Rise of the Otherworld.

After Tang Feng and the others left the sect, they walked down the town's streets with heavy hearts. The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened their figures, making them look particularly lonely.

"Brother, if the Sect Master doesn't agree immediately, what should we do?" a fellow disciple asked worriedly. His eyes were filled with anxiety, his brow furrowed, as if a huge rock was weighing down his heart.

Tang Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the distant sky and said, "We can't give up like this. Let's find a place to rest first, and then think of a solution." Although his voice was calm, it revealed a firm determination.

They found a simple inn in a nearby town and stayed there. The room was filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Everyone sat together to discuss countermeasures, and the candlelight cast swaying shadows on the wall.

"I think the Sect Master still has some concerns. Perhaps the conditions we offer aren't attractive enough," a junior sister said. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, and she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly.

Tang Feng nodded, "That makes sense. We need to think about what other chips we can use to impress them." His eyes were deep, and his mind was rapidly thinking about various possibilities.

At this moment, the system suddenly prompted: "Host, it has been discovered that some disciples within this sect are dissatisfied with the alliance with the Shadow Sect."

Tang Feng's eyes lit up, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness, "This may be a breakthrough point." There was a hint of excitement in his voice.

Therefore, Tang Feng decided to secretly contact those disciples who were dissatisfied with the alliance. They carefully avoided the eyes and ears of others and met with those disciples in a corner of the town.

After some effort, they finally contacted one of the key disciples. In a remote alley, the disciple was wearing ordinary clothes and had a nervous expression.

"I've long wanted to stop being associated with the Shadow Sect, but the Sect Leader..." the disciple said helplessly. His voice was low, his eyes filled with helplessness and struggle.

Tang Feng quickly said: "As long as you can help us convince the leader, the Zhenwang Sect will definitely remember your contribution." He looked at the disciple firmly, giving him encouragement and support.

With the help of this disciple, Tang Feng and others met the headmaster again. Inside the headmaster's study, the atmosphere was solemn.

"Master, we know that many disciples within our sect have concerns about forming an alliance with the Shadow Sect. Don't you consider their feelings?" Tang Feng said straight to the point. He looked directly at the Master, without flinching.

The headmaster's expression changed slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "How do you know about this?" There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Tang Feng struck while the iron was hot. "Master, cooperating with the True King Sect is the right path. Together we can fight against the Shadow Sect and protect the future of our sect. Moreover, the Shadow Sect has always been ruthless. Once they achieve their goal, I'm afraid your sect will find it difficult to protect itself."

The headmaster fell into deep thought. The room was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with the True King Sect." His voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and determination.

Tang Feng and the others were ecstatic; their efforts had finally paid off. Their faces were filled with excited smiles, and their eyes were shining with hope.

However, before they could celebrate, they received news that the Shadow Gate had already noticed the True King Sect's actions and was preparing to launch an attack in advance.

Tang Feng's expression instantly turned serious. "Everyone, prepare to return to the sect immediately and inform the sect master to prepare for defense."

Everyone hurriedly packed up and started their journey home.

Along the way, Tang Feng was extremely anxious. "We must get back as soon as possible. The safety of the Zhenwang Sect depends on our speed."

At this time, in the Zhenwang Sect, Lin Yu was nervously deploying defensive fortifications, waiting for the news brought back by Tang Feng and others.

Can the True King Sect withstand the attack of the Shadow Gate? How will they and their new allies join forces to fight the enemy? The future is full of unknowns and challenges.
