Chapter 179: Lin Clan
In the days following the rapid growth of the Three Peaks Alliance, a shocking incident shook the cultivation world.
An inner sect disciple of the Golden Bell Temple, arrogant and overconfident in his Nascent Soul Realm power, had offended a traveler with a hidden background.
This traveler, Lin Yun, was seemingly weak at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The disciple looted Lin Yun of his treasures and crippled his cultivation, dismissing him as insignificant.
Little did the disciple know that Lin Yun hailed from a powerful clan across the ocean—the Lin Clan. Upon hearing of Lin Yun's plight, the Lin Clan's fury was uncontainable. Within days, they dispatched ten Soul Integration Realm experts to exact vengeance.
The Golden Bell Temple, despite its formidable defenses and two Soul Integration Realm guardians, was annihilated. The Lin Clan's experts demolished the sect's array formations, slaughtering every member, leaving no room for resistance. The once-mighty Golden Bell Temple was reduced to ruins, sending shockwaves across the land.
The news spread rapidly, causing panic and fear among both righteous and demonic sects. The balance of power was shattered, and chaos loomed over the cultivation world.
The righteous sects like Azure Peak Sect, Jade Lotus Palace, and Emerald Sea Palace were alarmed, while demonic sects such as Blood Chain Sect, White Bone Sect, Iron Hammer Sect, and Shadow Blade Sect sensed an opportunity to capitalize on the turmoil.
Meanwhile, the Lin Clan's experts had returned to their homeland, reporting the abundance of resources in this new land.
Lin Yun, after being taken back to the Lin Clan, was given a special cultivation technique.
Despite his fractured dantian, he began to recultivate rapidly.
His cultivation base rose swiftly, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm in no time.
Patriarch Lin Zhenguan, Lin Yun's father, saw potential in this new land and ordered Lin Yun to return with a team to establish a branch family there.
Lin Yun, now stronger and more determined, set out with a group of elite Lin Clan experts.
Their mission was clear: to gain control of the new land and its resources.
As they settled, the Three Peaks Alliance and other local forces braced for the inevitable confrontation.
And at this moment, despite the Three Peaks Alliance's impressive growth, they were still far from being considered a great righteous sect.
Wang Li recognized the impending danger and knew swift action was necessary. He summoned his trusted allies in the grand hall to discuss their strategy.
"Cousin, what should we do?" Wang Xiangyi asked, her eyes filled with concern.
Wang Li took a deep breath. "We need to bolster our ranks immediately. Xia Bingling, Song Jingyan, I want you to start recruitment trials at once. We need more manpower, even if they are just outer members."
Xia Bingling nodded, her gaze serious. "We'll handle it. The trials will begin tomorrow."
Song Jingyan added, "We'll ensure only the best are recruited, strengthening our alliance swiftly."
With the recruitment plan underway, Wang Li knew he needed more support. He decided to visit the Jade Lotus Palace, leveraging his position as Honorary Elder.
Using the private teleportation array, he arrived at the sect's boundary and was granted entry. He made his way to Palace Mistress Jiu Lan's chambers, where she awaited him.
"Patriarch Wang, what brings you here so urgently?" Jiu Lan asked, her elegant features tinged with curiosity.
Wang Li wasted no time. "Palace Mistress, the destruction of the Golden Bell Temple has thrown our land into chaos. The Lin Clan has set their sights on settling here, and we cannot allow that. I need your sect's assistance to prevent their establishment."
Jiu Lan's expression turned serious. "I agree. If the Lin Clan settles here, they will drain our resources and potentially overpower us. You have my full support, Wang Li."
Relief washed over Wang Li. "Thank you, Jiu Lan. Your support is invaluable."
Their conversation shifted to strategizing against the Lin Clan, but the tension between them soon took a different turn.
Wang Li stepped forward, his eyes burning with desire. He tore apart Jiu Lan's robes, revealing her delicate skin. She gasped but did not resist, instead surrendering to the passion that flared between them.
Their bodies collided in a fervent embrace. Wang Li's hands roamed over her curves, eliciting soft moans from Jiu Lan.
He lifted her onto a nearby table, positioning her legs around his waist.
With a deep thrust, he entered her, their bodies moving in a primal rhythm.
