Ye Mo headed towards the Martial Training Hall first to confirm the mission.
Entering the Martial Training Hall, he heard a few Inner League members whispering. They were are discussing the case of Song Yang’s murder.
“I heard that on that day. It was Brother Xie Xiu, Brother Song Yang, and Brother Li Tianhe, the elite fighters of the three major Inner Leagues, who banded together and killed the Bone Dragon. They split up after evenly splitting the dragon spine. Brother Song Yang unfortunately met Duan Tianya of the Wushuang League. Duan Tianya is extremely strong — legend has it that not only has he already reached the peak of the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, he also holds a premium spirit weapon. He was after Song Yang’s Bone Dragon spine and decided to follow him and eventually kill him.”
“I heard that it was Tiandi League’s Lin Kunyuan who killed him!”
“Those two are the only ones who would be able to kill Brother Song Yang.”
“They would never guess that it was me who killed Song Yang. The Primordial Gold Stick that Song Yang wanted to steal – how would it be possible?” Ye Mo laughed coldly and left the Martial Training Hall after confirming the mission.
Ye Mo had 500 league points deducted, having failed the mission of heading towards the Skyburn Mountain Range to kill five corpses.
He did not care too much about the league points. Leaving the Martial Training Hall, he prepared to head towards Yao Yue’s training location – the green mirror lake.
Every elite league member had a mirror lake. Any league member attempting to enter the mirror lake without permission would face nothing but trouble. Mirror lakes were equipped with Offence Formations, similar to that of the Million Ancestral Swords Formations.
The mirror lake was surrounded by greenery and filled with flora and fauna. In the middle of the lake was a gigantic tower which gave off a flashing glow. Beside it was a Level Two Energy Gathering Formations.
As Ye Mo approached the shore of the lake, he saw a few people standing there. He was unable to make out what they were doing.
Ye Mo slowly walked forward and saw a handsome man standing beside a lady, his voice extremely warm and gentle.
“Hong Ying, I just want to congratulate Sister Yao Yue for entering the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm and also express my love and admiration for her.”
The man stood upright. He had a scar across his face. His voice carried an aura of masculinity. The man was at least in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm.
“Li Tianyang, Sister Yao Yue is currently closed off as she consolidates her training. Furthermore, she is leaving the Qingyun League after today. I suggest you keep this love and admiration of yours to yourself. You don’t stand a chance,” said the lady named Hong Ying.
“Hong Ying, all I want is to fight for a chance. During my recent mission, I was rewarded with an Ice Spirit Deity Pearl, a high-grade ice-type pearl. If Sister Yao Yue can cultivate it, her strength will definitely become more exquisite.” Li Tianyang took out a snow white pearl from his Dimensional Bracelet as he spoke. The pearl was crystal clear and enshrouded with a frost aura, a special ice-type pearl indeed.
The other league members in the surrounding saw the pearl and immediately sighed. “Looks like Brother Li Tianyang is determined to woo Sister Yao Yue, even willing to give her the Ice Spirit Deity Pearl. However, love and affection can be one-sided at times – I have never seen Sister Yao Yue show any interest in any league member.”
“Haha, you don’t know about that. I heard that Sister Yao Yue was seen walking side by side with an Outer League member. Apparently, that league member was recently promoted to the Inner League,” said another league member, smiling.
Li Tianyang’s expression changed. He instantly charged towards the league member, asking aggressively, “Who is this league member that you’re talking about?”
“Brother Li Tianyang, this is something I heard from other people as well. Furthermore, just because they walked side by side, it doesn’t mean that they are in that kind of relationship,” said the league member.
Ye Mo slowly walked forward, ignoring Li Tianyang and the rest and heading towards Hong Ying. He asked gently, “Sister, I would like to meet Yao Yue. May I trouble you to notify her?”
“Who is this league member? Is Yao Yue someone you can address directly?” Li Tianyang was instantly infuriated.
He was already in anger after being denied of seeing Yao Yue. Seeing that Ye Mo wanted to see her, and even addressing her by name, he was instantly furious.
The league members beside him involuntarily took a few steps back. They were all here to congratulate Yao Yue but were not as stubborn as Li Tianyang after being informed that it would not be possible.
“Brother, why does the way I address Yao Yue concern you?” Ye Mo could not help but ask.
Hearing that, Li Tianyang was instantly enraged as he walked towards Ye Mo and stared coldly at him. “I dare you to say that again.”
Ye Mo stared firmly back at Li Tianyang, their glances colliding in an instant. Waves of energy exploded like two shapeless energy balls colliding, causing cracks to be seen on the ground.
Facing an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter, Ye Mo showed zero fear.
While he had no chance against an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter, Ye Mo was never one to back down.
“Fellow league member, I suggest that you leave. Sister Yao Yue said that she will not be seeing anyone.”
Seeing the situation, Hong Ying stepped forward immediately to resolve the tension, fearing that the two of them were going to start fighting.
“Sister, I heard that Yao Yue is leaving the Qingyun League, hence I have something that I would thank her face-to-face for something. You can inform her that my name is Ye Mo.” Ye Mo smiled.
“What? You are Ye Mo?”
Hearing this, Hong Ying was instantly stunned and she said, “You are Ye Mo – the Energy Shaping First Realm Outer League fighter who defeated an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm with a single hit? I’ve heard Sister Yao Yue mention your name before.”
“What? Sister Yao Yue mentioned his name to you before?” Li Tianyang said and he could not help but check Ye Mo out. He could not understand why this man in front of him deserved to be mentioned by Yao Yue, for whatever reason.
“Yes. Sister Yao Yue also mentioned that if Ye Mo comes looking for her, he should be allowed to pass!”
Hong Ying nodded her head as she said to Ye Mo, “Ye Mo, I shall bring you to meet Sister Yao Yue now.”
“Thank you!”
Ignoring the looks from the other people, Ye Mo followed behind Hong Ying and headed towards the center of the mirror lake.
“Wait.” Li Tianyang instantly blocked Ye Mo’s path and said calmly, “You’re Ye Mo, correct? To be honest, you do not have any right to see Sister Yao Yue. If you want to see her, sure, walk past me.”
If you can walk past me, I shall let you meet Sister Yao Yue,” Li Tianyang shouted as he extended his arms, blocking Ye Mo’s path.
Li Tianyang’s intentions were clear: Kid, even I myself have yet to see Yao Yue – if you want to see her, defeat me and I will let you cross.
“Really?”
To the surprise of everyone else, Ye Mo really struck out a punch. Li Tianyang laughed mockingly as he matched him with a punch as well. However, the punch directly passed through Ye Mo.
“What is going on?”
Li Tianyang’s attack did not connect, and the Ye Mo in front of him had already formed into a shadow. A cold voice was heard behind him.
“I have already walked past you!”
Everyone was in shock. The speed of this Ye Mo was incredible, even bamboozling an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm Li Tianyang.
“Good kid, I’ll hand it to you. You’re Ye Mo, right? I’ll remember your name,” said Li Tianyang loudly.
“One month from now, I shall battle you here. I will use my strength to tell you that you indeed do not have the right to chase after Yao Yue.”
As he finished, Ye Mo followed behind Hong Ying without even turning his head back as he continued towards the mirror lake.
