With further clarification from Ao Long, Ye Luo was slowly starting to understand his true identity.
But as he came to know more and more about his origins, Ye Luo felt as if he was being enveloped by an invisible huge net. Despite his current invincibility on Earth, once he reached the Martial Realm, trouble would likely be incessant. After all, how immense must the power be that was capable of annihilating the family of the Emperor?
Such a force was Ye Luoâs mortal enemy! Clearly, their goal was unmistakable: to completely eradicate the bloodline of the Emperor. And Ye Luo, who had now awakened the bloodline of the Emperor, would likely be discovered by them, wouldnât he?
Should he just not go to the Martial Realm? Obviously, that was impossible. It was not Ye Luoâs style -- no matter how strong his enemies were, he never knew what fear was!
The Martial Realm, a mysterious power?
Ye Luo silently pondered in his heart, even visualizing what that once supremely powerful imperial family must have been like.
Actually, who doesnât want to be with their own family? Unfortunately, Ye Luoâs parents and kin were all gone. This was a hatred as vast as the heavens, a blood feud!
Vaguely, a towering rage was rising in Ye Luoâs heart!
...
"Master, I understand, but no matter what bloodline I have, no matter where I come from, I grew up on Earth since I was a child, so, I am Ye Luo of Earth. However, I will keep the family blood feud in mind. Master, rest assured, I wonât go looking for trouble, unless, I am strong enough. Otherwise, I will definitely not seek out my enemies. Donât worry!"
Ye Luo spoke very earnestly to Xuan Ji.
Xuan Jiâs mouth curved slightly upwards, indeed, Ye Luo had not let him down.
"Right, you are Ye Luo. I tell you about your origins not because I want you to seek revenge. The old master once said that itâs enough as long as you live in peace!"
Ye Luo solemnly put away the Emperorâs Jade. Although he doesnât yet know the purpose of the Emperorâs Jade, after all, this was Ye Luoâs only thought about his family and his origins!
"Well, Master, did you come to see me just to tell me this?"
Xuan Ji smiled faintly and said, "Of course, what else could I have to do? Alright, my task is considered complete. How you want to play is up to you now. Iâm heading back to the mountain."
Saying this, Xuan Ji casually waved his hand and lifted the surrounding restriction. Only at this moment did the people around regain their freedom.
During that time, they were completely unaware and had no idea what had happened.
Elder Shi immediately approached Ye Luo with joy upon seeing him: "Ye Luo, youâve finally come. The things you brought back from the Martial Realm have been incredibly useful to us. Itâs just a pity that our technological level isnât sufficient to quickly understand those things."
Elder Shi was naturally referring to the Spiritual Power guns and other such technological cultivation techniques brought back by Ye Luo from the Martial Realm. Initially, Ye Luo had handed over the Spiritual Power gun to the Special Security Bureau for research but had also contributed the remaining techniques to the nation.
After all, when Ye Luo first recorded these techniques, he was actually hoping they could help make Huaxia stronger!
Because of his relationship with Ye Luo, Elder Shi naturally became the person in charge.
"By the way, Ye Luo, Iâve heard that you have Elixirs that can quickly enhance oneâs strength. With such treasures, youâre actually hiding them away, not sharing any with us. Isnât that a bit wrong?"
Elder Shi had never had anything he dared not say or felt embarrassed to say in front of Ye Luo.
After all, in Elder Shiâs eyes, Ye Luo was essentially part of his family.
"This isnât my fault, you guys didnât ask me for it, how would I know you wanted Gathering Pills?"
Ye Luo smiled and said to Elder Shi, but because his mind was still not completely over the shock of discovering his own origins, he seemed a bit unnatural.
However, nobody thought too much of it; they just figured Ye Luo was like this because he had met Xuan Ji.
"By the way, Ye Luo, your timing is perfect; if you hadnât come, I was just about to look for you. Here, this is your new appointment from the country."
Elder Shi casually tossed a booklet to Ye Luo. When Ye Luo opened it, it turned out to be proof of his promotion to Major General!
Of course, this thing was actually of no use to Ye Luo at all, but Ye Luo was a bit perplexed as to what the countryâs purpose was in promoting him now.
"Elder Shi, what is this?"
Ye Luo had no choice but to ask Elder Shi. Ye Luo naturally knew that his promotion must be because there was something they needed him to do, but as for what exactly that was, Ye Luo had no idea.
"Ye Luo, the Number One Chief has already signed a new directive; from today onwards, you are the head of the new Special Department! The appointment has been issued everywhere, and I believe everyone already knows about your new incarnation. Itâs all on you now to confront Corpse King Palace!"
Elder Shi said it quite lightly, but in fact, Ye Luo really didnât care for this lousy department head position.
At the beginning, when the Special Department was just established, they had ostracized Ye Luo, but who knew they would be defeated so quickly?
Now, nearly all the elites of the Special Department have perished, and the Hidden Sect might as well have been destroyed, and then they finally thought of Ye Luo?
If it were not for the sake of Elder Shi and the others, Ye Luo would definitely toss this booklet away at once!
It was obvious they wanted Ye Luo to clean up the mess!
Moreover, even without the title of the Special Department, couldnât Ye Luo still gather people? Nowadays, with Ye Luo holding a series of powerful Elixirs like Gathering Pills, whether itâs the power of the Hidden Sect or secular families, hardly anyone wouldnât want to support Ye Luo.
Of course, in the end, Ye Luo didnât say anything.
After all, having been to the Martial Realm, Ye Luo only thought of Corpse King Palace as minor trouble.
"I understand what Number One Chief means, alright, Elder Shi, no need to say anything more, go and unify the power of the secular families. But tell those guys, if they are still thinking about preserving their own power, only wanting benefits without contributing, then they shouldnât think that Ye Luoâs resources are so easily swindled. Want Elixirs? Want strength? Then earn it with your own military achievements; donât just think about taking advantage of good fortune all the time!"
Ye Luo was quite blunt; although Elder Shi did not clarify, Ye Luo could guess that probably the strong secular families had put in a lot of effort in making this appointment!
However, Ye Luo was not so easily fooled; if they only wanted to reap the benefits without contributing, they shouldnât expect to gain anything good from Ye Luo, and even, if it was excessive, Ye Luo wouldnât mind wiping out such slick operators!
Elder Shi understood what Ye Luo meant; some things are well understood by everyone, not pointing them out directly is only due to the consideration of face. But now, with Corpse King Palace acting so rampant and domineering, what face is there to care for? If so, everyone would be doomed together, so Elder Shi also greatly supported Ye Luo.
