Above the clouds, Ye Luo sat in his assigned seat on the airplane, yet he began to close his eyes to rest and rejuvenate.
More accurately, to heal his injuries. Although Ye Luo had not ntioned anything, his confrontation with those from the Corpse King Palace had indeed drained him substantially.
Especially that true powerhouse from the Corpse King Palace at the Spirit Sea Realm, who had shattered Ye Luo’s Golden Domain with a single punch!
To put it bluntly, had Ye Luo not reacted quickly and had his opponent not beco overly excited, the outco of that battle would still be an unsolved mystery.
The flight proceeded smoothly.
However, Ye Luo knew well that once he disembarked, his troubles would also arrive.
From the mont people in the waiting hall had taken photos of Ye Luo with their phones and uploaded them to the internet, he understood this point.
Ye Luo no longer underestimated the strength of the Corpse King Palace as he had before.
Those guys had arranged for people even in a small town, let alone in the Capital City!
Suddenly, a flight attendant approached Ye Luo and woke him.
"Mr. Ye, the captain requests your presence; he says there’s an important matter."
Ye Luo was montarily stunned. Could there be people from the Corpse King Palace on this plane?
But quickly, Ye Luo shook his head. Recently, he had beco almost paranoid due to the Corpse King Palace’s actions.
It was just a flight. How could the Corpse King Palace know his whereabouts so quickly and make arrangents?
"Alright, I’ll head there now."
Soon, Ye Luo arrived at the cockpit where the captain was steering. At that mont, the captain’s expression changed slightly. Upon seeing Ye Luo approach, he imdiately spoke, "Mr. Ye, I’ve received two pieces of information from the ground, but they completely contradict each other. The first ssage orders us to head imdiately to Yanjing Airport and ignore all other ssages. However, the other ssage instructs us to land at the nearest airport imdiately and not to go to Yanjing Airport. Both ssages claim soone intends to harm you!"
For this very reason?
Hearing the news, Ye Luo fell into contemplation.
Clearly, one of these ssages was sent by soone from the Corpse King Palace, while the other, whose sender Ye Luo did not know, was evidently ant for his benefit.
Obviously, so force had learned of the Corpse King Palace’s plan to ambush Ye Luo, and thus they issued a warning.
But who could it be?
Ye Luo could not figure it out. If it were the people from the security bureau, they wouldn’t simply send a ssage and then ignore the situation!
But apart from the security bureau, who else could it be?
Ye Luo didn’t have many friends, but he had plenty of enemies. Moreover, only a powerful force that could infiltrate the Corpse King Palace with spies would know their movents.
Hidden Sect? A secular family?
Ye Luo suddenly realized that he couldn’t think of any force that fit this description because the Corpse King Palace had appeared suddenly. Before their ergence, they were even thought to be a power that had long been destroyed!
Of course, this wasn’t the ti for Ye Luo to ponder this, but to analyze which ssage to trust!
Each ti, the Corpse King Palace sent stronger n, and Ye Luo was not entirely sure he could defeat them every ti.
Besides, Zhao Yirou was still by his side, and clearly, the Corpse King Palace would not consider much. They might even attack Ye Luo in a busy street. The previous incident at Lianhua Supermarket was a pri example.
So, it’s better to avoid trouble. Ye Luo did not wish to engage the Corpse King Palace directly, at least not in a busy street, to avoid involving innocent bystanders.
Then, which ssage should Ye Luo trust?
Wait a mont!
Suddenly, Ye Luo ca to his senses.
A ssage instructed Ye Luo to head straight to the Capital City, with a crystal-clear destination.
Yet, another ssage implied that Ye Luo could land anywhere he wanted!
On the surface, it seed as though soone knew there was an ambush in the Capital City and thus inford Ye Luo not to go there.
But upon closer thought, it didn’t seem to be the case, as the Capital City, after all, was the capital with countless strong figures, and previously Elder Shi had warned Ye Luo that high-ranking officials might be controlled by the Corpse King Palace, but he hadn’t ntioned any issues with the Capital City.
Instead, if Ye Luo were to stop at any airport, then undoubtedly, he would be giving the Corpse King Palace ti to prepare!
It seed that both choices had their reasons, but Ye Luo trusted his instincts!
"Fly straight to the Capital City, don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!"
Ye Luo told the pilot, and at the sa ti, he took out the booklet symbolizing his rank as a Major.
The pilot was slightly stunned but then nodded without hesitation.
Although the pilot didn’t know why Ye Luo ignored the other ssage, he himself had no opinion, and furthermore, Ye Luo had presented that little booklet, which dispelled any of his doubts.
Elsewhere, several figures in black robes were gathered together.
"Elder, the plane didn’t do as we instructed and is still flying towards the Capital City!"
"Hmph, I know, the rest of you, imdiately trace the source of the other signal, I want to see who dares to oppose the Corpse King Palace!"
"Elder, there’s no need for further investigation, we’ve already tracked down the source of that signal. I don’t know if it’s because they were rushed and didn’t have ti to disguise it better, or if they weren’t worried about us discovering it, so we found the signal quite easily!"
"Oh, where is it?"
The Corpse King Palace Elder asked with a puzzled expression.
This operation was a sudden strike, and not many knew about this action, including this Elder, who was inford only after the Sect made the decision.
But just as he was taking action, a signal was sent out from the plane Ye Luo was on, which certainly raised the Elder’s suspicions.
"Back to the Elder, the signal originated from the Sect headquarters!"
What!
The Elder’s expression changed slightly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Elder, after several verifications, we drew the sa conclusion—the signal ca from our Sect headquarters and was then forwarded by the police. This process only went through one interdiary, so we caught the signal very easily!"
The Sect headquarters! It was actually the headquarters!
The Corpse King Palace Elder’s mind was in disarray, unable to comprehend why a signal would be sent from the headquarters.
Could it be that the headquarters had other arrangents, yet he had received no orders to cancel the mission!
Or perhaps, there were spies in the headquarters!
With this thought, the Elder’s expression drastically changed, and he imdiately began reporting the situation!
The headquarters of the Corpse King Palace was highly secretive, having been operational for a thousand years.
But at the sa ti, the headquarters of the Corpse King Palace had a fatal weakness: it couldn’t be moved, because the only way to contact the upper echelons was inside the headquarters, through an altar that couldn’t be relocated!
