Chapter 2539: Chapter 2540: Revisiting Old Haunts

Princess Xiu may appear gentle and kind on the surface, but in reality, she is quite decisive and even somewhat domineering.

When she makes a decision, it’s hard for others to oppose her, so after a brief attempt to dissuade her, they follow along.

"Alright, let me go with you. After all, if those old folks trouble you, I can protect you," the Vice Clan Leader said sternly.

Clearly, he did not have high hopes for Princess Xiu’s expedition.

"No need for that, more people isn’t necessarily better. It’s enough for me to go with Ye Luo!" Princess Xiu said with a smile.

Ye Luo? Everyone’s gaze shifted to Ye Luo.

In fact, Ye Luo was even more astonished than they were; this wasn’t a good task. After all, the Moonwater Tribe is full of hidden talents. Who can say for sure that there aren’t other ancient ones in the tribe? It’s hard to believe that the three ancestors alone could uphold the face of the tribe after existing for so many years.

So, why is Princess Xiu dragging him along? Isn’t this going to get him killed?

Perhaps the Moonwater Tribe might spare Princess Xiu for the sake of the Queen, but when it comes to Ye Luo, they wouldn’t show any kindness.

"Young Master Ye, I won’t let you go in vain this time. I’ll give you a bottle of Bodhi liquid. You should know the effect of this item better than I do!"

Before Ye Luo could object, Princess Xiu sent a message over.

Ye Luo immediately shut his mouth. His current divine sense was just a step away from achieving the Divine Consciousness Gold Body. If he had another bottle of Bodhi liquid, he could immediately achieve the Gold Body, and his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly. Even facing the siege from the three ancestors, he could break through!

He sighed; this Princess Xiu really hit his weak spot. However, this risk was worth taking!

"Rest assured, everyone. I vow to protect Princess Xiu with my life!" Ye Luo said seriously.

Such promises don’t cost anything and don’t really need to be kept; it’s all about playing with people’s hearts. Ye Luo was no less skilled than Princess Xiu.

Yet Ye Luo’s words didn’t ease Third Master’s concerns, especially the Vice Clan Leader, who had a look of hesitation on his face. Clearly, the Moonwater Tribe wasn’t as simple as Ye Luo understood.

Since Qingxiu Peak and the Moonwater Tribe are one, the formation is directly connected to the tribe’s protective Great Array. Between the tribe and Qingxiu Peak, there is a secret passage. The cleverness of this passage lies in that if Qingxiu Peak doesn’t open the passage door, the Moonwater Tribe cannot enter Qingxiu Peak. Yet cultivators from Qingxiu Peak can easily enter the Moonwater Tribe!

Clearly, this domineering passage was designed by the Queen.

Thus, Princess Xiu and Ye Luo easily reached the domain of the Moonwater Tribe.

In recent years, the Moonwater Tribe has seen a significant decrease in strength, losing many disciples and members. Especially the disappearance of the totem recently has led the tribe to adopt a more defensive strategy.

As a result, there isn’t even a guard around the passage; their focus has shifted to the vicinity of the Moonwater Palace.

After all, the Moonwater Palace is the core of the Moonwater Tribe, where the royal family and high-level members reside. As long as it remains unthreatened, the rest of the tribe’s domain won’t be concerning.

"Why did you choose me?" Ye Luo couldn’t help but ask when there were only the two of them.

By rights, the Vice Clan Leader would have been the best choice. While Ye Luo’s strength is no less than the Vice Clan Leader’s, the latter knows much more about the Moonwater Tribe and has lived longer than Ye Luo, so his survival skills can’t be compared to Ye Luo’s.

"Because you’re formidable!" Princess Xiu laughed lightly, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

"That reason doesn’t hold water with me. It’s clearly just to appease me!" Ye Luo replied.

At this point, the two must be sincere; without trust, it would be hard to escape from the Moonwater Tribe.

Princess Xiu seemed to realize this, her expression gradually turned serious.

"I’m telling the truth; I’m aware of your strength, which isn’t less than Uncle Five’s, and you have even more advantageous traits that you haven’t discovered yet!"

Ye Luo pondered for a moment but didn’t ask further.

"Here, take this. There’s still some time; after refining it, it should be more beneficial to our task!" She suddenly took out a delicate little bottle.

As soon as this bottle was taken out, Ye Luo sensed a cool sensation.

It’s Bodhi liquid! This is a complete treasure, and Princess Xiu is willing to give it to him; this woman truly has great ambitions, far surpassing the Ice Princess and Shui Yuehan.

Without hesitation, Ye Luo began refining the Bodhi liquid. This liquid primarily has a significant effect on divine sense; other areas are not so evidently impacted.

Moreover, the absorption of the Bodhi liquid is quite rapid.

But Qingxiu Peak was swaying nearby, and the formation was on the verge of being breached; even a few hours weren’t available for Ye Luo.

"Forget it, I’ve refined part of it, let’s proceed with the main task!" Ye Luo sighed.

He couldn’t let Qingxiu Peak be destroyed because of him.

Luckily, this place was very close to the Moonwater Palace; soon, the two appeared outside the palace.

For both, there was a sense of revisiting an old place, and naturally, Princess Xiu felt particularly emotional.

However, dozens of guards were already surrounding them.

And looking at the city walls, countless guards had already turned their attention to the two of them.

Clearly, the Moonwater Tribe had entered a state of alert.

"Bold! Who dares approach the Moonwater Palace?" The guard leader shouted in anger.

His cultivation was quite impressive, perhaps not much weaker than Third Master; he was at least at the Grand Elder level within the Moonwater Tribe.

"Humph, are you blind? Don’t you recognize me?" Princess Xiu snorted coldly, her aura instantly spreading out, her hair fluttering in the wind.

Ye Luo was startled to realize her strength had reached an unimaginable level, originally when she first woke, she didn’t even have the strength to walk, hence Ye Luo hadn’t paid attention to her capabilities.

But now, her power surpassed Ye Luo’s, something he hadn’t anticipated. Clearly, the skill of rebirth was indeed incredible.

"You are... Princess Xiu! You are Princess Xiu!" The leader exclaimed in surprise.

And the dozens of guards who followed were stunned and hesitated.

After all, Princess Xiu is the future Clan Leader of the Moonwater Tribe, and these people were immediately at a loss.
