Rise of the Otherworld.

Just as Xuantian Sect and Qingfeng Sect were busy preparing countermeasures, the Shadow Alliance suddenly launched a fierce attack.

It was a dark, windy night. The tranquility of Xuantian Gate was shattered by a sharp cry of killing. The previously quiet night sky was illuminated by the flames, a crimson glow, as if stained with blood.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the patrolling disciple shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice, filled with fear and panic, echoed in the silent night sky, instantly shattering the sect's tranquility.

Instantly, the entire Xuantian Sect descended into chaos. Flames shot into the sky, and the clash of swords rang out incessantly. The assassins of the Shadow Alliance, clad in black nightgown, moved through the sect like ghosts, their attacks ruthless and merciless. Each strike aimed directly at the vital points, aiming to inflict maximum damage in the shortest possible time.

Lin Yu led his disciples in a fierce resistance. "Everyone, don't panic! Form a formation to meet the enemy!" His voice echoed clearly over the noisy battlefield. Lin Yu led the charge, brandishing his longsword with a powerful force. Wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another. His eyes were firm and resolute, and he was not intimidated by the enemy's ferocious momentum.

Zhang Hao brandished his long sword, engaging in a desperate struggle with his enemies. "Come on, you lackeys of the Shadow!" His roar echoed through the night sky. His face turned red with anger, and every strike of his sword was filled with endless fury, as if he wanted to kill all the enemies before him.

Li Yue directed the female disciples to rescue the wounded and set up defensive fortifications. Her voice was calm and composed. "Hurry up and don't let the wounded bleed too much!" Under her command, the female disciples worked in an orderly manner, providing solid support for the battle on the front line.

The Qingfeng Sect's reinforcements encountered an ambush by the Shadow Alliance en route, temporarily preventing them from arriving in time. Suddenly, a swarm of Shadow Alliance assassins swarmed from both sides of the road, surrounding the Qingfeng Sect. "Everyone, stay calm! Maintain your formation!" the Qingfeng Sect leader shouted. However, the enemy's attacks were overwhelming, making their advance extremely difficult.

"Master, this isn't going to work. There are too many enemies!" a disciple shouted anxiously. His face was covered in sweat and blood, and his eyes revealed despair.

Lin Yu frowned, "Hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!" His voice was full of power, bringing a glimmer of hope to the disciples. But he also knew in his heart that the situation was very critical. If the reinforcements could not arrive in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, a master of the Shadow Alliance attacked Lin Yu. His moves were fierce and his internal strength was deep. He flashed and appeared in front of Lin Yu in an instant, piercing Lin Yu's chest with the long sword in his hand.

Lin Yu, unafraid, stepped forward to engage him. Their swords clashed in mid-air, creating a resounding clash. Unleashing every ounce of his might, Lin Yu engaged in a fierce confrontation. For a moment, sword energy filled the air, seemingly ripping the air apart.

The two fought hard, and the disciples around them were all worried for Lin Yu. They watched the battle nervously, holding their weapons tighter, ready to support Lin Yu at any time.

Just as Lin Yu was gradually gaining the upper hand, the master suddenly used a vicious hidden weapon. A cold light flew towards Lin Yu's face.

"Be careful!" Mo Ying arrived in time and blocked the fatal blow for Lin Yu. The hidden weapon was deeply embedded in Mo Ying's shoulder, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Mo Ying, how are you?" Lin Yu asked with concern. His eyes were full of worry and gratitude.

Blood was oozing from the corner of Mo Ying's mouth. "I'm fine, Master, kill the enemy first!" He endured the pain and joined the battle again.

After a bloody battle, the disciples of Xuantian Sect gradually stabilized their position. They coordinated with each other, formed a tight formation, and pushed the enemy back step by step.

At this moment, the shouts of Qingfengmen reinforcements were heard in the distance. Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins of the Shadow Alliance began to retreat.

"Don't let them get away!" Zhang Hao wanted to chase them. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he wanted to wipe out all the enemies.

Lin Yu shouted, "Don't chase the desperate enemy, reorganize the sect first." He knew very well that it was not appropriate to pursue the enemy at this time, and the losses of the sect needed to be assessed and dealt with as soon as possible.

This sudden attack caused Xuantianmen to suffer considerable losses, with houses collapsed and disciples suffering heavy casualties. Lin Yu looked at the mess in front of him and secretly vowed in his heart that he must make the Shadow Alliance pay a heavy price.

In the days that followed, Xuantian Sect and Qingfeng Sect strengthened their defenses and accelerated their investigation into the Shadow Alliance. They knew a bigger storm was coming...
