  Qi Hai smiled and said to Ye Yuan, “Don’t look at how Old Man Duan is very unassuming. His strength is pretty decent and should be even above the three of them. It’s just that his natural disposition is lazy and was unwilling to stick a hand in secular affairs. Hence, he found a secluded place in the Southern Domain and lived there quietly.”

  Ye Yuan nodded slightly. For an itinerant cultivator to cultivate to such a realm, it was truly not easy.

  This Old Man Duan seemed to be not too willing either. He just sat down beside Qi Hai and did not speak from start to end.

  Qi Hai did not seem to mind and said to everyone, “Alright. Everybody continue to discuss as you all should. Don’t bother about us old people.”

  With him saying this, everyone did not know how to discuss though.

  But Wu Rong was unresigned and asked Qi Hai, “Old Hai, you made a trip to the Southern Domain. Did they really send out five peak Divine Traversing Realm experts?”

  Qi Hai nodded and said, “That’s right. Before returning this time, I took a tour around the Heavenly Sky Sect before and almost came to blows with one of the five.”

  “Then . . . And then what?”

  With this, nobody suspected the authenticity of this information anymore.

  “Hehe, later on, each of us was wary of the other, so this fight did not take place.”

  Qi Hai said it very apathetically, but the others had a different feeling when they heard it.

  Hearing Qi Hai said so, Ning Yixian could not sit still either and asked, “The other side’s peak Divine Traversing Realms actually had somebody who could threaten Old Hai?”

  Qi Hai’s strength, everyone present was very clear. Hence, the way these people saw it, Qi Hai was their greatest reliance.

  But now, a random peak Divine Traversing Realm that the other side sent out was actually on par with Old Hai. Could it be that the Fierce Gale World’s martial artists were really all formidable to such an extent?

  “Not so far as threatening me. But that person’s strength shouldn’t be much weaker than mine. Once the fight began, if we alarmed the others, it would probably not be that easy for me to want to get away,” Qi Hai said.

  The sect leaders present all exchanged glances. Immediately, they felt like the pressure was akin to Mt. Tai crushing down.

  Looks like the Fierce Gale World’s might greatly exceeded everyone’s imaginations!

  Qi Hai looked at everyone and said coolly, “You bunch of brats aren’t still holding onto thoughts of leaving it to chance right now, are you? If the Fierce Gale World wasn’t powerful to such an extent, how could such a powerful sect like the Grand Yan True Sect back then pay such a terrible price to seal the realm passageway? Just that battle, how were the sacrifices just the Grand Yan True Sect alone? After that battle, our Endless World’s vitality was greatly sapped, resulting in this current declining trend situation.”

  Hearing Qi Hai’s words, everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned towards Ye Yuan.

  Looks like what this youth said previously was not the slightest bit false!

  Ning Yixian trio did not think that the situation was already severe to such an extent already either and said, “Old Hai, you enjoy high prestige and command universal respect. This situation still needs you to manage!”

  Very clearly, there was nobody more suitable than Qi Hai to lead the group of heroes among the people present.

  Who knew that Qi Hai smiled and shook his head as he said, “I, this old man, am used to being lazy. How can I be the leader? Ning Yixian, you’re experienced and prudent and can take on this responsibility. However, this old man, I, will say the nasty things first. I normally don’t bother too much, but if anyone dares to trip people up at this sort of time, this old man, I, will be the first to exterminate him!”

  Qi Hai’s words did not seethe with killing intent, looking like having a heart-to-heart talk. But everyone felt a chill arise when they heard it.

  Then Ning Yixian said with difficulty, “Old Hai, I . . .”

  Qin Hongtao interrupted him and said, “Don’t decline at this sort of time. This burden, you have to shoulder it. Nobody is more suited than you. This old man, I, still have other things to do. Qin Hongtao and Jing Xuan, the both of you have to support Ning Yixian with all your strength. At this time, don’t have any ideas about sects. If the Endless World is gone, your Dao teachings will naturally be gone too.”

