Chapter 211: Inner League Advancement

“What did you say, kid? You dare insult an elder of the Martial Saint Hall? You must be tired of living,” Elder Zi Long said. Just as he was about to capture Ye Mo, a green silhouette appeared with a flicker. Then, a berserk gust of wind swept forward and sent Elder Zi Long flying several dozen yards backward. He only stopped when he reached the main hall. A moment later, Elder Feng appeared beside Ye Mo with his hands clasped behind him. Fury filled his face.

“Zi Long, are you tired of living? You dare lay your hands on my disciple? I have been observing the situation here from outside the Martial Saint Hall all along. I saw everything clearly. My disciple only wanted to take the advancement assessment yet not only have you people of Xuan Ji Sub-League stopped him, you are even attacking him?” Elder Feng spoke coldly.

“Haha, Elder Feng, this is purely a misunderstanding. There is no need to escalate this, right?” In the main hall, a different Martial Saint Hall elder walked over and said with a faint smile on his face.

Elder Feng was naturally unwilling to escalate things with the people of Xuan Ji Sub-League. Therefore, he merely snorted coldly and said, “My disciple is advancing today. Feel free to assess him.”

“Haha, there is no need for any assessment. Although we haven’t personally witnessed the fight earlier, him surviving one round against Xue Xiu is proof that he already has the combat strength of a Energy Shaping Fourth Realm. Forget about the assessment,” the other elder spoke flatteringly with a smile on his face.

This Elder Feng was known as a person who was incredibly protective. He had once accepted a disciple in the past as well. The people who had touched his disciple had all suffered badly.

“Give Ye Mo the Inner League uniform and Mission Card.”

The Mission Card would be a symbol of Ye Mo’s status. The Inner League Mission Card was silver. As for the Elite League Mission Card, it was gold. After taking the silver card, Ye Mo confirmed that there were indeed 2,000 league points on it.

At the Divine Wind Pavilion, Elder Feng asked with a frown, “Disciple, have you offended that girl Xuan Ji? Why does she keep making trouble for you?”

“She’s not the one who is making troubles for me. It’s that Ye Changsheng. He wants to kill me. By extension, since he is the darling of League Chief Xuan Ji, it is natural for her to send some people to create trouble for me on his behalf,” Ye Mo answered.

“That will make things difficult. That girl Xuan Ji is very strong and her status is very high as well. Even the league leader won’t do anything to her. The only reason she hadn’t made a move personally is because she does not want to lower her status to deal with someone like you. But you are now totally an enemy of that Xue Xiu. Both of you are Inner League members. You have to be careful,” Elder Feng reminded him.

“Don’t worry, Master. I fought him before. So long as I reach Energy Shaping Second Realm, I will be a match for him,” Ye Mo stated confidently.

Looking at the confident Ye Mo, Elder Feng shook his head and said, “He wasn’t trying his best when fighting you earlier. Moreover, he is capable of using the Crimson Wings. With the wings, he can directly fly into the air. It won’t be that easy for you to beat him.”

Energy Shaping Fifth Realm’s function was to strengthen a person’s internal qualities such as the internal organs. As for the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, it would allow a person to form a pair of energy wings with their origin energy, thus enabling flight.

One person would be on the ground while the other would be flying on the air. How is the person on the ground supposed to fight? Ye Mo thought in astonishment.

“Heh heh, disciple, Master has no idea why you can fight someone of a higher realm and is not interested in knowing why. But you have great potential within you. You might be able to surpass even my previous disciple. By the way, his surname is Ye as well,” Elder Feng continued speaking.

Ye Mo’s heart throbbed when he heard this, “Was he Ye Qing?”

“Oh?” Elder Feng was somewhat flabbergasted. He then asked, “You know him as well?”

Ye Mo immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times. “I am actually Ye Qing’s son, Ye Mo. Master, please accept Ye Mo’s kowtow.”

Elder Feng was shocked as well. He immediately helped Ye Mo to his feet and asked, “You are Qing’er’s son?”

“Yes. My father is Ye Qing, the person once known as the number one genius of Tianwu Kingdom. Unfortunately, he is now dead,” Ye Mo said while wiping his tears.

“Qing’er is dead?” When Elder Feng heard this, it was as if he had instantly aged for more than 10 years. In disbelief, he asked, “After his defeat at the Battle of Yidao, I had once secretly visited him at the Ye Clan. At that time, he only had his energy center destroyed. How had he died?”

Ye Mo started telling Elder Feng everything that had happened. As Elder Feng listened, he slumped onto his chair weakly, as if all his strength was gone.

“Master, what actually happened to my father? Was he killed by the emperor?” Ye Mo asked.

Elder Feng’s expression shifted. He quickly checked their surroundings before saying solemnly, “Ye Mo, do not speak these words lightly. In Tianwu Kingdom, the emperor is the god, the supreme existence. Any words of dishonor towards the emperor will be met with annihilation.”

“Annihilation? One can never live under the same sky as the killer of one’s father. If my father is really dead because of the emperor, I will kill him even if I have to face annihilation,” Ye Mo declared furiously.

“You have the same temper as your father.” Elder Feng shook his head and sighed. “I don’t know who is the culprit for your father’s death. Back then, your father had a supreme strength at the level of the Transcendence Realm. The one capable of killing him would definitely be someone beyond the Transcendence Realm. It is pointless to talk about this for now. What you need to do now is focus on increasing your own strength.”

Ye Mo nodded in acknowledgement. He then said, “Master, I want to become a Chief Elect in one year.”

“Chief Elect in one year?”

“Yes. This is a personal goal of mine. Master, is there a way to quickly increase my strength?” Ye Mo asked.

“There is only one way to quickly grow in strength. Do more missions, specifically the bounty missions directly issued by the Qingyun League. But only Elite League members can accept these missions. Unfortunately, you are still not strong enough to become an Elite League member; the Qingyun League would never let you take these missions,” Elder Feng explained.

The three major leagues each represent a different faction with the leader of the three leagues being in secret partnership with the different major ministers of Tianwu Kingdom. Together, they formed a balance of three factions, with the emperor reigning above all.

These bounty missions were unlike the regular missions where one only needed to go to some dangerous location to kill some beasts. Rather, these missions were true assassination missions, with the target being the various ministers, generals, and nobles of Tianwu Kingdom.

These important subjects of the throne were almost always guarded by experts. Assassinating them was extremely difficult and if one failed the assassination, the assassin might be shot to death by arrows or might be cut to death by blades. Ye Mo had heard of these bounty missions before. He knew that they were extremely dangerous. However, it was precisely because of the danger that these missions would also help him increase his strength in the shortest time possible. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to become an Elite League member and could only forget this for now.

“Master, are there any spirit weapons in the League Points Hall of Qingyun Leagues? It will be even better if there was a spirit rod,” Ye Mo asked. The Blood Lord Spear had been hidden in the secret compartment for so long. It was most probably very furious by now. Now that Ye Mo had some free time, he was trying to find a perfect shaft for the Blood Sky Spear. With a complete Sky Blood Spear on his hands, he would be able to erupt with the strongest combat power.

A magic weapon would not work as the shaft. In the future, the Sky Blood Spear still needed to grow beyond the spirit weapon grade. Therefore, only a spirit weapon could be used as its shaft.

“Spirit weapons are extremely rare. Even the League Points Hall would not have any. But not long ago, when I was chatting with the league leader, he mentioned a location to me, the grave of Saint Skyburn. The weapon he used when he was alive was a high grade spirit weapon. It was rumored that his weapon was a rod called the Primordial Gold Stick.”
