Among the six major sects on the beach, five have already aligned with Ye Fan. Even if Dimensional Sect hasn't yet, Sect Master Ling and her two attendants have been captured by Ye Fan, leaving Dimensional Sect severely weakened and no longer a threat to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "I have no intention of reckless actions. With seven major sects united, the heavenly tribulation will be no great obstacle, but if the seven continue to fight amongst themselves, it will be mutual destruction. Does Tianxuan Sect truly wish to go against the welfare of all beings in the secret realm?"

Hua Wu coldly said, "Qing Neng, you grow more brazen. Can you speak so with this Sect Master?"

Wu Ding quickly explained, "Master, perhaps junior brother is also considering the Pangu secret realm. You know he's always out of seclusion and not covetous for power."

"Even if he doesn't covet power, he's already forcing other sects to obey him, which is an act of dominance." Master Hui Ning said, "Rebel, if you repent, your master will not hold it against you!"

Ye Fan laughed and asked, "How should I repent? By returning to the sect and making all sects revere Tianxuan Sect?"

With one sentence, he uncovered Tianxuan Sect's intentions. Although they desperately tried to conceal their ambition to dominate the seven major sects, from the moment Ye Fan arrived in Pangu secret realm, they had been secretly collaborating with Dimensional Sect, and even Zhuo Junwu's disappearance was tied to Tianxuan Sect.

Among the members of Tianxuan Sect, some were accusing Ye Fan, while others were scolding him. The scene was chaotic, and Hua Wu was watching Ye Fan warily as if ready to confront him at any moment.

But even Hua Wu had no confidence in defeating Ye Fan, as she was merely an early-stage Great Ascension cultivator, and even mid-stage Great Ascension Huang Ze had been defeated by Ye Fan.

"I'll still call you Ye Fan." Hua Wu spoke, "You renounce the sect, so you are a mundane person in the world. You say you want to unify the seven sects; even if Tianxuan Sect is at your command, what of it? Do you want to use the power of the six major sects to counter Dimensional Sect? How is that different from mutual destruction?"

Ye Fan said, "If I were to capture the Sect Master of Dimensional Sect, what would Sect Master Hua think?"

Hua Wu slightly shook her head, obviously not believing Ye Fan could capture Sect Master Ling of Dimensional Sect. She shook her head and said, "If you can capture Sect Master Ling, then Tianxuan Sect not only is at your command but would leap into fire and water for you!"

"Very well." Ye Fan nodded, "Bring the Sect Master of Dimensional Sect here!"

As Ye Fan's voice fell, the entire beach fell silent. They had witnessed Ye Fan's arrogance before, but they did not expect him to be so boastful and conceited.

Master Hui Ning angrily said, "You brat, are you crazy? The Sect Master of Dimensional Sect is someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage; what ability do you have to capture Sect Master Ling?"

Others were also discussing, especially those who had joined Ye Fan. They were either forced or had pretended to join Ye Fan but did not expect Ye Fan to now boast about capturing the Sect Master of Dimensional Sect, making them think Ye Fan was a lunatic.

But soon, the beach fell silent again, as everyone focused on the entrance gate at the beach.

The iron gate slowly opened, and out came four black-clad, masked cultivators. Their cultivation was unfathomable, even Hua Wu couldn't probe them, indicating their cultivation was above early-stage Great Ascension.

Accompanying these four cultivators was a person with a mask. This person was bound by spiritual energy, standing yet immobile, pushed into the view of the six major sects like a mummy.

"Who is she?" Many people wondered, but seeing the mask on her face, many immediately thought of Ling, whom they had seen at Royal Extreme Sect.

The four cultivators escorted Sect Master Ling to the center of the area, respectfully bowed to Ye Fan, and retreated to stand behind Sang Yuan.

Ye Fan walked to Sect Master Ling and, smiling at those present, said, "This is the Sect Master of Dimensional Sect I have captured, Sect Master Hua, do you have any objections?"

Jing Ya angrily said, "Brat, just because you say it, it is so?"

Hua Wu raised a hand to interrupt Jing Ya, personally approaching Ye Fan, her gaze never leaving Sect Master Ling's face. Upon examination, she found that the masked person before her had a cultivation far above hers, but was heavily injured, bound by special treasures and spiritual energy. With her prior contact and understanding with Sect Master Ling, this indeed was Ling.

"Ye Fan, how... did you capture her?" Hua Wu asked with a complicated expression.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "As for the specifics, I won't explain to Sect Master Hua, but I must ask about our previous agreement..."

"The agreement stands." Hua Wu said, "If you can capture Sect Master Ling, then wiping out the seven major sects would be a trivial matter for you, wouldn't it?"

With Hua Wu's words, those present were in shock.

Their gazes at Ye Fan were complicated. When they had come, they saw Ye Fan as an insignificant youth. They hadn't even cared when Ye Fan didn't enter the negotiation hall, thinking they only needed to settle the matter of Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun's allegiance, then abduct them later to justifiably possess the "chosen one."

When Ye Fan brought people, they saw him as a mere fool, thinking he overestimated himself by wanting to unify the seven sects.

Now their eyes were filled with shock and fear, realizing Ye Fan could capture the Sect Master of Dimensional Sect and had many powerful backers. Even if he couldn't wipe out the seven major sects, he could rival them, making Ye Fan's current identity incredibly daunting.

Facing Hua Wu's questioning, Ye Fan merely shook his head and said, "I never intended to wipe out the seven major sects, not even to kill Sect Master Ling. It's unrelated to sect grudges!"

Ye Fan deliberately emphasized sect grudges, intending to tell Hua Wu he was aware of their collusion with Dimensional Sect to kill his senior brother Zhou Xianyang of Lihuo Sect and kidnap his master Zhuo Junwu. But for the sake of the bigger picture, he wouldn't seek vengeance yet. However, once the heavenly tribulation matter was resolved, he would settle scores one by one.

"I underestimated you initially," Hua Wu said with a sorrowful smile, "When I first saw you, I thought you were an uncarved jade. Now I realize your heart and talent are equally high, and Tianxuan Sect is not a shackle that binds you."

Jing Ya came over and said, "Sect Master, we cannot submit to this brat!"

"Enough!" Hua Wu waved her hand, "Didn't we say before that he and Yun Zhao are chosen ones? Perhaps this is fate, heaven sent him to save the Pangu secret realm. What we do is simply comply with destiny. Do you wish to fight against the heavens?"

Ye Fan said, "Cultivating immortality is to go against heaven, so what's the harm in fighting against the heavens? But I'm not here to oppose the major sects in the Pangu secret realm. So now, I ask you once more, is Tianxuan Sect willing to join together against the heavenly tribulation?"

Ye Fan began to emanate spiritual energy, as if at any word of refusal from Hua Wu, he would annihilate Tianxuan Sect entirely!
