At this moment, he was spotless, his entire aura as sharp as a sword freshly drawn from its sheath.

Instantly, the faces of the two women lit up with joy.

"I understand now, Ye Luo, you were hiding your strength, weren’t you?" Zi Wei asked excitedly.

Nuonuo apparently realized the same thing.

After all, to unleash such combat power, it’s impossible to achieve that in a weakened state.

Linking back to Ye Luo daring to enter the Pure Land earlier, it turned out he had already broken into the Heavenly Martial Realm!

This time, he had merely set a trap!

"Hmph, fortunately, they didn’t make a move this time, otherwise, I’d have ensured they didn’t return!" Ye Luo said coldly.

"Indeed, I noticed them too, but we can’t make too many enemies!" Zi Wei promptly said.

Ye Luo slightly nodded, "I understand this!"

Zi Wei meant for Ye Luo not to pursue others, given that many forces wanted to target Ye Luo this time.

However, since they ultimately didn’t act, Ye Luo decided to pretend not to know.

Among powers, benefits are most important, and Ye Luo naturally understood this.

At his level, he couldn’t just act recklessly based on emotion.

Subsequently, Nuonuo returned to the mecha group, after all, she was the backbone of the group, and many orders needed to come from her.

"Ye Luo, come to my place, let me soothe your nerves!" Zi Wei teased with a seductive glance.

Ye Luo burst into laughter and pulled her into his embrace, "I was thinking the same!"

With that, the two headed towards the cave mansion.

In the underground world, the entire huge palace began to tremble.

"Damn it, how could this happen? So many hunter warriors, plus an elder, yet all perished like this! How is this possible, how can that Ye Luo possess such strength!"

Instantly, roars echoed through the grand hall.

Yet, the outside hunters were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to respond.

"Ye Luo, when my incarnation is released, the first one I’ll kill is you!"

Of course, these words were beyond Ye Luo’s hearing.

Currently, he was with Zi Wei, making waves in the cave mansion.

Last night’s battle had already spread throughout the South Territory, and various forces had enhanced their fear of Ye Luo.

However, an unexpected person to Ye Luo appeared again!

Ao Long!

In fact, the person Ye Luo least wanted to see at this moment was him!

The relationship with Ao Long was entirely one where they’d risk their lives for each other.

But now Ao Long’s arrival indicated he came for the Dragon Clan, which made Ye Luo quite displeased.

"Ye Luo, I’m sorry!"

Upon meeting, Ao Long confessed.

At this moment, Ao Long appeared dispirited, his aura weak, clearly he hadn’t fared well with the Dragon Clan.

The last time, when he released Ye Luo, the Dragon Clan must have severely punished him.

"Senior Ao Long, between you and me, there’s no need for such words, straight to the point, Senior Ao Long, in fact, if you stay in this South Territory, I guarantee the Dragon Clan won’t dare to do anything to you, and you have no offspring in the Dragon Clan, so why bother!"

Ao Long was about to speak, but upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, he immediately forced a bitter smile.

"Ye Luo, you understand me; even though the Dragon Clan has wronged me, I cannot leave the Dragon Clan!"

Ye Luo sighed; he knew Ao Long well after being together for years. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Back then, the Dragon Clan wasn’t this debased; their bloodline was purer, with numerous masters, flourishing for a time.

More importantly, under the leadership of the then Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Clan reached its peak, and their conduct was upright, which was distinctly different from the current Dragon Clan.

That kind of Dragon Clan was what Ao Long aspired for, and his current dream was to restore the Dragon Clan to its former state.

"Senior Ao Long, I know your dream, but time does not turn back, and the principle that prosperity leads to decline, I’m sure you understand that as well!"

Ao Long sighed, "Yes, I understand, but I still hope for miracles!"

Since that was the case, Ye Luo no longer tried to persuade him. Each person has their own aspirations; when Ye Luo was weak, Ao Long whole-heartedly helped him.

But now, Ye Luo had grown strong, even stronger than Ao Long, so naturally, there arose a conflict of interest between him and Ao Long!

In other words, they were just serving their respective masters!

Ao Long naturally didn’t want to make things difficult for Ye Luo; in fact, initially, he even considered leaving the Sixth Region, ignoring Dragon Clan matters!

However, he couldn’t overcome that barrier in his heart! Hence, he returned.

Even if he knew the Dragon Clan was using him, he was still willing.

It’s not that he didn’t value emotions, but that he chose the Dragon Clan over emotions and family.

Ye Luo didn’t blame him; Ao Long was still a steadfast man.

Of course, given Ao Long’s choice, Ye Luo couldn’t just follow him to the Dragon Clan to face death! After all, he respected Ao Long’s choice, but he also had his own.

"Ye Luo, I’m not forcing you; you have your life and your encounters. I’m just conveying this matter to you, and how you decide is your business. I’ll take my leave now!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Ye Luo could sense his inner conflict, but Ye Luo couldn’t risk his life just to pay the price for Ao Long!

Of course, if Ao Long were in trouble with the Dragon Clan, Ye Luo would risk everything to save him; going to the Pure Land before was just so!

However, the current situation was different; Ye Luo certainly wouldn’t go to die meaninglessly.

"Senior Ao Long, returning like this, the Dragon Clan won’t spare you, so why bother? You know, if you stay, we cooperate, the Dragon Clan won’t be able to do anything to us; even the Sixth Region can’t do anything to us!"

Ye Luo’s words were so arrogant, but Ao Long didn’t feel it was abrupt! He knew Ye Luo had that ability and potential.

Ao Long just shook his head and walked out.

His figure appeared so frail, and Ye Luo sighed; since Ao Long made this choice, what could he do?

Maybe if Ao Long faces another crisis, Ye Luo will still have to save him, but that’s for later.

Since the Dragon Clan sent Ao Long, they naturally expected how Ao Long would speak and act, meaning this situation today, the Dragon Clan had already anticipated it.

So why did they still send Ao Long? Why not directly take the next step?

But regardless, this was the South Territory after all, the Zi Wei Sect, Ye Luo’s Zi Wei Sect; the Dragon Clan came, so what?

With this thought, he paid no further attention, although Ao Long’s situation made him somewhat melancholic and upset.