Jiu Lan's moans grew louder, her nails digging into his back as they found their release together.
They shifted positions, with Jiu Lan on her knees and Wang Li taking her from behind.
His thrusts were powerful and relentless, driving them both to the edge.
Her cries filled the chamber, echoing off the walls. Finally, they collapsed onto the bed, spent and satisfied.
Wang Li lay beside Jiu Lan, their bodies entwined. "We will overcome this, Jiu Lan. Together, we will ensure the safety and prosperity of our land."
She smiled, her fingers tracing his chest. "With you by my side, Wang Li, I have no doubt."
Back in the Three Peaks Alliance, recruitment trials were in full swing.
Aspiring cultivators flocked to join, eager to be part of the rapidly rising power. Xia Bingling and Song Jingyan oversaw the trials, ensuring only the most capable were selected.
One afternoon, during a break in the trials, Xia Bingling approached Wang Li. "Cousin, we've seen a significant increase in applicants. Our ranks will be bolstered soon."
Wang Li nodded, satisfied. "Good. We need every capable cultivator we can get. The Lin Clan won't wait, and we must be prepared."
As the recruitment trials continued, Wang Li received a message from Liu Xue of the Jade Lotus Palace. She requested a meeting to discuss their strategy further. Using the teleportation array, Wang Li arrived at the Jade Lotus Palace and was greeted by Liu Xue.
"Patriarch Wang," she said, bowing slightly. "We've identified potential allies who may support us against the Lin Clan."
Wang Li smiled. "Excellent work, Liu Xue. Let's discuss our next steps."
Their meeting was productive, and Liu Xue's insights proved invaluable. As the day turned to night, Wang Li found himself alone with Liu Xue in her chambers.
The tension between them was palpable, and soon, they were lost in each other's embrace. Their passion was intense, each touch and kiss igniting a fire within them.
Liu Xue's moans echoed through the room as Wang Li took her with fervor. Their bodies moved together in perfect harmony, each moment bringing them closer to the edge. They climaxed together, their cries of pleasure filling the night air.
With the support of the Jade Lotus Palace and their growing ranks, the Three Peaks Alliance was poised to face the challenges ahead. Wang Li's determination and strategic prowess ensured they would not only survive but thrive in the face of adversity.
As the days passed, the tension in the cultivation world grew. The demonic sects took advantage of the chaos, launching periodic attacks on the righteous sects and cultivation families. The balance of power was precarious, and the rise of new talents among the demonic sects only added to the instability.
The Three Peaks Alliance, under Wang Li's leadership, continued to grow stronger. They fortified their defenses, expanded their resources, and built alliances.
One evening, Wang Li gathered his core allies for a strategic meeting. "The Lin Clan's presence is a threat we cannot ignore," he began. "We must continue to strengthen our forces and solidify our alliances."
Xia Bingling nodded. "Our recruitment efforts have been successful. We've gained many capable cultivators."
Song Jingyan added, "We should also focus on fortifying our defenses. The demonic sects are becoming bolder, and we need to be prepared for any attacks."
Wang Li agreed. "I'll oversee the setup of additional defensive formations. We need to ensure our territory is impenetrable."
Wang Xiangyi, always the strategist, spoke up. "We should also consider offensive strategies. We can't always be on the defensive. Striking first may give us an advantage."
Wang Li smiled. "I like the way you think, Xiangyi. We'll plan some strategic offensives as well."
With their plans set, the Three Peaks Alliance continued to strengthen their position. The world was changing rapidly, and only the strongest would survive. Wang Li was determined to ensure that the Three Peaks Alliance would not only survive but emerge as a dominant force in the cultivation world.
As the moon rose, Wang Li found himself alone with Wang Xiangyi. She looked at him with a mixture of admiration and desire.
"Cousin, I feel like you are overexerting yourself. Use my body to relax yourself."
Wang Li pulled her close, his hands lingering over her curvy buttocks, "Hmm. I will take you up on that offer."
Their bodies intertwined, moving together in a heated rhythm. The intensity of their passion filled the room, leaving them both breathless and satisfied.
Each encounter with his trusted women strengthened Wang Li's resolve, fueling his determination to lead the Three Peaks Alliance to greatness.
