Supreme sect of all multiverse

A Tense Stand-Off

The battlefield fell silent as the golden-robed figure stood between Lin Feng and the Shadow Serpent Sect leader. Their mere presence shifted the balance of power, and both sides instinctively took a step back.

Lin Feng turned his head slightly. "Elder Bai… I didn't expect you to show up."

Elder Bai smiled faintly. "I tend to appear when interesting things happen."

The Shadow Serpent Sect leader, still radiating an overwhelming aura, crossed his arms. "So, the Supreme Sect has allies in high places… This changes things."

Lin Feng didn't lower his guard. "We came to reclaim this city. You still have the option to leave."

The opposing leader chuckled. "And why would I do that when I've already taken control?"

Elder Bai sighed. "Because if you stay, you won't be leaving in one piece."

The tension in the air thickened. The next move would determine everything.

Strategic Maneuvers

Lin Feng's mind worked rapidly. The presence of Elder Bai gave him an advantage, but he knew that direct conflict could lead to unnecessary risks.

He turned to his disciples. "Secure the remaining civilians. Make sure no one else is caught in this battle."

Zhang Wei and Mei Ling immediately moved, their presence ensuring order in the chaotic city.

The Shadow Serpent Sect leader narrowed his eyes. "Trying to play hero?"

Lin Feng smirked. "Just making sure you don't have any distractions when you lose."

The opposing leader's expression darkened. With a wave of his hand, his sect members took defensive positions. "Very well. If you want a battle, then let's see if you can handle it."

The Battle Resumes

Without warning, the Shadow Serpent Sect leader struck first. A powerful energy wave surged toward Lin Feng, tearing through the battlefield.

Elder Bai raised a single hand, effortlessly dispersing the attack. "You'll have to try harder than that."

Lin Feng wasted no time, dashing forward and clashing with his opponent once more. Their battle shook the very foundations of Bloodshade City, the sheer force of their strikes echoing through the air.

The Supreme Sect's disciples held their ground, ensuring that their leader had the space to fight without interference. Zhang Wei and Mei Ling kept the enemy cultivators at bay, their teamwork proving invaluable.

As the battle raged, Lin Feng felt the strain of maintaining his enhanced abilities. The system's voice echoed in his mind:

"Host, continued usage of this technique may cause severe consequences. Recommend an alternative strategy."

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He needed a decisive move—one that could end this fight before his energy was drained.

Then, an idea struck him.

A Calculated Risk

Lin Feng feigned a moment of exhaustion, lowering his stance slightly. The Shadow Serpent Sect leader took the bait, lunging forward for a finishing strike.

At the last second, Lin Feng activated Heavenly Mirage Step, vanishing from sight and reappearing behind his opponent.

With one powerful strike, he unleashed Void Lightning Piercer, sending a concentrated blast of energy into his enemy's back.

The Shadow Serpent Sect leader staggered, momentarily losing control of his aura.

Elder Bai took this opportunity, raising his hand and summoning a golden chain of energy. It wrapped around the opponent, sealing his movements.

Lin Feng took a deep breath. "Looks like this fight is over."

The opponent struggled against the restraints but ultimately sighed. "You win this round."

With a final glance at Lin Feng, he signaled his sect members to retreat.

Bloodshade City was reclaimed.

Aftermath

As the dust settled, Lin Feng surveyed the battlefield. His sect had won, but he knew this was only the beginning.

Elder Bai placed a hand on Lin Feng's shoulder. "You did well. But be careful—stronger enemies will come for you now."

Lin Feng smirked. "Let them come."

With the Supreme Sect's reputation growing, new challenges awaited. But Lin Feng was ready for whatever came next.
