Chapter 2601: Chapter 2602: Base Upheaval
Even though these two ancestors had previously framed Ye Luo, they had saved Qiong Yao after all, so Ye Luo would not act against them just for that reason.
Besides, in Ye Luo’s eyes, these two ancestors were insignificant.
"Since you saved Qiong Yao, I naturally have to give you some benefits. I’m a straightforward person; what do you want me to do for you?" Ye Luo said calmly.
His words sounded somewhat arrogant, even rather dismissive, but the two ancestors did not feel any offense!
After all, in this Space-Time Channel, everything is based on strength!
"Young Master Ye truly is a person of true character. In that case, we two old guys will put aside our pride and ask Young Master Ye for a favor!" one of the ancestors laughed and said.
Ye Luo nodded slightly, without speaking.
"Young Master Ye, you also know, our Moonwater Tribe is practically extinct now. The tribe is the foundation of our existence; without the tribe, sooner or later, we’ll become like stray dogs!" the ancestor said solemnly.
Ye Luo snorted coldly, "If you knew this would happen, then why do it in the first place? Those tens of thousands of tribe members carry your bloodline after all, yet you watched as they perished!" Ye Luo frowned and said.
Upon hearing this, the two ancestors’ faces showed signs of embarrassment.
"Young Master Ye, perhaps you also know, the three of us were once a single entity. We two conspired to swallow an incarnation, which left only us. The world thinks we are ungrateful, but few know that what was consumed was the evil thought of the main body; all this was done by that incarnation!" one of the ancestors explained.
Ye Luo merely squinted at them. Back then, he clearly remembered that the swallowed incarnation didn’t show any signs of evil thoughts. However, some things cannot be judged solely by appearances.
Besides, whether these ancestors’ words are true doesn’t concern Ye Luo; he’s just returning a favor to them.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Ye Luo asked.
"Honestly, most of those tens of thousands of tribe members have been saved by me. It’s just that they can’t show themselves as part of the Moonwater Tribe. After all, there are still many who hunt us, including some skilled individuals. We might escape, but those tribe members would suffer unjustly!" the ancestor said bitterly.
"Are you asking me to protect those tribe members?" Ye Luo frowned and asked.
Not to mention the Moonwater Tribe, Ye Luo wouldn’t even protect the tribe members on Qingxiu Peak!
It’s not that he’s cold-hearted, but he has more important things to attend to and no time for these worldly matters.
"Of course not, we know Young Master’s time is precious. If it were ordinary forces, we could handle them ourselves; it’s just those large tribes that worry us. We hope Young Master can support us a bit!" the ancestor probed.
His words aimed to let the outside world know that the Moonwater Tribe has Ye Luo’s backing!
A tribe with a Martial King Realm cultivator is more intimidating than a totem.
Yet the ancestors’ request is somewhat excessive, as it essentially ties Ye Luo to the Moonwater Tribe.
After all, the Moonwater Tribe has many adversaries, and if Ye Luo supports them, the figures in power might target Ye Luo.
However, Ye Luo’s current strength is formidable, so he doesn’t care about these!
Even if someone comes after him, he’d just eliminate them.
"Young Master Ye, do you really agree?" the ancestor asked in disbelief.
"Yes, if you face enemies you can’t defeat, just signal Qingxiu Peak, and I’ll naturally come to support. But my time is limited, so I won’t often intervene; this you must understand!" Ye Luo said faintly.
"Of course, don’t worry, Young Master Ye!" the ancestor quickly replied with a smile.
Then Ye Luo, taking Qiong Yao Fairy, headed directly to Qingxiu Peak.
At this moment, Qingxiu Peak had completely changed, becoming more prosperous than before. In the Martial Arena, disciples were sincerely praying. On the surface, Qingxiu Peak seemed comparable to those large tribes.
But the high-ranking members of Qingxiu Peak knew this was just superficial; these cultivators were assembled temporarily and were unlikely to be loyal to Qingxiu Peak. It requires a long-term effort.
Moreover, Qingxiu Peak still needed experts for support.
Currently, with Ye Luo as a Martial King-level expert, it’s naturally enough. However, if Ye Luo left, Qingxiu Peak would become a prized cake, with countless forces waiting to plunder it.
He also understood Princess Xiu’s intention; she wanted to gather a large amount of Power of Faith for emergencies!
Yet, Ye Luo didn’t quite agree with this approach. These powers are external, not one’s own; once used, they are hard to restore. Against experts, they might resist a bit, but couldn’t change Qingxiu Peak’s fate.
"Ye Luo, you’re back; Qiong Yao Sister, is it really you? Great, you’re alive!" Princess Xiu immediately greeted.
Soon after, Ice Princess joined in.
"Princess Xiu, Bing’er Sister!" Qiong Yao said with a gentle smile.
Their previous bond wasn’t shallow, and now reunited, they were naturally quite joyful.
The three ignored Ye Luo and headed straight to the main hall, chattering away.
Apart from strength, they weren’t much different from ordinary women.
Ye Luo returned to his Cave Mansion and immediately sealed the surrounding space.
Now his Divine Sense had fully recovered, and the power of his Divine Consciousness Gold Body was even more immense.
Immediately, his Golden Body arrived in his Divine Kingdom.
However, the moment his form appeared, he frowned.
The Divine Kingdom seemed a bit off!
The base had expanded to a huge size, and many strange structures had been cultivated, occupying almost half of the Divine Kingdom.
As for the villagers, they were being kept in captivity!
Indeed, they were kept in captivity, specifically overseen by robots, and these villagers were planting a special crop!
This crop grew lush like trees, producing bizarre fruits emitting a tempting fragrance.
Ye Luo couldn’t determine what purpose these crops served, but his expression turned grim.
It seemed this base truly treated the Divine Kingdom as its own territory, beginning expansion fully.
Despite this, Ye Luo wasn’t too angry, as his previous situation was akin to death, and he had lost contact with the Divine Kingdom for a time. The base occupying it was only natural.
