Chapter 311: Chapter 331 Ye Luo Goes Home
A top Xuan Yue City.
Ye Luo gazed down at the city below, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Back when he left this city.
He had been a worthless nobody everyone looked down upon.
But now, he had transformed and became the Saint Lord of East State, reigning above East State itself.
One could even say that he held sway over the entire East State.
In East State, which cultivator, upon seeing him, wouldn’t bow and salute?
All these changes only made him reflect on the unpredictability of life.
However, no matter what, it was his Respected Master who was key to his rise.
Without his Respected Master’s guidance, there wouldn’t be the him of today.
As Ye Luo thought about this, he shook his head; right now, he was not within the Sect and could only silently harbor his increasing gratitude for his Respected Master.
“Alright, I wish to make a trip to Xuan Yue City, without any fanfare or revealing my identity too much. You all may leave first.”@@novelbin@@
Ye Luo turned his head and spoke to the hundred-plus cultivators behind him, his tone neither cold nor warm.
The hundred-plus cultivators from the big Sect heard this and began to feel anxious.
“No, no, Sect Master Ye, that won’t do! The city below is economically underdeveloped, with very few cultivators to speak of. They don’t know you are the Saint Lord of the Holy Land. What if you’re offended? How can we rest easy?”
“Indeed! Sect Master Ye, you have a noble stature. What if those lowly mortals down there offend you? That would be our dereliction of duty!”
“Please allow us to accompany you, Sect Master Ye, and return with you together!”
The hundred-plus cultivators all spoke out.
They were genuinely concerned about Ye Luo being offended by those below.
If Ye Luo chose to vent his anger only on Xuan Yue City, that would be one thing, but if he took it out on them…
Considering that, the hundred-plus cultivators were quite frightened.
If he indeed took it out on them.
Ye Luo wouldn’t even need to take action himself; just showing a hint of displeasure would result in countless forces in East State trying to curry favor with Ye Luo and wiping them out directly.
Sect Master Ye at the front glanced back at the crowd and couldn’t help shaking his head.
“I said I don’t want to reveal my identity.”
“There’s no need for you to worry, my purpose is only to meet some people and not to reveal the identity of the Holy Land Master, hmm… Which rank is your Sect?”
Ye Luo suddenly asked, saying so.
“Ah? Sect Master Ye, we are a Third-Rank Sect, which indeed qualifies as a large Sect.”
One of the leading cultivators amongst the hundred-plus stood out and replied with a cupped fist.
“Third-Rank? Good, I don’t want to reveal my identity this time and wish to use a lower-status identity to return; I’ll use your Third-Rank Sect’s, it should be low enough.”
Ye Luo nodded, his face expressionless as he spoke.
Upon these words.
The hundred-plus cultivators were petrified en masse.
Wanting to use a lower-status identity.
So, using their Third-Rank Sect?
Third-Rank is low??
Low??
Is that considered low?
The hundred-plus cultivators all fell into deep self-doubt.
A Third-Rank Sect could proudly call itself a large Sect.
In East State, it was considered a major power.
If their Third-Rank Sect were to recruit disciples, those who wished to join would line up from East State all the way to Yun State.
How did it suddenly become a synonym for low?
These people all wanted to protest something.
But upon seeing that it was Ye Luo who said this, they all came to terms with it.
Oh, oh, oh.
It was the Saint Lord of the Holy Land who said so, then it’s no issue.
Compared to the master of the Holy Land, indeed, it was exceedingly lowly.
Over a hundred cultivators all swallowed back the complaints they wanted to voice.
Among them, the leader respectfully handed a token to Ye Luo.
“Sect Master Ye, this is our Xuan Xian Sect’s token. With this token, it will be convenient for Sect Master Ye… um, convenient for you to experience life,” he said with a strained laugh.
The leader had intended to say it would be convenient, but after some thought, if one truly sought convenience, then using the identity of the master of the Holy Land would surely be more convenient.
Thus, he could only change his words to experiencing life.
To think their Third-Rank Sect, once so glorious, had now fallen to something others used to experience life with.
The more the leader thought about it, the bitterer he felt inside.
“Hmm, then I shall take my leave now. The rest of you may disperse as well,” Ye Luo said, unaffected as he took the token, nodded, and then turned to leave.
“We respectfully see off Sect Master Ye!!”
The hundreds of cultivators hastily saluted, waiting quietly for Ye Luo to depart.
Ye Luo didn’t reply, flying off toward the city below.
The cultivators watched Ye Luo disappear into the city below and were about to leave.
But suddenly, one person spoke up.
“No! It doesn’t feel quite right for us to leave just like this. If we stay here and keep watch, should there be some insolent fool who offends Sect Master Ye, we can intervene in time. If we’re not around and something big happens, we wouldn’t know,” he said.
Upon hearing these words, everyone else felt they made sense.
“Indeed, what you say is right, we really shouldn’t just leave like this.”
“Makes sense. Elder Yu, what do you think?”
“I also think it makes sense.”
“Yes, I agree. This matter could be trivial or significant. If no one offends Sect Master Ye, naturally, all is well. But if someone truly dares to cause offense, then the matter would be serious,” they all concurred, feeling that it was better to stay behind.
“This… is acceptable.”
The leader ‘Elder Yu’ pondered for a moment and then nodded, allowing these cultivators to stay, guarding in all directions while keeping an eye on Ye Luo, to prevent any accidents.
…
Below, at the entrance to Xuan Yue City.
Ye Luo did not enter directly, but like a mortal, he queued and walked in.
He looked at the familiar city gate and couldn’t help but smile.
Last time he passed here,
it was his Respected Master who had accompanied him.
This time he returned by himself.
But he was no longer the good-for-nothing he once was!
A gleam passed through Ye Luo’s eyes as he strode into the city.
The two ordinary soldiers guarding the city gate were about to stop Ye Luo,
but seeing Ye Luo’s extraordinary aura, they dare not demand the city entry fee and could only watch longingly as he entered.
The ordinary soldiers didn’t stop him,
and naturally, Ye Luo had no intention of voluntarily paying any city entry fee.
He walked into the city, looking at the bustling streets filled with people, shook his head slightly, and pressed forward.
Although Xuan Yue City was rather backward, it was still lively, and the streets were a bit crowded.
But even with the crowded streets, it did not affect Ye Luo.
With his strong presence, ordinary people steered clear of him, not daring to obstruct his path.
Ye Luo made his way smoothly to the front of his family estate.
Speaking of which, Ye Luo’s family was considered one of the top families in Xuan Yue City.
But this ‘top’ was only in reference to Xuan Yue City.
If compared to the outside world, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Yet it was this very family that had nurtured an outstanding figure like Ye Luo…
