“Sixth senior brother, thank you for taking it easy on me,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“What strength!” the Sixth Brother said. “You were actually able to defeat my Transcendence Golden Body with one move. I reckon your strength is already comparable to a Transcendence Fourth Realm warrior.”
The sixth senior brother was completely astonished. He could easily kill ordinary Transcendence Third Realm warriors, yet Ye Mo was able to break his Transcendence Golden Body with a single move. Ye Mo’s strength was definitely at the level of the Transcendence Fourth Realm.
But the stronger Ye Mo became, the stronger the Asura Palace would become as well. Perhaps, in the Six Dao Tournament next year, Ye Mo would be able to lead them toward all the glories the tournament promised.
“Maybe that’s true.” Ye Mo shrugged helplessly.
After entering the Daozhi Ocean, although he hadn’t awakened any new streams of Caged Dragon Power, nor had he advanced in cultivation, he had gained more understanding of the Transcendence Realm. That sort of comprehension would be of great help to him on his understanding of the usage of power.
Before this, even with Dragon Blood Transformation, Ye Mo wasn’t confident that he would be able to defeat a Transcendence Fourth Realm warrior. But now, he was completely confident.
Nangong Wudi watched on blankly as everything happened. If it weren’t for the fact that he knew the temperament of the Sixth Brother well, he might have thought that the Sixth Brother was letting Ye Mo win.
A late-stage Spirit Devour Realm warrior had defeated a Transcendence Third Realm warrior. If the news spread, people would be shocked. Geniuses? All of them were worthless in comparison with Ye Mo.
It was only now that he understood how terrifyingly talented this son-in-law he’d gotten was. In less than three years, Ye Mo would easily be one of the top experts of the Zone of Desolation.
“Father-in-law, with this, I should be able to represent the Nangong Clan to the Zone of Seals, right?” Ye Mo asked calmly.
“Ye Mo, you have truly opened my eyes,” Nangong Wudi said. “Since you’ve defeated him, it’s natural that you can represent the Nangong Clan to the Zone of Seals.”
Nangong Wudi looked at Ye Mo, his face filled with a satisfied smile. He wanted nothing more than to formalize Ye Mo’s marriage with Nangong Yurou right this moment. A son-in-law this remarkable would be able to easily attract the attention of other ladies.
“Many thanks, father-in-law!” Ye Mo placed his spear on his back before cupping his fists and thanking Nangong Wudi.
“Tomorrow, the people from the three other clans will arrive as well,” Nangong Wudi said. “They will all gather at the Desolate City. I’ll send all of you to the spatial portal connecting to the Zone of Seals. You may make your preparations at the Desolate City. Also, pay a visit to the Heavenly Palace for me and call Yurou back. Let her send you off on your trip as well.”
“Of course.” Ye Mo cupped his fists in agreement. Without any hesitation, he turned and left the Castellan’s Estate.
“Lord castellan, Junior Brother Ye Mo is too powerful,” Sixth Brother lamented.
“The moment he enters the Transcendence Realm, his strength will be unimaginable.”
“Perhaps I’ve found myself a good successor.”
In a certain building in the Immemorial Realm, three people stood. They were Elder Wu Tian, Li Huangmin, and Li Tianqiong.
“Tianqiong, this is Elder Wu Tian, also the trusted aide of the young society head.” Li Huangmin introduced Li Tianqiong to Wu Tian.
“Greetings, Elder Wu Tian.” Li Tianqiong cupped his fists and greeted him.
“I’ve heard about your situation from your father,” Elder Wu Tian said with his hands stuffed in his sleeves. His voice was expressionless. “Your kingdom’s Slab of Fortune has been stolen. This has caused the displeasure of some elders of the First Heaven Society. I heard you know who the thief is?”
“The thief who stole the Slab of Fortune fragments is Ye Mo,” Li Tianqiong said. “I fought him once. He’s already fused the Slab of Fortune fragments with his own body.”
“Hehe, Ye Mo again? How interesting.” When Elder Wu Tian heard that, his face turned gloomy as he said, “I told those old fellows long ago. Ye Mo will become a stumbling block for us sooner or later. But they keep insisting that Ye Mo is nothing, he won’t be a threat.”
