At the first light of dawn, the first ray of sunlight struggled to penetrate the thick, inky haze of the desert in the far west.

Li Qingfeng stood alone on the top of a towering hill, the whistling wind blowing his robe wantonly, making a whistling sound.

His gaze was like a torch, deep and unwavering, as if he could see through the layers of chaos in the world and see directly to its essence. Between his brows, the mysterious rotating yin-yang pattern loomed, emitting an awe-inspiring and powerful aura, silently telling of his transformation after enduring the three calamities and nine tribulations.

Soon, the envoys from the Great Qin State arrived first with their troops.

Behind the messenger was a team of elite soldiers wearing heavy black armor. They marched in unison, and every step raised dust on the ground, making a dull and powerful sound.

The envoy's eyes were filled with arrogance as he glanced at the people around him. His tone was filled with undisguised contempt: "Li Qingfeng, you are just a cultivator. Why should I, the Great Qin, lower myself and form an alliance with the other six nations? My Great Qin cavalry is unstoppable and capable of sweeping across the Northern Wilderness. Why should we join forces with others?"

Li Qingfeng remained unperturbed by the other party's disrespect. His expression remained calm as he took a steady step forward. His voice resounded like a bell, echoing throughout the surroundings: "Sir, are you aware that the Northern Wilderness demons are about to launch an unprecedented large-scale counterattack? Even with the might of the Great Qin cavalry, how long can a single nation hold out against such an onslaught? The incident at the Demon Emperor's tomb is a tragic lesson. The various factions suffered heavy losses due to internal strife, which gave Zhu Jiuyin an opportunity to exploit. If we don't unite now, the Northern Wilderness will inevitably fall into an abyss of no return."

The envoy from the Great Chu State stroked his beard, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He slowly spoke, "That being said, forming an alliance involves numerous conflicting interests. The powers of various countries vary in size, and their demands are also different. How can we easily reach an agreement?"

Li Qingfeng was well prepared. He raised his hand and waved it lightly in the air. A huge map of the Northern Wilderness instantly appeared in front of everyone.

On the map, the borders of the seven countries, the distribution of resources, and the possible attack routes of the demon tribe are all marked in great detail.

"I propose the formation of a seven-nation alliance to jointly resist foreign enemies. In wartime, the armies of the seven nations will be deployed in a unified manner, and combat missions will be rationally arranged according to each nation's strengths. After the war, resources will be shared and development will proceed together. As for the distribution of benefits, it can be divided according to the proportion of troops and manpower contributed by each nation to ensure fairness and justice."

However, the Wei envoy sneered and ruthlessly interrupted, "That's easy to say! If our Wei army suffers heavy losses during the war and receives no corresponding rewards afterward, what will we do? Moreover, who will oversee this so-called distribution process?"

Facing the questioning, Li Qingfeng remained calm, his expression unchanged. "I am willing to swear an oath with the Heaven-Slaying Sword. If anyone violates the covenant, the Heaven-Slaying Sword will take their life. At the same time, a supervisory body can be established, composed of representatives from each of the seven nations, to oversee the implementation of the covenant."

As the crowd was discussing, an invisible sense of oppression quietly spread. The Great Yan State envoy's expression suddenly changed, and his sword unconsciously unsheathed half an inch. He said warily, "Li Qingfeng, you are so actively promoting an alliance. Are you harboring selfish motives, hoping to control the seven countries through this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.

The envoys from various countries all looked alert and their eyes were full of vigilance.

Li Qingfeng remained calm and unhurried. He slowly drew out the Heaven-Slaying Sword, its unique No Disaster pattern gleaming with dazzling light. "If I, Li Qingfeng, harbor even the slightest selfish motive, I will be punished by Heaven! Everything I do is for the peace of the Northern Wasteland, to free its people from the suffering of war. In the past, I experienced many disasters and hardships at the Demon Emperor's tomb, and finally understood that only unity can break the impasse."

