Chapter 682: A Call to Arms

At this moment, Ye Yuan was extremely agitated, his killing intent almost solidifying, suffocating Long Tang and the others.

A gentle force wrapped around them, and Long Tang relaxed, gasping for air.

“Ye Yuan’s parents and grandfather are in Wufang City, where his closest kin reside. He’s only been away for about half a year, yet he never expected the Boundless Realm to fall in less than six months.”

A melodious voice came, belonging to Yue Mengli.

From the first moment they saw Yue Mengli, Nanfeng and her niece were stunned by her beauty and bearing, feeling inferior.

In just a few years, Ye Yuan had gained such a celestial confidante.

The bitterness and inferiority in Nanfeng and her niece’s hearts were beyond words.

Their connection with Ye Yuan was like two intersecting lines, gradually drifting apart.

But at this moment, they had no mind for jealousy. Hearing Yue Mengli’s words, they worried for Ye Yuan’s parents.

“Do you have any news of Wufang City? It gathered all the top experts of the Boundless Realm; even if the city fell, they couldn’t have been completely wiped out, could they?” Ye Yuan asked expectantly.

At that time, Wufang City had gathered countless experts; even if the ten top experts of the Gale Realm attacked together, they couldn’t have caught them all.

But Long Tang’s answer disappointed Ye Yuan.

“Well… I only heard that Wufang City suffered a crushing defeat with countless experts fallen. As for what exactly happened in the city, I have no idea.”

Ye Yuan sighed softly. Though he knew Long Tang couldn’t know key information, he still clung to a sliver of hope.

Ye Yuan closed his eyes and quietly entered the state of mind as firm as a rock.

Everyone knew he was pondering a plan, so no one dared disturb him.

The others held their breath, afraid to interrupt his thoughts.

After a short while, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and said to everyone, “I’m going to attack Wufang City. Who among you is willing to come with me?”

Ye Yuan’s words shook everyone, stirring a surge of excitement.

The Boundless Realm was now lifeless and on the brink of extinction. Even if some had the will, they lacked the strength to organize effective resistance.

Ye Yuan’s simple words, filled with strong confidence and power, instantly infected Long Tang.

“Good, I’ll go with you! Those beasts have killed countless of our compatriots. Even if I die, I’ll take a few with me!” Long Tang clenched his fists.

These days, Long Tang and his fellow disciples had been barely surviving, living too stifled.

Despite his utmost efforts, more than half of his fellow disciples had been lost.

Watching his comrades die one by one, Long Tang’s hatred for the Gale Realm warriors reached its peak.

But his strength was too weak; he couldn’t even make a ripple, which tormented his heart.

Now that Ye Yuan took the lead, even if he were just a foot soldier, he would willingly follow.

Because his achievements today were all thanks to Ye Yuan.

“Brother Ye, we are all willing to follow you!”

“Yes, Brother Ye. You are now the sect master of our Nethercloud Sect. Wherever you say east, we won’t go west!”

“Brother Ye, we’ll listen to you!”

Ye Yuan’s words immediately received a response from his former allies.

The Gale Realm’s slaughter affected every warrior in the Boundless Realm. These fellow disciples’ hatred for the Gale Realm was no less than Long Tang’s.

Moreover, they had a strong sense of identification with Ye Yuan, so when he called, they agreed almost without hesitation.

In this situation, they desperately needed someone to take charge!

Ye Yuan nodded. “Good! In that case, let’s raise the banner of the Nethercloud Sect again! Let those Gale Realm bastards know the might of our Nethercloud Sect!”

If there was one faction Ye Yuan identified with most, it was the Nethercloud Sect.

So instead of raising the banner of Wufang City, he led a group of not-so-strong fellow disciples to counterattack from a desperate position!

“Long live the Nethercloud Sect!”

“Long live the Nethercloud Sect!”

…

Despite their hardships, these fellow disciples still had a strong sense of belonging to the sect.

Now, with the sect rebuilt, they were all extremely excited.

After the excitement, Long Tang said, “Ye Yuan, since we’re rebuilding the Nethercloud Sect, the position of sect master is yours by right!”

Long Tang’s words immediately received agreement from the fellow disciples.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, “How about this: I’ll act as interim sect master. We’ll head toward Wufang City while inquiring about the Nethercloud Sect. When Sect Master Luo returns, he can take back the position!”

Since Wufang City had fallen, the newly rebuilt Nethercloud Sect had likely not escaped disaster.

Ye Yuan could only pray that his former fellow disciples were safe.

As long as they were alive, they would surely come to join once they heard news of the Nethercloud Sect.

Including those from Wufang City and the three major sects, they all knew he had close ties with the Nethercloud Sect.

Once the new Nethercloud Sect’s reputation spread, experts from the Boundless Realm would quickly come to join.

Then, small streams would converge into a vast ocean!

This outcome could be considered a rebirth through destruction.

Long Tang nodded. “Good, let’s do that! Sect Master, what’s our first step? Though we’re all eager to fight, our strength is still too weak!”

Long Tang was a calm man, not swept away by Ye Yuan’s return.

Ye Yuan was just one person, but the Gale Realm had billions of warriors.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t kill them all.

Ye Yuan smiled. “First step: improve our strength! Long Tang, I see you’re only a step away from the Soul Sea realm. I have some pills here; distribute them to the fellow disciples and strive to break through as soon as possible. Ye Qing, guard me; I need to go into seclusion for two days!”

“Alright, no problem!” Ye Qing said.

Ye Yuan took out some pills and gave them to Long Tang, then with a thought, entered the Haotian Tower.

This action naturally caused surprise, but after Yue Mengli explained, everyone calmed down, gaining more confidence in Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan’s methods were always endless!

Ye Yuan had set up a alchemy room in the Haotian Tower for Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan to cultivate.

After entering the Haotian Tower, Ye Yuan went directly to the alchemy room and waved his hand, producing a large batch of spiritual herbs.

He was no pushover; before leaving the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain, he had plundered a large amount of spiritual herbs from the Tiger and Roc clans.

His strength was still somewhat weak; he planned to refine a batch of pills to directly break through to the peak of the Soul Sea ninth level!

Moreover, he had used the Chaos Crystal last time, with two-thirds of the time still unused.

Ye Yuan intended to use this time to break through his realm in one go!
