On the third night, Wang Li entered the chambers of his cousin, Wang Xiangyi. The air was thick with anticipation as she awaited him, her eyes burning with a mix of desire and forbidden excitement.
"Cousin," she greeted him, her voice low and sultry, "I knew you'd come."
He approached her, his gaze locked on hers. "I can't resist you, Xiangyi," he said, pulling her into a searing kiss.
Their hands roamed over each other's bodies, tearing away their clothes in a frenzy of passion. Wang Li's lips traveled down her neck, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. He cupped her full breasts, squeezing and kneading them until she moaned with pleasure.
"Wang Li, please," she begged, her body trembling with need.
He lifted her onto the bed, spreading her legs wide. "You're mine, Xiangyi," he growled, positioning himself at her entrance.
Their bodies joined in a perfect union, moving together in a dance of raw, primal passion. Wang Li was aggressive, his thrusts deep and powerful, driving them both to the brink of ecstasy. Wang Xiangyi wrapped her legs around him, urging him deeper, her nails raking down his back.
"Yes, Wang Li, yes!" she screamed, her climax washing over her in waves.
He followed soon after, filling her with his essence, their bodies shuddering in unison. As they lay together, spent and satisfied, Wang Li kissed her tenderly.
While Wang Li indulged in his secret harem, the frequency of attacks by the devil sects on the allies of the Three Peaks Alliance increased. The Shadow Blade Sect and the White Bone Sect looted treasures and resources from the allies, causing significant trade losses for the Three Peaks Alliance.
Despite these losses, Wang Li remained steadfast in his decision not to take immediate action against the devil sects. He knew that defense was the best strategy for now.
In response to the escalating attacks, Wang Li called for a meeting at the Jade Lotus Palace sect. Present were Palace Mistress Jiu Lan, Palace Mistress Gao Ming of the Emerald Sea Palace sect, Xia Bingling, and Song Jingyan.
Wang Li began the meeting with a serious tone. "Thank you all for coming. We need to discuss our tactics against the devil sects."
Palace Mistress Jiu Lan looked at him curiously. "Are you seeking assistance against the Shadow Blade Sect and the White Bone Sect?"
Wang Li shook his head. "No. Let them do whatever they want. Our focus should be on locating the bases of the Iron Hammer Sect and the Blood Chain Sect."
This statement shocked everyone present. Palace Mistress Gao Ming furrowed her brow. "Why not retaliate against the current attackers?"
Wang Li explained, "The devil sects have become bold because of the destruction of the Golden Bell Temple and the dispersion of the Crimson Rock Sect. With fewer righteous sects, they feel superior. To restore balance, we must eliminate the weakened Iron Hammer Sect and Blood Chain Sect."
His analysis and plan left everyone stunned. Palace Mistress Jiu Lan spoke up. "Your plan makes sense, but how do we completely destroy these sects? They have accumulated great resources and secret treasures."
Wang Li reassured them. "It will be difficult, but we have a good chance. We will target them one by one, starting with the Iron Hammer Sect. They have no more than two Soul Integration Realm experts, possibly supplemented by puppets. Our side has four: myself, my mother-in-law Matriarch Xia Bingling, Palace Mistress Jiu Lan, and Palace Mistress Gao Ming. We can win this."
Convinced by his logic, everyone agreed to the plan. The Jade Lotus Palace sect and the Emerald Sea Palace sect ordered their disciples and elders to search for the hidden locations of the Iron Hammer Sect's base.
After a month of searching, they failed to find it.
Wang Li suggested a new strategy to Palace Mistress Jiu Lan through a communication talisman. "Tell your disciples to track the movements of the Iron Hammer Sect's disciples. They will lead us to their base."
Following Wang Li's advice, the Jade Lotus Palace sect implemented the strategy, and within two weeks, they discovered the hidden base of the Iron Hammer Sect, concealed by an illusionary veil.
