Chapter 520: Fame Spreads Far and Wide

The entire venue fell silent.

Lan Feng's performance had thoroughly stunned these Divine Travel realm experts.

In the battle just now, aside from the initial surprise attack, there was no trickery whatsoever.

And Song Fei's own lack of focus was itself a major taboo in combat; no one would sympathize with a loser.

Song Fei, an elite from a powerful sect in the Northern Domain, had actually lost to this rustic, dirt-poor martial artist from the Gale Realm. Were all martial artists from the Gale Realm this formidable?

These big shots all furrowed their brows, their expressions indescribably grave.

"Heh, you can't even beat my slave. Who was boasting now? Are you sure that with just you people, you can drive back all those Divine Travel realm experts from the Gale Realm?" Ye Yuan taunted.

At this, those who had been shouting the loudest wisely shut their mouths.

Earlier, they had clamored that the Gale Realm martial artists were no match.

But now, this slap in the face was truly resounding!

Wu Rong, however, refused to give up. He said in a deep voice, "Could this slave of yours have pulled some trick, or is he an exceptionally powerful existence among the Gale Realm martial artists?"

Wu Rong's question was also on everyone's mind. One powerful martial artist was not terrifying; what was terrifying was if all of them were this powerful!

If all Gale Realm martial artists were this strong, then the Boundless Realm was truly in danger.

Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. "Although my slave has some skill, he is by no means among the strongest at the same cultivation level. At best, he's average. If you don't believe me, feel free to use the methods you mentioned earlier and charge straight over to wipe out the Gale Realm martial artists in the Southern Domain."

Ye Yuan's words struck like thunderbolts, shattering everyone's hopes.

Ye Yuan was not exaggerating; Lan Feng's strength was not particularly remarkable in the Gale Realm.

The Lan brothers were no match for Ye Yuan, but that didn't mean they were no match for other Boundless Realm martial artists.

Back in the secret realm, neither Mei Zhen nor Tianqian Sect's Wu Zhao could defeat the Lan brothers.

And the combat prowess of Mei Zhen and Wu Zhao was by no means inferior to that of Song Fei.

So Song Fei's defeat was only to be expected.

"Ye Yuan, do you mean... that the overall strength of Gale Realm martial artists surpasses that of our Boundless Realm?" Ning Yixian asked in a deep voice.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "What you all said earlier was correct. The Gale Realm has scarce resources, and in areas with fierce gales, even Wind Emperors dare not enter. But it is precisely this environment that has forged the strength of Gale Realm martial artists..."

Ye Yuan spoke eloquently, picking out some of his experiences in the Gale Realm to share, which only made their brows furrow even deeper.

According to Ye Yuan, Gale Realm martial artists had a natural understanding of the Wind Intent; almost every martial artist had a deep comprehension of it.

Thus, the movement speed of Gale Realm martial artists was much faster than that of the Boundless Realm.

Moreover, tempered by the fierce winds, their yuan power was purer, and with their fierce folk customs, the overall strength of Gale Realm martial artists was considerably higher than that of the Boundless Realm.

Under such circumstances, if the Boundless Realm chose to fight head-on, they would have no chance of victory.

Ning Yixian and the other three exchanged glances, all sensing the gravity in each other's eyes.

They had briefly communicated with Ye Yuan yesterday and knew that the Gale Realm was powerful, but they only had a rough impression, far less impactful than the battle between Lan Feng and Song Fei just now.

Precisely because they knew the Gale Realm's strength, the four of them had deliberately let Ye Yuan provoke these sect leaders to prevent them from underestimating the enemy.

Little did they expect that even they themselves would be shocked.

Song Fei, as an elite of his sect, was not weak in strength, yet he still lost to Lan Feng.

Lan Feng's precise grasp of the battle situation sent chills down everyone's spines.

This martial artist seemed born for battle. If all Gale Realm people were like this...

They dared not think further about what would happen next.

"By now, everyone should have a very直观 understanding of the Gale Realm martial artists' strength. Ye Yuan has not deceived you; he indeed ventured deep into the Gale Realm to rescue his fellow disciples. Now, in the entire Boundless Realm, no one knows the Gale Realm better than him! And I know many of you regard the Southern Domain as a barbaric land and don't care about the situation there. But I must tell you, Ye Yuan once led the Nethercloud Sect in the Southern Domain to defeat the Purple Firmament Sect three times, killing three of their Soul Sea realm experts, thereby buying time for our Northern Domain meeting! Otherwise... some of you here might have already seen your sects destroyed!" Ning Yixian's voice was thunderous, striking everyone's hearts.

Only then did these sect leaders learn of the many twists and turns in between, and who Ye Yuan was.

They might not care about matters in the Southern Domain, but many of them had already heard of the Nethercloud Sect's reputation.

The news that the Nethercloud Sect had decisively destroyed the Heavenly Evil Sect, and that a mere Sea Transformation realm youth had killed Soul Sea realm Mao Yuanji, had spread like wildfire.

Those present were all prominent figures in the Northern Domain with well-informed sources, so they naturally knew this news.

But they never expected that the youth from the Nethercloud Sect was the very person before them!

Even less did they expect that Ye Yuan, without their knowledge, had already done so much for the Boundless Realm.

Three defeats of the Purple Firmament Sect—how had this kid managed that?

He was truly an enigma!

Wu Rong, however, frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit alarmist? Even if the Gale Realm martial artists are strong, we have our own advantages. Our sects are no pushovers either; they can't just crush us whenever they want!"

In truth, Wu Rong's words lacked confidence, but having a Sea Transformation realm brat lord it over him still rankled.

This time, Jing Xuan said coldly, "Alarmist? Old man Wu, do you even believe what you're saying? As far as I know, the Gale Realm has already sent five peak Divine Travel realm experts into the Southern Domain! Is it alarmist? Everyone can judge for themselves!"

"What? Five peak Divine Travel realm experts! How is that possible?"

Jing Xuan's words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. Wu Rong stared at Jing Xuan, his face full of disbelief.

Five peak Divine Travel realm experts—such strength was terrifying!

After all, in the Northern Domain, only the patriarchs of the three great sects were at the peak Divine Travel realm.

Was the current situation three against five?

Ning Yixian cast a contemptuous glance at Wu Rong and said flatly, "Impossible? Do you think the three of us have been sitting around eating idle rice all these days? Besides, the Southern Domain hasn't blocked the news; it's not hard to find out. Unfortunately, Old Hai has been missing for a long time with no news, and Old Duan is a free spirit, elusive as a dragon. If those two were here, our chances of victory would be much greater."
