Chapter 2915 - 2916: The Overlord’s Identity

Chapter 2915: Chapter 2916: The Overlord’s Identity

Upon hearing Shadow’s words, Ye Luo was quite surprised.

Could it be that the seed of Zhongzhou civilization has already developed to such an extent?

No, Shadow had just mentioned that there were cultivators among them. If it were purely the seed of Zhongzhou Empire, there wouldn’t be any cultivators present.

Obviously, the seed of that civilization is hidden within the Dark Alliance.

If so, then there’s at least a chance for Ye Luo to infiltrate the Dark Alliance without any problems!

However, as Shadow suggested, it requires careful planning.

"In that case, I shall follow your instructions, senior!" Ye Luo said.

Shadow’s expression immediately became excited, "Instructions are unnecessary. With the Royal Teacher’s wisdom, you will lead the way. It is I who should follow your instructions. I’ll go contact those opposing forces, and once everything is done, I’ll report back to the Royal Teacher!"

With that, Shadow and Fengxi Wang left eagerly.

Ye Luo pondered for a moment. Since he wanted information on the transmission array, this seemed to be his choice.

Suddenly, he thought of something: the last time the Black Butterfly Legion came, they didn’t notice Luo Xue’s shadow!

Could it be that Luo Xue met misfortune? It’s very possible!

Originally, Luo Xue intended to defect and join Ye Luo, but now she’s missing, with a high probability of being discovered by the Assassin Alliance.

Given the style of the Assassin Alliance, Luo Xue may encounter misfortune!

For Ye Luo, Luo Xue was at least a friend, and in Ye Luo’s heart, the bond with Luo Xue was slightly stronger than that with Qin Se. Although Qin Se had relations with Ye Luo, their time together was brief, unlike Luo Xue, who shared many experiences with him.

Immediately, Ye Luo decided to delve into the Assassin Alliance to find Luo Xue’s whereabouts, and also to learn more about the Dark Alliance through the Assassin Alliance.

After all, no matter how Shadow describes it, it’s better to understand it himself.

In the end, Ye Luo couldn’t completely trust Shadow’s words.

Thinking of this, his figure shifted, exuding a murderous aura, transforming into the image of a middle-aged man, with his presence resembling an assassin, or rather, someone no different from those in the Assassin Alliance!

The next moment, he turned into a streak of light and vanished.

The Assassin Alliance’s location is at the border between the Demon Realm and the third power. The spiritual energy here is sparse, making it unsuitable for cultivators to reside, thus it is also considered an abandoned land by both the third force and the Demon Realm.

Of course, if the Assassin Alliance wished to occupy more fertile regions, it’s not impossible, but they remain entrenched here year-round, puzzling other forces significantly.

One point is clear: the cultivators of the Assassin Alliance mostly come from various forces, and many are already skilled individuals upon entering; thus, environmental requirements are not as important.

Ye Luo stood beneath a city, a level three base of the Assassin Alliance, which is the most barren type. The Assassin Alliance doesn’t pay much attention to such bases, leaving them to fend for themselves and take on simple tasks to survive.

"Who dares to trespass on the Assassin Alliance’s base!" an assassin suddenly jumped out and questioned Ye Luo.

"Get out of the way, can’t you see who I am?" Ye Luo coldly replied, immediately revealing his aura.

Naturally, he emitted the aura of a Martial King, though his actual realm was the Saint Realm, feeling he still needed time to accumulate and hone within this realm; otherwise, he would have reached the Heavenly Martial Realm long ago.

The assassin opposite was just a young man who had recently entered the Heavenly Martial Realm. Faced with Ye Luo’s aura, he knelt immediately.

"I’m dispatched by headquarters to take over this base. I heard your previous overlord was killed during a task. I’m here to assume the position of overlord!" Ye Luo said indifferently.

In fact, their overlord had died by Ye Luo’s hand just two days prior.

At the Assassin Alliance, given that experts from various forces gather here, management is quite loose, and personnel turnover is frequent, so many assassins are strangers to each other.

But for Ye Luo to intrude directly into the Assassin Alliance headquarters would be noticed by others. Hence, he thought of an indirect approach, first taking over as the base overlord, thus gaining identity within the Assassin Alliance, making future actions more convenient.

"It’s an honor to have the overlord arrive. Please forgive us!" The young assassin alliance member bowed.

Ye Luo then restrained his aura, nodded slightly, "Stand up. This is not your fault; it’s unrelated to you. Take me back to the base!"

Under the young man’s guidance, Ye Luo entered the base. Hearing of the new overlord’s arrival, nearly all assassins came to pay respects.

However, many eyes were scanning Ye Luo back and forth.

The Assassin Alliance differs from other forces; whoever is strongest becomes the leader—truly a place of survival of the fittest.

Ye Luo knew a display of strength was necessary for these guys to submit to him.

"Show me the assignments you’ve received!" Ye Luo commanded instantly.

Following that, a woman presented a ledger, which Ye Luo examined briefly. Most tasks were accumulated, but the rewards were substantial. Clearly, these tasks had certain difficulties, the lowest involving assassinating Martial King realm experts.

But for Ye Luo, they were nothing!

Ye Luo nodded slightly, "I’ll hold onto this ledger for now!"

These assassins didn’t understand his intentions, yet next, his figure disappeared!

This left the assassins dumbfounded, as the ledger itself wasn’t worth much. Where did the new overlord go? Had he reconsidered after seeing the tasks?

Four hours later, Ye Luo returned to the base, causing the assassins to be shocked into amazement.

In those four hours, Ye Luo completed ten tasks! All of them were difficult leftover tasks, at least involving Martial King level experts, with three being half-step Martial Emperor experts, all slain by Ye Luo!

"Check how much can be exchanged for resources and put it all into the base’s resource pool!" Ye Luo spoke casually.

Upon hearing this, the assassins were even more agitated. The resources from those ten tasks were enough to sustain the base for years.

Of course, what they feared most was Ye Luo’s abilities.

A killer capable of assassinating half-step Martial Emperor experts certainly wouldn’t be found at a level three base.

But Ye Luo claiming to take on the overlord’s role made sense.
