Chapter 1517: Chapter 1518: The Secret of the Yingchen Family and the Third Prince

"Release them? Did they ever consider releasing these people?"

Ye Luo casually pointed toward the young girls and the hardened bloodstains in the gladiator arena!

Because of years of ceaseless battles, even the ground of the arena bore large blackened marks—traces left by the blood of innumerable lives lost here.

That blood, hardened over time, told a grim tale.

Time and time again, fresh blood had flowed in this arena, and who knows how many lives it had taken to leave behind such thick, black crusts.

Ye Luo’s words left the young noblemen puzzled. In their eyes, the lives of these slaves were utterly worthless, their degradation into mere tools for entertainment was, to them, a privilege for the slaves. One of them instinctively muttered:

"You... You’re doing this for these filthy slaves? Being of service to us is their honor..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Ye Luo’s voice grew cold. His hand moved slightly, and instantly, several zombie puppets surged forward, grabbing the man’s limbs before pulling with violent force!

Blood sprayed everywhere; the man was dismembered on the spot! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In an instant, the remaining men turned pale with terror.

Back then, in the gladiator arena, they had laughed hysterically as these same zombie puppets tore apart innocent girls. But now, with their own lives on the line, fear consumed them completely.

"What’s the matter? You’re afraid now? Yet, did you ever consider whether those people you treated like playthings felt fear deep within their hearts?"

As Ye Luo spoke, he directed another few zombie puppets to dismember yet another young nobleman.

In the blink of an eye, two of their companions were dead, and blood splattered onto their faces!

The remaining noble heirs trembled uncontrollably!

At this moment, they finally understood what it meant to be terrified—to truly fear for their lives.

But now, understanding meant nothing. It was already too late.

Ye Luo wasn’t about to spare them; he had no intention of letting any of them walk free.

Ignoring the guards around him and disregarding their desperate pleas for mercy, Ye Luo moved decisively, slaughtering everyone except the Yingchen Family heir.

The once-arrogant young master of the Yingchen Family immediately fell to his knees, and even from a distance, Ye Luo could distinctly smell the stench emanating from him!

Clearly, the Yingchen heir had lost control of his bowels in fear!

"No... no, I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I’ll give you the Spirit Mother, I’ll give you magical treasures, I’ll give you whatever you want! Please, I beg you, spare me! Have mercy on me!"

The Yingchen Family young master was utterly shaken, pleading frantically for his life!

But his pleas for mercy only disgusted Ye Luo. If anything, they fueled his rage instead of softening his resolve.

With a mere flick of his hand, Ye Luo directed the zombie puppets to tear the Yingchen Family’s heir to pieces.

"Impudent bastard! No matter who you are, you won’t leave here alive today!"

When the leader of the Yingchen guards saw Ye Luo mercilessly kill all the noble heirs, his heart was already pounding with fury and panic. As the chief of the guards, any failure on his watch would inevitably result in severe punishment. In fact, given the Yingchen Family’s history, he knew he likely wouldn’t survive unless he managed to capture Ye Luo.

"Get him! All of you, attack! Whoever captures this scoundrel will be heavily rewarded!"

With his command, dozens of guards rushed toward Ye Luo in unison.

But relying on these men to capture Ye Luo was nothing short of a delusion.

Initially, Ye Luo hadn’t planned on slaughtering anyone. His intent had been to clandestinely observe the Yingchen Family and gather evidence against them.

However, witnessing their vile actions had ignited a fury he couldn’t suppress, compelling him to act decisively.

Now, it was time for Ye Luo to leave!

Yet just as he was preparing to leave, his gaze fell upon the girls in the gladiator arena. Compassion flickered within him—he knew that if he walked away now, those girls would almost certainly face execution.

Since he had already saved them once, Ye Luo couldn’t bear to see them killed again.

"If you want to live, follow me out of here!"

Ye Luo shouted as he stormed toward the guards. At the same time, the zombie puppets helped lead the girls to follow closely behind him.

The Yingchen guards tried to encircle Ye Luo from all sides, but their strength was utterly insufficient to stop him. Instead, Ye Luo continued rescuing the captives held in the human hunting ground!

In truth, how many of these captives would willingly remain here?

In this human hunting ground, almost everyone constantly thought of escaping.

Yet the hunting ground’s tight security made escape virtually impossible!

This time, though, things were different. With Ye Luo clearing the path, those imprisoned here finally had a chance to break free.

Given even a sliver of hope for survival, who would choose death?

Given an opportunity for freedom, most people would seize it with all their might!

Thus, in mere moments, a crowd of thousands had gathered behind Ye Luo—people he had rescued.

And as time passed, the crowd following Ye Luo continued to grow!

Truthfully, Ye Luo could have escaped long ago if he were alone. But staying behind to protect these people inevitably slowed him down.

This delay gave the Yingchen Family ample time to react.

The human hunting ground was a secret facility of the Yingchen Family.

On the surface, it appeared to be nothing more than a playground for nobles. In reality, however, it served as a covert meeting ground and a means for the Yingchen Family to corrupt and recruit others.

No family would remain truly neutral forever. The Yingchen Family’s pretense of neutrality was nothing but a façade.

Ye Luo had originally believed that the Yingchen Family and the Third Prince were competing for control of the Dragon Clan’s small world.

But now it seemed the Yingchen Family had already established ties with the Third Prince—perhaps they had even sworn allegiance to him!

This revelation was deeply troubling for Ye Luo.

If true, it would mean that the Dragon Clan’s small world had likely fallen into their grasp!

Even so, Ye Luo understood that as long as the Third Prince and the Yingchen Family continued their charade, the Dragon Clan’s small world might still have hope for liberation. After all, the Third Prince hadn’t yet fully consolidated his control!
