Chapter 278 The Ancient Battlefield Opens
"Oh, so it's a major clan from the Central Region."
Ye Luo looked stunned, covered her mouth and took a few steps back, then grinned and said, "In that case... Ling Qing, let's cripple his legs and make him crawl back to the Central Region to call for reinforcements."
"Yes, sir!" Ling Qing respectfully responded and stepped forward, striking without mercy and cleanly crippling his two legs.
Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed throughout the street, sending chills down everyone's spines. A wave of fear washed over the crowd, and they all involuntarily took a few steps back.
This happened so suddenly that no one around them expected it. They never thought that Ye Luo, who seemed so frail, would show such a ruthless side.
Ling Qing looked at the person lying on the ground struggling in pain, her eyes cold and indifferent as she bowed and said, "Young Master, it's alright now."
"Hmm, not bad." Ye Luo chuckled. "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare your life. If you want revenge, I'll be waiting for you at the Tianfeng Sect."
After saying that, Ye Luo gave everyone a wink and walked away into the distance, leaving the crowd still buzzing with discussion.
In a secluded street corner, Yan Xiao, dressed in black, quietly emerged from the shadows.
His gaze followed the receding figure, a complex emotion welling up within him, until the figure disappeared from sight.
After withdrawing his gaze, he turned to an old man beside him and said, "From now on, you must do your best to serve all people from Peach Blossom Valley who come here."
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression froze for a moment. A sharp glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes as if he were pondering something. After a moment, he slowly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
...
After returning to Peach Blossom Valley, Ye Luo did not immediately return to her cave. Instead, she sent the spiritual liquid she obtained from the black market to Fu Yun in the sect's secret realm.
After a brief chat, Ye Luo began to organize the materials at hand, intending to make the most of the time to finish the remaining array stones, which would also relieve him of a heavy burden.
After several busy days, Ye Luo finally finished making all the array stones. Now only the final array arrangement and some minor details remain.
Ye Luo checked his storage bracelet with his divine sense and found that he had almost run out of spirit stones, which worried him greatly.
According to the ancient records, it would be almost impossible to activate this magic array without several million spirit stones.
Moreover, he also expanded the range of the magic array without authorization, almost encompassing the entire area of the sect's buildings. It would probably take tens of millions of spirit stones to transmit this magic array.
"Damn it... the spirit stones Jun Yi gave me are almost all gone now." Ye Luo said with a worried look on his face. He used to think it was too much. He sighed, "Tsk, looks like I'll have to find a way to earn some airfare..."
As he walked toward the cave dwelling, he saw Meng Xiaoshan rushing over, panting, saying, "Junior Brother Ye... the Sect Leader invites you to the council hall."
"Okay, sure."
...
When Ye Luo stepped into the council hall, he found that everyone had been waiting for a long time. What surprised him even more was that Yu Xuan was also among them.
With a slight smile on her face, Ye Luo slowly walked up to Yu Xuan and said in a teasing tone, "What are you doing here at our Peach Blossom Valley sect meeting?"
His words were full of teasing, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. This made Yu Xuan, who couldn't quite grasp his temperament, instantly feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
His eyes unconsciously glanced at Yu Qianling, then he stood up somewhat aggrievedly and said to Yu Qianling, "Then I'll go out and wait for you."
However, Yu Qianling didn't let him leave. She grabbed Yu Xuan, glared at Ye Luo, and said, "What are you doing here! You sit right next to me!"
"Oh my, I didn't expect Junior Sister Yu to stand up for her so quickly." Sitting down, Xiao Huan couldn't help but cross his legs and laugh heartily as he watched this scene.
The people present couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the entire council hall instantly became relaxed.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let's get down to business." At this moment, Ming Cang, who was sitting in the main seat, waved to Ye Luo, who was standing in the hall, and said, "Xiao Luo, quickly find a seat."
"Oh," Ye Luo responded, casually finding a seat to sit down, and said, "Master, are we discussing going to the ancient battlefield?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Ming Cang put down his teacup and nodded, saying, “The Immortal Alliance has set a time. We have to set off in three days. The reason I called you here today is to discuss the selection of people to enter the secret realm.”
“Master, you can make the decision yourself,” Cen Feng said. “I’ll just follow your arrangements.”
The elder said solemnly, "Because this ancient battlefield is more dangerous than any previous secret realm, we need to consult your opinions first."
"Is it dangerous inside?" Xiao Huan asked.
The Grand Elder said solemnly, "That's natural. In fact, the ancient battlefield secret realm of the cultivation world is a fragment that collapsed after a great battle in ancient times. It contains all kinds of unknown dangers, and historically, no more than 30% of people have been able to come out alive."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Ming Cang said, "Alright, that's enough. Think it over carefully before deciding whether to register."
Xiao Huan swallowed hard, a sense of hesitation rising in his heart.
Just then, Jian Yu suddenly spoke up, "Even so... I still want to give it a try."
The Grand Elder showed a pleased expression, "Very good! What dangers should we cultivators fear? What path of cultivation is without peril?"
"Although it is extremely dangerous there, the opportunities there are immeasurable. If you are lucky, you may obtain some great fortune, and your strength may increase by more than just a little bit."
Xiao Huan thought for a moment and said, "Then, then I'll go too..."
"Tch, look at you, such a coward. Don't worry, we'll protect you." Yu Qianling couldn't help but tease, "We promise we won't scare you so much you'll pee your pants, hahaha!"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Xiao Huan blushing. Ming Cang noticed Ye Luo staring blankly in her seat and said, "Xiao Luo, you shouldn't go to the ancient battlefield this time."
