"Li Yunfeng, your strength has been restored? And you've even... reached the Semi Venerable Realm?!"

Qiu Boyuan stared intensely at Li Yunfeng, his brows tightly knit, revealing a hint of astonished doubt in his eyes.

"Qiu Boyuan, didn't expect it, did you? Did you think that ruining my Dantian would leave me a cripple for life? Haha..."

Li Yunfeng laughed heartily. "You can't imagine how magical this world is, nor can you imagine how powerful the warriors of this world are!"

After a pause, Li Yunfeng turned his head to look at Xiao Chang'an, who was seated in the place of honor, and sneered, "Alliance Leader Xiao, you abandoned me to curry favor with that Jiang Chen back then. Now, I am back, and it's time for you to step down from your position as Martial Alliance Leader."

"Li Yunfeng, what nonsense are you spouting?" Dao Wufeng bellowed angrily.

"Wufeng," Xiao Chang'an called out with an ugly expression and looked up coldly at Li Yunfeng, "Did you bring these people here? Are you plotting a coup?"

"A coup?" Li Yunfeng spat sarcastically. "Do you think you're the emperor? Xiao Chang'an, in the Martial Dao World, strength is supreme. You have to bow down to those stronger than you, like the elder Chen and the others. If you don't want the Martial Alliance Headquarters to run with blood today, immediately inform all branches of the Martial Alliance to abdicate your position to someone better. Otherwise, the Martial Alliance Headquarters will be razed to the ground."

"Bastard! You think just you can?"

Buzz!

Dao Wufeng shouted, his aura erupting all over him, withstanding the oppressive force bearing down on him. He reached to his waist and drew a sharp, short knife, flashing toward Li Yunfeng.

He was unclear about the specific strengths of these people, but he could see that today's affairs would not end well. If these people wanted to install Li Yunfeng as Alliance Leader, capturing him might break the deadlock.

After all, the others had never served in the Martial Alliance, and even with powerful strength, becoming the leader of the Martial Alliance wouldn't win everyone's support.

As soon as Dao Wufeng moved, Liu Qingxia and the Six Elders took action, with Xiao Chang'an directly attacking the nearest elder from the Chen Family, while Liu Qingxia, Qiu Boyuan, and others rushed toward Li Yunfeng.

Everyone had the same idea; even at the cost of their lives, they had to kill Li Yunfeng so that the Martial Alliance wouldn't fall under the control of these people.

Although the Martial Alliance wasn't strong, it provided a refuge and opportunities for cultivation to Loose Cultivators and smaller Sects and families. Most people were grateful to the Martial Alliance; taking over with sheer strength would not truly control the Martial Alliance!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Four overwhelmingly powerful auras suddenly emerged.

The bodies of Xiao Chang'an and the others abruptly halted, their faces showing shock, especially Xiao Chang'an, Dao Wufeng, and Liu Qingxia; as Semi Venerable Realm warriors, they understood all too well what this powerful aura represented.

"Venerable Realm warriors?!"

"How is this possible?!"

The movements of Xiao Chang'an and the others were forcefully stopped by the four mighty auras, and the three Alliance Leaders cried out in horror.

"Dare to attack? Quite bold!"

The second elder from the right corner of the mouth lifted into a mocking smile. He reached behind him, and a Blood-colored Longknife appeared in his hand, ferociously cleaving down towards Dao Wufeng!

"Be careful!"

"Not good!"

"Is it Venerable Realm warriors?!"

"Blood Blade Sect members?!"

As soon as the elder made his move, everyone cried out in alarm. Xiao Chang'an's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached to pull Dao Wufeng.

"You come along too!"

The leading elder from the Chen Family on the right spoke indifferently, slapping a light palm towards Xiao Chang'an.

Xiao Chang'an's expression changed, and he suddenly felt a deadly crisis bearing down on him, moving quickly to dodge.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the oppressive aura bearing down on Xiao Chang'an intensified, and his figure stumbled once again.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the elder's palm struck Xiao Chang'an's chest, and Xiao Chang'an instantly burst, turning into a mist of blood that scattered across the ground.

