Lan Zhiru's steps, only slightly moving towards Wang Ye, did not continue forward.

Wang Ye's previous remark was too abnormal.

It definitely wasn't Wang Ye's true thoughts.

Or, Wang Ye surely has other plans coming next.

As for Wang Ye and Dao Cheng, Dao Cheng stared at Wang Ye, their eyes meeting in a gaze.

Dao Cheng felt somewhat excited inside.

Was Wang Ye's proposal good?

It was really good!

But it always gave him a sense of unreality.

He felt that Wang Ye definitely had some sort of scheme.

From Wang Ye's performance some time ago, Wang Ye clearly could not be a reckless brute.

However...

With over a hundred Cold Sect disciples coming together, they inherently had no justification; whatever issues Wang Ye raises next, they would have no choice but to agree even if they felt uncomfortable.

Wang Ye spoke softly:

"I agree to the challenge from your Cold Sect disciples! However, there being over a hundred of them is inappropriate! If I were to face them in succession, I would be exhausted to death. Dao Cheng, brother, do you find this reasonable?"

"Yes."

Dao Cheng nodded slightly.

But he felt some doubt inside.

What does Wang Ye intend to do next with this suggestion?

Wang Ye's face always carried a faint smile, a carefree smile; yet, this smile made Dao Cheng feel no sense of relaxation. On the contrary, due to Wang Ye's smile, it made Dao Cheng feel an unusual pressure more strongly.

It was very strange.

Clearly, Wang Ye's strength was not very powerful, but when he faced Wang Ye, he could sense an inexplicable pressure from Wang Ye.

"Therefore, I plan to set up an arena at the entrance of the Ice Sect."

"Your Cold Sect disciples, being so numerous here, must belong to different master sects, right?"

Wang Ye's eyes scanned Dao Cheng, then shifted to those Cold Sect disciples behind him.

"Right, within the Cold Sect, there are many elders, so these Cold Sect disciples, representing various master sects, all came forward, each sect holding a distinct opinion."

After speaking, Dao Cheng hesitantly touched his forehead.

There was no sweat.

But Dao Cheng subconsciously believed there was much sweat flowing from his forehead.

He couldn't possibly say that the Cold Sect's disciples belonged to different elders, competing amongst themselves with the ultimate goal of eliminating Wang Ye.

"Indeed."

Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

But Wang Ye's narrowed eyes made Dao Cheng's entire person freeze.

He saw through it!

Wang Ye had already discovered his intentions.

Yet Wang Ye said nothing, his smile seemed as if he hadn't noticed anything: "If I let you choose a few people to compete against me, none of you would likely be willing to do so, correct?"

Dao Cheng remained silent this time.

Every word Wang Ye said, each glance, hinted at one thing.

That Wang Ye had already seen the truth.

And those gazes made him increasingly uneasy.

The longer he interacted with Wang Ye, the longer he faced him, the greater the pressure became.

They truly couldn't choose!

Ridiculous!

To eliminate Wang Ye meant a significant achievement.

In such circumstances, who would be willing to let this easily attainable achievement go to others?

"So, you must fight in the arena instead."

"Huh?"

Dao Cheng was a bit confused.

"Don't understand? Our Ice Sect sets up the arena here. Your Cold Sect disciples fight in this arena, and eventually select one person to challenge me. Isn't that viable?"

"In this way, Cold Sect's strongest will be selected. Of course, Mid-Stage Fifth Rank cultivators and below! I have already allowed your strength to be a level higher!"

Wang Ye's voice was assertive: "Each time the arena is used, your Cold Sect disciples must pay a fee to our Ice Sect."

"After all, this is our Ice Sect's arena! You must pay a usage fee for the arena, and once the fighting ends, that person can challenge me."

Upon finishing, Wang Ye squinted his eyes.

Dao Cheng instantly felt as if Wang Ye's narrowed eyes were a sharp silver needle, piercing his pupils, generating a massive oppressive feeling; Wang Ye's voice continued in his ears:

"Dao Cheng, brother, how is it?"

"Can you make decisions for your Cold Sect members?"

Gulp.

A swallow of water went down his throat.

"I'll go and discuss with them!"

After speaking, before Wang Ye could react, Dao Cheng directly headed towards the Cold Sect disciples.

Parting from Wang Ye for a while, Dao Cheng took deep breaths, this time, for real, sweat dribbled down his forehead.

The oppressive feeling Wang Ye brought was too strong and intense.

Obviously, Wang Ye's level was lower than his, but when next to Wang Ye, he could only sense the pressure emanating from Wang Ye, nothing else.

Even his thoughts were somewhat scrambled.

People surrounding Wang Ye instantly began pondering as soon as he spoke, wondering why Wang Ye proposed this, and what benefits this might bring Wang Ye.

And what purpose it served for the Cold Sect.

After comprehending, the people around stared at Wang Ye in astonishment, admiration, and even fear!

Wang Ye's thoughts were profound!

This plan not only made the Cold Sect pay the Ice Sect first, earning money for Ice Sect.

Moreover, with so many Cold Sect disciples here, clearly visible to any discerning eye, the Cold Sect disciples inherently had internal competitions.

In other words, from the beginning, the Cold Sect disciples harbored some conflicts.

And Wang Ye's plan essentially magnified these existing conflicts among the Cold Sect disciples.

Thus, the Cold Sect disciples would need a considerable period to fight in the arena.

During this period, Wang Ye could enhance his strength.

Of course.

Even if Wang Ye gains time, it would only be a few days.

In Spirit Star, a hundred years pass in a blink; a few days are insignificant.

Typically, in those few days, an ordinary cultivator might luckily advance one small level.

But with Wang Ye having the Mid-Stage Sixth Rank cultivator level, even elevating by one small level wouldn't matter much.

However, this does not negate that Wang Ye's plan is not flawless.
