Chapter 2043: Chapter 2044: Dragon Burial Tower
At this critical moment, Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to anger her.
"Please sit, I happen to have some things to ask you!"
Liu Mei immediately became delighted and then sat beside Ye Luo.
A faint fragrance wafted into Ye Luo’s nose, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
After all, Liu Mei was incredibly beautiful, and Ye Luo was just a normal man. To say he wasn’t moved at all would be a lie!
"You... What do you want to ask me?" she asked shyly.
Ye Luo snapped back to reality, "You’ve been in the Kunwu Sect for years; you should know the masters from the other families, right?"
Liu Mei was slightly startled, showing a hint of disappointment on her face.
Is this really what he wants to ask?
However, she also understood, now that the competition was about to begin, her current emotions were rather girlish.
After pondering for a moment and gathering her thoughts, she slowly spoke.
"Among the five families, the Wan Family is naturally the strongest. The number of geniuses in the family is unknown, with Wan Hou being the most powerful. It’s said that three years ago, he had already reached the Seventh Rank of Earth Martial Realm, and now after a three-year retreat, no one knows how strong he is!"
Ye Luo listened carefully. He also knew that the Sect Master of Kunwu Sect came from the Wan Family, so the cultivation resources obtained by the Wan Family were naturally the richest. With masters all over, it was not surprising.
"As for Wang Lun of the Wang Family and Li Ba of the Li Family, although they are not as good as Wan Hou, they are still stronger than our Liu Family! As for the Chen Family, they don’t have many outstanding talents; even if they are stronger than our Liu Family, they aren’t much stronger!"
Ye Luo gained some understanding of these families. After all, this competition was more than just each family selecting a core disciple.
The five chosen candidates for Sect Master also needed to be ranked!
And the ranking not only affects the subsequent cultivation resources but also concerns the upcoming trials!
That’s right, it’s trials again!
Each family within the Kunwu Sect has a Tower of Trials! However, everyone in Kunwu Sect understands that these five Towers of Trials are essentially a single treasure!
Every time after the Sect Master candidates are chosen, these five Towers of Trials will be merged into one and then open to these five candidates!
It’s said that these five Towers of Trials belong to five attributes! The candidate ranked first has the privilege to choose the attribute tower first!
Ye Luo already discovered the Dragon Bone in the Liu Family’s Tower of Trials, so the other towers must be similar!
Therefore, he must obtain this first place!
The principle of knowing oneself and one’s enemy, Ye Luo understands very well. He does not underestimate the geniuses of Kunwu Sect; even if he possesses the Great Magical Power of the Dragon King, he doesn’t dare to claim he will definitely secure the first place!
Therefore, he carefully inquired about the characteristics of these masters.
...
In the Kunwu Sect’s council hall, the Family Head of the Liu Family was reporting to the Sect Master.
"Sect Master, the issue with the Tower of Trials is the Liu Family’s fault. The Liu Family is willing to take responsibility!" the Family Head said respectfully.
The Sect Master’s strength is unfathomable; even standing in front of him, the Family Head feels a sense of trepidation.
"Now is not the time to pin down whose fault it is. Besides, opening the Tower of Trials for disciples to train also complies with Kunwu Sect’s regulations; there’s no fault in that. However, with such an incident, the upcoming merging of the five towers might face some trouble!" the Sect Master said with a frown.
"According to our investigation, this is all the doing of that person. In this regard, we in the Liu Family are also at a loss!"
"Damn it! What are they trying to do? Do they intend to provoke a war with the Dragon Clan?" the Sect Master’s face turned somewhat ugly.
"Well then, I will handle this matter. Regarding this issue, the Liu Family is without fault!"
The Family Head was naturally pleased upon hearing this.
"Shadow, what do you think about this matter?" After the Family Head left, the Sect Master suddenly asked towards the rear.
At this time, a vague shadow appeared in front of him. The appearance of this person was completely indistinguishable; it couldn’t even be considered human because there was no physical form, more like a spiritual body.
"Perhaps the death of the Dragon Emperor gave them considerable confidence, thus prompting them to target the Burial Dragon Tower!" a raspy voice drifted over, as if from hell, making the hall much colder.
"Do they really intend to wage war against the Dragon Clan? Damned! This time, they can’t expect our Kunwu Sect to act as the vanguard!" the Sect Master said bitterly.
"Ah, human nature!" Shadow sighed, then vanished into the darkness.
At this time, Ye Luo was quite vexed.
Liu Mei had finished introducing the situation, yet she showed no intention of leaving, instead casually chatting with Ye Luo. Ye Luo replied intermittently.
Soon, Liu Mei pouted; this was the first time Ye Luo saw her in such a girlish demeanor.
Ye Luo was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.
"Wan Kun of the Wan Family comes to visit the Liu Family’s genius!" A hearty voice emerged from outside.
Upon hearing this voice, Liu Mei’s face immediately turned pale.
"Do you know him?" Ye Luo curiously looked at Liu Mei; her expression was too abnormal.
"This guy’s father is the Grand Elder of Kunwu Sect, his status is extraordinary, and most importantly!" Liu Mei bit her lip, not finishing her sentence.
"He’s pestering you?" Ye Luo asked with a frown.
Liu Mei helplessly nodded.
Suddenly, Ye Luo understood, it probably wasn’t as simple as just pestering!
Indeed, this Wan Kun was rather arrogant, directly searching within this small courtyard.
"Mei’er, I know you’ve arrived, why not come out to meet!" he directly shouted.
"Damn it, why is he calling my name directly!" Liu Mei said angrily.
"Ah, isn’t this Young Master Wan? It’s a shame we failed to welcome you!" Liu Cheng’s voice sounded.
"You must be Liu Cheng; quickly tell me, is Mei’er here?"
Upon hearing, Liu Cheng immediately sneered, "Young Master Wan, even if you hadn’t come, I was planning to report this matter to you!"
Afterward, he leaned close to Wan Kun’s ear, whispering privately.
"What? There’s such a thing? I want to see who dares to challenge me, Wan Kun, for a woman!" he shouted immediately.
The Wan Family is the most powerful of the five families, while the Liu Family is the weakest. Precisely because of this, Wan Kun dared to run amok without restraint.
Boom!
With a loud boom, the door was kicked open, and a figure walked arrogantly into Ye Luo’s room.