His voice was powerful and resonant, each word filled with sincerity and resolve, echoing all around. However, some envoys still harbored doubts. The Great Xuan Nation envoy frowned and said gravely, "We understand the principle, but forming an alliance is no easy task. The grudges between nations have long been simmering, and how can we simply let go of them?"

Li Qingfeng was well aware of the difficulties involved. Recalling the pain and struggle he had experienced in the realm of inner demons, all those past experiences turned into firm beliefs at this moment.

"Hatred only breeds more hatred. Only by letting go of the past can we embrace a new life. I wish to set an example and resolve the grievances between Dayu and other countries."

As he spoke, he looked at the Qin envoy and said, "There was a border conflict between the Yu Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom. On behalf of the Yu Kingdom, I apologize to the Qin Kingdom. If the Qin Kingdom is willing, we can redraw the border and open up trade to benefit the people of both countries."

The envoy from the Great Qin State was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Li Qingfeng to be so frank.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Li Qingfeng, you do have some courage. But just a few words are not enough to completely convince the Great Qin."

When the envoys from the seven countries were in a stalemate, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from afar.

A soldier, covered in blood, rushed over desperately. After dismounting, he knelt before Li Qingfeng with a plop, panting, "Master Alliance Leader, the demon tribe's vanguard has arrived at the border of the Northern Wilderness, less than a hundred miles away, and is rapidly approaching!"

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

The faces of the envoys from various countries suddenly changed. Some panicked and ordered their followers to prepare to evacuate, while others grasped their weapons tightly and prepared for battle.

Li Qingfeng, however, remained remarkably calm. He shouted, "Why panic? This is the critical moment to test our sincerity in forming an alliance. If we can't even withstand this small vanguard, how can we possibly resist the demon tribe's biggest counterattack?"

He quickly scanned the crowd, his gaze as firm as steel. "Great Qin, your cavalry excels at charging into battle and can serve as the vanguard, facing the enemy head-on. Great Chu, your archers are exceptionally skilled and can provide support from the rear. Great Heng, you will be responsible for logistics and ensuring sufficient food and fodder..."

He arranged the tasks of various countries in a clear and organized manner, and every decision he made was accurate and correct, showing the style of a great general.

Under his command, the armies of the seven nations quickly assembled and formed an impenetrable line of defense.

The battle is about to break out, and the demon clan's vanguard troops are charging forward aggressively.

Leading the group was a gigantic wolf demon, spewing raging fire from its mouth. Wherever it went, grass and trees were instantly reduced to ashes.

Li Qingfeng, holding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, was the first to rush into the enemy camp. As he swung the sword, sharp sword energy shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, slashing towards the demon soldiers.

His figure swiftly shuttled across the battlefield, each move capable of slaying several enemies. The yin-yang pattern between his eyebrows became increasingly dazzling during the battle, as if it contained boundless power.

Under the leadership of Li Qingfeng, the morale of the armies of the seven countries was greatly boosted and they fought bravely against the enemy.

The Qin cavalry rushed into the demon tribe camp like a torrent of steel, scattering the enemy to pieces. The Chu archers unleashed a barrage of arrows, a hail of arrows like locusts, and the demon tribe soldiers fell one after another.

However, the demon race is powerful after all.

As the battle continued, the armies of the seven nations gradually fell into trouble. Seeing this, the wolf demon roared to the sky and summoned more demon soldiers to surround the armies of the seven nations.

When everyone was in despair, Li Qingfeng suddenly raised the Heaven-Slaying Sword and muttered something.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled in the sky and quickly gathered together. An extremely thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky, with the power to destroy the world, and struck straight towards the wolf demon.

The wolf demon was unable to dodge and was struck by lightning, letting out a scream of extreme pain.

Li Qingfeng seized the opportunity, exerted all his strength, and slashed at the wolf demon's neck with a sword.

The No Disaster Pattern on the Zhantian Sword shone brightly, easily chopping off the wolf demon's head.

Once the wolf demon died, the demon soldiers fell into chaos. The armies of the seven nations took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and completely defeated the demon vanguard.

