What on earth is going on?

Ye Luo was bewildered, but soon, the answer revealed itself.

Suddenly, two rays of light shot out from that black dot, one directly infused into the sword placed beside it.

And the other transformed into a dagger!

What’s happening?

At this moment, Ye Luo was also puzzled. He first picked up the dagger and examined it closely, only to discover that its power was astonishing, with certain abilities Ye Luo hadn’t noticed yet.

Afterward, Ye Luo inspected the longsword but found that it seemingly hadn’t changed at all, except for the words "Square Circle" appearing on the sword’s spine!

Square Circle? What does this mean?

Ye Luo was confused at this point.

However, he suddenly recalled a warning from the earlier voice.

The objects in your hand can be handed over, but the imprint in your mind must never be surrendered.

Could it be that this dagger or longsword is just a diversion?

Unfortunately, there was no explanation given to Ye Luo, so he was entirely unclear about the true nature of things.

Then, Ye Luo meticulously searched the area, leaving no stone unturned, including examining the corpses, hoping to find some clues or perhaps discover a Qiankun Ring or something similar!

But strangely, with Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye, nothing should be able to stay hidden, yet Ye Luo did not find even a fragment or any item in a Storage Bag.

This result inevitably raised doubts in Ye Luo’s heart.

After all, so many formidable individuals perished here, it stands to reason that something should have been left behind.

Then perhaps there’s only one possibility, which is that this place had already been searched!

And the only entity capable of doing so must be the Sacred Temple!

Could it be that the Sacred Temple knew all along that the powerful individuals here had fallen, and perhaps was even the one persecuting them?

Therefore, they took everything from this place.

But they didn’t find what they were looking for, so they left it as it was!

Now that Ye Luo arrived, they identified Ye Luo’s human identity and wanted to use him to find the object they desired?

Though there was no evidence to prove Ye Luo’s hypothesis, he was already convinced of this conclusion.

Given the eerie situation of this human secret realm in the Demon Clan territory guarded by the remains of formidable individuals.

Ten thousand-year agreement?

Ye Luo didn’t think the Demon Clan would adhere to such an agreement unless there was profit to be made. After all, the Human Race and Demon Clan are constantly at odds.

As for alliances during Ancient Times between Humans and Demons, how many remember them now?

Ye Luo silently buried all the bones here. Regardless, these individuals were predecessors of the Human Race who willingly died in this small cave to protect the secret of the destiny-changing item. This spirit isn’t something just anyone has.

Guardian clans?

No one knows how many guardian clans of the Human Race exist in this world.

After all, this cave guarded nothing but a fragment of the destiny item, so naturally, other fragments and the destiny itself must also be protected.

What kind of existence is this ancient artifact, the destiny-changing item, that it can influence the fortune of the Human Race?

At this moment, the matter of the destiny-changing item was silently remembered by Ye Luo. He knew clearly that to alter the fortune of the Human Race, activating this item was the only way.

Unfortunately, accomplishing that is indeed quite difficult.

No one needed to tell Ye Luo; he knew that the destiny-changing item must be coveted by countless people and factions, and any who know of it must be terrifying forces.

Perhaps Ye Luo’s lowly status now is the best cover because no one would suspect a mere person from the Ninth Region to possess knowledge of the destiny-changing item!

After burying all the bones in the eighteen-layered cave, Ye Luo then proceeded toward the cave entrance.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw that more than a dozen people were already waiting for him.

At this moment, Ye Luo further solidified his speculation that the Sacred Temple was indeed coveting the secret of the cave.

But perhaps some special restrictions or formation inside the cave prevented the temple’s people from entering, or they simply couldn’t find what they wanted. Hence, they let Ye Luo in.

But one thing is certain: if Ye Luo doesn’t provide a satisfactory answer today, he will likely not be able to leave!

"You human lad, you’ve finally come out!"

The man in the red robe appeared again, none other than the Sacred Temple’s High Priest. At this moment, although the High Priest wore a smile, Ye Luo could clearly see the anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, I have come out!"

Ye Luo remained composed, aware that the seemingly calm atmosphere was actually quite perilous for him. Any misstep against the Sacred Temple could result in immediate capture or even loss of life.

"Alright, it’s good that you came out. So, did you find the item of promise?"

Can’t hold back anymore? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Ye Luo knew they had an agenda.

Ye Luo didn’t dare hesitate because he knew full well that the current situation made keeping things to himself impossible.

So, Ye Luo could only simultaneously reveal the dagger and longsword.

Sure enough, upon seeing the two items, the red-robed High Priest’s eyes immediately lit up, and he even hurried toward Ye Luo.

But Ye Luo keenly sensed his gaze was focused on the dagger, not caring for the longsword.

Of course, if this longsword truly had appeal to them, they would have taken it earlier, so why wait until now?

Ye Luo even thought that the longsword must have been deliberately left by the temple folk.

After all, such a large cave being stripped clean is clearly unreasonable.

"It truly is the Dragon Tooth dagger. Haha, indeed the Dragon Tooth dagger has finally been found by us!"

"Human lad, this dagger is a Demon Clan’s possession. Our Sacred Temple adhered to the agreement and guarded this place. Since you’ve found the longsword belonging to your Human Race, should not the dagger belonging to our Demon Clan be returned to us?"

At this moment, Ye Luo truly admired those fallen powerful figures within the cave; they successfully diverted the attention of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Temple with a mere dagger! No wonder Ye Luo was instructed to hand over the items when needed; it seems this scene had long been foreseen!

And of course, Ye Luo admired the Sacred Temple folk’s shamelessness.
