The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1391 - 1392: Rumors About the Vice Chieftain

"The Dead Soul Royal Family’s twelve princes, except for the Great Prince Xue Wudi and Ao Cangwu’s son Ao Zi, the other princes were all slain. Once again, the Dead Soul Royal Family selected twelve princes. Ao Cangwu chose them based on talent and strength, with combat power reaching Divine Venerable Six Souls and even Divine Venerate Seven Souls. To counter the twelve princes of the Dead Soul Clan, our Wraith Clan is also preparing to select twelve elite warriors to form the Twelve Emperors, to combat the twelve princes of the Dead Soul Clan."

Upon hearing the Vice Chieftain’s words, everyone was shocked. Previously, Ao Cangwu selected princes based only on extraordinary talent; Ye Mo killed many of them who were all quite talented. However, now Ao Cangwu plans to balance strength and talent, making the overall power of the twelve princes exceedingly formidable.

"So, half a year from now, the Heaven Ranking Championship will become the selection competition for the Twelve Emperors. Those who become disciples for the Twelve Emperors will be directly given the identity of Elder, each rewarded with ten thousand Ascending Soul Pills. The disciple who becomes the Great Celestial Son will receive the additional reward of the fourth-ranked spiritual flame on the Soul Fire Leaderboard, the Netherworld Fan Flame."

The Vice Chieftain’s voice was gentle, but the surrounding disciples were filled with shock, directly being given Elder status, ten thousand Ascending Soul Pills, and the Great Celestial Son rewarding the Netherworld Fan Flame ranked fourth on the Soul Fire Leaderboard.

"Of course, there’s one point; to become an Emperor, naturally only those strong in the Heaven Ranking have the qualification to compete—Ye Xiao, Wang Wei Wu, Dantai Zanglian, Li Xiuyuan, Qin Yong, you all must strive hard."

After the Vice Chieftain finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

"Twelve Emperors!"

Ye Mo couldn’t help but shake his head. The Dead Soul Royal Family calls elites ’Kings,’ but the Wraith Clan calls them ’Emperors,’ enough to prove their ambition.

Wang Wei Wu escaped using his soul body, once again delving into his physical form to recover his injuries.

Ye Mo glanced at Wang Wei Wu but said nothing; the Vice Chieftain had already intervened to protect him, leaving Ye Mo speechless. Despite all that was said, even if he lost to Wang Wei Wu, with the Fu Clan Leader’s agreement, he would still be protected.

However, Ye Mo no longer needed to fear Wang Wei Wu; having defeated him once, Ye Mo had the confidence to defeat him a second time.

Of course, Ye Mo was also quite interested in the selection of the Twelve Emperors, particularly since the Vice Chieftain mentioned the names of the five individuals, because they all had the strength to enter the Heaven Ranking.

Only the disciples on the Heaven Ranking have the qualification to compete for the Twelve Emperors.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Ye Xiao. You are now someone the Vice Chieftain remembers, and your future is boundless."

"Indeed, in the future, you must promote us."

After the Vice Chieftain left, many disciples greeted Ye Mo, even Elders approached him for congratulations.

This battle quickly spread Ye Xiao’s name within the Wraith Clan. Previously, Ye Xiao was known because he was Mengxin’s adopted son; this time, it was due to his true power.

After the match, Ye Mo and the others gathered again.

"What a pity, I couldn’t kill Wang Wei Wu."

Dantai Zanglian was also decisive; since they couldn’t kill Wang Wei Wu this time, he would certainly become a trouble later. But since the Vice Chieftain had intervened, even the Supreme Elder couldn’t ignore it.

"Indeed, if it were me, I wouldn’t give him a chance, I’d crush his soul body directly. Even if you killed him, the clan can’t blame you."

Qin Yong said.

Having signed a life-and-death contract, if Ye Mo killed Wang Wei Wu, the Wraith Clan couldn’t blame him.

"Brutal!"

