Ye Changsheng immediately put the Dimensional Bracelet away while an odd look flashed across his face. He seemed somewhat flustered. “Of course this is my own Dimensional Bracelet. Just accept your punishment. I am going to return to Limestone City in glory now,” Ye Changsheng said and left with a flick of his sleeve.

“I can’t allow this to happen. I need to go meet Master Xuan Ji as soon as I can. That Ye Changsheng is totally impersonating me.” Ye Mo was extremely anxious. The moment Ye Changsheng returned to Limestone City, Xiao Yuanshan, who had entered the True Energy Realm relying solely on a True Energy Pill, would definitely not be a worthy opponent for him. Xiao Clan’s destruction was imminent.

“Senior brother, can I ask you for something?” Ye Mo asked.

The elder league member shook his head. “Sorry, but Master Xuan Ji said that my mission is only to guard you while awaiting further orders from her.”

“Damn it. That Xuan Ji is so infuriating!” Ye Mo clenched his teeth in anger. But whenever he thought of how she had done all this for the sake of protecting Ye Qing’s son, he could not bring himself to hate her.

“Brother Ye Mo, it will be impossible for you to convince Xuan Ji. She has long assumed that Ye Changsheng was you. Even if you tell her that you are the actual son of Ye Qing, she might not believe you. Ye Changsheng will need some time to reach Limestone City. Our only way out is to accept the Five Elements Punishment and rush over to Limestone City and save the Xiao Clan,” Ling’er suggested, her tone anxious as well.

“Master Xuan Ji commands that, as the killer of Xue Xiu, Song Yang, and the others, his sin cannot be forgiven. An answer needs to be given to the three leagues and the kingdom. Ye Mo shall immediately receive the Five Elements Punishment. If he can survive the Five Punishments Tower, his life will be spared but he will be expelled from the Qingyun League,” a crisp voice announced outside the tower.

Ye Mo’s eyes lit up. Finally, the Five Elements Punishment was coming.

“Ye Mo, take care. I am leaving. Let me remind you that so long as you reach the fifth level, which is the level of the gold element, you will be able to find an exit there. But…” The elder league member sighed as he spoke. “Escaping the Five Punishments Tower will be no easy feat.”

Bang!

The door closed heavily and loudly. Ye Mo immediately stood up. With a shake of his body, the Energy Needles sealing his meridians immediately shattered.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a rumbling sound began on the earth element level. Ye Mo raised his head and saw that a huge earth element formation had appeared above him. The formation was filled with black clouds, and gray bolts of lightning could vaguely be seen interweaving among the clouds.

Bam!

A bolt of lightning struck Ye Mo. Instantly, a berserk surge of lightning spread across Ye Mo’s body. Ye Mo felt like his entire body, including his bones, muscles, and cells, were being stabbed by countless needles.

“Ah!” Ye Mo yelled miserably and, after spinning several times in the air, he crashed onto the ground.

This so-called Five Elements Punishment was the Five Elements Lightning. Those capable of enduring the Five Elements Lightning stood to gain a lot. However, the Five Elements Lightning was very powerful. Not even True Energy Realm warriors dared to face it. Therefore, it was subsequently turned into a form of punishment.

The earth element specialized in defense while the wood attribute specialized in control. The two elements were followed by water, fire, and, finally, the gold element. The higher one went, the stronger the element would be.

The lightning of the earth attribute was the weakest of the five elements, but even the weakest element was able to greatly injure Ye Mo with a single strike. Ye Mo immediately activated his Rising Dragon Pillar to absorb the lightning power within his body to reduce the numbing feeling. However, the lightning was too powerful. Its sudden attack had done grave damage to Ye Mo. He might still be able to survive one strike, but he might not be able to survive another.

“Even with the Rising Dragon Pillar, I won’t be able to survive this lightning.” Ye Mo struggled to get to his feet and wiped the blood off his lips. He then glanced at the stairs leading up to the second floor that housed the wood element. The lightning there would definitely be scarier than the lightning here. “Screw it. I’ll charge ahead to the next floor anyways!”

Ye Mo unfurled his wings and formed his Dragon Armor before charging straight towards the stairs.

Bam!

Yet another gray lightning bolt struck Ye Mo. He quickly wrapped his wings around himself as a form of protection.

Bang!

One single strike was sufficient to destroy both his wings and armor. The lightning proceeded to enter his body and started wreaking havoc there.

“Ah!” Ye Mo tried his best to endure the lightning power. He only needed to last a little bit longer to enter the second floor. “I must persevere! If the Xiao Clan is destroyed by Ye Changsheng, I won’t be able to forgive myself!” The additional 2,000 streams of Dragon Power within his body activated to replenish his Dragon Power. Once again, he formed his wings and Dragon Armor.

Bam!

Yet another bolt of lightning struck Ye Mo, destroying his wings and armor once again.

“Brother Ye Mo!” Tears welled up in Ling’er’s eyes as she watched on.

The lightning destroyed his wings and armor again and again. Finally, the Dragon Power within him was completely depleted, leaving only the Five-Elements Energy behind. If even the Dragon Power could not survive the lightning, what could the Five-Elements Energy do?

“Is this how it ends? This Five Punishments Tower is indeed no walk in the park.” When Ye Mo sensed the depletion of his Dragon Power, he started despairing.

“Brother Ye Mo, Ling’er will die alongside you!” Just as Ling’er was about to charge out, she saw that the earth element monkey within the Five Elements Energy Core had started howling. “Brother Ye Mo, there is hope!” Right after she said that, yet another earth element lightning bolt struck Ye Mo.

This time, Ye Mo did not feel the painful surge of lightning inside his body. Rather, he felt like he was bathing in spring rain as the lightning headed straight towards the earth element monkey. The monkey had taken this attack on behalf of Ye Mo. Bolt after bolt descended, and the monkey resisted every strike.

“Brother Ye Mo, that earth monkey is making use of the earth element lightning to refine its body!” Ling’er said in excitement.

Ye Mo had evidently sensed this as well. His eyes lit up, and the despair within his heart vanished. He started laughing loudly. “Haha, the heavens never turns anybody away! I never expected that the Five-Elements Energy would be useful at a time like this.”

“This is excellent. That monkey seems to find the lightning enjoyable,” Ling’er said in excitement.

“Since that is the case, I might not need to fear all five levels of lightning. They might prove helpful in refining the monkeys of the five elements,” Ye Mo said with a nod. “Looking at how the earth monkey is behaving, the pain should end soon. Time to enter the second floor.”

At the Xuan Ji Sub-League, a woman in a black robe slowly walked towards the headquarters of the Xuan Ji Sub-League. When the league members on guard duty saw her, they immediately greeted her deferentially, “Master Xuan Ji.”

She acknowledged their greeting with a murmur before walking inside.

That’s not right. Master Xuan Ji was clearly in the meeting hall. All the higher-ups of the Qingyun League are pleading for Ye Mo. Why would Master Xuan Ji be outside? The league member mused before the look on his face was replaced by shock. “She is not Master Xuan Ji!” But by the time they realized this, the woman had already vanished from their sight.
