Chen Guanghua of the Blood Red Alliance seethes with rage over the Lin Family's decisive victory, which claimed Song Chufeng's life and decimated their elites following Lin Tianming's breakthrough to Nascent Soul. The Lin Family thwarted the assault just in time, inflicting heavy losses on their foes. At the Yulan Sect, Zhou Tianlong learns from Wang Zhiyuan of Lin Tianyun's persistent pleas for aid against the Blood Red Alliance, which prompted only limited pressure without full commitment.

Regrettably, from the Yulan Sect's perspective, until Zhou Tianlong emerges from seclusion, the sect's actions remain severely limited.

The Lin Family's fate, whether life or death, lies beyond the Yulan Sect's influence.

Hence, Lin Tianyun has lingered in the Yulan Sect lately, filled with anxiety as he awaits Zhou Tianlong's completion of seclusion.

That changed in recent days when shocking news erupted from the Jinfeng Nation, prompting Lin Tianyun to quickly take leave from the Yulan Sect Master.

Evidently, Lin Tianyun had caught wind of that explosive report too.

Should the report hold true, and if Lin Tianming truly stabilizes his realm and breaks out of seclusion before the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array shatters, the outcome becomes predictable.

The danger from Song Chufeng would then be effortlessly neutralized.

So, despite uncertainty about the report's authenticity, Lin Tianyun gauged from the cultivation world's frenzied response that it was likely genuine.

In such a scenario, Lin Tianyun rushed away from the Yulan Sect, burning with urgency to rush back to the Jin Feng Country Cultivation World.

Not long before, Lin Xingrong, bearing a parallel mission to Lin Tianyun's, also swiftly parted ways with the Tang Family.

Yet the contrast lay in Lin Xingrong's immediate audience with the Nascent Soul Stage expert Tang Tianlong, to whom he revealed the dire straits of the Lin Family.

Still, the Tang Family displayed a hesitant stance.

After all, to the Tang Family, the Blood Red Alliance stood as a colossal entity too risky to challenge lightly.

Though the Tang Family boasts Nascent Soul power, a vast disparity exists in overall might between these two Nascent Soul forces.

For example, the Blood Red Alliance's Great Elder, Chen Guanghua, reigns as a Nascent Soul Middle Stage powerhouse, his prowess probably rivaled solely by Yulan Sect's Zhou Tianlong across all of Qingzhou Land.

Beyond that, the Blood Red Alliance harbors Song Chufeng, a Nascent Soul Early Stage figure whose strength falls in no way short of the Tang Family's top expert, Tang Tianlong.

This very power imbalance explains why, despite the Tang Family's long-standing hostility toward the Blood Red Alliance, committing to all-out conflict proves no simple feat.

As a result, following moments of wavering, the Tang Family merely delayed Lin Xingrong for the time being.

That said, as allies to the Lin Family, the Tang Family responded covertly by sending over a dozen members toward the Lin Family Clan Grounds in the Jin Feng Country Cultivation World, aiming to sow some caution in Song Chufeng's heart.

Should Song Chufeng prove wary, he might suspect Tang Tianlong's personal arrival at the Lin Family, sparking fear and granting the Lin Family precious extra time.

Witnessing Tang Tianlong's reluctance to move and failing to sway the Tang Family fully, Lin Xingrong hesitated to depart right away.

Thus, Lin Xingrong remained at the Tang Family, pressing for multiple audiences with Tang Tianlong.

That shifted just days prior, when a bombshell report arrived from the Jinfeng Nation.

The report declared that Lin Family's Lin Tianming had shattered into the Nascent Soul Realm and clashed fiercely with Blood Red Alliance's Song Chufeng right outside the Lin Family Clan Grounds.

Ultimately, Lin Tianming slew Song Chufeng in direct combat, while the Lin Family annihilated the remaining Blood Red Alliance cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingrong first dismissed it as dubious.

Given that Lin Tianming's entry into Nascent Soul Stage was so recent, after all.

Achieving realm stability in mere days presents an immense challenge.

