Chen Bikun, Zhang Hengda, and others fleetingly glanced at Liu Qingxia using the corners of their eyes—now that Xiao Chang'an was dead, Liu Qingxia had become the strongest in the Martial Alliance.

"Li Yunfeng, what exactly are you trying to say?" Li Qiuyue swept her gaze over Liu Qingxia and the others, suddenly shouting out.

Qiu Boyuan glanced at Li Qiuyue again, his brows tightly knitted, his eyes suddenly flashing with a cold chill as he realized something.

"Let me reintroduce these four elders to everyone!"

Li Yunfeng glanced at Li Qiuyue and gestured with his hand toward the people on his right, "This, is Chen Liangui, the ancient ancestor of the Chen Family, a peerless powerhouse in the late Venerable Realm. The second, is Li Jiutian, Sect Leader of Blood Blade Sect, also a powerhouse in the late Venerable Realm. The third, Chen Chaohui, the second ancestor of the Chen Family, a powerhouse in the Middle Venerable Realm. The fourth, Vice Sect Leader of Blood Blade Sect, also the third ancestor of the Chen Family, Chen Wansi, also in the Middle Venerable Realm."

Liu Qingxia's eyes flashed with a shocked expression as she stared at Chen Liangui, saying in a deep voice, "The Chen Family has allied with the Blood Blade Sect? And..."

After glancing at Chen Wansi, a look of disbelief crossed Liu Qingxia's face, "The Chen Family has long been in alliance with the Blood Blade Sect?"

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Liu, it's not that the Chen Family has allied with the Blood Blade Sect, but rather…" Chen Liangui's lips curved up, "the Blood Blade Sect has always been under the Chen Family's control!"

"What?!"

"The Blood Blade Sect is under the Chen Family's control?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Liu Qingxia and the others shouted in surprise.

"I know why you are all so astonished. You're thinking, given how illustrious the Blood Blade Sect once was, and with our Chen Family always keeping a low profile, how could we possibly control the Blood Blade Sect, right?"

Chen Liangui scanned the crowd, a smug expression forming on his face as he spoke, "But don't forget, although it was Blood Venerate Ning Bufan who led the Blood Blade Sect to its pinnacle, before him, the Sect Leaders of Blood Blade Sect were always from the Chen family!"

"This…"

Liu Qingxia and the others stared at Chen Liangui in amazement, their eyes reflecting an incredulous look.

"Li Yunfeng, we have wasted too much time!" After explaining, Chen Liangui appeared to have lost his patience, turned his head to look at Li Yunfeng, and spoke expressionlessly.

"Yes!"

Li Yunfeng nodded respectfully, then turned to face Liu Qingxia and others, "Let me be clear—if you support me as the Alliance Hierarch, hereafter, the Martial Alliance will be under the protection of the Chen Family and Blood Blade Sect. Then, our Martial Alliance will surely become a top force in the Martial Dao World. However, if you disagree, the Blood Blade Sect members lying in ambush around us will uproot the Martial Alliance Headquarters by dawn tomorrow, and the Martial Alliance will become history!"

"The Martial Alliance becoming history?!" Liu Qingxia spoke without expression, "If the headquarters are destroyed, does that mean the Martial Alliance is gone? Throughout Flame Dragon, how many Martial Alliance branches, how many…"

"Vice Alliance Hierarch Liu."

Li Yunfeng interrupted her, his voice laced with mockery, "Stop deluding yourselves. Do you really believe that if everyone here at the headquarters dies, the members of those Martial Alliance branches will still loyally stand by the Martial Alliance? Are you certain they won't abandon the Martial Alliance out of fear?"

At his words, Liu Qingxia and the others' expressions changed, a saddened look flashing through their eyes.

"I agree with Yunfeng becoming the Martial Alliance Leader!"

Suddenly, a voice called out as Li Qiuyue stepped behind the people on the right, speaking righteously, "When Vice Alliance Hierarch Xiao founded the Martial Alliance, it was to provide a safe haven for countless loose cultivators and small forces. Now that the elders from the Chen Family and Blood Blade Sect are supporting Yunfeng as the Alliance Hierarch, why shouldn't we agree? With their protection, wouldn't our safe haven be all the more secure?"

"Li Qiuyue, you have always echoed Li Yunfeng; I think you have already betrayed the Martial Alliance, haven't you?" Duan Yibo stared coldly at Li Qiuyue, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Director Duan, what do you mean by 'betrayal'? I admit, I helped Yunfeng restore his strength, but is that betrayal? I was merely helping my cousin. Furthermore, I support Yunfeng because the elders from the Chen Family and Blood Blade Sect are here. With them, the Martial Alliance will undoubtedly become stronger. I am doing this for the good of the Martial Alliance!" Li Qiuyue spoke unperturbed.

"You helped Li Yunfeng restore his strength?!"

"How could that be possible? You haven't even reached the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm, how could you help him regain and enhance his strength?!"

Duan Yibo and others shouted in surprise.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Li Qiuyue gave a faint smile upon hearing the words, her body shuddering as a formidable aura burst forth from within her, pressing directly towards Liu Qingxia and the others!

"Peak Semi Venerable Venerable?!"

Upon encountering Li Qiuyue's aura, Liu Qingxia's complexion drastically changed, and she stared in shock with widened eyes.

"What?!"

"Peak Semi Venerable Venerable Realm?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"Has Director Li always concealed her strength?!"

Chen Bikun and the others exclaimed in surprise once again.

A flash of insight crossed Qiu Boyuan's mind, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

He glanced at the people to his right and let out a bitter smile inside, thinking, could this be the Gene Organization?

He had not expected to encounter one of the three major organizations that troubled the world's peak forces, as Mr. Jiang had described.

No!

After looking at the members of the Blood Blade Sect again, Qiu Boyuan felt an indescribable mix of amusement and distress.

The Blood Blade Sect was an ally of the Dark Church!

Since when had the small Martial Alliance attracted the attention of two major terrifying forces?

At that moment, Li Qiuyue smiled lightly, nonchalantly saying, "This is nothing, as long as you support Yunfeng as the Alliance Hierarch, you can also reach this realm!"

"What?"

"Really?"

Chen Bikun and Zhang Hengda reflexively blurted out.

Liu Qingxia frowned slightly, glaring fiercely at Chen Bikun and the others before turning her gaze to the rest.

Struggles flashed in the eyes of Duan Yibo and Wang Weijiang, whereas Qiu Boyuan's eyes contained a pensive look.

"Director Qiu, you usually have plenty to say. Why are you so silent today?" Li Yunfeng suddenly turned to Qiu Boyuan, sensing something was off with him today!

Qiu Boyuan glanced at Li Yunfeng, on the verge of speaking.

Ding-a-ling!

A ringtone suddenly went off, causing everyone to frown and look towards Qiu Boyuan.

After scanning the crowd, Qiu Boyuan slowly took out his phone to check the caller ID, his pupils abruptly constricting.

With a thought, Qiu Boyuan's expression showed a struggle.

Li Yunfeng asked in a deep voice, "Director Qiu, whose call is it?"

After glancing at Li Yunfeng, Qiu Boyuan hesitated for a moment, chose not to answer, and directly picked up the call in front of everyone.

Li Yunfeng's expression changed, and he opened his mouth to rebuke when Chen Liangui waved his hand, watching Qiu Boyuan with an inscrutable smile, his gaze towards Qiu Boyuan revealing a trace of admiration.

It was indeed rare for someone to take a call so nonchalantly under these circumstances!

"Hello, Xiao Liang!" Qiu Boyuan answered the phone, not waiting for the other side to speak, and preemptively called out.
