Chapter 2843: Chapter 2844: A Hero in His Twilight

Qin Se had come to Ye Luo’s side.

"I feel that this woman has unusual feelings for you. With a little effort, you could easily win her over!"

Ye Luo was taken aback, then he shook his head with a painful smile, "She is a Princess, and we are eventually going to leave this Demon Realm, how could there be any interaction!"

Qin Se shook her head, "Though the three thousand worlds seem vast, not to mention the existence of the Transmission Array, once your cultivation reaches a certain level, these three thousand worlds are mere fields to you! You can go wherever you desire!"

Ye Luo naturally understood her meaning, but cultivating to that realm requires not only talent but also Great Fortune and great opportunities.

"Let’s not talk about these meaningless things; rather, we should focus on arranging the Royal Teacher Mansion. The head steward’s vision isn’t reassuring; it’s better for you to handle it!"

"Humph!"

For some reason, she snorted coldly before walking out.

Ye Luo came to the window just then, and from this vantage point, he could see the shadows bustling about Huainan King’s Mansion, full of noise.

But Ye Luo narrowed his eyes as he vaguely sensed a conspiracy quietly approaching, targeting not only him but also Nameless, and even King of Huainan.

It seems many big characters have learned about King of Huainan’s imminent departure, and when the wall collapses, everyone pushes, countless people will surely come to see him off!

How will this seasoned hero, the local Emperor ruling the third force, end his days?

As he pondered over this, Nameless walked in slowly.

"Ye Luo, what’s going on? They’re causing a ruckus in the Royal Mansion, but why are we getting involved?" Nameless said helplessly.

Ye Luo gave him an annoyed look, "You, the Crown Prince, haven’t returned to your own residence, when many people already know, so naturally they will come here to pay respects. Shouldn’t I make arrangements?"

"So troublesome? Should I go cultivate in seclusion or something?" Nameless asked, eyes wide open.

"If you’re looking to die, you can do that!" Ye Luo replied coldly.

Nameless chuckled awkwardly, understanding what Ye Luo meant by that.

The struggle for the throne brings many uncertainties, even if King of Huainan wants to push Nameless onto the throne. However, now King of Huainan’s life is near its end, he’s no longer the fierce hero of the third force.

Should Nameless fail to inherit the throne, the new king wouldn’t spare him.

And Ye Luo would also face endless pursuit.

Ye Luo’s greatest worry is naturally how much longer King of Huainan has.

Or should he see King of Huainan before something unexpected happens at the banquet, making it too late?

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared before the two.

It was Shadow!

"Your Highness, Royal Teacher!"

Shadow rasped as he saluted the two.

Knowing that he was an absolute confidant of the King of Huainan, they hurriedly returned the salute.

"The Prince is about to receive guests, and before that, he especially invites the Royal Teacher to meet him!"

Ye Luo’s heart moved, understanding that the King of Huainan recognizes the significance of this birthday banquet, but why did he summon Ye Luo?

Has he guessed it all?

Ye Luo also wished to see him, so he immediately agreed.

After all, once King of Huainan starts receiving guests, he won’t have time to see Ye Luo again.

This time entering the space was much easier; King of Huainan had removed many protective forces. He used to say he wanted to be seen as he truly is; perhaps now, those threats or troubles don’t hold importance but become mere scenery in his final moments.

"Ye Luo, you came!" King of Huainan said in a somewhat fatigued tone, his eyes still sharp as a falcon’s.

"Salutations, Prince!"

Ye Luo quickly saluted.

"Enough, I know you dislike these formalities most, so from now on, these courtesies are removed!" King of Huainan said with a slight wave.

Ye Luo only maintained silence about this.

"These days, I’ve faced over ten assassination attempts almost every day—this feeling is quite something!" King of Huainan suddenly said coldly, "If given a few more years, I’d certainly clash with that Assassin Alliance, but it’s all vain hopes!"

At this point, Ye Luo didn’t know what to say, or felt it best not to respond.

"This time, I summoned you to discuss arrangements for my affairs!" King of Huainan sighed.

As soon as those words left his mouth, the shadowy old Guard’s figure flickered, disappearing as the entire space buzzed, indicating that defensive measures were reengaged.

This means no outsiders could possibly know the conversation between the two!

Previously, Ye Luo vaguely sensed some obscure presence lurking, evidently manipulations by others, but King of Huainan naturally chose to ignore them.

Now, those presences have completely vanished.

But Ye Luo felt chills as these royal matters are ticking time bombs upon discovery! Given a choice, he preferred not to know.

Yet evidently, he had no choice in its knowledge.

"You and I both understand Nameless’s temperament, unsuitable for the throne. However, the arrow is on the bowstring; if I appoint another Crown Prince, Nameless and many others will have no luck for survival! And I promised Die Er that this world is my legacy to Nameless, so I must fulfill it!"

Ye Luo suddenly remembered the saying: pushing a duck onto the perch. Nameless wasn’t entirely hopeless, just unwilling to live that sort of life.

"And this birthday banquet is crucial for me and even more so for Nameless and you! If it’s successful, Nameless’s ascension is hopeful, but if it fails, it won’t just be your calamity, even I might not survive!"

Um? Ye Luo looked up at King of Huainan; removing all power, King of Huainan’s cultivation is terrifying enough to obliterate even the Martial Emperor Realm. Who could kill him?

Even if the Assassin Alliance has strong foundations, King of Huainan isn’t battling alone, and this Royal City is his turf, advantageous to him.

"I understand your thoughts, but!" Upon finishing this, he released his aura.

Martial King Realm? Ye Luo looked astonished at King of Huainan.

His aura now was indeed unlike before! Now, forget about those peerless masters, even Ye Luo himself could kill him with just a finger.

"I’ve lasted long enough; that curse has erupted long ago, merely suppressed by me. But now, it’s reached its limit, so my time is running short! And those old things obviously realized this point, hence this birthday banquet!"

King of Huainan finally sighed, displaying the look of a hero faltering with age.
