The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 864: Chapter 865: The Enemy Emerges

On the second day, before dawn, with the sky still shrouded in gray, Liu Qingtai arrived at the Abandoned Sword Pavilion.

The two stealthily left from the back door of the Heavenly Sword Society. Nobody knew their mission to Ice Abyss Island’s Ice Abyss Mountain to seek experts was initiated in secrecy. If Du Feng’s group discovered it, they’d likely send people to chase and kill them.

"Qingtai, what is Du Feng’s strength like?"

While walking on the road, Ye Mo suddenly asked.

"He is also a strong practitioner of the Qiankun Fifth Rotation. Now, with the Star Sea Sword in my hand, and having successfully refined the Ice Soul Sword Qi, Du Feng may not be my match."

Liu Qingtai spoke with confidence all over her face.

"Qiankun Fifth Rotation, if I could advance to the Cosmos Realm, I might also stand a chance."

Ye Mo was very aware of his own strength. Currently, confronting someone with the Third Rotation of Qiankun was easy for him. Once he advanced to the Qiankun First Transformation, he would refine the Butu Tower and fully activate the Buddha Space. His strength would be far beyond a regular Martial Artist achieving the Cosmos Realm.

"Ye Mo, my grandfather has a strange temperament. When we reach the Ice Abyss Path, if he teases you, don’t get upset."

Speaking of her grandfather, Liu Qingtai also showed a slight smile.

"Mmm!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"Do you know the Divine Wind Sect? The one who tried to frame that disciple last time, he is from the Divine Wind Sect, and his Sect Master Li Shenfeng was the one who killed my mother. My grandfather is a master of Qiankun Seventh Rotation, eager to break through and avenge my mother. He criticizes my father for being useless despite having the power of the Qiankun Ninth Rotation but failing to avenge my mother. But my grandfather didn’t know, back when the Heavenly Sword Society and Divine Wind Sect nearly went to war, even if we destroyed the Divine Wind Sect, our Heavenly Sword Society would suffer heavy losses."

At the mention of Li Shenfeng, Liu Qingtai’s delicate face showed an obvious anger: "Before establishing the Divine Wind Sect, Li Shenfeng was known for his wicked deeds of robbery and vice. Fearing revenge from his enemies, he changed his name to Li Shenfeng and established the Divine Wind Sect. His old name was Li Yuanba, a name that many still recognize."

"What? Li Yuanba?"

Hearing the name, Ye Mo’s pupils narrowed, and he said in disbelief: "Are you saying that Li Shenfeng’s previous name was Li Yuanba?"

Before leaving, Cai Ling had informed Ye Mo of her clan’s enemy. It was Li Yuanba who had wiped out the Nine-Tailed Clan to seize a treasure, leaving Cai Ling as a clueless young fox.

"You know him?"

Noticing the change in Ye Mo’s tone, Liu Qingtai was surprised.

"Yes, one of my other purposes in entering the Lingwu Continent is to find out his whereabouts. Once I excel in cultivation, I will seek revenge."

Ye Mo nodded and said.

"Ye Mo, don’t act impulsively. This guy, ten years ago, was at the Qiankun Eight Rotations, and he might have already advanced to the Qiankun Ninth Rotation by now."

Liu Qingtai immediately reminded him.

"I understand."

"All right, let’s speed up now, Ice Abyss Island is a perfect place for cultivation, let’s go!"

In half a day’s time, the two flew through the air rapidly, sometimes leaping over the sea. Before long, a dense layer of frost and snow mountain appeared before Ye Mo’s eyes.

Nanling is mostly oceanic, and Ice Abyss Mountain is situated on an island.

Amidst the frost, the two traveled for about an hour when suddenly, a massive ice island appeared before them.

From a vantage point, Ye Mo saw numerous tiny human figures on the ice mountain island.

Approaching the northern coast, Ye Mo could even see a variety of ships, seemingly transporting things, and there were many buildings on the island.

Vaguely, there was a gigantic array on the island. Anyone entering would be instantly detected.

"The Ice Abyss Mountain on Ice Abyss Island is supposed to be deserted, only my grandfather resides here, so why are there suddenly so many people?"

Concealed within the clouds, Liu Qingtai was instantly surprised.

"How long has it been since you last saw your grandfather?"

Ye Mo asked.

"About ten years!"

Liu Qingtai replied.

"There may have been some changes on the island, ten years is a long time. Hmm? What is that?"

As Ye Mo spoke, suddenly two strong Sword Qi streaks came through the air, descending onto Ice Abyss Island.

"Du Feng and Hsiao Hai?"

When they recognized the two figures, they were both greatly astonished. One was Hsiao Hai, and taking the lead was Du Feng.

The two landed directly on the island, immediately greeted by a few people approaching them.

"What business brings Du Feng of the Heavenly Sword Society to our Ice Abyss Island today?"

The man who approached exuded a powerful aura. Seeing the two descend, he didn’t attack but instead asked.

"I heard you were at the Ice Abyss Path, so I came specially. In the Divine Wind Sect, all the big matters are under your control, Senior Brother, so naturally, I came to find you."

Du Feng said with a faint smile.

"That person is Ma Liang, the Senior Brother of the Divine Wind Sect, renowned for his Divine Touch, extremely powerful. Unexpectedly, they are colluding together."

Seeing Ma Liang, Liu Qingtai’s face also showed a trace of anger.

The so-called Senior Brother Ma Liang had an aura of Desolate Qi Domination emanating from him, making him unfathomable. Ye Mo could even feel the force of destruction transmitted from him and the powerful fluctuations of Heart Spirit Strength. This person was at least at the Qiankun Fifth Rotation.

"Have you found out? Is Liu Xinghai already dead?"

Ma Liang said coldly.

"Recently, there’s been some chaos. A Martial Artist named ’Ye Mo’ appeared in our Heavenly Sword Society and thwarted my plan. He holds the Star Sea Sword, saying Liu Xinghai entrusted it to him, and also claims Liu Xinghai has advanced to the legendary Wheel of Reincarnation Realm."

Liu Qingtai started to laugh bitterly.

"What? Wheel of Reincarnation Realm? Impossible! The Sect Master ambushed him back then, severely injuring the Sect Master, who hasn’t recovered yet. He then killed that old thing on Ice Abyss Island, took over the island, and used a significant amount of Spirit Stones to cultivate a Divine Wind Tower there, aiding the Sect Master in healing swiftly. It could even help him break through further, advancing to the Qiankun Ninth Rotation. Liu Xinghai is lucky to be alive, advancing to the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm is simply out of the question!"

Ma Liang said coldly.

"You mean that Ye Mo lied to me?"

Du Feng asked.

"Though I don’t know who this Ye Mo you’re talking about is, Liu Xinghai advancing to the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm is definitely impossible. If you still can’t control the Heavenly Sword Society, in a few days, we’ll send people from the Divine Wind Sect to take over your Heavenly Sword Society."

With a stern face, Ma Liang said.

"What? Send people to take over? Does that mean your Divine Wind Sect has many experts advancing?"

Du Feng was utterly shocked, and even Hsiao Hai behind him was taken aback.

"Over the past ten years, our Divine Wind Sect has been biding our time, conserving strength. All third-rate forces in Nanling will be annexed by us. Those who resist will be killed."

Ma Liang’s face was full of arrogance.
