Rise of the Otherworld.

Just as the Xuantian Sect was in dire straits, unsure of what to do, a mysterious figure in a black robe, his face shrouded in shadow, appeared before the sect. His figure was hazy in the sunlight, exuding an unfathomable aura.

Seeing this, the guarding disciples immediately became alert, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Xuantian Gate!" They held weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

The mysterious man smiled lightly, his voice low and magnetic, "I'm here to help you." His tone was calm and composed, as if he didn't care about the tense situation at all.

Lin Yu and others rushed over after hearing the news, looking up and down at the mysterious visitor. Lin Yu's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, trying to see the other party's true face through the shadow. "Your Excellency keeps saying that you want to help us, but I wonder what evidence you have?" There was a hint of doubt in his voice.

The mysterious man calmly pulled a jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant gleamed warmly in the sunlight, engraved with the Xuantian Sect's distinctive symbol. "This is a token of the Xuantian Sect. Does Sect Leader Lin recognize it?" the mysterious man said with grace and composure.

When Lin Yu saw the jade pendant, his expression changed slightly, "This jade pendant is indeed from my Xuantian Sect. I wonder where you got it from?" His eyes were full of confusion and inquiry.

The mysterious man said slowly: "To be honest, I was once saved by a senior from Xuantian Sect. Now I know that Xuantian Sect is in trouble, so I came to help." His voice was full of sincerity.

Everyone was skeptical, but there was no better way at the moment, so they could only listen to what this mysterious man had to say.

The mysterious man analyzed: "As far as I know, the series of conspiracies against Xuantian Sect are most likely manipulated by an organization called the 'Shadow Alliance'. They intend to take advantage of the fact that Xuantian Sect is seriously injured and destroy it in one fell swoop. This organization acts in secret and has vicious means. It has been accumulating strength in secret and trying to dominate the world." His eyes revealed a deep fear of this organization.

"Shadow Alliance? I've never heard of this organization." Zhang Hao frowned, his expression serious and confused.

The mysterious man continued, "The Shadow Alliance is extremely mysterious and has been secretly developing its power. They have recruited many masters and evil forces, and their tentacles are spread all over the place. What Black Wind Village did this time may just be a pawn of theirs. They are manipulating these small forces to test the strength of Xuantian Sect."

Li Yue asked, "Then in your opinion, how should we deal with this?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.

The mysterious man pondered for a moment. "We must first find out the Shadow Alliance's true purpose and the distribution of its strength before formulating a countermeasure. I can use my connections and intelligence network to help you gather information. But during this process, Xuantian Sect must increase its vigilance to prevent another enemy attack."

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then I'll trouble you. But I hope what you said is true. If you have any ill intentions, Xuantianmen will never tolerate it."

The mysterious man nodded and said, "Master Lin, don't worry. I will do my best."

Afterwards, the mysterious man began to gather intelligence. He traveled day and night, contacting various forces, and gradually uncovered some of the mysteries of the Shadow Alliance.

However, in the process, the mysterious man also attracted the attention of the Shadow Alliance, who sent assassins to try to stop the mysterious man from continuing his investigation.

One night, the mysterious man was ambushed on his way back to Xuantian Gate.

"You bunch of villains, do you think you can stop me like this?" the mysterious man shouted angrily.

Without a word, the assassins launched their attack. The mysterious man fought back, but the enemy was outnumbered and all of them were experts.

Just as the mysterious man was losing his strength, reinforcements from Xuantian Sect arrived in time...
