Rise of the Otherworld.

Upon learning of the Shadow Sect's new developments, the atmosphere within the True King Sect grew tense once again. Nerves, which had just relaxed, instantly tensed to the utmost, like a string about to break.

Tang Feng immediately summoned all his disciples. His face was stern, his voice loud and urgent: "Everyone, you've heard it! The Shadow Sect is causing trouble again. We can't just sit there and wait for death! From now on, practice redouble your efforts!" The disciples responded in unison, their voices echoing through the valley, filled with determination and resolve. No hesitation or fear remained in their eyes, replaced by a burning fighting spirit and boundless loyalty to the sect.

Lin Yu urgently discussed countermeasures with the elders. The atmosphere in the meeting room was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating. "We don't know how powerful the evil skills of the Shadow Sect are this time. We must be fully prepared." Lin Yu's face was heavy, and his eyes swept across the faces of each elder, trying to find a glimmer of hope and an answer from their expressions.

An elder suggested: "Master, perhaps we can send spies to go deep into the Shadow Gate to investigate the truth." His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously aware of the danger of this proposal.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, his tightly furrowed brows never relaxed, and finally nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, but you must choose someone who is agile and meticulous." There was a hint of determination in his eyes. He knew that this was a gamble, but for the future of the Zhenwang Sect, he had to take the risk.

Soon, spies were selected. They were all elite disciples within the sect, each possessing unique skills. On a dark and windy night, they quietly infiltrated the Shadow Sect's territory. However, the Shadow Sect seemed well prepared, and the spies encountered numerous traps upon entering.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" a spy exclaimed. His voice was particularly abrupt in the darkness, instantly shattering the silence. But it was too late. Countless torches suddenly lit up around them, illuminating their figures clearly. They were surrounded by Shadow Sect masters, each with a ferocious expression and murderous eyes.

After a fierce battle, the spies fought desperately, but the enemy was outnumbered and powerful. Blood stained the ground, and screams echoed in the night sky. In the end, only one spy managed to escape. His body was covered with wounds, his clothes were in tatters, and he returned to the True King Sect with a serious injury.

"Master, the Shadow Sect is heavily guarded. We..." Before he could finish his words, the spy fainted. Everyone's hearts instantly sank to the bottom, and a sense of despair began to spread within the sect.

The True King Sect was in unprecedented distress, and an attack from the Shadow Gate threatened at any moment. In this critical moment, panic gripped the True King Sect. Some disciples began to worry about the sect's future. They whispered in corners, their eyes filled with confusion and fear. "What should we do? Is the True King Sect truly destined to be destroyed by our generation?" a young disciple asked in a trembling voice.

Some, in the midst of fear, practiced even harder, working day and night, their clothes drenched in sweat, yet they gritted their teeth and persevered. "We can't give up like this. We must fight for our sect's survival!" an older disciple encouraged his companions.

Lin Yu stood on a high place, looking at the crowd. His figure seemed particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. He shouted, "Don't be afraid! We have experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and we will definitely make it this time! The glory of the Zhenwang Sect cannot be tarnished. We will defend it with our blood and lives!" His voice was firm and powerful, like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.

Tang Feng also encouraged everyone: "Brothers, we live and die together, and we will never retreat! As long as we are united, nothing can defeat us!" Tears flashed in his eyes, which showed his deep affection for the sect and his expectations for the future.

Can the True King Sect survive the threat of the Shadow Gate? The future is shrouded in mystery.
