Meanwhile, Luo Ziyi was striding purposefully through the camp towards Lin Yun's tent. She entered without knocking, her presence immediately commanding attention. Lin Yun, who was poring over battle plans, looked up in surprise.

"Luo Ziyi, what brings you here?" he asked, trying to mask his irritation with a forced smile.

"We need to retreat," Luo Ziyi stated bluntly, her tone leaving no room for argument. "The losses we've sustained and the resources we've expended are significant. We must use this time to recover instead of launching another attack on the Three Peaks Alliance."

Lin Yun's face twisted with frustration. "But we are so close! Another attack could tip the balance in our favor. We cannot show weakness now!"

Luo Ziyi's eyes narrowed, her tone turning icy. "I am not asking for your opinion, Lin Yun. I am informing you of my decision. The Black Lion Guards will not join the next attack. If you wish to proceed foolishly, do so without us."

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, his fists clenching in anger, but he knew better than to argue further. Luo Ziyi was far more powerful than he was, and her support was crucial. "Fine," he spat, barely able to hide his disdain. "We will retreat for now."

Luo Ziyi gave a curt nod and turned to leave. As she exited his tent, she heard Lin Yun muttering angry curses under his breath. His desire to dominate her was palpable, but he knew such thoughts were suicidal. Luo Ziyi was a Soul Integration Realm expert, leagues above his own cultivation level.

Once Luo Ziyi returned to her own tent, she allowed herself a moment of relief. She had successfully manipulated Lin Yun into retreating, buying them time. She knew Wang Li would be pleased with the outcome.

Back in his tent, Lin Yun seethed with rage. "Damn that woman," he snarled. "If only I could push her down and have my way with her." But he knew it was a foolish fantasy. Luo Ziyi's power was far beyond his reach, and without her support, his plans against the Three Peaks Alliance were doomed.

Reluctantly, Lin Yun ordered the Lin Family's forces to retreat back to their base. The soldiers moved out, their spirits low and their morale shaken.

The retreat was seen as a sign of weakness, and many feared what would come next.

As the days passed, news began to spread across the island about the Lin Family's collaboration with demonic sects like the White Bone Sect and the Shadow Blade Sect. Whispers and rumors grew louder, and soon the truth was out in the open. The righteous sects and cultivation families were appalled by the Lin Family's betrayal.

The general populace turned against them, and the Lin Family found themselves ostracized.

Trade and support from local forces dwindled to nothing. Without the backing of the island's righteous sects and cultivation families, the Lin Family's branch began to weaken. Supplies became scarce, and the morale of their forces plummeted. Their once strong foundation started to crumble.

Back at the Lin Family's base, the atmosphere was tense. Lin Yun paced in his tent, frustration etched into his features. "Damn that woman," he muttered to himself. "If only she hadn't pulled back her support, we could have crushed the Three Peaks Alliance and maintained our standing."

His advisors tried to reassure him, but their words fell on deaf ears. Lin Yun knew that without Luo Ziyi's Black Lion Guards, his chances of success were slim. He had no choice but to bide his time and hope for an opportunity to regain their strength.

Luo Ziyi, on the other hand, watched the unfolding events with satisfaction. Her allegiance now lay with Wang Li, and she knew that their plan was working perfectly. The Lin Family's branch on the island was weakening, just as they had intended.

In the days that followed, the Lin Family's base became a ghost town. The once bustling hub of activity was now eerily quiet, as soldiers and cultivators deserted in droves. The few that remained were demoralized and disheartened, their spirits broken by the loss of support and resources.

While the Lin Family struggled, Wang Li spent most of his time with his beloved wife, Xia Qingwu. Her pregnancy had progressed to nearly four months, and a noticeable bulge in her stomach showed the steady growth of their child. Wang Li was the epitome of a loving husband, attending to her every need with care and tenderness.

"Qingwu," he said one morning, bringing her a tray of breakfast he had prepared himself. "How are you feeling today?"

Xia Qingwu smiled warmly, her eyes filled with love. "I'm feeling much better, thanks to you, my love."

Wang Li gently placed a hand on her swollen belly, feeling the faint movements of their child. "Our baby is growing strong," he said softly. "I can't wait to meet him or her."

He often cooked for her, prepared herbal tonics to ensure her health, and took her on leisurely walks around their territory. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day, filled with shared moments of joy and anticipation for their future.

But Xia Qingwu was not the only one carrying Wang Li's child. Liu Xue, Shi Feiyan, Elder Ming Yue, and Elder Lan Xue were also pregnant with his children. Their pregnancies were at different stages, with Liu Xue and Elder Ming Yue at two and a half months, and Shi Feiyan and Elder Lan Xue at two months.

Each of them had taken leave from their respective sects to go into secluded cultivation, living together in a hidden cavern near the Three Peaks Alliance. They all knew about each other and had developed close relationships, bonded by their shared connection to Wang Li.

The secluded cavern was well-protected and hidden from prying eyes. Inside, it was spacious and comfortable, with each woman having her own private quarters. They often gathered in the common area to chat, practice cultivation, and support each other through their pregnancies.

"This place is perfect for our secluded cultivation," Liu Xue said one evening, looking around the cozy cavern. "We can train and take care of ourselves and our babies without any interruptions."

Shi Feiyan nodded, her hand resting on her still-flat stomach. "And we have each other for support. We're all in this together."

Elder Ming Yue smiled warmly. "Yes, we are. And we have Wang Li's love and protection."

Wang Li regularly visited them, ensuring their safety and well-being. He had to maintain their secrecy from the outside world, but within the cavern, he could be himself and shower them with affection.

One evening, he arrived at the cavern to find Liu Xue meditating. She opened her eyes and smiled as he approached.

"Wang Li," she greeted, standing to embrace him. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too, Xue'er," he replied, holding her close. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm well, thanks to you," she said, her hand resting on her stomach. "Our baby is growing strong."

Wang Li kissed her gently, then turned to greet the others. Shi Feiyan and Elder Lan Xue joined them, their faces lighting up with happiness at his arrival.

"Li, it's so good to see you," Shi Feiyan said, her eyes shining with affection.

Elder Lan Xue nodded. "We've been waiting for you."

Wang Li spent the evening with them, ensuring they were comfortable and happy. He cooked for them, prepared herbal tonics, and shared stories of his plans and dreams. The women listened intently, their admiration and love for him evident in their eyes.

Meanwhile, as the news of the Lin Family's collaboration with demonic sects continued to spread, their reputation on the island deteriorated rapidly. The righteous sects and families shunned them, refusing any form of alliance or trade. The once formidable branch of the Lin Family was now a shadow of its former self, struggling to maintain its strength and resources.

Wang Li watched these developments with a keen eye, knowing that their weakened state presented an opportunity. With Luo Ziyi's insider knowledge and his own cunning, he was confident they could exploit the Lin Family's vulnerabilities to further their own plans.

In the days that followed, Wang Li continued to balance his time between caring for Xia Qingwu, visiting his secret mistresses, and planning the downfall of the Lin Family. Each aspect of his life was interconnected, and he navigated them with skill and determination.

His love for Xia Qingwu was unwavering, and he ensured she felt cherished and supported. His secret mistresses, Liu Xue, Shi Feiyan, Elder Ming Yue, and Elder Lan Xue, were equally important to him, and he made sure they were cared for and protected.

As the Lin Family's branch weakened and their reputation crumbled, Wang Li knew that their time to strike was approaching. With Luo Ziyi by his side and the support of his loved ones, he was confident they would achieve their goals and secure their future.

The island's power dynamics were shifting, and Wang Li was determined to emerge victorious.
