The Lord of Slaughter glanced at the guardian and said, “Send ten more experts to guard each entrance. Anyone who enters or leaves must be strictly investigated and searched!”
“Also, start searching the periphery of the Land of Slaughter! If you have any news, report to me immediately!”
“If I don’t see Ye s.h.i.tian in a day, chop off your head and leave it outside the door!”
When the one-eyed guardian heard the last sentence, his expression changed drastically. It was obvious that the Lord of Slaughter was blaming him for the failure to find Ye s.h.i.tian.
Although he felt wronged, he did not dare to say anything. He could only focus his efforts on finding Ye s.h.i.tian at all costs.
This was his only path to survival!
Half an hour later, Ye Chen, Luo Yao, and the others arrived at a sealed door, which was guarded by more than ten experts.
Not far away, Ye Chen saw Wen Shishi and Wen Tingting.
The two of them were obviously still in shock. When they saw Ye Chen, they quickly jogged over.
“Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen’s appearance put their hearts at rest.
“Did anything happen last night?” Ye Chen asked with concern.
The two girls shook their heads.
“Mr. Ye, we’re safe. We have to thank Miss Luo Yao for personally sending people to guard us. Otherwise, something might really have happened to us.”
Ye Chen did not expect Luo Yao to do this, and he looked at Luo Yao gratefully.
Luo Yao nodded and reminded him, “To be safe, Mr. Ye, change your appearance again.”
Ye Chen nodded. He used a few silver needles and instantly transformed into a handsome man.
Luo Yao looked at Ye Chen with satisfaction. She did not want to waste any more time here and headed straight for the sealed door.
Among the dozen or so experts guarding the door, one of them was the guardian who had broken into her room yesterday!
When the guardian saw Luo Yao appear, his pupils shrank. He wanted to make a quick exit, but a cold voice rang out.
“Where are you going?”
The guardian’s body trembled. Then, he immediately turned around and smiled.
“Miss Luo, what a coincidence!”
“Hmph!” Luo Yao snorted coldly. “I don’t know if this is a coincidence or not, but it was quite the coincidence that you barged into my room last night.”
Hearing this, the guardian’s face turned pale. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still said, “Miss Luo, the Lord of Slaughter has apologized to you for what happened yesterday. You’re not here today to blame me, are you?”
Luo Yao shook her head.
“Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you anymore since I’ve accepted his apology gift.”
“However, I need to go out today. Open the door to this seal!”
When the guardian heard this, he immediately refused.
“Miss Luo, I’m sorry, but the Lord of Slaughter has decreed that no one is allowed to leave this place before we find Ye s.h.i.tian!”
Luo Yao took a step forward and took out a jade pendant. She said angrily, “This time, the Luo family asked me to go back as there’s something important to discuss. Can you take responsibility for the delay?”
Seeing that the guardian still did not have the intention to move aside, she said coldly, “Looking at you, it seems that the pain of losing an eye yesterday was not enough for you?”
This troubled the guardian.
He could not disobey the Lord of Slaughter’s orders, nor could he afford to offend the Luo family.
“Miss Luo, since that’s the case, I’ll go and ask Milord!”
He could only say this.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yao ordered, “Open it now! I might as well tell you that the Luo family is currently meeting an expert from a top-notch sect. He was injured in a great battle and is currently lacking an extremely rare medicinal herb. I am the only one who has this medicinal herb, which is why I’m sending it back. If I delay, that expert will die. Do you know the consequences of that?”
“At that time, you will have to bear the anger of thousands of experts from a top-notch sect in the Kunlun Mountains!”
“I wonder if your lord has the ability to fight that top-notch sect!”
Luo Yao pressed on step by step as if she had the initiative, while the guardian was already drenched in fear.
He did not know if it was real or fake, but he did not have the ability to verify it.
“The longer you hesitate, the slimmer that expert’s chance of survival will be,” Luo Yao urged.
The one-eyed guardian could not take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and took out a talisman. He formed a seal with his finger and forced out a drop of blood essence.
The talisman burned, and the door sealed behind him was opened.
“Since Miss Luo is in such a hurry, I’ll let you go first. I’ll report this to the Loes later.”
Luo Yao ignored him. At this moment, she seemed to be in control of everything. She glanced at Ye Chen and the people behind him and waved her arm.
“Let’s go! We have to make it to the Luo family before nightfall!”
Just as Ye Chen, Wen Shishi, and the others were about to leave, the one-eyed guardian took a deep look at Ye Chen. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from this person, especially that cold and arrogant gaze.
He suddenly said, “Brat, have we met before?”
Luo Yao’s expression changed. Before Ye Chen could speak, she stood in front of him and glared at the one-eyed guardian.
“It seems like yesterday’s lesson wasn’t enough?”
“You ruined our good thing yesterday, and now you have the nerve to say point it out in public? If any rumors spread to the family, you will bear the responsibility!”
It was only then did the one-eyed guardian realize that this handsome man was actually the person who was doing ‘that’ with Luo Yao last night.
It seemed that Miss Luo was planning to bring this person back to the family.
He was a little jealous. This handsome man’s cultivation level was not high, but because of his pretty face, he had become a phoenix.
Once he entered the Luo family, his ident.i.ty would change.
After thinking through everything, the one-eyed guardian hurriedly said, “Miss Luo, please calm down. I will definitely keep this matter a secret! I won’t make a sound!”
“Hmph!”
The group quickly left the Land of Slaughter.
Once they were outside, Ye Chen and Luo Yao parted ways.
“Miss Luo, I will remember today’s favor. When I’m done with this matter, I’ll naturally go to the Core Tower to look for you.”
Ye Chen then cupped his hands and said goodbye.
Luo Yao smiled flirtatiously.
“Mr. Ye, there’s no need to say goodbye. Maybe we’ll meet again in a few days. I’m still hoping to watch your invincible run in the compet.i.tion.”
“However, Mr. Ye, remember to leave this place as soon as possible. The Lord of Slaughter isn’t that easy to deal with. I reckon he’ll soon discover that I helped you!”
“Okay! Farewell!”
Ye Chen whistled, and three black tigers appeared in an instant.
The three black tigers laid down and allowed Ye Chen and the Wen sisters to climb atop them, as the trio quickly made their way to Duan Huai An’s cave.
