Chapter 324: Imposing

Tianwu Kingdom, Heaven’s Wall City, Imperial Palace.

Imperial Hall, Universe Palace.

Within the lavish palace, an ethereal figure walked leisurely towards the Universe Palace with about a dozen palace maids behind her.

She had a gorgeous body, alluring appearance, and her hair was styled elegantly. She wore a robe with a phoenix design on it, and a pair of phoenix earrings hung from her earlobes. Slowly, the earrings swayed, creating clinking sounds. She had a graceful demeanor, and each motion she made radiated an air of nobility. When the woman reached the Universe Palace, a palace maid ran ahead and knelt in front of her.

“Empress!” The palace maid greeted as she kowtowed.

This woman was the official wife of the emperor and the younger sister of Cao Zhengchun, Cao Xueji, the empress of the Tianwu Kingdom.

“Is the emperor here?” The empress glanced at the palace maid.

“The emperor went out. He told me to tell you that he is going to train to gain some experience for a bit and will only show himself during the league war,” the palace maid said deferentially.

When the empress heard this, she frowned. His claim that he was training to gain experience was in fact the emperor cultivating through adventuring. Although he was already at the Transcendence Realm and was the number one fighter of Tianwu Kingdom, he was still completely engrossed in cultivation.

In any case, there were no limits on martial pursuit. Each time the emperor went adventuring, he would play a different character within Tianwu Kingdom and through that role, he would be able to gain comprehension of some new will.

Will was not something one might not have even if one was strong. However, the more aura one comprehended and fused together, the stronger one would be.

Five years ago, the emperor took on the role of an old man in the Spirit Devour Realm. Ultimately, during his adventures, he defeated all the Spirit Devour Realm elites in Tianwu Kingdom and had comprehended a new will during this process.

Two years ago, he took on the role of an old man at True Energy Realm and defeated warriors in the Heaven’s Gate Realm, comprehending a new will then, too.

“With Tianqiong’s strength, nobody would be able to recognize him when he went out adventuring. I have no choice but to wait until the league war to see him,” the empress muttered before leaving the Universe Palace.

With the Luosha Token, Ye Mo and Yao Yue had successfully escaped the Luosha Prison. The two stood on top of a mountain peak, staring forward with the breeze brushing against them.

“Senior Sister Yao Yue, take care. I will definitely come look for you when I’ve completed what I need to do.”

During The Battle of Yidao, Ye Qing had been wounded and had his Energy Center sealed. Therefore, it was understandable that Ye Mo had to investigate this and seek revenge for his father. In any case, he also needed to look for his mother to fulfill Ye Qing’s last wish.

The two were about to part ways soon, and it was unknown when they would meet again. This was unavoidable as they had no other choice.

“Thank you, Ye Mo.” Yao Yue gently pecked Ye Mo’s forehead with her lips before she continued, “I will take good care of myself. The moment I reach a sufficient level in my cultivation, I will come help you.”

None of them voiced their feelings for each other, yet both were clear about how they elt towards each other. Staring at Yao Yue’s departing back, a layer of mist covered Ye Mo’s eyes. Suddenly, he recalled that this was also how Xiao Yue had left.

“When will I be stronger enough so that my woman will not have to leave me one after another?” When he could no longer see Yao Yue, Ye Mo started traveling through the forest to reach the road towards Heaven’s Wall City.

When he’d killed Cao Sanshi, Ye Mo was in disguise. Therefore, even if his escape had been discovered, nobody would be able to find him. The 300 feet surrounding the Heaven’s Wall City and the hamlets within this area were filled with criss-crossed roads, with each road large enough to fit about a dozen carriages side by side.

Beside the Heaven’s Wall City was an expansive river called the Tianshui River. This river was also the water source of the Heaven’s Wall City.

Suddenly, Ye Mo’s ears twitched. “There seems to be an intense fight going on at Tianshui River.” He dashed straight towards the river.

The Tianshui River was wide and its current rapid. On both sides of the river were vast sandy shores. Reeds grew all over the shore. As Ye Mo was dashing towards the river, he sensed an intense Yuanli undulation from a certain spot on the shore. He immediately stopped and saw about 20 people attacking a woman.

Those people were dressed in black, and each of them were in the Energy Shaping Realm. Each of them had their clone out, surrounding the woman. Many of them were Energy Shaping Eight Realm warriors, and Ye Mo could sense that a number of them were Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors as well.

“These people are of the average strength of Eight and Ninth realms yet they are all working together against a woman?” After reaching the Seventh Realm, Ye Mo’s perception had grown stronger. With a single glance, he was already able to detect the strength of those individuals.

The woman being attacked was dressed in white with a sword in hand. The sword was shining with a gold radiance with numerous streams of sword qi shooting out before combining into a huge golden phoenix that scattered her attackers.

What attracted Ye Mo’s attention was the fact that the golden sword seemed to possess intelligence of its own. While it was being brandished, it buzzed without stopping. Clearly, this was a Spirit Weapon.

“It’s actually a Spirit Weapon. This woman is only at the Energy Shaping Eight Realm. Although she has a Spirit Weapon, she still won’t be a match for a huge group like this.”

The group of black-clothed people continued bombarding the woman with various techniques. The woman retreated without stop until finally, she only had the river behind her. She could no longer retreat now as she would fall into the river if she continued retreating.

“Hehe, leader, if I recall correctly, she is the princess. I saw her before. She is the sole sister of the emperor. The sword she is using is a Spirit Weapon, the Phoenix Sword,” one of them said when he saw that the princess no longer had a path of retreat.

“The moment I saw that weapon, I knew it was a Spirit Weapon. So she’s actually a princess? Well, we can capture both the person and wealth this time.”

The leader walked towards the woman one step at a time. While licking his lips, he spoke, “O noble princess, you should have stayed in the Heaven’s Wall City. Our Vicious Tiger Triad has been forced into desperation by your Imperial Guards. It is quite a surprise that we have the good luck to stumble upon you.”

“Vicious Tiger Triad? The most notorious rebels of Tianwu Kingdom? You dare touch me? Are you tired of living?” The woman spoke sharply, her every action emanating the bearing of a ruler.

“Hmph. Today is our lucky day. Although the Heaven’s Wall City is near, this place is still quite remote. We will capture you right here and bring you back for the brothers to have some fun. Let’s see how different a princess tastes compared to normal women,” said the leader with a sinister smile.

Right after he spoke, numerous streams of golden sword qi shot at his group. All his subordinates were transformed into mists of blood while the various clones exploded right where they stood.

This attack was extremely strange. When the princess saw this, she was first shocked before she started pouting. Again, a golden sword qi shot towards the leader. He quickly formed an energy shield in his shock. When the sword qi and the shield clashed, they both exploded while the leader was forced several steps backward.

“Who is it? Show yourself if you have the guts. Let us fight!” The leader shouted in desperation.

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang in the air. “Are you even worthy of being my opponent?” A mad in a gold robe appeared. He had no wings behind him. Rather, he stepped on empty air as he approached and landed before the princess.

“You dare attack a princess of Tianwu Kingdom? What gives you the courage to do this?”

“This person is obviously an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. Why does he have such a powerful presence? Not even I have such a powerful presence.”

Hiding amid the reeds, Ye Mo’s astonishment grew. This was the first time he saw a warrior with such a powerful presence.
