Chapter 632: Double Hero Cooperation

“I have no interest in working with a member of the Demon City.” Ye Mo rejected the offer – he belonged to the Door of Desolation and was unwilling to work with anyone from the Demon City.

“Ye Mo, I feel that you have too much of a bias towards people of the Demon City.” Mo Longzi smiled.

Ye Mo wasn’t even 20 years old – it was normal for him to be misled.

“The people of the Demon City have committed so many heinous deeds, of course, I wouldn’t want to work with you!”

“We committed heinous deeds?” Mo Longzi asked. “Any more than what the Door of Desolation has committed? The devils of the Demon City are bloodthirsty beings who would kill without blinking an eye, right? That’s how the Door of Desolation sees us? But that’s exactly how we see you. There’s no right or wrong in this world, no such thing as who’s just or who’s evil. Can you say that you’ve never killed anyone before? Never killed an innocent man who didn’t deserve it?”

Mo Longzi smiled as he continued, “Living on this land, there’s no such thing as justice, only self-interest. If we don’t have a clash in interest, we can work together just fine. When we find ourselves standing at the peak, isn’t that when we can decide who’s right and who’s wrong, based on our strength? Now, all we can do is work within the rules and do our best to become stronger.”

Mo Longzi’s words were enlightening. In this world, there was no right or wrong. Everyone wanted the Mountain and River Diagram, there was nothing wrong in someone snatching it from another because they were of superior strength.

But there was a part of Mo Longzi’s speech that rankled Ye Mo – the part where he said that there was only self-interest in this world. Ye Mo believed that this world was still filled with friendship, kinship, and love.

“Ye Mo, there is indeed no right or wrong in this world,” Hong Ling said. “Even if the Young Master wants to kill you, he’s not in the wrong. He’s stronger than you, and stands above you in terms of the rules.”

“Alright, I’ll agree to work with you,” Ye Mo said calmly. “But what do you want me to do?”

“The First Heaven Society is plotting an invasion into the Demon City,” Mo Longzi said. “They’re extremely ambitious. I want you to help me destroy the First Heaven Society. You’ll be inside while I’ll be on the outside.”

“I’m not strong enough to help you, now,” Ye Mo replied.

“Yes, you are,” Mo Longzi said. “You were able to kill Mo Tian, which means that your true strength should be in the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm. You should have Mo Tian’s Demon Diety Ring too, right? I’ll help you remove the encryption from the ring, and I believe that it’ll help beyond your wildest dreams. Your strength will increase a tier further. But if you want to defeat Chu Tian, it ultimately still depends on your own training. If you can become a Saint, you’ll be able to enter the Desolate Mountain. What I need from you is intel from the inside.”

“Intel?” Ye Mo was somewhat curious.

“That’s right. The Young Master of the Door of Desolation wasn’t content with his position and decided to form his own clan, with the idea of completely colonizing the Zone of Desolation, an ambition that includes invading the Demon City. That’s why we need you to do a proper investigation – how many elders are part of the First Heaven Society, and how strong are they? And find out where the master of the Door of Desolation is.”

“As long as I can get into the Door of Desolation, that won’t be a problem.” Ye Mo nodded.

“Alright. Also, you have to stop the First Heaven Society from getting the Devil Refining Gourd,” Mo Longzi said. “It would be best if you could make it disappear. As for you killing Mo Tian, I’ll blame Chu Tian, so you won’t have to worry about that.”

Mo Longzi continued saying, “Take out the Demon Deity Ring, I’ll unlock the restrictions on it.”

“Alright!”

Ye Mo placed complete trust in Mo Longzi. Having said so much, there was no point of him lying. He took out the Demon Deity Ring from the Xu Mi Ring and tossed it to Mo Longzi.

Mo Longzi merely tapped the Demon Deity Ring gently a few times before throwing it back to Ye Mo. He said, “I’ll treat this ring as your reward. Besides the sons of the Demon King, in the Demon World, only fighters in the Profound World Realm have the right to possess this kind of ring.”

Taking back the Demon Deity Ring, Ye Mo was in no hurry to inspect it. With the elimination match about to conclude, he had to quickly make his exit.

“The competition is about to end. I’ll take my leave.”

Ye Mo held his hands together towards Mo Longzi before displaying his Caged Dragon Powers and left in a flash, turning into a shadow before completely vanishing.

“Young Master, this is the third person that you’ve found to work with,” Mo Wuliang asked, worried. “Is he really strong enough? The First Heaven Society killed the last two the moment they entered the Desolate Mountain.”

“Hehe, he’s different from the last two,” Mo Longzi said. “He’s someone worthy to establish ties with. I believe that not only will he complete his task with flying colors, he’ll also become a threat to me in the future. But at least we are still working partners now. The only problem is their ranking tournament – it won’t be easy to defeat Chu Tian and become a Saint.”

He disappeared from where he stood. Mo Wuliang followed after him.

The three days of elimination competition finally came to an end. Everyone waited at the passageway to Purgatory. According to the rules of the competition, at noon of the day when the competition concluded, other participants weren’t allowed to steal from anyone waiting at the passageway.

Chu Tian and the other two had their eyes fixated on the seal cachet, miraculous looks all over their faces – they saw that Ye Mo’s name had yet to disappear, and remained in first place.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t Mo Longzi killed Ye Mo yet? Did Ye Mo manage to escape?” Liu Qingyun shocked. Returning here, they had nothing else to do other than to stare at the seal cachet and await Ye Mo’s downfall. But, not only did Ye Mo not fall, his points continued to increase, remaining firmly at the top.

“Impossible,” Chu Tian said. “With Mo Longzi’s strength, there’s no way that Ye Mo would be able to escape.”

“General Tian, even Chen Fan fell to Ye Mo,” Liu Qingyun said viciously. “There’s no such thing as impossible when it comes to him. He must have escaped from Mo Longzi. Darn it! If we had known about this, we wouldn’t have left first.”

“Ye Mo has arrived!” a voice said.

All eyes fell on Ye Mo. With Ye Mo first in the rankings, it was natural that everyone wanted a look. Furthermore, a lot of disciples knew that Ye Mo had gotten his points entirely by stealing from others.

“Ye Mo’s gifts are on another level. He managed to finish first in the Saint Elect Tournament before even spending a full year in the Door of Desolation. He’ll likely be able to become a Saint.”

“From a normal Six Dao Palace disciple to a Saint in less than a year. Tsk tsk, a performance like that is unprecedented.”

Ye Mo’s arrival attracted everyone’s attention. Finishing in first place was enough to prove his potential. Ye Mo was the brightest spark in the Six Dao Palace.

Looking at everyone’s shocked expressions, Ye Mo remained calm. He landed beside Taiyi Qinglian and quietly waited for the passageway to open up.

“Ye Mo, you’re alive?” Chu Tian said furiously.

“That Mo Longzi was too full of himself, and I found a loophole and managed to escape. Hehe, why? It won’t be that easy to kill me.”

“Hmph, don’t forget that there’s still the placement match. That’s when I’ll kill you with my bare hands. You can’t take the position of Saint from me.” Chu Tian’s eyes lit up in anger. Evidently, his determination to kill Ye Mo at all costs had solidified.
