The slap was so random Qianfang Clan leader couldn’t react to it. Before he even realized what had happened, he was already lying on the ground.
He rubbed his swollen face with a gloomy expression. No matter what, he was still a clan leader. And today, he got himself slapped in the face before so many other clan leaders. This was unacceptable.
“Pavilion Leader Nangong, what is the meaning of this?” Qianfang Clan leader asked. “Are you siding with this kid?”
“Of course that’s my meaning,” Nangong Xiao said coldly. “Ye Mo is my brother’s son in law. That woman you’re selling is his friend. You kidnapped Ye Mo’s friend to be sold here? What’s the meaning of that, may I ask?”
“What? That kid is your brother’s son in law?” Qianfang Clan leader was completely stupified. “Castellan Nangong’s son in law?”
The Qianfang Clan was large, but the Nangong Clan was at a completely different level.
As for everyone watching them, they were inwardly alarmed as well. It was no wonder Ye Mo was so brazen, daring to cause trouble here. It turned out this was his turf.
“Release Ye Mo’s friend. We’ll be exempting you for the service charge,” Nangong Xiao offered as he did not want to be too ruthless.
“Many thanks to Pavilion Leader Nangong.” Qianfang Clan leader cupped his fists at Nangong Xiao and held his anger in. With a wave of his arm, he left with his people.
“Everyone, my apologies for this short interruption,” Nangong Xiao said. “We still have many rare treasures here at the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion. And we’ll be selling Black Crystal Stones later. The clans that have already booked them in advance will be able to buy them.”
Nangong Xiao left the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion with Ye Mo and the others.
When they reached the inner hall, Ye Mo apologized to Nangong Xiao, “I’m sorry for troubling you.”
“So long as you remain loyal to Yurou, it’s nothing,” Nangong Xiao said. “But be sure to be careful in the future. Though the Nangong Clan is powerful, we can’t protect you forever.”
It was clear what he was trying to say. He was hinting that Ye Mo should be more careful in the future.
“Ok,” Ye Mo nodded in agreement. If it were any other day, Ye Mo would never have acted so brashly. But a very important person to him had been captured and was being sold off as a slave. That was something he couldn’t swallow.
“Alright. I still have something to do so I’ll be leaving now,” Nangong Xiao said and left.
The moment Nangong Xiao left, Ye Mo told Nangong Yurou that he had to leave with the Luosha Maiden. Nangong Yurou was furious, but fortunately, Ye Mo was able to cheer her up by promising to gift her the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade.
Then, Ye Mo brought Luosha Maiden and left the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion in a rush.
“So what’s happening in the Tianwu Kingdom?” Ye Mo asked anxiously.
The Luosha Maiden was calm and unhurried. Slowly, she explained everything she knew to Ye Mo.
Since the league war where Ye Mo killed Cao Zhengchun’s son, Cao Zheng, and fled the Tianwu Kingdom, the kingdom had changed greatly.
Because the Tianwu emperor Li Tianqiong was in a secluded cultivation, the entire Tianwu Kingdom was being run by Cao Zhengchun alone.
As payback for Cao Zheng’s death, Cao Zhengchun arrested everyone with any sort of relationship with Ye Mo.
The Qingyun League was banned from the kingdom. Xuan Ji had lost her patience and refined the Star Map to break into the Transcendence Realm. After that, the largest civil war since Tianwu Kingdom’s establishment broke out.
There were many casualties in that war. But even with the three leagues working together, they were no match for Cao Zhengchun and Empress Cao, who were working together.
Though Xuan Ji had entered the Transcendence Realm, she was still no match for Cao Zhengchun. Empress Cao had the many treasures of the emperor. She’d even given Cao Zhengchun the Lightning Demonslaying Halbert. With that, Cao Zhengchun was able to suppress Xuan Jin’s strength.
And because of the war, the enmity between the two factions had reached a point of no return.
