Rise of the Otherworld.

Li Feng and Zhao Ling rushed towards the hidden passage. The shouts and cries of the Shadow Gate behind them were like a death spell, pressing on their nerves.

The passage was dark and damp, filled with a foul odor. A chilly draft blew from the depths, making one's hair stand on end. Li Feng groped ahead, his heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of his throat. He took every step cautiously, fearing any unknown danger. Zhao Ling followed closely behind, constantly looking back to check on the pursuers, her eyes filled with tension and fear.

"Hurry up, they're catching up!" Zhao Ling shouted anxiously. Her voice trembled slightly as it echoed in the narrow passage.

Li Feng ignored the pain in his body and gritted his teeth as he quickened his pace. Suddenly, he slipped and stepped on a slippery stone. He lost his balance and nearly fell.

"Be careful!" Zhao Ling was quick to reach out and hold him. Her arms trembled slightly from the force, but she was incredibly firm.

At this moment, a strange sound was heard in the passage. It sounded like something huge and heavy was slowly approaching, accompanied by a low roar and heavy footsteps.

"Is there any other danger?" Li Feng's heart tightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Fear spread in his heart, but he knew that they had no way out at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and continue forward.

Suddenly, several giant bats swooped down from the darkness, their maws gaping and sharp teeth bared. Li Feng and Zhao Ling quickly swung their swords to block the attacks, their blades gleaming faintly in the darkness.

"Don't fight any longer, leave!" Li Feng shouted. His voice echoed in the passage with determination.

The two fought and ran, the bats' attacks becoming more and more fierce, their clothes being torn and their bodies suffering from many wounds. But they did not retreat at all, with only one thought in their minds, that is to escape from here.

Finally, they saw a ray of light ahead.

"The exit is just ahead!" Zhao Ling said excitedly. Her eyes gleamed with hope, as if she had seen the dawn of life.

However, the people from the Shadow Gate also caught up with them.

"Stop them! Don't let them get away!" the pursuers shouted loudly, their voices filled with anger and unwillingness.

Li Feng and Zhao Ling tried their best and rushed towards the exit regardless of everything.

The moment they rushed out of the passage, the sunlight stung their eyes, but they felt immense joy.

Outside lay a dense forest, its trees tall and dense, their branches intertwined to form a sea of ​​green. They plunged in, using the trees and the terrain to evade their pursuers. Every foray, every hiding, was filled with danger and peril.

After running for who knows how long, the two finally escaped the Shadow Gate's pursuit. They collapsed under a large tree, gasping for breath.

"Finally escaped." Li Feng collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. His face was pale and the wounds on his body were still bleeding, but at this moment he could no longer care about anything else.

Zhao Ling was also exhausted, her hair was messy and her clothes were tattered, but she forced herself to say, "We have to hurry back to the sect and hand the evidence to the sect leader." Her voice was weak but full of determination.

The two men supported each other, struggled to stand, and continued their journey home. Along the way, they encountered inclement weather, with violent storms and heavy rain assailing them mercilessly, making it difficult for them to move forward. Ferocious wild animals also lurked in the dark, ready to attack at any moment. But they did not give up, persevering with their tenacious will.

Finally, they saw the mountain gate of Zhenwang Sect.

"Master, we have the evidence!" Li Feng shouted weakly. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with joy and pride.

Lin Yu hurried forward and was moved when he saw their wounded appearance.

"Hurry up, let's go in first." Lin Yu said.

Everyone helped them into the sect, and the magic woman immediately treated their wounds.

Li Feng and Zhao Ling handed the evidence they found in the Shadow Gate stronghold to Lin Yu, who examined it carefully.

The evidence included letters from the Shadow Gate plotting conspiracies, contracts colluding with other forces, and detailed plans to discredit the True King Sect.

"This group of evil thieves is so insidious!" Lin Yu said angrily.

Can the True King Sect use this evidence to expose the conspiracy of the Shadow Sect, clear its name, and regain the trust of other sects?
