The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1363 - 1364: Dantai Zanglian

Whoosh!

At this moment, a woman wearing a long purple-yellow dress swiftly arrived, landing in front of Wu Jing and Wu Hao.

The woman looked gentle and appeared to be around twenty years old. She exuded an ethereal aura, giving people the feeling of being cut off from the world. Just one glance at her assured a sense of inferiority.

"Wu Jing, Wu Hao, what’s going on?"

The woman stopped in front of them, her voice soothing and delightful.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, we encountered the Earth Flame Spider Mother earlier and felt overwhelmed, so we summoned you. Unexpectedly, a skilled warrior appeared and saved us."

Wu Jing said.

This woman referred to as Zang Lian was fully named Dantai Zanglian. Although she wasn’t a direct member of the Wraith Clan, her status was quite high within the clan.

"The strength of the Earth Flame Spider Mother reaches the Divine Venerable Five Souls. Among the disciples coming for this trial, is there really someone who could kill it?"

Dantai Zanglian exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Sister, he’s right up there in the sky!"

Wu Hao pointed upwards.

Hearing this, Dantai Zanglian glanced at Ye Mo and immediately sped towards him. Ye Mo, sensing the arrival, looked back at her, experiencing a strong feeling of pressure from her presence.

Though this woman appeared to be twenty, her realm was at the Divine Venerable Four Souls. Ye Mo could usually defeat a standard Divine Venerable Four Souls, but facing this woman brought a sense of pressure.

"The Wraith Clan is certainly extraordinary!"

Ye Mo shook his head secretly. This woman, a Divine Venerable Four Souls, likely had real combat capabilities reaching a normal Divine Venerable Six Souls.

"Who are you? You don’t seem to be a disciple of my Wraith Clan."

Dantai Zanglian asked.

"I am Ye Xiao, and I wish to join your Wraith Clan."

Ye Mo stated directly.

"You want to join the Wraith Clan?"

Dantai Zanglian assessed Ye Mo. Despite his realm being Divine Venerate Two-Soul, he was capable of killing the Earth Flame Spider Mother. Such strength was indeed enough to join the Wraith Clan.

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"With your strength, joining the Wraith Clan would be easy. However, it’s a sensitive time right now. With your formidable skills, there’s a chance you could be a spy sent by the Dead Soul Royal Family. Therefore, we aren’t accepting disciples above the Divine Venerate Realm."

Dantai Zanglian explained.

Currently, the conflict between the two clans had escalated from the shadows to open confrontation. Not long ago, the Dead Soul Royal Family sent a Divine Venerable Three Souls expert to infiltrate the Wraith Clan, who later killed many elite disciples. When the Wraith Clan discovered the spy, they immediately executed him.

Afterward, the Wraith Clan issued a rule to temporarily halt the acceptance of Divine Venerate Realm disciples.

"What if someone genuinely wants to join the Wraith Clan?"

Ye Mo asked.

"This..."

Dantai Zanglian hesitated and said, "You’d better return. Your cultivation is respected anywhere, there’s no need to join the Wraith Clan."

Dantai Zanglian didn’t want to bring in a disciple who might be a spy for the Wraith Clan, especially since this person’s strength had already reached the Divine Venerable Five Souls, making him a top expert among the disciples.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, our mission this time is to assassinate disciples of the Dead Soul Royal Family. Why not take him along and test him? Reports claim the opponent sent many elite disciples. Considering our strength, thoroughly defeating them would be tough. Why not bring him along, what do you think?"

Wu Jing proposed.

"Yes, Senior Sister Zang Lian, first, your strength can restrain him. Second, you can ascertain whether he’s genuinely from the Dead Soul Royal Family."

Wu Hao added.

Dantai Zanglian pondered for a moment and appreciated the suggestions from her junior brothers. If Ye Mo was truly a spy from the Dead Soul Royal Family, he would inevitably reveal his intentions during an all-out conflict between the teams. If Ye Mo indeed killed members of the Dead Soul Royal Family, suspicions could be dismissed.

"Alright!"

Dantai Zanglian nodded, her gaze icy as she looked at Ye Mo, "We are about to undertake a mission to eliminate a small detachment of the Dead Soul Royal Family. Accompany us, if you can kill five disciples above Divine Venerable Three Souls from the enemy, I will recommend you join the Wraith Clan."

"Agreed!"

Ye Mo nodded, showing no hesitation in dealing with Dead Soul Royal Family disciples.

"Okay, follow me and stay within my line of sight. If you leave my visibility range, I’ll have doubts."

Dantai Zanglian said coldly and swiftly launched into flight.

Following her lead, the bodies of three men moved, trailing behind Dantai Zanglian.

"Brother, what’s your name?"

Having been rescued by Ye Mo, both Wu Jing and Wu Hao felt a good level of connection with him.

"Ye Xiao!"

Ye Mo replied.

"Ye Xiao, don’t judge Senior Sister Zang Lian by her cold exterior, she’s genuinely good to us behind the scenes."

Wu Jing said with a smile.

"What are we going to do?"

Ye Mo asked.

"Of course, we are intercepting a small team from the Dead Soul Royal Family. Your martial arts realm should be Divine Venerate Two-Soul, yet you easily killed the Earth Flame Spider Mother. With your natural talents, if you truly join the Wraith Clan, you’ll undoubtedly become a core disciple."

Wu Jing stated.

"Core disciple?"

"Yes, among us, only Senior Sister Dantai Zanglian is a core disciple, possessing Divine Venerable Four Souls strength but with actual combat power reaching Divine Venerable Six Souls. This time, she will lead the mission to eliminate the Dead Soul Royal Family’s squad. See, we’ve arrived."

As Wu Jing spoke, Ye Mo saw numerous disciples ahead surrounding some Earth Flame Spiders.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, the Earth Flame Spiders have mostly been cleared."

A short-haired female disciple saw Dantai Zanglian descend and said.

"Good, everyone prepare, we’re moving out soon."

Dantai Zanglian ordered.

"Is it starting?"

A dozen elite disciples looked solemn, unsure how many would return alive from this outing.

Dantai Zanglian surveyed the elite disciples and said calmly: "Let me introduce, this is Ye Xiao, capable of killing the Earth Flame Spider Mother. He’ll join us on this mission. I hope all fifteen of us return as fifteen."

"Yes, Senior Sister Zang Lian."

The thirteen disciples responded vigorously.

"Alright, let’s set off!"

Dantai Zanglian said and quickly leapt into the air, heading north, with Ye Mo among the fourteen following closely.

A moment later, the fifteen descended onto the edge of Abyssal Demon Island. Dantai Zanglian waved her hand, revealing a giant wheel in the ocean over a hundred meters long, exuding a terrifying aura. Nearby sea demons were instantly suppressed by the wheel’s iron-like presence, daring not to approach.
