Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2746: Chapter 2747: Approaching Crisis

King of Huainan? Ye Luo was surprised. Last time, the son of the King of Huainan met his demise in this area, causing quite a stir but yielding no results!

Moreover, at that time, because Ye Luo possessed the red command token, the subordinates of the King of Huainan didn’t pay him any attention!

However, this time coming back full force, it certainly won’t be that simple.

Or perhaps the King of Huainan already knows some truths. After all, even if Ye Luo was disguised at the time, it doesn’t guarantee that there weren’t some big figures present!

And now, he can’t be sure just how powerful the red command token really is, so he truly ought to prepare in advance.

Of course, these secrets he naturally would not disclose to others.

”Oh? Is that the case? I heard that before I arrived at Mount Wudang, someone killed the son of the King of Huainan, and the investigation back then ended inconclusively. Could it be that the King of Huainan is making a big fuss over this matter again?” Ye Luo slowly said.

The two Deputy Sect Masters nodded immediately, after all, this wasn’t exactly a secret anymore.

”Probably because of this, that King of Huainan is insidious and overbearing. Once he sends troops, it will certainly cause devastation. Now that he’s here again, even if us sects manage to escape, we might still be affected!” The Deputy Sect Master of Qiankun Sect said worriedly.

Even the powerful Qiankun Sect is helpless against an army. The higher-ups don’t really care too much as long as they’re not surrounded by troops; their chances of escape are high. However, those disciples and the lower levels of the sect wouldn’t be so lucky.

And if a sect loses its disciples and lower levels, how can it still be called a sect!

Besides, among the lower levels are the clansmen of these high-ranking people, and they certainly wouldn’t abandon their clansmen.

”So, this time, Qiankun Sect isn’t planning to relocate?” Ye Luo asked, knowing full well what the answer would be.

The Deputy Sect Master smiled bitterly immediately, ”Sect Master is right. Whether to relocate this time seems meaningless. I heard that the forces in this region are already on the King of Huainan’s blacklist. Even if we escape, we’ll be hard-pressed to avoid being slaughtered!”

This made Ye Luo curious, what exactly does the King of Huainan intend to do? If it’s for revenge for his son, he could come directly to Ye Luo, no need to blacklist other forces!

But the King of Huainan’s personality is peculiar to begin with, no matter what he does, it’s not surprising.

”Does Qiankun Sect have any plans?” Ye Luo asked, completely unfazed.

”Sect Master, the situation is urgent, I might as well tell you directly! Among the nobility, there is a disciple of our sect’s ancestor who obtained this information. Originally, the King of Huainan intended to quietly slaughter the forces in this region, but as for the purpose, it’s still hard to say. Nonetheless, we can’t sit and wait for death, can we? So, following the ancestor’s guidance, we came to seek alliance with the Wudang Sect!” The Deputy Sect Master was evidently quite anxious, no longer beating around the bush, and directly revealed the plan.

So, that’s why he sent so many treasures; he was actually playing this angle!

Beside him, the deputy sect master of the Xiaoyao Sect was stupefied upon hearing this.

He even suspected, could this Deputy Sect Master of Qiankun Sect be offering counterfeit goods, why would the esteemed Qiankun Sect seek alliance with the Wudang Sect?

But those gifts, ordinary people certainly couldn’t produce them!

Moreover, if the King of Huainan came, the Xiaoyao Sect too would be destined for destruction, and so he was quite glad he stayed this time. If nothing else, learning about this earlier gives more preparation time, increasing survival chances substantially.

”Deputy Sect Master is joking, our Wudang Sect has just been established, where would we have such capabilities? Why don’t you take these treasures back instead?” Ye Luo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Sect Master wore a mournful face, knowing full well that Ye Luo, despite saying so, had already placed those treasures into his Qiankun Ring. Based on Ye Luo’s character, once he consumes something, there’s no way he’d cough it back up!

”Sect Master jokes, those treasures are meant for the development of the Wudang Sect, unrelated to this matter!” The Deputy Sect Master said with an awkward smile. ”Our Sect Master has already stated, the sect will organize a guard squad, numbering about fifty people, which can be dispatched by the Sect Master!”

Ye Luo’s eyes immediately lit up, this was exactly what he’d been waiting for! Even with resources, the Wudang Sect nowadays can’t readily gather so many experts.

”Fifty people! Qiankun Sect has hundreds of disciples, thousands of sect members, isn’t fifty a bit too few!” Ye Luo said lightly.

”I can make the decision to expand it to eighty people, after all, these individuals are the elites among the disciples. If any more, Qiankun Sect truly can’t provide them!” The Deputy Sect Master said through gritted teeth.

This finally made Ye Luo smile, ”In that case, I can only bite the bullet and accept this!”

But then, the Deputy Sect Master furrowed his brow, ”Sect Master, I just heard, you fell out with quite a few sects, if that’s the case, losing the power of those sects will make us weak!”

Ye Luo smiled without speaking, ”You need not worry about this, I have my arrangements!”

Afterwards, Ye Luo exchanged some words with the two Deputy Sect Masters before seeing them out of the main hall.

The Xiaoyao Sect’s power was weak to begin with, ultimately agreeing to select thirty disciples for Ye Luo to assign.

Ye Luo originally did not expect much from the Xiaoyao Sect, it was only this Deputy Sect Master who took the initiative, the first to pledge allegiance, and that’s why Ye Luo kept him here.

”Ye Luo!”

At this moment, Qiong Yao hurriedly ran in.

”Once those sects return, they might act against us. If they unite to attack us, how can our Wudang Sect withstand?” Qiong Yao said worriedly.

”Hehe, even if they unite, what can they do? Do you think your husband would fear them?” Ye Luo smirked wickedly as he walked toward Qiong Yao.

”Ye Luo, I’m talking seriously... ah!”

Before she could finish her words, Ye Luo hoisted her up and pressed her onto the mat.

”No, Ye Luo! Ling’er is still outside!” Qiong Yao immediately exclaimed in surprise; she naturally understood what Ye Luo intended to do.

Ye Luo paused for a moment and glanced at the doorway, Ling’er was indeed standing there, looking completely bewildered!

”Hehe, if you want to keep watching, be my guest. If not, you might as well close the door!” Ye Luo chuckled.

Whenever Ye Luo engaged in such matters, he enjoyed blocking out all mana, so he could savor the sensation instinctively.

Ling’er hastily fumbled to close the door and then scampered away.
