Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2293: Chapter 2294: Trading Strength for Qualification

The Elder let out a cry of surprise and immediately began to fight back!

However, it was too late, and Ye Luo’s terrifying slap had already descended.

Rumble!

With a loud roar, the Elder’s resistance had no effect at all, instantly encompassed by Ye Luo’s palm!

As the power of the Law dissipated, only some remnants of the cultivator remained!

This Elder, a well-known strong figure in the South Territory... was killed by Ye Luo’s slap?

This young man is defying the heavens!

Immediately, the other forces’ strong figures looked at Ye Luo with different eyes.

Their previously dismissive gazes turned serious.

Perhaps Ye Luo intentionally picked a weak opponent before; if it had been a different strong figure, it might not have turned out the same!

But this was enough to prove Ye Luo’s strength, perhaps there was a gap between him and the sect elders, but he could completely stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

At least he had the qualifications to discuss the situation in the South Territory with them!

And one more thing, Ye Luo’s age—how young was he? If those old monsters had Ye Luo’s talents, it wouldn’t be surprising, after all, they had been cultivating for hundreds of years!

But Ye Luo? Compared to those old folks, he was like fresh meat! And his current strength, completely surpassing those so-called young geniuses! This shows how terrifying his talent is!

”Since this is the case, tell us, young master, when will the essence you promised us be realized?” an Elder suddenly asked.

Once he spoke up, it immediately meant they recognized Ye Luo’s strength, believing he had the right to stand on equal footing with them!

At this moment, Zi Wei Fairy finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ye Luo with more admiration.

”Now is not the time to discuss the essence. The current situation is critical with the Dragon Clan, Myriad Beasts Sect, and the Returner Alliance occupying Sumeru City, bringing in forces from overseas and inland. Shouldn’t we be discussing how to respond?” Ye Luo retorted.

”Hmph, that’s not quite right. Don’t think we’re unaware of your identity; aren’t you Ye Luo? The Dragon Clan and other forces are all offering a bounty for you, so I see they’re targeting you. Aren’t we all just doing the work for you?” A sect representative said coldly.

Ye Luo snorted coldly, ”If that’s what you think, you can leave now! Let those races continue occupying Sumeru City, and let them slowly devour the South Territory! Since you understand my identity, you should know that I’m originally not a person of South Territory, even if South Territory was to fall, I could just walk away!”

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, the other strong figures frowned.

Ye Luo wasn’t wrong; he could leave whenever he wished, but others couldn’t! They had been surviving in the South Territory for countless years, and all their foundations were in the South Territory. To make them leave, it would take a life-or-death situation, and they wouldn’t easily take that step otherwise.

”Young Master Ye, let’s not beat around the bush. Since we’re here, we’re thinking of uniting. Tell us your thoughts!” another sect strong figure said.

Ye Luo wasn’t in a hurry, leisurely sipping a cup of Essence of the Spirit Pond, causing the strong figures below to squint in envy.

Drinking essence as tea, a luxury those ancestors couldn’t indulge in!

After all, just one cup of essence was enough for them to cultivate for more than a month.

”Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll express my thoughts briefly. I have a simple plan! It’s war!” Ye Luo said slowly.

War? These elders frowned.

”Young Master Ye, you speak easily. You should understand those inland forces better than us. Any one of them is equal to our combined forces. To fight, you should know the price we need to pay!” an Elder said.

They made their stance clear; they were there for the essence, and if they were to fight, Ye Luo needed to offer appropriate benefits!

No benefits, who would fight? After cultivating disciples for so many years, who would send them to battle?

”Those forces are indeed strong, but after all, this is the South Territory. There aren’t many cultivators in Sumeru City; they’re observing our attitude. If we ignore it, it shows the South Territory isn’t to be feared, and they will become even more reckless! So we must take back Sumeru City. Of course, if you think this is solely my issue, then do as you please!”

Afterward, the conference hall fell into silence, as everyone pondered the pros and cons.

”Young Master Ye, this war isn’t just for saying; the loss would deeply wound us!” an Elder finally spoke.

Ye Luo laughed upon hearing this, ”I’m aware; this time, I’ll personally cover all the battle losses and compensate you with the Essence of the Spirit Pond, but on one condition, you must follow my orders!”

This! The other strong figures hesitated again.

”Of course, there is another point; any sect participating in the battle will receive triple the compensation of essence!” Ye Luo continued.

These words had an immediate effect!

Triple the essence; that’s not a small number!

Of course, most of this essence wasn’t given to disciples; it’s mostly enjoyed by the sect’s ancestors, as letting those ancestors live longer is more effective than enhancing disciples’ strength.

This time, they came to negotiate with Ye Luo under the direction of the sect’s ancestors.

And don’t be fooled by their arrogance; it’s simply to gain the utmost benefit. In reality, the ancestors’ orders were to bring back the essence by all means!

Ye Luo understood this as well, hence his attitude swung between firm and soft, leaving them unable to grasp his true intentions.

And with that statement, Ye Luo knew the temptation for them had reached its peak.

”Alright, Young Master Ye, for the foundation of the South Territory, we agree!” an Elder immediately decided.

The other elders also nodded one by one.

The foundation of the South Territory? Ye Luo smirked inwardly; these old foxes were merely fulfilling their desires!

Nonetheless, Ye Luo was quite satisfied with this outcome. Initially, he planned to use even more Spirit Pool Essence.

After all, this battle was significantly related to him, Ye Luo.
