Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2779: Chapter 2780: Divide and Conquer

The crowd around began to panic.

After all, these two thousand cultivators were trained elites, whereas the surrounding people might have some experts among them, but they were just trying to save themselves, and those with lesser cultivation could not withstand the impact of these two thousand cultivators!

Suddenly, the crowd started retreating slowly, fearing that Ye Luo would fight against these two thousand cultivators and they might get caught in the crossfire.

Surprisingly, these two thousand people stood quietly in front of Ye Luo, in neat formation, not showing any sign of attacking.

”Why are you still standing there? Kill him for me!” the Senior Brother roared in fury, as demonic qi surged from him, sustaining him through resentment and the power of his Heart Demon, with his vitality all but gone.

Inside him, only slaughter remained.

”Sorry, Senior Brother, you’re no longer our senior brother, and we won’t follow your orders!” a disciple suddenly said.

Each disciple wore a sorrowful expression, aware that the Senior Brother was nothing but a shell now, effectively already dead, and all of it, naturally, was due to Ye Luo. Yet, they didn’t harbor hatred towards Ye Luo nor dared to. They had to follow Ye Luo’s orders.

”You won’t follow my orders, then? Truly damnable, you all deserve to die!”

After speaking, his entire body suddenly exploded with demonic qi, releasing an immense force from within.

”Not good! Run quickly!”

All the cultivators around fled, as this force was stronger than a full-force strike from a Martial King realm expert, far exceeding the Senior Brother’s own strength.

Even Ye Luo was a bit surprised; logically, demonization shouldn’t possess such great power. Clearly, there were hidden truths within.

If this force were to impact those two thousand individuals, the losses would surely be severe!

Though they were elites, most of them were only at the Earth Martial Realm, unable to withstand such a blow.

The Primordial Sword Dao’s Destruction!

With three successive sword strikes, Ye Luo slashed forward.

The demonic qi naturally couldn’t withstand Ye Luo’s Primordial Sword Dao and quickly dissipated into pure demonic energy, vanishing between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the two thousand cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The surroundings were a mess. The originally bustling gathering now only had these two thousand cultivators and some of the Wudang Sect’s members, who were cleaning up the battlefield.

Ye Luo squinted his eyes but suddenly chuckled lightly.

”You still want to play these tricks with me? Truly foolish!”

In low murmurs, Ye Luo’s Fire Origin suddenly rose from his palm.

Instantly, a shrill scream echoed in his mind, followed by a surge of demonic qi abruptly rushing out from his body, only to be ignited by the Fire Origin and quickly consumed.

”Kid, our Western Demon God’s Hall won’t let you go!”

Ye Luo snorted coldly; he hadn’t guessed wrong; the Senior Brother indeed had ties to the Demon God’s Hall, specifically the Western Demon God’s Hall! It seemed this area had been invaded by demon races from other Demon Gods’ Hall, and likely, others from these halls were hidden within other sects, possibly with the same purpose as Ye Luo.

Nonetheless, Ye Luo had previously asked the Emissary, who had not intentionally tried to make things difficult for Ye Luo, as she was unaware of the task and reward. Before coming, the Great Crown Prince had instructed her that once the time was ripe, he would transmit the task and reward to her using secret techniques.

Essentially, she was just a mere figurehead now.

Of course, at this point, the Emissary wouldn’t lie to him either, meaning the task was extraordinary, beyond what Ye Luo’s current strength warranted to be informed of.

However, Ye Luo was not in a hurry, as other Demon God’s Hall had also infiltrated this area, making King of Huainan’s recent expedition somewhat lively.

At this moment, those two thousand cultivators stared at Ye Luo, their gazes becoming complex.

In their hearts, they wouldn’t sincerely submit to Ye Luo, but they couldn’t disobey his orders; now with their Senior Brother deceased, Ye Luo had rightfully become their Commander.

”Self-defense team, follow me back to the sect!” Ye Luo commanded coldly.

Subsequently, the two thousand self-defense team members neatly followed behind Ye Luo; the self-defense team was well-trained, with combat strength far exceeding that of the Allied Forces. However, Ye Luo’s Allied Forces now numbered nine thousand strong! This number was entirely capable of countering the King of Huainan.

Moreover, other Great Sects outside the Allied Forces began becoming vigilant.

Initially, they disregarded Ye Luo’s seven thousand Allied Forces, but with the inclusion of the Dihuang Sect’s two thousand self-defense team, it became completely different.

Arguably, Ye Luo now had the ability to annihilate any Great Sect! Of course, against a supreme sect like the Dihuang Sect, even with the Allied Forces, it still seemed somewhat inadequate.

Now, with the two thousand self-defense team joining in, the Allied Forces expanded to nine thousand.

These nine thousand cultivators stood on the Wudang Sect’s square, and even if they did not deliberately exude their presence, the feeling was overwhelmingly impressive.

If it were ordinary folk, facing so many cultivators would certainly invoke a sense of fear; just take those few elders of the Wudang Sect, their age far exceeding Ye Luo’s, yet facing these cultivators, their expressions were naturally tense.

However, Ye Luo’s demeanor remained unchanged, not as an act, but his mind reached a certain level of realm, leaving everyone impressed.

Next, Ye Luo divided these nine thousand cultivators into smaller groups! First, the self-defense team and Allied Forces mustn’t be confused, so Ye Luo delegated the Allied Forces to the Hall Master while personally managing the two thousand self-defense team.

Both the Allied Forces and self-defense team were split into smaller squads internally, with squad leaders handpicked by Ye Luo, absolutely loyal cultivators, even utilising Xiao Wu and Qiong Yao personally, as Ye Luo had too few people he could rely on!

Ultimately, he resorted to special methods, forcibly controlling some cultivators, intimidating their spirits, ensuring absolute loyalty before placing them in squad leader positions.

Once this was completed, the Allied Forces were mostly sorted, leaving only sharpening the blades before battle, training for mutual cooperation, all entrusted to the Hall Master and those squad leaders, while Ye Luo acted as a laissez-faire manager.

After all, recruiting and training an army wasn’t a matter that could be accomplished overnight, so to enhance the fighting power of the Allied Forces, it couldn’t be done in a short time, thus Ye Luo chose not to waste time on it.
