"It’s still too early to say thanks. They’re catching up, we need to leave quickly!" Ye Luo’s expression changed.

Immediately, the Skysoar Beast enveloped the three of them, and in the next moment, they disappeared from the spot!

After a few days of rest, the Skysoar Beast had fully recovered. Its speed was unmatched, even those old ancestors couldn’t catch up!

Even the mechas would be left far behind by it.

However, there’s one thing: it consumes a terrifying amount of spiritual power when flying. Just relying on its own spiritual power is not enough, so Ye Luo has to supply it with spiritual power resources!

This made Ye Luo feel helpless. It seems like he has another big eater to feed!

In just a few blinks, the Skysoar Beast had already left the strong pursuers far behind.

Moreover, they had moved far away from Demon Beast Ridge. Here, the violent power of laws dominated, and the sky turned dark as night.

"It’s safe here. Those people won’t catch up for a while, and even if they do, I think you’ll have a way to deal with them, right?" Ye Luo said to Wind Cloud Xiner.

After all, she is the Sect Master of Wind Cloud Sect. As long as she’s not surrounded, she should have no problem escaping.

Indeed, she nodded, "So, can I leave now?"

Ye Luo nodded, "You can go!"

"Thank you so much, I’m really leaving now!" She hesitated.

She thought to herself, why didn’t they ask for any conditions and just let her go?

And those eyes were so familiar, where had she seen them before?

"What is it? If you’re so beautiful, if you agree to be my Dao Companion, then stay," Ye Luo suddenly laughed, his eyes scanning her.

One must admit, Wind Cloud Xiner indeed looked like a fairy.

Hearing this, Wind Cloud Xiner blushed, "I will repay the great kindness of you benefactors someday, or you can use this jade pendant to find me directly at Wind Cloud Sect!"

Having said that, she fled, looking as if she was escaping.

"Hmph!"

Seeing her back, Nuonuo snorted softly.

"Master, that seductress is cunning, you must be on guard against her!"

Ye Luo was taken aback, then laughed.

"What are you thinking? I was just joking with her!"

Afterward, the group, worried about being discovered by the strong pursuers, rushed further. At night, they set up camp and rested well.

But after daybreak, Ye Luo became hesitant.

Should he go to Demon Beast Ridge, or head to those sects?

After some careful thinking, he realized Demon Beast Ridge was too dangerous and meaningless. If he wanted to find the Plane Origin Liquid, he could only focus on those sects.

It seemed those sects must have suffered great losses, and they surely needed to recruit new disciples, given that cultivators were rare in the South Territory, with each sect constantly recruiting disciples!

Of course, there were standards, and the minimum requirement was one’s background.

This was a sensitive point for the South Territory’s powers. Generally speaking, if one was from the bandits, other forces would never let them into their sects.

But this time, since every sect had losses, the standards would undoubtedly be lowered significantly, offering Ye Luo an opportunity.

However, Nuonuo and the Skysoar Beast couldn’t accompany him to the sects!

Not to mention that if the Skysoar Beast appeared, it would immediately cause a frenzy.

Though it wasn’t as powerful as ancient spirit beasts like the Fire Turkey, in the South Territory, you absolutely couldn’t find a spirit beast faster than it.

Thus, allowing them to enter the Divine Kingdom was no problem since the base construction was relatively complete, and even living beings entering wouldn’t be an issue.

But for Nuonuo, it wasn’t suitable, as the Divine Kingdom was not yet suitable for cultivation. How long Ye Luo would be gone was unknown, and she couldn’t stay in the Divine Kingdom the whole time!

Therefore, Ye Luo made arrangements for her to travel with the Skysoar Beast out of the South Territory and into the inland, which was much safer than the South Territory.

"Master, I’m not going!"

Nuonuo replied firmly and decisively.

"I’m your master, you must listen to me!"

"I just won’t go!"

Ye Luo was infuriated, his eyes widened. Did this still look like a master-disciple relationship?

"I want to go to the sect with you, whichever sect you go to, I’ll go too. In any case, I want to see you every day!"

Hearing this, Ye Luo was dumbfounded, realizing he couldn’t do anything to change his disciple’s mind!

But what she suggested could be a solution!

So, he put the Skysoar Beast into the Divine Kingdom, allowing it to get closer to the Fire Turkey.

Then, Ye Luo, with Nuonuo, embarked on the journey to the South Territory sects.

Most sects in the South Territory were situated around Mt. Sumeru! And Mt. Sumeru was a Holy Land for cultivation established by generations of powerful cultivators in the South Territory!

Of course, this so-called Holy Land was only relative to the South Territory; compared to the barren inland, it was a bit better.

But in the South Territory, if freed from environmental disturbances, it was indeed a Holy Land!

On Mt. Sumeru, the violent power of laws was isolated.

The slow cultivation progress of South Territory cultivators was due to resource scarcity and the need to constantly use mana to resist the violent power of laws, which naturally affected cultivation speed.

Thus, except for the bandits, most cultivators in the South Territory gathered around this sacred mountain.

And atop this sacred mountain was the territory of those Great Sects.

Only sects with absolute power in the South Territory could ascend Mt. Sumeru.

Moreover, every ten years, there was a re-election to decide which power could enter Mt. Sumeru, and correspondingly, some powers would be eliminated.

Furthermore, the disciple selection requirements of sects on Mt. Sumeru were higher.

These kinds of sects were also Ye Luo’s target, after all, the Plane Origin Liquid was the supreme treasure of the South Territory, even a legend, possibly only recorded by long-established Great Sects.

Following the directions on the beast-skin map, they finally arrived at the foot of Mt. Sumeru two days later!

The scene at the foot of the mountain was entirely different!

Sounds of hawking were unending, in front were neat streets, inns and taverns were all available.

It looked like a nascent inland town!

This wasn’t hard to understand; at the foot of Mt. Sumeru, the power of laws was mostly concealed, and anyone with some bodily training technique could ignore the environmental threats.

Additionally, the Great Sects and major powers had daily life needs, so this place gradually developed into a town.

Ye Luo noticed that the service personnel here were either ordinary people or very low-level cultivators, and there was a joint defense team composed of various powers specifically responsible for the entire town’s safety at the city gate.

As Ye Luo and Nuonuo approached, a guard from the joint defense team stopped them.

"Who are you? Sumeru City forbids free entry of cultivators, please show your identification!"

Ye Luo was taken aback, surprised at the strict guards here.
