Harem Developing Villain

Chapter 210: Palace Mistress Yue Wuxin

Lin Zhenguan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "We will not sit idly by. We must disrupt his plans and weaken his position before he can establish himself. Send word to our allies, and let the devil sects know that Wang Li has arrived. They will be eager to strike him down."

The devil sects, always on the lookout for new threats and opportunities, were quick to act on the information. The leaders of these dark factions convened in their hidden lairs, plotting their attacks against the newly-formed Holy Devil Dragon Sect.

"Wang Li has arrived on the mainland," a sinister voice echoed through the dimly lit chamber of the Blood Moon Sect, one of the most feared devil sects. "His sect is a threat to our plans. We must crush it before it can grow."

"Yes," another voice hissed, belonging to a shadowy figure seated in the corner. "We will send waves of attacks to weaken his defenses and sow chaos in his ranks. Let him feel the full wrath of the devil sects."

The devil sects wasted no time in mobilizing their forces. Within days, dark clouds gathered over the location of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect, and a wave of demonic creatures and malevolent spirits descended upon the base. The air crackled with dark energy as the forces of the devil sects unleashed their fury.

However, Luo Ziyi had anticipated such an assault. She had spent days meticulously preparing the defenses of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect's base, ensuring that it would be ready for any attack. When the devil sects' forces arrived, they were met not with chaos, but with an organized and well-fortified stronghold.

"Activate the barriers!" Luo Ziyi commanded, her voice calm and authoritative. The disciples and warriors of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect sprang into action, channeling their spiritual energy into the defensive formations that had been set up around the base.

A shimmering barrier of golden light enveloped the entire area, pulsating with a powerful spiritual aura. The devilish creatures hurled themselves against the barrier, but it held strong, repelling their attacks with ease.

"Is this the best they can do?" Luo Ziyi muttered to herself, her lips curling into a smirk. "Pathetic."

The devil sects' forces, realizing that brute force would not be enough to breach the barrier, began to employ more insidious tactics. Dark mists and curses were sent forth, seeking to erode the barrier from within and cause panic among the sect's members.

But Luo Ziyi was prepared for this as well. She had placed talismans and protective seals throughout the base, each one designed to counteract such dark energies. As the mists and curses approached, they were instantly neutralized, dissipating harmlessly into the air.

"Keep your positions," Luo Ziyi instructed her warriors. "They are trying to deceive us, but we will not fall for their tricks."

The battle raged on, but the defenses of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect remained unyielding. The devil sects' forces grew increasingly frustrated as their attacks failed to make any significant impact. Despite their efforts, they could not find a way to penetrate the stronghold.

Meanwhile, Wang Li observed the battle from a high vantage point, his expression one of satisfaction. Luo Ziyi's preparations had been flawless, and the devil sects were being thoroughly outmatched.

"Ziyi," Wang Li called out as she approached him, "you have done an exceptional job. Our defenses are impenetrable."

Luo Ziyi bowed slightly, her expression still serious. "Thank you, Master Wang Li. But we must remain vigilant. The devil sects are relentless, and they will not give up easily."

Wang Li nodded, his gaze shifting back to the battlefield. "Indeed. But they will learn soon enough that the Holy Devil Dragon Sect is not to be trifled with."

The devil sects, realizing that their initial assault had failed, retreated into the shadows, regrouping and plotting their next move. However, their failure only served to embolden the Holy Devil Dragon Sect and its allies.

News of the successful defense against the devil sects spread quickly, earning the Holy Devil Dragon Sect a reputation as a formidable force. The other sects and cultivation families who had been watching from afar began to view Wang Li and his sect with even greater respect.

"The Holy Devil Dragon Sect has proven its strength," one elder from the Qingyang Sect remarked. "They held off the devil sects without breaking a sweat. We should consider deepening our alliance with them."

"Agreed," another elder replied. "Wang Li is a man of his word, and his sect could be a valuable ally in the battles to come."

