However, Ye Feng was also a leader, commanding the Dragon Country war zone, a supreme War God.

If this happened within the war zone, Ye Feng certainly wouldn’t casually kill his subordinates. After all, they were his people, and Ma Jinlong and Ma Yunpeng were both protectors and elders, holding significant positions.

Nie Changfeng glared angrily at Ma Jinlong and Ma Yunpeng: "Why haven’t you rolled away yet? Still here making a fool of yourselves?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Though Ma Jinlong and Ma Yunpeng felt deeply displeased, they only dared to nod repeatedly.

In no time, Ma Jinlong and Ma Yunpeng disappeared from the Martial Arts Square of the Outer Court.

Nie Changfeng said indifferently: "Everyone, keep on cultivating. Let the incident with the Fourth Elder today serve as a warning; do not violate Daoist School rules. Otherwise, even if you are elders, I will absolutely show no mercy!"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded, and then Nie Changfeng left with the three elders.

The disciples of the Outer Court present were filled with awe, looking at Ye Feng with admiration in their eyes and heartfelt amazement.

They hadn’t imagined Ye Feng would be so powerful, not only killing Ma Hong but nearly eliminating the Fourth Elder and Ma Jinlong as well. Moreover, Ye Feng faced no punishment while the Fourth Elder and Ma Jinlong were severely punished.

Ye Feng returned to the No.1 Spirit Gathering Array to continue cultivating. Even though today he witnessed Nie Changfeng’s methods, merely the tip of the iceberg, Ye Feng clearly realized the gap between himself and Nie Changfeng.

If Ye Feng were to have a direct battle with Nie Changfeng, even using all his skills and trump cards, the outcome would lead only to a dead end. Not just with Nie Changfeng, but facing the First Elder and Second Elder would be no exception—only death. Therefore, Ye Feng knew he must break through quickly.

Currently, Ye Feng’s combat strength isn’t weak on the Spirit Martial Continent among the Five Continents, but he knows he needs to reach at least the Entering Dao Realm to truly stand firm.

Thus, Ye Feng must rapidly advance his cultivation. Moreover, he knows Ma Jinlong and Ma Yunpeng wouldn’t let the matter rest, and given Ye Feng’s current cultivation level, both still pose a threat to him.

After all, Guardian Liu Huayuan cannot be by his side constantly. It’s simply unrealistic.

Hence, Ye Feng knows strengthening his own power is fundamental. Returning to the Spirit Gathering Array, he opened Ma Hong’s Storage Ring, discovering an astonishing number of Daoist Crystals—100,000—and unhesitatingly took them.

Now Ye Feng has a total of 550,000 Daoist Crystals. Stabilizing and consolidating his foundation means Ye Feng only needs another 450,000 Crystals to cultivate successfully to the initial Entering Dao Realm.

Ye Feng has long prepared internally; once his cultivation stabilizes, he’ll leave Daoist School to adventure and earn Daoist Crystals to break through to the initial Entering Dao Realm...

Time swiftly passed, and three months were gone, with Ye Feng’s cultivation successfully stabilized.

At this time, Ye Feng only needs one million Daoist Crystals to easily break through to the Entering Dao Realm.

Meaning, Ye Feng is short 450,000 Crystals, an easy task for Ye Feng, who possesses various Dao Artifacts and Holy Artifacts. Just casually selling a low-grade Holy Artifact fetches dozens of thousands.

Ye Feng only needs to leave Daoist School, go to the Spirit Martial Continent’s trade association, and sell his Holy Artifacts.

Not only Ye Feng progressed over these three months; Qingshan, Zimo, and Zhang Meng also made breakthroughs.

Qingshan reached the level of Mixed Element True God successfully. Zimo reached the pinnacle of True God, and Zhang Meng became an Infinite True God powerhouse. All three diligently consolidated their cultivation, stabilizing their foundations.

Ye Feng didn’t interrupt them, allowing them each to continue cultivating, then left the No.1 Spirit Gathering Array.

"Ye Feng junior brother, you’re finally out!" At that moment, a voice echoed on the Martial Arts Square.

Just then, a simple-looking young man hurried towards Ye Feng with a friendly smile. Ye Feng assessed the young man, dressed in plain green cloth, nearly two meters tall, with a sturdy build, giving an impression of reliability. Ye Feng curiously asked the robust youth, "Who are you?"

The simple young man smiled slightly and clasped fists towards Ye Feng: "Ye Feng junior brother, hello, I’m Wang Can, a disciple ranked fifth in the Inner Sect!" Upon hearing the name Wang Can, those nearby showed expressions of shock: "It’s brother Wang Can!"

Among the Outer Sect, the top ten disciples were Dao Sect-level geniuses, and in the Inner Sect, the top ten were also Dao Sect-level geniuses. Wang Can was one such Dao Sect genius, possessing mid-stage Entering Dao cultivation, thus familiar to everyone.

Ye Feng nodded towards Wang Can: "So it’s brother Wang Can. I wonder what brings you to me?"

Wang Can smiled slightly: "Ye Feng junior brother, it’s like this: recently in Middle Xuan Continent, Qinglin City hosts a talent exchange meeting. Disciples from Daoist School, Holy Fire Sect, and Blue Moon Sect will all participate. This exchange is initiated by Blue Moon Sect’s chief disciple, Miss Yue Qing. Our three super forces can send twenty people each.

Originally, participants were supposed to be Inner Court disciples, with at least mid-stage Entering Dao cultivation, but the First Elder secured a spot for you. You’re a Daoist Lord genius, not inferior in strength to the mid-stage Entering Dao, so you got a spot. This time, the head disciple leads the group who already departed. I’m here waiting to take you to Qinglin City for the exchange."

"Oh? Initiated by Blue Moon Sect?" Ye Feng’s eyes showed interest as Wang Can nodded: "Indeed, Ye Feng junior brother, are you going? If not, I’ll inform the First Elder to replace you. Daoist School won’t force you."

Ye Feng straightforwardly responded: "Yes, I’ll go!" Knowing Han Yi is now at Blue Moon Sect, the exchange might provide a chance to meet Han Yi...
