The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 866: Chapter 867: Tower Heist

Ye Mo also knew that destroying the Divine Wind Tower would definitely attract others’ attention, but he couldn’t care about that now. He immediately summoned the Devil Refining Gourd and absorbed all the Spirit Stones into it. However, such a vast quantity, even with the Devil Refining Gourd, would consume quite a bit of time.

"Who are you? To possess an artifact like the Devil Refining Gourd, why do you oppose my Divine Wind Sect?"

Ma Liang, who arrived instantly, saw Ye Mo using the Devil Refining Gourd to absorb Spirit Stones and felt both angry and pleased. Angry because the opposing party had destroyed the Divine Wind Tower, pleased because the opposing party possessed the Devil Refining Gourd. If he could seize the Devil Refining Gourd from him, Li Shenfeng surely wouldn’t blame him.

"Ye Mo, is it really you?"

Even if he turned to ashes, Hsiao Hai would recognize Ye Mo. He never thought Ye Mo would come to Ice Abyss Island.

"Ma Liang, he’s Ye Mo, the one who ruined my plans. I never thought he’d have a rare artifact like the Devil Refining Gourd. If you can seize it, the Sect Master won’t blame you."

Du Feng also stepped forward and said viciously.

"You’re Ye Mo? Why come to my Ice Abyss Island? Tell me, who instructed you? Without someone backing you, you surely wouldn’t have the guts to oppose our Divine Wind Sect."

Ma Liang said coldly.

A mere Martial Artist couldn’t have the audacity to openly challenge the Divine Wind Sect and even head to the Heavenly Sword Society to disrupt Du Feng’s plan of seizing the position of Sect Leader.

"Just a small Divine Wind Sect, I belong to the Yuwen Clan. You must have heard of the Yuwen Clan, right?"

Ye Mo said randomly.

"What? You’re from the Yuwen Clan?"

Ma Liang was startled, then smirked coldly: "Who are you deceiving? The Yuwen Clan never meddles in the affairs of Nanling; how could they send you here?"

"Looks like the Yuwen Clan is also a family near Nanling."

Ye Mo thought secretly and then said, "This you don’t know. The eldest young master of the Yuwen Clan, Yuwen Ke, has returned from training in the Zone of Chaos and is favored by the Family Head, who wanted to entrust him with some family matters. Yuwen Ke immediately targeted Nanling, wanting to conquer it and unify all Third-rate Forces to become an auxiliary force to the Yuwen Clan."

"Who are you trying to deceive? I saw Young Master Yuwen a few days ago. He indeed wants to conquer Nanling but is entrusting it to our Divine Wind Sect. You seem to know quite a bit about the Yuwen Clan. Today, I can’t let you leave."

Ma Liang was already impatient listening to Ye Mo’s nonsense. He immediately took out a three-foot-long brush, waving it repeatedly in the air, forming a huge tiger that lunged at Ye Mo.

The tiger roars continuously, earth-shaking.

Ye Mo immediately cut off the Devil Refining Gourd’s absorption of Spirit Stones and gathered a Demon Dragon Spear in his hand, directly facing the tiger.

Boom!

Instantly, Ye Mo felt an unresistable power of tiger roar surging into his body, causing it to tremble thunderously, retreating repeatedly, crashing into the Ice Temple, which began collapsing and buried Ye Mo deeply within.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, let me kill him for you."

Hsiao Hai had long wanted to kill Ye Mo as soon as possible. Seizing this opportunity, wielding a longsword, he charged forward like an elephant, swinging several strikes to split the collapsed Ice Temple wide open but found no trace of Ye Mo.

"Where is he?"

Hsiao Hai said in surprise.

"Hsiao Hai, deploy your field; some fields have concealment properties."

Ma Liang, experienced in such matters, immediately guessed Ye Mo might have the ability to hide.

"Alright!"

Hsiao Hai’s field was the Deep Sea Field; when deployed, it felt like one entered the deep sea, receiving water resistance while Hsiao Hai himself remained unaffected.

But before he could fully deploy, he felt a massive attraction pulling his body tightly.

"Ah, it’s the Devil Refining Gourd!"

Realizing this, Hsiao Hai activated the Xuan Aura within to enhance his body with space and escaped instantly, but his body was still locked by the Devil Refining Gourd’s attraction.

"I can’t believe the Devil Refining Gourd’s attraction can keep locking onto me."

Hsiao Hai burst away from Ye Mo.

But suddenly, he saw a white silhouette descending before him, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Senior Sister Qingtai?"

Hsiao Hai stared at the unexpected newcomer, wide-eyed, knowing immediately she was with Ye Mo.

"Senior Sister Qingtai, what brings you here?"

Hsiao Hai said with a smile, feigning ignorance.

"The more you pretend, the more pathetic you seem to me. You know well how I used to treat you."

Liu Qingtai said coldly.

"Haha."

Seeing Liu Qingtai’s cold demeanor, Hsiao Hai laughed grimly: "Liu Qingtai, you’re just a sickling who will die sooner or later. Why should I waste my affections on you? Once I have power and position, I’ll have everything. Countless women prettier than you, why should I provoke the Senior Brother for you? The Heavenly Sword Society will belong to the Senior Brother sooner or later."

"You’ve got nothing to say, right? You know your life won’t last long; your wounds are beyond healing."

Hsiao Hai continued: "Don’t think Ye Mo is a man you can rely on. Compared to me or the Senior Brother, he’s far inferior. He’s just using you because women are destined to be used, merely tools for men’s relief."

"Then go to hell!"

Liu Qingtai’s brows knitted, and she struck Hsiao Hai with a palm, like a Breath of the Abyss, breaking through his defenses completely, making him vanish instantly.

He wasn’t struck away by Liu Qingtai but was directly absorbed into the Devil Refining Gourd by Ye Mo.

"Qingtai, guard the Devil Refining Gourd for me. I need to hide inside; give me the time of half an incense stick."

Ye Mo spoke, and a Devil Refining Gourd floated in the air. Ye Mo transformed into a stream of light and entered the Devil Refining Gourd.

Inside the Devil Refining Gourd, Hsiao Hai roared again: "Liu Qingtai, listen to him. He’s just using you! Once he successfully advances, he’ll distance himself from you, and no one will care for a sickling like you, haha!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtai’s face turned pale, staring at the Devil Refining Gourd in the sky. Indeed, she was disturbed by Hsiao Hai’s words, her resolve wavering.

At this moment, Ma Liang, Du Feng, and several Qiankun Fourth Rotation experts arrived, trapping Liu Qingtai.

"Looks like you’re with that Ye Mo. Since you came to Ice Abyss Island, you better stay here."

Du Feng said viciously.

"So it’s Liu Qingtai. I can’t believe after ten years you’ve become so attractive. But I heard in your youth, you were struck by the Sect Master, and if not for your father’s efforts, you would’ve died long ago, yet left sick roots."

Ma Liang looked at Liu Qingtai and sneered.

"Du Feng, you’ve colluded with the Divine Wind Sect; your conspiracy is exposed today. If I go back and report to the Elders, those supporting you would surely kill you."

Colluding with the Divine Wind Sect is treacherous; though the Elders support Du Feng, it doesn’t mean rebellion. Du Feng’s collusion with the Divine Wind Sect warrants death.

"Do you think you can leave?"

"Du Feng, stop wasting words with her. Finish quickly, capture her, and stop Ye Mo, who’s hiding in the Devil Refining Gourd, from breaking through. Though his success poses little threat to us, it will deplete the energy within the Devil Refining Gourd."
