Rise of the Otherworld.

After the glorious battle at Sunset Canyon, Xuantian Sect truly enjoyed a period of rapid development. New disciples poured in like a tide, the sect expanded, and its reputation across the ancient Xuan Continent grew. However, as the saying goes, "a tall tree attracts the wind," behind this seemingly prosperous scene lay a series of potentially fatal crises.

As the number of disciples within the sect rapidly increased, management chaos gradually surfaced. Disciples were divided into different factions, engaging in open and covert strife, using all possible means to compete for limited cultivation resources. Some once close-knit disciples were now enemies due to inter-factional conflicts of interest. Lin Yu and Li Xuan were deeply concerned. They knew that if no action was taken, the internal conflicts within the sect would escalate, ultimately leading to an unmanageable situation.

"Li Xuan, look at the current situation of the sect. If it continues like this, Xuantian Sect will be destroyed in our hands!" Lin Yu frowned and said to Li Xuan with a worried look on his face.

Li Xuan sighed deeply and replied worriedly, "I know that, but now that the various factions have become so powerful, it's going to be very difficult to rectify them. This will inevitably affect their interests and will probably cause a huge uproar."

Just as they racked their brains, pondering how to resolve the sect's internal conflicts, external threats surged like a raging torrent. A mysterious and powerful organization quietly emerged from the shadows of the ancient Xuan Continent. Their movements were cryptic and their methods brutal, burning, killing, and looting wherever they went. Numerous smaller sects were shattered under their devastation, leaving them in a state of utter devastation. The region encompassing the Xuantian Sect gradually came into their sights, becoming their next coveted target.

The members of this mysterious organization were exceptionally powerful, well-organized, and swift in action. Like ghosts in the night, they were impossible to guard against. Xuantian Sect was forced to step up its security, patrolling day and night to prevent any sudden attacks. However, the prolonged period of intense tension had left the disciples exhausted, both physically and mentally, and their morale had gradually eroded.

Meanwhile, conflicts within the sect intensified. One faction, led by an ambitious senior, defied Lin Yu and Li Xuan's orders and secretly seized the cultivation resources of the newer disciples. These new disciples, having just arrived and full of expectations and longing for the sect, were unexpectedly met with such a disaster, leaving them filled with resentment and fear.

After Lin Yu learned about this, he was furious. His originally gentle eyes were now filled with anger. "This is simply lawless! How can we allow you to trample on the rules of Xuantian Sect at will! You must be severely punished!"

He immediately ordered the disciples who led the riot to be detained and prepared to deal with them severely according to the sect rules. However, this move completely angered the disciples of that faction. They gathered together and put pressure on Lin Yu and Li Xuan.

"Master, we are just trying to obtain more training resources so that we can improve our strength faster. Is there anything wrong with that?" An emotional disciple shouted loudly, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

Lin Yu's eyes were stern, and he said righteously: "The sect has its own rules, and no one can violate them! If everyone acts as recklessly as you do, what order will there be in Xuantian Sect? What future will there be?"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked and the situation reached a stalemate, the mysterious organization suddenly launched a fierce attack on Xuantian Sect. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and the cry of killing was deafening. Xuantian Sect was instantly plunged into a desperate situation of internal and external troubles, and its survival hung in the balance.
