"Close the doors, see the guests out." Ye Wudi knew the situation was beyond saving. The feud between them was set, so he could only meet the challenge head-on.

"Big brother, you'll have to answer for what happened today. Everyone here knows that although the City Lord is like a sworn brother to you, in this world, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends. Especially since he's now climbed up the Azure Cloud Sword Sect's tree, you can just wait to face the consequences."

Ye Wushuang, as the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, had been unable to find a good opportunity to impeach him. Today, he finally found one. He just needed to stir up emotions, and half the battle would be won.

"That's right, Sect Master, you're being too inconsiderate. Aren't you thinking about the sect? Letting this kid run wild."

"It seems our suggestion was right. Ye Fan is the best choice for the new Young Sect Master. But don't worry, we'll see how it all shakes out in a month."

After some instigation and preparation, Ye Wushuang had already stirred up everyone's emotions, leaving Ye Yang and his father looking embarrassed.

"What? You all think I can't win in a month? If anyone doesn't believe it, feel free to try me now."

Ye Yang was very clear, and understood that with these people, he had to strike while the iron was hot, not giving them any chance to breathe. They were like grass swaying in the wind.

His voice was like a booming bell, his presence extraordinary. He surveyed the entire scene with lingering power, and not a single young disciple dared to step forward and try him, solidifying his position.

"Senior brother, don't be so arrogant. Let me have a go at you."

At this moment, Ye Fan finally couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move himself!

"Fan'er, enough. Don't fall for it. There's plenty of time. Why bother with temporary gains and losses? Someone will come to deal with him."

"Father, what do you mean? Are we afraid of him? We're not afraid of him. We have to take him down."

"Don't you understand? We already have the right timing, location, and popular support. They're just temporarily holding onto that position. When you win the Sect Tournament in a month, the entire sect will belong to us, father and son."

He was just about to make a move, but Ye Wushuang stopped him. After some patient explanation in secret, he finally understood and stopped being impulsive.

"What? Don't dare to? Weren't you very arrogant just now? What a coward." Ye Yang knew that their current situation was caused by the father and son duo behind the scenes, but he just hadn't found any evidence yet.

"Senior brother, there will be plenty of time in the future. I won't bother with you today. Just wait to be retaliated against."

"That's right, big brother, you should restrain your child and not let him run wild. When the Azure Cloud Sword Sect sends someone over to demand him, we won't be in the right."

Everyone echoed, directly ostracizing the two of them. One could imagine that after so many years of painstaking management by the Grand Elder of Law Enforcement, Ye Wushuang, he had almost hollowed out the entire sect and turned it into their private property.

"Big brother, that's all for today. I hope you behave yourselves." Before leaving, he took a deep look at Ye Yang and his father, then led everyone away.

A quarter of an hour later.

After everyone had left, Ye Yang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The pressure just now was too great. He had no choice but to make that choice, because he had to appear overly strong in order to make them wary and have some concerns, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Although he had reopened his eight meridians and could cultivate again, he still needed time. A month should be enough for him to completely crush the younger generation of prodigies and become a new legend.

"Yang'er, why did you do that? This way, we've completely offended the City Lord's Mansion, and with the forces behind them, it'll be troublesome." Ye Wudi didn't take these things to heart, but he felt sorry for his child.

Saying he wasn't worried would be a lie. Qin Hao was the top of the Prodigy Ranking, and everyone knew what kind of person the Young Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect was.

Flirting with women and causing trouble was just his standard, and fighting was his normal state. Someone must be playing tricks, instigating things in the dark!

"Yang'er, let me take a look at you." A woman walked over, looked him up and down, her eyes full of concern.

"Father, Mother, don't worry. I have my own plans. Aren't they just worried that someone will come knocking? One word from me, and I'll take care of it. But before that, I need to go into seclusion for seven days. No one is to disturb me."

Ye Yang cultivated the Primordial Chaos Creation Art, had the Primordial Chaos Pagoda Dantian, and had awakened the Supreme Body. His foundation was good, and breaking through realms was not a bottleneck for him.

