Repercussions

The renowned Zhang Yuntian was actually sent flying by Ye Xiwen's single saber strike. This outcome was utterly shocking, especially to the Zhang family disciples. They simply couldn't believe that Zhang Yuntian, whom they revered like a god, couldn't even withstand Ye Xiwen's attack.

"Big Brother!" Zhang Yunfei was the first to react and rushed over.

Ye Xiwen coldly looked at Zhang Yunfei and said, "He's not dead. Hurry up and take him away. Our Yi Yuan Sect is not a place where people from the Zhang family can act presumptuously. If you dare to provoke us again next time, it won't be resolved this easily!"

"Get lost!"

"Why aren't you rolling away? Do you want to die, you Zhang family brats!"

"If you don't leave, we won't be polite!"

The disciples of the Yi Yuan Sect jeered. The Yi Yuan Sect and the Zhang family had been rivals for more than just a year or two. The disciples of both sides disliked each other, but their strengths were often similar, so neither side conceded to the other. This time, Zhang Yunfei came to the Yi Yuan Sect to provoke their sect's experts, specifically to slap their faces. After being sent flying by Ye Xiwen's saber, his elder brother also came, but he was no match for Ye Xiwen either.

Everyone could see that if Ye Xiwen hadn't shown mercy, Zhang Yuntian would have been split in half long ago.

The news that Ye Xiwen's great battle with Zhang Yuntian concluded with Zhang Yuntian's complete defeat quickly spread throughout the entire Yi Yuan Sect. Many people found it hard to believe. Everyone in the Yi Yuan Sect knew who Ye Xiwen was now. He was the champion of the Sect Internal Competition and could dominate among the Inner Disciples. However, to the Core Disciples, he was just a newcomer.

Defeating Zhang Yunfei was one thing. Zhang Yunfei was merely the champion of the Zhang family's clan competition this year. Although the difference in strength seemed significant, as he was sent flying by Ye Xiwen's saber, who was Zhang Yuntian? Even among the Zhang family's Core Disciples, he was considered a top-five expert with a far-reaching reputation. How could such an expert be completely defeated by Ye Xiwen?

However, as the news spread through the mouths of many disciples who witnessed the event, and the information was confirmed by multiple parties, everyone had to admit that Zhang Yuntian had been completely defeated by Ye Xiwen.

It was only then that Ye Xiwen truly rose to fame within the Yi Yuan Sect. Although Ye Xiwen was the champion of the Sect Internal Competition before, as he advanced to become a Core Disciple and went out for tempering, the buzz gradually subsided. The championship of the Sect Internal Competition was indeed an honorable halo for Inner and Outer Disciples, but it didn't seem particularly outstanding among Core Disciples. After all, Core Disciples were the cream of the crop from the Inner Disciples of previous years, and there were many champions among them.

But after Ye Xiwen completely defeated Zhang Yuntian, he truly became famous, renowned throughout the Yi Yuan Sect, and could truly be compared to the super geniuses among the Core Disciples.

In the Sect Leader Hall deep within the Yi Yuan Sect, Ye Kongming sat in the lower seat, frowning slightly. To his upper hand sat a middle-aged man in purple robes, his aura contained, appearing like an ordinary middle-aged man.

But everyone in the Yi Yuan Sect knew that this was the Sect Leader of the Yi Yuan Sect, Lin Zhantian, who held absolute power within the Yi Yuan Sect, whose word was law, and who possessed the power of life and death.

"Kongming, I didn't expect Xiwen to be so outstanding. When I saw him two years ago, he was quite ordinary. I didn't expect him to change so much!" Lin Zhantian sighed. "With his current strength, he is enough to rank among the top tier of the Core Disciples in the sect!"

"This is not surprising, after all, he is that person's child. Once he opened up, it's not strange at all!" Ye Kongming, on the other hand, looked calm, as if he had expected this scene long ago.

Upon mentioning that person, Lin Zhantian said no more. After a pause, he continued, "I have already broken through and will be returning to the Main Sect soon. As for Green Peak Mountain, I hope you will be the Sect Leader. I will recommend you to the sect!"

"You know I'm not interested!" Ye Kongming said indifferently.

"I know you're not interested, but this is still where we grew up. I'm not at ease leaving it to others!" Lin Zhantian said.

"Can I refuse?" Ye Kongming's tone remained indifferent.

"No!" Lin Zhantian said.

The two spoke as if talking to the air, conversing with themselves.

"Alright, you kid, I didn't expect you to beat Zhang Yuntian into such a mess, hahaha, he probably won't have the face to see anyone anymore!" Ye Ruxue laughed heartily.

"It's alright!" Ye Xiwen said calmly.

"I'm back!" Ye Feng's hearty laughter came from outside the door. "Little Brother, I've heard about what happened with you, haha, that Zhang Yuntian was beaten by you without any power to fight back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng, dressed in a fitted outfit, strode in. He had just returned from a trial in the back mountains of Green Peak Mountain.

"This is so satisfying!" Ye Feng laughed heartily.

"What, Big Brother, do you have a grudge against Zhang Yuntian?" Ye Xiwen asked.

Ye Feng sneered, "Of course. I fought him once in the back mountains of Green Peak Mountain before. At that time, I had just been promoted to a Core Disciple. I had just found a precious medicinal herb when that scoundrel sneak attacked me, nearly killing me with his hidden weapons!"

As he spoke, Ye Feng's aura involuntarily released. He had already reached the Houtian Ninth Stage Peak, just one step away from entering the Xiantian realm.

Ye Feng had been at the Houtian Eighth Stage Peak for several years, all for this Core Disciple Competition. After that, he would head to the Yi Yuan Sect's Main Sect. The cultivation he had accumulated over the years was suddenly released, allowing Ye Feng to break through to the Houtian Ninth Stage Peak in a short period. This approach was to consolidate his cultivation, lay an incredibly solid foundation, and then prepare for advancement to the Xiantian realm.

Ye Feng's aura was thick and powerful, far stronger than that of ordinary Houtian Ninth Stage Peak experts.

"I originally wanted to find some scoundrel to cause trouble for during this Core Disciple Competition, but Little Brother, you avenged me, saving me a lot of trouble!" Ye Feng didn't take Zhang Yuntian seriously at all; his strength was far superior to Zhang Yuntian's.

"Tsk tsk, Big Brother, you should have seen how arrogant that kid was and how miserably he was taught a lesson by Little Brother!" Ye Ruxue said with a smile.

"Don't just talk about Little Brother, you yourself should cultivate more. You've been caught up by Little Brother, so hurry up and cultivate to the Houtian Ninth Stage and join the Main Sect!" Ye Feng said sternly.

"Got it!" Ye Ruxue had a more carefree personality, so only Ye Feng's words carried some weight.

However, Ye Ruxue's mind was never entirely focused on cultivation, so it was unclear how much she had taken to heart.
