The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1380 - 1381: Forcing a Way into the Mountain of Wraith

In the Wraith Clan, the elite disciple daring to challenge Wang Wei Wu so explicitly, especially before Wang Xingtian, is none other than Ye Mo.

Even Dantai Zanglian thinks Ye Mo is too reckless. Although she knows Ye Mo is powerful, it’s uncertain if he can leave the punishment chambers unscathed.

"Take him away!"

Wang Xingtian completely disregards Ye Mo’s words as a mere joke. With a wave of his hand, two disciples promptly apprehend Ye Mo and lead him away.

"Dantai Zanglian, what exactly happened? How did you meet Ye Mo?"

Wang Qiu Chi needs to understand the full story before finding a way to seek Elder Mengxin.

"I met Ye Mo on Divine Demon Island. At the time, he said he wanted to join the Wraith Clan, and I immediately rejected him. But when we saw Ye Mo’s strength, comparable to a Divine Venerable Five Souls, I asked him to join me in killing members of the Wraith Clan during a task. Later, we encountered a team led by the Twelfth Prince of the Wraith Clan, and Ye Mo assisted us in defeating him."

Dantai Zanglian explained meticulously, detailing even the minutiae.

"The Twelfth Prince, isn’t he the most talented Martial Artist in the history of the Soul Devouring Clan? Even Ao Canngwu paid great attention to him. If Ye Mo were truly a spy for the Wraith Clan, they wouldn’t sacrifice the Twelfth Prince just to earn the Wraith Clan’s trust. This alone proves Ye Mo isn’t a spy for the Dead Soul Royal Family, although we have no voice in the punishment chambers."

Wang Qiu Chi said, "It looks like we’ll have to find Elder Mengxin."

"What? Find Elder Mengxin? She’s a Supreme Elder; does Ye Mo know Elder Mengxin?"

Dantai Zanglian was astonished.

"No more words, we can only try. As long as we can find Elder Mengxin, Ye Mo should be fine."

Wang Qiu Chi spoke and then flew towards the Mountain of Wraith, with Dantai Zanglian following suit.

The Mountain of Wraith is the heartland of the Wraith Clan, the residence of the Supreme Elders. These Supreme Elders have lived for thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years, holding superior status and rarely involving themselves in clan affairs, yet they are the strongest force of the Wraith Clan.

Though Wang Qiu Chi is an Elder of the Wraith Clan, becoming a Supreme Elder is simply impossible.

To become a Supreme Elder, one must have the strength of the Divine Venerable Seven Souls at minimum, and also possess significant prestige and contributions, which Wang Qiu Chi clearly lacks.

This is why the Wraith Demon Emperor promised to award him the title of Supreme Elder upon regaining the position of Clan Leader, inciting such excitement in him.

"Halt, this is the Mountain of Wraith, unauthorized individuals cannot enter."

As Wang Qiu Chi and Dantai Zanglian prepared to enter the Mountain of Wraith, a thunderous shout immediately echoed from within.

Wang Qiu Chi and Dantai Zanglian both stopped, not daring to advance. They did not know where the voice originated, but the speaker was undeniably powerful.

If they were to take another step, it would indeed risk being killed.

This is the Mountain of Wraith, a place forbidden even to Elders.

"I’m Wang Qiu Chi. I petition the Elder to report that I seek an audience with Elder Mengxin."

Wang Qiu Chi’s voice was sent forth.

"Are you unaware that Elder Mengxin is in seclusion? You should return."

A voice echoed once more from the space.

Wang Qiu Chi and Dantai Zanglian could discern from this voice a great deal of impatience. If they truly angered the Supreme Elders of the Mountain of Wraith, the consequences would be dire.

"What should we do?"

Dantai Zanglian asked.

"Do you dare to break through?"

Wang Qiu Chi’s wrinkled face furrowed deeply. Under the current circumstances, a forced entry and distraction were the only options to meet Elder Mengxin.

But doing so could lead to being killed on the spot by an Elder.

"Dare, why wouldn’t I? I’ve never been to the Mountain of Wraith before!"

Dantai Zanglian responded.

"Only one guardian should be defending the Mountain of Wraith, their strength unclear, but likely not exceeding Divine Venerable Six Souls. With your strength, you should handle him; you distract him, and I will infiltrate the Mountain of Wraith to meet Elder Mengxin. Once we see Elder Mengxin, all crises can be resolved."

Wang Qiu Chi said.

"Alright!"

Dantai Zanglian nodded, moving into the Mountain of Wraith.

"Such audacity, daring to breach the Mountain of Wraith."

As Dantai Zanglian entered the Mountain of Wraith, Wang Qiu Chi saw an elderly figure appear out of thin air, chasing after Dantai Zanglian.

Wang Qiu Chi moved swiftly, vanishing from the spot.

In the next moment, he was in the center of the Mountain of Wraith, surrounded by many pavilions of various sizes. Wang Qiu Chi dared not probe the auras within, lest he be discovered and killed.

"The wraith energy here is indeed dense. Cultivation here would undoubtedly be faster; this is the divide between Supreme Elders and Elders."

Wang Qiu Chi moved gingerly throughout the Mountain of Wraith, pinpointing the grandest pavilion, which to him, had to be Elder Mengxin’s residence.

Elder Mengxin, a Supreme Elder with unparalleled status, second only to the Clan Leader and Vice Chieftain, secretly supported by a powerful faction.

The more prominent an elder’s position, the grander their residence.

Wang Qiu Chi flew directly toward the pavilion and landed before it, feeling quite anxious. Dantai Zanglian must be causing a commotion, prompting some Supreme Elders to possibly be alarmed, making it imperative to meet with Elder Mengxin.

As Wang Qiu Chi approached the pavilion, a young girl of four or five years, wearing a pink floral dress, emerged. Her rosy cheeks made her look extraordinarily cute.

"Grandpa, whom are you looking for?"

The innocent girl asked.

"I’m seeking Elder Mengxin. Does she reside here?"

Wang Qiu Chi asked with a smile.

"You’re looking for mother? She’s in seclusion, not seeing anyone, you should return."

The girl said, hopping out and settling in a pavilion beside the main structure, swinging her feet and playing with a cloth doll.

Wang Qiu Chi chuckled, seated himself, and asked, "What’s your name? Why do you call Elder Mengxin ’mother’?"

"I’m called Little Die; of course, I call my mother ’mother.’ What else would I call her? Silly, just like those grandpas."

The girl stuck out her pink tongue before jumping off the stone stool, saying, "I won’t talk to you further; if mother finds I’ve snuck out again, she’ll spank me."

"Little Die, you’re disobedient again. You’d better go cultivate; don’t think I don’t know you sneaked out."

Just as the girl’s words fell, a voice of reproach was heard from within the pavilion, though more filled with care and affection.

"Wang Qiu Chi pays respect to Elder Mengxin!"

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Qiu Chi immediately knelt respectfully.
