“Elder Feng, do you understand what you’re saying? It’s not a wise decision for you to displease Master Xuan Ji just because of a disciple who you just took in,” Elder Yun raged at Elder Feng after seeing the change in his attitude.
“I’m just stating the facts. Ye Mo shouldn’t be punished,” said Elder Feng.
“He violated the league rules by crippling a fellow league member’s Energy Center, and he even started a fight in the Martial Training Hall — that’s an added violation! According to the league rules, he is to be executed,” Elder Yun He angrily erupted with his face flushed red.
The entire Legal Division was now a battlefield of the Elders, and the atmosphere was very tense. None of the league members from the supervising team dared to make a sound.
Seeing that Elder Yun He was determined to cripple him, Ye Mo went all out and said with a powerful and resonating voice, “Elder Yun He, just one Nine Turn Seal Spiritual Pill have got you all terrified? Heh. To think that all of you are the Elders of the Legal Division, is this doing justice to the league rules of Qingyun Alliance?”
“B*stard!”
The expression on Yun He’s face changed completely as he let out a shout. A powerful force of True Energy was sent crashing towards Ye Mo like a wave, and Ye Mo was forced back a few steps as blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
But when the True Energy entered Ye Mo’s body, it was completely absorbed by the Rising Dragon Pillar and converted into energy to awaken the Dragon Power.
Ye Mo wiped the corner of his mouth and said while laughing coldly, “So this is how the Legal Division punishes a league member? You’re just another dog raised by Union Chief Xuan Ji.”
“How dare you insult Elder Yun He like this,” Yuanshan who stood behind Ye Mo shouted out with rage. A punch that carried a ferocious force was sent in Ye Mo’s direction. The punch flickered as it penetrated through Ye Mo’s body.
“What? An afterimage?”
Before Yuanshan could even be surprised, he felt a chill from behind his back. A kick with a motion like that of a dragon swaying its tail sent him flying.
“You want to sneak an attack on me? Do you even have that capability?” Ye Mo laughed coldly.
“Ye Mo, you dare to start a fight?” Yun He angrily shouted.
“Haha, me starting a fight? It’s clear that Yun Shan had tried to sneak an attack on me, only to be sent flying by me when he failed. But in your words, somehow I’ve become the one who started the fight. Am I supposed to just stand there and let him attack me? Not to mention that you tried to injure me with your True Energy, and if my body hadn’t been strengthened through the use of treasured resources, I would have already lost my life,” said Ye Mo.
“Supervisory League Members, take him down!”
Upon Elder Yun He’s command, all the Supervisory League Members had their weapons aimed at Ye Mo. They were ready to apprehend him at any moment.
Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping!
Within the Legal Division, all the tables, chairs, and teacups shattered. Elder Feng stood up slowly and said, “Have you all had enough?”
“Elder Feng, are you serious about protecting Ye Mo?” Yun He asked again. He was aware that this was a sign that Elder Feng was on the verge of snapping.
“I’m not blind. You have all been provoking my disciple time and time again to try and oppress him into submitting. As for my disciple crippling Yun Shan’s Energy Center, there’s a reason for everything and decisions are made based on the circumstances, right?” said Elder Feng.
“I also believes that Ye Mo didn’t cripple Yun Shan for no reason!” Yao Yue also stood up and spoke for Ye Mo.
“Who exactly is this Ye Mo? Even Yao Yue is pleading for him. Looks like our plan to kill Ye Mo today is not going to work out.” Yun Shan gripped his own chest as he coughed out mouthfuls of blood. Yun Shan had thought that after advancing into the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm, he would be able to defeat Ye Mo. However, he could never have imagined that Ye Mo was getting more and more powerful, already leaving him far far behind.
“According to the league rules of Qingyun Alliance, Ye Mo’s Energy Center must be crippled!” said Elder Yun He.
Elder Huo Yun and Elder Dao Lian were both puzzled with what was going on. Why was Yun He so persistent on getting rid of Ye Mo? Did he really receive such instructions from Union Chief Xuan Ji?
“Yun He, since you like to talk about the league rules, fine, let me talk about them too. In the league rules, there’s also a particular rule which states that when a league member exhibits a prodigious talent, his mistakes can be pardoned. Being an Energy Shaping First Realm Warrior, my disciple is already able to defeat an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm Warrior. This is enough to prove his potential,” said Elder Feng.
“Just this alone isn’t enough to pardon him from his crimes. His talent is all due to his use of treasured resources, and such warriors can never go far. Unless he has other talents, his crimes cannot go unpunished,” said Yun He.
“He can cultivate the Appearance Pill. Now, this should be sufficient, right!” Elder Feng said coldly.
“What? He can cultivate the Appearance Pill?”
Yun He was completely taken aback. He said, “How is this possible? Not even a True Energy Realm fighter can cultivate the Appearance Pill, how can Ye Mo do it? Elder Feng, you’re already so old, so don’t make up such lies just to protect Ye Mo.”
Yun He clearly didn’t believe that Ye Mo was able to cultivate the Appearance Pill. Those that are capable of cultivating the Appearance Pill are all elders that already have one of their foot in the grave. It could be said that they were already antiques.
“In today’s Strength Examination, there was a league member by the name of Yan Shihan, who I believe that you all are aware of. She had been disfigured by Xu Fu in the past but have already regained her looks through the effects of the Appearance Pill, and according to her, this Appearance Pill was cultivated for her by a league member from the Outer League,” said Elder Feng.
“Just based on that you believe that the Appearance Pill was cultivated by Ye Mo?” Elder Yun He laughed coldly.
“Hmph. Yao Yue had already sent someone to the League Points Hall to look into this matter, and recently, someone had exchanged for the Water of Life at the League Points Hall. That person is Ye Mo!” said Elder Feng.
“How is this possible?”
Yun He was completely in shock. The Water of Life is an ingredient required for the cultivation of the Appearance Pill. If Ye Mo was really able to cultivate the Appearance Pill, Elder Feng would still stand by him even if Union Chief Xuan Ji were to be here personally. The Appearance Pill was this important to Elder Feng. For the Appearance Pill, Elder Feng had gone on countless journeys, all to find an Alchemist who could cultivate the Appearance Pill, but throughout all the years, he hadn’t made any progress.
“I can indeed cultivate the Appearance Pill. Can this really speak to my potential as a disciple?” asked Ye Mo.
Because Ye Mo was capable of cultivating the Appearance Pill, it was no longer possible for Yun Shan to kill Ye Mo.
“Since you’re capable of cultivating the Appearance Pill, it’s a proof of your talents, so the Legal Division will pardon your crimes.”
Elder Yun He let out a sigh and looked at Ye Mo with hatred. “Master Xuan Ji, I’ve already done all that I can!”
Then, he walked out of the Legal Division.
Elder Huo Yun and Elder Dao Lian also cupped their hands together and greeted Elder Feng before they walked into the inner hall.
“Disciple, are you really capable of cultivating the Appearance Pill?”
After everyone from the Legal Division left, Elder Feng got very agitated and grabbed Ye Mo’s shoulder with both hands.
“Yes, Master. As long as I have the ingredients, I can cultivate the Appearance Pill.”
“Hahaha, that’s really great. Disciple, follow me back first.” Elder Feng didn’t even bother with Yao Yue. He grabbed Ye Mo by his shoulder and immediately left the Legal Division.
“Ye Mo, after today, I don’t know when I can see you again!” said Yao Yue as she slowly exited from the Legal Division.
