Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2770: Chapter 2771: Ambitious Schemes

And in fact, wasn’t the Grand Elder frustrated? He felt extremely frustrated inside!

His cultivation level, if placed in other sects, let alone in small sects, even in medium ones, he would be considered an ancestral-level power!

But now this young junior was talking eloquently in front of him, which made him quite uncomfortable.

”Grand Elder, you also see the current situation. Since the Dihuang Sect chooses not to remain secluded, naturally they have to face the onslaught of the King of Huainan. If you believe the King of Huainan will ignore the Dihuang Sect, or that the Dihuang Sect will remain secluded, then that’s another matter!” Ye Luo said calmly.

The Grand Elder sighed, knowing that Ye Luo repeatedly emphasized the point about the King of Huainan to gain greater initiative for himself. This young man was indeed extraordinary.

”Sect Leader Ye, whatever you wish to say, just say it. The situation is pressing, so there’s no need to beat around the bush!” said the Grand Elder.

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo laughed heartily, ”I like straightforward people the most. In that case, I’ll speak directly: If the Dihuang Sect wishes to cooperate with us, then join our Allied Forces. Our Allied Forces will naturally provide protection to the Dihuang Sect!”

”Pah!”

”Does our Dihuang Sect need protection from your ragtag army? You should first take care of yourselves!”

”These ragtag soldiers of yours, we don’t even take them seriously. We, the Dihuang Sect, could send out a thousand disciples to completely annihilate these seven thousand cultivators!”

The elders at the back couldn’t contain themselves any longer and roared angrily one after another.

No one else could have infuriated these old guys this much except Ye Luo. On any usual day, they would have struck at the slightest disrespect.

Is this even called negotiation? What kind of negotiation is this? The Dihuang Sect is completely at a disadvantage! Resources have been sent to Ye Luo, and now the Dihuang Sect is supposed to send people? And what does the Dihuang Sect get in return? Protection? Clearly, that’s not what they want.

”You see, Grand Elder, your sect members are so agitated. How can we continue the talks like this?” Ye Luo spread his hands, saying helplessly.

The Grand Elder composed himself, thinking there’s truly no way to negotiate like this!

”Sect Leader Ye, since we intend to talk, we will naturally contribute efforts against the King of Huainan. However, our disciples are different. Combining them with the Allied Forces could cause confusion among the troops. I think we should find another way to cooperate!” proposed the Grand Elder.

Find another way? Ye Luo’s interest was piqued.

”Then let the Grand Elder speak!”

The Grand Elder lightly coughed a few times and then said, ”The King of Huainan’s reason for coming to wage war here likely involves the previous incident where his son died in this place. As for other interests, we can only speculate. However, I believe the King of Huainan’s campaign must have a focus!”

Saying this, he looked meaningfully at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was startled immediately. Could it be that the Dihuang Sect had already grasped some clues? But so what? Ye Luo certainly wouldn’t admit it. After all, the person was dead. If the King of Huainan knew who killed his son, he would’ve already attacked directly, rather than waging war on a pretext.

This would mean that everything was just speculation!

”The Grand Elder is right. In my opinion, the one in this region most likely to have killed the King of Huainan’s son would be your Dihuang Sect. Anyway, you’re not afraid of the King of Huainan’s crusade. At worst, you’d just hide, and you even have the capability to quietly eliminate the young master!” Ye Luo suddenly remarked.

With this statement, the complexions of the ten elders, including the Grand Elder, changed immediately.

If this rumor spread, the Dihuang Sect could truly face extermination.

No one could clearly articulate the power of the King of Huainan, but there was one thing: the King of Huainan had once extinguished a Demon Race Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse!

Just based on this, the King of Huainan could completely annihilate the Dihuang Sect!

Moreover, even if the Dihuang Sect had a few clues, would the King of Huainan believe them? He would probably believe even more that it was the Dihuang Sect that did it!

Thus, the Dihuang Sect wasn’t just added to the King of Huainan’s blacklist this time; it likely ranked high on that list.

”Sect Leader Ye, one shouldn’t speak such baseless things. If it spreads, it will be disastrous!” the Grand Elder said sternly, his tone already a bit cold, clearly angered.

”Ha ha, I was just saying. Why should the Grand Elder be angry? Moreover, if I could think this, others might as well. More importantly, if the King of Huainan thinks this way, what will be the consequences?” Ye Luo laughed.

Bam!

The Grand Elder heavily slapped the ground, using the force to stand up.

”Sect Leader Ye, I think we should talk about cooperation. We should avoid discussing such baseless matters!”

The Grand Elder felt both angry and helpless.

Initially, he meant to frighten Ye Luo with this issue, but unexpectedly, he was cornered by him instead.

”The Grand Elder is right! But the Grand Elder still hasn’t mentioned what that alternative cooperation could be!” Ye Luo smiled broadly, his face an entirely provocative expression.

”To deal with this crisis, our Dihuang Sect has assembled a self-defense force of about two thousand people. However, these two thousand people are solely for protecting our Dihuang Sect. This is a prerequisite for our cooperation! The ancestor’s intention is for these two thousand people to be temporarily under Sect Leader Ye’s command, but they cannot be used to protect other forces. They can only be used for offensive actions!”

The Grand Elder finally directly stated the ancestor’s plan; he had no interest at this point in arguing with Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment. The Dihuang Sect’s two thousand cultivators were indeed formidable! The earlier elder’s words might have been exaggerated, but this two-thousand-man combat force was enough to contend with Ye Luo’s seven thousand cultivators!

With these two thousand people, even if the King of Huainan came to crusade, the Dihuang Sect could protect itself, couldn’t it? Then why give them to Ye Luo to command?

Wait! The Grand Elder just said these two thousand were not for defense, but for offense! Ye Luo’s heart trembled at once; it seemed the Dihuang Sect had grand ambitions! So, should he involve himself in this chaotic situation?

”What? Could it be that Sect Leader Ye is unwilling, or do you feel you can’t manage those two thousand people?” the Grand Elder frowned and asked.

He hadn’t guessed Ye Luo’s true thoughts at all! Or rather, he didn’t know why Ye Luo had come to this third power!

Ye Luo wasn’t here to play king of the mountain or to establish a sect! All he wanted was to complete his mission, simply to find the whereabouts of the devil queen’s nest! As for everything else, it had nothing to do with him.
