Hearing Mingyueâs words laden with grievance, Ye Luo walked to her side, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me tonight, I will make sure you have the opportunity to try hard."
Suddenly, Mingyueâs face flushed red, and she shyly fled the place.
In the blink of an eye, night fell. Ye Luo and the women in Capital City shared a long-missed dinner together, and then he began his arduous labor of the night, spending the entire evening satisfying each of the women who had been with him.
Luckily, Ye Luo was strong and had formidable combat power, otherwise, he really wouldnât have been able to manage these groups of beauties.
The next day, Ye Luo left Capital City and made a trip to the Ye Alliance to check on its current situation.
After a week of development, the Ye Alliance had fully entered the right track, becoming a true Sect force, and Naduan Ningyuâs management ability was indeed strong.
In such a short time, she had organized the Ye Alliance well, with all disciples training in an orderly fashion, presenting a scene of fresh glory and upward mobility.
"Well done. It seems that entrusting the Ye Alliance to your management was the right choice,"
Ye Luo commended Naduan Ningyu.
"Thank you for the praise, Alliance Hierarch. I am only doing my duty,"
Duan Ningyu responded indifferently.
"Has anything significant happened in the Ye Alliance recently?"
Ye Luo looked at Duan Ningyu and inquired.
"These past few days, forces from other Hidden Sects have often shown up here, trying to probe the situation of the Ye Alliance, but they were all deterred and scared off by several Elders. Other than that, there hasnât been much,"
Duan Ningyu explained.
Hearing her words, Ye Luo relaxed a little. He was worried about the people from Seven Stars Pavilion catching wind of the Ye Alliance. Although the Ye Allianceâs power could now match a first-class force, it was still far behind that of the Seven Stars Pavilion. If they were to come knocking, it would be disastrous.
"Go and summon the Elders. I have a mission for them!"
Ye Luo instructed Naduan Ningyu, who nodded and went out.
However, at that moment, a fiery-red figure enteredâit was Huo Ji.
"Is there something you need?"
Ye Luo asked Huo Ji with a calm expression.
Huo Jiâs gaze flickered as her expression shifted, and finally, with her head bowed, she said, "Alliance Hierarch, could you spare me a drop of that spirit marrow? I would like to enhance my strength."
Ye Luo looked at Huo Ji, a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth, and said, "That spirit marrow is incredibly precious. Even though youâre now one of my followers, youâve been trying to kill me before. Do you think I should give you something so valuable?"
Huo Jiâs expression changed, and she looked at Ye Luo, gritting her teeth and saying, "As long as the Alliance Hierarch is willing to grant his subordinate a drop of spirit marrow, I am willing to do anything for the Alliance Hierarch, at any cost!"
"Including your body?"
Ye Luoâs eyes roved over Huo Jiâs figure playfully. Although the woman was older, her figure was incredibly impressive, and that combined with her haughty and fiery temperament, meant the thrill of conquering her would be extremely strong.
When he first met this woman, Ye Luo had entertained such thoughts, but had since forgotten them.
Hearing Ye Luoâs words, Huo Jiâs face couldnât help but turn a shade of red, and she stammered, "If the Alliance Hierarch requires it, Huo Ji is willing to offer her body to serve the Alliance Hierarch."
Ye Luo smiled at Huo Ji at that moment, took out the bottle containing the spirit marrow, and gave her a drop, saying, "Take it."
"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch!"
Huo Ji immediately expressed her gratitude, half-kneeling on the ground.
Afterwards, Huo Ji left, and Xie Dong and others arrived, including the three Elders of the Nalan Family.
"Alliance Hierarch!"
The group greeted Ye Luo with respectful voices.
"Iâve called you here to embark on our next mission, to rescue someone from the Qingyun Sect!"
Ye Luo addressed the group before him, intent on saving none other than Lin Xiaoyanâs father, Lin Tianhai.
Previously, through the disciples of the Qingyun Sect at Heng Mountain, he learned that Lin Tianhai was imprisoned and had suffered considerable torment, and his life was in constant peril.
Therefore, he planned to rescue Lin Tianhai before the start of the Qing List Tournament, and now with so many powerful experts by his side, dealing with the Qingyun Sect, ranked at the bottom of the first-tier forces, was well within their capacityâhe had no need for caution and wanted to go directly to Qingyun Sect to demand his release.
Upon hearing Ye Luoâs plan, the group had no objections. They had already obliterated the mighty Nalan family, so why would they concern themselves with the Qingyun Sect, a power far weaker than the Nalan family?
In a certain location in Huaxia, the headquarters of the Qingyun Sect stood.
Within a dark and damp dungeon, Lin Tianhai was shackled by his hands and feet with massive chains of profound iron, bloodied and bearing numerous wounds that left him in a disheveled state.
Standing before Lin Tianhai was Liao Mingkui, his face cold as he watched Lin Tianhai with a pair of eyes that gleamed with a predatory chill.
"Lin Tianhai, I didnât expect you to hold out for so long and endure until now!" Liao Mingkui coldly spat.
"I know you want to kill me, but you donât dare. If you kill me, I fear the Sect Master wonât let you off," Lin Tianhai uttered with a dismal expression.
"Hmph, Lin Tianhai, thereâs no need for you to be so pleased. Your death is imminent. Here in Qingyun Sect, Iâm not the only one who wishes for your demise. Our senior brother, Lu Zhengfeng, he desires it far more, because only with your death can he completely settle down and become the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect," Liao Mingkui said, his face shadowed as he looked at Lin Tianhai.
"If death comes, then let it come. I chose to return to Qingyun Sect without any illusions of surviving," Lin Tianhai retorted coldly, a glint of icy sternness flashing in his eyes.
"Is that so? Then you will soon get your wish," Liao Mingkui huffed coldly and turned to leave the place.
Leaving the dungeon, Liao Mingkui encountered Lu Zhengfeng dressed in a white robe, exuding an aura of righteousness.
"Senior brother, are you also here to visit Lin Tianhai?" Liao Mingkui inquired, his gaze fixed on Lu Zhengfeng.
"Of course, after all, he is a fellow brother of our Sect," Lu Zhengfeng replied with a smile that seemed utterly proper.
"Senior brother, your facade is indeed impressive. Despite wishing for his death in your heart, you still put on the appearance of deep fraternal affection," Liao Mingkui sneered.
"Liao brother, you think too much," Lu Zhengfeng stated indifferently.
"Itâs bad, Senior Brother Lu, Brother Liao, a group of people has arrived outside Qingyun Sect with daunting momentum and seem very strong. Theyâve already breached into Qingyun Sect," a middle-aged man from Qingyun Sect reported hastily as he approached them, his face filled with urgency.
"To dare intrude our Qingyun Sect so brazenly, who possesses such gall? Come, let us go see!" Lu Zhengfengâs expression darkened as he quickly departed, with Liao Mingkuiâs eyes flickering as he followed closely behind.
Meanwhile, in the square of Qingyun Sect, Ye Luo led the elders of the Ye Alliance with a ferocious force, and any Qingyun Sect disciple who attempted to block them was blown away.
Surrounded by a group of Qingyun Sect disciples armed with longswords, they encircled Ye Luo and his companions without daring to approach, their faces filled with solemnity and caution.
