Chapter 2914 - 2915: Dark Alliance

Chapter 2914: Chapter 2915: Dark Alliance

This time, most of the officials were selected from the military.

Most of these people are in their twilight years, decorated war veterans nearing retirement, so Qin Se simply appointed some of the more ambitious ones to official positions.

But in reality, these official positions are only valid within the Royal City; once outside, who would care about any officials, not even in the Royal Capital.

Therefore, what Qin Se is actually doing is turning the Royal City into an independent nation.

Of course, now that the armies of the King of Huainan are in Qin Se’s hands, building a small country is not a problem. But if she thinks of turning the third faction into a nation, that’s practically a fantasy.

In these few days, Ye Luo’s days have been leisurely.

He spends all day with Qiong Yao and Yu’er. Ever since that time when Ye Luo forcibly entwined with Qin Se, she has never summoned him again, which has led him to consider leaving the Royal City.

Now, with the King of Huainan missing or dead, he too needs to find a Transmission Array to return to the Martial Realm as soon as possible. After all, that is where he needs to develop his power.

And on this day, a rare guest came to the Royal Teacher’s Mansion!

The Prince of Pingxi! He actually came to visit Ye Luo. Nowadays, the reconstruction matters of the Royal City are all handled by him, so if anyone in the Royal City is the busiest, it’s naturally the Prince of Pingxi.

"Prince Pingxi is busy all day, how come you suddenly have time today?" Ye Luo said with a smile.

The Prince of Pingxi nodded slightly, "Indeed very busy, but today there’s an important matter!"

"Oh? Is there something in the Royal City that the Prince can’t handle?" Ye Luo said with a smile.

Now that he is conferred as the Prince of Pingxi, he is naturally a prince.

"Royal Teacher, you’re joking. I’m no prince, and this time I’ve come to bring an old friend!" said the Prince of Pingxi.

"Oh?" Ye Luo became curious.

Then, a figure entered the hall, and it was Shadow!

Of course, now he is dressed like a soldier. If not for Ye Luo’s enhanced eyesight, he might not have easily noticed him.

"Greetings, Royal Teacher!" Shadow said with a cupped fist towards Ye Luo.

"Senior, what brings you here?"

Ye Luo looked at him with a frown; his aura had weakened significantly. Originally, his cultivation was unfathomable, being the leader of the Shadow Guards, but now he was evidently seriously injured.

"Royal Teacher, I will speak frankly in front of you. The reason I am so gravely injured is because I was seeking the whereabouts of the King of Huainan!"

"The King of Huainan?" Ye Luo furrowed his brows.

"Exactly, he was indeed taken by the people of the Dark Alliance. I am here today to ask the Royal Teacher to help solve the King of Huainan!" Shadow said solemnly.

Dark Alliance? Ye Luo had never heard of it. Could it be different from the Assassin Alliance?

"Royal Teacher, the Dark Alliance is a taboo in the Demon Realm. Many people are unwilling to mention it, so gradually it faded from people’s sight. However, everyone knows about the Demon Realm and the third faction; then who is the force between the Demon Realm and the third faction? Everyone thinks it’s the Assassin Alliance, but actually, it’s the Dark Alliance!" Shadow said lightly.

In fact, Ye Luo had heard rumors of another force before, and Shadow’s words seemed the most genuine.

Ye Luo suddenly realized that the Dark Alliance might be another seed of the Zhongzhou civilization.

So, it was no mystery why the King of Huainan was able to suppress the virus of those 250,000 elite soldiers last time.

However, with the Assassin Alliance involved, it’s clearly also the idea of the Dark Alliance, indicating that on one hand, they agreed with the King of Huainan, but on the other hand, they sent people to deal with the Prosperous Age Army, showing extreme cunning.

And as for the King of Huainan, Ye Luo could only describe him as a hero. Initially, he didn’t plan to rescue the King of Huainan; first, since even the King of Huainan failed to escape, he might not survive if he went there. Secondly, the King of Huainan had imposed restrictions on him, and if rescued, based on the King of Huainan’s nature, he might not spare him.

Shadow sighed, "Royal Teacher, the Prince has long known your thoughts, which is why he asked me to deliver this to you!"

With that, he handed a small wooden box to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo opened it, surprised to find a mass of mana inside, specifically a spell to lift the restrictions in his body! It was a method left by the King of Huainan to break the restrictions within Ye Luo.

Without hesitation, Ye Luo absorbed the mana into his body, and instantly, the restrictions left by the King of Huainan vanished completely!

It actually unraveled, leaving Ye Luo greatly surprised. Given Ye Luo’s displayed abilities, the King of Huainan had no reason not to control him. Furthermore, even if the King of Huainan perished, he might not have willingly lifted the restrictions, as without constraints, Ye Luo might seize the third faction without difficulty.

"The Royal Teacher’s interaction with the Prince was too brief. The world believes the Prince to be ruthless, achieving his goals by any means necessary, but how many can protect the third faction for hundreds of years like him? With his potential, he could have left this realm long ago to seek a more favorable cultivation environment, and how many would choose to sacrifice themselves to save the mere 250,000 soldiers, only to be captured by the Dark Alliance?" Shadow said.

Evidently, even Shadow had difficulty understanding why the King of Huainan acted this way.

Ye Luo sighed. In other worlds, the actions of the King of Huainan might not be significant, but in the Demon Realm, it was unconventional. Yet, regarding this matter, Ye Luo definitely admired the King of Huainan.

"And one more thing, Royal Teacher has been seeking the Transmission Array, and the Dark Alliance very likely has what you need!" Shadow suddenly said.

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment and then realized, strictly speaking, the Transmission Array has a significant technological component, possibly created by the seeds of the Zhongzhou civilization, suggesting the Dark Alliance might indeed possess a Transmission Array!

With this in mind, Ye Luo realized he might have to visit the Dark Alliance.

"Senior speaks rightly, but as a junior, even someone as powerful as the King of Huainan couldn’t escape the Dark Alliance. How could I possibly rescue the King of Huainan on my own strength?" Ye Luo frowned.

Another thing Ye Luo didn’t mention is that the Dark Alliance already took note of him because of the virus incident last time. If he went like this, it would be like walking into a trap.

"I’m aware of that!" Shadow said solemnly, "But Royal Teacher might not be aware that the Dark Alliance is a force comparable to the third faction and the Demon Realm, essentially a small independent world. The number of cultivators and the scale of mountains and rivers there are no less than the third faction. Moreover, although the Dark Alliance is mysterious and formidable, it might not be without opposing forces. In order to rescue the Prince, a long-term plan is necessary!"
