“You dare touch my man?”
As these words were said, everyone was in complete disbelief – did the castellan of the Frost Ice City really say something like that? But her icy-cold tone confirmed that it was indeed she who said those words.
And the man she was referring to was the so-called spy that Fengong Wuliang had accused.
The conflict between the two exploded.
As for Ye Mo, he stared at Yao Yue’s beautiful face. Ye Mo couldn’t even remember how many days the two of them had been apart.
But Ye Mo knew that the last time he had seen her, he had yet to reach the True Energy Realm.
He had never expected that Yao Yue would actually become the city master of the Frost Ice City – a fighter in the Profound Heaven Realm.
A wave of sorrow poured out from Ye Mo’s heart. How much suffering and life-and-death situations did she have to go through to survive and reach this level in the Zone of Chaos?
This wasn’t something that normal people would be able to handle.
The Zone of Chaos was a holy land for fighters seeking to train, imbued with thick natural auras and powerful natural essences.
Those who were able to endure and stand out from the rest were the cream of the crop. But that also meant that they had to kill countless people to get to where they were.
Kacha!
Fengong Wuliang escaped from the freezing. Looking at Yao Yue with a face of disbelief, he asked, “Castellan Lord… what did you just say?”
“This person is my friend.” Yao Yue frowned as she said, “All of you should leave. I will not let you people take away my friend. Even if he was a spy from a nearby city, or killed whoever, I still wouldn’t allow you to take him away.”
“Yao Yue!” Fengong Wuliang was infuriated, not even using her title of “Castellan Lord” anymore, instead shouting Yao Yue’s name. “This person is extremely important to me. I understand that this person is a friend of yours. However, I am also your friend. Offending a Profound World Realm friend because for a Transcendence Realm friend isn’t a logical move.
“So what if he’s in the Transcendence Realm?” Yao Yue said firmly. “Even if he was in the True Energy Realm, the Spirit Cultivating Realm or a complete waste of space, I wouldn’t allow you people to take him away. Leave me, or don’t blame me for what I do.”
Fengong Wuliang looked at Yao Yue furiously. He checked out Ye Mo, before finally saying, unwillingly, “Kid, you better not leave the Castellan’s residence. Otherwise, I’ll show you what for. Let’s go!”
Fengong Wuliang flung his sleeve and led the city military away from the Castellan Estate.
“Managers, go back to your duties and send some people to guard the residence. Notify me directly if any situation arises.”
As Yao Yue spoke, she helped Ye Mo into her own room.
The sight almost caused the group of girls’ eyes to pop out – was this man the one whom the Castellan Lord had been thinking about day and night?
After being helped into her room, Ye Mo sat down and said in a surprised tone, “Sister Yao Yue, who would’ve thought that it’s you.”
“That Fengong Wuliang almost killed you.” Yao Yue looked guilty.
“How did you end up here in the Zone of Chaos?” The two of them asked simultaneously, then both chuckled.
“You go first. I’ll listen as I heal,” Ye Mo said, smiling, as he sat down cross-legged. He started listening to the story of where Yao Yue had been all those years.
It turned out that the moment Yao Yue left the Tianwu Kingdom, she saw a huge battle between two families, as if they were fighting for a treasure. The treasure was, naturally, the Primordial Shenrui Blood. The blood was awarded by Feng Chu to the family, only for Yao Yue to swoop in and take advantage, stealing the Primordial Shenrui Blood. In the end, she ended up being pursued by those two families. She had no choice but to consume that drop of Primordial Shenrui Blood.
At first, Yao Yue thought that she was about to meet her end. As she consumed the blood, she was indeed dead. But she was unexpectedly revived, and given the Frost Ice Phoenix Body and a new lease on life.
That revival not only boosted Yao Yue’s strength, but also gave her more memory of inheritance. While she didn’t know where those memories came from, they allowed her to learn many high-level techniques.
In the end, Yao Yue stepped out of her state of despair, killing both families who were after her, only for an elder of the First Heaven Society to appear, forcing her to escape from the Zone of Desolation and she ended up here in the Zone of Chaos.
Using her strong talents, training and killing every step of the way, she finally ended up in her current position. But the difficulties and suffering that she had to go through couldn’t be stated in mere words.
Yao Yue spoke for a few hours, a slight tremble in her voice – a lady all on her own without any support or any advisers. It was difficult for her to reach where she was today.
Ye Mo slowly embraced her and said, “I never imagined that you had to go through all these things. But, regardless of all the hardships, everything is over now. You’re a fighter in the Profound Heaven Realm.”
“So what if I’m in the Profound Heaven Realm? I’m still suppressed everywhere I go in the Zone of Chaos. By the way, how did you get here?”
Leaning against Ye Mo’s chest, it was as if Yao Yue had found her anchor – extremely warm, extremely safe.
Ye Mo told Yao Yue about his own story. As she listened, she grew furious on his behalf.
“Ye Mo, initially, I had decided to participate in this Thousand City Battle before returning to the Zone of Desolation, Yao Yue said. “Given the situation, let’s return immediately.”
“Sister Yao Yue, there is no point in you returning,” Ye Mo said. “Feng Chu is far stronger than you and I can fight against.”
“Then, how did you end up a target of Fengong Wuliang?” Yao Yue asked – she was extremely interested in everything that happened to Ye Mo.
When the two of them parting at the cliff of a mountain, they sealed their love and their lives with a kiss. As someone who bottled up her emotions, even though she clearly liked Ye Mo, she would never admit it.
“Take a look at this!”
Ye Mo wasn’t going to hide anything from his own woman. He immediately took out the Devil Refining Gourd.
“What?” Looking at the gourd in Ye Mo’s hand, she was taken by surprise. “This is the Devil Refining Gourd? One of the top seven Ancient Murder Weapons, capable of cultivating all objects. Carrying this, one can cultivate anything, even when faced with a fighter a tier higher than him or her.”
“That’s right. This is the Devil Refining Gourd that I managed to steal. But I ended up attracting Fengong Wuliang’s attention. Getting beaten up twice by him – not a good feeling, I must admit.”
Ye Mo pouted. Indeed, with his strength dropping greatly, few would be able to endure this level of suppression. But, thinking about how that was the price to pay for the Devil Refining Gourd, it was still worth it.
“Don’t worry, Ye Mo. With me here to protect you now, that Fengong Wuliang won’t be able to get his hands on you,” Yao Yue said, frowning. “But, in half a month’s time, I’m going to participate in the Thousand Cities Battle with Fengong Wuliang. I’m afraid that he will take that chance to deal with you when the time comes.”
“Sister Yao Yue, my current strength level is only suppressed due to circumstance,” Ye Mo said calmly. “In half a month’s time, my strength will recover. Furthermore, I have two drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood with me. Fusing those, my strength will rise even further. Fengong Wuliang will no longer be a match for me.”
“Are you sure that you’ll be able to deal with Fengong Wuliang?” Yao Yue sounded doubtful. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to believe Ye Mo, but a fighter in the Sixth Tier of the Transcendence Realm couldn’t bluff his way out of anything. No matter how much he recovered, his opponent was still a fighter in the advanced stage of the Profound World Realm.
