Chapter 347: Testing the Waters

Receiving Qi Ying’s answer, Ye Mo left the Heaven’s Wall City. Xiao Cao was still fine. So long as he kills Cao Zheng during the League War, the issue of marriage will naturally be forfeited.

Directly using a Transportation Formation, he entered the Qingyun League. As he walked out from the formation, he overheard a conversation between the few league members who were guarding the Transportation Formation.

“The Xuan Ji sub-league is deciding on its league chief elect tomorrow. Anyone under the age of 20 in the True Energy Realm will be able to become a league chief elect of the Xuan Ji sub-league.”

“Reaching the True Energy Realm under the age of 20, is there a league member like that in the Xuan Ji sub-league?”

“Let me tell you, Xuan Ji sub-league’s Ye Changsheng is already halfway into the True Energy Realm. Due to the fact that he has cultivated the Hellfire Pearl and already possesses the Hellfire Physique, as well as being in possession of a spiritual weapon, he is able to just make the cut for the True Energy Realm.”

“Indeed. League Chief Xuan Ji is determined to let Ye Changsheng represent the Xuan Ji sub-league to compete. So long as he becomes a league chief elect, there is still a month’s time left. Maybe Master Xuan Ji will think of a way to make Ye Changsheng advance to the True Energy Realm. When that happens, I’m afraid no one in the True Energy Realm will be able to best him.”

A few league members stood beside the formation, engaged in their conversation.

Ye Mo’s heart shook as he heard every detail clearly. Firstly, the Xuan Ji sub-league will be deciding its league chief elect, who will be participating in the League War. Secondly, Ye Changsheng ultimately still managed to train to halfway to the True Energy Realm.

Ye Mo’s eyebrows twitched as he realized that he came back at the perfect time. After a few moments deep in thought, he immediately flew off and away from the Transportation Formation.

Expanding his Giant Dragon Wings, Ye Mo did not bother keeping a low profile as he glided across the Outer League arena and flew towards the Inner League.

Just as Ye Mo flew into the Inner League, a voice was suddenly heard, “Ye Mo, you are finally back. Come here and let’s talk.”

“Hmm?”

Ye Mo was stunned for a moment initially. This voice could not be any more familiar – it was Ye Changsheng.

He was spotted by Ye Changsheng the moment he stepped into the Qingyun League. Had he been waiting for him for a long time?

“This Ye Changsheng already has one foot in the True Energy Realm. What other motives does he have, trying to find me? Don’t tell me he’s going to show off his martial prowess in front of me again? If I get the chance tomorrow, I will definitely kill him off.”

A flash of murderous intent sparkled across Ye Mo’s eyes. This Ye Changsheng had repeatedly tried to sabotage him. When the chance arose, he would not hesitate to kill him.

Ye Mo stopped in the air, unable to find any sign of Ye Changsheng in the surroundings. It seemed that he was using a soundwave-based martial technique that locked onto him so only he could hear this voice.

“Ye Changsheng, speak quickly. What evil scheme are you trying to use to sabotage me again?”

“Evil scheme? I think you’re the one with the evil schemes. Let you tell you, you are already in big trouble. If you want to know what it is about, come to the Purple Forest in the Inner League.” Ye Changsheng’s voice was heard again.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Mo responded, but Ye Changsheng did not reply. He had no choice but to head towards the Inner League’s Purple Forest.

As he entered the forest, he saw a man clad in fiery red clothing. This Ye Changsheng had evidently completely cultivated the Hellfire technique, with even his attire changing as well.

Ye Mo swooped down and descended, his landing akin to a cannonball smashing the ground. The ground trembled slightly as the purple bamboo shoots shook, shaking off plenty of bamboo leaves.

“Good training. Who would’ve thought that you’ve already reached the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm?” Ye Changsheng turned around as he looked at Ye Mo. A flame-like symbol could be seen in his eyes, resembling a Hellfire symbol.

“Ye Changsheng, speak if you need to. Are you scared that I will ruin your show tomorrow as I pummel you into defeat? You being hand-picked by the Xuan Ji League Chief, I already know the gist of what is going on. After tomorrow, you will be a dead man.”

Ye Mo focused on his surroundings as he did a sweeping scan, attempting to spot any signs of an ambush.

“I’ll be a dead man? Haha, what do you know? I have been waiting for you to return to the Qingyun League. Speak, why did you kill Song Yang and Xie Xiu?”

Ye Changsheng’s words hit Ye Mo like a lightning strike.

“What? Killing Song Yang, killing Xie Xiu, what do you mean?”

Ye Mo was taken aback, but his facial expression did not reveal anything.

“What do I mean? You killed Song Yang at the Skyburn Mountain Range. As for Xie Xiu, he was definitely killed by you outside of the Qingyun League as well. That Li Tianhe had the nerve to lie in front of my face, telling me that Xie Xiu was killed by the Yin Poison Society. I’ve already sent my men to investigate – the Yin Poison Society was already wiped out by some strong fighter before Xie Xiu left. Li Tianhe has also already admitted that you were the one who killed Xie Xiu.” Ye Changsheng’s tone became gradually sterner, each word and each sentence threatening to give Ye Mo the death penalty.

Killing comrades of the same league was a huge taboo in the Qingyun League. Song Yang’s death rattled the three major leagues as well.

“What a load of nonsense.” Ye Mo immediately cut Ye Changsheng off, as he said mockingly, “Ye Changsheng, you are already halfway to the True Energy Realm. Do you really have to resort to these low tactics to defeat me? Trying to blame all their deaths on me – don’t tell me, you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you are under League Chief Xuan Ji’s protection?”

“Haha, why would I come and find you if I didn’t have evidence?”

Ye Changsheng let out a big laugh and gave Ye Mo a death stare as he said, “When Song Yang headed towards the Skyburn Mountain Range, you were also there. When something happened to Xie Xiu, you were also not in the Qingyun League. Are these not enough to prove something?”

“What do those prove? Do you have actual evidence that I killed Song Yang and Xie Xiu?” Ye Mo laughed coldly, keeping his composure as he said, “Speaking of which, I have yet to settle things with you for sending Xie Xiu to kill me.”

“Settle things with me?” Ye Changsheng laughed as he continued speaking, “You definitely killed Song Yang. It was perfect timing that you had a breakthrough in your training, allowing you to be strong enough to kill Song Yang. As for Xie Xiu, you must have controlled Li Tianhe in secret, causing him to be afraid of exposing you. All of your movements and actions are within my control. If I report this incident, you will be dead for sure. However, if you help me complete a task, I may consider letting you off. You will even be able to continue living your life as an elite league member without any worries.”

“Hahaha, you are going to report me? There is a limit to wishful thinking. Let me tell you, Ye Changsheng, your arrogant days are limited. Tomorrow, I will defeat you and destroy any wishful thinking of yours. As for the Ye Family, they will also be destroyed by the Xiao Family and completely vanish from this land.”

“You!” Seeing that Ye Mo was unable to be swayed, Ye Changsheng held back a wave of anger as he said, “Ye Mo, stop daydreaming. My current strength level cannot be compared to that of the past. I know you have moves that exceed your realm – as an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter, you could probably kill fighters in the Ninth Realm. However, my strength is almost reaching the True Energy Realm. You will not be able to defeat me no matter what. Furthermore, you do not have the right to challenge me either.”

“If that’s the case, let’s see how things go tomorrow. Either you die, or I die.”

Ye Mo said, ignoring Ye Changsheng as he slowly left.
