Chapter 2856: Chapter 2857: Disturbing the State of Mind

"It seems you’ve been planning this for a while, but I think, just by your own means, you wouldn’t dare act so recklessly!" The King of Huainan said slowly.

"Haha, the King of Huainan lives up to his name!"

After saying this, another short and chubby figure suddenly appeared in the air.

This chubby man looked unusually comical, akin to a clown, making several cultivators snicker involuntarily at the sight of him.

Nearby, several more strong warriors appeared in the air—each one’s cultivation was unfathomably deep!

Seeing these people, the King of Huainan’s expression gradually turned grim.

"Are you all unable to hold back any longer?" The King of Huainan squinted his eyes, gazing at these ancient enemies.

"Indeed, you destroyed my clan, how could I let you go peacefully? Today, I must cut you down to avenge my clan’s extinction!"

"Heh, King of Huainan, you’ve shone for half a life, yet didn’t expect to meet such an end today; I even feel regret for you! I held no great hatred against you, only found your domineering nature distasteful. Today, I’ll join these old friends to claim your life!"

These people were not in a rush, chatting with the King of Huainan like old friends reminiscing since they knew, they were at the pinnacle of the Demon Realm’s hierarchy, and those who could interfere in their battles were few and far between.

"Resolving our grievances today isn’t a bad idea either! Saves you from troubling my descendants after I’m gone!" The King of Huainan said blandly, "Just, I hope our battle won’t harm the innocents!"

After speaking, the King of Huainan glanced at the mountains and fields filled with cultivators, a look of pity in his eyes.

"Humph, just a bunch of ants! Honestly, had you focused solely on cultivation, your skills would have long been unmatched; our talents are nowhere near yours. Yet you had to be enamored with worldly power, only to meet such an end!" A strong warrior said regretfully.

The others agreed that the King of Huainan was set back due to entering the Temple for Die Er; that battle wounded his foundation! Otherwise, his power would undoubtedly have reached new heights!

Moreover, his battles against the Demon Race certainly consumed much of his cultivation time.

But the King of Huainan shook his head slowly, "That’s why you’ve been stuck at this realm, unable to break through! Your hearts have been confined! Now, it’s time for answers, and I invite our Royal Teacher to give you an explanation!"

Ye Luo was engrossed in listening to these old monsters chat, only to unwittingly become involved.

Suddenly, he felt like cursing his luck; what was the King of Huainan thinking by dragging him into this!

Even if his prowess was decent, it was only compared to younger generations! Against these old monsters, Ye Luo couldn’t withstand a single blow!

What a joke!

Yet, the King of Huainan had already used mana to pull Ye Luo to his side.

Clearly a case of forcing a duck onto a perch.

The other strong warriors also focused their gaze on Ye Luo, their eyes free from disdain or sneer, filled only with racial contempt!

Just like a human gazing at ants, would one mock ants? Clearly not, since fundamentally, they aren’t deserving of it!

Or perhaps these people simply didn’t regard Ye Luo as one of their kind!

This contempt, however, annoyed Ye Luo, thinking these immortals were merely old relics; if he reached their age, a finger could crush them!

After comprehending the War Intent Law, his confidence seemed to swell.

"What is cultivation? It’s merely cultivating the heart! The larger the heart, the greater the achievement!" Ye Luo said slowly, "With only oneself in one’s heart, assuming loyalty to cultivation, it’s actually selfish. Or, your hearts can only accommodate yourselves! The King of Huainan’s heart holds the entire world populace! This is true cultivation! His heart is far broader than yours! So, your hearts limit your realm! This is why the Prince, even with a damaged foundation, can cultivate ahead of you!"

Ye Luo’s words were part understanding, part nonsense.

Why did the King of Huainan bring him here? Simply to disrupt their mental state.

The King of Huainan had experienced Ye Luo’s wit, and Ye Luo’s words didn’t disappoint.

In reality, such words weren’t new on Earth; cultivation of heart and following true intent were familiar to even elementary students! But in this world, it’s different.

Of course, this difference pertains to different cultivators!

If told to ordinary cultivators, they’d likely call you crazy, or even hit you! Since Ye Luo’s words sounded ethereal, lacking apparent reason.

Yet, these old monsters were different.

Their cultivation had stalled, attempts were fruitless! Thus, Ye Luo’s words somehow convinced them!

Even if not fully convinced, they’ve at least disrupted their mental state!

Ye Luo wasn’t wrong about one thing: cultivators cultivate the heart, and if one’s mental state is unstable, it equates to foundational problems.

"Humph, full of nonsense, just a greenhorn kid, what qualifications does he have to preach before us!"

A strong warrior was exceedingly angry, launching a palm strike at Ye Luo.

This seemingly feather-light palm was enough to cause severe injuries to Ye Luo!

However, the King of Huainan merely laughed heartily, throwing a punch to counteract the palm’s power.

This scene left Ye Luo secretly surprised, witnessing these two strong warriors effortlessly wield such strength.

Looks like the King of Huainan was still hiding his strength that day, that old fox!

"Humph, greenhorn? Compared to your age, true enough, but what were you doing at my age? Frankly, if I were the same age as you, killing you would be like slaughtering dogs!" Ye Luo retorted without reservation, almost outright insulting them.

The crowd beneath was slowly withdrawing from the scene, but upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, many cultivators secretly admired him.

Daring to insult such strong warriors, this Royal Teacher truly was remarkable.

Hearing Ye Luo’s insults, these strong warriors’ expressions soured, yet they couldn’t rebut since Ye Luo was telling the truth.

"Enough talk, today, we’ll kill the King of Huainan, slaughter his descendants, and this third force should be under our control!" The warrior with deep hatred towards the King of Huainan immediately said.

Subsequently, the other warriors nodded in agreement, clearly lacking patience—Ye Luo’s sharp words were simply too much for them to handle.
