Ye Luo felt some hesitation in his heart, but since the Jade Pendant silently resided within his body without any excess movement, Ye Luo could only let it be.
Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Luo simply could not do anything about this object.
However, as the Jade Pendant entered Ye Luoâs body, he could clearly feel a mysterious power merging into him.
Ye Luo had no idea what this power was, as no one could enlighten him about it.
The only guess Ye Luo could make was that this power might be the Divine Soul Power contained within the Cloud Pearl; of course, it was only a guess by Ye Luo!
At the same time when Ye Luo tamed the Jade Pendant, Yun Liancheng, on the other hand, had also subdued the Cloud Pearl.
So at this moment he walked over.
"Brother Ye, how did your efforts fare?"
Speaking of Yun Liancheng, he truly was a straightforward person. By all rights, these items, left to him by his mother, should belong to him alone, yet he willingly shared them with Ye Luo, which meant Ye Luo already considered Yun Liancheng a friend in his heart.
Hearing Yun Lianchengâs inquiry, Ye Luo didnât conceal anything and shared the matter of the Cloud Pearl.
Yun Liancheng frowned slightly: "Based on what youâve said, Brother Ye, this Cloud Pearl is likely also a treasure. Itâs a pity, our lack of knowledge prevents us from knowing its true use! Letâs not dwell on this. Whether itâs a blessing or a curse, Brother Ye, letâs increase our efforts, and try to take all the things here. Who knows if we will have the chance to come back to this palace after we leave!"
"Isnât that wrong? Isnât this palace left to you by your mother? How could even you not have the means to enter?"
Ye Luo asked, puzzled.
"Alas, I only found out after I received the Cloud Pearl, that this palace was built using a unique method of the Cloud Clan. Not to mention other things, just the palaceâs Great Array alone, I donât presently have the power to break through. Iâm afraid it will take a long time before I can enter for a second time. Since thatâs the case, we might as well take as many treasures as we can with us this time!"
Ye Luo nodded, but decided in his heart, no matter what he acquired here, if Yun Liancheng needed it in the future, he would return it to him!
The two of them set to work, pocketing one treasure after another. Nearly every objectâs use was unknown to both Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng, but they couldnât be bothered with such details. Since they were treasures, they collected them first, to be studied later.
Three days later, the contents of the secret chamber were finally fully acquired by the two men.
If it werenât for Yun Lianchengâs presence, Ye Luo would have felt like the two were nothing more than robbers!
However, when it came time to leave, the two of them encountered a problem. They discovered that there was no Transmission Array here!
But then again, the Cloud Clan didnât use Transmission Arrays, so it made sense for the palace to lack one.
"Brother Ye, it seems we are in trouble, if Iâm not mistaken, the territory below us is no longer that of the Great Tang Domain. Who knows which kingdom it actually is!"
The two men stood on the lowest level of the palace. There was a way to leave here, but it merely involved being dropped onto the ground without specifying the destination.
Ye Luo smiled faintly, so what if there was trouble? Ever since he heard that the Great Tang Empire was the calmest place in the Ninth Region, or even the entire Martial Realm, Ye Luo wanted to experience for himself how dangerous the outside world really could be. And now, this was just the opportunity.
"What, Brother Yun, are you afraid?"
Ye Luo asked Yun Liancheng indifferently.
Yun Liancheng laughed heartily: "Afraid? What do I have to fear! Since Brother Ye has no concerns, letâs head down now!"
Having said that, Yun Liancheng activated the deployment.
A beam of light enveloped them, forming a bubble around the two, swiftly transporting them to the ground.
Just in mid-air, Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng could both see the fires of war rising in every direction!
...
"Who are you!"
As soon as Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng landed, they were immediately surrounded by several people, all poised as if they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement!
"Please do not misunderstand, we are both from the Great Tang Empire, simply out on a wander. We unconsciously found ourselves here in your land!"
Yun Liancheng promptly replied.
However, the few of them looked at Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng with disdain and said, "Hmph, people of the Great Tang Empire, do you think we are fools? The Great Tang Empire isolates itself behind high walls, and weâve never seen anyone come out. You say youâre here to travel? I think youâre clearly spies!"
"Enough talk, letâs capture them first!"
As they spoke, the people did not hesitate to rush towards Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng.
Just as Yun Liancheng was about to take action, he was stopped by Ye Luo!
"Brother Yun, wait a moment!"
"What do you mean? They have already made a move, do we just sit here and await death?"
Ye Luo had his own ideas in mind. First of all, they were strangers in a strange land here, and while killing these few people might be easy, it would certainly cause unnecessary trouble. Secondly, Ye Luo noticed that these people didnât harbor any true hostility toward them; it seemed more like routine questioning, and even their attack was not lethal!
Hence, Ye Luo could determine that they were merely suspicious of his and Yun Lianchengâs identities, rather than truly hostile towards Ye Luo!
Therefore, why not take the chance to observe the situation first?
Seeing that the two did not resist, those people indeed surrounded them but did not truly attack.
"You two seem fairly honest, alright, we wonât trouble you any further. Come along, letâs go see the lord!"
Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng promptly followed those people, moving quickly towards the front. Before long, they were brought to a somewhat dilapidated city!
Compared to the Great Tang Empireâs commonplace hundred-meter-high walls and towering buildings, this place was akin to a dilapidated village.
Yet strangely, it was populated with quite a few people!
The two were led towards the only estate in the city that looked decent.
But before they could reach it, they heard a clamor!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
All of a sudden, the entire city was alerted, countless people soared into the sky, clearly extremely tense!
Through his Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo could see that these people werenât actually very strong; their strengths were mostly around the first or second Qi Cyclone Realm, but each of them bore the aura of iron-hardened battle, obviously used to constant fighting.
"Boom boom boom!"
A sound like thunder roared, and moments later, loud roars of beasts echoed from afar.
Whether it was Ye Luo or Yun Liancheng, both were extremely astonished now. What exactly was going on, and where were they?
