Chapter 2782: Chapter 2783: Abandoning the Excavation
This left Ye Luo rather surprised; his physical body is incomparably strong, very difficult to resonate with other strengths!
Moreover, with his current perception, this is certainly not an illusion.
Immediately after, his physical body once again emitted that kind of tremor, and the source calling his body seemed to be beneath that layer of rock!
Isn’t it said that this rock layer harbors the crystal veins beneath? Ling’er certainly wouldn’t get this wrong.
In this case, the crystal veins must hide a marvelous world.
The crystal veins are natural cultivation Holy Lands; the birth of some strange beings within is not uncommon; indeed, it is not rare for supreme veins to birth Spirits of Crystal Stones!
Moreover, the great figures nearing the end of their lifespans seal themselves within these crystal veins, in this way, neither their physical bodies nor Divine Sense would dissipate.
What Ye Luo fears most, of course, is exactly this kind.
If there really are old immortals down there, Ye Luo is undoubtedly digging his own grave.
Ye Luo’s physical body is the most suitable target for body snatching; those old monsters nearing the end of their lifespans would drool at the sight of his physical body, Ye Luo, of course, is very aware of this.
So, should he dig this rock layer or not?
Currently, crystals are not essential for Ye Luo, and having the more than ten thousand soldiers of the Allied Forces mine is primarily to prevent disturbances from the sects, and secondly to avoid direct confrontation with King of Huainan, or rather, it’s just to find something to do!
Now if he still dares to take this risk, it’s irrational.
But on careful consideration, something seems off! This rock layer can even block Divine Sense; what strength can penetrate it? Could those old immortals be strong to such an extent?
Nonetheless, precautions must be taken!
Then, Ye Luo called Ling’er over to inquire in detail, but Ling’er could only sense crystals below this rock layer; what’s within those crystals, she couldn’t tell.
Ultimately, Ye Luo issued a command, full retreat!
To chase crystals, Ye Luo cannot gamble, so, the idle Allied Forces appeared again at the rear mountain of the Wudang Sect.
What surprised Ye Luo was that several Sect Masters had already gathered at Wudang Sect, waiting for Ye Luo in the main hall.
"Ye Sect Leader, are you still daring enough to go out nowadays? You truly are brave to the extreme! Do you know, you are already on King of Huainan’s must-kill list?" The Sect Master of Qiankun Sect immediately said.
Ye Luo glanced at him, "Oh? Sect Master still has the leisure to remind me? I am truly overwhelmed!"
Lately, the Sect Master of Qiankun Sect has been keeping a distance from Ye Luo and hasn’t set foot on Mount Wudang for a long time; hearing this, the Sect Master looked a bit embarrassed, but these are all old foxes; in the face of interests, a little face is nothing.
"Ye Sect Leader misunderstood, the great catastrophe is imminent, every sect has its own hardships!" The Sect Master sighed immediately, showing a helpless expression.
Ye Luo naturally understood he was completely pretending, did not bother him; at this time, at least more than ten Sect Masters or Deputy Sect Masters were present, these sects are mostly above average, in the Allied Forces, they are considered significant forces.
Clearly, they’ve come here concerning the matter with King of Huainan.
"Since everyone is here, let’s discuss the matter of resisting King of Huainan; with these nine thousand Allied Forces, saying to block King of Huainan’s twenty thousand elite soldiers is no less dreaming. If anyone has some good strategies, feel free to share them!"
Ye Luo was straightforward; at this point, there is nothing to hide.
For a while, these sect elders sighed one after another.
"Of course, if everyone doesn’t trust my abilities, I won’t force it; you can withdraw the Allied Forces, fight on your own!" Ye Luo said.
"Ye Sect Leader’s abilities are evident; even if the Allied Forces cannot withstand King of Huainan’s assault, it remains a considerable deterrent. If withdrawn, King of Huainan may immediately commence his campaign; Ye Sect Leader should not propose this!" A sect master said promptly.
Others also nodded repeatedly.
"To be frank, my Xiaoyao Sect has already prepared for the worst. If King of Huainan truly targets us, we can only abandon disciples and flee alone, leave the green hills without worry of firewood!" The Sect Master of Xiaoyao Sect suddenly said.
Though this thought sounds contemptible—unable to protect the disciples, fleeing for one’s life, what kind of Sect Leader is this?— yet no one mocked him, nor blamed him! Because everyone was thinking just the same!
If the disciples are lost, the sect survives; if the sect hierarchy falls, the sect is genuinely doomed.
"Ah, now let’s speak frankly with Ye Sect Leader!" The Sect Master of Qiankun Sect sighed.
Ye Luo knew what they were thinking, understood their helplessness; after all, who willingly sees their kin slaughtered while they survive alone?
"I certainly understand what the Sect Masters are thinking; when the time comes, the Allied Forces will hold off King of Huainan to give everyone time to escape!" Ye Luo said solemnly.
After all, every battle King of Huainan engages in is utterly ruthless, leaving no survivors.
Even cultivators in the Martial King Realm among them don’t have the assurance of escaping; not to mention King of Huainan has slaughtered many Martial King Realm cultivators.
"Ye Sect Leader indeed values loyalty; we are deeply grateful!"
"To express our intentions, please accept these resources, Ye Sect Leader!"
Clearly, these people had already privately discussed beforehand, handing over resources to the Sect Master of Qiankun Sect.
Ye Luo naturally did not hold back, accepted right away, as these more than ten thousand cultivators consume untold resources every day, and no cultivator ever complains about having too many resources.
Afterwards, these sect masters did not linger, leaving in succession, leaving Ye Luo gazing absentmindedly into the distance.
But soon he was abruptly awakened because the tremor within him arose once more! Although just a faint trace, it left his heart heavy.
Could it be that some old monster has really set sights on him? If so, he certainly can’t concern himself with the Great Crown Prince’s mission, fleeing immediately would be his course.
Just at this moment, several bright fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky afar, indicating the movement of King of Huainan’s army!
Immediately, figures darted across the sky, clearly, the sects’ spies began to act.
Should anything go awry, the high-ranking sect members would start to escape, too.
