Chapter 2859: Chapter 2860: Drowning Sorrows in Wine

Why would this venomous woman target him!

Though he is a peerless genius among the younger generation, in the eyes of the older generation, he is somewhat lacking.

Take this woman as an example, if she were to encounter Ye Luo alone and initiate a fight, Ye Luo would hardly escape with his life.

Ye Luo acted as if he didn’t see her, lowered his head, what a joke, provoking such a woman, and how he would die is beyond knowledge.

The woman didn’t pursue it further, her figure gradually turning ethereal.

As for the Demon Race, there was nothing to say against the King of Huainan since both parties are merely in a temporary cooperative relationship; afterwards, they remain as mortal enemies!

It’s predicted that the King of Huainan will inevitably have a battle with the Assassin Alliance in the future because the King had previously issued a decree to attack them.

However, Ye Luo also knows that these major powers are entirely driven by pure interests! For the sake of interests, they could fight fiercely to the death, yet in the blink of an eye, they could stand together shoulder to shoulder.

After all the experts had retreated, the cultivators at the foot of the mountain burst into cheers.

The King of Huainan has ultimately triumphed.

In truth, they had previously heard rumors that the end for the King of Huainan was near, and further rumors said that his strength had greatly diminished; they even believed before that he might actually be an incarnation, and the true King of Huainan dared not appear here.

Yet after this battle, they no longer doubted this is the King of Huainan; his incarnations and substitutions do not possess such strength.

Following the battle, Emperor Mountain was in disarray, with nearly all of its structures destroyed. Naturally, if it weren’t for the array that guarded Emperor Mountain during such a level of combat, it would have been shattered long ago.

Despite this, the birthday banquet couldn’t proceed, the King of Huainan had long departed, and the nobility was heading towards the Royal City.

Ye Luo shrugged, noticing Nameless approaching.

He is the designated successor by the King of Huainan, and just before the battle started, he was escorted away by several peerless experts.

Naturally, the other princes were much the same.

But Nameless’s days have become much better, those princes naturally heard of the rumors that the King of Huainan was near his end, which is why they were so arrogant, especially the Third Prince who colluded with the Assassin Alliance to assassinate Nameless and Ye Luo.

However, the King of Huainan now appears quite formidable, showing no signs of being near his end!

Against the backdrop of the King of Huainan’s past behavior, it’s clearly a trap set by him!

It’s feared the Third Prince now wonders how to feel remorse, his previous intentions were truly too obvious, and the King of Huainan never shows mercy to those who betray him, not even to his own son.

In fact, the Third Prince had already returned to his manor, and there he was pacing feverishly back and forth.

"Teacher, what should we do? Father is completely unharmed, it seems we were too impulsive!" he said while wringing his hands.

Even the elder found it difficult to maintain a calm demeanor, his gaze turning somewhat panicked.

"Third Prince, at this moment, His Majesty won’t spare us. It’s feared that after he handles current matters, he will target us. We must make preparations ahead of time!" the elder replied promptly.

The Third Prince suddenly stopped, his face turning somewhat ferocious.

"Indeed, given Father’s disposition, he certainly won’t spare us. Since he disregards familial bonds, I cannot be blamed either, luckily I had prepared!" the Third Prince said, his eyes gleaming.

The elder froze for a moment, his expression suddenly changing, "Third Prince, you wouldn’t be thinking!"

"Indeed, only in that region will Father not extend his reach!"

Then the elder fell into silence.

"So be it! That region’s forces were previously overseen by me personally; now I’ll go and make arrangements!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince nodded slightly, and the elder walked out.

The elder was quite swift, returning hurriedly in less than an hour.

"Third Prince, everything is ready; we can teleport directly!"

"Great, I’ve sorted everything out. We mustn’t delay; let’s hit the road immediately!"

Subsequently, the elder activated the teleportation array, and once it was triggered, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, in a grand hall, the King of Huainan stood expressionlessly by the window, gazing outside with a complex look.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Third Prince!" Shadow hesitated to speak beside him.

"No need to say more, he believes that region is a paradise, little does he know, it’s a hell! Am I truly such a heartless man? Were it not for his departure, I’d have let him live happily in the Royal City. Why would I wish to take his life!"

Shadow sighed, "Your Majesty, for someone like the Third Prince, the life you arranged for him might frighten him more than death!"

His Majesty paused, slowly shook his head, and sighed.

Ye Luo and Nameless, meanwhile, were immensely pleased.

They sat on the ground, Nameless having specially brought a good jar of wine, though he previously didn’t drink. Ever since he drank once with Ye Luo, he couldn’t resist.

Ye Luo wasn’t very interested in this wine. Compared to the wine on Earth, it was inferior.

Still, it’s better than nothing! With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the taste is barely acceptable.

"I bet this time those little rascals regret it. Let’s see how arrogant they’ll be in the future!" Nameless cursed vehemently.

The little rascals he referred to are naturally the Third Prince and those other princes like the Twelfth Prince.

The term "little rascals" is something he learned from Ye Luo on occasion.

Ye Luo smiled bitterly, "They are little rascals, and what about you?"

"Of course, I’m a little rascal too!"

After saying this, he burst into laughter, grabbed the wine jar, and drank heartily.

The wine from the Demon Realm, though not tasting great, is quite potent; unlike Earthly wine, a slight use of spiritual power dissolves its effects, yet here, the more spiritual power one exerts, the deeper the intoxication.

Thud!

Nameless collapsed directly on the ground, clutching the wine jar, and fell into a deep sleep.

Even Ye Luo felt somewhat fuzzy-headed, indicating the wine’s potency indeed.

Just then, a figure slowly descended the staircase, it was naturally Princess Qinse.

Upon returning, she had stayed upstairs, Ye Luo didn’t bother her, yet she unexpectedly came down.

"Can this wine truly dispel sorrow?" she asked in surprise.

Clearly, she had overheard Ye Luo’s comment on drowning sorrows with alcohol.
