The entrance to the valley cave outside Dingjing.

"Someone's coming!"

Yan Hu spoke with a solemn expression.

Li Jianfeng and the others frowned slightly, coldly watching the road leading here.

After a while, a group of seventeen figures stared at the sword aura and walked over.

"Madam, this is..."

Yan Hu glanced at the twelve representatives and turned to Ye Jingyi.

Ye Jingyi sneered, glancing at the twelve people, "They think Jiang Chen is seizing the opportunity and disrespecting them for not going. I'm taking them here to show them their so-called opportunity."

"What!?"

Yan Hu was momentarily stunned, a fierce killing intent exploding from his body, as he glared at the twelve representatives, "For Yuan Star, the Young Master risked everything to go down, yet you maliciously smear him here. It's truly unforgivable!"

Whirring sounds!

Li Jianfeng, Wu Qianxun, Elder Ming, and others exuded powerful auras, coldly staring at the twelve representatives.

The twelve representatives paused, surprised as they looked at Yan Hu and the others, a hint of scorn showing deep in their eyes.

Risking death? Why haven't we seen any deadly situation? Coming here we've only seen your people absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, using sword aura to sharpen themselves, where's the danger?

"Hu Zi!" Ye Jingyi spoke indifferently, "Ignore them."

Turning to the twelve representatives, Ye Jingyi said apathetically, "The greatest opportunity is right below. Didn't you think Jiang Chen was merely greedy for benefits and that's why he didn't see you? Go down, we won't stop you!"

"Madam Ye, are you sure?"

The twelve representatives suddenly lit up, an America representative eagerly confirmed.

They could all sense that the spiritual energy erupting here was most intense. If they could enter to cultivate, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!

"I'm sure, go down!" Ye Jingyi responded emotionlessly.

"Everyone, I'll go first to explore the path for you!"

Without another word, the America representative leaped straight up, charging toward the cave entrance.

"Let's explore the path together!"

Another America representative shouted.

The twelve representatives all rushed towards the cave entrance.

Yan Hu and the others glanced at Ye Jingyi, who remained unmoved, with a slightly peculiar look on their faces.

"Ah!"

A piercing scream resounded, as the America representative who charged first into the cave entrance was instantly torn apart by the sword aura, revealing ghastly white bones.

"What!?"

"Is the sword aura inside that strong!?"

The other eleven representatives' faces changed dramatically, promptly stopping at the edge of the cave entrance.

Whoosh!

The America representative swiftly retreated from the beam of light, his entire body now mangled, with exposed ghastly white bones in areas like his arms, legs, and chest, half of his head even transformed into a skull.

"Why aren't you going in? Go ahead? Seize the opportunity!"

Ye Jingyi shouted angrily.

The other eleven representatives glanced at Ye Jingyi, their faces now exceedingly grim.

"Ha Mu, what's going on?" Another America representative asked the one who charged into the beam.

"Te Leisi, the sword aura inside is over a hundred times stronger than outside. It's absolutely unbearable for us, even— even at Saint Realm Peak, it's impossible to endure for more than a minute!"

Ha Mu spoke tremblingly, the remaining half of his face filled with terror.

Te Leisi and the others' faces changed drastically, looking at Ye Jingyi with disbelief.

"Mr. Jiang has been down there for how long?"

Te Leisi hesitantly spoke.

"None of your business!" Ye Jingyi retorted forcefully.

Te Leisi's face changed, closing his mouth sullenly.

"Inside, there's something that can affect Yuan Star. Mr. Jiang went in to retrieve that item to maintain Yuan Star's stability. And before Mr. Jiang went in, someone had already entered. It's likely someone from the Void Nether Realm has arrived."

Dragon Saint spoke solemnly, "Mr. Jiang didn't want too much sacrifice, so he only took one person down. Can you imagine the crisis Mr. Jiang is facing inside?"

Te Leisi and the others' faces changed again, a hint of shock appearing in their eyes.

"Why don't you go down? Didn't you say Jiang Chen was seizing opportunities and that's why he didn't meet you? Now the opportunity is right here, go down and seize it!" Ye Jingyi spoke mockingly.

Te Leisi and the others' faces turned even uglier, glancing at Ha Mu who was secretly healing with spiritual power, a touch of regret appearing in their hearts.

They finally realized Ye Jingyi was doing this on purpose, deliberately leading them here to trap them because of their bad-mouthing of Jiang Chen.

However, they couldn't utter any accusation, as they too had intended to seize the opportunity.

"Madam Ye, we apologize, it was short-sighted of us!"

Te Leisi spoke softly, apologetically looking at Ye Jingyi.

"Apologize? Is one apology enough? What has Jiang Chen done for Yuan Star? For the Martial Dao World? For the entire world's people? He's been striving constantly!"

Ye Jingyi roared in anger:

"In battle, he's at the frontline. When not fighting, he's wholeheartedly considering everyone, establishing the Martial Warrior Academy, questioned by you, establishing the Martial Alliance, questioned by you, now desperately stopping people from the Void Nether Realm, striving to retrieve the item that will influence Yuan Star's safety, yet questioned by you. Do you still count as human?"

Whirring sounds!

Several powerful auras emerged.

The five old men surnamed Wei leaped into the valley.

"This... why have you come? Did something happen over at the crevice?"

Dragon Saint looked surprised at the Wei-named five elders.

"I asked the five to come!"

Ye Jingyi spoke in a deep voice, "Don't worry, each crevice has six Saint Realm mid to late-stage experts forming a battle array to guard it. Leaving for a moment won't cause any issues."

"Madam Ye, what if during the time the five leave..." Dragon Saint surprised, urgently spoke.

Ye Jingyi coldly said, "Then it's Yuan Star's fate!"

Everyone present was shocked, looking at Ye Jingyi with astonishment.

Then it's Yuan Star's fate, this...

"What has Jiang Chen done over these few years, I don't believe anyone present doesn't know, but the result? Until now he's still questioned by you, smeared by you, speculated with your filthy thoughts, I'm fed up!"

Ye Jingyi spoke icily, "Jiang Chen endured it for everyone; as his wife, I can't tolerate it! Today, the eleven of you who didn't enter the beam must go in, whoever doesn't enter will die here!"

"What?"

"You..."

"Madam Ye, you can't..."

Te Leisi and the eleven representatives exclaimed in horror, staring at Ye Jingyi with fear.

Especially those Saint Realm mid-stage representatives, seeing how even late-stage Ha Mu became like that after just entering momentarily. If they went in, wouldn't they get severely injured immediately, possibly even instantly dying!
