Because this nation is actually a nation of mercenaries where everyone is a soldier!
According to Ye Luoâs investigation, the result was that this place is a nation that provides guards for the Commerce Alliance.
Every year, at least millions of mercenaries are sent to the Commerce Alliance from here!
Subsequently, Ye Luo investigated several other countries, but without exception, all of these countries were serving the Commerce Alliance. There were nations specializing in crafting tools, nations dealing with logistics and intelligence, nations training assassins and killers for special professions, and nations cultivating ordinary foot soldiers as cannon fodder!
And this is only in the Ninth Region! Moreover, itâs unknown if there are other similar entities! What about the Eighth Region? Or even the Seventh Region?
Commerce Alliance, oh what a Commerce Alliance, what earth-shattering plan do they have, and what kind of terrifying existence are they!
Just what Ye Luo himself saw was enough to prove how terrifying the strength of this Commerce Alliance is, so what is their plan?
...
The fog begins to clear, yet Ye Luo simply has no way to find out.
Because Ye Luo discovered that he canât reach the higher-ups of the Commerce Alliance at all!
If he could find a higher-up of the Commerce Alliance, perhaps by using his Soul Searching Technique, he might uncover some clues. But unfortunately, no matter what methods Ye Luo tried, it just wouldnât work!
Even when Ye Luo found the king of a certain country, the result was just that the king turned out to be merely an intermediate manager of the Commerce Alliance!
The terrifying Commerce Alliance.
As Ye Luoâs investigation continued, he grew even more aware of how vast this Commerce Alliance truly is!
Sadly, they still wear the guise of a mere trade association...
Of course, Ye Luo didnât know that while he was investigating everywhere, he had already been targeted by the Commerce Alliance!
Although Ye Luo was regarded as careful and the Commerce Allianceâs forces so vast, in theory, keeping Ye Luo hidden shouldnât be a difficult task.
Unfortunately, Ye Luo underestimated the counter-surveillance abilities of the Commerce Alliance!
On this day, Ye Luo was resting in an inn in a nation where arenas were rampant. According to Ye Luoâs understanding, people fought to the death in bloodbaths here to earn the so-called title of "Brave Slayer"!
And this "Brave Slayer" is a type of veteran warrior in the Commerce Alliance!
In other words, this nation is one that provides elite warriors for the Commerce Alliance!
Initially, Ye Luo wasnât worried about anything, after all, the three of them had been secretly investigating the Commerce Alliance for some time without encountering any danger, although they hadnât gathered very important information, at least they were safe.
But who would have thought, as soon as they arrived in this nation and before they could even start a comprehensive investigation, danger descended upon them!
On this day, the three of them each requested an upper room to rest and reorganize before starting the new investigation.
But Ye Luo noticed that not long after they checked in, the innkeeperâs assistant went room by room notifying the current guests of the inn to quietly leave!
It can be said that after discovering this anomaly, Ye Luo became vigilant.
Subsequently, the door of Ye Luoâs room was gently pushed open by Feng Ling.
Just as Ye Luo was about to ask, he saw Feng Ling make a gesture for silence, and Ye Luo understood, so he didnât say anything more.
Feng Ling reached out, and a faint glow appeared in front of Ye Luo.
In that glow, a small bug was confined, and Ye Luo heard Feng Lingâs voice quietly transmitted through a secret technique: "Weâve been tracked!"
Ye Luo frowned slightly and asked through the secret technique, "What happened?"
"Our Sacred Temple has some special secret techniques, such as preventing tracking. Just now, when I went to my room, I felt a very faint aura constantly locking onto me, so I followed that aura and found this little thing!"
Ye Luo looked at the small bug in Feng Lingâs hand and asked, "What is this?"
"This bug is called Hundred Ears, a type of bug specifically used for eavesdropping. Obviously, the other party knows we will definitely check the room, so they didnât do anything inside the room but set up Hundred Ears from a distance!"
"Then you..."
Ye Luo wanted to ask Feng Ling how she caught this bug, but considering Feng Lingâs identity, he didnât continue asking.
After all, Feng Ling is the Saintess of the Sacred Temple of the Demon Clan. To control such a little bug would be an easy task for her!
"Letâs go, meet up with Ao Long senior, and leave this place!"
Ye Luo already guessed that perhaps it was the Commerce Alliance who became suspicious of them.
After all, the surrounding nations are all territory of the Commerce Alliance, so who else but the Commerce Alliance would want to deal with them?
However, at this moment Ao Long had already walked in.
"Kid, girl, prepare for battle!"
Unexpectedly, Ao Long came in and directly told Ye Luo and Feng Ling!
Prepare for battle!
Could it be that the enemy has already arrived?
Ye Luo immediately activated his Clairvoyant Eye to look outside!
Indeed, at this moment they were already surrounded.
Hundreds of city guards had already gathered around the inn!
Moreover, more people were still coming to support!
Apparently, the enemy had already assessed Ye Luo and the othersâ strength, knowing they were not to be trifled with, which is why so many forces were mobilized!
"Hmph, so what if weâve been discovered, weâll just fight our way out! Anyway, we canât gather much useful information here!"
Ye Luo said disdainfully. As for these enemies in the Qi Cyclone Realm, honestly, Ye Luo really didnât take them seriously!
After all, Ye Luo is now in the Second Rank of the Spirit Martial Realm!
Moreover, Feng Ling possesses Eighth Rank Qi Cyclone Realm cultivation!
As for Ao Long, not to mention his cultivation, just the endless array of methods he has is enough to handle almost any unexpected situation, and his ability to protect himself is even stronger than Ye Luo!
The enemy is still assembling, Ye Luo wonât foolishly wait for them to fully set up before making a move.
Having made his decision, Ye Luo was the first to head downstairs!
...
"Honorable guests, where do you intend to go?"
A servant came up to Ye Luo, smiling and asking him.
If not for Ye Luo having already seen through the conspiracy around them, Ye Luo might have actually thought this servant was genuinely concerned about them!
"Where do you think weâre going?"
Ye Luoâs lips curled up slightly as he spoke lightly, and at the same time, the Lingyun Sword appeared in his hand.
The servant saw Ye Luoâs action and immediately understood what Ye Luo intended to do, so he shouted out, "Theyâre trying to escape..."
Unfortunately, the last word couldnât be spoken as Ye Luo had already slashed down with his sword!
"Charge in, slay the enemies!"
