I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

Everyone from the four major factions—Floating Island, Blood Hand Fort, Divine Sword Mountain, and Imperial Cave—from the elders down to the disciples, all looked nervous. Some even dared not look Ye Chongren in the eye, their eyes filled with fear. Only one person remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic at all: Ye Lingfei.

Although most of the foundations and bases of the four major forces today still remain, their top combat capabilities have been almost completely lost.

Aside from a few elders, even the sect leader was dead. Take Divine Sword Mountain, for example. This once-powerful, established, eighth-tier faction now had its leader dead, along with the Sword Master of Destruction and the Sword Master of Serenity. It was a devastating blow, and it was likely that it would take thousands of years to recover its former glory.

Ye Chongren took a deep breath, his eyes like lightning, scanning everyone, and said in a deep voice: "You were my enemies before, that was an internal dispute, which is understandable. But helping Jiang Qisha to deal with us is tantamount to betrayal, which is intolerable!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale instantly, as if they had seen their own tragic end.

Some people wanted to explain, their lips trembling slightly, but they didn't dare to speak out loud.

In the end, it was Ye Lingfei who understood Ye Chongren's intention. He stepped forward and said calmly, "City Lord Ye, it is true that we were enemies with you because of internal conflicts of interest. We cannot deny this.

But later, we were truly coerced by Jiang Qisha. Not only the Floating Island Master, the Tranquil Sword Master of Divine Sword Mountain, and the Fort Master of Blood Hand Fort, but also many elders and masters of Huangji Cave, were brutally murdered.

We were forced to obey Jiang Qisha's orders and attack Xiongye. However, as you can see, we didn't fight to the death with the forces from Honghuang City. If you don't believe us, you can ask them.

Ye Chongren turned to look at Meng Kongchan and the others, and they all nodded in agreement. Ye Chongren pretended to be thoughtful for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay, in that case, I will show some leniency and spare you this time. But from today on, you must submit to Honghuang City."

As soon as these words were spoken, many old men from the four major forces felt nervous and looked embarrassed, but at this time, no one dared to refute them and offend Ye Chongren.

Seeing this, Ye Chongren nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Order Ye Lingfei to reorganize the four major factions and send all the magical resources from the four major factions to Honghuang City. As for all the resources you need for cultivation, they will be centrally allocated and distributed by Honghuang City."

Ye Chongren's orders were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart again and again. Although they were dissatisfied, they could only sigh secretly.

Who made them choose the wrong side from the beginning? If they had chosen to fight alongside Ye Chongren like Fenglei Palace and Xingyun Pavilion, how could they have ended up like this?

Although Wind and Thunder Palace and Xingyun Pavilion suffered losses in this battle, they were not serious. Meanwhile, not only did their sect leader die, but their sect also became a subsidiary force of Honghuang City.

Perhaps it won’t be long before their sect will be incorporated into Honghuang City, and even its name will no longer exist.

Although Ye Lingfei wasn't strong enough to fully command them, he had no choice but to obey Ye Chongren's orders. Some of these people were dissatisfied and reluctant, but others were open to it, including the sect's heirs, Dian Jiuzhi and Huang Taiji.

Over this period of time, Ye Lingfei's courage and boldness had earned their respect. Before the attack on Xiongye, during the group's discussions, Ye Lingfei was the only one who dared to speak with Jiang Qisha. Now, Ye Lingfei had become the leader of their generation.

"Everyone go back." Ye Chongren waved his hand, and everyone retreated as if they had been pardoned.

After this period of hard work, Ye Lingfei has successfully won back the hearts of a considerable number of people from the four major forces.
