Chapter 2956: Meeting the Sect Master

The strength of these disciples was entirely cultivated step by step, without a trace of technology involved.

In that case, the Tianyi Sect should have nothing to do with the Seed Force.

“Senior brothers, what happened, who are these people?”

One of the talented disciples immediately asked.

“They hold a Tianyi Token and claim to be guests of the Sect Master!” The middle-aged man quickly responded.

He showed great respect to these young disciples, clearly indicating their extraordinary status.

“Oh? They actually have a Tianyi Token! Please follow me!”

They did not salute Ye Luo and his companions like the guards did, but simply led the way, maintaining a dignified demeanor, which Ye Luo appreciated.

Soon, they were taken to a grand hall, which was magnificent with an aura of dominance, hinting at the past glory of the Tianyi Sect.

However, the halls now showed signs of decline, exuding a sense of a hero in twilight.

“Bring them in!”

As soon as the young disciples entered the hall, an old voice resonated within.

“As you command!”

The young disciples bowed slightly to the air, and immediately, a wall on one side of the hall made a rumbling sound!

Behind it lay a hidden space, truly another world!

Apparently, this was the Sect Master’s Cave Mansion, suggesting that the earlier voice was indeed the Sect Master, who was not in seclusion!

This time, only Ye Luo, Shadow, and Luo Xue entered, while the guards waited outside in the hall.

As they entered the space, the wall quickly returned to its original state, sealing the entrance!

Nevertheless, the three did not panic. Before them stood a frail old man with an impressive aura that was not deliberately emitted!

This was a peerless expert, surpassing even the King of Huainan and the King of Assassins.

Seeing this old man, Ye Luo became more vigilant.

The Tianyi Sect, the once foremost sect, clearly had profound foundations, as evidenced by the talented disciples and the Sect Master’s cultivation.

“You have acquired the Tianyi Tokens; tell me your purpose for coming to the Tianyi Sect!” The old man spoke indifferently, without turning to look at them.

“We are here to seek the Tianyi Sect’s protection! We have offended the Killing Sect!” Ye Luo stated honestly.

“Naturally, with the Tianyi Token, no matter whom you’ve offended, the Tianyi Sect can guarantee your safety!” The old man replied calmly!

What audacity this was! And such a person would not lie, indicating that the Tianyi Sect must have even stronger experts than the Sect Master!

Indeed, it is defying the heavens!

“That’s one reason. Secondly, we wish to enter that city! Does the Sect Master have a way?” Ye Luo asked.

“That is not a place for you. Stay peacefully in the Tianyi Sect!” the Sect Master said slowly.

There was absolutely no room for negotiation in his words.

“I have a compelling reason to go!” Ye Luo replied firmly.

“Oh?” For the first time, the Sect Master turned his head; despite his aged appearance, his eyes remained incredibly bright.

He glanced up and down at Ye Luo before saying no more.

“Indeed, you are quite an impressive young man, surpassing even my own talents and fortune from my youth! It’s not impossible for you to go to that city, but it won’t be easy, and we need some time to prepare!” the Sect Master said.

Ye Luo nodded slightly, knowing that since the Sect Master agreed, he would indeed follow through.

“You may leave now; I will inform you once I have news!” the Sect Master subsequently said.

Ye Luo knew that the Sect Master did not fully trust them and thus did not intend to interact with them more.

Upon leaving the hall, servants were waiting outside and came up to greet them as they exited.

“Great ones, the sect has prepared a Cave Mansion for you, let me guide you there!”

Ye Luo and his companions nodded slightly, following the servant’s lead.

The Cave Mansion arranged for them, though somewhat run-down, was rich in Spiritual Energy and spacious, feeling even more delightful than the luxury Cave Mansion of the Killing Sect.

“Ye Luo, are we just to wait here for news?” Luo Xue asked with a frown.

They decided to all stay in Ye Luo’s Cave Mansion since it was large enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people, allowing mutual protection in case of any situation.

Although the Tianyi Sect seemed polite on the surface, they couldn’t be sure of its true nature.

Now, apart from each other, they dared not trust anyone else.

Subsequent days turned somewhat quiet, with no news coming through. They only heard that the Tianyi Sect had some friction with the Killing Sect, but couldn’t gather any specific information.

A few days later, concrete news finally came through: the Killing Sect and Tianyi Sect were at full-scale war, with many Great Sects also involved.

In this situation, the Tianyi Sect was in critical danger!

After all, even though it was once the foremost sect, it struggled against such powerful sect sieges.

Ye Luo further realized that it was entirely the Seed Force pressuring them.

The Tianyi Sect’s millennia of accumulation; how many resources and treasures it held, no one could tell.

But one thing was sure, the Killing Sect, established only a hundred years ago, likely didn’t have even a tenth of the Tianyi Sect’s foundation!

Likewise, the Tianyi Sect’s power must be incredibly formidable.

Should they gain control over the Tianyi Sect, the Seed Force’s overall strength would greatly increase.

Therefore, the Tianyi Sect entered full defense mode, with its disciples marching to the battlefield.

Ye Luo and his group saw a great number of disciples leave the sect daily.

It was evident that the Tianyi Sect’s disciple count was astoundingly high, debunking rumors of its reclusive status!

What a joke, even if five Killing Sect branches combined, they likely wouldn’t match the Tianyi Sect’s numbers! Such a sect couldn’t possibly be reclusive.

Yet the war reports from the frontlines were not optimistic!

The Tianyi Sect’s disciples were retreating continuously, having lost several territories.

Although those territories were not crucial for the Tianyi Sect, losing them was still a significant blow.

On that day, the Sect Master summoned Ye Luo and his group into the grand hall again.

This time, the Sect Master was not in that space but met with the three in the hall.

“There have been some changes; now that we are at war with the Killing Sect, we are under close surveillance. Sending you into that city is unlikely to happen in the short term!” the Sect Master said apologetically.
