Ye Luo squinted his eyes, not expecting that someone had been watching him all along. He considered the possibility before, and since he chose to do this, he naturally wasn’t afraid of being discovered.

In fact, the current chaotic battle was so frenzied that no one could stop it.

Even if someone knew Ye Luo was behind it, it wouldn’t matter at all because the old monsters had already gone mad.

Even the prince of the Third Empire was being besieged by a few old monsters, and taking time to block Ye Luo would only lead to more old monsters attacking him.

However, Ye Luo drew little attention; after all, he was just an ordinary cultivator. Killing him wouldn’t offer any benefits.

Despite their frenzy, those old monsters knew to target those of value.

Ye Luo smiled slightly and continued to run swiftly, completely ignoring him!

"Damn it, it must be his doing!" the prince of the Third Empire shouted loudly.

However, no one paid him any attention, as the few old monsters were nearly fighting him to the death.

"Get out of my way!" he roared, raising a longsword and slashing towards the three elders overhead!

Buzz!

Instantly, the terrifying power of laws poured out from the sword!

In the blink of an eye, the elders were cut in half and immediately perished! Their souls didn’t even escape, completely absorbed by the sword.

Immediately, the gaze of many cultivators shifted over.

"The Emperor’s Sword, he actually brought out this peerless vicious weapon!"

"What’s the Third Empire up to? Wasn’t it said that this peerless vicious weapon was sealed long ago?"

After all, most of these old figures came from high-level regions and were not unfamiliar with the Third Empire.

But Ye Luo knew nothing of such peerless vicious weapons; he had already seen Nuonuo’s figure. She, being very clever, neither fled nor joined the battle; instead, she just curled up beside a huge rock, unnoticed by anyone.

"Master!"

Seeing Ye Luo, she whispered softly.

In an instant, Ye Luo rushed to her side.

"Come, follow me down the mountain!" Ye Luo whispered urgently. Since the objective was reached, there was no need to stay on the peak any longer.

Although Nuonuo was puzzled, she wisely obeyed Ye Luo’s command.

However, they hadn’t run far before the voice of the prince of the Third Empire reached them.

"Everyone, I’ve found the one who tampered with Spirit Lake. If everyone hears me, we may still have a chance to reclaim the Spiritual Liquid, and celebrate greatly. If you prefer to continue this chaotic battle, don’t blame my Emperor’s Sword for absorbing your soul!" His icy voice reverberated in the air.

At once, Ye Luo bitterly smiled, fearing they couldn’t leave now!

He didn’t expect him to have the ability to control this situation!

As soon as he spoke, the chaotic battle began to calm down.

At the same time, anyone daring to leave was immediately killed on sight, for those old figures were quite shrewd, and anyone trying to leave the mountain was naturally highly suspect.

"Master?" Nuonuo asked, puzzled.

She had been watching Ye Luo the whole time, but he clearly hadn’t done anything!

"You hide in the same spot from before; no one has noticed you yet. If a chaotic battle erupts, go down the mountain to the tribe to find Dao’er and the others. There shouldn’t be much danger going down; stay alert, and your current strength should suffice!" Ye Luo quickly instructed.

If a chaotic battle broke out, he wouldn’t have the energy to take care of Nuonuo.

Nuonuo understood the gravity of the situation, nodded slightly, and hid in the previous location!

"Master, I’ll wait for your return!" Her voice echoed in Ye Luo’s mind, filled with immense longing.

She knew that Ye Luo faced a near-certain death, but she couldn’t help in any way. Staying by his side would only burden him, hastening his demise!

"I must cultivate relentlessly and not drag him down!" Nuonuo clenched her fist, eyes reddened, muttering to herself.

"Prince, who is it? Just say it!"

Many cultivators started questioning him.

The prince of the Third Empire, holding the Emperor’s Sword, said nothing more and directly pointed the sword at Ye Luo’s direction.

"It’s him; he’s the one who took the Spiritual Liquid and tampered with it!"

Immediately, everyone’s gaze fell on Ye Luo.

Ye Luo instantly showed a bewildered expression, looking at everyone innocently.

This performance was incredibly convincing, and everyone furrowed their brows. This young man didn’t seem to be the mastermind!

His realm was merely the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm! If he had tampered with it, how could others not have noticed?

"Prince, could there be a mistake? With his realm, it’s unlikely he could tamper with anything!" an elder said, frowning.

"Impossible? Humph, try probing him, and you’ll see. He’s not as simple as you think!" the prince of the Third Empire replied, frowning.

In reality, it was just a feeling he had, but such feelings weren’t vague; they arose from a cultivation technique. The technique was quite miraculous; even though he hadn’t cultivated it to the highest level, his feelings were rarely wrong!

He felt Ye Luo’s strength wasn’t just surface-level, and he emitted a dangerous aura!

One who made him feel threatened couldn’t be a commoner!

Moreover, Ye Luo was the one who took the Spiritual Liquid, so naturally, it was he who tampered with it.

But proving it was tricky; speaking about feelings wouldn’t be convincing to other cultivators.

"Not simple? Could he be hiding his strength? But how could he escape the discerning eyes of so many of us?" the elder said, frowning.

"He certainly didn’t hide his realm, but his strength might surprise you!" the prince of the Third Empire continued.

"Fine, I’ll test him!" With that, the elder directly attacked.

This palm strike wasn’t weak, yet certainly within Ye Luo’s capability to handle.

However, if he did handle it, it would indicate he was indeed problematic.

Hardly sacrificing his body wouldn’t result in death but would undoubtedly leave him seriously injured, thus preventing him from leaving the mountain that day.

He had predicted this in advance, so he used a high-tech item!

Naturally, it was from the base, a puppet incarnation!

This puppet incarnation had no power, identical to Ye Luo! Its purpose was merely to act as a decoy!

For instance, under a strong attack, the puppet would be killed, mistaken for Ye Luo himself, and he would escape death!
