Supreme sect of all multiverse

Preparing for War

The sun barely rose over Bloodshade City before Lin Feng began preparing for what was coming. The Silent Phantom Clan wouldn't stay idle for long.

Inside the Supreme Sect's hall, Lin Feng sat at the head of a long table, surrounded by his core members—Zhang Wei, Mei Ling, Chen Bo, and Xu Yue.

He tapped the table. "We now know the Silent Phantom Clan sees us as a threat. If we don't prepare, they'll strike first."

Xu Yue folded her arms. "They're assassins. They won't march an army into the city. Expect infiltration, poisonings, and sudden disappearances."

Chen Bo nodded. "I'll increase security and have our disciples train to resist stealth attacks."

Zhang Wei grinned. "Sounds good, but I'd rather take the fight to them first."

Lin Feng smirked. "I was thinking the same thing. We can't just defend—we need to make them hesitate."

The system chimed in:

"New Quest: Weaken the Silent Phantom Clan. Objective: Strike first and disrupt their operations. Reward: Supreme Sect Prestige +10%, Elite Disciples +5."

Lin Feng stood up. "Looks like we're going hunting."

Striking First

That night, Lin Feng, Zhang Wei, and a squad of elite disciples set out toward a rumored Silent Phantom Clan outpost.

They arrived at a ruined temple deep in the mountains. Shadows flickered in the moonlight. It was quiet—too quiet.

Lin Feng signaled his group to stop. "Trap."

The moment he spoke, black-robed figures emerged from the darkness.

A voice echoed. "We expected you, Supreme Sect Leader."

Lin Feng chuckled. "Then you should've prepared better."

With a wave of his hand, he activated Void Lightning Domain, sending arcs of lightning across the battlefield. Several assassins fell instantly.

Zhang Wei and the elite disciples charged in, clashing against the remaining assassins.

Mei Ling, hidden in the trees, whispered a chant—activating Thousand Phantom Illusions, confusing the enemies.

Lin Feng focused on the leader of the assassins—a tall, masked figure wielding twin daggers.

The assassin dashed forward, moving at near-impossible speeds. But Lin Feng activated Heavenly Mirage Step, dodging every strike effortlessly.

Then, he countered.

Void Lightning Palm!

Boom!

The assassin crashed into a tree, coughing up blood.

Lin Feng smirked. "Not so tough."

The assassin growled. "You… don't understand what you've done."

The system chimed in:

"Hidden Event Triggered: The Silent Phantom Clan's True Master Has Taken Notice."

Lin Feng's smirk faded. "…That doesn't sound good."

Suddenly, a chilling aura spread through the air. The sky darkened.

From the shadows, a new figure emerged—a man in a dark cloak, his presence overwhelming.

Zhang Wei tensed. "Who the hell is that?"

The system's voice rang in Lin Feng's mind:

"Warning: Target identified—Phantom Sovereign, leader of the Silent Phantom Clan. Estimated cultivation: Peak Saint Realm."

Lin Feng blinked. "…Oh. That's bad."

The Phantom Sovereign's cold voice cut through the air. "You dare challenge my clan? Foolish."

Lin Feng exhaled. "Alright… new plan. We run."

The battle had just begun, but Lin Feng already knew—this enemy was

far beyond anything he had faced before.
