Isn’t it said that this is an outer world ruins that numerous factions are very concerned about?

Even the Cloud Clan, which has always stayed out of other matters, has arrived!

How could there be no powerful figures here?

However, after a moment, Ye Luo figured it out. Perhaps this is a compromise among the various factions!

You must understand, the Star Palace is a prehistoric relic. Even though it has now lost all its energy and is just a ruin, entering it is not such a simple task.

These people gathered here should be figuring out how to break the method of entering the Earth Martial Realm!

As for the powerful figures of the various factions, they are well aware that if they rashly move forward, it might trigger unnecessary troubles or even war.

Since the outer world ruins have not been opened for the time being, these powerful figures naturally hold back from entering.

For Ye Luo, this is undoubtedly a good thing. After all, with Ye Luo’s abilities, he might barely handle a Third Rank Earth Martial Realm at best, but when it comes to the Fourth Rank, he stands no chance, let alone stronger ones?

It is, after all, an ancient ruin. Ye Luo believes there would certainly be some unique treasures. During his previous visit, his actions were restricted, and he was immediately driven out after being transformed, so he had no time to observe much.

But now, the opportunity has come.

Generally speaking, the habit in the Martial Realm is to first send low-level disciples to investigate when new ruins or secret realms are discovered. This approach is naturally to first probe whether there are dangers within the ruins.

And those who enter first must surely take on great risks.

However, Ye Luo knows there aren’t too many threats in this Star Palace, so his initial plan is to blend in with the first so-called cannon fodder group to enter the ruins and see if there’s anything to discover.

Of course, Ye Luo is bold yet not foolish.

Whether it’s about entering arrogantly or the subsequent arrangements, in truth, Ye Luo has thought everything through thoroughly!

Currently, Dark Town is occupied by various factions, including people from Tianzong, but Ye Luo is not so foolish as to approach the people of Tianzong!

After all, the moment he uses his token, his identity would be immediately exposed, and if there are spies from the returnees here, Ye Luo might die without knowing how!

There are basically no ordinary people in town now, only people from various factions.

As for the original residents, they’ve long been relocated!

Disobedient? That only leads to a dead end!

But these factions are not solely from Tianzong Nation, they include many large factions from other places too. After all, this outer world ruin is not something Tianzong Nation can monopolize!

Even if Tianzong Nation, as the host, might gain some convenience, ultimately, they still have to share some benefits!

As such, the people in town currently do not recognize each other!

Roughly, the entire Dark Town and the surrounding areas responsible for the blockade can be divided into four factions.

To the east of Dark Town are Tianzong and several other powerful factions within Tianzong Nation.

When Ye Luo arrived at Dark Town, he happened to encounter an affiliated force of Tianzong on patrol. Otherwise, if it were another three factions, his token might not even earn him credibility. Obviously, this timing was deliberately chosen by Ye Luo after observing.

To the west are people of the Baiyou Family, a very pure force with no other affiliated forces, comprised entirely of disciples from the Baiyou Family itself.

The south is the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The proximity of Heavenly Sword Sect to Tianzong and their not-so-friendly relations, compounded by Heavenly Sword Sect being slightly stronger, led to them intervening with the emergence of the outer world ruins, forcing Tianzong to concede despite their reluctance.

Refusal could trigger a war between the two sects, which, for uncertain ruins, is a risk Tianzong would rather avoid.

To the north, stationed are people from the Saint Martial Alliance, a collective of dozens of factions, potentially the strongest yet loosest among the four forces!

Moreover, the Saint Martial Alliance doesn’t get along with the Baiyou Family!

These, Ye Luo has already investigated.

Ye Luo lingered outside Dark Town for three full days to gather information about the place.

One could say, although these four factions value the outer world ruins greatly, their management is essentially fragmented.

Without adequate preparation, Ye Luo wouldn’t dare tread these chaotic waters. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

It’s precisely due to observing the chaos and contradictions among the four factions that Ye Luo dared to come here!

To gain more, sometimes it’s not just about brute force; necessary strategies are very important too.

Ye Luo doesn’t belong to any single faction, so he naturally can’t venture into any particular territory. Fortunately, with the four factions gathered and lacking true unity, inevitably, blank areas emerge!

And that, is the central region!

The central region, originally the busiest part of Dark Town, has now turned into a market. Each faction restrains its disciples to avoid trouble as everything focuses on the outer world ruins.

However, since Ye Luo is here, he’s naturally intent on making these waters turbulent!

Water too clear has no fish; if he doesn’t stir the waters, how will Ye Luo fish in troubled waters?

Ye Luo’s plan is incredibly audacious!

So audacious that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare think about it!

Just based on himself! A mere First-Order Earth Martial Realm cultivation, yet eyeing the four factions.

Even if Ye Luo were to stand out now and tell those people, no one would believe it, they’d just think Ye Luo is a fool!

Of course, the plan is one thing, executing it is all about playing it by ear!

If there’s no opportunity, perhaps Ye Luo would simply have to give up!

Ye Luo arrived at the central region because, naturally, that’s the only place he could go.

However, to Ye Luo’s surprise, the central region had turned into a trading market.

But thinking about it, it seems natural; now those entering Dark Town are merely the lower-level personnel of the four powers.

The grudges between major factions are often not the grudges of lesser people; more so, they come from the interests of the powerful.

Where there are people, there are interests. The four factions have their own territories, and naturally, they have their own specialties.

These lower-level disciples usually wouldn’t dare violate the orders of their sects or clans, but now is a time of cooperation, so conducting some exchanges to gain some benefits isn’t considered against the rules.

With the tacit approval of the higher-ups, unexpectedly, a market formed in Dark Town!

"Mask!"

As Ye Luo approached the market, unexpectedly, two masked individuals at the entrance handed him a mask.

This mask was of ordinary material, with rough craftsmanship, clearly made hastily.
