The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 825: Chapter 826: Ye Mo’s Choice

At the Hour of the Rabbit, the sky was dimly lit.

The disciples of the Door of Desolation had already begun their cultivation.

It is said that the plans of the day are made in the morning; training early is an indispensable task for them.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

When the sun fully emerged, a change suddenly occurred in the sky.

A gigantic Divine Demon Phantasm seemed to cloak the entire Desolate Mountain, almost altering the celestial phenomena above.

At this moment, all disciples of the Door of Desolation could sense a vast, ocean-like, towering mountain-like aura, carrying the majesty of the Divine Demon, descending directly from the sky.

In that instant, a whirlwind surged, and Desolate Mountain seemed as if it was about to collapse, trembling violently.

Rumble!

The massive Divine Demon Phantasm converged, forming a tall figure, with a graceful silhouette behind it.

At the moment, facing that figure, all the disciples started to tremble, and even the elders of the Door of Desolation were filled with fear inside, especially when they saw that proud face on the figure, their hearts were completely engulfed in terror.

"F-Feng Chu, it’s actually Feng Chu?"

"Feng Chu actually descended upon the Zone of Desolation, could it be that Ye Mo was killed by Feng Chu?"

"Look who’s behind him? It seems to be our Sect Leader, Leader Xiao."

Listening to the discussions in the air, everyone began talking.

Feng Chu’s gaze, like a sharp blade, pierced through space, capturing the entire Desolate Mountain in his eyes. At this point, he no longer cared about Desolate Mountain, nor about the Tianyi Sect.

Unlocking the Six Paths Secret Realm meant the Door of Desolation would be completely destroyed, yet he didn’t mind in the slightest.

His establishment of the Tianyi Sect was mainly to help Zi Ning obtain the key to the Six Dao Treasures, collecting the seven Ancient Evil Weapons. With his current power, there was no need to fear Zi Ning.

Zi Ning had always silently instructed him from behind, wanting to obtain the Six Dao Treasures. She concealed her identity to infiltrate the Door of Desolation, aiming to find out the whereabouts of the Six Dao Treasures’ key.

"A bunch of ant-like beings, the Door of Desolation brings me no memories anymore."

Feng Chu spoke lightly and then roared abruptly.

"Ye Mo, seven days have passed, are you still not coming out?"

The voice, like a rolling thunder, descended from the sky, resonating clearly in the ears of everyone within the Desolate Mountain.

All disciples at Desolate Mountain, even Zhou Jin and others guarding Desolate Mountain, were deeply shocked by Feng Chu’s aura. They even felt that not even Ye Mo was as formidable as he.

"Is this the person the Alliance Hierarch wants to deal with? Such formidable strength, merely feeling the aura emanating from him causes an oppressive feeling. Why do such powerful beings keep appearing in the Zone of Desolation?"

"Indeed, he’s openly calling out the Alliance Hierarch’s name in Desolate Mountain; could the Alliance Hierarch truly be on Desolate Mountain?"

Feng Chu’s voice incited discussions among the people of the Five Element League.

"Feng Chu, if you want the key, you can have it, but release Yueyue."

A flash of red light streaked across, and Ye Mo’s figure instantly appeared in front of Feng Chu. He stood in mid-air, staring intently at the woman behind Feng Chu. Seeing she was unharmed, his heart eased.

"The key, then?"

Feng Chu’s eyes were icy as he folded his arms behind his back, speaking coldly.

"If you want the key, release Yueyue first, or else don’t even think about getting the key to the Six Dao Treasures."

Ye Mo’s eyes were cold as he spoke softly.

If he handed over the key first and the other party reneged and took Xiao Yue away, what would he do? Without the key, he had no leverage.

"It’s not impossible to release her, but how can you assure me that the key you give me is real?"

Feng Chu’s gaze also revealed a hint of gloom. Their intention was not to simply exchange Xiao Yue for a key; such a trade was too risky. If the key Ye Mo produced was a fake, he would have no way of verifying its authenticity.

"What do you want?"

Ye Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke lightly.

"Use your key to open the Six Paths Secret Realm. As long as you successfully open the Six Paths Secret Realm, I will release her."

Feng Chu smiled.

The Six Paths Secret Realm is essentially the core of Desolate Mountain. Once opened, Desolate Mountain will be destroyed, and the floating Six Dao Palaces will be annihilated in an instant.

This is precisely why the Door of Desolation’s Sect Leader has hesitated to open the Secret Realm. Once opened, the Six Dao Palaces would be completely destroyed, and reconstruction would undoubtedly take much time and effort.

However, the situation has escalated to this point, and opening the Six Paths Secret Realm has become inevitable.

"All disciples of the Six Dao Palaces of the Door of Desolation, evacuate the Six Dao Palaces immediately."

Ye Mo shouted loudly: "Now, to rescue the woman I love, I must completely destroy the Door of Desolation, but rest assured, I will return to you a stronger Door of Desolation."

"Are you really going to open the Six Paths Secret Realm? The six Dao Palaces float in the air due to the power of the Secret Realm. If it’s opened, the Six Dao Palaces will be utterly destroyed."

"The several-thousand-year foundation of the Door of Desolation, is it really going to be completely destroyed?"

"No, don’t, we won’t leave the Door of Desolation. We can’t stand by and watch you destroy the Door of Desolation out of your own selfishness."

"That’s right, we absolutely won’t leave the Door of Desolation. Even if we die, we won’t leave."

Several elders and disciples spoke up.

Some disciples and elders, though weak in cultivation, have deep feelings for the Door of Desolation after spending so long there. Now, with the recent crisis at the Door of Desolation just lifted, coupled with the array Ye Mo has set up, the situation is showing signs of improvement.

Now, whether it be Ye Mo or Feng Chu, for their own personal interests, they want to open the Secret Realm and completely destroy the Door of Desolation. This is something they absolutely cannot accept.

"Haha, Ye Mo, I’m eager to see how you will choose."

Feng Chu watched the scene with interest. If he could obtain the key immediately, he would unhesitatingly cleave Desolate Mountain apart, disregarding the life and death of those at the Door of Desolation, but Ye Mo was different.

He wanted to see, how exactly would Ye Mo choose.

"Everyone, I understand your deep affection for the Door of Desolation, and I share it. After all, I too came out of the Door of Desolation, and I also don’t want it to be destroyed. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have expended so much heart force to set up this Energy Formation."

Ye Mo spoke softly, scanning over the familiar faces, and continued, "However, the Door of Desolation represents a spirit, not this building. A destroyed building can be rebuilt."

Ye Mo’s head slowly turned, looking lovingly at Xiao Yue: "But once you lose the woman you love, she is lost forever."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue’s delicate body quivered slightly, her eyes brimming with tears.

Subsequently, Ye Mo’s expression changed again, turning grim and decisive: "I, Ye Mo, am not one to uphold grand principles. Meeting someone you truly love in a lifetime is not easy. If you insist on not leaving, I will still cleave this Desolate Mountain apart."

Ye Mo’s words left everyone shocked; they hadn’t anticipated that Ye Mo would make such a decision.