Swoosh!

A blood-colored blade light flashed by; at the moment the Chen Family elder hit Xiao Chang'an, an elder from the Blood Blade Sect cleaved Dao Wufeng in two.

Shick!

The sound of a blade entering flesh rang out, and Dao Wufeng's body came to an abrupt halt.

Clang!

The Blood Blade Sect elder sheathed his sword on his back with a metallic sound, glanced indifferently at Dao Wufeng, and resumed his seat.

Hiss!

A stream of blood spurted from Dao Wufeng's forehead.

Thump! Thump!

Dao Wufeng's body suddenly split in half and fell to either side.

"Martial Alliance Leader Xiao!"

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Dao!"

Qiu Boyuan and the others hadn't even had time to react; they were barely managing to withstand the oppressive aura from the four elders when Xiao Chang'an and Dao Wufeng had already met their demise.

They couldn't help but cry out in alarm, their complexions turning deathly pale without a trace of color, their eyes filled with extreme panic.

"Ha ha..."

Li Yunfeng laughed out loud, strode to the seat of honor, and sat down with a thud. He turned his head and mockingly looked at the Martial Alliance people, "Everyone, I, Li Yunfeng, now sit as the Martial Alliance Leader. Does anyone have objections?"

"Li Yunfeng, you..."

Liu Qingxia's face turned livid with anger as she looked at Li Yunfeng, her eyes brimming with rage, "Martial Alliance has treated you well. It was your son who tried to take liberties with Mr. Jiang's woman and was punished for it. How could you harbor resentment against the Martial Alliance and bring a powerful enemy here? What are you trying to do? Do you want to destroy the Martial Alliance?"

"Of course not!"

Li Yunfeng gently shook his head, "Vice Alliance Hierarch Liu, you're right, the Martial Alliance has not treated me poorly. I invited the Chen Family elder and the Blood Blade Sect elder here not to destroy the Martial Alliance but to lead it to greater heights."

"The Martial Alliance has been established for so many years and has always been looked down upon by the Martial Dao World's Sects and Families. They have never considered us part of the Martial Dao World, always treating us as if we were mere Secular World forces. Why is that?"

Li Yunfeng fixed his gaze on Liu Qingxia.

"Because our Martial Alliance does not have the strong support of power, the strength of our Martial Alliance is seen by other Sect forces as insignificant!"

Before Liu Qingxia could reply, Li Qiuyue, who was next to her, spoke up first.

Qiu Boyuan frowned and glanced at Li Qiuyue, his eyes reflecting a hint of deep thought.

"Correct!"

Li Yunfeng nodded emphatically and continued, "Perhaps the main seat would say that our Martial Alliance's strength is not inferior to the Martial Arts Families along the river or to the top Sects of Jiangbei, so how could it be because of this?"

Li Yunfeng let out a sneer, "Actually, we have all fallen into a blind spot. We think that the strength they show now is all they have, but this is not the case! At the end of the day, this is still related to an operation by the Flame Dragon Group back in the day."

"When the Flame Dragon Kingdom was established, the Flame Dragon Group plundered all the major Sects and Families, causing a scarcity of Elixirs among the major forces. For decades, the ancestors of the major forces have perished due to reaching the end of their life spans! But some ancestors chose to go into closed-door death seclusion."

"According to an elder from the Blood Blade Sect, of the Six Great Sects in Jiangbei, each has at least one or two ancestors in closed-door death seclusion. Among the current Five Great Families along the river, there are at least two with ancestors in seclusion. These ancestors are the first members of their families from that time, the weakest of whom are in the Venerable Realm!"

Li Yunfeng swept a glance at Liu Qingxia and the others, his tone full of mockery, "Do you still think the Martial Alliance is qualified to compare with other Martial Arts Forces? Do you still think their disdain for us is merely arrogance?"

Liu Qingxia and the others all frowned, their faces showing complex emotions as they fell silent.
