Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2781: Chapter 2782: The Mysterious Zhao

However, in the face of these two thousand troops, the forces in this region were already trembling with fear.

Even Ye Luo’s mood became heavy. Twenty thousand troops, even though the Allied Forces had already surpassed ten thousand, had no chance against these twenty thousand elite soldiers.

Obviously, these twenty thousand elite soldiers were veterans who frequently fought against the Demon Race, while Ye Luo’s over ten thousand cultivators were, frankly, a rabble. Moreover, in terms of coordination and tactics, they were not even on the same level.

As soon as he heard this news, Ye Luo immediately dismissed the idea of a head-on collision with the King of Huainan.

What a joke, isn’t that courting death?

Moreover, if these ten thousand were to suffer heavy casualties, the backlash from the Forbidden Technique on him would be substantial.

Now the small sects under Mount Wudang were like ants on a hot pan, because they knew that Ye Luo’s more than ten thousand Allied Forces could hardly protect themselves, let alone them.

Therefore, in the face of desperation, many sect cultivators began to attack each other, and this assault eventually did not spare even the disciples of the Wudang Sect.

Once a person is in despair, their mental state collapses first, and rationality is lost.

At this moment, Ye Luo dared not stop those sect troublemakers, because it was like a beehive. Once Ye Luo touched it, under these special circumstances, the Wudang Sect might become the target of public criticism.

Thus, Ye Luo made a decision: the Wudang Sect would temporarily close its doors, because the army of the King of Huainan had yet to make a move, and with such chaos in this region, Great Sects like the Dihuang Sect and Qiankun Sect understood Ye Luo’s actions.

After all, not everyone can control over ten thousand people. Not to mention anything else, even if all these cultivators were handed over to the Dihuang Sect, it would still be chaos.

Therefore, those Great Sects actually recognized Ye Luo’s actions.

Even if these over ten thousand cultivators could not clash directly with the King of Huainan’s army, at least the King of Huainan would have some scruples.

However, just when everyone thought Ye Luo chose to retreat out of fear of the King of Huainan, Ye Luo was not idle.

All these over ten thousand people were secretly moved by him to dig mines...

If anyone knew about Ye Luo’s actions, they would surely be dumbfounded.

In reality, Ye Luo was not overly afraid. If it came to it, he would just withdraw the Forbidden Technique and escape with Qiong Yao and Ling’er.

What happens to others is their fate! If Ye Luo had not come to this region, wouldn’t the King of Huainan come to conquer it anyway, wouldn’t casualties still occur?

”Ye Luo, isn’t the King of Huainan’s army already here? How come you’re here?”

Ling’er exclaimed as soon as she saw Ye Luo appear.

Behind her, more than two thousand people were enthusiastically mining.

This area was somewhat special. There were no mines around, a new location found by Ling’er, and it wasn’t far from Wudang. The Spiritual Energy here was extremely thin, so no cultivator wanted to cultivate here, and no cultivators lived here, which made mining quite convenient.

According to Ling’er, the Spiritual Energy was so thin because a strange rock layer was blocking the vein, causing the Spiritual Energy to be unable to escape.

”Haha, this time it’s not just me who came, but them too!”

Following Ye Luo’s hand, Ling’er looked over and was stunned at the sight of the dense crowd.

Nine thousand cultivators, not a small number at all.

”Oh my, how... did you bring them all here?” Ling’er murmured, obviously still somewhat incredulous.

”Of course, to help you mine. That rock layer is so hard, we can only rely on sheer numbers to break through!” Ye Luo frowned.

Ling’er finally reacted and quickly nodded, ”This is indeed one way. But if you bring all the Allied Forces here, what if the King of Huainan makes a move!”

In fact, this little girl was quite concerned about the situation; otherwise, she wouldn’t have already figured out that the King of Huainan’s army had just arrived and many small sects weren’t even aware yet.

But Ye Luo did not answer her question; he was worried about the King of Huainan making a move. If a real battle broke out, he could not let these over ten thousand Allied Forces clash head-on no matter what.

”How is that rock layer now?” Ye Luo suddenly asked.

”It’s very hard, you have to use mana and keep blasting it for it to have any effect!” Ling’er replied.

Ye Luo became interested and jumped down, immediately seeing a layer of fiery red rock. Saying it was a rock layer was actually a type of special material, of course, if used for Artifact Refining, it definitely wouldn’t work.

Then, Ye Luo struck it with a fist. Originally, this punch could exceed Martial King Realm Fifth Level in strength, but landing on this rock layer caused no ripple and only a fist-sized stone fragment fell.

Holding the fiery red stone fragment, Ye Luo furrowed his brows.

This material was very special, not necessarily very hard, but its surface was like a black hole, capable of absorbing and dissipating attack power!

Ye Luo didn’t know if it affected all attributes equally, but at least the strength cultivators possessed, even those who comprehended Dao Tempo, were basically ineffective against this material!

Even the Primordial Sword Dao was ineffective!

If this material could be refined into armor, it would be quite good. But this is simply impossible; not all materials are suitable for Artifact Refining. Even if this material were usable, the problem is it absorbs any strength, so how can it be refined?

But Ye Luo obviously didn’t want to delve into this issue, and immediately ordered those Allied Forces to come down and start digging this rock layer.

Even if the amount excavated each time was limited, as time passed, it could eventually be dug through.

Moreover, Ye Luo noticed that the King of Huainan did not seem to be attacking anytime soon. Clearly, he was waiting for something! Or, this campaign of his might not just be to annihilate the cultivators in this region, but there might be other purposes!

Could it be that the King of Huainan’s target is related to the Great Crown Prince’s task? This thought had formed long ago in Ye Luo’s mind, but now, the King of Huainan’s unusual actions further confirmed it.

Suddenly, Ye Luo furrowed his brows, for his physical body suddenly throbbed violently!

This throb felt like something was summoning him.
