The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1434 - 1435: Earth-Shattering Secret

Ye Mo was also puzzled. He and Taishi Qing had never known each other. What would the other party have to say to him?

"Hmm!"

Ye Mo nodded, wanting to hear what the other person had to say, and the beautiful woman sensibly left the room, closing the door behind her.

"Although I was unconscious, I was fully aware of what was happening outside, so I only dare to tell you alone."

Ye Mo remained silent and nodded.

"Back then, when I lost to Qin Yong in a battle of energies, I felt greatly humiliated and planned to leave the Wraith Clan to gain experience and enhance my strength. However, I witnessed an astonishing scene."

Taishi Qing began recalling the scene before he fell unconscious, "I saw the Vice Chieftain conversing with a stranger. The stranger looked somewhat familiar to me, although at the time I couldn’t remember who it was. My hearing is quite keen, and even if something is happening miles away, I can hear it clearly as long as the location is locked onto. Out of curiosity, I eavesdropped on their conversation, and I clearly heard the Vice Chieftain addressing that stranger as the Soul Master."

"What? Soul Master?"

Ye Mo’s face instantly displayed a surprised expression, and even the Wraith Demon Emperor was full of shock.

"That’s right, but just as I was about to continue listening to what they wanted to discuss, I was discovered by them. The Vice Chieftain immediately released a Soul Silkworm Curse, and I fell unconscious."

Taishi Qing continued, "I originally thought I would remain unconscious forever, and this secret would never be known to anyone. I suspect the Vice Chieftain is not as he appears on the surface."

"Could it be that Zhou Tianmo and Ao Canngwu are plotting something?"

Ye Mo speculated.

"You mentioned it, and I suddenly remembered something."

The Wraith Demon Emperor also recalled, "Before my duel with Ao Canngwu, Zhou Tianmo concocted several pills for me, claiming they would enhance my strength. I had complete trust in Zhou Tianmo’s alchemical talents, and even during my fierce battle with Ao Canngwu, I didn’t notice anything amiss. But now, I realize that there was no possibility of me losing that fight. With my abilities, I would at most be evenly matched with Ao Canngwu, but I lost, lost inexplicably. Only now do I understand that if Zhou Tianmo and Ao Canngwu had already been colluding, the reason for my defeat lies in those pills."

"Oh, Zhou Tianmo, I sincerely took you in, cultivated you, and left nothing hidden from you, yet you conspired against me, leading to my thorough defeat and trapping me in the Wraith Kingdom for over ten thousand years."

The Wraith Demon Emperor roared in anger, "Ye Mo, release me now, and I’ll immediately kill that brat."

"Don’t be rash. If you rush in now, it’s uncertain if you can kill Zhou Tianmo and even risk exposing yourself completely."

Ye Mo responded in his mind, "Given the current circumstances, Zhou Tianmo is likely the underhanded agent Ao Canngwu placed in the Wraith Clan. As they haven’t acted, it’s probably because the timing isn’t right. We can only lay low for now and turn the tables, ultimately taking down Zhou Tianmo and Ao Canngwu together."

Revealing Zhou Tianmo’s conspiracy now, not to mention whether anyone in Lingwu Continent or the Wraith Clan would believe it, even if exposed, they could simply retreat to the Dead Soul Royal Family.

"My reputation as the Wraith Demon Emperor was entirely ruined by that kid."

Thinking back to this, the Wraith Demon Emperor felt deeply discontented. He had originally believed that his defeat by Ao Canngwu was due to being outmatched, but now he felt as if a suppressed anger inside him was left unvented, leaving him uncomfortable.

"Hold your ground a bit longer; after enduring thousands of years, hasn’t it passed? Now Ao Canngwu is also recuperating his strength. You should also calm down and recover your energy. It’s a race against him, for once he regains his peak strength, he might act immediately. As for the rest, leave it all to me."

After communicating with the Wraith Demon Emperor, Ye Mo said to Taishi Qing, "I’m glad you could tell me all this, but this also puts you in great danger, so I hope you and your mother can help me with something."

"What’s that?"

Taishi Qing couldn’t help but ask.

"Continue pretending to be unconscious, not even letting Senior Sister Zang Lian know that you’ve awoken, understood?"

Ye Mo instructed.

"Alright!"

Taishi Qing nodded, then discussed it with his mother.

When Dantai Zanglian returned to the room, she saw Ye Mo standing at the bedside with a frown, and she immediately asked, "Junior Brother Ye Xiao, how is Qingyi?"

"I’ve already found the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill and given it to Taishi Qing, but he’s still not showing any signs of improvement."

Ye Mo frowned and said.

"Then what should we do?"

Worry was written all over Dantai Zanglian’s pretty face.

"Now it can only depend on his own fortune. In this situation, there isn’t much else that can be done. If Taishi Qing has a strong will to survive, he might wake up soon."

After saying that, Ye Mo sighed and added, "Senior Sister Zang Lian, don’t worry too much. Let me ask my adoptive mother if she might have any solutions."

"Thank you!"

Dantai Zanglian nodded, sitting by the bed, constantly watching over Taishi Qing.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, I’m sorry, but we must deceive you for now. The news about acquiring the Myriad Demon’s Fire is likely known to Zhou Tianmo, and just in case, we have to put you through this."

Ye Mo muttered silently to himself, then left the Tantai Family.

As Ye Mo turned to leave, a figure descended and landed before the Tantai Family mansion. The guards, upon seeing the arrival, immediately greeted with respect, "Vice Chieftain, what brings you here?"

"I heard that Dantai Zanglian acquired the Myriad Demon’s Fire and intends to help Taishi Qing dispel the Soul Silkworm Curse from his soul. I came specifically to check it out."

Zhou Tianmo wore a smile, one that made people feel quite at ease.

The Vice Chieftain’s reputation was well-known far and wide, and he was admired by many. His formidable talents made him an idol for all disciples of the Wraith Clan.

"Vice Chieftain, thank you for your concern, I will take you to Taishi Qing’s room now."

The guard showed great respect and directly led Zhou Tianmo to Taishi Qing’s room.

"Miss Zanglian, the Vice Chieftain has come to see Young Master Qingyi."

Upon seeing it was Zhou Tianmo, Dantai Zanglian was delighted, opening the door and bowing respectfully, "Vice Chieftain, what brings you here?"

"I heard you obtained the Myriad Demon’s Fire and helped expel the Soul Silkworm Curse from Taishi Qing. I wanted to see how Taishi Qing is doing now."

Zhou Tianmo expressed his concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Vice Dean. I’ve already removed the Soul Silkworm Curse from Qingyi, and Junior Brother Ye Xiao went through great efforts to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill, yet Qingyi has still not awakened."

Dantai Zanglian replied with a worried expression.

"Oh? Let me take a look."

With those words, Zhou Tianmo slowly approached where Taishi Qing lay.
