Suddenly, he activated the Clairvoyant Eye, quickly scanning his surroundings!

Sure enough, a shadow swiftly vanished.

Ye Luo was certain that this was no ordinary cultivator, but rather a biological entity or perhaps a strange race!

Moreover, it could sense the power of Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye, which was terrifying, as ordinary cultivator experts wouldn’t be able to detect the secret of Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye!

It can be said that the Clairvoyant Eye was Ye Luo’s trump card, and he rarely used it unless necessary, fearing others would discover his secret.

However, over the years, very few could sense the existence of his Clairvoyant Eye.

Hence, Ye Luo had developed a murderous intent towards this race!

Outwardly though, he didn’t show anything and continued to smile while looking at the disciples.

"Don’t worry; I’ll go back and make arrangements. Tonight, I’ll personally keep watch for you!"

Hearing this, the disciples were somewhat excited, as Ye Luo’s strength was now acknowledged throughout Zi Wei Sect, and it was far superior to those elders.

With him there, these disciples would naturally feel much more at ease.

Moreover, for some reason, when these disciples saw Ye Luo, it was as if they had found someone to rely on, and their previous fear dissipated considerably.

By the end, some disciples were even smiling and boldly teasing Ye Luo.

After all, these girls were at an age when they began to understand love, and in their hearts, Ye Luo was a hero, and their worship of him was rather blind.

Ye Luo naturally understood this and planned to adopt a different management style for these female disciples, as he had clearly felt a strong resistance in their hearts before.

For instance, the more pressure exerted on them, the stronger their rebellious sentiments would become.

Even if they appeared compliant, it was merely a mechanical execution of tasks.

In fact, it’s not only them; many disciples from different sects are in similar situations. Ye Luo didn’t want this kind of result!

Because he had very important tasks to assign to these female disciples, they needed to be one hundred percent loyal to Ye Luo!

Of course, achieving this wasn’t easy and required a gradual and subtle process, as even saving their lives before wasn’t enough.

Ye Luo didn’t stay long, considering he knew nothing about the enemy, and being unaware made him too passive. Familiarity with both oneself and the opponent is essential.

Indeed, his strength was not yet top-notch; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to worry about the Dragon Clan and those Great Sects.

Afterward, he headed to Zi Wei’s residence, and Zi Wei immediately came out to greet him.

"Where have you been? I specially made flower cake for you to try!" Zi Wei said sweetly smiling.

Her changed mindset made her even more beautiful and charming.

Ye Luo was momentarily stunned by the sight, then broke into a smile, "That sounds great, except I have urgent matters to discuss with you!"

By now, it was almost dark, and having promised the disciples he would keep watch that night, he had to fulfill his word; otherwise, his credibility among the disciples would significantly drop.

Gaining loyalty is extremely difficult, but losing it is surprisingly easy.

"Oh? Between you and me, just say what’s on your mind!" she responded with a smile.

Ye Luo looked into her eyes and said, "What’s going on with those disciples exactly?"

He asked because he felt confident Zi Wei knew about it.

Sure enough, upon hearing the question, Zi Wei’s expression immediately changed, and she sighed deeply.

"I knew these matters couldn’t be hidden from you, but you’d best not get involved. It’s something neither of us can solve, and it might even lead to mortal danger!" she sighed.

This surprised Ye Luo somewhat, for Zi Wei was not someone to be easily bullied. Though she was gentle with Ye Luo due to becoming his woman, she was in fact very powerful. After all, her reputation as the number one in the Sixth Region wasn’t a stroke of luck, it was earned through battles.

"Ye Luo, believe me, I wouldn’t deceive you. Right now, no disciples, not even Zi Wei Sect, are as important as your safety to me, which is why I haven’t told you! Besides, as long as we remain hidden within the Sect, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly!" Zi Wei quickly reassured him.

Her words Ye Luo naturally trusted, and they confirmed his suspicion that she indeed knew who was responsible!

"Tell me who’s behind it. No matter what, I have to ensure the safety of those disciples, as they play a vital role in my upcoming plans!"

After hearing this, Zi Wei remained silent for a while before speaking, "Since you say so, I’ll tell you. And I’ll also fight alongside you, because if you die, I won’t survive either!"

She blinked, and indeed, this was true, as she had signed a contract with Ye Luo. Should Ye Luo fall, she wouldn’t be able to live either, but her words weren’t merely because of the contract.

Ye Luo chuckled; although the contract couldn’t be dissolved, he wouldn’t activate the restriction’s power within it, even if she were to betray him.

This wasn’t due to Ye Luo’s tender-heartedness, but his own principles. After all, she was now considered Ye Luo’s woman, and the saying "a thousand years to share a pillow" wasn’t just a random phrase; it embodied a certain philosophy!

Ultimately, Ye Luo realized during his time at Five Dao Ridges that everything has its own path, but it’s something beyond Ye Luo’s comprehension, what’s referred to as the way of heaven.

"Ye Luo, they are the infamous Hunters of South Territory!" she suddenly said.

Her tone carried a trace of apprehension and fear!

Yet, after she spoke, Ye Luo showed no abnormal reaction.

Because he had never heard the term Hunters before.

Then Zi Wei suddenly understood, "I forgot, you’re not native to this area. Those Hunters last appeared when I was in my prime, at which time I wasn’t afraid of them and had killed quite a few Hunters, even collaborating with Law Enforcers to seal them away! It was because of this I formed a grudge with them!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo roughly grasped the main context of the situation.

It’s a group of peculiar races seeking revenge.
