"What!"
Ye Luo was sowhat shocked by Yun Liancheng’s words and, at the sa ti, confused as to why!
The Cloud Temple existed primarily for treasure hunting, not for killing!
Even if disputes arose due to Magical Treasures, battles should only occur after a treasure was found or if soone had already claid it!
But now, everyone had just entered the temple—why did it lead to such large-scale conflict?
Based on Yun Liancheng’s words, it seed like the entire Cloud Temple had descended into chaos!
What could be the reason for this?
Could it be that within the Cloud Temple, there was so kind of special Formation affecting people’s minds?
But if that were the case, why was Ye Luo completely unaffected?
And judging from Yun Liancheng’s deanor, he didn’t seem to be affected either!
If not that, what else could be the cause?
Ye Luo furrowed his brows, unable to figure it out!
Because Ye Luo had overlooked one thing—the human heart! And the ultimate Law of the Martial Realm!
The human heart is always the most unfathomable. When soone faces threats, their instinct is to prioritize their own protection, regardless of what happens to others.
Killing?
As long as survival is ensured, even the gentlest person might kill!
What’s more, in the Martial Realm where strength reigns supre, without power, one would rely beco prey for others!
The Great Tang Empire was relatively better, governed by laws, but that didn’t an it was perfect!
Upon entering the Cloud Temple, human hearts beca even more elusive!
And once the first person was killed, any hesitation to kill the second, third, or more would vanish entirely!
Bloodthirsty, cruel?
No, in truth, they had simply beco numb!
Moreover, if killing brought tangible benefits, it would make people even more ruthless!
Everyone who entered the Cloud Temple would have co fully prepared, bringing their best Magical Treasures.
And by killing others, one could easily seize their treasures without even needing to explore!
Such a simple notion would naturally tempt so to act!
The Demon Clan was rely the spark igniting the beast hidden within these human hearts.
In fact, at this mont, even the Demon Clan had to tread carefully and stick together!
Because they too hadn’t expected that, once the so-called elite of the Human Race awakened the beasts inside of them, the resulting terror would be so overwhelming!
Ye Luo stared at Yun Liancheng’s image displayed on his hand ring. Though he didn’t know Yun Liancheng’s exact position, Ye Luo was determined not to abandon him!
From the mont Ye Luo stepped into the Cloud Temple, he had assud there wouldn’t be any real danger. Since he hadn’t encountered any threats along the way, he instinctively paid no mind to others.
He let the others explore for treasures.
But now it seed his decision had been wrong.
"Brother Yun, lead your group toward my position. Don’t worry, I’m right here. If you don’t co, I won’t leave!"
Ye Luo called out to Yun Liancheng because he understood that he was currently safe, while Yun Liancheng was in danger. If Ye Luo went to find him, it might only push Yun Liancheng into a more perilous situation, so it was better for Yun Liancheng to approach him!
This instruction wasn’t just for Yun Liancheng. After addressing him, Ye Luo imdiately activated the positioning function on his hand ring.
Since entering the Cloud Temple, Ye Luo hadn’t even bothered to check the hand ring!
But upon seeing the green dots marked on the device, his brows furrowed tightly!
Less than thirty green dots remained, aning fewer than thirty Royal Academy students were still alive.
The ferocity of the external battles was hard to imagine, but the scale of the deaths made Ye Luo acutely feel the chilling presence of death!
Ye Luo abruptly summoned the Lingyun Sword, gripping it tightly in his hand, even though there was no enemy nearby!
Regardless, Ye Luo still drew the Lingyun Sword.
Killing! It had begun so suddenly, so cruelly.
"Everyone, move toward my position!"
Ye Luo issued his first command since entering the Cloud Temple, and it was also the only one.
Beyond this single instruction, Ye Luo couldn’t issue any other commands.
The chaos continued to unfold, and Ye Luo remained in place, waiting for others to approach him.
Yet what Ye Luo didn’t know was that he was no longer safe!
The Demon Clan had entered the Cloud Temple with a primary goal of creating chaos and slaughtering the Human Race elites.
But their second goal was to kill Ye Luo!
In fact, killing Ye Luo was even more important than their first objective!
Previously, because Ye Luo constantly changed locations, the Demon Clan couldn’t pinpoint his position despite taking out Royal Academy students. However, things were now different—Ye Luo had exposed his position!
Like a beacon, his presence was dazzling, illuminating the way for the Royal Academy students—but also serving as a clear target for the Demon Clan!
As soon as Ye Luo’s green marker stopped moving, many Demon Clan mbers grew excited!
They had finally found their chance; Ye Luo’s stationary location had been pinpointed!
Swarms of Demon Clan mbers abandoned their slaughter of Human Race elites and their plans to disrupt the Cloud Temple, converging entirely on Ye Luo instead. The human battles alone were already sufficient to spell destruction for the Human Race!
The Demon Clan now had plenty of ti to deal with Ye Luo!
Tick-tock, tick-tock—the monts slipped away.
Ye Luo remained rooted in place, unmoving. Aside from checking his hand ring occasionally, he hadn’t taken a single step elsewhere!
Several green dots vanished once again from the hand ring.
Ye Luo knew each green dot represented a life—a Royal Academy student’s life.
But he was utterly powerless to stop it.
Thankfully, the green dots representing Yun Liancheng and Ling Xue were unthreatened and steadily closing in on Ye Luo’s position. This alone gave Ye Luo slight relief.
Just as Ye Luo prepared to check the hand ring again to see how many green dots still remained—
Suddenly, Ye Luo beca alert and leapt into the air without hesitation!
"Boom!"
The spot where Ye Luo had stood abruptly erupted, and from underground, a shadow erged!