Though Lin Xingrong hasn't attained Nascent Soul yet, he grasps the sheer difficulty well.

Yet with mounting reports pouring in, their reliability grew undeniable, compelling Lin Xingrong to reluctantly embrace the truth amid his doubts.

Consequently, ignoring the Tang Family's position, Lin Xingrong bolted from the Tang Family, racing toward the Jin Feng Nation at top speed.

Through this, Lin Xingrong and Lin Tianyun—two vital Lin Family envoys dispatched to solicit aid from dual Nascent Soul powers—both set course back to the Lin Family.

Right then, inside Yulan Sect's gates, Zhou Tianlong reeled in utter astonishment at the thunderous news.

He recognized Lin Tianming's exceptional talent and vast potential for growth, with solid odds of hitting Nascent Soul Stage.

Still, he never foresaw the Lin Family securing a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item so swiftly, nor Lin Tianming breaking through to Nascent Soul this rapidly.

Moreover, upon emerging from seclusion, Lin Tianming straightaway vanquished the seasoned Nascent Soul cultivator Song Chufeng.

This revelation plunged Zhou Tianlong into profound shock.

Once composure returned, a pang of regret stirred unavoidably in his heart.

The cause was straightforward: he viewed this as the prime chance for Yulan Sect to forge deeper bonds with the Lin Family and draw in the prodigy Lin Tianming.

Alas, the Yulan Sect let that golden opportunity slip.

True, the Yulan Sect had quietly dispatched Golden Core Stage disciples to the borderlands between nations, exerting pressure on the Blood Red Alliance.

Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivator Wang Zhiyuan made two public showings at Yulan Country's frontier.

In truth, this cautious strategy served the Yulan Sect's core interests best.

However, relative to the Lin Family's desperate straits then, it paled far short of rendering aid at the critical juncture.

Thus, while the Lin Family may harbor some gratitude toward the Yulan Sect later, that sentiment will probably stay quite restrained.

To the Yulan Sect, the Lin Family represents a prized ally, and profound collaboration could well dismantle the Blood Red Alliance.

Yet now, the Lin Family's faith in the Yulan Sect may wane, hindering a solid united front.

Reclaiming such a squandered chance won't come easily for the Yulan Sect.

This realization left Zhou Tianlong feeling somewhat powerless.

Nevertheless, on second thought, the Lin Family's ascent as a Nascent Soul clan and Lin Tianming's triumphant Nascent Soul breakthrough ultimately benefits Qingzhou's major powers.

Lin Tianming's prowess and aptitude shine brightly for everyone to witness.

The deep-seated feud between Lin Family and Blood Red Alliance echoes throughout Qingzhou Cultivation World.

With Song Chufeng, the Blood Red Alliance's Nascent Soul Stage pillar, now fallen, and half its elite disciples decimated, the alliance's peak strength has plummeted dramatically.

Put differently, the Blood Red Alliance endures massive setbacks at present.

Considering its host of foes and fresh offense against the promising Nascent Soul Family—the Lin Family—its road ahead grows ever thornier.

Viewed this way, Lin Tianming's breakthrough spells great tidings for the Yulan Sect and all forces nursing grudges against the Blood Red Alliance.

Grasping this point softened Zhou Tianlong's regrets a touch.

Zhou Tianlong's reaction mirrored closely the stances of Qingzhou's other Nascent Soul force leaders.

Forces like Yuanzhen Sect and Thousand Melody Sect, lacking intense vendettas with the Blood Red Alliance, still bristled at its typical arrogance and deeds.

Now, seeing the Blood Red Alliance reel from grievous blows due to its own folly delights them immensely.

For the Blood Red Alliance's decline eases pressures on these powers too.

At the same time, it narrows power imbalances among Qingzhou's Nascent Soul factions.

Forces harboring outright grudges against the Blood Red Alliance feel this delight most keenly.

Hence, beyond Blood Red Alliance's vassals, Qingzhou's myriad powers, great and small, welcome this turn of events with glee.

Exactly this collective glee fueled the news's lightning spread across Qingzhou, igniting even fiercer upheavals.
