Chapter 3535: Rumors spread, the lie becomes unsustainable, the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty returns

Yuan King City has recently been in the spotlight throughout the Nether Luo Ancient Realm.

It had gained the favor of a Cloud Clan guest elder.

Even the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty, which was quite formidable in the Nether Luo Ancient Realm,

had hit a wall at Yuan King City and could only leave in defeat.

This undoubtedly caused Yuan King City's influence to soar.

After all, as long as one is associated with the Cloud Clan, one's reputation is bound to grow.

Conversely, the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty had lost face, and was secretly mocked by various factions.

During this period of time,

Luo Ming enjoyed treatment akin to an Emperor Emeritus within Yuan King City.

If he did not have this status as a Cloud Clan guest elder,

even with his status as a Giant Emperor,

while he could still be valued and treated well upon joining Yuan King City,

the Yuan King City Lord would never have treated him with such cordiality and warmth.

Yuan Ying'er also seemed to have a very special attitude toward Luo Ming.

During the banquet, she poured wine for Luo Ming.

Occasionally, she would also timidly ask Luo Ming some questions regarding cultivation.

The Yuan King City Lord was happy to see this and wanted to play matchmaker.

Luo Ming was also deeply moved.

He now somewhat understood why Yun Huaxin would throw herself at Jun Jun Xiaoyao.

He had only brandished the status of a Cloud Clan guest elder,

and Yuan Ying'er had already suppressed her reserve to take the initiative in showing favor.

And with Jun Jun Xiaoyao's status and position,

it was not hard to understand why a heavenly maiden like Yun Huaxin would want to throw herself at him.

Of course, Luo Ming's primary goal was still the opportunity within the Burial Domain.

He was also preparing to indicate to the Yuan King City Lord that it was time to set off for the Burial Domain.

However, during this time,

some rumors suddenly spread in the outside world.

"Have you heard? That Cloud Clan guest elder in Yuan King City seems to be a knock-off."

"What knock-off? I heard he was indeed a Cloud Clan guest elder before, but was later expelled."

"Is this true, or is it just a rumor spread by the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty?"

"That's impossible, right? Even if the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty is bold, they wouldn't dare provoke a real Cloud Clan guest elder; that would lead to big trouble."

"Tsk tsk, if it's really fake, then it's exciting—he's managed to fool both the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty and Yuan King City at once..."

In an instant, these kinds of messages spread like a hurricane.

Because the Yuan King City affair had already caused a stir in the Nether Luo Ancient Realm,

now, right at the peak of the hype, such a massive scandal exploded,

naturally sparking countless discussions.

Over at Yuan King City,

when Luo Ming learned of this, his expression froze instantly.

How could this be?

According to his plan, even if his lie were exposed in the future,

he would have long since entered the Burial Domain, found the opportunity, and fled far away.

How could anyone in a place like the Nether Luo Ancient Realm know that he had been expelled from the Cloud Clan?

His first thought was whether some Cloud Clan members had come here.

Previously, he had vaguely heard that some geniuses from the Hall of Heroes had come here.

However, if it were Cloud Clan members, or a figure like Jun Jun Xiaoyao appearing, it should have caused a massive sensation.

He would definitely have known the news.

But he had never heard any news of Cloud Clan members or Jun Jun Xiaoyao appearing.

Just as Luo Ming's expression was shifting,

the Yuan King City Lord found him, his face carrying a look of gloom.

Luo Ming's heart skipped a beat.

The Yuan King City Lord was a peak-level Emperor.

Although Luo Ming was a Star Lord, he couldn't escape from a peak-level Emperor without paying a heavy price.

Just as his eyes were shifting and the power of laws was surging within him,

the Yuan King City Lord said,

"Daoist Luo Ming, that Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty is truly hateful for spreading such rumors."

"This is not only a slander against you, Daoist Luo Ming, but also an offense to the Cloud Clan."

The Yuan King City Lord's words caused Luo Ming to freeze slightly.

He then replied with a cold expression, "Indeed, the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty spreading such rumors is truly laughable."

"I think you should give the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty a taste of their own medicine, Daoist Luo Ming, otherwise they won't know how to show respect," the Yuan King City Lord said.

Clearly, the Yuan King City Lord's idea was:

If he could get Luo Ming to target the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty, that would be for the best.

If the conflict escalated and the Cloud Clan sent someone to personally wipe out the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty, that would be even better.

Then Yuan King City could sleep soundly without worrying about the threat from the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty.

Luo Ming shook his head slightly: "That kind of faction is just a bunch of clowns; the Cloud Clan disdains to take action."

"Let's prepare to enter the Burial Domain first. If they provoke us again, it won't be too late to teach them a lesson."

Hearing Luo Ming's words, the Yuan King City Lord felt a trace of disappointment, but he didn't say much more.

He didn't want to offend Luo Ming.

Seeing the Yuan King City Lord leave,

Luo Ming frowned.

He had to enter the Burial Domain as quickly as possible, find the opportunity, and then leave the Nether Luo Ancient Realm.

This lie was becoming unsustainable.

However, just as he wanted to urge the Yuan King City Lord and the others to enter the Burial Domain quickly,

the next day,

news arrived.

The Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty's warships had descended upon the Yuan Domain once again.

And this time, there were even more of them.

When the Yuan King City Lord learned of this, he remained calm and unbothered.

He felt that the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty was just bluffing.

Could it be that just because the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty slandered Luo Ming for not being a Cloud Clan guest elder,

he really wasn't one?

The Yuan King City Lord found it ridiculous.

However, when Luo Ming learned of this news, his heart sank.

He couldn't leave now.

If he let the Yuan King City Lord know, the lie would be exposed even faster.

Now, Luo Ming could only pray that he could continue to bluff his way through.

Outside Yuan King City,

in the void, over a dozen ancient warships traversed the sky.

On them stood numerous Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty experts.

Not only was the Xuan Ghost Marquis from last time present, but another Marquis, the Li Ghost Marquis, had also come.

Furthermore, besides the Second Prince,

the Demon Luo Crown Prince had also come in person.

This time, the Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty had mobilized quite a significant force.

Over at Yuan King City,

the Yuan King City Lord, Luo Ming, a group of cultivators, and Yuan Ying'er and the others had all appeared.

Further away, even more factions were watching the show and eating melons.

After all, such conflicts were rare.

Not to mention that it involved the legendary Cloud Clan.

"Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty, what is the meaning of this?"

The Yuan King City Lord said in a flat voice.

"Heh, we just heard some rumors recently and felt that this news was too absurd."

"So we came specifically to verify it with Daoist Luo Ming. You also think this matter is absurd, right, Daoist Luo Ming?"

The Xuan Ghost Marquis narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Ming.

The Demon Luo Imperial Dynasty wasn't stupid; they didn't start a fight with Luo Ming right away.

They had been quite surprised when they first heard the news.

Could they have really been played?

But they didn't know where the news came from.

And they couldn't confirm whether it was true or false.

What if it was fake news?

Wouldn't they have completely offended a Cloud Clan guest elder?

So this time, they came to test the waters.

If the news was true,

then this matter would not be easily resolved.
