898: Chapter 0898: Contending with Heaven for Fate 898: Chapter 0898: Contending with Heaven for Fate The martial arts competition at Mount Tai had concluded, and Long Fei had overwhelmingly demonstrated his strength against the various factions.

The disciples of each house did not descend the mountain but stayed overnight on the mountain, preparing to heed Long Fei’s orders to enter the Secret Realm.

Of course, the most important thing was that Long Fei had Bald Dog arrange for wild buffalo meat.

This kind of Demonic Beast meat had only been eaten by members of the Dragon Group.

Fifty-year-old Moutai, foreign red wine, champagne, and whiskey were plentiful for the drinking—who would not take advantage of a good deal?

Shen Feng sat with Long Fei, toasted him, and said farewell, “Brother Long Fei, I am at ease with you as the Alliance Hierarch.

I will clarify everything with the higher-ups.

Yan’er and I must bid farewell to everyone, hoping that the next time we meet, we can still sit together and drink.”

Lin Yingying frowned and asked, “Where are you going?”

Shen Feng replied, “Mount Shu!”

He finished his drink and wiped the corner of his mouth, “My master had long called me back, but I have been occupied with Dragon Group affairs and could not leave.

Now that the Dragon Group is under Brother Long’s care, I can finally let go completely.”

Shen Yan’er sat beside him, silently and expressionless.

Although she had no feelings for Li Yunxiao, he was technically her fiancé.

Now that he was slain by Long Fei, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

At the moment that sword was thrust at Long Fei, she was actually quite worried, but it had to be done.

For her own reputation, she could no longer afford to be friends with Long Fei.

Long Fei took two pills from the Storage Ring, placed them in a porcelain bottle, and gave them to Shen Feng, “Brother Shen, no need to say more.

Take this small gift, it may be useful at a crucial time.”

Shen Feng did not refuse and graciously accepted it.

These were Fourth-grade Pills, and in Mount Shu, only one Elder could refine them.

Other members of the Dragon Group came forward to toast and bid farewell to Shen Feng.

Jiang Yunlan desperately stared at him, “Instructor, can you take me with you?”

Shen Feng smiled and shook his head, “Yunlan, work on your princess temperament.

You’re destined to be with Brother Long, so stay with him!”

Jiang Yunlan pouted in disappointment, amusing everyone around.

Initially, the Jiang Family was so powerful that it almost bankrupted Lin’s Group.

It took Long Fei and Chu Feng challenging the Jiang Family’s ancestral land before the Jiang Family yielded, and now it had become a subsidiary of Lin’s Group.

Jiang Yunlan harbored this grudge in her heart and resented Long Fei.

Yet fate played tricks, and in the end, she had to stick with him.

After three rounds of drinks, Shen Feng left with Shen Yan’er.

Lin Yingying jokingly whispered to Long Fei, “Didn’t you say, if Miss Shen became a widow, you would take care of her?”

Long Fei coughed dryly, it was just lip service; he wouldn’t dare bring another woman home.

He called everyone, including Chu Feng, to discuss entering the Secret Realm.

They sat around the bonfire in three or four circles, with Dragon Group and Tiger Alliance members in the inner circles and Loose Cultivators on the outside.

The cultivation levels of these Aristocratic Clan Descendants were mostly above the Core Formation Stage.

The Loose Cultivators were somewhat inferior, mostly at the Enlightenment Realm, with some at the Foundation Establishment Realm joining in for the excitement.

Fat Wang and a few others registered the disciples willing to follow Long Fei, totaling one hundred and twenty-three people.

Although their numbers were not many, and their cultivation levels not high,

in this world, they already represented one of the most formidable forces.

It should be noted that there were still tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Realm members of the Dragon Group Special Combat Team stationed in the Secret Realm.

According to the higher-ups, Long Fei was to lead this force.

Long Fei knew there were surely other conditions.

However, being able to integrate such a massive force, he was already quite satisfied.

As food and drink were consumed, the group’s conversation gradually increased.

Long Fei waved his hand to have everyone quiet down and spoke solemnly, “As you all know, in the next hundred or so years, our world will merge back with the Secret Realm.

I believe you all have some understanding of the situation in the Secret Realm.

The cultivators’ power is formidable, and demonic beasts roam freely; it is extremely dangerous.

To say that the two worlds could merge peacefully is something not even ghosts would believe.

Therefore, for the sake of our families and the world that nurtured us, we must forcefully seize this control.

Once the two worlds merge, we can ensure that the powers of the Secret Realm do not bring chaos to our world.”

The crowd nodded in agreement, but there was still a lack of confidence as they said, “Alliance Hierarch, the sects’ power in the Secret Realm is substantial, can we really oppose them?”

“Yes, Alliance Hierarch, with just this handful of us, are we truly their match?”

Even the members of the Dragon Group and Tiger Alliance lacked confidence.

Tang Shisan of the Dragon Group said, “Let’s not even talk about these sects, our Dragon Group Special Combat Team’s forward station in the Secret Realm has been swept by demonic beasts these days, and we’ll probably have to pull out.”

Long Fei knew that to rally the people’s hearts, he needed to fight a stunning battle of resurgence.

He stood up, looked around at everyone, and said, “I know, everybody inherently fears the Secret Realm, thinking that these Demon Clans and sects are invincible?”

Everyone hung their heads, implicitly accepting this fact.

Long Fei continued, “Indeed, the Cultivation World of the Secret Realm is powerful, and the Demon Realm is not to be underestimated.

But don’t forget, where there’s power, there’s strife.

These sects are not all united; they too engage in open and covert fights, each acting in their own interest.

If we step in, just maneuver strategically between alliances, we will be able to stabilize our footing and become an important force.”

He paused, allowing everyone to gather their thoughts before continuing, “Wolves roam the earth for their prey; dogs scavenge bones.

If you don’t have the ambition to compete with the heavens, you’d better go home and take care of your children.

Starting tomorrow, I will lead you to contend with the sects of the Secret Realm.

I want to ask you all, are you wolves or dogs?

Will you dare to fight shoulder to shoulder with me?”

“Of course, we are wolves!”

“We dare!”

“We’ll risk it all!”

“Let’s fight them!”

“I’m not afraid either!”

The crowd was fiery with enthusiasm, their fighting spirit high, as if clearing away their previous frustrations.

Long Fei raised his glass and declared, “Good, what I, Long Fei, need are brothers who aren’t afraid to die, warriors who dare to challenge the heavens.

I can tell you, with me, Long Fei, leading, from now on you will enjoy cultivation resources beyond your wildest dreams.

As long as we can fight and snatch, we won’t worry about lacking food.

Even if this meat is in someone else’s mouth, we must tear off a piece.”

“Long live the Alliance Hierarch!”

“Long live the Alliance Hierarch!”

“Long live the Alliance Hierarch!”

The crowd shouted in unison, smashing their wine bowls on the ground.

The people’s hearts were indeed with him!

Long Fei watched them, feeling a burst of satisfaction, and immediately instructed Hua Qianmo to bring up a hundred elite disciples of the Yin Yang Sect.

To integrate the forces, it was no longer feasible to use this scattered alliance approach; it was necessary to unify this power under one sect.

The Yin Yang Sect was the best choice; currently, he was the Sect Hierarch of the Yin Yang Sect, and absorbing these people into the Yin Yang Sect was completely justified.
