The disciples of the Cold Sect started discussing.

Although they called it a discussion, Wang Ye didn't really give them a choice.

Just a few words from Wang Ye had already turned the nature of the Cold Sect disciples' visit to the Ice Sect into a forced threat.

So at this moment, they had no other choice.

They could only agree.

The so-called discussion was merely to force those Cold Sect disciples who were unwilling to comply to agree.

After all, those Cold Sect disciples knew their weak strength, and knew that they could not possibly obtain the eligibility to compete with Wang Ye based on the arena rules, so they would refuse.

But for the sake of the Cold Sect's reputation, they couldn't refuse.

Soon.

The Cold Sect quickly reached an agreement.

Dao Cheng looked at Wang Ye, his gaze still filled with some apprehension, but he finally spoke up: "Our Cold Sect has agreed to your arrangements."

"Brother Dao Cheng truly is a leader in the Cold Sect, managing to persuade everyone in the Cold Sect so swiftly."

Dao Cheng's face stiffened.

Earlier, his forceful persuasion of the disagreeing disciples in the Cold Sect was witnessed by many, including Wang Ye.

With Wang Ye's current words, he was clearly being sarcastic.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely retort, but now, recalling Wang Ye's demeanor when speaking to him earlier, he didn't dare to say anything further to Wang Ye.

"Hehe, it is Prince Wang's well-devised plan that made agreement so reassuring."

Dao Cheng felt like his smile was frozen on one side of his face, looking very forced.

...

With matters settled.

After Wang Ye finished discussing the rules with Dao Cheng, he returned to the Ice Sect straight away.

According to the setup, the arena competition among the Cold Sect disciples, to select the final person, would likely take half a month.

During this time, Wang Ye was confident that he could further enhance his prowess.

Wang Ye walked alongside Lin Shuang, who still looked concerned.

Though other disciples of the Ice Sect were happy, Lin Shuang knew Wang Ye's actions brought only some benefits to the Ice Sect and created conflicts due to internal competition within the Cold Sect.

It didn't substantially benefit Wang Ye.

It merely bought Wang Ye time for half a month.

But half a month isn't much for Wang Ye to significantly improve.

So how would Wang Ye handle the Cold Sect disciples after this time?

Lin Shuang's beautiful eyes, filled with concern, held a special charm as she gently spoke to Wang Ye:

"Wang Ye, what are your plans after half a month?"

She looked at Wang Ye with some hope.

Believing Wang Ye to be smart, she thought he surely had a solution.

"Plans? Of course, to defeat those fellows as I said earlier. Whoever wins the arena, remains till the end, I'll just defeat them," Wang Ye answered as if it were obvious.

"But..."

Lin Shuang wanted to speak but hesitated.

If she voiced her concerns, it would imply a lack of trust in Wang Ye.

Wang Ye, however, seemed indifferent, knowing his current strength was relatively weak.

Not even Lin Shuang imagined his strength would quickly escalate; even Wang Ye lacked confidence.

But this was the best plan he could find at the moment.

"Alright."

Wang Ye patted Lin Shuang's hesitant shoulder, showing no signs of discouragement; instead, he confidently said:

"All we have to do is our best, and leave the rest to fate."

Leave everything to fate?

Lin Shuang glanced up at the sky.

Given Wang Ye's excellence.

Perhaps even the heavens would side with Wang Ye, assisting him.

"Let's go see Elder Meng."

Wang Ye and Lin Shuang hurried towards Meng Qian.

Lin Shuang's speed was much faster than Wang Ye's, but to accommodate him, she moved at his pace; otherwise, she would've arrived at the inner chamber much earlier.

While Wang Ye and Lin Shuang were en route, Elder Meng emerged, grabbing both of them.

Given Meng Qian's strength, Wang Ye and Lin Shuang had no chance to react, easily captured by Meng Qian.

Meng Qian took them straight to the inner chamber.

Ripping through the void.

Usually, making Wang Ye and Lin Shuang travel naturally serves to train them.

Yet given the urgency, Meng Qian transported them directly through space to the inner chamber.

In the inner chamber, they had issues to discuss with Wang Ye.

Previously, Wang Ye could enter the inner chamber due to his status as Prince Wang.

And now, even without the title "Saint Heir," Ice Sect Elders still supported Wang Ye's entry to participate in Sect meetings.

No other reason.

Wang Ye's displayed abilities today had earned the Ice Sect Elders' recognition.

...

Inner chamber.

All the Elders looked at Wang Ye with praise.

"Wang Ye, your performance today was excellent."

"Since the decline of the Ice Sect and the rise of the Cold Sect, we've never gained the upper hand in clashes with the Cold Sect. But today, you allowed the Ice Sect to hold an advantage. Well done, Wang Ye!"

"Pride and dignity, such pride and dignity indeed!"

"I feel with Wang Ye here, our Ice Sect might soon reverse the tide against the Cold Sect, completely overcoming them."

Each Elder praised Wang Ye.

For worthy words, they were unsparing.

Today, Wang Ye addressed more than just a few Cold Sect disciples.

But the entirety of the Cold Sect.

It could be said that in a few words, Wang Ye shattered the painstakingly constructed setup of the Cold Sect.

In the time that follows, to restore their previous image among the Spiritual Star Cultivators, it would likely take a long time.