Li Xiuyuan played with his slender fingers, saying: "This time, since Ye Mo didn’t kill Wang Wei Wu, it will definitely impress the Vice Chieftain. To be remembered by someone like him is not common."

"By the way, the Vice Chieftain looks very young; how powerful is he?"

Ye Mo curiously asked. Being the Vice Chieftain of the Wraith Clan, he must have had at least Divine Venerate Eight Souls cultivation.

Speaking of the Vice Chieftain, Li Xiuyuan’s face showed an expression of admiration, "The Vice Chieftain is the idol of all the clan’s disciples. Back in the day, he defeated a Divine Venerable Seven Souls strongman with Divine Venerable Four Souls strength, leading the clan’s disciples alone to successfully complete an epic-level mission. Furthermore, during the contest against the Dead Soul Royal Family, he killed countless strongmen. His accomplishments are truly remarkable."

Divine Venerable Seven Souls represents the late stage of power. The difference between the middle and late stages is enormous. For instance, Dantai Zanglian cultivated up to Divine Venerable Four Souls, capable of challenging general Divine Venerable Six Souls. But even if she promoted to Divine Venerable Five Souls, challenging Divine Venerable Seven Souls wouldn’t be possible, due to the overwhelming might of Divine Venerable Seven Souls.

If Divine Venerable Middle Stage’s might is five times stronger than the early stage, then the late stage is certainly ten times stronger than the middle stage.

Even strong Divine Venerable Six Souls find it very difficult to challenge general Divine Venerable Seven Souls.

"Leading the clan’s disciples alone to complete an epic-level mission?"

Ye Mo was amazed.

"Yes, when the Vice Chieftain had reached Divine Venerable Six Souls strength, he could effortlessly kill any Divine Venerable Seven Souls strongman, even challenging Divine Venerable Eight Souls. At that time, as a Core Disciple, he led the elite disciples to complete an epic-level mission successfully. Ao Cangwu from the Dead Soul Royal Family had dispatched strongmen several times to kill the Vice Chieftain, but in moments of danger, the Vice Chieftain broke through to the late stage and killed all the Dead Soul Clan’s combatants. Recognizing his potential, they ceased sending strongmen against him."

Dantai Zanglian was also full of admiration.

"A genius, truly a genius."

Ye Mo marveled.

"Furthermore, the Vice Chieftain once performed a spectacular feat: during the greatest disaster ever faced by the Netherworld Domain of the Wraith Land. The Vice Chieftain protected it single-handedly, earning the unwavering faith of all the Netherworld Domain’s inhabitants. Some even compared him to the Wraith Demon Emperor; without this, he wouldn’t have become the Wraith Clan’s Vice Chieftain without being of a direct lineage."

Dantai Zanglian explained.

To become a Clan Leader or Vice Chieftain typically requires being a direct lineage disciple of the Wraith Clan.

"Sister Zang Lian, do you know which family the Vice Chieftain belongs to?"

Qin Yong curiously asked.

"I’m not sure, but his full name is Zhou Tianmo. Our Wraith Clan doesn’t have a Zhou lineage."

Dantai Zanglian shook her head.

"Zhou Tianmo, who would have thought that brat would come this far; it truly makes me proud."

Wraith Demon Emperor expressed surprise, remembering he felt a sense of familiarity towards the Vice Chieftain, Zhou Tianmo, who looks different now in his middle-aged form. Dantai Zanglian’s words immediately reminded him.

"Wraith Demon Emperor, do you know Zhou Tianmo?"

Ye Mo curiously asked.

"I know more than that. That brat was picked up by me from the streets. At that time, I found his bone structure impressive and brought him back to the Wraith Clan. Although I didn’t have the habit of accepting disciples, this guy fit my taste, so I accepted him as a disciple. However, people outside don’t know about our relationship."

The Wraith Demon Emperor sighed, also feeling content, "His achievements have not disgraced my title as Wraith Demon Emperor."
