Chapter 83

Everyone fell silent!

Just one move, only one move!

Wen Shiyang, who had already made a name for himself among the disciples of this generation, was blasted away. His innate blade aura was crushed in an instant.

Compared to acquired true qi, innate true qi was fundamentally incomparable. Even with a thirty percent conversion, it already had sufficient density and toughness, but it was still far from being a match for Ye Xiwén.

With the assistance of Ye Xiwén's realm, he instantly crushed Wen Shiyang's blade aura. Everyone understood that if Ye Xiwén hadn't held back, Wen Shiyang would have been split in two instantly. Although the sect rules were relatively lenient, they weren't lenient enough to allow random killings in public. At least, Ye Xiwén didn't have the power to transcend the sect rules.

However, as long as no one died, no matter how much trouble the Shaoyang branch sect caused today, they could only swallow their bitter fruit. They had no right on their side, and their strength was inferior to others. If the news spread, no one would pity them; instead, people would say that the Shaoyang branch sect had truly hit a hard wall. In the end, they would only be seen as overestimating their own abilities.

It's over, really over!

Some disciples who thought more deeply whispered that this time the Shaoyang branch sect had completely failed. They wouldn't even need to participate in the subsequent sect evaluations; they would certainly be completely defeated.

This entrance evaluation of the main sect was not just a simple evaluation. In fact, it directly related to the future development of each branch sect. The main sect allocated resources to each branch based on the performance of these people.

In the eyes of the main sect, the branch sects were merely places to cultivate elite disciples for the main sect. The more powerful the disciples provided, the more rewards and resources the main sect would grant in the following year.

This was also why each branch sect spared no effort in cultivating these geniuses.

Without any innate experts, the Shaoyang branch sect could only become a target for others to trample. They would be defeated before the battle even began. It was easy to imagine that the Shaoyang branch sect would be at the bottom this year, directly affecting the resource allocation for the next year.

When the Shaoyang branch sect went to the Qingfeng Mountain branch sect to cause trouble, they might have also considered this aspect.

This confrontation between the two directly determined the outcome of the competition between the two branch sects. The Qingfeng Mountain branch sect would gain a reputation as a hard wall, while the Shaoyang branch sect would become a soft target.

"This time, he will become famous!" a disciple watching from the sidelines muttered.

——

Like a large stone thrown into a calm lake, it instantly caused ripples.

The news of Ye Xiwén defeating the Shaoyang branch sect's Wen Shiyang spread throughout over a hundred branch sects in just half a day.

Originally, among the thousands of disciples, Wen Shiyang was not the strongest; he was only somewhat well-known. Even if he had been defeated, it shouldn't have caused such a significant reaction. However, someone had spread the news that Ye Xiwén had unleashed a blade intent with a single strike, making him the focus of countless people's attention.

In the courtyard of the Qingfeng Mountain branch sect, Ye Feng was moving his body. As an innate expert, his recovery was very strong. With the various pills given by Ye Xiwén, he could now move without much difficulty. He believed that he would be fully recovered before the evaluation.

Beside him, Ye Xiwén and Ye Ruxue stood quietly, along with Zhang Yang, Wu Hao, and Qian Wanru. The top disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain branch sect had all gathered.

"Everyone outside is now spreading the fame of Brother Ye. With a single strike, he unleashed a blade intent. Many people will probably lose sleep, and they won't dare to underestimate our Qingfeng Mountain branch sect anymore!" Qian Wanru said excitedly. The Qingfeng Mountain region was a remote area in the entire Dàyue Kingdom, and the Qingfeng Mountain branch sect, established there, was always looked down upon.

"Yes, it seems that some people are restless and want to stir up trouble!" Ye Feng sighed. The news spread so quickly and widely, clearly not by itself. There were definitely people behind the scenes stirring things up.

"Someone wants to muddy the waters!" Zhang Yang said with a frown. "They want to make our Qingfeng Mountain branch sect the target of everyone's attacks, using others to destroy us!"

"It's not impossible. Throughout history, we have made many alliances with branch sects, but we also have many enemies. This matter is strange from all angles!" Ye Feng said.

"Whether it was spread naturally or someone is stirring things up, if we want to stand out in this evaluation, we will have to face these challenges!" Ye Xiwén said. "It's simple; no matter what, we will crush them all!"

Ye Xiwén's words exuded confidence. No matter what schemes or tricks, they were nothing in the face of overwhelming strength and would be easily destroyed.

"Ha ha ha, right, Brother Ye is right. No matter what schemes, we will crush them all!" Ye Feng laughed heartily.

"Since someone wants to see our moves, we will show them enough. Our Qingfeng Mountain branch sect is no worse than anyone else!" Ye Xiwén said with a cold smile.

"Right, well said!" Ye Feng nodded and then said to Ye Ruxue, "Now I'm fine and can take care of myself. You don't need to worry about me. These few days, you should focus on breaking through to the innate realm. When that happens, we will have one more helper!"

Ye Ruxue looked at Ye Feng and then nodded, saying, "Okay!"

She also knew that if she didn't break through to the innate realm, she wouldn't be much help. She had the innate pill left by Ye Xiwén, making it much easier for her to break through to the innate realm. Without the innate pill, even in the environment of the main sect, breaking through to the innate realm would still require a lot of effort.

Wu Hao and Qian Wanru looked at Ye Ruxue with some envy. Unfortunately, they didn't have the innate pill. Although they could break through quickly after entering the main sect, it wasn't the same.

Suddenly, a disciple of the Qingfeng Mountain branch sect rushed in and said, "Bad news, someone has come to challenge Brother Ye!"

"Sure enough, they came!" Ye Feng said.

"So soon!" Zhang Yang frowned.

"Let's go and see!" Ye Xiwén said.

Ye Xiwén and the others left the courtyard and saw a young man in a white robe coldly staring at Ye Xiwén. The young man was tall and muscular, with a faint aura of true qi in his eyes.

He exuded a cold and icy aura, like a person just pulled out of an ice river. Just one glance felt like being frozen.