The more Cao Zhengchun fought, the angrier he got. And because he failed to capture Ye Mo, he blamed Chen Yihan, claiming that Chen Yihan had allowed Ye Mo to escape.
And with Empress Cao holding power in the government, she withdrew Chen Yihan’s military command. That sentTianwu Kingdom into an even greater chaos.
The people of the Martial Faction revealed themselves, with Chen Yihan revealing his identity as their leader.
The Martial Faction joined up with the three leagues and started an all-out war against the Emperor Faction.
As for Xuan Qiu, it was discovered that she was the one who released the highly dangerous criminal, Yao Yue. When she was found out, she decided to release all the prisoners from Luosha Prison. She had been arrested by Cao Zhengchun and was scheduled for a public execution half a month later at Heaven’s Wall City’s public square.
Of course, Cao Zhengchun was obviously holding the execution to provoke the Martial Faction and the three leagues. After all, Xuan Qiu was Xuan Ji’s sister. By scheduling a public execution for her, the people of the Martial Faction would have to try to rescue her. And then, Cao Zhengchun would be able to take the opportunity to kill all of them in one go.
“The execution is going to be held in half a month?” Ye Mo frowned. With his current strength, he would be able to reach the Tianwu Kingdom in 10 days. But though he was stronger now, against Cao Zhengchun, a Transcendence Realm expert, he was still helpless.
“What should I do?” he asked.
Xuan Qiu was also his aunt. And she was only captured by Cao Zhengchun for releasing him and Yao Yue. He couldn’t let Cao Zhengchun kill her.
He now had 200,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power. Even against a pseudo Transcendence Realm expert, he was still confident he could hold his own. And if he could awaken an additional 50,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power, not even pseudo Transcendence Realm experts would be his match anymore.
If I can enter the Immemorial Realm one more time to absorb some Immemorial Energy, I might be able to awaken more Caged Dragon Power, Ye Mo thought.
“No!” Hong Ling said.
“No?” Ye Mo was astonished.
“The last time you did that, you absorbed enough to reach saturation,” Hong Ling explained calmly. “Even if you keep absorbing, it might not be able to help.”
“I have no other choice,” Ye Mo said. “This is the only way I can quickly increase my strength.”
Ye Mo arranging accommodations for the Luosha Maiden at the Nangong Estate. At the same time, he gave Nangong Yurou the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade before telling her that he might need to leave the Door of Desolation for an extended period of time. Done with everything, he headed toward the Door of Desolation.
On his way, he discovered a large group of people gathered below the Desolate Mountain. They weren’t Door of Desolation disciples, instead, they were the members of various clans.
“Sir, we’re from the Beiming Clan,” a middle-aged man said as he presented a sheath to someone from the Inner Peak. He didn’t forget to pass over a stack of bills, too. “This is the sheath we’ve forged for the Saint Ancestor. I hope you can pass it to her.”
“Sir, this is the sheath the Qianfang Clan has forged for the Saint Ancestor.”
“This is the sheath the Four Seasons Clan has forged for the Saint Ancestor.”
The clans were all trying to present the sheaths they had forged.
“Hmph. Those sheaths are in various shapes, and not one of them is correct,” Ye Mo snorted after giving them a single glance. “The Blood Devil Saber’s one meter long and none of those are the right size.”
Ye Mo streaked straight to the Inner Peak. Shortly after, he landed on a peak.
Next, an old fellow appeared in a pavilion there for some reason.
Ye Mo glanced at the old fellow curiously. As far as he remembered, there was no pavilion there.
As Ye Mo sized up the old fellow, he felt the space in front of him twisting, so he couldn’t get a clear look at the old fellow’s appearance. But he was still able to see that the old fellow was a woman.
But for some reason, Ye Mo was getting a familiar sense from the majestic aura the old fellow was emanating.
“Young man, come over.” Amid the twisting space, the old fellow waved at Ye Mo.
