Ye Luo sighed; if it’s meant to happen, it will. He wasn’t exactly low-key in the Holy City, and often visited those hidden big figures. It was inevitable that some people discovered his presence!

Moreover, according to Ye Luo’s estimation, it wouldn’t be long before the Emissary discovered it.

However, he had to do so, because time was truly limited for him, not to mention the fact that the captain was like a ticking time bomb!

When the Emissary comes to inspect, they would immediately notice something was wrong. By then, it would be when they truly fall out with the Emissary.

By then, even the Law Enforcers might come to annihilate them!

When Ye Luo appeared in the Gold Silk Forest, over a hundred Guards were already neatly arranged outside the Transmission Array. This scene caught the attention of the elder guarding the array, showing a surprised expression.

Generally speaking, most of these Guards understood their situation, so their apparent loyalty was already commendable.

But these hundred Guards were different; most seemed willing to be Guards.

Moreover, these cultivators didn’t seem foolish, so why were they willing to throw their lives away? After all, weren’t these Guards just the fertilizer of the Gold Silk Forest?

However, when the elder’s gaze fixed on a middle-aged man, his eyes immediately narrowed, and his aura suddenly changed, like a sword that had been sheathed for years, finally revealing a fierce presence.

And this middle-aged man calmly approached him.

"Old friend, it’s been a long time!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.

This middle-aged man was naturally the senior who created the Great Saint Physique, and to avoid attention, he had changed his appearance.

Of course, in front of true experts, such disguises were futile.

Moreover, this senior didn’t seem to intend to completely hide his identity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to step forward!

"I knew you wouldn’t give up, but this is just entering the grave earlier!" the elder sighed.

The senior laughed loudly at these words, "Even if I enter the grave, you, old thing, would be a step ahead of me!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere around them became subtle, gradually oppressing everyone with a stifling aura, suggesting that these two seniors had a very complicated relationship.

"Yujizi! We fought a battle before, but it was inconclusive. However, now that your injuries are too severe, and your cultivation has fallen much, I won’t make a move against you. I will surely seek your teachings once you recover!" the elder said indifferently.

Ye Luo’s heart was moved, could this senior’s name be Yujizi? Ye Luo had inquired before, but the senior hadn’t told him, perhaps because he felt Ye Luo’s current cultivation wasn’t worthy of that name!

Of course, Ye Luo wasn’t a local either, having little concept of the events that happened in the Sixth Region in earlier years, he didn’t know how formidable this Yujizi was. He only had some understanding through the peerless Body Refinement technique, the Great Saint Physique.

Yujizi smiled; evidently, he had long expected this result and returned to the Guards’ ranks unconcernedly.

The attitudes of the other Guards towards him completely changed!

The strength of the senior guarding the array was well-known, rumored to be on par with the Law Enforcers!

So who exactly was this middle-aged man, to be compared with this older senior, and their conversation was overheard by all, hearing the senior say they fought to a draw in the past!

Thus, this middle-aged man must be a hidden old senior who had been reduced to the level of a Guard only due to injury!

While being a Guard might be nine deaths and one life, such a senior, once he rises again, would become someone the Law Enforcers feared; how could he become the fertilizer of the Gold Silk Forest!

Therefore, the Guards’ expressions towards Yujizi were filled with admiration and fear.

After all, such a character was the real King; even with his fallen strength, he wasn’t someone these Guards could afford to offend!

"Alright, let’s report to the captain!" Ye Luo laughed as he spoke, seemingly unfazed by the previous conversation.

These Guards immediately understood that the middle-aged man’s attitude towards Ye Luo was almost to the point of blind obedience! This was clearly unusual, as he was a peerless expert, once on par with the Law Enforcers, but now he ignored other Guards; therefore, his relationship with Ye Luo must be very special!

Once this senior rose again, this Ye Luo would surely become extraordinary as well!

As such, these people were even more determined to follow Ye Luo.

It was certainly better than following the captain for the Emissary’s sake!

After all, how could the captain and the Emissary compare with such an old senior!

Ye Luo led these hundred Guard Squad members to the captain’s tent.

Along the way, naturally, they drew the attention of many Guards, with many even joining them. Although Ye Luo hadn’t ordered them to come, neither did he stop them.

In front of the captain’s tent, over ten Guards were sitting in meditation. Upon seeing Ye Luo, their eyes immediately brightened.

These were the ones who had previously pledged their loyalty to Ye Luo; it was evident they were in better spirits and cultivation levels than before Ye Luo left. Their circumstances had improved, and were no longer subject to abuse.

"Vice-captain, we didn’t expect you to return so soon!"

These people immediately approached Ye Luo excitedly.

"Not bad, you did well. I will reward you later!" Ye Luo nodded and smiled, making their faces even brighter with joy.

However, now wasn’t the time to reward these Guards; he had to address formalities first!

"Captain, the recruitment of Guards has been completed, please review it!" Ye Luo respectfully saluted towards the tent.

In reality, the captain was updated with the situation every so often, so now Ye Luo was fully aware of the Guard Squad’s status.

"I understand, but I am now at a critical point in my cultivation and cannot leave. These mundane matters, you settle them for me. Also, unless it’s something important, don’t disturb me again!"

After this, a fluctuating aura emanated from the tent, indicating a state only present during a breakthrough.

Could it be that the captain was about to break through realms?
