The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 617 - I’m Sorry, Ye Mo

Chapter 617: I’m Sorry, Ye Mo

Looking at that familiar silhouette, the corner of Ye Mo’s lips turned into a smile as he followed it. Without a doubt, it was Xiao Yue.
The two of them met once in the Desolate Ancient World, promising that they would meet again. Xiao Yue had also hoped that by the next time she saw Ye Mo, he would be an elite fighter in the Transcendence Realm.
Ye Mo did it – he’d even advanced to the Second Tier, with his actual strength comparable to the Eighth. This was an unprecedented achievement, without a shadow of a doubt.
Whoosh!
Seeing what was happening, Ye Mo immediately flew over at high speeds. In two breaths’ time, Ye Mo caught up to her.
“Yue Yue, I missed you so much.” That was what Ye Mo wanted to say the most.
“Ye Mo, follow me, first.”
Seeing Ye Mo rush over, Xia Yue didn’t say much. Waving her hand, a pair of Gigantic Poison Phoenix Wings shook. She flew towards an extremely hidden place at rapid speed.
“Haha, what secret place are you planning to bring me for our date, Yue Yue?” Ye Mo’s heart was filled with delight. The two of them hadn’t seen each other for the longest time, and he missed her dearly.
If Qi Ying was the one who made Ye Mo start his training journey as a fighter, Xiao Yue was the one who had stolen Ye Mo’s heart. It was her who lent him a helping hand when he was at his lowest.
The two of them instantly arrived at a restaurant in the middle of the Desolate City.
Perhaps Xiao Yue had already opened a room, as she didn’t enter from the main door. Instead, she flew into the third floor’s room. Ye Mo followed behind.
“Yue Yue, you’ve already reserved a room for us. Are we going to have a long chat?” Ye Mo sat down and said cheekily. He could only talk like that in front of her.
“Ye Mo, you’re in big trouble.” Xiao Yue didn’t look happy. Her face was extremely serious.
“What’s going on?” Ye Mo asked. “Is this because I’ve killed some disciples of the Six Dao Palace?”
Ye Mo held nothing back and spoke directly. He didn’t believe that Xiao Yue would harm him.
In the past month, neither the Human Dao Palace or the Door of Desolation’s higher-ups nor the First Heaven Society had done anything. But Ye Mo knew that they were definitely planning something in secret.
During that month, his master, Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, came to visit him once, asking him not to leave the Door of Desolation for the time being. It was apparent that something big was about to happen.
“That’s right.” Xiao Yue frowned. “The Inner Peak of the Desolation Mountain held a conference recently, with plenty of elders of the Mixed Energy World present as well, as well as the Young Master. In this conference, there were almost nine different tiers of First Heaven Society authority, with most of the elders listing out your crimes one by one.”
Ye Mo walked forward slowly. He knew that Xiao Yue had been by the Young Master’s side all this time – perhaps the Young Master still had some feelings for her. But Ye Mo dared not expose that. At the moment, Ye Mo had no way to change anything in this game of chess.
He slowly embraced Xiao Yue, feeling her petite figure and her warmth as he said, “Yue Yue, I’veworried you. Those Human Dao Palace disciples were from the First Heaven Society – they’ve had their eyes on me for the longest time. Furthermore, the Young Master is the leader of the First Heaven Society. I know that they had set a target on me from the start. Now that I have the Mountain and River Diagram and the Sky Blood Spear, I’m afraid the only reason I’ve been able to make it till now is due to Master.”
“You knew everything already?” Xiao Yue was somewhat surprised. The fact that the Young Master was the leader of the First Heaven Society was supposed to be secret.
“Yes, so what’s the final decision of the conference?” Ye Mo asked.
“Ye Mo, this time, even though the Young Master is after you, your master has been retaliating,” Xiao Yue said. “They remain unsatisfied, so they’ve decided that in a month, they will be hosting a Saint Elect Tournament, with the elimination match’s location in Purgatory as usual.”
“Saint Elect Tournament? Isn’t that only held once every three years?” Ye Mo was shocked. The next Saint Elect Tournament was due to be held next year, and if everything went smoothly, Mu Sang would be able to become an official saint, becoming an ultimate disciple of the Desolate Mountain.
The Six Dao Palace disciples weren’t true disciples of the Desolate Mountain – only disciples of the Desolate Mountain were considered official members.
“Yes,” Xiao Yue said. “To deal with you, those elders decided to move forward the competition. Not only will the Six Dao Palace disciples be participating, the Young Master will also plant plenty of First Heaven Society members in this competition, letting more of them enter the Desolate Mountain. When that happens, the First Heaven Society will be able to completely control the Door of Desolation.”
The so-called Saint Elect Tournament required participants to pass through various competition stages, with the remaining elites continuing with the selection process. Only the disciples who managed to advance to the final stage could become saints.
“Furthermore, I heard that the Young Master may send the Four Major Generals of the First Heaven Society to the competition. Apparently, they were handpicked by the Young Master. Even the Big Seniors of the Six Dao Palaces are no match for them. During the competition, they’ll be able to deal with you legally. Even your master won’t be able to do anything but watch.”
Xiao Yue’s brows tightened, before saying, “Ye Mo, I suggest you escape quickly.”
“Escape? How can I escape?” Ye Mo asked. “Yue Yue, you gotta believe me. While the current situation seems extremely unfavorable, I believe that these problems are here to strengthen me.”
Ye Mo pulled Xiao Yue down to take a seat as he said, “Do you still remember the first time we met? It was in a place like this. You saw my talents and wanted me to place in the Limestone Rankings. Back then, even though I knew that the two of us were each other’s benefactors, I still promised to work hard. Now, we aren’t that type of relationship. I like you, you like me. I won’t run away from anything.”
“Ye Mo, you…?” Xiao Yue marveled at Ye Mo, her gaze becoming much more gentle.
“I know that you still have lots of secrets hidden from me,” Ye Mo said gently. “I won’t ask much. I just hope that you’ll protect yourself properly. I’ll work hard to become stronger. When my wings fully mature and become big enough to block the wind and rain for you, I hope for you to tell me everything, okay?”
“I’m sorry, Ye Mo.”
“Alright, let’s not talk too much…”
Their time together was always fleeting. Ye Mo and Xiao Yue only spent an hour together. Ye Mo told her everything that was going on at the Xiao Family and the Tianwu Kingdom. They also enjoyed a moment of passion. But, fearing that leaving the Desolate Mountain would cause others to become suspicious, Xiao Yue took her leave.
But Ye Mo became more and more worried!
Xiao Yue took a huge risk by telling him all those things. He also learned something based on what Xiao Yue told him. After the conference ended, the Young Master entered his strange space, absorbing the space’s source of energy, shutting himself off and charging toward the Profound Heaven Realm. He had reached the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm long ago, now breaking into the Profound World Realm. This level of advancement caused plenty of neutral elders to sway towards joining the First Heaven Society.
The body of a devil with god-given talents!
