Why did Ye Luo come to the third faction? Wasn’t it to develop a power base?
Setting aside loyalty, as long as this faction can be used by him, the goal has already been achieved!
So these seven thousand people are enough for the Crown Prince’s standard.
Unexpectedly, the campaign of King of Huainan actually aided Ye Luo, as he established the Wudang Sect merely to complete the task!
Thus, Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t refuse such an opportunity.
Of course, even though the Cultivation World is a place where the weak are prey to the strong, Ye Luo has his own principles. For example, Qiankun Sect and Xiaoyao Sect have placed the hope of their sects’ survival on him, and he naturally strives to ensure these two sects survive!
As soon as Sect Master Han and Sect Leader Wang left, Ye Luo sat down cross-legged and began to operate the Secret Technique, and naturally, he wanted to contact the Crown Prince.
"Oh? Ye Luo, you know that this Secret Technique can only be used three times. Why are you using it so quickly to summon me? What exactly is the matter?"
The Crown Prince’s figure faintly appeared in front of Ye Luo.
"Crown Prince, I summon your appearance because I have completed the task!" Ye Luo said.
"Oh?" The Crown Prince’s eyes immediately lit up, "Then tell me, how has your power developed?"
Ye Luo smiled, "Seven thousand cultivators, one-third of them are at the Earth Martial Realm!"
This standard was agreed upon by Sect Master Han earlier.
"Hmm? You’ve developed to this extent in such a short time? Very good, Ye Luo, I indeed had not misjudged you!" The Crown Prince slowly nodded, "Since that’s the case, I have a new task for you. But I also know that in such a short time, you surely can’t have completely subdued those people. So, as such, I shall send you a grand gift! I will send an Emissary, with specific tasks and rewards, I’ll have the Emissary bring to you. This Secret Technique lasts for a short time and it’s difficult to explain clearly!"
Ye Luo immediately nodded, in fact, this Secret Technique also consumed quite a bit of his Divine Sense. Since the Emissary will be arriving, Ye Luo then interrupted the Secret Technique.
He just felt slightly disappointed; it seems the tasks from the Crown Prince are far from over!
However, he was curious why the Demon Queen hadn’t contacted him yet. If the Crown Prince’s tasks were too arduous, he would have to seek another path.
In the ensuing days, Ye Luo focused on cultivating, occasionally guiding the disciples, which was rather enjoyable, and there was no new news from Qiankun Sect either. After all, gathering seven thousand cultivators is not so easily done.
What Ye Luo truly awaited was the Emissary from the Crown Prince’s side! Because, if the Emissary doesn’t appear, he won’t know what the next step should be.
He estimated, that the Emissary should appear within these days, and although Demon God’s Inn is quite far from here, using the Transmission Array would be much quicker. Considering the Crown Prince’s status, using the Transmission Array rights is certainly within capability.
On this day, while cultivating in the main hall, Ye Luo suddenly opened his eyes to hear noises from the mountain gate.
"Report to the Sect Leader, there is a woman outside wishing to see the Sect Leader!" A disciple suddenly reported.
Ye Luo immediately stood up; this should be the Emissary. Then Ye Luo’s figure flickered and appeared at the mountain gate.
Immediately, he saw a scene that left him astonished.
Outside the mountain gate, more than ten disciples surrounded a woman in a long robe, veiled. On the ground not far away, a few disciples lay, severely injured, their life and death uncertain!
"You fools think you can stop me?" The woman’s cold voice came forth, and immediately these disciples trembled slightly.
It’s not that they were cowardly, but the pressure from the power emanating from this woman.
Despite this, it’s evident that the woman must have spared them somewhat; otherwise, these disciples would have already lost their lives.
This woman’s cultivation is certainly beyond the Martial King realm, and there’s a hint of Demonic Qi emanating from her. She is quite bold; this is the third faction, and if her identity were discovered, both she and Ye Luo would be in great trouble.
"All of you, step back!" Ye Luo frowned.
The disciples saw Ye Luo appear and immediately stepped aside.
"Are you Ye Luo?" The woman raised her head to look at Ye Luo. Her face was covered with a veil, making her appearance indistinguishable, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Ye Luo nodded slightly, "Come with me!"
After speaking, Ye Luo unleashed a burst of Mana, enveloping the woman.
Ye Luo’s intention was naturally to bring her into the main hall. There are certainly many spies observing around, and while identifying this woman’s identity from a distance might be difficult, at such a critical juncture, caution is indeed wise.
However, the woman evidently did not wish to follow Ye Luo’s arrangements and slapped one hand toward the sky, unleashing an immensely fierce power that exploded above her.
This power was at least Fifth Level of the Martial King realm, appearing far more formidable than that of a Hall Master’s might, indicating her realm was quite robust.
"You foolish woman!" Ye Luo immediately cursed, and immediately, his body flew over.
He couldn’t allow this foolish woman to continue using Mana, otherwise they wouldn’t escape those spies’ watch.
"Return with me!"
Ye Luo directly approached and held her firmly in his arms.
This wasn’t Ye Luo trying to take advantage of her; if Ye Luo continued to use Mana to restrain her, she would inevitably resist, and thus Ye Luo’s physical body being so powerful, when he held her flesh tightly, her Mana couldn’t be released either!
Yet, this moment left the woman stupefied, as she had never been this closely engaged with a man; furthermore, she was snugly held.
The dense male aura emanating from Ye Luo stirred an indescribable feeling within her, making her even more furious.
"Are you seeking death?" She coldly glared at Ye Luo, the chilling intent in her eyes made Ye Luo’s heart cold.
Yet, Ye Luo couldn’t be bothered too much now; being resented is better than exposing her identity.
Subsequently, his silhouette vanished, and in the blink of an eye appeared in the main hall.
This place, meticulously arranged by him over time, housed dozens of formations. With Ye Luo’s Divine Sense and understanding of Dao Tempo, even a Martial Emperor couldn’t easily discern the reality within the main hall.
Martial Emperors aren’t idle to probe others’ privacy, hence within the main hall, Ye Luo is relatively assured.
Upon landing, he released his grip, and the woman immediately jumped aside, tidied her attire, and coldly glared toward Ye Luo.
"I asked you a question, and you have not answered me!" The woman coldly said.
Ye Luo looked at her quizzically, "Asked a question? What question did you ask me?"
