CHAPTER 712: CHAPTER 712: INVENTORY RESOURCES, GIVE OPINIONS!

It is estimated that in the future, the strength of the Elder Council will need to be enhanced by a notch, otherwise Ye Feng would feel that the current Elder Council is somewhat insufficient.

Indeed, as things have developed, the Elder Council has surpassed 100 members, heading towards 120.

Once it grows to 120, Ye Feng plans to raise the elders’ strength to the Intermediate Martial God level.

In the future, to become an elder, one must possess the strength of an Intermediate Martial God.

Simultaneously, above the elders, the Elder Council will be established.

The requirements for the Elder Council are even higher, they must be at the peak of a Senior Martial God, with ten seats established for the elders to compete for.

Thus, the Elder Council plus the elders will have 130 seats, relying on competition hereafter.

To gain an elder seat in the future, the minimum requirement is the strength of an Intermediate Martial God, and to join the Elder Council, one must be at the peak of a Senior Martial God.

Of course, the Ye Family currently doesn’t possess such strength, they will try to fill in the lineup later on.

Once such a lineup is formed, the Ye Family’s strength would be even more terrifying than the Zhang Family or the Shi Family.

Integrating these hundred people into the Ye Family, the major family clans, and cultivators from all over the country had nearly all gathered.

The Shi Family Patriarch appeared magnificently with the entire Shi Family.

The Zhang Family from Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Miao Family also rushed to the Ye Family desperately, obeying the Ye Family’s command.

Simultaneously, members of the four major first-class families, under the leadership of their senior family members, arrived at the Ye Family.

At this moment, the cultivators and families gathered at the Ye Family became extremely formidable.

However, even with such a lineup, Ye Feng still felt a bit uneasy.

From Ye Feng’s perspective, since the Celestial Punishment Association and the Zhang Family had been preparing for so long, they certainly wouldn’t be so vulnerable, they definitely had many preparations.

Therefore, Ye Feng must enhance the Ye Family’s strength and elevate the overall strength of the Ye Family to a new level.

Moreover, not just these families and cultivators, even the Divine Dragon Guard received the message and brought their people to the Ye Family.

Under the leadership of the Dragon God and the Old Dragon God, the elite of the Divine Dragon Guard all arrived at the Ye Family.

Those at the Martial God level and above, the Divine Dragon Guard now has more than twenty people.

The quasi-Martial Gods number at a hundred within the Divine Dragon Guard.

There are over two hundred in the state of Half-step Martial Gods within the Divine Dragon Guard, making this lineup already quite staggering.

Frankly speaking, after the previous assistance from Ye Feng, the overall strength of the Divine Dragon Guard was enough to contend with first-class families, and even surpass some first-class families.

After all parties had arrived, Ye Feng gathered the main figures among them and started their first joint meeting.

At the joint meeting, the Dragon God and Old Dragon God represented the Divine Dragon Guard.

The Shi Family Patriarch, the Supreme Elder of the Shi Family, and the Grand Elder of the Shi Family represented the Shi Family attendance.

The Zhang Family Patriarch from Dragon Tiger Mountain had one seat, the Miao Family Patriarch had one seat, and each of the major first-class families occupied one seat.

Additionally, each of the major second-class families chose two representatives, and each of the third-class families chose two representatives.

The remaining were the scattered cultivators, choosing three representatives.

A total of fifteen people, plus five from the Ye Family, formed a deliberative body of twenty to discuss the subsequent strategies.

...

While Ye Feng and others were having their meeting, a gloomy gaze from afar was fixed on Ye Feng, filled with endless anger.

This person was Hu Heng, and upon seeing Ye Feng, he was preparing to seek revenge.

However, when he learned that the Ye Family’s Patriarch was Ye Feng, whose strength is terrifyingly at the peak Martial God level, he immediately cowered.

Nonetheless, he did not just let it go.

While Ye Feng and others were holding the meeting, Hu Heng took the opportunity to escape the Ye Family without being discovered, going against his master’s will.

His goal was very clear, to flee to the Zhang Family, to help them deal with the Ye Family, thereby gaining his chance for revenge.

In his view, campaigning against the Celestial Punishment Association, preventing them from entering the Dragon Country, and clearing out Dragon Country’s traitors like the Zhang Family, had nothing to do with him.

In his heart, there was only a very strong hatred. He desperately wanted to find Ye Feng for revenge; only by taking down Ye Feng could he feel at ease and happy.

...

As Hu Heng escaped the Ye Family, the Ye Family’s meeting was already underway.

Addressing the current situation, Ye Feng offered several pieces of advice: "Everyone present should be aware of the purpose of our gathering here."

"So, please report the powers you have tallied so that I can prepare in my mind."

"Yes! My Hao Family...."

...

Under Ye Feng’s inquiry, the representatives of the major families and the idle cultivators reported their compiled data.

Listening to the compiled data, Ye Feng was somewhat shocked.

Among them, the Shi Family was undoubtedly the strongest, possessing three peak Martial God-level experts, and with the Eighteen Arhat Array and the Vajra Demon Suppression Array, enough to confront two peak Martial Gods.

This indicates that the Shi Family possesses the combat power equivalent to five peak Martial God-levels.

Simultaneously, the Shi Family also has thirty-five high-level Martial Gods, eighty intermediate-level Martial Gods, and over a hundred junior-level Martial Gods.

They have over three hundred quasi-Martial Gods, and over five hundred Half-step Martial Gods, illustrating the Shi Family’s incredibly strong power.

As for those below the quasi-Martial God level, they weren’t counted.

Apart from the Shi Family, the rest seem rather lacking by comparison.

The four major first-class families originally had high-level Martial God combatants, but because they were coerced by the Zhang Family, their combat power significantly decreased.

Combined, the four major first-class families possess fifteen intermediate-level Martial Gods, eighty junior-level Martial Gods, six hundred quasi-Martial Gods, and eleven hundred Half-step Martial Gods.

The Divine Dragon Guard has two high-level Martial Gods, with the Dragon God reaching the high-level Martial God realm.

There are three intermediate-level Martial Gods, eighteen junior-level Martial Gods, a hundred quasi-Martial Gods, and over two hundred Half-step Martial Gods within the Divine Dragon Guard.

Beyond these, the rest are even more inadequate.

The second-class families only possess quasi-Martial Gods and Half-step Martial Gods, and in pitifully small numbers.

As for the third-class families, they aren’t even qualified to participate in the battle, as the rule set by Ye Feng requires participants to have at least a Half-step Martial God level.

The loose cultivators are even worse off, essentially nonexistent in this context.

Having obtained accurate numbers, Ye Feng nodded, reporting the Ye Family’s situation: "Currently, my Ye Family has approximately four peak Martial God combatants, eleven high-level Martial Gods, fifty intermediate-level Martial Gods, and sixty junior-level Martial Gods."

"The combat power of the quasi-Martial Gods is over five hundred, while the Half-step Martial Gods number over a thousand."

"Even with this strength, I feel it’s rather unreliable. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing the report from Ye Feng, everyone participating in the meeting was stunned.

"What? The Ye Family’s basic combat power is this terrifying? With nearly two thousand quasi and Half-step Martial Gods?"

"My God! The Ye Family’s foundation surpasses the Shi and Zhang Families, though it still lacks top-tier combat power."

"But it’s close. Following the Ye Family’s growth rate, it wouldn’t be long before they catch up with the Shi and Zhang Families, right?"

In shock, they all looked at Ye Feng with incredulous expressions, eager to join the Ye Family themselves.

Even the three from the Shi Family were somewhat shaken, astounded by the Ye Family’s lineup of quasi and Half-step Martial Gods.
