Rise of the Otherworld.

Facing the surrounding guards, Lin Feng knew that a reckless fight was not the best strategy. His brain raced, searching for a way to escape. His heart was beating so fast it seemed like it was about to burst out of his throat, but his eyes remained firm and calm.

"Wait!" Lin Feng suddenly shouted, "If you kill me now, you will never know the secret plan of Xuantian Sect!" His voice echoed in the empty castle, with a hint of determination and confidence.

The leader's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to signal the guards to stop. "What did you say? Xuantian Sect's secret plan? If you tell me even a single lie, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!" The leader stared at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with suspicion and greed.

Lin Feng feigned composure and began to fabricate some so-called "secret plan" in an attempt to stall for time. He spoke at a steady pace, as if he truly possessed a crucial secret: "The Xuantian Sect has learned of your plot and has secretly prepared powerful magic weapons and formations, waiting to lure you in. Furthermore, they have contacted other allies and are preparing to jointly deal with you, the Shadow Hall."

Just when the leader and the guards' attention were attracted by Lin Feng's words, Lin Feng suddenly made a move. His body was as fast as lightning, and he instantly knocked down the two guards around him and rushed towards the exit of the castle.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!" the leader shouted angrily. His voice was filled with anger and anxiety, and his face became extremely ugly.

Lin Feng dashed around the castle, his figure like a ghost, weaving through narrow passages and dim corners. Relying on his fleeting memory of the terrain and his agility, he dodged one deadly trap after another. His clothes were ripped, and his body bore many wounds, but he didn't dare to pause.

However, the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and their footsteps and shouts echoed in the castle, which doubled the pressure on Lin Feng. Lin Feng's physical strength was also gradually depleted. His breathing became rapid and heavy, and every step he took felt like his legs were filled with lead.

Just when he felt desperate, he suddenly discovered a hidden secret room. Lin Feng rushed in without hesitation and quickly closed the door. His back was pressed tightly against the door, and he gasped for breath, trying to calm his breathing and heartbeat.

"Damn, where did this kid run to?" The pursuers outside were searching everywhere. The sound of their footsteps lingering outside the door of the secret room made Lin Feng's heart rise to his throat again.

Inside the secret room, Lin Feng gasped for breath, trying to calm himself. He quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for the exit. Finally, he found a secret door in a corner.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the secret door. He gently pushed it open, and a damp smell hit him in the face. Outside the secret door was a small path leading down the mountain. The path was winding and hidden in the dense woods.

Lin Feng didn't dare to stop and ran desperately along the path. His footsteps left deep footprints on the muddy road, and the branches and thorns on both sides scratched his body from time to time, but he seemed to feel no pain.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng finally escaped his pursuers. He didn't dare to relax, and continued on his way to Xuantian Gate. Along the way, he didn't dare to take the main roads, but instead chose remote mountain paths to avoid possible dangers.

Finally, after several days of traveling, Lin Feng saw the familiar outline of Xuantian Sect. His eyes gleamed with joy and hope, and his steps became more determined and powerful.
