With one punch, Cao Zhengchun’s head cracked open like a watermelon. Ye Mo was venting his emotions. Only with his fist could vent his feelings. If one stab had killed Cao Zhengchun, then Ye Mo would never be able to vent his anger and resentment.
The blood burst everywhere, but it didn’t splash onto Ye Mo’s body. Looking at Cao Zhengchun, who could not be more dead, Ye Mo’s mind began to calm. Killing Cao Zhengchun was within his expectations, but afterward, there would be more trouble. Emperor Li Tianqiong.
In the past, the two factions were balanced. Li Tianqiong may have turned a blind eye. But now, the balance had been broken. With his style of doing things, he’d probably kill all martial artists.
Ye Mo’s eyes swept his surroundings. The onlookers fled in all directions, afraid to provoke the evil star.
Xiu Xiu!
Two figures appeared in front of Ye Mo. Two women, and their appearances were almost the same, but their aura and clothing were different.
Ye Mo was very familiar with these two people. They were his two aunts, Xuan Ji and Xuan Qiu.
“Aunties,” Ye Mo looked surprised to see the two women.
As soon as Xuan Ji heard Ye Mo had returned and was fighting Cao Zhengchun, she rushed over. When she saw that Ye Mo was unharmed, her heavy heart settled. The two aunts smiled at Ye Mo.
“Mo’er, where is Cao Zhengchun?” Xuan Ji couldn’t help but ask. When she landed in front of Ye Mo, she couldn’t feel any strong forces around him.
“I killed him,” Ye Mo said faintly.
“What? You killed Cao Zhengchun?” Xuan Ji’s beautiful face was full of surprise. She couldn’t imagine how Ye Mo had killed Cao Zhengchun. Even she could only match evenly against Cao Zhengchun.
“Yes, I killed Cao Zhengchun,” Ye Mo nodded. “But he told me that Li Tianqiong is likely to return in the near future, so we need to strengthen our martial arts power quickly.”
“We can’t resist Li Tianqiong’s strength,” Xuan Ji said, brows furrowed. After killing Cao Zhengchu, the crisis still wasn’t resolved. “He secluded himself to cultivate. It’s terrifying that he’s out again, and this time his strength will be even more horrifying.”
“Now that Cao Zhengchun is dead, no one in the kingdom can compete with us,” Ye Mo said. “We should lead the Martial Faction army and overthrow all the forces of the kingdom. We’ll establish a new dynasty.”
Ye Mo had this idea a long time ago. He had spent time in the Luosha Kingdom and learned the ways of governing from the Luosha Emperor. If the Tianwu Kingdom went on like this, sooner or later, it would be destroyed by other kingdoms. Even the top-grade kingdoms would be destroyed, not to mention the low-grade kingdoms.
Ye Mo didn’t care if the Tianwu Kingdom was destroyed, but his friends and relatives all lived in the Tianwu Kingdom. He wouldn’t allow his friends and relatives to be colonized.
“Mo’er, I’ve thought of this,” Xuan Ji said. “But the Chen Clan Army is already under Empress Cao’s control. We can’t kill the entire Chen Clan Army. The best way would be to capture Empress Cao and force her to surrender her army. But if we want to take control of the Imperial Palace and Heaven’s Wall City, we would have to think about it long and carefully. The defense of the Imperial Palace and Heaven’s Wall City isn’t as simple as we thought. It’d be very difficult for the army to enter Heaven’s Wall City, and Empress Cao has the decree of the Emperor.”
“Can’t I just rush into the Imperial Palace?” asked Ye Mo with surprise.
“There are hundreds of thousands of imperial guards inside the Imperial Palace,” Xuan Ji said. “Those imperial guards all know the martial formation, and there are thousands of True Yuan cannons at the gates of the Imperial Palace. Even if Transcendence Realm experts invade, it still might not go our way.”