  The three people’s faces turned intent and acknowledged it in a solemn voice.

  Qi Hai nodded, but then he looked towards Ye Yuan and said, “Little Brother Ye, I wonder what thoughts you have regarding the present situation?”

  Hearing these words, everyone looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.

  Ning Yixian was the person that Qi Hai personally recommended to take charge of the overall situation. He did not ask Ning Yixian’s opinion, but he actually sought a junior’s opinion!

  Furthermore, those who were attentive noticed that Qi Hai actually addressed Ye Yuan as ‘Little Brother Ye.’ About this, there had to be some stories that they did not know.

  Could it be that Qi Hai already treated Ye Yuan as an equal to interact with?

  Ye Yuan was stunned too and said, “Old Hai, this . . . isn’t appropriate, right?”

  Ye Yuan actually came today just to plan on letting these people know the Fierce Gale World’s might and not to underestimate the enemy.

  As for how to come up with stratagems and give advice, he did not plan on talking out of place.

  So many Divine Traversing Realm experts present, how could it be his turn to interject?

  It was just that he did not expect Qi Hai would actually be the first to ask for his opinion.

  “Nothing inappropriate! They are completely clueless about the Fierce Gale World. Letting them talk is shooting blindly too. You go ahead and talk. I’ll see who dares to say a word!” Qi Hai said coolly.

  In truth, there really were quite a number of people who were rather displeased secretly and planned on finding fault when Ye Yuan was speaking in a while. Now that Qi Hai said that, these people immediately swallowed those words back into their stomach.

  Ye Yuan nodded his head. He was not a coy and shy person either. Since Qi Hai thought highly of him, he would not decline either.

  “Alright then. Since Old Hai thinks highly of Ye Yuan, then I’ll say a few more words. Whether you listen or not is all up to everybody,” Ye Yuan said.

  Ye Yuan stood up and said without caring about others, “In my opinion, the Fierce Gale World has several advantages which we have no way of competing with. Firstly, they all have a common faith, and that is the Wind Emperor. The Purple Mansion Sect is still loyal and devoted to the Wind Emperor after many generations. A lot can be deduced from this. Because of this point, they can achieve a unified rule. In comparison, we’re a pile of loose sand. Secondly, the Fierce Gale World martial artists’ collective combat strength is greater than ours. If engaging in close-quarters, we’ll surely suffer a huge deal. Thirdly, although the Southern Domain’s resources can’t compare to the Northern Domain, it’s much better than the Fierce Gale World’s. With these resources, the Fierce Gale World martial artists’ strength as a whole might even advance a level. Fourthly, the Fierce Gale World’s high tier combat strength is way stronger than ours. As far as I know, the Fierce Gale World’s peak Divine Traversing Realm experts are not just five people!”

  “What?! You mean that these five are just the vanguard?” Ning Yixian exclaimed in shock.

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, “The Fierce Gale World’s peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artists, according to what I know, have as many as seven people! Counting in some itinerant and some secluded old monsters, I reckon that it might not be below ten people! As for how many among these ten has Old Hai’s level of strength, I can’t confirm.”

  Following these people’s understanding of the Fierce Gale World becoming increasingly deeper, they noticed more and more that for the Endless World to want to de
feat the Fierce Gale World, the hope was simply too bleak.

  Ye Yuan was not simply shooting his words out. If Lan Feng was not very clear about the Fierce Gale World’s upper echelons, Xiao Ruyan was a true-blue capital nobility.

  The three commanders under Zhao Tianyin’s command were peak Divine Traversing Realm experts.

  Apart from this, a super faction like the Shangguan Family, their leader was peak Divine Traversing Realm too.

  Just within the Central Capital, there were as many as seven peak Divine Traversing Realms.

  To say that these five people were the vanguard was not over the top at all.

  “Heh, aren’t such words a bit much? How can so many experts be born in a place lacking in resources like the Fierce Gale World?” Wu Rong said disdainfully.

