Ye Fan was aggressive at the moment, making Hua Wu very uncomfortable to listen to.

Previously just a mere horsekeeper for the Tianxuan Sect, now he dared to threaten and shout at her. She wanted to confront Ye Fan head-on, to see if his cultivation truly reached the mid-Mahayana Realm, but she also had to consider the overall situation of the Tianxuan Sect.

Even the Diyuan Sect had been subdued by Ye Fan. To fight against him would be courting disaster.

Hua Wu said with a dark face, "Tianxuan Sect is willing to face the heavenly tribulation alongside the seven major sects."

With one sentence, Ye Fan had essentially subdued all the forces of the seven major sects. Although many were unwilling to take orders from such a young man like Ye Fan, they had to admit that ceasing hostilities was the most responsible approach for both the seven major sects and all living beings.

Within the Tianxuan Sect, Jing Ya and Master Hui Ning, among others, wore expressions of reluctance, but even if they were pretending, they had to appear as if they were abiding by Ye Fan, the new Alliance Hierarch of the seven major sects.

Hai Wuzi, Sect Master of the Xinghe Sect, came over and said, "Now that Young Hero Ye has united the seven major sects, do you intend to change the sect names and establish a new sect with these seven sects?"

This was the concern of those present. Ye Fan now had ambitious intentions, and with the integration of the seven major sects by him, the dispersed power of these sects might vanish, leaving only one new major sect.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Fan to express his stance.

Ye Fan said, "I aim to unite the forces of the seven major sects, not establish a new faction. You may return to your secret realm mountain gates, but in times of trouble or crisis, I will send personnel to relay messages. If there are further incidents of internal killing or conflicts among sects, I will unite other sects to suppress them!"

"Good." Hai Wuzi nodded, satisfied with Ye Fan's attitude.

By not interfering with the daily operations of the original sects and only bringing them together in significant matters, Ye Fan's position as "Alliance Hierarch" wouldn't be too prominent.

However, the people of the Anyu Sect immediately reminded, "Young Hero Ye, you just let us return, and we at Anyu Sect will certainly comply with your commands. But how will you ensure that significant sects like Huangze Sect and Tianxuan Sect won't go back on their word? Some rules must be clearly established, or else... we fear problems might arise in the future."

Many nodded in agreement, still not fully confident in Ye Fan's prestige and strength.

After all, Ye Fan was merely someone with cultivation similar to Huang Ze, not even at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Why should others obey Ye Fan's commands?

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Some rules indeed must be established. Let me first declare, if anyone disrupts this alliance or secretly plots, it would be a suicidal act. All of you will join me in uniting against them. What do you all think?"

Currently, there is no strong arbitrator to determine if any sect has violated the agreement. Ye Fan's words were merely a compromise.

"As Young Hero Ye stated, let's proceed as such." Except for the members of Huangze Sect and Tianxuan Sect, the rest were relatively convinced by the major rules set by Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "Let's trouble Sect Master Hai, Sect Master Huang, and Sect Master Hua to act as supervisors. Whether there is a breach, you three experienced sect masters will decide!"

Apart from Ye Fan, this temporary "Alliance Hierarch," he wanted Hai Wuzi, Huang Ze, and Hua Wu to act as "elders." In this way, a council-like structure would form when issues arose. With Huangze Sect opposing Tianxuan Sect, Huang Ze and Hua Wu's views would diverge. Even if they united, with Hai Wuzi supporting Ye Fan, Ye Fan's one vote would nearly count as two, granting him sufficient influence.

"That seems good." Seeing no one else spoke, Hai Wuzi stepped forward, acting as the host of the situation, "Young Hero Ye, what should we do now?"

Ye Fan said, "You all came to Earth merely to discuss the truce. With matters settled now, you may rest on Earth for another day. I'll send a missive tomorrow, and you can return home. As for Tai Ning... I will personally visit Tianxuan Sect to discuss this with Sect Master Hua!"

Hua Wu clenched her fists but ultimately nodded, "Then I shall await Young Hero Ye at the mountain gate."

Even Hua Wu now referred to Ye Fan as "Young Hero Ye", indicating her resentment, yet she dared not openly break with him. Hua Wu gestured and said, "Let's go!"

After speaking, she first led the Tianxuan Sect people away from the beach. The remaining representatives from various sects awaited Ye Fan's instructions. Ye Fan ordered the gate to be opened, and the sects departed through the entrance, with minibuses prepared outside for their transportation. Sun Ning personally sent drivers to pick them up.

Huang Ze's face was the darkest. Unlike Tianxuan Sect, which surrendered willingly, he had been forced to surrender after being defeated by Ye Fan. Now severely injured, Huangze Sect was vulnerable without him. Should Tianxuan Sect attack or Ye Fan decide to eliminate Huangze Sect, they had little ability to resist.

"Sect Master Huang, I hope you will honor the agreement, or else... haha." Ye Fan said with a smile.

Huang Ze replied with a sullen face, "No need for Young Hero Ye to remind me, this sect master knows what to do. Young Hero Ye should ensure the Tianxuan Sect is managed well, lest they play foul tricks behind our backs."

Even at this time, Huang Ze did not miss an opportunity to sow discord in front of Ye Fan.

Ye Fan smiled and clasped his hands, "Thank you for the reminder, Sect Master Huang. Come, escort Sect Master Huang back!"

...

...

Only after all the sect members had left did Ye Fan adjust his emotions and return to the villa.

Ye Fan had informed members of the six major sects of his residence so they could contact him if necessary. With his current cultivation level, he no longer worried about being ambushed; with Lan Jing and Sang Yuan as assistants, any assailant would find it difficult to even approach the villa.

Upon entering, Li Zhaojun approached with concern, "Ye Fan, are you alright?"

"Of course, I'm fine." Ye Fan replied with a smile, wrapping Li Zhaojun's slender waist and embracing her, "How was your husband's performance just now?"

Li Zhaojun rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to become so cocky. I was worried something might happen to you."

"What could happen to me? With my current cultivation, it's on a whole different level." Ye Fan said with a smile.

Li Zhaojun furrowed her brows and said, "That's what's strange to me; how did you advance so much after being gone for just a while..."

"It's not that I suddenly advanced, but I had hidden my strength previously. I intentionally showed my Nascent Soul cultivation to others, so they still thought I was at the early Integration Realm, which made them less guarded against me." Ye Fan explained, "If they had known I had reached the Mahayana Realm from the start, they would have been cautious around me; how could I have accomplished anything?"

Li Zhaojun's expression changed and she said, "So you even fooled me?"

"I didn't intentionally hide it from you, Zhao Jun. Actually, I..." Ye Fan, thinking Li Zhaojun was upset, quickly explained.

Li Zhaojun smiled and said, "It's only right that you do great things outside. There's no need to explain to me. What you've done is all for attaining a peaceful life for us!"
