Chapter 994: Discrimination
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It looks like Han Yun is probably nearby. Your master’s spatial technique is really amazing.” Ye Chen looked around as he spoke to Luo.
Luo smiled. “Master has been researching this kind of thing for many years. In terms of spatial techniques, no one outside the Kunlun Mountains can compare to her.”
“By the way, Mr. Ye, shall we go find Han Yun now?”
Ye Chen nodded. He glanced at the top of the mountain and saw a Daoist temple surrounded by dense spiritual energy. Han Yun was probably there.
“Let’s go, Luo,” Ye Chen said.
Luo nodded. She suddenly thought of something. She tilted her head and said, “Mr. Ye, don’t you think it’s awkward to call me Luo? Why don’t I change my name to Luo from today onward, and use the same surname as you? How about calling me Ye Luo?”
“This is what my master told me before I left. She said that this name represents the return of fallen leaves to their roots and the search for their past.”
Ye Chen was stunned. He took a long look at her. She was so innocent. If she knew that the blood of the Blood Spirit Clan flowed in her veins, he wondered how she would feel.
However, he had to keep this secret for the time being.
“Alright, from now on, you will be Ye Luo.”
The two of them then headed toward the top of the mountain.
Soon, Ye Chen saw people in front of him, many of which he had seen before. They were all geniuses who had entered the secret realm from the major forces.
Helpless, Ye Chen took out Ye s.h.i.tian’s mask and put it on.
After all, it was Ye s.h.i.tian who entered the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, not Ye Chen.
This would save him some trouble.
After meeting Han Yun, he planned to meet up with Mo Ning and Ye Lingtian.
Although Ye Luo was puzzled as to why Ye Chen was wearing a mask, she did not say anything. In this place, it was normal for people to hide their faces.
Ye Chen and Ye Luo soon arrived near the mountaintop. There were tents set up on all sides, and even some bonfires burning.
Almost every corner of this place was occupied by these experts, who were all watching and waiting, staring at the entrance of the Daoist temple.
Reverence, antic.i.p.ation, and complex emotions were on their faces as they waited for Han Yun to appear.
However, soon, many people noticed Ye Chen and Ye Luo. There was a hint of hostility in their eyes.
After all, they were all from the various top sects and powerful families in the Kunlun Mountains. Since they did not recognize these two, it meant that these were lowly rogue cultivators.
Although they could not sense Ye Chen’s cultivation level, since he had the mask on, they could still easily sense Ye Luo’s cultivation level…
Saint king realm!
Most of the people present were origin king, Daoyuan, and even a few Supreme Emperor realm geniuses. To them, saint king realm cultivators were no different from trash.
Ye Chen was not surprised by these gazes and did not say anything. However, Ye Luo was a little uncomfortable.
“Mr. Ye, why do these people’s gazes make me so uncomfortable? Or are all men in the outside world like this?”
Ye Chen did not intend to cause any trouble. He simply said, “Ignore them. These guys are just suffering from a superiority complex.”
“I see.” Ye Luo nodded. “Then, Mr. Ye, what should we do next? Should we wait here or go in?”
Ye Chen glanced at the entrance. It was wide open. He did not understand why no one had stepped in.
Was there a formation?
“Let’s go over and take a look.”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen and Ye Luo headed toward the door, but before they could get close, they were blocked by two young men.
The young men were dressed in luxurious clothes, and there were insignias on their chests,
If Ye Chen remembered correctly, these should be disciples of the Linghai Sect.
The Linghai Sect was considered one of the first-cla.s.s factions in the Kunlun Mountains, and not too far off in terms of strength from Ji Siqing’s Sky Mist Sect.
The two of them stood in front of Ye Chen and Ye Luo, clearly not intending to let them pa.s.s.
“What do you want?” Ye Chen frowned.
The two Linghai Sect disciples looked at Ye Chen and sneered, “Don’t you know the rules here?”
After saying that, one of the Linghai Sect disciples pointed at a wooden tablet in the distance.
“That’s the reason. Are you blind?”
Ye Chen and Ye Luo glanced at the words on the wooden tablet the disciple was pointing to.
“Rogue cultivators are not allowed to enter!”
These few simple words exuded a sense of superiority.
“Do you understand now?”
Ye Luo had never been treated like this before. She had thought that everyone outside was like Ye Chen, but she did not expect them to be so annoying.
Rogue cultivator?
Could it be that Mr. Ye was a rogue cultivator?
She took a step forward and questioned them, “You are a bunch of outsiders. This place was not created by you. Why can’t we enter?!”
“Outsiders?”
The Linghai Sect disciple was stunned.
“Little girl, how dare you talk to me like that when you’re only a saint king realm cultivator? Do you know where I rank on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings?”
Naturally, Ye Luo did not know about the Heaven’s Declaration rankings. She puffed out her chest and said angrily, “I don’t care what your ranking is on the Heaven’s Declaration rankings. Get out of the way, or Mr. Ye and I will not let you off!”
Hou Yong and the other Linghai Sect disciple were surprised when they heard Ye Luo’s tone. Then, their greedy gazes landed on Ye Luo.
These days, they had been guarding this place for a long time.
After all, the powers behind the other geniuses who set up camp here could not be underestimated.
Naturally, they could not afford to offend them. Therefore, seeing a pretty rogue cultivator was extremely tempting to them, and their l.u.s.tful desires were aroused.
Hou Yong smiled wretchedly. “Little girl, if you want to step in, of course you can. As long as you become my woman, you will be free from the t.i.tle of rogue cultivator. The rules will naturally not be able to restrict you then.”
As Hou Yong spoke, he even stretched out his hand toward Ye Luo’s body. Seeing this, Ye Luo was furious.
She had never been so insulted!
Spiritual energy swirled around her fingers as she crushed a talisman. It turned into a silver needle, which embedded itself into Hou Yong’s palm.
Seconds later, Hou Yong’s eyes widened because he realized that his entire arm had suddenly swelled up, and was gradually turning black!
He gathered his spiritual energy and tried to counter the energy contained within the silver needle, but he soon realized that it was impossible!