“All right,” Ye Mo said. “Let’s go back to Qingyun League first. I have a thousand Transcendence Pills on me that I’ll give you two later.” Ye Mo didn’t wait for Xuan Ji’s surprised expression, instead, he opened the Caged Dragon Wings and flew toward Qingyun League.
“Mo’er’s surpassed Brother Qing. I think he can now rest in peace.”
The two women hid their shock as they followed Ye Mo toward the Qingyun League.
Back at the Qingyun League, all of the Qingyun League’s elders greeted Ye Mo at the entrance. When everyone heard Ye Mo had killed Cao Zhengchun by himself, they were astonished.
In the past, many of the Qingyun League’s allies were far stronger than Ye Mo. But now he was ahead of them by leaps and bounds.
He was a true genius. He used to flee in panic, but now he returned with unmatched strength and glory.
Qingyun League’s League Chief Pavilion!
“Everyone, there is no need to say anything,” Ye Mo said. “I have a thousand Transcendence Pills here. Those experts in the True Energy Realm can take a few and see if it can help make a breakthrough.” He took the pills that the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber had won from Elder Wu Tian out of his Dimensional Bracelet.
“Transcendence Pills?” Xuan Ji asked. “Is that the training pill that’s a level higher than the Mixed Energy Pill? It’s said that the medical power of this pill is a hundred times stronger than the Mixed Energy Pill. I’ve only ever heard its name before. I’ve never seen what it looks like.” Everyone was dumbfounded. This level of pill was never found in the Tianwu Kingdom.
“Yes, it is.” Ye Mo gave the Transcendence Pills to Xuan Ji, then looked around and said, “Auntie, where are my Uncle Xiao and the others?”
“Nothing happened to Xiao Yuanshan and Madam Xiao, because the Imperial Concubine stepped forward,” Xuan Ji said. “Cao Zhengchun didn’t make things difficult for them.”
Ye Mo relaxed after hearing these words. If something had happened to the two of them, Ye Mo would blame himself.
Ye Mo looked around and saw that Yun Chuchu was nowhere to be seen. With Chuchu’s temper, she’d definitely rush to meet Ye Mo once she found out that he had returned. After being apart for such a long time, Ye Mo was concerned about several women. Yun Chuchu, Qi Ying, and that stupid woman Li Mengli.
Ye Mo’s mood had always been conflicted about his relationship with Li Mengli. Sooner or later, he and Li Tianqiong would have a battle. Either he would die or Ye Mo would, and Li Mengli was mixed in the middle of it.
“Uncle Yun, where is Chuchu?” Ye Mo asked Yun Tianxie.
“Chuchu?” Yun Tianxie was gratified when he saw that Ye Mo hadn’t forgotten about Chuchu. It seemed that he had good eyes. Even though Ye Mo’s strength had increased so much, he still loved Yu Tianie’s granddaughter. “Ah! Ever since you escaped from Tianwu Kingdom, Chuchu, that child, changed her temper. She’d go break into the Qinyun Path every two weeks. But she should be back by now.”
Ye Mo also knew about the Qingyun Path. It was the road towards the Dao. It was a green training path opened by the Qingyun League for martial artists to practice. It was connected to the other kingdom’s training paths. It was only opened for the Chief Elect Members. Ye Mo hadn’t broken through it before.
Since the Kingdom was in a state of chaos, the rules were suspended. Many members had gone on the Qingyun Path to enhance their strength.
“Is Chuchu in any danger?” Ye Mo asked.
He clearly remembered the first time Chuchu heard that something had happened to him, she was deeply aware of her lack of strength, and wanted to train hard in order to protect Ye Mo. Now, once again, she had stepped into the Qingyun Path for Ye Mo!
“Ye Mo, why don’t you go have a look,” Yun Tianxie said, looking a little concerned. “Only those under the age of 20 can enter the Qingyun Path. Now that you’re strong enough to beat experts in the Transcendence Realm, no one should be able to hurt you when you enter the Qingyun Road. You must help me bring back Chuchu.”
