Chapter 26: New Allies

    As the complete failure of Nightmark, the Starry Academy has once again returned to its former tranquility. Li Yunfan's power and courage demonstrated in battle have won the respect of all cultivators, and his name has become a legend within the academy.

    In the days following the battle, Li Yunfan did not indulge in the joy of victory, but instead focused more on cultivation and research of "Xing Chen Jue." He knew that while the dark forces had been temporarily repelled, they would never give up.

    One day, the elders of the academy summoned Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen, conveying to them an important piece of information.

    "We have received a request for aid from another continent, where cultivators are being attacked by an unknown dark force," the elders' expressions were serious. "We believe that this force is likely related to Nightmark."

    Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen exchanged a glance, realizing that this could be an even greater challenge.

    "We need to send an elite team to provide assistance, and the two of you are the most suitable choices," the elders continued.

    Li Yunfan nodded, "We are willing to go, the threat of the dark force must be completely eliminated."

    Feng Wuhen also agreed, "It is our duty, and it is also our honor."

    Under the arrangement of the elders, an elite team led by Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen was swiftly assembled. Equipped with necessary supplies and gear, they embarked on their journey to the other continent.

    After several days of flying, they finally arrived at their destination. The scene there shocked them: the once prosperous town had become dilapidated, and the darkness permeated the entire continent.

    "We must quickly find local cultivators and learn about the situation," Li Yunfan said in a low voice.

    They began to search the continent and eventually found a group of cultivators resisting the dark force in a hidden valley. The leader of this group was a female sword cultivator named Yue Qing Shuang, whose power was formidable. However, even she felt an unprecedented pressure in the face of the continuously growing dark force.

    "We are delighted to receive the help of the Starry Academy," Yue Qing Shuang smiled when she learned the identities of Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen, "With your addition, our chances of defeating the dark force are higher."

    Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen quickly launched into cooperation with Yue Qing Shuang and her team. They jointly studied the operational patterns of the dark forces and devised a detailed counterattack plan.

    Over the next few days, they began executing the plan, launching continuous attacks on the strongholds of the dark forces. With Li Yunfan's "Xing Chen Jue" and Yue Qing Shuang's swordplay in harmony, they achieved a series of victories.

    However, the leader of the dark forces seemed to have realized their threat and began to mobilize even more powerful forces to oppose them. A more intense battle was about to unfold...
