Rise of the Otherworld.

The True King Clan members were still reveling in the joy of emerging from the cave when the sudden blast of the horn was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flames of hope that had just ignited within them. The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone's nerves were once again on edge.

"What's that sound? Is there danger again?" a disciple said nervously, his voice trembling. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep fear and anxiety.

Lin Yu frowned, his eyes vigilantly looking into the depths of the valley. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, trying to penetrate the unknown threat. "Everyone be careful, don't take it lightly." His voice was low and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears, like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, calming the panicked crowd a little.

As the horn's blast drew nearer, a group of people dressed in bizarre attire appeared before everyone. Their clothing was vibrant, yet radiated an eerie aura. Each face was etched with coldness and ruthlessness, and the weapons they held gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing here?" the leader shouted, his voice carrying undeniable authority. He was tall, muscular, and his eyes were filled with arrogance and dominance.

Lin Yu took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "We are just passing by and have no intention of offending you." His tone was sincere, but there was no trace of retreat in his eyes.

"Hmph, passing by? Not just anyone can come to this valley!" The man sneered, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a hint of disdain.

Tang Feng couldn't help but say, "We just escaped from that foggy forest, and we hope you can do us a favor." His face was full of fatigue and anger, and his clenched fists turned slightly white due to the force.

"Stop talking nonsense! Either leave your things or your life!" The other party obviously had no intention of compromise. His voice was like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz.

The magic woman whispered to Lin Yu: "Master, they are numerous and powerful, so we can't fight them head-on." Her voice was as light as a mosquito, but every word was full of worry.

Lin Yu secretly calculated in his heart that at present, the people of the True King Sect had gone through hardships and their strength had been greatly reduced. It was indeed not appropriate to confront the other side head-on. His eyes quickly swept over the other side's crowd, thinking about how to deal with it.

"Okay, we are willing to leave some property behind, just to be able to pass safely." Lin Yu said, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, but his eyes remained firm.

The leader shook his head and said, "That's not enough. You have to leave everything behind." His greed was fully exposed at this moment.

The strong man who was good at boxing got angry: "Don't go too far!" He roared like a lion, his eyes were wide open, as if he was going to rush up and fight with the opponent in the next second.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and a battle seemed imminent. The two sides' gazes met in the air, colliding with invisible sparks.

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly noticed that some people in the other group were looking at him evasively. He came up with an idea and said loudly, "I don't think you are really trying to stop us. Are you being instructed by someone?" His voice echoed in the valley and struck the other party's heart.

This statement caused a brief commotion in the opposing camp. People began whispering to each other, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.

Lin Yu took the opportunity to say: "If so, we can work together to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. There is no need to fight to the death here." His words were like a gentle breeze, trying to dissolve the hostility in the other party's heart.

The leader of the other party's face changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought. His eyes moved back and forth between Lin Yu and his men, and he seemed to be weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Time seems to stand still at this moment, with only a gentle breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness.

Finally, the leader said, "Okay, I can trust you for now, but if I find out you're lying, you'll have to bear the consequences."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

However, will things really go so smoothly? What is the conspiracy behind this? Can the True King Sect escape this predicament?
