Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Controlling the Five Elements Sect
"Of course, if you don’t follow my orders, if you have any selfish motives, I will certainly not be polite."
Ye Luo said, as the Nine Yang Mystic Art circulated within his body, an aura of terror spread out, pressing down on the scene and making the air seem to solidify. The disciples of the Five Elements Sect were all taken aback by their complexions.
"That’s all I have to say. As for the internal affairs of the Five Elements Sect, I will not interfere. Of course, what you need to do now is to improve your own strength."
As Ye Luo spoke, he waved his hand and suddenly a pile of Spirit Stones appeared in front of everyone. The rich Spiritual Energy emanated, shocking everyone present.
Looking at the thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones before them, everyone present, including Duan Ningyu and the three Elders, revealed an expression of utter shock, and some disciples of the Five Elements Sect even went completely dumbfounded.
They had probably never seen so many top-grade Spirit Stones in their entire lives.
There weren’t many Spirit Stones left in the entire Five Elements Sect. After years of consumption, there were scarcely any remaining. Therefore, these disciples of the Five Elements Sect didn’t even make up a third of the Innate Experts; most were only in the Acquired Realm, and there weren’t many above the Saint Realm either.
The appearance of so many Spirit Stones brimming with rich Spiritual Energy was as shocking to these disciples of the Five Elements Sect as placing a million in front of a beggar.
"What dense Spiritual Energy, these are all top-grade Spirit Stones!"
The three Elders looked at the pile of Spirit Stones, their pupils shrinking as they exclaimed.
Then, Ye Luo took out a pile of Elixirs and, looking at Duan Ningyu, said, "Take these Spirit Stones and Elixirs, and distribute them among the disciples of the Five Elements Sect."
"I don’t have any other demands. I just need their strength to increase as quickly as possible. With their current strength, they are like chicken ribs to me, completely worthless."
"I understand!"
Duan Ningyu came back to her senses and nodded at Ye Luo. At that moment, she felt that the decision she made was the right one. Perhaps with Ye Luo’s help, the Five Elements Sect would really grow stronger.
"What about her, should we kill her?"
Then Duan Ningyu’s gaze swept towards Huo Ji. Since Ye Luo was now the master of the Five Elements Sect, she looked at Ye Luo and asked.
Upon hearing Duan Ningyu’s words, Huo Ji’s body trembled and she hastily said to Ye Luo, "I’m sorry, I was just confused before. Please spare my life."
Ye Luo glanced indifferently at Huo Ji and said, "She hasn’t really done anything too terrible. Let her off this time and have her follow me and abide by my arrangements."
"Thank you!" Huo Ji sighed with a slight relief.
"What should you call me?" Ye Luo asked with a smile turning up the corners of his mouth, calmly watching Huo Ji.
Huo Ji’s eyes flickered for a moment, her expression somewhat hesitant as she looked at Ye Luo.
"It seems you still wish to die. In that case, then..."
"Master!"
Before Ye Luo could finish his sentence, Huo Ji quickly interjected.
"Hmm, that’s more like it. You can follow me around as a maid, serving tea and water."
Ye Luo spoke casually, while Huo Ji showed a face full of resentment, feeling humiliated.
Being a proud and ambitious woman, an Elder of the Fire Sect, and a Fifth Level Hua Yuan Realm expert, it was torment and humiliation for her to serve as a maid to a young man, to pour tea and water. This was absolutely a suffering and disgrace for her.
But she had no choice but to do so; otherwise, she would be dead. She did not want to die. Compared to death, all else seemed insignificant.
"Alright, I’ll be heading up. This pitch-dark place really isn’t nice to stay in. In the future, I’ll find you a place so you don’t have to stay underground any longer. You’re not moles, after all. What are you doing staying underground all day?"
Ye Luo curled his lips, then left the underground castle and emerged into the Li Family’s villa above.
"Mr. Ye!"
As soon as Ye Luo appeared, Li Tiancheng and Li Guangyuan showed up, looking at him with respectful faces.
"No need to be so formal, just treat me as a friend."
Ye Luo said as he sat down on the sofa to the side, with Huo Ji following behind him with an indifferent face.
Li Tiancheng glanced at Huo Ji and a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes. He naturally recognized Huo Ji, a definite powerhouse of the Five Elements Sect, and now she was actually following behind Ye Luo. He was astounded beyond measure.
"I’m thirsty!"
Ye Luo suddenly declared. Huo Ji hurriedly stepped forward to pour him a glass of water, her demeanor that of a serving maid, which shocked Li Tiancheng.
"Mr. Li, I heard there’s an auction in Macau tonight, featuring a Buddha Ancestor’s relic."
Ye Luo took the glass from Huo Ji’s hand, took a sip, and turned his gaze to Li Tiancheng.
"Yes, indeed, there’s a cultural artifacts auction at the Baili Building at nine o’clock tonight. That relic of the Buddha Ancestor is the hottest item of the auction. It’s said to be the remains of a Buddha Ancestor’s body after passing into nirvana, possessing mysterious powers that have drawn out many forces."
Li Tiancheng began to introduce the event, then looked at Ye Luo: "Does Mr. Ye also wish to obtain this relic of the Buddha Ancestor?"
"Since I’m here in Macau with nothing to do, I plan to check it out, but it’s still early for nine o’clock. Are there any other fun places around here in Macau? It’s my first time here, after all."
Ye Luo started.
"I know of one, I know of a fun place that I guarantee you’ll enjoy, Mr. Ye."
Li Guangyuan eagerly interjected.
"Oh? Then let’s go have a look." Ye Luo nodded.
He had nothing else to do anyway, so it was the perfect opportunity to go out and have some fun.
"Mr. Ye, if you’re going out, would you like me to arrange for some people to accompany you?"
Li Tiancheng asked.
"No need for that, your people are superfluous."
Ye Luo waved his hand and followed Li Guangyuan out of there.
In the Eastern District of Macau, there stood a building of several dozen stories, full of Western flair, its exterior sparkling with colorful neon lights, with the words "Baili Gate" shining brightly.
Outside, a continuous stream of luxury cars arrived at the place, with elegantly dressed men entering the Baili Gate—both young men and men in their forties and fifties.
A luxurious Bugatti Veyron arrived swiftly at the location, and soon a doorman dressed in a red uniform hurried forward to open the door.
However, Li Guangyuan, the driver, got out first, then respectfully opened the rear car door, leaving the doorman startled.
The doorman recognized him, as Li Guangyuan was a regular here.
Li Guangyuan was the son of Li Tiancheng, the richest man in Macau, and now the sole heir to the Li Family, a top-notch young master in Macau.
It was usually others who opened doors for him, but now he was opening the car door for someone else—this was simply unbelievable, yet it was happening right before their eyes.
"Mr. Ye, please!"
Li Guangyuan opened the car door with respect, and bowed.
