The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 809: Chapter 810: Farewell, Yuwen Ke

Ye Mo and Mo Ao arrived at Demon Dragon Valley, sensing the vast amount of Xuan Aura dissipating in the air, immediately realizing that a world-shaking battle was taking place inside.

"Let’s go, we should enter Demon Dragon Valley. Be careful."

Just as Ye Mo spoke, the sound of something breaking through the sky came from afar, indicating more people were flying towards them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Powerful auras descended from the sky.

"Experts at the Half-step Universe Realm, and not just one!"

Ye Mo was taken aback, seeing more than a dozen experts appearing nearby, seemingly about to enter Demon Dragon Valley. Their bodies emitted a ripple of spatial energy.

Ye Mo immediately noticed that among the dozen people, there were actually three experts of the Half-step Universe Realm, two men and a woman. The frequency of their aura fluctuations was extremely powerful, clearly experts from the Lingwu Continent, and one of them was even Ye Mo’s old acquaintance, Yuwen Ke.

Moreover, Yuwen Ke instantly noticed Ye Mo.

"It’s you!"

Yuwen Ke had a deep impression of Ye Mo, having been humiliated by him in the Thousand Cities Battle, the greatest stain of his life, though he would never admit it.

Now, having arrived at Demon Dragon Valley and encountering Ye Mo again, he naturally wanted to test Ye Mo’s cultivation anew. Although he had not yet advanced to the Universe Realm, the resources poured into him since joining his family had solidified his foundation. He was confident he could withstand Ye Mo’s Five Elements Immortal Futu Palm.

"What? Yuwen Ke, you know this person? He’s just a martial artist at the early stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm. Those people might already be fighting with the Demon Dragon, and the Demon Dragon’s Heart must not fall into others’ hands. Our purpose here is to seize the Demon Dragon’s Heart."

A half-step Universe Realm expert glanced at Ye Mo and Mo Ao dismissively, speaking to Yuwen Ke.

"This old creature of the Zone of Demons is naturally like an ant in my eyes, not worth anything. But this young man at the early stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm, do not underestimate him. His combat prowess is formidable."

Yuwen Ke said with a smile, half-jokingly.

"Gentlemen, we’re just passing by, we’ll leave immediately."

Mo Ao sensed things were amiss and quickly intended to drag Ye Mo away.

"Wait!"

Yuwen Ke suddenly hid himself.

Hearing this, Ye Mo frowned. He also wanted to head directly into the depths of Demon Dragon Valley to investigate what was truly happening inside. However, since Yuwen Ke had once been defeated by him, the opponent likely wouldn’t let it go so easily.

"Yuwen Ke, do you have something to say? If you want to fight, I’m ready anytime."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"Gentlemen, this is Ye Mo. Even at the early stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm, he could defeat experts of the Great Perfection. Moreover, he was the champion of the Thousand Cities Battle. Would you like to test the strength of this Thousand Cities Battle champion?"

Yuwen Ke looked insidiously at the two half-step Universe Realm experts, one male and one female.

"The champion of the Thousand Cities Battle?"

Hearing this, the beautiful woman among them looked at Ye Mo with great curiosity, "You are the champion of the Thousand Cities Battle? Won at the early stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm? You’re quite the promising talent. How about this, display your full cultivation and let us see. If you impress us, you can join us in slaying the Demon Dragon and, depending on your performance, we might let you join our Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion."

"Join Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion?"

Ye Mo frowned slightly, immediately realizing Yuwen Ke’s intention. Yuwen Ke knew full well that Ye Mo wouldn’t join the so-called Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion, as champions of the Thousand Cities Battle typically enter the Chaos Palace.

If Ye Mo refused, he would thoroughly offend Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion, and a battle with the woman would be unavoidable.

"Ye Mo, let me tell you, Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion has a significant reputation in the Lingwu Continent, a second-rate force. Joining it is your chance to enter the Lingwu Continent, which isn’t easy to access."

Yuwen Ke said with a faint smile.

"Sorry, I’m not interested."

Ye Mo declined calmly, but the expressions of the man and woman changed dramatically, taking it as a direct affront.

"You brat, you have some nerve."

One Heavenly Profound Complete Realm expert from Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion said sternly, "Our Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion never recruits people from the Zone of Desolation or Zone of Demons. Yet, our senior sister wants to test you, and you dare refuse."

As they spoke, a distant rumbling sound echoed again, causing all of their expressions to change.

"Is your name Ye Mo? Right now, we don’t have time to waste on you. When you truly enter the Lingwu Continent and encounter the powerhouses of Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion, you’ll realize how foolish your choice today was."

After speaking, dozens of people soared into the sky, flying towards the distant explosion.

As the woman leapt up, she emitted a powerful wave, causing Mo Ao to stagger backward repeatedly, his butt hitting the ground, coughing up blood.

Seeing this, cold killing intent flashed in Ye Mo’s eyes as he immediately helped Mo Ao begin to heal.

"Ye Mo, who were those people? Do they know you?"

Mo Ao asked, face pale, speaking with difficulty.

"Yes, but don’t worry. Even if they join forces, they can’t defeat me. They’re trying to seize the so-called Demon Dragon’s Heart, probably to slay that powerful Demon Dragon. We should hurry over now."

Ye Mo said calmly.

With Ye Mo’s treatment, Mo Ao’s injuries healed instantly. Regaining their composure, the two proceeded into the valley. They didn’t fly directly. Now that so many experts had gathered in Demon Dragon Valley, seizing the Demon Dragon’s Heart would be immensely challenging.

Entering the valley on foot, finding an opportunity to snatch the Demon Dragon’s Heart was Ye Mo’s plan.

The valley was filled with Demon Dragon Qi, incredibly potent, making it impossible for ordinary people to even get close, let alone try to absorb it.

Mo Ao could only manifest a shield, while Ye Mo was completely unafraid. Not only was he unscathed by the Demon Dragon Qi, but he could also absorb and refine it into pure energy for storage.

As they walked, the Demon Dragon Qi and Demonic Qi grew increasingly dense.

Among the mountains, they found iron trees, whose branches grew out like iron pipes.

"These are Demon Iron Trees from the Demon Dragon Valley, rumored to be sentient."

Mo Ao said.

"If iron trees can grow branches, they must have absorbed a lot of Demon Dragon Qi."

Ye Mo observed closely and noticed the massive roots of the Demon Iron Trees spreading towards a specific place.

Narrowing his eyes, Ye Mo followed the roots’ direction, discovering they all penetrated into the ground.

Ye Mo delivered a powerful punch, smashing all the roots and breaking open a Huge hole in the cliff, exposing a massive pit in the ground.

The pit was pitch-black, exuding terrifying Demon Dragon Qi, appearing unfathomably deep.

Looking up, Ye Mo saw the towering Demon Mountain in the distance, still erupting with Demon Dragon Qi like a volcano.

"This cavern might be connected to that distant Demon Mountain. The ground could be a Demon Cave, and I want to see for myself what’s inside. Could the lair of the Demon Dragon be in there?"
