Ye Luo knew that these people were characters from those major powers.
He quietly detoured to the sectâs backyard, where an entrance was prepared specifically for sect members.
However, as soon as he walked in, he noticed someone!
Wan Hou! Whatâs this guy doing here?
Upon seeing Ye Luo enter, he sneered, his smile full of disdain and mockery.
"Kid, you finally came. Iâve been waiting for you for a long time!" He laughed and walked over.
Ye Luo glanced at him coldly, "Weâre both candidates. Your status isnât much higher than mine, so thereâs no need for you to welcome me here!"
Wan Hou was about to speak but was stifled by Ye Luoâs words.
What a joke, my status lower than yours? What do you count for! Heâs the eldest son of the Wan Family, the first among the younger generation of Kunwu Sect, and the foremost candidate for Sect Master!
Although he knew Ye Luo was deliberately provoking him, he still found it hard to suppress his anger.
"Heh, I admire your courage, but youâre doomed, and probably donât even know it yet!" Wan Hou finally held back from making a move and instead gave a sinister smile.
Seeing Ye Luo remain silent, he continued, "Do you know, this time the major powers came to celebrate a birthday, but also provided us with a stage to showcase our strength. By then, I will certainly choose to spar with you, and if I kill you, the sect will say nothing. Now Iâll give you a choice: hand over that energy-filled bottle, and Iâll spare your life!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing!" Wan Hou frowned and asked.
"I think your brain is broken. If you choose me, I see you as the one with a dead-end. Itâs truly ridiculous!"
After saying this, he directly headed towards the sect.
Wan Hou watched his back, his gaze as cold as a viper.
In fact, Ye Luo was not at all familiar with this Kunwu Sect. Even the real Liu Qing had only visited the sect twice, both times as a child, without any deep memories of the sect.
Fortunately, there were attendants dedicated to welcoming candidates, who quickly led Ye Luo to his temporary cave mansion.
Of course, this cave mansion was temporary; once he becomes Sect Master or Deputy Sect Master, the residence would change.
But for Ye Luo, this was already sufficient!
The cave mansion was beyond his imagination in size, much larger than the courtyard where the Liu Family resided!
Moreover, over ten servants were specifically assigned to attend to Ye Luoâs daily needs.
This might feel like a meteoric rise for others; although a genius within the sect, nowhere else would offer such treatment.
However, for Ye Luo, it really didnât make much difference, nor did he have any interest in the position of Sect Master.
He dismissed the servants and began checking the cave mansion!
As expected, monitoring talisman characters were set! Like the thousand-eye talismans of the Dragon Clan. Had he not activated his Clairvoyant Eye, he might not have discovered them!
But now that heâs found them, he canât casually dismantle them; if he did, the sect would certainly find out, only to raise more suspicion.
The talisman likely wasnât exclusive to this cave mansion; the others probably have them too.
However, Ye Luo had too many secrets, and if discovered, heâd undoubtedly be on a dead-end!
Thus, he cautiously rummaged through his Qiankun Bag, finally finding a Celestial Talisman!
This talisman was quite rare, naturally crafted by the elder dragons.
Celestial Talisman, as the name implies, blinds the heavens!
Silently, Ye Luo tossed the talisman out! Instantly, he felt the cave mansion enveloped by a mysterious energy!
Of course, this sensation could only be perceived by himself; even if someone entered his cave mansion, they wouldnât discern it.
However, he knew the scenes visible to the monitoring talisman were entirely different, no longer reflecting his real presence in the cave, but rather whatever Ye Luo whimsically imagined!
This is the marvelous aspect of the Celestial Talisman! Naturally, using it to cover his tracks was a complete waste!
In fact, the talisman had many uses, such as concealing oneâs fortune, spiritual power, strength, and more! It wouldnât be so precious otherwise!
Yet, to stay alive, he couldnât help but waste it.
With the aid of the Celestial Talisman, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then brought out the bottle! Inside, of course, was that peculiar energy.
He wasnât sure what the sect intended to do with this energy, but he used it for body refinement!
Or rather, to activate Bloodline Power. The more robust his physical body is, the higher the compatibility with the Dragon Soul! The side effects of the body-switching technique would be weaker!
Additionally, there were Dragon Emperorâs incarnation remains!
If they were truly Dragon Emperorâs remains, he wouldnât consider refining them away!
After all, Dragon Emperor was the king of this regionâs Dragon Clan. To casually refine Dragon Emperorâs remains, would the Dragon Clan put a bounty on him? That was no laughing matter.
But now, he was completely free of such concerns! Moreover, according to a senior, Dragon Emperor had more than one incarnation! With that, just one incarnation and the Dragon Clan surely wouldnât trouble him!
Also, he always felt he was tricked by the Dragon Clan. Did they not know these were Dragon Emperorâs remains? Did they not know about Tower of Trialsâ Dragon Clan matters? Did they not know Kunwu Sectâs hidden powers?
Since they knew all this, why send him? Officially, itâs to reclaim Dragon Emperorâs remains!
In reality, it was entirely a setup! Certainly, the Dragon Clan wouldnât harm him, if so, Ao Long wouldnât agree. Though arrogant at times, occasionally unreliable, when it came to Ye Luoâs safety, he naturally wouldnât let him be fooled.
Soon, he clutched the container. Both the energy within and the remains of Dragon Emperorâs incarnation dealt significant damage to his body.
Thus, he had to use the Great Saint Physique cultivation technique to absorb and refine them.
Without hesitation, because the upcoming sect masterâs birthday feast, Wan Hou will challenge him! Though he spoke arrogantly, Ye Luo knew, with his current strength, he would certainly be defeated by Wan Hou!
After all, his realm was too low now, or rather, those Dragon Kings were too stingy, granting him only Eighth Rank mana! Right now, it was no longer sufficient!
As for his physical body, perhaps it could handle ordinary folks, but since Wan Hou was the first among the younger generation of Kunwu Sect, he must have formidable skills. Ye Luo didnât think relying only on his physical body would be effective.
