Yichen Hotel in Dingjing, large conference room.

Alliance representatives from various regions gathered together.

Many countries around the world do not have very strong martial arts forces; some small countries don't even have martial artists. After discussing among themselves, they divided into twelve major regions, with a strong martial arts force acting as the Small Alliance's hierarch. The hierarch, also the strongest, attended this meeting.

During this year's spiritual energy resurgence, all twelve representatives stepped into the Saint Realm, and those who were originally in the Saint Realm climbed several more levels.

Currently, among the twelve people, there are seven late-stage Saint Realm experts and five mid-stage Saint Realm experts.

They did not receive help from Jiang Chen's alliance, so their progress was somewhat slow. Reaching this level is already their limit.

This time, they all brought enough spiritual medicine. Due to the spiritual energy eruption this year, numerous spirit grasses have emerged worldwide, and various forces have hoarded quite a lot, almost bringing everything this time.

Their purpose is, first, to show their sincerity, and second, to exchange with Jiang Chen's side for enough elixirs for cultivation!

Thud, thud, thud!

A flurry of footsteps sounded, and the twelve representatives turned their heads to look at the door, their eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Why is there someone at the peak of the Venerable Realm?"

One representative spoke in surprise.

"Let's see first!"

An adjacent representative spoke softly.

The twelve collectively fixed their eyes on the conference room door.

Tap, tap!

Footsteps approached, and a blood-red figure walked in from the door, followed by Dragon Saint, His Holiness the Pope, Ying Zi, and Medicine Saint.

"Lord Dragon Saint, His Holiness the Pope!"

The twelve representatives rose to salute.

The two nodded and took the main seats on both ends, while Ye Jingyi sat in the empty main seat, with Ying Zi and Medicine Saint standing expressionlessly behind her.

"This..."

The twelve representatives paused, frowning collectively.

"Lord Dragon Saint, what is the meaning of this?"

A representative from America glanced at Ye Jingyi and suspiciously looked at Dragon Saint.

"This is Mr Jiang's wife, Mrs. Ye Jingyi. Today's meeting will be chaired by Mrs. Ye!" Dragon Saint gestured towards Ye Jingyi.

"How can this be?!"

"Yes, how can a woman be in charge? And she's just a martial artist at the Venerable Realm!"

"What does Mr. Jiang mean by this? Does he look down on us?"

"This is really insincere! Mr. Jiang's airs are too much!"

The representatives erupted in dissatisfaction, shouting their grievances.

"Unwilling? Then there's no need to talk!"

Ye Jingyi glanced at everyone, spoke coldly, and stood up, making a move to leave.

Dragon Saint and His Holiness the Pope were taken aback, having not been told by Ye Jingyi that she would handle it this way, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The twelve representatives were also dumbfounded; they didn't expect this Mrs. Ye to be as assertive as Jiang Chen, no, even more assertive than Jiang Chen.

The last time Jiang Chen at least spoke a bit more before driving the regional representatives away, but now, Ye Jingyi was leaving directly, with no hint of reluctance!

The representatives showed a trace of panic in their eyes.

Ye Jingyi could drop everything, but they couldn't. This visit carried the expectations of numerous forces on their shoulders; they had to join Jiang Chen's alliance no matter what.

Given the rapid rise in strength enabled by Jiang Chen's elixirs, compared to Jiang Chen's alliance, all of them together would probably not match even a fifth of the alliance's power. How could they not negotiate!

The initial dissatisfaction was merely an attempt to gain the upper hand in the negotiations. But Ye Jingyi dropping everything had directly countered them.

Especially since Medicine Saint behind Ye Jingyi also turned to leave, which made the representatives panic even more, knowing that the elixirs of Jiang Chen's alliance were managed by this middle-aged Saint Realm person!

"Mrs. Ye, please stay!"

The American representative hurriedly shouted.

"Mrs. Ye, please stay, we meant no offense!"

"Yes, Mrs. Ye, please don't be angry!"

The representatives collectively urged and comforted her.

Dragon Saint and His Holiness the Pope exchanged glances, raised their heads, and said in unison, "Mrs. Ye, please do not get angry."

Only when Dragon Saint and His Holiness the Pope spoke did Ye Jingyi turn back to look at everyone.

"What dissatisfaction do you have? Do you just see benefits and rush forward, but when there's none you turn your nose up? Where were you when we were helping Sedney? Where were you when Jiang Chen risked his life to destroy the passage in the spatial rift?"

Ye Jingyi's voice was cold: "Now, Jiang Chen is still fighting for Yuan Star, yet you're speaking ill of him here? What right do you have to criticize him?"

The representatives paused, seeing the blood-stained clothing on Ye Jingyi, they were collectively startled!

"Mrs. Ye, I heard Mr. Jiang went to investigate because there was a great opportunity mentioned in Dingjing, how does that relate to bloodshed? Mr. Jiang... truly seems to disregard us!"

The American representative glanced out the window, where they could still see the light beam soaring into the sky.

Ye Jingyi looked coldly at the American representative and sneered: "Opportunities? Is that all you see—opportunities and benefits? Can you see anything else?"

The representatives' faces showed a hint of surprise, eyes filled with confusion.

"Do you know what's in there? Do you know the purpose of the things inside? Do you know how they relate to the safety of Yuan Star? Do you understand the immense pain one must endure to go there?"

Ye Jingyi roared in anger: "You know nothing, yet still point fingers here, what right do you have? Tell me, where do you have the right?"

The representatives' expressions changed, and they furrowed their brows lightly.

"You just think there's opportunity in there, right? Fine, let's go, I'll take you to see, to see the so-called opportunity you speak of!"

Ye Jingyi replied mockingly: "I hope you have the ability to enter, enter and seize the so-called opportunities you talk about!"

Dragon Saint and His Holiness' faces changed, looking at Ye Jingyi in astonishment, wondering if taking these people in was appropriate?

"Mrs. Ye, would you reconsider?" Dragon Saint advised.

The representatives initially felt a tinge of fear from Ye Jingyi's words, but Dragon Saint's caution made them suspect he was trying to prevent their access to opportunity.

"No need to reconsider; fate decides life and death. Even if they die there, it has nothing to do with us!"

Ye Jingyi spoke solemnly and walked out of the conference room.

Dragon Saint and His Holiness exchanged a glance, understanding Ye Jingyi's intentions.

They looked at the twelve representatives expressionlessly and followed her out.

Simultaneously, they muttered to themselves:

How dare you lot speak ill of Mr. Jiang in front of Mrs. Ye, you're in for a hard time!
