Chen Yifeng and Old Man Jin have gathered martial artists from the north and south Wulin, hoping that everyone can work together to deal with the sealers. The sealers have been capturing people from Wulin, causing widespread discontent, and now they’ve even occupied many martial artists’ training grounds. "Young Ye, I have called everyone here, and from now on, we will follow your instructions," said Chen Yifeng. His words caused quite a few people to react. Not all martial artists in Wulin wanted to follow Ye Qiu’s orders. Soon, someone stood up and said, "Mr. Ye, when will you help us regain our lost territory?" As soon as these words were spoken, many eyes flashed with hope, obviously wanting Ye Qiu to take action quickly. Because many mountain peaks, like sources of spiritual energy, are now very beneficial for martial artists to train. "I don’t plan to take action," Ye Qiu replied lightly. When Ye Qiu said this, many in Wulin were taken aback. Ye Qiu wouldn’t take action? "Mr. Ye, didn’t you gather us here to deal with the sealers together? We’ve come, yet you say you don’t plan to take action. Isn’t this toying with us?" someone immediately expressed dissatisfaction, and many nodded in agreement, believing Ye Qiu was deceiving everyone. Ye Qiu’s gaze abruptly shot toward the first person who spoke and said calmly, "First, I never said that I called you here to deal with them together. Second, whether I take action or not is my decision, and no one can dictate it. Third, I am not a savior and have no obligation to help anyone regain what they’ve lost." After Ye Qiu finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment. Chen Yifeng and Old Man Jin were somewhat embarrassed; they did not expect things to turn out this way. "Since Mr. Ye has no intention of helping us, we will take our leave," someone, unwilling to stay longer, prepared to leave. "I won’t see you out!" Some martial artists began to leave, followed by many others. Ye Qiu glanced around and said calmly, "Anyone else wants to leave? If you have a problem with me, you can leave now." The martial artists looked at each other and another group left, eventually leaving just a few behind. Chen Yifeng and Old Man Jin rubbed their hands awkwardly, "Young Ye, it was our oversight. We thought everyone would be like us, didn’t expect some would demand of you. Please, Young Ye, don’t be angry." "Elder Chen, Elder Jin, it’s not your fault. The world is changing, and so are people’s hearts. Not everyone is the same as before," Ye Qiu said. The martial artists coming down from Wangyue Peak muttered resentfully, "The so-called world’s strongest, he just retreats in the face of those guys." "What should we do next?" "With our strength, we can’t take it back; I feel those people, although their methods are cruel, are strong. Why not take a chance, if we can join them, isn’t it also an opportunity?" Many people’s eyes lit up. It was obvious that becoming one of the sealers, although somewhat shameful, wasn’t disgraceful in a world ruled by the strong, as long as one had sufficient backing, no one would say anything. Thus, many martial artists went to the once familiar mountain peaks, hoping to meet with the peaks’ masters, wishing to join them and stand with the sealers. Such scenes played out on many mountain peaks, and when the news returned to Wangyue Peak, Chen Yifeng, Old Man Jin, Wang Hutang, and others were furious. These guys were turning traitor. "Everyone has their own ambitions, the Wulin of today is not what it once was," Ye Qiu said slowly. Eventually, the Wulin seniors no longer bothered with the matter, as their strength was no longer the strongest, and with so many powerful individuals, others having their choices was understandable. Under the consultation of Chen Yifeng, Old Man Jin, and others from the north and south Wulin, Ye Qiu became the Alliance Hierarch of the Wulin, and from now on, all orders would be followed through Ye Qiu’s command. In the current environment, Wulin is too fragile without notable martial artists, and if it continues, many martial artists would end up as cannon fodder. Only by uniting could there be a chance to survive. However, the sealers’ power is too great, Chen Yifeng and Old Man Jin, despite breaking through to the Mythic Realm, still couldn’t compete with the sealers. For Wulin to continue existing, it was discussed that it would be best to hand over Wulin’s authority to Ye Qiu. Firstly, Ye Qiu’s prowess is indisputable, and secondly, Ye Qiu’s character was admired by both. Considering these factors, with Ye Qiu leading Wulin, there wouldn’t be significant problems. Instead, they worried Ye Qiu might not be willing to take over the mess. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu agreed, and the reason other than respecting the elders was that Ye Qiu also felt their side was too weak against numerous sealers. When the elders discussed having him as the Alliance Hierarch, Ye Qiu was already thinking about how to enhance Wulin’s strength. Like the previous preaching conference, which could be used as a reference, but quickly producing several masters was unrealistic.

Wangyue Peak became the habitation for the martial artists, and henceforth, Wulin was led by Ye Qiu with unity from top to bottom. This news quickly spread throughout China, and many martial artists who had not been seen for a while were surprised. Like people from the "Ten Heroes," on hearing this news, they too were stunned. Thinking back to competing with Ye Qiu for ranks, now, Ye Qiu had become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, the gap was already unreachable. "What realm have you attained?" a young man murmured, his aura much stronger now, fully comparable to Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and other Wulin seniors. Yet even with such strength, hearing Ye Qiu’s name did not bring joy, but a sense of gloom. That guy seemed always untouchable, every time you think you’re closer, you’re left further behind. "I, Huangfu Jun, will not give up," the young man affirmed his martial heart, not discouraged by setbacks, and continued training, striving to break through his shackles. "Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch? Haha... Want to unite?" When Ye Qiu’s ascension was heard by some sealers, they sneered. "A bunch of weaklings gathering a leader, what’s the point?" remarked someone, completely dismissive, with extreme sarcasm in their words. "But fear not, someone else will act, this one offended the Youlan Sect, and since the sect’s Saint Heir has just emerged, let him deal with it. Just a native, yet enough," the man had a cold smile, eyes gazing into the distance.
