The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1113: The Eerie Canyon

Hsiao Lintian saw this scene, his face was not much better than Tian Xinglang’s. The change in the ranking list explained everything; Hsiao Wufa was also eliminated by Ye Mo.

This Ye Mo truly stays still, but when he moves, he astonishes everyone.

"Hsiao Lintian, I told you not to be complacent. It seems that this time the Lingwu Genius Battle will be turned upside down by Ye Mo."

Tian Xinglang said.

"Mu Yazi, I believe there’s something suspicious going on. I think we should temporarily suspend the match. As far as I know, Ye Mo only has the strength of the Qiankun Ninth Rotation. If he was truly able to kill the Guardian Giant, it would be too incredible. We must investigate thoroughly."

Hsiao Lintian said.

"Hsiao Lintian, what do you mean? Should the match be suspended just because Hsiao Wufa was eliminated? The Lingwu Genius Battle is a once-in-a-decade event that commands the attention of the entire Lingwu Continent. As hosts, even if there are issues, we must wait until the match concludes."

The Clan Leader of the Deathless Ice Phoenix Clan said.

With Hsiao Wufa and Ang Tianxiao both eliminated, the opportunity for their Divine Beast family to claim the crown grew, making them naturally reluctant.

"Alright, everyone stop talking, let the match continue, and any doubts you have can be addressed after it concludes."

Mu Yazi said.

Meanwhile, Zi Kui looked at the ranking list with a satisfied smile. Regardless of the investigation, Ye Mo’s talents and strength are evident, and he might even compete for first place.

..

After eliminating Hsiao Wufa, Ye Mo walked out of the canyon, while some observing geniuses had already left.

Xiao Yue, Zi Xuan, and Mu Wanqing, however, did not depart.

"Ye Mo, are you alright!"

Xiao Yue walked over and asked with concern.

Ye Mo patted Xiao Yue’s shoulder and said, "See, I’m fine. By the way, let me introduce you; this is Zi Xuan from the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan."

Ye Mo began introducing Xiao Yue.

"Zi Xuan, this is Xiao Yue."

Ye Mo concurrently introduced Xiao Yue to Zi Xuan.

Both women exchanged smiles without much conversation, seemingly understanding their relationship with Ye Mo, especially Xiao Yue, whose eyes asked Ye Mo for an explanation when they returned.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a shadow swiftly flew past them at an incredible speed and disappeared from their sight.

"Who is there, sneaking around!"

Ye Mo snorted coldly and followed immediately.

Xiao Yue and Zi Xuan also instantly followed, while Mu Wanqing, who stood atop a tree, raised her delicate brows and joined them.

The shadow moved with fluctuating speed, never intending to shake off Ye Mo and the others.

The four of them dashed rapidly, soon arriving before a natural canyon. The surrounding area had faint energy fluctuations, different from other canyons.

Moreover, none of them had visited this canyon before.

"What kind of place is this? The shadow seems to be intentionally luring us here."

Ye Mo spoke softly before seeing Mu Wanqing directly enter the canyon.

"That woman."

Ye Mo shook his head, "This canyon seems unusual; be cautious after entering."

Since they were here, they naturally needed to explore.

Upon entering the canyon, they found the natural area filled with pits, chaotic and messy, as if a great battle had taken place here.

The scene suggested a fierce fight.

"Looks like there was a fight here; could other factions’ supporting geniuses have entered?"

Xiao Yue asked.

"Ordinary supporting geniuses couldn’t cause such a commotion."

Ye Mo’s gaze flashed, catching sight of a distant battle already underway. Mu Wanqing and the cloaked woman had begun to fight.

"Who exactly is that cloaked woman?"

Ye Mo also grew curious. This cloaked woman won the position of hundred-ring champion in the second round of the Lingwu Genius Battle but showed little performance in the third round’s Dream Cliff Space.

Seeing Mu Wanqing and the cloaked woman in battle, Ye Mo didn’t make a move, wanting to see how strong these two women were.

However, their attacks were probing, not displaying their true strength, yet the commotion remained substantial.

Roar!

Suddenly, a terrifying roar echoed.

This was a vast canyon, where the fighting sounds awakened some of the powerful demon beasts within.

Upon hearing this sound, the cloaked woman broke away from Mu Wanqing and sped forward.

"Chase!"

Ye Mo didn’t hesitate, exploding forward.

This canyon was filled with eerie mysteries, likely holding secrets.

Indeed, as Ye Mo dashed for a while, he saw an energy barrier not far away. Ye Mo recognized it as a sealed barrier, and entering it might lead to another space.

The three sped forward, realizing the barrier maintained a constant distance from them.

"What’s going on?

Ye Mo was surprised.

"This should be a sealed space, likely housing a powerful demon beast. It seems someone reinforced this space with strong space powers, keeping the barrier at a constant distance no matter how we chase."

Xiao Yue said.

"Both the cloaked woman and Mu Wanqing have already entered the barrier; they must have a way inside."

Ye Mo said, activating the Eye of the Divine Beast. The space before him rippled in waves, continuously circulating.

"No wonder I felt strange fluctuations in this canyon; the space has been reinforced with strong powers, preventing entry into the sealed space even if one enters the canyon."

Ye Mo speculated, suspecting a powerful demon beast was sealed inside. Though dangerous, fortune favors the brave, and the most perilous places yield treasures.

"Let’s return!"

Ye Mo said calmly.

"I also feel it’s too dangerous; let’s head back."

Zi Xuan agreed.

The three retraced their steps, but Ye Mo walked backward.

As he expected, each backward step logically should distance him from the barrier, but each retreat brought the barrier closer.

Ye Mo retreated a hundred steps, discovering the energy barrier now before him.

However, Xiao Yue and Zi Xuan, though standing beside him, were actually hundreds of steps away. Only walking backward allowed entry into the sealed space.

Ye Mo grasped the air, immediately performing a space teleport to bring Xiao Yue and Zi Xuan over.

"What happened? I remember nearly reaching the canyon mouth, yet I’ve returned here, and the barrier is before us."

Zi Xuan asked curiously.

"It seems the canyon itself is problematic."

Xiao Yue noted.

"Indeed. Approaching the barrier head-on is futile; only by walking backward can we close in on it. Now that we’ve reached this canyon, let’s enter and explore."

With that, the trio moved backward again, entering the sealed space.
