"What do you mean, senior? Of course, I know of your great reputation, but I truly have nothing to hide from you, haven’t I already given you the Qiankun Ring?"

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, it seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Elder Jin spoke lightly, and with a wave of his hand, a puppet forged by law was suddenly unleashed, instantly trapping that person!

"This is a puppet made from the gravity law, continuously increasing gravity. Rest assured, it’s not something you can resist. Tell me, why are you so concerned with my disciple? Speak truthfully, and you can live. Otherwise, hmph!"

What does this mean?

Ye Luo blinked in puzzlement from the side, feeling somewhat baffled.

The person no longer spoke or wore a smile, yet said nothing.

Of course, he knew who Elder Jin was; otherwise, why would he come here deliberately to find Elder Jin?

Coming here wasn’t on the orders of that returnee, it was because the returnee was about to leave, and he wanted to seize this chance for profit.

Elder Jin’s small shop sold law puppets, but despite living here for decades, Elder Jin had rarely shown any martial prowess, leading this person to believe Elder Jin was unremarkable. But once Elder Jin acted, he realized Elder Jin was indeed formidable!

Interested in Ye Luo?

That’s because it was the returnee’s task for him. To be precise, among the tasks given by the returnee to everyone, the most crucial one is to find Ye Luo!

The returnee handed out a portrait to each person, explaining that anyone who could find Ye Luo would be directly made an Elder of Tianzong!

As for the identity of the returnee?

Remarkably, he turned out to be a disciple of the Heavenly Palace who entered the Star Palace three thousand years ago!

This person, even higher ranked than the current Sect Master of Tianzong, was surprisingly the junior brother of Tianzong’s Senior Sect Master!

With such high status and terrifying strength, upon his return, he immediately became the Grand Elder of Tianzong, wielding limitless power!

However, he didn’t stay in Tianzong, nor did he involve himself in Tianzong’s affairs. Instead, he focused on his own matters under the mountain, like searching for Ye Luo!

This person originally didn’t want to reveal this matter, after all, if he could bring the information back, he could become an Elder of Tianzong, akin to reaching the sky in a single bound.

But how could Elder Jin’s methods be so easily brushed off?

Though Elder Jin is only at the Third Rank of the Earth Martial Realm, not considered too advanced, the key is that Elder Jin can carve law puppets, indicative of his formidable techniques!

At this moment, the gravity law continuously applied pressure, constantly squeezing the person!

Initially, he wanted to resist, but as the gravity intensified, he finally gave in.

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk, just spare my life, senior. It was the returnee, he gave me a portrait and instructed me to find the person in it, and that person is him!"

The person he pointed at was indeed Ye Luo.

Ye Luo looked at him strangely, "Me? Who’s looking for me? And who is this returnee?"

Ye Luo was still in the dark about the returnee, so he was rather confused at this moment.

But upon hearing this, Elder Jin’s heart was stirred.

Since returning from the Star Palace, Ye Luo had been in seclusion, but his terrifying cultivation speed was enough to puzzle Elder Jin immensely.

However, since Ye Luo’s fast cultivation was advantageous to Elder Jin, he never inquired too much.

Until today, with the appearance of this person, Elder Jin finally realized something unusual!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Elder Jin exerted force and directly killed the person, then turned to Ye Luo and said, "Quick, pack up and leave here immediately!"

"Master, what’s going on? Why do I have to leave all of a sudden?"

Ye Luo was bewildered at this time because he had no idea what had happened.

"The returnee he mentioned is like you, one of those who’ve emerged from the Star Palace. Each of these people is incredibly powerful and eccentric. I don’t know whom you offended in the Star Palace, but now, for your safety, you must leave!"

"Offended someone? That’s impossible! I never even encountered anyone in the Star Palace; how could I have offended anyone? Could they have mistaken me for someone else?"

Indeed, Ye Luo never encountered anyone in the Star Palace! Only Ye Luo knew its secrets, suggesting perhaps they had just made the wrong identification.

Although Ye Luo also felt it was unlikely that such a coincidence could occur, he couldn’t find any other reason.

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s response, Elder Jin was also at a loss momentarily.

"Never mind, continue your seclusion. I will investigate on your behalf and then decide."

After pondering for a moment, Elder Jin spoke to Ye Luo.

After finishing, he closed the convenience store, casually ignited a flame to burn the body, and then headed out.

"Stay home, don’t leave before I return, and don’t open the door for anyone!"

Elder Jin said solemnly.

Ye Luo knew Elder Jin was going to verify what that person said, so he nodded and returned to the woodhouse, thinking no one would come to trouble him anyway.

Ye Luo nodded. He was now filled with doubts, not believing he had offended anyone in the Star Palace, as he hadn’t even met someone.

Then why would this returnee target him?

Could it be enemies from Ye Luo’s past, now returning from the Star Palace?

That was even more impossible!

With doubts in mind, Ye Luo returned to the woodhouse, preparing to break through to the Earth Martial Realm in one go.

Ye Luo noticed that his cultivation speed was progressing rapidly and without hindrance, although he didn’t know why, he also wouldn’t miss such an opportunity!

The Earth Martial Realm had constrained Ye Luo since arriving in the Sixth Region!

Yet when the bottleneck broke through, it was without any disturbance, occurring naturally as flowing water, just like that.

Though puzzled, Ye Luo knew greater strength was undoubtedly beneficial.

While Ye Luo was breaking through, Elder Jin returned.

"Kid, quickly pack and leave here! Find a sparsely populated place, and do not come out until you have strength!"

"This is my lifetime’s experience in carving, which I now pass on to you. From now on, you’ll need to learn on your own!"

Once Elder Jin returned, he spoke urgently to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was confused.

"Master, what’s going on? Why do I have to leave home?"

Yes, Ye Luo truly couldn’t comprehend what news Elder Jin had heard outside that made him so agitated.

"Oh, lad, no more words, leave quickly, before they discover you, go now!"