“Elder Wu Tian, Ye Mo is indeed terrifyingly talented,” Li Tianqiong said furiously. “He’s from the Tianwu Kingdom. And he’s only been cultivating for less than three years yet he already possesses such strength. And, lately, he’s been making a lot of moves against the First Heaven Society.”
Li Tianqiong wanted to kill Ye Mo and regain the Tianwu Kingdom, no matter what it took.
“Not only is he making an enemy out of the First Heaven Society, he’s also making an enemy out of me,” Elder Wu Tian said coldly. He was filled with fury as well. “But he has the support of Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber. Here in the Door of Desolation, nobody would dare touch him.”
“Elder Wu Tian, I’ve just learned that Ye Mo is also the son in law of the Nangong Clan.” Li Huangmin had accidentally jabbed on Elder Wu Tian’s pain. If not for Ye Mo, he would have been the in-law of the Nangong Clan.
With his jaws clenched tightly, he spoke, “I am aware of that.”
“Tomorrow, the four largest clans of Zone of Desolation will organize a trading fleet that will head to the Zone of Seals to purchase a large number of items,” Li Huangmin said. “Ye Mo has also joined the fleet on Nangong Wudi’s recommendation, becoming one of the elite guards of Nangong Clan’s fleet.”
“Oh? To become an elite guard, one needs to at least be a Transcendence Third Realm,” Elder Wu Tian said. “Is Ye Mo that strong already? Or perhaps it’s just Nangong Wudi arranging something for him to gain more experience?”
With Nangong Wudi’s temperament, it was very possible he would allow Ye Mo to go to the Zone of Seals.
“We can never underestimate Ye Mo’s strength,” Li Huangmin said.
“Oh well, this will be a great opportunity to kill Ye Mo,” Wu Tian said, “Li Tianqiong, are you strong enough to beat Ye Mo?”
“Elder Wu Tian, I’m now in the Transcendence Fourth Realm, and I’ve mastered my sword technique.” Li Tianqiong was filled with confidence. “I can easily kill Ye Mo.”
“Good. I’ll talk to the Shangguan Clan and arrange for you to become an elite guard for their fleet,” Elder Wu Tian said with a ruthless glint in his eyes. “Don’t make any moves while you’re still in the Zone of Desolation. The moment you do anything, Ye Mo might be able to summon the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber. And remember that you can’t make it known that you’re the one who killed Ye Mo. Wait until you’re all at the Zone of Seals. In the unfamiliar environment, kill him off stealthily. That way, nobody will be able to blame you for it.”
“Elder Wu Tian, I’ll complete the mission, leaving Ye Mo’s corpse at the Zone of Seals,” Li Tianqiong vowed solemnly. After reaching the Zone of Seals, he only needed to find an opening to leave the group and kill Ye Mo. Nobody would know a thing.
So what if Ye Mo was on his guard? With Li Tianqiong’s current strength, he was confident Ye Mo wouldn’t be able to escape him if he wanted to assassinate Ye Mo.
“Um. You may leave now.”
Heavenly Palace.
At the mention of Nangong Yurou, Ye Mo realized that he had missed her recently. But, upon reaching the Heavenly Palace, the first person he saw wasn’t Nangong Yurou. Instead, it was an old friend, Zi Yi.
“Ye Mo, you brat, you’re so powerful nowadays,” Zi Yi said. “Can we still play together?”
Zi Yi wasn’t dressed in the Door of Desolation’s uniform. She was dressed in a purple outfit. She had also reached late-stage Spirit Devour Realm.
“You’re not too bad yourself,” Ye Mo replied. “You’re already in the late stage Spirit Devour Realm, too.”
“I know you’re definitely not here for me. So are you here at the Heavenly Palace for Nangong Yurou? Or Nangong Qingxue?” Zi Yi asked with an amused expression.
“Erm…” Ye Mo was at a loss for words. After laughing dryly, he replied, “I’m here to look for both of them.”
“Oh?” Zi Yi raised an eyebrow. “For an ordinary disciple, getting even one of the pretty sisters of Nangong Clan would be considered an outstanding feat. You’ve taken both of them. Remember, even Liu Qingyun of Human Dao Palace is courting Nangong Qingxue.”
