The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1567 - 1568: Spirit

Looking into Lin Qiuer’s wide-eyed gaze, filled with anticipation and admiration, he also smiled wryly and said, "I am indeed the Rising Dragon Pillar."

"Wow, you really are the Rising Dragon Pillar!"

Lin Qiuer seemed to have forgotten about calling Ye Mo a waste earlier as she excitedly asked, "Rising Dragon Pillar, did you really battle an Immortal?"

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"What about your Heavenly Snare Blood Spear?"

"It’s in the Sumeru ring."

"Can a Divine Venerate truly not achieve immortality?"

"No!"

"Is the Wraith Demon Emperor human or demon?"

Lin Qiuer asked all her questions in a rush, and Ye Mo, a bit annoyed, said, "Ask these questions later; we’re heading to Netherworld Valley now to find the Tiger Leech Beast!"

"I’ll go with you, to find the Tiger Leech Beast with the Rising Dragon Pillar!"

Lin Qiuer also raised her small fist, full of enthusiasm.

"What’s your name?"

Ye Mo couldn’t help but ask.

"Rising Dragon Pillar, I am Lin Qiuer, and I want to become a hero like you in the future."

Lin Qiuer said.

"You better not go; Netherworld Valley is full of dangers. You take care of Little Cao for me; I’ll go to Netherworld Valley."

He was going to Netherworld Valley for the first time, already having reached the Spirit Cultivating Realm, and there were Energy Shaping Demon Beasts inside. Having Lin Qiuer follow him would be very dangerous.

"Rising Dragon Pillar, you currently have no strength; we might as well go together. You think, and I’ll do the labor."

Lin Qiuer looked at Ye Mo innocently, even though Ye Mo was powerless; she still saw him as her idol.

"You know I have no strength left?"

Ye Mo was somewhat shocked.

"Who doesn’t know about that battle back in the day? Nowadays, people are spreading the word that the Rising Dragon Pillar was defeated by an Immortal, who abolished your cultivation. On every street and alley, everyone knows the Rising Dragon Pillar has no strength left."

Lin Qiuer said indifferently.

"You still admire me despite that?"

Ye Mo was slightly surprised.

"Isn’t battling an Immortal something to admire? Plus, you’ve done so much for Lingwu Continent. Without you, the Heavenly Clan would have unified the continent long ago."

Lin Qiuer gestured with her arms: "I’ve admired you since I was little and would go to the square every day to look at your statue, hoping to become someone like you. Even though you have no strength left, your spirit has been passed on, and I, Lin Qiuer, have received it."

Listening to Lin Qiuer’s words, Ye Mo was shocked to the core; he never expected a nine-year-old girl to have such realization.

Spirit!

Ye Mo slowly exhaled a breath of air and said, "Lin Qiuer, thank you. Let’s head to Netherworld Valley together now."

Ye Mo regained his past confidence, even though he had no strength left, he was still the Rising Dragon Pillar!

The three of them left Limestone City directly, heading to Netherworld Valley; Ye Mo couldn’t rest assured about Little Cao and carried her along.

The two spent over ten days traveling, crossing dozens of forests and hundreds of mountains. Lin Qiuer’s speed was no slower than Ye Mo, but she followed behind him because on the way, they would encounter some Demon Beasts. Although Ye Mo was powerless, his instincts were very sharp, allowing him to cleverly dodge some Demon Beasts.

At this point, the two had reached Netherworld Valley. Looking at the valley entrance, Ye Mo’s face grew solemn; the trip ahead would definitely be extremely dangerous.

Even Lin Qiuer couldn’t help but swallow nervously, looking at the deep gorge in front of her. Her face showed fear; though she had followed Ye Mo, it was her first time in such a dangerous place.

"Rising Dragon Pillar, should we go in?"

Lin Qiuer swallowed nervously again; she had fought people before, but never a Demon Beast.

"Enter!"

Ye Mo nodded, carrying Little Cao, and slowly entered Netherworld Valley.

However, just at that moment, a man walked toward them from the opposite side of the valley. His face had a cold smile.

"Xiang Qiu!"

When Ye Mo saw his appearance clearly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he immediately uttered the two words.

This person was none other than Xiang Qiu, a ranked disciple of the Wraith Clan. During the ranking challenge of the past, Ye Mo had abolished Xiang Qiu’s Dantian, yet he suddenly appeared before Ye Mo now, his motives obvious.

"Back then, the renowned Great Celestial Son of the Wraith Clan, the Rising Dragon Pillar of Lingwu Continent, now accompanying a little girl who hasn’t even reached the Spirit Cultivating Realm, to this valley in search of the Tiger Leech Beast."

Xiang Qiu looked at Ye Mo, his face full of mocking laughter.

"Did you cause Little Cao’s injury?"

Ye Mo’s expression changed, furious.

"Naturally, it was me. That Immortal Position Realm expert wants to see you live in lingering misery, but I have no such patience anymore. The scene of you abolishing my Dantian is still vivid in my mind, so I lured you here on purpose to kill you. Once you die, her game ends, and Lingwu Continent will face complete destruction."

Xiang Qiu laughed coldly.

Now Lingwu Continent was intact solely because Qin Ya still wanted to continue her game with Ye Mo, wanting to see how the continent’s strongest person once fell from the altar and lived in lingering misery.

Once Ye Mo died, the game would end completely, and then she would naturally begin the destruction of Lingwu Continent. Xiang Qiu’s move was entirely because it achieved two goals at once; killing Ye Mo would push for the destruction of Lingwu Continent.

"Seems like you’ve been plotting for a long time, leading me here on purpose so you could kill me without anyone knowing."

Ye Mo chuckled lightly: "As a strong Divine Venerate, to kill me, a person with no cultivation, you’ve truly gone to great lengths."

"Ye Mo, I hate your expression now the most. Do you still think you’re the Rising Dragon Pillar of the past? You’re just a waste now, waste! Why can you still smile? Aren’t you supposed to be afraid?"

Xiang Qiu was slightly angry; originally, he imagined that Ye Mo should be trembling with fear upon seeing him. Yet, none of this happened, and Ye Mo still had that high and mighty demeanor.

"Why should I be afraid? I don’t even fear an Immortal Position Realm expert. Why would I fear a measly Divine Venerate martial artist?"

Ye Mo laughed heartily, placing Little Cao down behind him and softly saying to Lin Qiuer, "Lin Qiuer, carry Little Cao away from here. I’ll come find you once I’ve dealt with a matter."

"Rising Dragon Pillar, that person wants to kill you; I won’t leave."

Lin Qiuer’s innocent face showed determination, but before she finished speaking, Ye Mo witnessed a flash of blood splatter from her chest.

Puchi!

Lin Qiuer’s chest was pierced by Xiang Qiu’s sword finger and fell to the ground, her expression forever fixed in that radiant smile.

Ye Mo’s expression froze completely.
