Chapter 2653: Chapter 2654: The Great Crown Prince’s Promise
The Great Crown Prince is truly riding high on favorable winds now! As soon as his mana manifested, he burst into loud laughter.
"Haha, it seems you all were quite anxious this time, managing to exit the maze ahead of me. My talent is dull, and I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you all!"
The faces of the rival princes darkened upon hearing this, as his words were undoubtedly a jab at their failed attempt to scheme against him.
"Hmph, a gambler must accept loss, it was merely good luck!"
The rival princes were straightforward, throwing the Qiankun Rings out and then leading their men away.
After all, they were defeated, and remaining would only add to their humiliation. Even if the Great Crown Prince failed, they would adopt the same attitude.
Eager to leave, these people did not trouble Ye Luo and Ling’er.
Ye Luo seemed unfazed, while Ling’er widened her eyes, entirely unaware of what had transpired.
"You two, come with me!" commanded the Great Crown Prince to Ye Luo and Ling’er.
The other subordinates, hearing the command, immediately released the two from their encirclement.
"Boy, you’ve helped me greatly this time. If there’s anything you desire, just speak up!" said the Great Crown Prince directly.
Though the Demon Race is eccentric by nature, they value promises highly.
"If that’s the case, I do have a request!" Ye Luo replied with a smile.
The Great Crown Prince smiled without speaking, evidently waiting for Ye Luo to continue.
"I have a friend who fell into the hands of a third force. I hope the Great Crown Prince can help bring her out!" Ye Luo stated bluntly.
He naturally referred to Qiong Yao, who hadn’t followed Ye Luo into the cave and remained in the Infinity Sect. However, the sect’s current situation was unclear, so Ye Luo was somewhat worried.
Nevertheless, with Qiong Yao’s notable body refinement prowess and the fact she wasn’t injured, as long as no Martial King realm cultivators targeted her, the danger wasn’t too great.
"This!" The Great Crown Prince’s expression wavered with hesitation. Having narrowly escaped the third force recently, he dared not return regardless of the circumstances.
"Great Crown Prince, I’m not asking you to rescue her, just to find out if she still exists in this world!"
The Great Crown Prince nodded immediately, "That should be easy. Give me her details. There are many in the Demon God’s Hall within the third force. I’ll have them search for her!"
Ye Luo then relayed Qiong Yao’s information to the Great Crown Prince.
Since Ye Luo had spoken, he had to trust him!
"A human?" The Great Crown Prince’s expression shifted instantly.
"Yes, a human. This woman saved my life, and I’ve admired her for a long time!" Ye Luo confirmed with a nod.
The Great Crown Prince didn’t think much of it. Matrimonial ties between the Demon Race and other races weren’t uncommon, though such marriages faced significant challenges, which the Demon Race naturally wouldn’t allow. However, other forces were more lenient.
"That’s one request. Do you have any more?" continued the Great Crown Prince.
In fact, his gains this time weren’t small. His reputation was his greatest reward, and those Qiankun Rings saved him years of accumulation.
But Ye Luo shook his head, "In response to the Great Crown Prince, I have no more significant requests!"
The Great Crown Prince looked at him with surprise. Given Ye Luo’s low realm, this was a golden opportunity, a chance to leap forward, yet Ye Luo only made such a simple request!
Most of the Demon Race are inherently greedy, which made the Great Crown Prince even more intrigued by Ye Luo.
"In that case, why not follow me to the Demon God’s Hall? You’ve already offended the other princes, and they likely won’t let you off. At least in the Eastern Demon God’s Temple, your safety is guaranteed!"
Naturally, Ye Luo did not refuse. This was precisely his concern, and he doubted he could avoid the princes’ pursuit. Entering the Eastern Demon God’s Temple would eliminate many troubles.
"In that case, I thank the Great Crown Prince!" Ye Luo quickly bowed.
The Great Crown Prince nodded slightly, "You’ve greatly helped me this time. If you have any conditions, you can find me. Consider it a promise I owe you!"
With that said, the Great Crown Prince turned and left, and Ye Luo and Ling’er promptly followed.
In the next moment, the Great Crown Prince used a special teleportation method, and they were immediately transported away.
Soon after, a few figures appeared from the sky.
"Elder, this formation is our Demon God’s Hall’s treasured secret. It shouldn’t have spread. Even a low-level formation shouldn’t have been breached by that Great Crown Prince!"
A middle-aged man asked in confusion beside an elderly man.
"This puzzles me too. Something must be amiss. There must be a great master orchestrating all this!" the Elder frowned.
These two were unexpectedly strong figures from the Southern Demon God’s Temple.
"But we must take this seriously. The rise of the Great Crown Prince is inevitable, and we must prepare early. If necessary, we cannot let the Great Crown Prince remain in this world!" the Elder coldly stated.
Meanwhile, in the blink of an eye, Ye Luo found himself on the territory of the Eastern Demon God’s Temple.
At least Ye Luo turned to look at the sky. Those two strong individuals hadn’t escaped his perception. However, as to what they discussed or which force they belonged to, Ye Luo could not discern.
But he soon turned his head again. He knew those two were targeting the Great Crown Prince and had nothing to do with him.
Afterward, the Great Crown Prince had no further words for Ye Luo. After all, their previous conversation was already considerate enough; their statuses were worlds apart, so he certainly wouldn’t give him any more attention.
Nevertheless, a middle-aged man came over to arrange accommodation for Ye Luo and Ling’er.
Of course, they couldn’t live within the Demon God’s Hall itself. Only prestigious individuals of the Demon Race could reside there; ordinary Demon Race members were not permitted inside.
Ye Luo and Ling’er were placed in a Demon Race settlement since the Great Crown Prince only guaranteed their safety from other rival princes, with no promises about their status.
Now they had a place to stay, fulfilling the promise.
However, Ling’er was quite satisfied with this. The Cave Mansion was spacious, and both demonic and spiritual energies were abundant, making it quite a comfortable place to live.
Despite her seemingly carefree survival before, she was constantly evading her original form’s detection, living a life of anxiety. Such a life now was already very satisfying for her.