  Ye Yuan shot him an indifferent look and said, “The Fierce Gale World is indeed poor in resources, but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t resources. Comparatively speaking, to the Endless World’s resources decentralization, the Fierce Gale World’s resources are basically all gathered in the Central Capital. Plus, the Fierce Gale World resides in gale winds constantly. The martial artists can be said to be cultivating at all times. Their cultivation speed is naturally faster than our Endless World’s martial artists. What’s strange about giving birth to so many experts? Also, whether I say it or not is up to me. Whether to listen or not is up to you. If you don’t want to listen, you can close off your ears! The truth and false of what I said, Old Hai and Senior Ning they all will naturally screen through. When is it your turn to cut in?”

  This Wu Rong repeatedly caused trouble. Ye Yuan was disinclined to haggle over it with him. This fellow even went from bad to worse.

  These words were said without any consideration for face, directly turning Wu Rong’s face red.

  Ning Yixian frowned as well and said, “Old Man Wu, you’re an overlord of a region too. Why are you always making things difficult for Ye Yuan? Ignoring that Ye Yuan is the only one among us who understands the Fierce Gale World’s situation, just based on the contributions that he made for the Endless World, what’s the harm in us listening to his opinion?”

  Ning Yixian’s words were not severe. But talking this way to Wu Rong in front of so many big shots, it was actually already considered giving him a slap.

  Wu Rong was crimson red with rage. But due to Qi Hai being present, he could not blow up and just snorted coldly and said, “Heh, can’t even give opinions? Fine, fine, fine! I’ll just shut my mouth!”

  Qi Hai had his head lowered, looking straight down the entire time as if he paid no heed to both party’s dispute.

  At this time, seeing that Wu Rong finished speaking, Qi Hai asked again, “Ye Yuan, you carry on speaking.”

  A simple six words already completely stood on Ye Yuan’s side.

  The other sects’ big shots all kept their mouths shut sensibly. At this sort of time, regardless of what was to be said, it was clearly all not a wise move.

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Just as I said earlier, the things that we can bring out are seriously too little. Hence, if we want to turn the situation around, we must make drastic reforms! Otherwise, the Endless World being swallowed is just a matter of time.”

  “What kind of reforms?” Ning Yixian asked.

  Ye Yuan spoke confidently and with composure, “Actually, the things that we can do now are not much. But there are three things that we can still make it in time!”

  Ning Yixian’s eyes lit up, and she asked rather interestedly, “Oh? Quickly say, what three things?”

  Ye Yuan extended a finger and said, “The first thing is that the concept of being a sect must be stop, unifying all under one management, and concentrating all of the elite forces! Each fighting their own battles will only be broken easily! One must know that the Fierce Gale World martial artists are akin to the mortal world’s army with extremely daunting combat strength.”

  Ye Yuan extended a second finger and said, “The second thing is to raise our martial artists’ strength. Our Endless World’s greatest advantage is abundant resources. Furthermore, the standards of alchemy skills are more than a level higher than the Fierce Gale World’s. And these resources are grasped in the hands of the various great sects. Now, these resources have reached the time where it needs to be put to good use. Using them to raise the martial artists’ strength is a pressing issue! In addition, the various great sects still have to select elite disciples to gather together and develop them heavily. These people clearly have greater room for improvement. All in all, this point is to make use of all the resources that can be utilized rationally, to make our Endless World martial artists’ strength improve to the greatest extent.”

  Ye Yuan reached out a third finger and continued, “Thirdly, to concentrate all of the Northern Domain’s array masters. Although the present Endless World’s formations path standards are inferior to back at the Grand Yan True Sect’s time, our formations path standards are still much higher compared to the Fierce Gale World. In the war, with the support of array formations, it can unleash the martial artists’ strength to the greatest limit. This point, we have to utilize well!”

  Ye Yuan’s words poured out with ease and fluency. Qi Hai nodded slightly by the side. Clearly, he was very pleased with Ye Yuan’s three views.

  When Ning Yixian listened, his face also revealed an expression of suddenly seeing the light.

