The forces of both sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere in the entire void suddenly became extremely delicate.

Mu Xin and Mu Yan looked at the hundred-odd strong cultivators from the Divine Sword Sect surrounding the three of them, and they both felt a tinge of fear.

It was obvious that Jiang Changqing and Wang Changsheng were not protecting them, but the figure sitting cross-legged. Merely because of this person’s attitude, these Divine Sword Sect cultivators did not hesitate to band together.

Even Ye Xiaofan was slightly stunned by this scene. Although he could imagine that the people following Jiang Changqing were cultivators who came from the Border City Battle Domain, known for their unity, he did not expect everyone to stand out without hesitation.

After all, he forcibly protected the Mu Xin siblings, and this was never meant to represent the stance of the Divine Sword Sect; it was a personal favor.

Even the group of young women from the Divine Maiden Sect, including the senior sister with the surname Xiao, looked at this scene with the same unspoken surprise and shock. The influence and charisma of this person in front of them were terrifyingly excessive.

One must know, he was merely at the Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm at present. If he grows in the future, his influence within the Divine Sword Sect will be unimaginable.

Besides, Mo Shiyi, watching this scene nearby, revealed a reassuring smile. He was indeed enhancing Ye Xiaofan’s prestige and influence – crucial for any true powerhouse. Whether it’s beneficial for Ye Xiaofan in the future or for himself, Mo Shiyi, it’s advantageous.

However, what Mo Shiyi valued went far beyond this. He focused on those terrifying figures inside the Main Battle Domain who emerged from the Border City Battle Domain.

Through endless years of accumulation, those figures who emerged from that Battle Domain within the Divine Sword Sect were not merely Jiang Changqing and a few others; they constituted a tremendously formidable force. If Ye Xiaofan can integrate into that terrifying collective, his future influence will be all the more fearsome.

Considering the entire Divine Sword Sect, only the strong cultivators who came from that Battle Domain are the most united. This past friendship, even after endless years, still retains warmth.

Of course, to reach those terrifying senior brothers, Jiang Changqing and others are undoubtedly the best bridge.

Meanwhile, the confrontation of more than a hundred Divine Sword Sect senior brothers and sisters turned the face of the senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect with the surname Xiao extremely unsightly.

She stared at Wang Changsheng and others fiercely, then slowly turned her gaze to Jiang Changqing: "Brother Jiang, do we really have to tear our faces apart?"

"Hehe, Junior Sister Xiao, I believe none of us wishes to be at odds in this special period. However, as Jiang has already made clear, since these sisters are Ye Junior Brother’s people, they are half disciples of our Divine Sword Sect. Please forgive me, I cannot let Junior Sister Xiao take them away."

Jiang Changqing smiled, appearing affable on the surface, but his underlying resolve was exceptionally firm. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect with the surname Xiao contracted further, yet she did not continue to speak, seemingly weighing something silently.

Clearly, though she was a cultivator of the First Layer of the Self-Slaying Realm, somewhat higher in realm than Jiang Changqing, she had no absolute assurance. After all, the difference between the Early and Middle Stages was not as vast as imagined. If they truly fought, there were too many possibilities.

After standing quietly for quite a while, finally.

"Alright, since Brother Jiang is so resolute, today I’ll save face for you and temporarily give these two a pass. But remember, Brother Jiang, I’ll keep today’s matter in mind. Once there’s a chance, I’ll definitely have a good talk with you."

When the senior sister with the surname Xiao said ’have a good talk,’ she emphasized these words.

In fact, the implication was that this grudge today will be remembered by her, the senior sister with the surname Xiao. May the future be long, you’d better not fall into my hands.

Jiang Changqing chuckled indifferently upon hearing this, still smiling warmly: "Junior Sister Xiao need not worry. If there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely accompany you, Junior Sister."

After saying this, she snorted coldly, turned, and flew towards the Divine Maiden Sect Ark, casting a glance at everyone from the Divine Sword Sect, finally fixing her gaze on Ye Xiaofan for a moment, before maneuvering the snow-white sacred Ark to break the void and leave.

On the Divine Maiden Sect Ark.

"Senior Sister, are we really letting Mu Xin and Mu Yan go like this? If they join the ranks of the Divine Sword Sect, it will not be as easy to kill them in the future." One female cultivator from the Divine Maiden Sect couldn’t help but speak up.

However, faced with her fellow’s reminder, the senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect with the surname Xiao seemed to be already indifferent to the matters concerning Mu Xin and Mu Yan, instead gazing far away at the figure among Wang Changsheng and others.

Yin Ruyue watched the expression of the senior sister with the surname Xiao, seeming to have guessed what was on the other’s mind, and spoke with deep concern: "Mu Xin and Mu Yan will have opportunities to be slain eventually, but now the most important and troublesome issue is that Ye Xiaofan."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the young female cultivators of the Divine Maiden Sect shuddered slightly, each associating thoughts of their own.

The senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect with the surname Xiao then looked solemn and, after a moment’s silence, said lightly: "This person must be killed. In less than a year and a half in the Hundred Sects Battle Domain, he possesses such terrifying influence. If this continues, his influence within the Divine Sword Sect will become unprecedentedly formidable."

Even though that day has yet to occur, the senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect with the surname Xiao seemed to have already glimpsed a corner of the future.
