. Li Yunfei dodged sideways and killed him with a backhand sword.
"Oh, your sneak attack is too low-level. We are experts. This is a piece of cake for us." Li Yunfei said with a relaxed look.
When the people returned to the imperial city with the books, the emperor was horrified when he saw them. "We must stop them as soon as possible!" the emperor said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will do our best." Li Yunfei said confidently.
Li Yunfei and others nodded. They knew that a more difficult battle was coming...