Even the Yuwen Family, known for their cautious approach, decided to extend an olive branch to Wang Li. "We should send a delegation to meet with Wang Li," Patriarch Yuwen suggested. "It is better to have him as an ally than as an adversary."

As the days passed, the Holy Devil Dragon Sect continued to grow and fortify its position on the mainland. Luo Ziyi's preparations ensured that the sect remained well-protected, and the members of the sect worked tirelessly to build up their strength.

Wang Li continued to cultivate alliances and expand his influence. He knew that the devil sects would not give up so easily, but he was confident that the Holy Devil Dragon Sect would stand strong against any threat.

One evening, as Wang Li stood in his chamber, overlooking the bustling activity of the sect below, Luo Ziyi entered, her expression thoughtful.

"Master Wang Li," she began, "I have been thinking about our future here. The mainland is vast, and there are many opportunities for us to expand our influence."

Wang Li turned to her, his interest piqued. "Go on, Ziyi. What do you have in mind?"

Luo Ziyi stepped closer, her eyes meeting his. "We should consider establishing branches of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect in other regions of the mainland. By doing so, we can spread our influence and secure our position as one of the top sects."

Wang Li considered her words carefully. "That is a sound strategy. We will need to select trusted individuals to lead these branches, ensuring that they remain loyal to the core of our sect."

Luo Ziyi nodded. "I have already identified a few candidates who could be suitable for this task. With your approval, I will begin making the necessary arrangements."

"Very well," Wang Li agreed. "Proceed with your plan, Ziyi. The Holy Devil Dragon Sect will continue to grow, and we will become a force to be reckoned with."

As Luo Ziyi left to put her plans into motion, Wang Li couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and anticipation. The Holy Devil Dragon Sect had only just begun its journey on the mainland, and already it was making waves.

But Wang Li knew that this was only the beginning.

A few days passed in uneasy silence after the initial assault by the devil sects.

Among the most promising of these allies was the Silver Moon Palace sect, a prestigious and powerful sect known for its formidable warriors and skilled cultivators. Wang Li had initiated contact with the Silver Moon Palace sect, recognizing the mutual benefits of an alliance.

The Silver Moon Palace sect, wary of the growing influence of the devil sects on the mainland, was open to the idea of forming an alliance with Wang Li's Holy Devil Dragon Sect.

One morning, as the first rays of dawn began to pierce through the thick mist that shrouded the base of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect, a group of emissaries from the Silver Moon Palace sect arrived. They were led by Palace Mistress Yue Wuxin, a regal and powerful woman known for her beauty and strategic mind.

Wang Li personally welcomed her and her entourage. "Palace Mistress Yue Wuxin," he greeted her with a respectful nod, "it is an honor to have you here."

"The honor is mine, Master Wang Li," Yue Wuxin replied, her voice smooth and composed. "I have heard much about your sect's strength and resilience. I believe that together, we can stand against the devil sects that threaten our world."

Wang Li smiled, pleased with her straightforwardness. "Indeed, Palace Mistress. The devil sects have been relentless, but with your support, I am confident we can push them back."

Yue Wuxin gestured to the group of warriors behind her. "I have brought some of my finest disciples and elders to assist in defending your sect. The Silver Moon Palace sect stands ready to fight alongside you."

Wang Li nodded, his mind already racing with plans. "We are grateful for your support. Let us prepare for the inevitable attack."

As the days passed, the combined forces of the Holy Devil Dragon Sect and the Silver Moon Palace sect worked together to fortify their defenses. The atmosphere was tense, as everyone knew that the devil sects were merely biding their time, waiting for the right moment to strike.

That moment came one night, under the cover of darkness. The devil sects launched a surprise attack, their forces appearing suddenly from the shadows like a swarm of locusts descending upon the Holy Devil Dragon Sect's base. The night sky was filled with the eerie glow of demonic auras, and the air was thick with the stench of malevolence.
