The Association Head had his ears already attracted to the news he received from one of his subordinates. For quite a long while, he had failed to react. It was the same for the lady he had been talking with since. 

Dumbfounded. This word wasn't even enough to describe how they felt at the moment. 

After a while, they looked at each other. Their eyes signaling that a commotio would soon start anytime from today onwards.

"How do you think did he do it?" the young lady asked, breaking the silence inside their room. "Do you think he practiced the laws on illusion?"

"That's not far-fetched if you say that," the Association Head replied with a sigh. "However, if it's really the laws of illusion, it's impossible for him to escape from the eyes of the experts protecting Lao Han, that high-level Quasi-Holy Son."

"There is some truth in what you say. However, if it's the laws of illusion at the level of someone stronger than me and 'that' man? What do you think? You must know that although the Churches of Light had strong individuals, they were not as strong as 'that' man who ranked first in our ranking."

"That's true." The Association Head had a pondering look. "If that's indeed the case, do you know anyone from your peers who can use the laws of illusion?"

"No," the young lady replied, realizing that she was thinking too much. "All of their laws are not like that, as far as I know. Although they always hide themselves from the number of people, just like me, I pretty much knew about their strengths because I fought with every one of them. However, there was only one 'man' who really made me feel dread. 

"While the others went easy with me by playing water, that 'man' was so strong that I could not even withstand one gaze from him. And his demeanor, it was the same as that young man called Yang Lujia. I don't know if he also has purple eyes, but that man's pair of eyes were like a force that I could never contend with in my entire life."

"Purple eyes?"

"Yes," the lady replied. "I don't know his real name, but he calls himself the Purple Follower."

"He calls himself the Purple Follower with that strength?" The Association Head specially emphasized such (follower) word and looked at the lady in front of him. "Why would he call himself like that when he's that strong to become a ruler?"

"I don't know either." The young lady shook her head. 

SIGH.

"There are still mysteries in this world that we do not know of the answers yet. For example, that man you knew and now, the young man who kept giving us surprises. How the hell did those young masters come back to life when they were killed? Even one of them ended under your nose?"

The young lady was very apprehensive towards Yang Lujia. She felt like she knew him all along, but at the same time, he wasn't. What was his relationship with the man who she could not even stand against with one gaze?

Repelling all the thoughts aside, she instead looked at the Association Head with a serious look on her face. "You should know what I'm here for, Association Head. My father told me that the Human Emperor Palace entered the Sacred Region this time. He was furious because his people were not granted entry, but those people from the palaces were given the opportunity to do so. It was something he found humiliating, given the reputation of our association."

When the Association Head heard her words, he did not quickly refute them. Instead, he looked at her with hesitant eyes. Eventually, he told her what he knew about this matter. "The Human Emperor Palace is a colossus that even I do not believe that our association could handle them. There from the southeastern part of this world. What do you think made them travel this far?"

The young lady also wondered about this and said, "I heard that most of them were gravely injured from a battle. Has the war among palaces already begun?"

"No, not the war. I heard it was beasts called void beasts that attacked their borders and they barely defended it, producing more and more casualties. You have to know that the Sacred Region is like a healing sanctuary under the supervision of the Holy Light Palace. As for the Holy Light Palace, their ruler, the Holy Light Emperor, was a close friend of the Human Emperor. I think it was because of this that they were allowed entry in the Sacred Region."

She did not answer right away and immediately understood this matter. "I will report this to father. I will let him take action. You have to know our goal here. About this geographical array formation, do not stop until you can get significant information."

If they had such formation in their arsenal, would they fear other organizations in the Autonomous Region? However, what kind of capabilities did this mere Sacred Region to have this kind of protective measure that even a peak Saint Emperor would dread over? 

Them, however, who were proclaimed as the strongest region, did not even have an inkling of this formation. They subjected themselves to self-humiliation—for acting so mighty despite not being able to breach through the Sacred Region by force. 

On the other hand, Yang Lujia was still enjoying the sight transpiring in front of him. He was really amused by this play. However, Brownie was disgusted of these people's faces, although his disgust was because of his background as the Devouring Dog Tribe's prince. He had seen too far many people like them and every time, he would feel this. 

"What? Are you not happy that they are completely submitting to me?" Yang Lujia looked at the kneeling and teeming-with-vigor youths behind these two patriarchs. "They're acting just enough. Haha."

Brownie also looked at the direction where Yang Lujia was looking. His pupils quickly constricted. "Swords! A pair of twin swords! Where did you get them from?!"

"Just one of the random swords I forged."

"Hmph! Keep boasting and you'll die an earlier death!" Brownie replied, extremely disapproving of Yang Lujia's behavior. 

"Only if death itself allows me to experience it." Yang Lujia smiled and continued to revel on other people's pleading. 

After a while, he suddenly appeared in front of these people with a glorious smile on his face. "That's enough."

Like a clap of thunder, the surroundings went silent. They all subconsciously shut their mouths. Yang Lujia's voice deterred every one of them. It was only after a while did the two patriarchs kneel in front of Yang Lujia and apologized for all the grievances they had caused him. 

"You don't have to worry. I like playing anyway. What you played out in the arena yesterday and all the schemes behind them, they were pretty interesting. However, you are underestimating me. You should have already known why your sons have gone missing, right?"

"Whatever it is, us, two patriarchs will heed Master Yang's orders! If Master Yang says we'll go east, we will not hesitate to go east!"

"Young Master Hao and Young Master Du, you lived well. How was the feeling of having your strength increase again?" Yang Lujia smiled. 

"It's more than liberating, Master Yang! However, Master Yang is still the best when mentoring and giving us pointers! Master Yang even tested our clan's bottom line and the attitude of our clans towards us! We are eternally grateful. Otherwise, we would not have known that our fathers actually cared for us that much that they were willing to fight to death for us. Even the Grand Elders were the same. We are very touched!" Young Master Hao explained. 

"When has Young Master Hao become this eloquent in speaking? He was even speaking so calmly! This was so not him! But I like this transformation of him more than his previous self!"

"Yeah! That's true! I like it more when Young Master Hao is like this! That arrogance of his seemed to have been completely wiped out by Master Yang!"

"Oh my god! I never would have thought that something like would play out! Who could've thought that Master Yang completely convinced the two clans! Is he trying to make a name for himself?!"

'Right off the bat, little fellow. But there's one thing you overlooked. I'm not here to just make a name for myself. Instead, I am here… to rule."
