Rise of the Otherworld.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the Xuantian Sect, the sect's reconstruction proceeded with remarkable efficiency. Every morning, disciples could be seen bustling through the ruins, carrying stone and timber, repairing the damaged buildings and palaces. The sunlight bathed their sweat-drenched faces, illuminating their determined expressions.

Lin Yu personally planned the layout of the sect. He hoped that the new Xuantian Sect would not only restore its former glory, but also have stronger defense capabilities to deal with possible crises in the future. He paced back and forth on the construction site with a blueprint in hand, communicating with the craftsmen from time to time, his eyes full of expectation and caution.

Zhang Hao was responsible for overseeing the project's progress and quality. His stern gaze instilled in every disciple involved in the reconstruction effort. "Everyone, work harder! Move more quickly!" His voice, rough and powerful, echoed throughout the construction site.

Li Yue organized the female disciples to care for the injured, prepare meals, and ensure everyone maintained sufficient strength. She gently changed the wounded's dressings and comforted them with soft words. She also managed the allocation of supplies, ensuring the timely delivery of materials needed for reconstruction efforts.

Mo Ying, drawing on his own experience, devised a new training plan for his disciples. He personally demonstrated in the martial arts arena, imparting advanced techniques and skills, significantly improving their abilities during this period. "Pay attention to the flow of your internal energy and maintain a steady breath!" his voice was steady and powerful.

One day, Lin Yu gathered everyone in a temporary conference hall to discuss the future development of the sect. Although the layout of the conference hall was simple, the atmosphere was very solemn.

"Although we have achieved a phased victory and the sect is also being rebuilt, we cannot be careless. Although the Shadow Hall has been temporarily destroyed, other hostile forces are still watching in secret." Lin Yu said solemnly. His eyes swept over everyone present, full of worry.

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement: "Master, what you said is absolutely right. We must speed up the pace of reconstruction, and at the same time strengthen the training of our disciples to enhance the overall strength of the sect. Only when we become strong can we not fear any threats." He clenched his fists, his eyes firm.

Li Yue continued, "We can also recruit talents and attract more potential disciples to join Xuantian Sect to expand our team. Moreover, we can hold some martial arts competitions to demonstrate the strength of our sect and discover outstanding talents." There was a glint of wisdom in her eyes.

Mo Ying pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can form an alliance with other friendly sects to jointly deal with potential threats. Many hands make light work, and the power of unity cannot be underestimated."

Everyone expressed their opinions and suggestions, offering advice for the future of Xuantian Sect. The heated discussions echoed throughout the conference hall, filled with hope and determination for the sect's future.

After some discussion, Xuantian Sect determined its future development direction and strategy. That was to accelerate reconstruction while strengthening the training of disciples, recruiting talents, and actively seeking cooperation with other sects.

In the days that followed, Xuantian Sect accelerated its reconstruction efforts while simultaneously pursuing its established strategy for growth. Craftsmen toiled day and night, gradually raising new buildings one after another. In the martial arts arena, disciples diligently trained, their shouts echoing endlessly.

However, just when everything seemed to be going in the right direction, unexpected news came. A disciple came running over, looking panicked.

"Master, this is bad! The disciples we sent out to contact other sects haven't returned yet. I'm afraid they've met with something unexpected!"

Lin Yu's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Send someone to investigate this matter immediately!" Lin Yu ordered.

Zhang Hao volunteered: "Master, let me go!"

Lin Yu nodded: "Be careful!"

Zhang Hao set off quickly with a team of disciples.

Who is secretly hindering the development of Xuantian Sect? Can they successfully resolve this crisis?