The victory in this battle made the envoys from the seven countries look at Li Qingfeng with new respect.

The Great Qin envoy approached Li Qingfeng and respectfully saluted, "Li Qingfeng, Great Qin is convinced! You are brave and resourceful, and you are truly qualified to lead us."

Envoys from other countries also came forward to express their admiration and support for Li Qingfeng.

The envoy from the Great Chu Kingdom sighed, "If it weren't for Alliance Leader Li, we would have been defeated today. The Chu Kingdom will fully support this alliance."

Li Qingfeng looked at the crowd, his eyes filled with relief. "This victory is the result of the joint efforts of our seven nations. As long as we unite as one, the demon tribe has nothing to fear. Now that we face a formidable enemy, we should put aside our past grudges and form a seven-nation alliance."

After this battle, the seven nations finally reached a consensus on forming an alliance.

Li Qingfeng chose an ancient altar to hold the alliance ceremony. The altar was engraved with mysterious ancient runes, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

The monarchs or envoys of the seven countries walked up to the altar one by one, holding tokens symbolizing their own country.

Li Qingfeng stood at the center of the altar, his expression solemn and dignified. "Today, we swear an oath to establish the Seven-Nation Alliance. From now on, the seven nations will share a common destiny, happiness and hardship. Anyone who violates the covenant will be condemned by heaven and earth!"

After saying this, he inserted the Heaven-Slaying Sword into the center of the altar. The Undisaster Pattern on the sword echoed with the runes on the altar, and a dazzling light burst out.

The envoys from the seven nations placed their tokens around the Heaven-Slaying Sword. A ray of light rose from the tokens, converging and blending to form a huge covenant mark.

At this moment, a ray of auspicious light suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped the envoys from the seven countries.

Everyone felt a powerful and warm force surge into their bodies, as if they had received the approval and protection of heaven and earth.

After the alliance ceremony was completed, everyone began to discuss the position of alliance leader.

The monarch of the Great Heng Nation spoke first: "Li Qingfeng has made great contributions to this alliance and has demonstrated outstanding leadership in battle. I nominate Li Qingfeng as the leader of the Seven Nation Alliance!"

His proposal was responded to by other countries.

The Great Yan monarch nodded and said, "Alliance Leader Li is not only powerful, but also cares deeply about the people of the Northern Wilderness. The position of Alliance Leader belongs to him."

The monarch of the Great Wei Kingdom no longer had any objections: "If Leader Li takes the leadership, our Wei Kingdom will fully cooperate and obey your orders."

Li Qingfeng looked at everyone's sincere eyes and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

He knew full well that the position of leader was not only a supreme honor, but also a heavy responsibility. He slowly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the crowd: "I appreciate your trust. I will live up to your expectations. I will take it as my responsibility to maintain peace in the Northern Wilderness, lead the seven nations to jointly resist the demon tribe, and let the people of the Northern Wilderness live in peace!"

After becoming the leader of the Seven Nations, Li Qingfeng quickly set about reorganizing the armies of the seven nations. He established a unified military command system and selected outstanding generals from each nation to participate in the command.

At the same time, he vigorously promoted cultural exchanges and trade between the seven countries, enhancing understanding and trust among them.

With Li Qingfeng's unremitting efforts, the seven countries gradually united closely and their strength grew.

However, he knew in his heart that this was only the beginning, and the demon tribe's upcoming counterattack would be the real severe test.

He often stood alone on the city wall, gazing into the distance, pondering the strategic layout over and over again in his mind.

He understood that to defeat the demon race, not only powerful military force was needed, but also unparalleled wisdom and rock-solid unity.

One day, Han Yinyue came to his side, looked at his slightly tired but still determined figure, and said distressedly: "Qingfeng, you are too tired, you should take care of yourself."

Li Qingfeng smiled and held her hand. "For the sake of the Northern Wilderness, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to protect this land."

In the distance, the flags of seven countries fluttered in the wind, symbolizing unity and hope.