  However, the faces of these sects’ big shots were not that nice.

  Ye Yuan’s way of doing things was the same as they all forsaking all of their sect’s Dao teachings. This Northern Domain would only have one colossal sect in the future.

  These guys were all people who act in an arbitrary manner in their own sects. But in the future, they had to become other people’s subsidiaries.

  Such a change was unacceptable to them.

  “Old Hai, we absolutely cannot agree to this way of doing things! Our Sky Illumination Sect’s legacy already has several thousand years of history. Is it going to be wiped out like this?” shouted the Sky Illumination Sect’s old ancestor, immediately jumping out to object.

  “Yeah! Although our sect isn’t big, our legacy to this date is already close to ten thousand years of history. Surely it can’t be gone like this?”

  “Disagree!”

  “I disagree too!”

  For a moment, the objecting voices rose one after another.

  Wu Rong did not speak this time but kept on smiling coldly by the side.

  As the saying went: it was hard for the law to punish the collective. No matter how formidable Old Hai was, it was not possible to kill all of these Divine Traversing Realm experts, right?

  If they were really killed, who would deal with those experts from the Fierce Gale World?

  Among these Divine Traversing Realm experts present, the vast majority were major sects that had several thousand years of legacy, and also a number of new sects which rose up in recent years.

  Regardless of what kind of sect, they all did not hope for their Dao teachings to be lost in oblivion.

  Wu Rong was very delighted in his heart. He gave a few meaningful looks to several people just now. Those few immediately understood and came forward to object to Ye Yuan’s plans.

  Moreover, this kind of approach had indeed touched these people’s baseline. As long as there was somebody coming forward, it would immediately spread like a plague.

  Everybody stepped forward to object. Heh heh, I want to see how this plan of yours will be implemented! Wu Rong thought in his heart delightedly.

  Old Hai who had both eyes slightly closed the entire time suddenly spoke. He said it to Ye Yuan.

  “Little Brother Ye, looks like everybody objects to your plan. What do you think should be done?” Qi Hai asked nonchalantly.

  These words in Wu Rong’s perspective was Qi Hai choosing to compromise, hoping that Ye Yuan could take back the
words said earlier.

  Wu Rong was very pleased with himself inwardly. Look at you, this boy, being unbridled! Fighting with this old man, you’re still a little too inexperienced!

  Except that these words had another layer of meaning the way Ye Yuan heard it.

  Only to see Ye Yuan grin widely and said, “Severe punishments should be dealt in troubled times! Since there are people not willing to submit, just kill and be done with it!”

  “Hahaha!” Qi Hai suddenly guffawed with laughter and said, “What a fine ‘severe punishments should be dealt in troubled times!’”

  A moment ago, it was still cloudless for thousands of miles. The next instant, it was a torrential squall.

  After Qi Hai laughed loudly, the situation suddenly changed inside the main hall.

  A horrifying pressure enveloped everybody, and the center of this pressure was precisely Wu Rong!

  When Ye Yuan sensed this pressure, he unwittingly nodded his head secretly. Qi Hai was indeed well-deserving of being the Endless World’s Realmlord. This strength most likely already had half a foot into the threshold of Boundless Realm.

  He just had to wait for heavenly tribulation to arrive and then Qi Hai would be able to shatter the void and ascend to the Divine Realm.

  Except, this ascension heavenly tribulation was not so easy to cross. A moment of carelessness would be perishing, and one’s Dao dissipating.

  When Wu Rong felt this pressure, his expression could not help changing drastically.

  “Old Hai, what are you trying to do here!”

  Qi Hai did not explain a thing, gently lifting a hand and smacking it towards Wu Rong directly!

  Wu Rong gritted his teeth and said with a savage look, “Old Man Qi Hai, I’ll fight it out with you!”

  As he said this, Wu Rong attempted to retaliate too.

  Yet, it was all futile. In front of a Half-Step Boundless Realm expert, the Ninth Level Divine Traversing Wu Rong could not take a single hit as well.
