Mo Luo

"Master." Fire Fairy Tang Xinlian bowed respectfully to Mo Luo.

All the guards in the arena knelt on one knee before Mo Luo, as if the person who had appeared was their emperor.

"Brother Ye Feng, let's talk somewhere else." Mo Luo waved his hand, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. He appeared in an empty square with Ye Feng, Tang Xinlian, and Ying Huanhuan Mu Lingshan.

The square was very quiet; it was quite large, but there were only five of them.

Mo Luo remained silent, but Tang Xinlian couldn't help but ask Ye Feng, raising her beautiful eyebrows and saying, "Ye Feng? You're the number one ranked Ye Feng?"

"Mm." Ye Feng nodded.

"Master said you're quite capable." Tang Xinlian's gaze swept over Ye Feng, seemingly a little jealous, and she said, "But I didn't realize it!"

"Xinlian, don't be unreasonable. You can't judge a book by its cover. You can't take anything for granted just because you see it with your eyes." Mo Luo scolded Tang Xinlian, then said, "A few months ago, I went out and unexpectedly obtained the Thunder Talisman Ancestor. The purpose of this competition is to lure out the truly powerful Otherworldly Demons. According to the intelligence we have, Otherworldly Demons don't show themselves easily. They hide inside human bodies and then participate in the competition in a legitimate way, challenging everyone to obtain the Thunder Talisman Ancestor."

Ye Feng was very clear about the Mo Luo Hand incident.

The Otherworldly Demons implant a demonic seed within a person's body, granting that person immense power.

"There are too many powerful participants this time. It's impossible to make a selection. If the Otherworldly Demons hidden within becomes the champion, the authenticity of the Thunder Talisman Ancestor will be exposed, and our opportunity will also be revealed. Then, our plan to lure out a heavyweight Otherworldly Demons will also disappear."

"Therefore, we must let normal humans win the championship, thereby forcing the Otherworldly Demons hiding in the shadows to show themselves and seize the prize."

"I suspect that Xu Xiu, who is ranked first on the Rookie Ranking, has a problem."

"Besides Xu Xiu, there is another person from the Yuan Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region who also needs our attention. His name is Hua Chen."

Mo Luo recounted the information he had obtained.

After Mo Luo finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Ye Feng.

"Why don't you have any expression at all?" Mo Luo asked.

"Expressions? What expressions do you need me to have? Surprise, hesitation... or, together with you, setting a trap to lure those Otherworldly Demons into it?" Ye Feng asked.

"You don't want to?"

"Of course I don't want to. The Otherworldly Demons have Otherworldly Demon General, Otherworldly Demon King, and Otherworldly Demon Emperor. What kind of Otherworldly Demons can you possibly summon? The Otherworldly Demons care about most not the Eight Ancestral Symbol, but rather breaking free of the sealed Otherworldly Demon Emperor. With the Otherworldly Demon Emperor, they will believe that the Symbol Ancestor is dead, and no one can stop them. You may be clever, but are the Otherworldly Demons stupid?"

"Then... the tournament I reported..."

"For me, it's children's games."

Ye Feng gave Mo Luo's actions an extremely negative review.

Mo Luo's intentions were good; he wanted to lure out the Otherworldly Demons and then wipe them out in one fell swoop. However, he underestimated the Otherworldly Demons ' strength.

"Mo Luo, I suggest you abandon your plan." Ying Huanhuan earnestly advised Mo Luo: "If Otherworldly Demon General comes, I won't worry about the Flame God Temple. If a Otherworldly Demon King comes, although you are very strong, you are still no match for the Otherworldly Demon King. In the past, of the eight of us, one died in battle, and the rest were either forced into slumber to suppress the Otherworldly Demon King or forced to reincarnate."

"Eight people? Suppression? Rebirth?" Mo Luo pondered for a moment, then asked in an inquiring tone, "Are you one of the Ancient Eight Masters?"

"Ice Master".

"What? Ice Master?"

Mo Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"Ice Master!"

Tang Xinlian was stunned for a moment. She stared at Tang Xinlian speechlessly.

"Excuse my bluntness, but have you regained your strength?" Mo Luo asked.

"Mm." Ying Huanhuan nodded.

"Now that you have regained your strength, you should lend me a hand and contribute your own strength to protecting this world."

"Mo Luo, I have no interest. To be honest, Feng is also planning a much bigger scheme. If you are interested, then cancel the tournament, conserve your energy, and prepare for the Second Great War of Heaven and Earth."

"The Second Great War of Heaven and Earth?" Mo Luo was stunned for a moment, then thought of a possibility and said, "You want to break the seal on the Otherworldly Demon Emperor?"

"Is there anything else?" Ye Feng asked.

"That's all. You have your plans, and I have mine. The tournament is in five days. If you stay in Great Yan City during this time, you can contact Xinlian if you need anything. She still controls the city's Enforcement Team." Mo Luo smiled.

Tang Xinlian glanced at Ye Feng with her beautiful eyes and said calmly, "I won't bend the law for personal gain. In the territory under the jurisdiction of the Flame God Temple, no matter who you are, you have to follow the rules. If you behave yourself in Great Yan City, no one will dare to provoke you."

As soon as Tang Xinlian finished speaking, she tossed her fiery red hair and turned away with a flourish. Her captivating silhouette exuded an extraordinary air of dominance.

Ying Huanhuan smiled and watched Tang Xinlian turn and leave. She thought to herself that this girl really had guts.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing this, Mo Luo couldn't help but laugh, and asked half-jokingly, "How about it? My chief disciple is quite capable, isn't he? I see you two are about the same age, so why don't we get together? Although you have a bright future and your cultivation is beyond my comprehension, Xinlian is no ordinary woman either. It's not too much to ask of you, is it?"

"Hehe..."

Ye Feng smiled. Without making any visible movement, he and Ying Huanhuan vanished into thin air.

A single thought can shift one's position in an instant.

Mo Luo was taken aback. He secretly sighed, realizing that Ye Feng's cultivation was even more formidable than he had imagined. Looking at the spot where Ye Feng had been standing, he asked, "First Elder, what do you think?"

As Mo Luo's voice faded, space slowly distorted, and an old man in a fiery red robe appeared out of thin air. "If Xinlian could be with him, it would indeed be a wonderful thing. However, if the Palace Master truly wants to bring him and Xinlian together, he must think of a way. Given Xinlian's personality, without some means, the two of them are destined to be together but not to stay together. Apart from him, Lin Dong, Lin Langtian, and Chi Hao are all good candidates."

"Lin Dong, Lin Langtian, and Chi Hao... Come on, they're just this young man's disciples. I really admire Ye Feng; so young, yet his cultivation is so high, and his methods of teaching are remarkable. None of his disciples are easy to deal with." Mo Luo paused, then asked, "Where are Xu Xiu and Hua Chen?"

"Neither of them has shown up yet. Without Ye Feng's help, Xinlian probably won't be able to stop them."

"Hmm, indeed, we can't stop them. Since we can't stop them, then we won't." Mo Luo smiled meaningfully. The cunning glint in his eyes revealed that he was definitely not up to any good.
