### ** Chapter 15: The renalgadios's Alliance **
The next morning brought with an air of renovation. Liang Feng and Mei Lin were received in the village with a mix of respect and curiosity. The news that they had survived the cave of the souls spread quickly, and many inhabitants looked at them with admiration.
The Kang leader called them to a meeting in the big hut, where other village leaders were already gathered. The atmosphere was serious, but Liang Feng felt a spark of hope. He knew this was the moment to win allies to the battle that was coming.
"You have proven your courage," - the Kang leader, looking at Liang Feng and Mei Lin. "" But now we need to discuss how we can work together. "
Liang Feng took a step forward, his serious expression.
"The shadow clan is a threat to all of us. They are growing in power and will not stop even dominating all lands around. If we do not unite, we will be destroyed one by one."
The village leaders exchanged looks, but it was a woman with silver hair who spoke first.
"" And what do you suggest? " He asked, his voice loaded from skepticism.
Mei Lin took a step forward, holding a calm and respectful posture.
"We need a plan. The shadow clan is strong, but it's not invincible. If we attack your weaknesses and we use our skills in a strategic way, we can defeat them."
Kang's leader waved his head, his pensive expression.
"" And how do you want to do that? "
Liang Feng looked at the leaders, feeling a new determination to burn inside him.
"We need information. We know that the shadow clan has a base in the dark slopes. If we can infiltrate us there, we can discover your plans and find a way to defeat them."
The village leaders exchanged looks, but it was the leader Kang who spoke first.
"" Well, let's help you. But we need guarantees that we are not risking in vain. "
Liang Feng looked at Mei Lin, feeling a wave of relief. They knew this was just the first step, but they also knew they were on the right way.
"We'll do what you need," he said unto him.
The meeting continued for hours, with Liang Feng and Mei Lin presenting his plans and the leaders of the village offering suggestions and criticism. Finally, a plan was formulated: they would send a small group of cultivators to infiltrate the base of the shadow of the shadows, while the rest of the village prepares for the battle.
When the meeting was, Liang Feng and Mei Lin came out of the hut, feeling a wave of determination. They knew that the way forward would be difficult, but they also knew they were not alone.
"We got," said Mei Lin, his voice full of hope.
Liang Feng looked at her, feeling a new determination to burn inside him.
"This is just the beginning. But we're on the right way."
