The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 860: Chapter 861: The Sect Leader’s Personal Expert

"What? Eighteen Demon Pills can also qualify for promotion?"

At this moment, a disciple began to feel confused.

"Zhao Li, as a disciple in the Qiankun First Transformation, you haven’t even obtained eighteen Demon Pills, those eighteen might be among the top three results."

Jiang Yuan immediately stepped forward and said.

"You!"

The disciple indeed hadn’t slain 18 oceanic beasts, his face turning pale with anger.

However, the result of eighteen Demon Pills was already the most outstanding among the current results.

"We shouldn’t take twenty pills as the benchmark for advancement, maybe not even that many have been achieved this time. In past sessions, collecting fifteen pills was already quite good."

"Yes, and look at Brother Ye Mo, he seems to be unscathed. It appears he hasn’t even exerted his full strength, while the others are all bruised and battered."

Among the participating trial disciples, there were praises for Ye Mo, which made Lu Yang and his two companions reveal a deep disdain.

"Only eighteen Demon Pills, at that time I will make you lose face for daring to offend the senior brother."

After Lu Yang spoke, he felt both anxious and impatiently waiting.

"Lu Yang, Lu Hai, Lu Tian, there’s no need to check your scores, the three of you have slain a total of 150 oceanic beasts and have advanced directly."

When Elder Jian Tong read out the names of the three, he did so in a very ordinary tone, without any hint of praise.

"These three actually teamed up to slay 150 oceanic beasts, truly impressive. Elder Jian Tong was likely observing them the whole time, otherwise, he couldn’t have known their score. But for such a score, Elder Jian Tong really should praise them."

Listening to the disciples’ discussions, Lu Yang felt both shocked and angry. He originally thought that their performance would surely receive praise from Elder Jian Tong, but the other party said nothing, in such an ordinary tone, making them nearly go crazy.

"Ye Mo, the Sect Leader said that when your trial is over, he will have me take you to the Sect Leader’s Pavilion to see her."

Elder Jian Tong looked at Ye Mo with a cheerful smile, which caused the surrounding Servants Disciples to be astonished again.

"Directly go to the Sect Leader’s Pavilion to see the Sect Leader? And have Elder Jian Tong lead the way?!"

"Although Ye Mo has helped the Sect Leader, there’s no need for such courtesy. In addition to elders and personal disciples, no disciple has ever been able to directly enter the Sect Leader’s Pavilion, let alone have Elder Jian Tong lead the way."

The crowd was once again surprised, and the achievements of Lu Yang and his two companions were instantly forgotten by everyone.

"Thank you, Elder Jian Tong!"

Ye Mo cupped his hands, and under the amazement of the crowd, left the square with Elder Jian Tong.

Moments later, Ye Mo, under the guidance of Elder Jian Tong, arrived at a magnificent building, which was precisely the Sect Leader’s Pavilion. It was once the residence of Liu Xinghai and now was where Liu Qingtai lived.

Ye Mo followed Jian Tong into the Sect Leader’s Pavilion, then the inner cabinet. Upon stepping into the inner cabinet, a fragrance wafted over, as Liu Qingtai stood by the window. When she sensed someone entering, she turned around and looked at Ye Mo and Jian Tong.

"Qingtai, I will take my leave first."

Jian Tong said as he left the inner cabinet, though he didn’t go far.

"Qingtai, why did you summon me?"

Ye Mo curiously asked.

"I hope you can help me."

Liu Qingtai said softly, "I’ve seen your performance today, and I know you are not an ordinary martial artist. With your performance in the Star Sea Space, your combat power is at least at the second or even third rotation of Qiankun."

"So what? My strength can’t even compare to the elite disciples, how can I help you?"

Ye Mo smiled wryly, now staying at the Heavenly Sword Society, he was forced to do so. He couldn’t stay in the Heavenly Sword Society forever.

"As a woman, it’s hard to secure my position in the Heavenly Sword Society. I hope for someone to help me. Your courage in the square and your performance in the Star Sea Space are enough to help me. I will make you the Sect Leader’s guard. Although your current strength is insufficient to protect me now, I believe it won’t be long before your strength grows stronger."

Liu Qingtai stated.

If not for the trial in the Star Sea Space, Liu Qingtai wouldn’t have made this decision.

Moreover, she had another reason, which was the Ice Soul Sword Qi. Liu Xinghai had once told her that stripping off Sword Qi cultivation is very difficult, even for Wheel of Reincarnation Realm it might not be possible to fully strip it.

And the Ice Soul Sword Qi Ye Mo showed that day was most likely not stripped by her father, but acquired by Ye Mo himself.

The value of Sword Qi cultivated by a Cosmos Realm expert is imaginable, yet he silently gifted it to her.

"Sorry, maybe I can’t help you."

Ye Mo refused.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtai didn’t show any surprise. She smiled softly, "Actually, I should have guessed long ago, my father is probably long dead, and you just found my father’s remains. Perhaps you saw his last words and decided to help me, is that right?"

Seeing Ye Mo not speaking, she continued, "Ever since being harmed by Hsiao Hai, I thought I would never trust men again. But I know you helped me without any reason, otherwise, you wouldn’t have taken out that extremely precious Ice Soul Sword Qi to shut those old guys up."

Listening to Liu Qingtai’s words, Ye Mo was slightly shocked, never expecting this woman to be so astute.

"In Nanling, numerous third-rate forces last over a century, which is already considered good. Although my father died, I don’t want to see the Heavenly Sword Society he painstakingly built being handed over or annexed by other clans. Now that I am in power, I’ve oppressed Du Feng’s supporters, who already have some rebellious intentions."

Liu Qingtai added.

"Do you have any strategy in mind now?"

Ye Mo sighed and asked.

"I plan to go to Ice Abyss Mountain to find my grandfather. I want to ask him to come and help suppress these old fogies. Although he loathes my father, he shouldn’t deny his granddaughter, right?"

Liu Qingtai replied softly.

"Originally, I intended for Elder Jian Tong to accompany me, but if we both leave the Heavenly Sword Society, chaos will ensue. So I hope you can accompany me, as you’re the only one I can trust now."

Liu Qingtai looked at Ye Mo with her beautiful eyes, seeming to anticipate his answer.

"I can agree to your request, but I have a condition."

Ye Mo smiled and said.

Hearing this, Liu Qingtai’s body trembled, her heart began to race, and her breathing quickened: "Could it be that he wants me to offer myself? He shouldn’t be such a person, but if he really says that, should I refuse?"

"What condition do you want me to agree to?"

Liu Qingtai asked hesitantly, her breath fragrant like orchids.
