Chapter 2921: Chapter 2922: Entrustment

There is something more important, Ye Luo has no idea what purpose he is being brought here for.

"You don’t need to be so cautious. I called you here just to have a chat. You, young man, are quite interesting. I’ve been watching you for a long time. There are not many young people now who can have a conversation with me!"

As he spoke, there was a hint of melancholy in his words.

Ye Luo understood. He must be far older than the King of Huainan, a complete old monster.

"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I’ve just been acting a bit high-profile!" Ye Luo quickly replied.

But the King of Assassins shook his head, "You will certainly become a great figure in the future, so why rush some things?"

Rushing? Ye Luo raised his head to look at him, his eyes extremely bright, like the stars in the sky, vast and mysterious.

What exactly was he referring to? Could it be the matter of the Transmission Array?

Indeed, even though Ye Luo is in the Demon Realm, one day he will cultivate to the Martial Emperor Realm. Once he reaches this realm, even the old assassin in front of him won’t be able to do anything to him! Then, who else in the entire Demon Realm could threaten him?

Moreover, once at that realm, which world couldn’t he go to!

Even the Saint Realm is ultimately an Earth Martial Realm. Ordinary Martial Emperor experts he could kill, but Martial Emperor experts also vary in strength.

Like the King of Huainan’s realm and the King of Assassins’ realm, they are both Martial Emperor Realm, but if they want to kill Ye Luo now, he has a high chance of falling.

The root cause is still his realm being too low.

Moreover, he has been cultivating according to the realm of ancient times, making each realm upgrade much more difficult than for ordinary cultivators.

"Your Majesty is not without reason, but everyone has their own path, and it must be taken. If you stop, even if the crisis is lessened, you may miss some opportunities meant for you!" Ye Luo suddenly said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

After a long while, he finally got up unsteadily.

"Ye Luo, if I had known you earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t be in this world now!" he sighed, his words filled with endless regret.

Ye Luo knew that such a strong person, if he wanted to break through further, would need to go to other worlds. However, now his lifespan was running out, and he no longer had the courage.

"Well, you have your path to walk, so I won’t persuade you further! Now, let me talk to you as a father!" he suddenly said, his face returning to a calm demeanor.

A father’s role? Ye Luo looked at him with some confusion, naturally referring to Luo Xue.

Yet Luo Xue and he were completely innocent, even if sometimes they were a bit ambiguous, nothing had ever happened between them.

"Your Majesty’s words are perplexing to me!" Ye Luo immediately said.

"I know Luo Xue has feelings for you!" The old man, still unable to change his assassin nature, spoke of such matters so directly.

Just as Ye Luo was about to speak, the old man stopped him.

"Listen to me first, I know there is nothing between you two! But you should be able to feel Luo Xue’s affection. Now that the Demon Realm is on the verge of turmoil, even I can’t say for certain I’ll survive this wave, so I can only entrust Luo Xue to you!"

Ye Luo immediately smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty truly thinks highly of me. If even with your cultivation, there is no certainty, how can I as a junior survive?"

But the old man shook his head, "Life or death has nothing to do with strength, it’s entirely a matter of luck. Young people’s luck is just more abundant, and someone with your kind of luck is a monster, one I’ve never seen before!"

Ye Luo was speechless at once, finding those words rather irritating.

"This!"

Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t easily promise. If he made a promise and then went back on it, he would surely face the wrath of the King of Assassins. That would not be a joke.

"Rest assured, I won’t force you. I am an assassin, placing utmost importance on benefits. Don’t you want to leave the Demon Realm? I know something about the Transmission Array, and I also know some things about the Demon Emperor clan! As long as you agree, I can tell you everything! Also, since your fate is linked with my daughter’s, your chances of survival will also be much higher!"

Ye Luo fell silent immediately. His words were very tempting to Ye Luo, and he also had a special feeling for Luo Xue.

"Alright, I agree, respected elder!" Ye Luo said through gritted teeth.

He was not someone who liked to procrastinate, and taking a step back, if this time Luo Xue had no connection with the King of Assassins and she encountered danger, would Ye Luo save her or not? Without a doubt, he would certainly save her!

Thus, choosing to take Luo Xue with him this time wasn’t a difficult decision.

"Alright, follow me!"

At this moment, the old man straightened his back, seeming much younger, and led him into a private space.

Ye Luo could sense that this space shielded from Divine Sense and Mana detection, making it quite concealed.

About this, he was not too surprised. These old monsters, each had multiple hideouts, and the possibility that the one before him was the King of Assassins’ incarnation was not out of the question.

"Next, I will tell you about the matters you’re eager to know!" The old man sensed the surroundings before slowly beginning to speak.

Ye Luo immediately perked up. In the Demon Realm, he was truly a significant figure and had lived for a long time. He likely knew many secrets unknown to the King of Huainan. To call him a living fossil of the Demon Realm would not be an exaggeration.

"Let’s start with the Demon Emperor clan. Back in the day, the Demon Emperor clan was astonishingly brilliant, suppressing other races until they could hardly breathe. At that time, the third power was quite weak, even to the point of being enslaved by the Demon Emperor clan!"

The old man’s eyes were profoundly deep, these memories spanning who knows how many years. Ye Luo listened quietly beside him, entranced by the tales of the Demon Emperor clan!

Hearing about the eventual forced concealment of the Demon Emperor clan, the division of the Demon Race’s power by the Demon God’s Hall, and the third power’s strong rise, Ye Luo couldn’t help but have his own reflections.

Among this, there was another layer of secret. The King of Assassins was a descendant of both the Demon Race and the Human Race, which was also the reason he left Luo Xue in the Demon God’s Hall back then!

It seems his relationship with the Demon God’s Hall wasn’t entirely adversarial, quite different from Nameless’s situation.

If that’s the case, then it’s not that the Eastern Demon God Temple harbored any conspiracy but rather a chance coincidence that took in Nameless and Luo Xue.
