Moreover, after that, under Ye Luo’s guidance, the Sect Leader of the Infinity Sect reached the Heavenly Martial Realm, and subsequently raised his cultivation to the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, making him a formidable figure locally, which naturally nobody wanted to provoke.
After all, destroying the Infinity Sect might be easy, but killing the Sect Leader would be difficult. If a strong figure like the Sect Leader were to escape, it would mean endless retaliation from him.
Moreover, Qiong Yao was within the Infinity Sect. Her body refinement techniques, inherited from the senior Yu Ji Zi, had already broken through the Heavenly Martial Realm, making her much stronger than the Sect Leader. With these two experts supporting, the Infinity Sect flourished for a time!
It was at this time that the Great Crown Prince sent someone to inquire about events, and it was then that Ye Luo received the message.
However, after that, the power of the King of Huainan emerged. The nobility, unlike other sect forces, had reached an extreme level!
No sect could contend with the nobility!
After all, the nobility’s army was enough to wipe out most sects.
Thus, the destruction of the Infinity Sect was a matter of ease.
"Oh? What about Qiong Yao now?" Ye Luo asked coldly.
If something had happened to Qiong Yao, he would risk his life to take the head of the King of Huainan.
"The Sect Leader has been imprisoned in a large cell, as for Fairy Qiong Yao!" said Xiao Wu, suddenly hesitating.
"What happened to Qiong Yao? Speak truthfully!" Ye Luo shot him a cold glance, and immediately, a thick killing intent emanated from him, causing Wu Xia to tremble violently.
"Reporting to you, my lord, it’s said that a young master of the King of Huainan has taken a liking to Fairy Qiong Yao, and intends to form a Dao Companion with her in a few days!" Xiao Wu immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo’s killing intent intensified.
"Take me there!"
"My lord, that young master’s cultivation is terrifyingly high. It’s rumored he’s already beyond the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, and this time he brought a personal guard army with him. I fear for your safety, my lord!" Xiao Wu said worriedly.
Of course, Xiao Wu couldn’t discern Ye Luo’s current cultivation level. To his knowledge, a cultivator beyond the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm was already like a deity.
"Take me there. Don’t worry about anything else!" Ye Luo said with a frown, clearly a bit impatient.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu had no choice but to lead the way.
Ling’er had a hesitant expression but eventually followed as well.
Her cultivation had long since reached the Heavenly Martial Realm. When at the Demon God’s Hall, Ling’er couldn’t help, because the strong there were close to the Martial King Realm. But this place was different; it was a relatively remote area of the third faction, where a cultivator of the Heavenly Martial Realm was already considered a strong figure.
The group moved swiftly, but Xiao Wu, having previously experienced combat and being of low realm, was seriously injured and couldn’t keep up with Ye Luo’s speed.
Seeing this, Ye Luo used mana to envelop Xiao Wu, immediately increasing their speed, which left Xiao Wu astounded, unable to comprehend Ye Luo’s power.
A few hours later, Ye Luo arrived at the dwelling of the young master of the King of Huainan as directed by Xiao Wu.
This young master was quite capable, dismissing a local great sect and turning its palatial halls into his residence.
Blame the sect for courting disaster; they had spent unknown amounts of crystal stones to erect an extravagant palatial complex, only for it to become a wedding dress for this young master.
Outside the palace, about a hundred soldiers were patrolling. These soldiers were generally of the Earth Martial Realm. Although such a realm wasn’t remarkable, the problem was there were about a hundred of them, and this was only part of the army. Imagine, if there were a thousand Earth Martial Realm cultivators, what kind of power would they unleash!
No wonder the nobility was so arrogant.
"You two, stay hidden here. I’ll go alone!" After saying this, Ye Luo disappeared from sight.
Although Ye Luo was anxious, he understood that now was not the time for recklessness. He wasn’t afraid of the personal guard army, but being surrounded by them would still pose some trouble in escaping.
Moreover, the young master of the King of Huainan wasn’t an ordinary playboy; with a high status, he naturally had experts protecting him.
Thus, he set his sights on the patrolling guards.
These guards patrolled not only outside the city but had to move within as well. Very easily, Ye Luo controlled a guard since his Divine Soul was extremely strong. Controlling an Earth Martial Realm soldier was as easy as eating and drinking.
After changing into a soldier’s attire, he joined the patrol team. The soldiers were not particularly familiar with each other, so seeing the attire intact, no one questioned it.
Soon after, Ye Luo slipped into the city.
Originally, this was a complex of palaces, but the young master had added a wall outside, forcibly turning it into a fortress.
The advantage of such an arrangement is that it facilitates the soldiers’ patrols.
Upon entering the city, a clamor erupted from the distance. As Ye Luo cast his gaze, his expression immediately darkened.
The nobility valued ostentation, and today was the day that young master was to form a Dao Companion!
And, of course, the target of his companionship was Qiong Yao.
At this moment, Qiong Yao sat on a chair. Ye Luo could easily see she was controlled by Great Magical Power, her body nearly immobilized, and as for mana, she couldn’t utilize it at all.
However, Ye Luo felt slightly at ease, at least Qiong Yao was still alive. And as Xiao Wu had mentioned earlier, the nobility acted according to rules; before a Dao Companion ceremony, the couple was not allowed intimate contact!
Thus, Ye Luo patrolled the vicinity with the guards.
All around were well-wishers, including representatives from local powers and distant forces that traveled from afar, as the Dao Companion ceremony of the young master of King of Huainan was no small affair.
Of course, some people noticed it wasn’t held in King of Huainan’s mansion, suggesting the King might not support this event much.
However, regardless, the position of the young master of King of Huainan was enough for these people to curry favor.
Clearly, the young master also wanted to use this opportunity to reap substantial benefits; after all, those coming to congratulate would certainly bring valuable gifts.
At the center of the crowd was a giant altar, festively decorated. Even Ye Luo had to admit the nobility loved to indulge; the altar was entirely built from crystal stone!
In short, every adornment was remarkably opulent!
A sudden cheer erupted from the crowd as the young master of King of Huainan stepped out from among them.
