Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1821: Chapter 1823: Ambush Attack

But now, they’re lying in ambush here, ready to confront Ye Luo!

The boundaries between regions are not something anyone can traverse at will!

The powerful presences within these boundaries — even the Commerce Alliance — have paid a huge price just to send ten thousand people over!

This time, the Commerce Alliance has put in enough investment!

Ye Luo wants to open the boundary between the Ninth Region and the Eighth Region, but it is not as simple as imagined!

Last time, Ye Luo found a relatively simple passageway through the boundary, that being the Wuling Nation, but that was the heartland of the Commerce Alliance!

If Ye Luo wants to open a channel from there, wouldn’t he have to first destroy most of the Commerce Alliance’s forces?

This seems to still be somewhat difficult.

And if he chooses not to go there, but opts for another place, finding a suitable location is another story. Besides, the spiritual power explosion between boundaries alone can stop the vast majority.

To cross boundaries, one word describes it: difficulty!

Initially, Ye Luo had no idea he had already fallen into danger, naturally lacking any precautions.

Ye Luo was too confident; in his eyes, now that Great Tang and Da Yue are his, how could anyone be against him?

Of course, this also blames the Commerce Alliance for hiding so well.

At this time, Ye Luo had already led people into the Nameless Valley. Just as he entered, an inexplicable tension arose in his heart.

Ye Luo didn’t know why, but at first, he didn’t pay much attention.

However, the deeper he ventured into this Nameless Valley, the more pronounced the tension and worry became, prompting Ye Luo to stop involuntarily.

”What’s wrong?”

Ao Long asked Ye Luo strangely.

Ye Luo frowned slightly and said, ”I don’t know, but I always have a bad feeling, making me restless. I don’t know why?”

Upon hearing this, Ao Long frowned as well.

”Don’t ignore such feelings. Although it sounds mysterious, sometimes people can often predict danger. Better to stay alert.”

Ao Long didn’t mock Ye Luo nor stop him, instead spoke in this manner.

Ye Luo nodded and instructed a nearby guard: ”Take some people and thoroughly investigate the surroundings!”

The guard, having heard the conversation between Ye Luo and Ao Long, naturally knew the decision stemmed from Ye Luo’s concerns.

As a guard, he wouldn’t question Ye Luo’s decision, whether right or wrong; it’s Ye Luo’s business, and his task is to execute the order well.

Soon, fifty guards divided into different directions, seemingly prepared to investigate the Nameless Valley thoroughly.

This Nameless Valley isn’t large nor small, and its terrain is a typical valley, though it’s nothing special. Of course, despite its ordinary appearance, ambushing someone here is absolutely feasible.

Thus, everyone found Ye Luo’s worry understandable.

However, since this area is the junction of Da Yue and Great Tang, many thought Ye Luo was overthinking it.

If there were danger, it would have erupted earlier, why wait until now?

Yet, as everyone was pondering this, a sudden warning cry came from a distance, followed by figures appearing everywhere!

It turns out, one guard sent out to investigate inadvertently discovered some fresh soil. Being meticulous, he noticed it, while others bypassed it to continue their search—only he persistently dug beneath to uncover the truth!

But unbeknownst to him, the Commerce Alliance’s personnel were hidden underground.

Thus, discovery was inevitable.

The guard’s meticulousness led him to find the enemy but also brought doom upon himself.

Upon seeing the danger, he had no chance to resist; his sole recourse was a shout of alarm!

He succeeded in warning Ye Luo and others, but sacrificed himself.

Seeing that their plan was exposed, the Commerce Alliance’s people didn’t wait for Ye Luo to reach the ambush circle but emerged all at once.

Initially, the dispatched guards were the first to encounter these Commerce Alliance individuals and were swiftly slaughtered!

These troops hailed from the Eighth Region, and despite Ye Luo’s guards being elite, carefully selected by the Da Yue Empire, they paled in comparison!

”Protect the king!”

The guard captain shouted, instructing everyone to encircle Ye Luo.

However, viewing the increasingly dense waves of enemies and the potent spiritual power fluctuations they exuded, anyone could see that the situation was dire!

”Hurry, Your Majesty, leave quickly, we’ll hold the enemies!”

Faced with formidable foes, these guards didn’t hesitate at all and immediately suggested Ye Luo leave first.

But was departure really that simple?

At this moment, light screens had already risen all around.

As it turns out, the Commerce Alliance’s people had prepared well, with various formations already in place, waiting for Ye Luo to arrive to activate them.

These formations include offensive, defensive, and, more importantly, trapping arrays!

Their goal is clear: capture Ye Luo if possible, or kill if not!

”Kill!”

Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing erupted; the enemy attacked without hesitation. In their eyes, these palace guards were like mere ants, easily crushed!

They hailed from the Eighth Region’s elite, with an average strength reaching the Fifth Rank Spirit Martial Realm!

With such terrifying cultivation, how could these palace guards possibly withstand them!

In just one encounter, Ye Luo’s palace guards were slaughtered en masse, not even having a chance to retaliate!

Ye Luo watched this scene, his eyes filled with coldness. It’s not that he doesn’t care about the guards’ deaths, as they died to protect him, and Ye Luo knows the reasons clearly, but he is helpless.

Being trapped from all sides now, neither those guards nor Ye Luo himself might be able to escape here.

Those guards merely took the step before Ye Luo!

”Senior, this time, afraid we won’t get out!”

Ye Luo spoke indifferently.

Ao Long also frowned slightly—indeed, escape seemed impossible!

There are ten thousand Spirit Martial Realm experts, plus numerous formations aiding. Breaking through, how easy could it be!

”Hmph, the Commerce Alliance spared no expense to deal with you; so many Spirit Martial Realm experts brought from the Eighth Region, who knows how much they sacrificed. Fine, kid, don’t overthink it, let’s fight freely this day—let’s battle fiercely!”
