Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2777: Chapter 2778: Heart Demon Arises

In the grand hall of the Dihuang Sect, numerous high-level members gathered once again.

”Ancestor, although Hua’er acted recklessly in this matter, it was for the sake of our Sect. If he can really fight Ye Luo to a draw, it would also help restore some face for our Sect!” An Elder immediately said.

This Elder came from the same lineage as the master brother, so naturally, he was a bit biased in his words.

”Indeed, that kid Ye Luo is too arrogant. It’s necessary to suppress him!”

Many Elders echoed in agreement.

But those truly in high positions, like the Grand Elder and several Deputy Sect Masters, remained silent. They knew that the real orders came from the Ancestor, and no matter what others said, it was futile.

As expected, the Ancestor squinted, swept his gaze around, and finally let out a cold laugh.

”Have you all forgotten what I’ve told you in the orders before?”

With these words, the originally noisy scene in the great hall came to an abrupt stop.

The Elders and Hall Masters looked at the Ancestor in fear, obviously understanding what the Ancestor’s words meant! It meant that even if the master brother drew with Ye Luo this time, his fate would still be sealed! The outcome would be inescapable death!

”Ancestor, have mercy!”

The clansmen of the master brother’s lineage knelt and begged for mercy, for according to the rules, if one defied the orders, their entire clan would suffer.

”This time, it was his own decision, unrelated to you, the punishment will not extend to your clan!” The Ancestor said faintly.

Only then did these people breathe a sigh of relief. The Ancestor was decisive and ruthless, even towards his own Sect members, which is why the one-man rule phenomenon was formed in the Dihuang Sect.

However, after this, no one dared to speak further, and all looked towards the Ancestor.

”Do you really think I am ruthless? Hua’er is, after all, the top genius of our Dihuang Sect, and I am also reluctant to let him fall. However, with the life and death arena set, do you think he can walk away from it?” The Ancestor spoke coldly.

The cultivators below were immediately stunned. In their view, both Ye Luo and Hua’er were peerless geniuses of similar age, and even if Ye Luo was stronger, it didn’t mean he could kill Hua’er!

Before the King of Huainan’s attack arrives, this life-and-death arena served as a way to ease emotions in the tense situation!

Thus, what was originally a duel to the death between two people, developed in a direction beyond everyone’s expectations.

This life-and-death arena was built on a high mountain near Mount Wudang, and surprisingly, it was not constructed by the Wudang Sect but was jointly built by numerous sects.

The scale of the arena was large and impressive in momentum, and the surrounding mountains had already been transformed. Unknown loose cultivators set up gambling booths there! Normally, this would be considered unseemly in the Demon Realm, as cultivators focus on cultivation, and everything else is seen as heretical.

However, in this special situation, the gambling scene became extraordinarily lively, involving tens of thousands of cultivators!

Moreover, this life-and-death battle attracted many cultivators from other regions to watch! With two days left until the engagement date, the mountain was already packed with people.

There was no one to maintain order here, so before Ye Luo and the master brother even acted, many cultivators with grievances began dueling on the stage.

Ye Luo, upon hearing the news, found it both amusing and distressing, but he also understood the immense pressure the King of Huainan exerted on these cultivators, leading some to regard it as a certain death situation, thus making it their last revelry.

However, that master brother of the Dihuang Sect spent his days slandering Ye Luo everywhere, scandalizing him for nightly revelries, causing Ye Luo’s reputation to plummet.

Furthermore, he tirelessly brainwashed the two thousand cultivators, portraying Ye Luo as wicked, putting in a great deal of effort.

”This is too much, how can that guy be so despicable!” Qiong Yao couldn’t bear it and cursed out loud.

For a gentle lady like her to utter such words, her inner fury must have been immense.

”Sect Leader, the two thousand cultivators on the back mountain are like a ticking time bomb, provoked by that kid, they could riot at any moment! A riot would be a major disaster for the Wudang Sect!” The Disciplinary Elder said worriedly.

Logically, this was indeed the case, but last time, Ye Luo didn’t concern himself with those two thousand cultivators, for there was a reason.

”Since you’re so worried, then join me in checking on those two thousand cultivators!”

In fact, the reason he didn’t engage with these two thousand people that day was due to concerns about whether the forbidden technique was effective.

After all, these two thousand people were from the Dihuang Sect, a super sect with Martial Emperor Realm guards. It’s possible they might’ve manipulated these people!

But in recent days, based on his observations, he found nothing amiss! And the forbidden technique remains effective, such that his control over these two thousand is on par with the Allied Forces!

This shows the sharpness of the Demon Race’s forbidden techniques.

A few anxious individuals followed Ye Luo to the back mountain.

At this time, the master brother was assembling these two thousand people at an open area, declaring how weak the Wudang Sect was and how despicable Ye Luo was...

Seeing this scene, Ye Luo couldn’t help but chuckle, finding it absurd. The master brother seemed a bit obsessed, wanting fame desperately, leading him to commit such childish acts, which was beneath his shrewdness.

”Did you earn your title as the top genius of the Dihuang Sect with that mouth of yours?” Ye Luo suddenly laughed coldly.

The master brother swiftly turned, his eyes venomous as he looked at Ye Luo. Noticing his gaze, Ye Luo was briefly taken aback, seeming like this person had developed a heart demon, which is not favorable for a cultivator.

”Enjoy your arrogance for one more day, tomorrow will be your death day!” The master brother suddenly sneered wickedly, then returned to his tent.

Ye Luo slightly shook his head, having no fear of this master brother. Yet, seeing such a talent fall to such decay moved him with some pity.

However, he also understood that there would inevitably be a battle between himself and the master brother, otherwise, even with the forbidden technique employed on those two thousand, it would be hard to command them. After all, the master brother had led them for years, and his orders were ingrained in these disciples, forming an instinct.

When the day of the life-and-death arena finally came, the mountain became even livelier, turning into a grand event, with crowds not only on the mountain but also densely covering the foothills.