What he needed now was cultivation techniques and massive resources. As long as he had these things, breaking through would be a matter of minutes for him.

But he needed to lay a good foundation, just like building a skyscraper. Only by laying a good foundation could he build a tall building.

"Alright, no problem. Leave this to me. I'll personally protect you. No one can get close within seven days. Here, this is my treasure that I've been collecting for many years. Take it out. What else do you need? Just ask." As the Sect Master, Ye Wudi rarely showed such a concerned expression.

Looking at the young man in front of him, he seemed to see his past self. He knew that he had swept through the entire Central Province undefeated with his sword, winning 108 consecutive battles, earning the title of Ye Wudi.

"Yang'er, here's mine too. Take it. Ask if you need anything."

When the family is of one mind, they can break gold. At this time, he just wanted to find a chance to go into seclusion and improve his realm as much as possible to prepare for the upcoming crisis.

"Father, Mother, don't worry. I'll start my seclusion now. Don't let anyone disturb me."

"Yang'er, don't worry. We believe in you. We believe that the moment you come out, you'll shock the world." Ye Wudi took him to a secluded place and pressed a switch. With a click, a hidden chamber appeared before everyone.

"Alright, this is the secret chamber that I specially prepared for breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm. You can use it with confidence. No one below the Martial Emperor realm can destroy it. Don't worry about your safety."

Ye Wudi understood that seven days was neither long nor short. Maybe someone would come knocking on his door before seven days were up, causing him trouble.

"Don't worry, I'll meet the challenge head-on. Believe in me as you believe in yourselves." Ye Yang hugged them both, then turned around with a firm expression, pressed the button, and began his seven-day seclusion.

"Click!"

As the ten-thousand-pound boulder fell, the entire secret chamber was completely closed, entering a state of silence. Unless the person inside broke through, it could not be reopened.

"Yang'er, the future belongs to you. Good luck." Ye Wudi and his wife didn't waste any words. They found a place to meditate and became his personal protectors.

"What? That kid is actually going into seclusion for seven days? Are you sure you heard that right?"

"Are you kidding me? How could this be wrong? I heard it with my own ears. I was nearby."

"Oh, it seems this news is somewhat credible. Don't be nervous. Who knows if he can even wait seven days before someone comes to make trouble for him."

In order to maintain control over the entire sect, he had secretly controlled everything and even placed his own informants next to Sect Master, his big brother.

As soon as they stepped into the secret chamber, the news reached Ye Wushuang's ears.

"Alright, continue to do your sentry work for me. Take this, it's for you!"

With a heavy reward, there's bound to be a brave man. He naturally understood this principle at this moment, being generous and decisive. It was precisely through this method, under his sugar-coated bullets, that he had directly poached nearly half of the Ten Great Elders.

"Big Brother, I've said what I needed to say. I just don't know if you can create a miracle within a month. That's not certain."

Ye Wushuang raised his head, looking at the full moon in the night sky, not knowing what he was thinking, because he knew that once this path had begun, it could never be stopped.

"Primordial Chaos Creation, undying and indestructible, devouring all things, transforming them for my own use."

In a secret room, a young man was cultivating in seclusion. The Primordial Chaos Creation Art was automatically operating, his entire body having become a bottomless black hole. At this moment, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was attracted to him in a violently surging state.

A massive amount of resources was invisibly drawn in by him, turning into streams of pure spiritual energy, entering his Dantian, and being absorbed by the Primordial Chaos Pagoda, which in turn nourished him.

Day one…

"Martial Warrior, First Heaven!" "Martial Warrior, Second Heaven!" "Martial Warrior, Third Heaven…"

It wasn't until the resources in one of the spatial rings were completely exhausted that his cultivation stopped at the peak of the Martial Warrior Ninth Heaven.

"Again."

Everything continued as before. By the seventh day, his entire body was like a hidden dragon in the abyss, unfathomable.

"Sect Master, something bad has happened! Someone has sent a challenge letter!" Just as the seven days had passed, someone had timed it perfectly to deliver a challenge letter!

"Finally here, it seems some people can't wait any longer." Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
