In the end, under the princess’s plea, the Island Master allowed them to temporarily stay here for a period of time, but the duration couldn’t exceed a month.

Of course, there was one thing that still satisfied them, which was that the Island Master promised to personally oversee the formation to teleport them back to the Divine Healer Valley.

However, Ye Luo was not in a hurry to return now.

Because his body had developed a problem! Not just his, but also the Saintess’s.

Last time, it was just him and the Saintess who went in to treat the Ancestor, but both had something special, which was their enormously powerful divine souls.

Not to mention Ye Luo, the Saintess herself had an inheritance within her, with a frighteningly powerful divine soul power. If it truly erupted, it would be several times stronger than Ye Luo’s abilities.

And precisely because of this, Ye Luo didn’t worry about her! He even didn’t feel anything peculiar himself.

But once they settled down, he realized something was wrong.

It was as if something had suddenly appeared inside his body! This feeling was strange, like another divine soul was incubating, and this divine soul could influence his physical body and thoughts!

If it was just his physical body, he wouldn’t be too alarmed, but affecting his thoughts, that’s serious!

You need to know, this was just when that divine soul had just started incubating. If it continued, would it not develop into his physical soul!

Generally speaking, there’s no essential difference between a divine soul and a soul, except when a divine soul is powerful enough to dominate a person’s physical body and thoughts, it transforms into a soul!

How terrifying a thing that is, it’s even scarier than death!

If Ye Luo died, he would just disappear from this world, but now it’s different. Once that soul took over, everything in his Divine Kingdom, his family, his women, everything would become that soul’s!

Just the thought of it sent chills down his spine.

Turning around, he saw the Saintess’s face had turned pale. It was evident her situation was the same as Ye Luo’s!

"It’s that damned parasite!" Ye Luo muttered through clenched teeth.

"Indeed, at the time it felt like nothing, just a bit nauseous, but now it seems that monster’s real tactic wasn’t to steal our divine soul power, but to control others! I think, over the years, the number of people it’s controlled isn’t few!" the Saintess said bitterly.

This Ancestor, under the guise of healing, wandered the Sixth Region seeking medical aid, but who would have thought this was all a trap!

This is even more terrifying than the puppet arts.

"No, I need to find the princess!" Ye Luo suddenly stood up.

He treated the princess out of goodwill, but she? She thrust Ye Luo into the pit of fire.

What is repaying kindness with enmity? What is a heart like a serpent and scorpion?

"Ye Luo, calm down. After all, this is Divine Spirit Island. Offending the princess won’t benefit us. The priority is to return to Divine Healer Valley quickly. Once back, there might be a way to solve this issue!" The Saintess hurriedly pulled him back. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ye Luo understood the problem. Being on the princess’s turf, and with many experts in the back mountain.

Ye Luo was smart and scheming, but it didn’t mean he had no temper! Initially, he had a good impression of the princess; otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated her!

But the princess’s actions equated to deception, which was the reason for his anger!

Without questioning it, he felt unsettled. If it came to a confrontation, would he certainly die here? That wasn’t necessarily the case.

"Returning is certainly an option, but to do so in such confusion, can you guarantee that this damned thing can be expelled from our bodies? What exactly is this thing? We don’t understand it at all. Who knows when it might erupt! If it explodes immediately, can you imagine the consequences?" Ye Luo said coldly.

The Saintess’s face changed drastically. She understood Ye Luo’s meaning.

Perhaps, it was all manipulable, letting them return conscious to their sect and then explode, stealing everything from them!

If so, staying here might be safer!

"Alright, we’re not in a hurry to leave. Let’s figure things out first. If it really erupts, it might not be a bad thing!" Ye Luo said, then walked outside.

"Indeed, an eruption here is much better than after returning!" the Saintess sighed.

Here, if they died, it was just them. But if they returned? Those consequences were unimaginable.

Ye Luo, with an imposing aura, headed to the princess’s residence.

Although the people in the back mountain didn’t seem to think highly of her, they did not neglect her, arranging a palace for her, even more luxurious than the one she previously lived in.

Of course, for cultivators, where they live doesn’t matter much, it’s just a display of status.

"Halt, who dares to trespass the princess’s residence!" Suddenly, several maids emerged, blocking Ye Luo.

These maids were not weak, evidently the princess’s guards.

However, Ye Luo was furious at this moment and didn’t care about anything else.

"Get out of my way, or don’t blame me for being rude!" he roared.

These maids were all tense. They could sense Ye Luo’s power, but as guards, their duty was to protect the princess, even against the most formidable opponent, they could not retreat a step.

"Let him in!" A quiet voice came from the hall, it was the princess’s voice.

Only then did the maids hastily retreat, and Ye Luo ignored them, striding directly inside.

Upon entering, he saw the princess trimming plants, and Ye Luo’s anger surged!

Damn, her leisure was plentiful!

But Ye Luo’s life was hanging by a thread, all thanks to her!

"Don’t you feel you owe me an explanation?" Ye Luo asked, trying to control his anger.

"I’m sorry! It’s my fault!"

"Bullshit!" Ye Luo yelled furiously, punching the plants which exploded into fragments, drifting in the hall.

Then, he turned the princess’s neck, blood-red eyes glaring!

"Tell me, what’s going on, or else, I can’t promise what I’ll do!"

"Ye Luo, knowing won’t help you, just...accept it!" the princess said with difficulty.

Ye Luo squinted his eyes, a sign of his extreme anger.

She said it wouldn’t help him? He could die at any moment, and she expected him to accept it? Truly a snake-hearted woman, considering Ye Luo had even saved her life.

"Is it? I should accept it, right? Fine, I’ll accept it, but since you caused this, I won’t let you off easy!"

Saying this, Ye Luo pressed her against the wall, his eyes showing a violent and excited glint.
