Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 773: Chapter 773: First Meeting with the Five Elements Sect Leader_1

Hearing the overbearing and murderous words of the other party, and seeing their disdainful eyes directed at him, Ye Luo’s brow furrowed, feeling secretly displeased in his heart.

Towards such a domineering woman who also possessed a modicum of beauty, what Ye Luo wanted to do the most was to press her onto a bed and thoroughly conquer her, to see if she would still dare to be so arrogant.

However, these thoughts could only remain in his imagination for now, because the gap in strength between him and his opponent was still quite vast.

What Ye Luo didn’t know was that this thought of his would come true in the not too distant future, and even Huo Ji would never imagine that the man she now saw as an ant and completely looked down upon would become her master in the future, the only man in her life.

”You’re from the Five Elements Sect?”

After hearing the other party asking him to hand over the Fire Origin Pearl, Ye Luo understood their identity—they must be from the Five Elements Sect, and it seemed they were from the Fire Sect.

”You actually know about the Five Elements Sect? It seems you have quite a bit of knowledge about us. Since that’s the case, I simply cannot let you go. Hand over the Fire Origin Pearl willingly, and I’ll let you die a swift death. Otherwise, I’ll let you taste my methods, and I’ll make sure you experience a pain like no other,” Huo Ji said, her pupils gleaming with a cruel light as she gazed at Ye Luo.

”Huo Ji, who allowed you to be here?”

Just then, an authoritative voice sounded from nowhere, causing Ye Luo’s expression to change while Huo Ji’s face also transformed, and she swiftly turned her head to see two figures approaching.

A woman dressed in a water-blue gown exuded an elegant air; she was a presence at the Fifth Level of the Hua Yuan Realm, none other than Shui Lanxin, the Water Sect Elder of the Five Elements Sect.

The other was also a woman who, whether in beauty, figure, temperament, or strength, far outstripped both Shui Lanxin and Huo Ji.

This person was none other than Duan Ningyu, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect. She walked over in a multicolored gauzy dress, her lotus steps light. Her stunning face bore a hint of nobility, and she radiated an overwhelming aura of majesty.

”I pay my respects to Sect Leader!”

Upon seeing Duan Ningyu, Huo Ji quickly knelt halfway to the ground and respectfully called out.

”Huo Ji, are you now disobeying my commands as well, daring to leave the Sect on your own accord to come here?” Duan Ningyu’s face was stern, and she looked at Huo Ji with imposing authority.

”Your subordinate dares not. It’s just that I heard that Ye Luo was in the Capital City, and now with the auction, all the major forces have gathered here.”

”I was worried that something might happen to the Fire Origin Pearl, so I did not report to you in time and came to the Capital City. Everything I did was for the sake of the Five Elements Sect, I beg for your forgiveness, Sect Leader,” Huo Ji said, still half-kneeling and bowing her head.

”Hmph, this time I will forgive you just this once. Return immediately; if you dare leave on your own again, I will strip you of your position as the Fire Sect Elder.”

Duan Ningyu’s voice rang out with icy indifference, filled with such authority that it brooked no opposition.

This authority was cultivated by Duan Ningyu as the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, and it was further amplified by her formidable strength.

”Yes, Sect Leader,” Huo Ji’s eyes flashed with a reluctant look, but she nodded and quickly left the place.

Duan Ningyu, accompanied by Shui Lanxin, approached Ye Luo and quietly observed him.

”You are the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect!”

Ye Luo’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise as he looked at Duan Ningyu.

”That’s right, I am the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect,” Duan Ningyu nodded, her gaze lingering on Ye Luo with a hint of peculiarity.

”You also want to take back that Fire Origin Pearl,” Ye Luo spoke up.

”Can we talk?” Duan Ningyu asked, looking at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo glanced at Duan Ningyu and asked, ”What do you want to talk about?”

”That Fire Origin Pearl is of no use to you, but it is a precious treasure to my Five Elements Sect. I hope you will hand it over to me,” Duan Ningyu said calmly.

”With your strength being so formidable, why don’t you just take it from me?” Ye Luo asked, somewhat surprised by her approach.

Duan Ningyu’s lips curled into a faint smile, ”Someone who can contend with the Saint Realm while only in the Innate Realm is certainly a monstrous talent. I believe you must have a powerful force or a formidable master behind you.”

”Neither a powerful force nor a mighty sage is something I wish to offend. If the Fire Origin Pearl can be taken peacefully, that would be ideal.”

”Of course, if you hand the Fire Origin Pearl over to me, I can agree to some other requests of yours, as long as they’re not excessive and within my power to grant.”

Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Duan Ningyu, ”What I, Ye Luo, obtain I have never had a precedent of handing over. However, since you’ve said so, I will consider it. Once I have made up my mind, I will naturally give you the Fire Origin Pearl.”

”I will give you time to think, and I hope the answer will be the one I wish to hear when the time comes.”

Duan Ningyu briefly spoke before turning and leaving. Shui Lanxin glanced at Ye Luo and followed Duan Ningyu away.

”Sect Leader, why didn’t we just capture him and force him to reveal the location of the Fire Origin Pearl? If we handle it cleanly, even if there’s a powerful force or high-level master behind him, we don’t need to be afraid,”

”Besides, based on his conduct in the Capital City these past few days, he doesn’t seem like a disciple from any major faction. Perhaps he has no background at all.”

After leaving Ye Luo, Shui Lanxin couldn’t help but speak to Duan Ningyu.

Duan Ningyu nodded, ”I’m well aware of this. However, you should also know that this person has connections with many forces in the Capital City, even with Huaxia’s War God team. ”

”If we act against him now, I’m concerned about the potential adverse impact on the Five Elements Sect. It would be best if we could retrieve the Fire Origin Pearl without causing any issues.”

”Moreover, what we need to focus on now is the treasure map fragment from the Holy Sky Alliance auction tomorrow. Once we obtain it and find the remaining fragments to discover that batch of treasures, that will be the true foundation for the resurgence of our Five Elements Sect.”

”Understood,” said Shui Lanxin with a nod.

”It’s also time to clean up the people around you,” hinted Duan Ningyu with a glance towards Shui Lanxin, who showed a glint of an unusual gleam in her eyes.

Returning to the villa, Ye Luo went straight into his room and took out two beads—one emerald green and the other fiery red.

He carried these two beads with him because he felt they were extraordinary, and now he took them out again.

”Xiao Ba, do you know what these two beads are for?”

Ye Luo wanted Xiao Ba to check the use of these two beads since as the Instrument Soul of a King’s Tool, it existed for thousands of years and naturally knew much more than him.
