The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1378 - 1379: Overbearing and Arrogant

Yan Fawu saw Wang Qiu Chi approaching, and cupped his hands, saying, "Hall Master, what brings you here?"

Because Ye Mo’s face was covered in blood, Wang Qiu Chi did not recognize him, he merely glanced at him and asked Yan Fawu, "What’s going on?"

Dantai Zanglian glanced at Wang Qiu Chi and whispered to Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, this person is Wang Qiu Chi, the Hall Master of the Examination Hall. Regardless of who’s right or wrong this time, Wang Qiu Chi will likely kick you out to save face for the Examination Hall."

Hearing this, Ye Mo smiled and said, "Don’t worry, he won’t dare to kick me out."

"Hall Master, since you’re here, let me tell you what happened."

Yan Fawu leaned close to Wang Qiu Chi’s ear and whispered a few words.

"Is that so?"

Wang Qiu Chi frowned and looked at Ye Mo, saying, "You should leave; the Wraith Clan doesn’t need a disciple like you."

Dantai Zanglian was shocked and immediately said, "Elder Wang Qiu Chi, I don’t know what Yan Fawu said to you, but things are definitely not as he described. Elder Yan Fawu was acting on Wang Wei Wu’s orders to deliberately make the disciple assessment difficult."

"There’s no need to say anymore!"

Wang Qiu Chi immediately interrupted Dantai Zanglian. To protect the Examination Hall’s reputation, he had to expel Ye Mo from the Wraith Clan.

"Elder Wang Qiu Chi, are you sure you want me to leave?"

Ye Mo’s tone grew heavy, and with a shake of his body, all the blood on his body disappeared, revealing a somewhat thin face.

"Ye Xiao!"

Seeing that familiar face, Wang Qiu Chi blurted out in surprise, his face lighting up with joy, "Why have you come to the Wraith Clan? I was just thinking about how to contact you, and here you are already. Yan Fawu didn’t harm you, did he?"

"I’m covered in blood, what do you think?"

Ye Mo’s tone turned cold, "You’re supposed to be the Hall Master of the Examination Hall. Your Vice Hall Master nearly got me killed. If not for my strong skills, I would have died at the hands of those three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves."

Dantai Zanglian, observing, noticed that Wang Qiu Chi seemed to fear Ye Mo, and immediately stepped forward to testify, "Elder Wang Qiu Chi, I can verify Ye Xiao’s words. Using those three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves to assess a Divine Venerate Two-Soul is simply unreasonable."

"Those three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves were captured by me, intended for testing a disciple of the Divine Venerable Three Souls. Since Ye Xiao killed them, he has passed the assessment."

Wang Qiu Chi said as he opened his hand, a gold token appearing in his palm, with the words "Elite Disciple" inscribed on it.

Wang Qiu Chi handed the token to Ye Mo, saying, "This token represents the status of an Elite Disciple. From today, you are an Elite Disciple of the Wraith Clan. Work hard in your cultivation, and once you reach Divine Venerable Four Souls, you can become a Core Disciple."

"Thank you!"

Receiving the token, Ye Mo cupped his hands in thanks but did not leave.

At this moment, Elder Yan Fawu’s face had turned ashen. He never expected this Ye Mo to know Wang Qiu Chi, and it seemed that Wang Qiu Chi was slightly afraid of Ye Mo. If Wang Qiu Chi were to protect this new disciple against him, his position as Vice Hall Master would be at risk.

"Yan Fawu, I warned you that the three Demon Scourge Blood Wolves I captured were for assessing Divine Venerable Three Souls disciples. But you deliberately used them to trouble a Divine Venerate Two-Souls disciple. According to the rules of the Punishment Chambers, I will strip you of your position as Vice Hall Master."

In order to satisfy Ye Mo, Wang Qiu Chi had no choice but to turn against Yan Fawu. Ye Mo himself wasn’t fearful, but the Wraith Demon Emperor behind him was truly terrifying.

"Wang Qiu Chi, are you really going to strip me of my Vice Hall Master position for the sake of a Divine Venerate Two-Soul kid?"

Yan Fawu’s face turned ominous. He thought the matter would just be dropped, but Wang Qiu Chi wanted to take away his position as Vice Hall Master.

"The Examination Hall is an important division of the Wraith Clan, and you abused your power to harass incoming disciples. If word got out, who would dare join our Wraith Clan in the future?"

Wang Qiu Chi had to assert his stance, "Will you go to the Punishment Chambers yourself or should I escort you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fawu’s face turned lifeless. Compared to Wang Qiu Chi, he was nothing. Wang Qiu Chi was a Vanquishing Directorate Elder and Hall Master, and if he targeted Yan Fawu, there would be no way for him to resist.

"Elder Wang Qiu Chi, such a commanding presence."

At this moment, Wang Wei Wu approached from afar, followed by the Deathless Ice Phoenix. Seeing Wang Wei Wu, Yan Fawu looked as if he found a lifesaver and hurried over with a pleading expression.

"So it’s Wang Wei Wu, fourth on the Earth Ranking. What? Are you here to join in?"

Wang Qiu Chi said indifferently.

"I overheard what was happening as I passed by. Even if Elder Yan is guilty, it’s not for you to decide, but for the Elder of the Punishment Chambers. Isn’t that right? I think this matter needs thorough investigation, and I suspect this Ye Xiao is very suspicious. It’s a sensitive time, and before, a spy from the Dead Soul Royal Family infiltrated us and secretly killed many of our Elite Disciples. This Ye Xiao must be thoroughly investigated. And, Dantai Zanglian, where did you encounter this disciple?"

Wang Wei Wu spoke with an air of superiority.

"By what right do you question us? When I completed my task, the elder in charge of intelligence already sent the report to the Merit Hall. Ye Xiao indeed killed people from the Dead Soul Royal Family."

Dantai Zanglian, unwilling to be outdone, said coldly.

"What if he did it intentionally?"

Wang Wei Wu sneered, "And you, Dantai Zanglian, if it’s found that Ye Xiao is a spy sent by the Dead Soul Royal Family, you won’t escape guilt either. Wang Qiu Chi, neither will you, whereas Elder Yan should be rewarded."

Wang Wei Wu’s words aimed to convict all three at once; his arrogance was overbearing.

"So you are Wang Wei Wu?"

Ye Mo looked at Wang Wei Wu and coldly chuckled, "I’ve heard you’re just a Core Disciple. What gives you the right to question us? I want to ask you, why was Senior Sister Zang Lian attacked by the Puppet Taoist during her last mission?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Wang Wei Wu’s face changed, but he feigned calmness, though his flickering eyes revealed guilt.

"What am I talking about? Don’t think destroying the Heaven Origin Xuanqing Mirror erases what happened. You colluded with the nefarious Puppet Taoist from the Wraith Land, intercepting Senior Sister Zang Lian in the Abyssal Demon Sea Region, nearly getting us killed. What do you have to say now?"

Ye Mo sneered.

"Nonsense, how dare you slander me here? I’ll capture you now and take you to the Punishment Chambers, let the Punishment Chambers Master interrogate you, and show this Dead Soul Royal Family spy the might of our Wraith Clan."

Wang Wei Wu raised his fist, a powerful force seeming to shatter the space. Then he moved, suddenly appearing in front of Ye Mo and throwing a punch.