Gao Ming followed suit. "Aqua Serpent Strike!" Her sword, made of Water Essence Ore, extended and coiled like a serpent, its length changing as she infused more spiritual energy. The power of her White Shark Spiritual Beast surged through her, amplifying her Water Attribute.
The Grand Elder, wielding the power of his Silver Iron Silkworm, fought back fiercely. "Iron Silkworm Barrage!" He sent a flurry of metallic threads towards the two palace mistresses. The threads cut through the air with deadly precision.
Jiu Lan and Gao Ming dodged and parried, their coordinated attacks pushing the Grand Elder back. "Emerald Willow Slash!" Jiu Lan's blade cleaved through the air, severing the threads.
"Ocean's Fury!" Gao Ming unleashed a torrent of water, overwhelming the Grand Elder's defenses. The water crashed against him, leaving him vulnerable.
Desperate, the Grand Elder summoned more ancient puppets. "Defend the sect with your lives!" The puppets, their bodies glowing with ancient runes, charged forward.
Wang Li saw the puppets and knew he had to act quickly. "Xia Bingling, focus on the Sect Leader! I'll handle the puppets!"
Nodding, Xia Bingling intensified her attacks on the Sect Leader. "Blizzard's Wrath!" Her sword, encased in ice, struck with the force of a winter storm.
Wang Li turned his attention to the puppets. "Dragon's Roar!" His sword glowed with Draconic Yang energy, sending shockwaves that shattered the puppets' defenses.
Despite their efforts, the Sect Leader and Grand Elder of the Iron Hammer Sect realized they were losing. "This can't be happening," the Sect Leader muttered, his face twisted in anger.
Wang Li, seeing their desperation, pressed his advantage. "It's over for you," he said coldly. "Phoenix Yin Inferno!" His sword burst into flames, the pure Yin energy burning away the demonic taint.
The Sect Leader tried one last desperate attack. "Steel Tempest!" His Wind Attribute created a whirlwind of blades, but Wang Li's Phoenix Yin Attribute easily cut through it.
Xia Bingling seized the moment. "Serpent's Ice Prison!" Her Glacial Blizzard Serpent coiled around the Sect Leader, freezing him in place.
At the same time, Jiu Lan and Gao Ming delivered their final blows to the Grand Elder. "Emerald Lotus Bloom!" Jiu Lan's blade unleashed a burst of green energy, enveloping the Grand Elder.
"Shark's Bite!" Gao Ming's sword extended, piercing through the Grand Elder's defenses. The combined attack left him no chance to counter.
With their leaders defeated, the remaining members of the Iron Hammer Sect lost their will to fight. The disciples and elders of the Jade Lotus Palace and Emerald Sea Palace quickly subdued them, securing the base.
Wang Li stood over the fallen Sect Leader, his eyes hard. "This is the price of your tyranny," he said, his voice cold and unwavering.
Xia Bingling approached, her sword still glowing with ice. "We did it, Li. The Iron Hammer Sect is no more."
Palace Mistress Jiu Lan and Palace Mistress Gao Ming joined them, their expressions triumphant. "Your plan was brilliant, Wang Li," Jiu Lan said, her voice filled with admiration.
Gao Ming nodded. "Yes, you led us to victory. The righteous sects will always prevail."
Wang Li sheathed his sword, looking around at the aftermath of the battle. "This is only the beginning. We must continue to fight until all the devil sects are eradicated."
The warriors of the Jade Lotus Palace and Emerald Sea Palace cheered, their spirits high. They had won a significant victory today, but the battle against the devil sects was far from over.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, casting its light over the defeated Iron Hammer Sect, Wang Li knew that their journey was far from over. But with the strength and determination of his allies, he was confident that they would prevail.
The righteous sects had struck a decisive blow, and the balance of power had begun to shift. But the road ahead was still fraught with danger. Wang Li, with his Heavenly Fate Pupils and the support of his powerful allies, was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
