Rise of the Otherworld.

After the battle, a heavy atmosphere permeated the True King Sect. The smoke had not yet cleared, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood and burnt things. The blood and debris strewn across the ground were a horrifying sight. The once peaceful and tranquil sect now lay in ruins, with collapsed buildings, cracked walls, and scars of battle everywhere.

Lin Yu, despite his exhausted body, directed his disciples to carry out post-war cleanup and treatment. His steps were slightly unsteady, but his eyes remained firm and focused.

"Gather the wounded first and make sure everyone gets timely treatment." Lin Yu said in a hoarse voice. His voice echoed in the empty sect with unquestionable majesty.

Tang Feng and a group of disciples were busy searching the ruins, hoping to find their companions still alive. Their faces were covered with dust and sweat, but their eyes were full of determination and unyielding spirit.

"There's another one here! Hurry, carry it away!" Tang Feng shouted loudly. His voice became hoarse from excessive shouting, but he didn't care at all and continued to search in the ruins.

The medical students were busy as hell, their hands stained with blood, but they continued to bandage and treat the wounded. Their eyes were filled with concern and anxiety, and every groan of the wounded made their hearts clench.

At the same time, supplies within the sect were being counted and distributed intensively.

"This battle consumed a large amount of medicine and weapons, and they must be replenished as soon as possible," an elder said worriedly. He looked at the list in his hand, his brow furrowed, his face full of worry.

Lin Yu sat in a chair, closed his eyes, and thought about the future development of the sect. His face was pale, and the wounds on his body were still aching, but his brain was working fast.

"Master, although we repelled the enemy this time, we suffered heavy losses. What should we do next?" Tang Feng walked to Lin Yu and asked softly. There was a hint of fatigue and confusion in his voice.

Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes and said with a firm look: "We must take advantage of this time to rest and recover our strength, and at the same time strengthen our fortifications to prevent the enemy from attacking again. Although there are many difficulties, the Zhenwang Sect will never fall easily." Although his voice was not loud, it was full of power, which rekindled hope in Tang Feng's heart.

In the days that followed, the disciples of the True King Sect plunged into the intensive task of reconstruction. They repaired houses, rebuilding their destroyed homes brick by brick; reinforced the city walls, using stronger materials and more ingenious designs to enhance the sect's defenses; refined elixirs, toiling day and night in the alchemy room, hoping to stockpile more healing and strength-boosting elixirs for the sect; and practiced their techniques, sweating in the martial arts field, striving to improve their own strength and prepare for the next battle. Everyone worked hard for the sect's future, their eyes filled with hope and determination.

However, just as the Zhenwang Sect was gradually recovering, new troubles arose.

Seeing that the True King Sect had suffered heavy losses in the battle, several small sects nearby actually united and attempted to take advantage of the situation. They thought that the True King Sect was unable to resist and wanted to get a piece of the action.

"Master, this is bad! People from those small sects are challenging us outside the sect!" A disciple hurried over to report. His face was filled with anger and anxiety, and he was panting.

Lin Yu frowned, "This is too much!" He stood up suddenly, a flash of anger in his eyes.

Tang Feng clenched his fists, "Master, let me take people to teach them a lesson!"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, "Don't be impulsive, let's see what they want to do."

Outside the sect, the leaders of several small sects stood there arrogantly.

"Zhenwang Sect, you are no longer the same as you used to be. If you hand over the sect's treasures and secret books, perhaps we can spare your lives!" A sect leader shouted.

The Zhenwang Sect has just experienced a great war. How will it deal with these small sects that take advantage of the situation? The road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges.
