The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Yao Yue’s words left Mentor Mo speechless. He had been instructed by Ye Changsheng to execute Ye Mo, but he had not expected Yao Yue’s arrival.

“This?”Mentor Mo hesitated slightly, before explaining, “Actually, the mission was given by Yun Shan. I had no idea about the details.”

Hearing that, Yun Shan looked at Mentor Mo, his eyes wide. He was trying to push all the blame to him. However, as he opened his mouth to rebut, Mentor Mo gave him a murderous glare at him, shutting him up.

“So, how do you explain attempting to execute Ye Mo without finding out what had happened?” Yao Yue continued to question him coldly.

Mentor Mo was sunk. Clenching his teeth, he said, “Ye Mo crippled Yun Shan’s Energy Center and was extremely rude to me – already a death penalty in itself. I am merely acting on behalf of the Legal Division in executing him.”

“You, a lowly Outer League Mentor, acting on behalf of the Legal Division,” Yao Yue said mockingly.

“Yes, indeed, it was a mistake. But this Ye Mo crippled Yun Shan’s Energy Center, so he still has to be submitted to the Legal Division.” Mentor Mo’s initial arrogant tone had completely disappeared, but he was still excessively hard on this issue.

Ye Mo had publicly crippled Yun Shan in the Martial Training Hall; he had to be responsible for it.

Ye Mo slowly walked forward, flashing Yao Yue a smile, before saying, “I will naturally submit myself to the Legal Division. However, I am still going to claim and exchange these 120 spirit essences. Yun Shan said that I do not possess the strength to kill so many armored spirits and collect their essences. Those spirits were killed by me using Level Two Sky Thunder Seal. That should justify everything.”

A Level Two Sky Thunder Seal cost at least 50 Mixed Energy Pills. Using these seals to kill so many armored spirits would have required at least 10 of those seals. Furthermore, those seals were made from the energy cores of monsters belonging to the element of electricity. Those monsters were of high rarity to begin with.

But Mentor Mo did not have logic on his side. If Ye Mo was able to return from the City of Death alive, he must be of a certain level of strength.

Mentor Mo nodded his head calmly as he said, “You could almost give me a fight using that seal, which shows that you must possess the ability to kill an armored spirit and thus are allowed to exchange them for 12,000 league points. Zhang Mo, exchange the points for him.”

“Yes, sir!” said Zhang Mo as he transferred 12,000 league points into Ye Mo’s mission card. These were all kept track of in the Qingyun League by the old guards within the league. Ye Mo’s 120 spirit essences would be brought to the authorities for examination as well, so there was no way of faking anything.

Ye Mo collected back his mission card, looked at the numbers on it, and nodded.

“Ye Mo, do you accept me bringing you to the Legal Division?” She asked Ye Mo after seeing him successfully exchange his league points. Yao Yue was clear in differentiating reward and punishment.

“I only ask that the Qingyun League to give me a fair sentence.” Ye Mo had no objections.

“Good. Yun Shan is injured after having his Energy Center crippled. Bring him back for treatment first and do all you can to save him. When he recovers, he will join Ye Mo in going to the Legal Division to receive their punishment.”

Yun Shan was then carried away by two league members. As he passed Ye Mo, he gave him a piercing glare as if he wanted to kill him.

After today’s happenings, not only did he fail to sabotage Ye Mo, he also got his own Energy Center crippled. Even if he could make a full recovery, his level of training would still decrease greatly.

Yun Shan placed the blame for this occurrence, and his burning hatred, on Ye Mo.

“Ye Mo, if my Energy Center does not recover, even if the Qingyun League does not sentence you to death, your family will have a hard life. Based on the Yun Clan’s authority, it will be all too easy to investigate your family and clan background,” Yun Shan threatened.

“You are always welcome to visit the Limestone City!” Ye Mo smiled in response.

He was the city ruler of the City of Daughters; the whole city of women was under his command. All he had to do was send a few of the experts there to the Xiao Clan, and there would be nothing to fear if they ever had to face the Yun Clan, who could not even be considered a tier two clan in the Heaven’s Wall City.

After Yun Shan was carried away, Ye Mo, Li Suifeng, and their friends slowly left the Martial Training Hall as well.

However, all of them knew in their heart that once Yun Shan’s injuries recovered, Ye Mo would be sent to the Legal Division to receive this punishment. Whether he would be dead or alive after that remained an unknown.

Just as they were about to leave for Spirit Mountain, Ye Mo was stopped by Yao Yue who approached him from behind.

“The three of you, return to the Spirit Mountain Cave to continue training. I have some things to discuss with Ye Mo,” Yao Yue said.

Li Suifeng and company nodded their heads, puzzled, and Ling Xue stole a glance at Yao Yue with a jealous look on her face. While she did not know why Yao Yue wanted to talk to Ye Mo in private, based on the instincts of a woman, she could tell that the relationship between Ye Mo and Yao Yue was certainly unusual.

Looking at the shadows of Yao Yue and Ye Mo as they left, Li Suifeng smiled and said, “Ling Xue, you are not hiding your jealousy well. Looks like the Pride of the Heavens can also get jealous.”

“Shut up! Who’s jealous?” Ling Xue pouted adorably.

“Sister Ling Xue, Ye Mo may be unique, but Sister Yao Yue is even more so. I heard that her status in the Qingyun League is extremely special – there’s a long line of elite league members who are her admirers, from the Inner League all the way to the Spirit Mountain. Even a couple of the top league members are extremely fond of her. However, Sister Yao Yue has been cold towards everyone. If she was really interested in Ye Mo, she wouldn’t have sentenced him to the Legal Division,” Tong Qian said.

“Hmm, then let us return and focus on our training and aim to make a breakthrough to the Energy Shaping Second Realm.” Ridden of her worries, Ling Xue was in a much better mood as she happily skipped towards the Spirit Mountain.

Yao Yue brought Ye Mo to a temple. This temple was built on the surface of a lake with all four sides surrounded by peaceful waves, creating a seemingly endless view.

This temple had a unique aura to it. It was even grander than the City Government, and its appearance gave out a bright glow.

Other than the temple, there was an Energy Gathering Formation. On top of the formation, the atmosphere was extremely thick, even reaching the level of being sticky. It was obvious that this Energy Gathering Formation was of an extremely high level.

One could describe training inside this formation as travelling a thousand miles in a day.

“Ye Mo, this is the training area for elite league members. Every elite league member owns a place like this. I flew you to this area but had it been any other league member attempting to enter my training area, the waves of the lake would have attacked the intruder, triggering a Seal Formation. Even fighters in the True Energy Realm will find it difficult to invade my training area,” Yao Yue said calmly.

“This place is indeed an ideal place for training!” Ye Mo said with an involuntary gasp of surprise.

“In your heart, do you blame me for not being able to protect you? Based on my status, to dismiss your responsibility for what you had done would not have been that difficult.” Yao Yue looked towards the lake surface, allowing the gentle wind to hit her. The winds blew against her moon white robe, revealing the outline of Yao Yue’s body.

At that moment, even Ye Mo could not help but stare in shock. This woman was indeed a beauty among women, carrying a sense of isolation with her. People got lost in her beauty.

“For you, Sister Yao Yue, to save me at the Unbreakable Mountain, it already shows that your heart is not like your personality. I crippled Yun Shan’s Energy Center, so I deserve to be punished. If you cover for me like this, it may instead attract rumors and gossip,” said Ye Mo.

“Tell me, how strong is your actual true strength? You managed to save me at the Skylight City and have a suspicious killer instinct. I do not believe that you are a mere league member.”
