Chapter 634: Confrontation, Ye Feng Demands Power
Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Ye Gao Fei sat with a dark expression, flanked by the senior members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
After sweeping his gaze over everyone, Ye Gao Fei coldly asked, “Have you found any leads regarding Qingyang Sect?”
In response, a senior elder spoke up, “Qingyang Sect within a radius of five thousand li has been completely wiped out, and the only survivor is the young sect master Jiang Yongnian.”
“There are no clues at all regarding the Enlightenment Tree.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Gao Fei furrowed his brow and replied, “Xu Hu and Bai Ze took action personally; they wouldn’t have acted just to wipe out a single Qingyang Sect.”
“By annihilating all living beings in a radius of five thousand li, they must be covering something up.”
“Make sure to question Jiang Yongnian thoroughly; the matter of the Enlightenment Tree may not have ended.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng, who had been silent until now, spoke up, “Elder, I believe we shouldn’t rush this matter.”
“Do you have an idea?”
Seeing this, Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, “The destruction of Qingyang Sect has made Jiang Yongnian and the others timid.”
“If we continue to press them about the Enlightenment Tree, we might drive them away.”
“I think that if we want to win over these prodigies, using our wits is the better strategy.”
In response to Ye Feng’s suggestion, Ye Gao Fei said, “The Xuanwu Sect is one of the four major holy sects; we might not be able to contend with them.”
“That’s where you are wrong, Elder.”
“Prodigies are always proud; if they were willing to cling to the powerful, they wouldn’t fight so hard in the arena.”
“Xuanwu Sect is indeed powerful, but that also means they cannot gain too much influence by joining Xuanwu Sect.”
“As the saying goes, it’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. By joining the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they can gain more freedom, which is exactly what they desire.”
“Moreover, even if they mistakenly join Xuanwu Sect, they can still build some connections.”
After listening, Ye Gao Fei stared at Ye Feng for a while.
“Do you like Xu Yao?”
“Yes.”
“If we go by your idea, this process is too…”
“Elder, let me handle these small matters; if I can’t even manage this, what reason do I have to take over the future of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?”
Ye Feng directly interrupted Ye Gao Fei’s words.
It was clear that as the heir, Ye Feng was demanding power from the sect.
Seeing this, Ye Gao Fei took a deep breath and said, “Since you want to do it, then go ahead.”
“You can handle these prodigies with full authority; the central region will soon hold the Realm Lord Conference, take them to experience it.”
“Understood!”
……
Mansion.
“Sir, hasn’t the fight started outside yet?”
When Chen Changsheng returned, Xu Yao immediately stepped forward to inquire.
In response, Chen Changsheng said, “Not yet; both sides are still preparing.”
“After all, this is a war between two worlds, so even arranging troops takes some time.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao pouted.
“Sir, when can I see my dad again? This is the first time I’ve remembered meeting him.”
Facing Xu Yao’s little mood, Chen Changsheng smiled and patted her head, saying, “Don’t worry, I will definitely let you two reunite.”
“Also, you all should prepare; the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will likely send someone over soon.”
“When it’s time to receive rewards, don’t forget what I told you before.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, everyone immediately stopped training and prepared to welcome the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

However, the person sent by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was somewhat unexpected.
Because the visitors were Ye Feng and two senior members from the Xuanwu Sect.
“Why are you here?”
In response to Xu Yao’s confusion, Ye Feng smiled and said, “We’re all prodigies; there’s no need for formalities.”
“You are the only victor from the selection conference, so according to the rules, you can select a treasure from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s treasury.”
“This is the treasure list; do you need to take a look?”
Hearing this, Xu Yao didn’t take the booklet Ye Feng handed over. Instead, she directly said, “I want the Drum Hammer of the Barrel!”
As soon as she said this, both Ye Feng and Si Ma Lan looked slightly surprised.
“What do you need that for?”
“I heard that the Drum Hammer of the Barrel is made from the bones of the high-level beings from the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”
“The Eight Desolates Nine Domains destroyed my sect, and I wish I could skin them alive and tear their bones. Therefore, I want the Drum Hammer of the Barrel.”
As she spoke, Xu Yao’s eyes slightly reddened.
Upon receiving this answer, Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, “The Drum Hammer of the Barrel has more symbolic significance than practicality; technically, it shouldn’t be awarded to you.”
“But since you’ve asked for it, I’ll give it to you.”
“But let me remind you, you can only use the Drum Hammer of the Barrel; the sect will reclaim it if necessary.”
“Not a problem.”
“Well then, that’s good. Someone will bring the items over shortly.”
“In a while, the central region will hold the Realm Lord Conference; would you like to have some fun?”
Hearing this, Xu Yao smiled and said, “The Xuanwu Sect is well-established; we can’t climb that high.”
“Moreover, the Qingyang Sect is just a subordinate sect of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect; Brother Ye, you’re always so polite, it makes me feel a bit embarrassed.”
“Hahaha!”
“Formalities are necessary after all, especially since you haven’t officially joined the sect yet.”
“Since you all agree, I’ll take my leave to prepare; after all, there are a lot of people coming with me this time.”
“As for Bai Zhongkong and Miss Si Ma, you can stay here for now.”
“Perhaps this place is the only one that will interest you.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Feng left the mansion.
Once Ye Feng had left, Si Ma Lan approached Jian Fei first.
“Little brother, have you missed your sister these past few days?”
Hearing Si Ma Lan’s words, Jian Fei suddenly shivered.
“Senior, you’re not that much older than me; calling me that makes me uncomfortable.”
In response, Si Ma Lan smiled even more happily.
“I just love this shy look from little brothers. Since I’ve been so proactive, what else do you want me to do?”
“Of course, if you can defeat me, I might consider calling you ‘little brother’ instead.”
Just as Jian Fei was pondering how to shake off Si Ma Lan’s entanglement, Ma Ling’er spoke up from the side.
“Miss Lan, since you’ve just arrived, why don’t I take you around for a tour?”
Hearing this, Si Ma Lan turned to look at Ma Ling’er.
After exchanging glances for a moment, Si Ma Lan smiled and said, “Sure!”
Once the two women had left, everyone’s gaze fell on Bai Zhongkong.
Seeing this, Bai Zhongkong hesitated for a moment and said, “How about… we have a drink?”
“Sure!”
Everyone agreed in unison, as the earlier situation had been quite awkward.
