The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 870: Chapter 871: Zi-Colored Silhouette

Ma Liang looked at Ye Mo with a face full of fear and hurriedly said, "The Sect Master is currently recuperating and regaining his strength, but he has many masters under him. Those at Qiankun Sixth Rotation and Seventh Rotation are experts from the Yuwen Clan, ordered by the Sect Master to unify the third-rate forces in Nanling, including all third-rate forces like the Heavenly Sword Society, which cannot escape."

Ma Liang said everything in one breath, fearing that Ye Mo might grow impatient and kill him outright.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo frowned, squeezed with his large hand, and the cries were immediately silenced. The senior brother of the Divine Wind Sect was completely dead.

Ye Mo swept up the Sumeru rings from the two men and hurried to Liu Qingtai’s side. By this moment, she had completely fainted.

Ye Mo gazed at the area of Liu Qingtai’s wounds, puzzled by the strands of black lightning entwined there. Neither Ma Liang nor Du Feng were martial artists with the lightning element, so why did Liu Qingtai have such injuries?

Afterward, Ye Mo recalled Du Feng’s words.

"Could these injuries have been inflicted by Li Shenfeng when Qingtai was young? Truly ruthless, worse than a beast, not even sparing children."

Ye Mo could sense that this black lightning was no ordinary electric current; it had been sealed in Liu Qingtai’s left chest for years, forming thunder poison.

The thunder poison had accumulated in that area for years; if not sealed, it would certainly kill under the force of that lightning.

Without hesitation, Ye Mo carried Liu Qingtai to a cave and lit a fire.

"Saving people is urgent, please forgive my offense."

Ye Mo directly removed Liu Qingtai’s upper garment, revealing her blood-soaked body, which made Ye Mo feel slightly compassionate.

Especially beneath the left peak, there was a terrifying sword wound. Although the bleeding had stopped thanks to Ye Mo, the black lightning continued to flicker at the wound.

"That Du Feng is ruthless; a single sword pierced the seal laid by Liu Xinghai, causing the seal to break. If promptly removed, the thunder poison might not spread."

Ye Mo looked at Liu Qingtai’s wound, clearing his mind of distractions. He stretched out a hand, covering the wound.

Immediately, a sensation of softness coursed into Ye Mo’s palm, but he paid no heed to it, focusing on using the Rising Dragon Pillar to absorb the black thunder poison.

The black thunder poison had lived in Liu Qingtai’s body for nearly twenty years, growing stronger over time. The Rising Dragon Pillar couldn’t absorb it all at once, only bit by bit.

As the Rising Dragon Pillar continuously absorbed, Liu Qingtai’s painful expression began to ease.

Ye Mo also sank his mind, closing his eyes with utmost concentration to stimulate the Rising Dragon Pillar and absorb the black thunder poison.

Not long after, Liu Qingtai’s eyelashes slightly trembled, then her eyes suddenly opened.

In front of her was an exceptionally handsome face; perhaps Ye Mo’s advancement to the Cosmos Realm had made his skin whiter and his features more refined.

"I’m not dead?"

Liu Qingtai looked shocked, then followed Ye Mo’s arm, lowering her gaze, to find that Ye Mo was holding her there.

A tingling sensation ensued, not from Ye Mo’s large hand touching her there, but from the thunder poison struggling and rebelling in her left chest.

At this moment, she understood that Ye Mo was helping treat her injury, but recalling Ye Mo had seen her body, she immediately felt a sense of shyness.

"How do you feel now?"

Ye Mo sensed that Liu Qingtai had regained consciousness and couldn’t help asking.

"I feel much better now. You actually managed to absorb the thunder poison inside me—it’s truly amazing,"

Liu Qingtai said with surprise.

This thunder poison had troubled her for over twenty years; if it could be removed, she would have done so long ago rather than dragged it to the present.

"Yes, to completely clear the thunder poison from inside you requires the time of one incense stick, so please bear with it a little longer."

Ye Mo said.

"You absorbed the thunder poison inside me; what will happen to you?"

Liu Qingtai asked worriedly.

Ye Mo was directly absorbing it—transmitted from her body into Ye Mo’s—even her father couldn’t handle the black lightning. If it entered Ye Mo’s body, wouldn’t he suffer the pain she had endured?

"No problem, this lightning can’t harm me; in fact, it will be converted into energy for my body."

After Ye Mo finished speaking, he fell silent again, continuing to stimulate the Rising Dragon Pillar, and the cave gradually became quiet.

Only then did Liu Qingtai seriously appraise Ye Mo for the first time: sword-like brows into the temples, a well-defined face with a heroic spirit between the brows.

However, contrary to expectation, Ye Mo’s actions made Liu Qingtai ponder. Logically speaking, in such a situation, wasn’t it the time for Ye Mo to admire her body’s beauty? Why didn’t he look? Could her figure hold no attraction for him?

Thinking like this, Liu Qingtai began feeling somewhat dejected.

"Alright, the black thunder poison inside your body has been entirely cleared by me."

Ye Mo immediately withdrew his hand, stood up, and slowly moved to the cave entrance, saying, "Dress up. Your grandfather was likely killed by Li Shenfeng, and in three days, Li Shenfeng may send experts to take over the Heavenly Sword Society. We must quickly return to discuss strategies."

"What? In three days Li Shenfeng will send experts to take over the Heavenly Sword Society?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingtai immediately dressed, speaking in astonishment.

"Yes, they said that apart from Li Shenfeng, the Divine Wind Sect has many experts at Qiankun Sixth and Seventh Rotation, including several from the Yuwen Clan."

Ye Mo nodded.

"Ten years ago, my father didn’t want to oppose the Divine Wind Sect head-on because there were many mid-tier experts. Now the Heavenly Sword Society only has two elders at Qiankun Sixth Rotation: Elder Sword Child and Elder Jian Yun."

Liu Qingtai furrowed her brows, stepped forward and said, "Ye Mo, let’s return to the Heavenly Sword Society now."

"No, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. We will rest here for a day and return to the Heavenly Sword Society tomorrow morning."

Ye Mo immediately stopped Liu Qingtai: "I understand your concern for the Heavenly Sword Society’s safety, but if you can’t persevere, how can you protect the Heavenly Sword Society?"

"Alright, I will slowly nurse myself."

Liu Qingtai’s heart felt a sweetness that wasn’t visible on her face as she sat down to meditate. However, upon closing her eyes, she recalled the scene of Ye Mo dispelling the thunder poison.

That scene might be unforgettable for her lifetime.

Lingwu Continent, Zone of Desolation, Tianwu Kingdom.

The Door of Desolation was established near Tianyong City, nearing dusk. Reconstruction continued, and from a bird’s eye view, the Door of Desolation was taking initial shape, with the Six Dao Palaces built.

In the sky, a purple figure transformed into a stream of light, fleeting by, unnoticed by ordinary people, even Feng Chu standing nearby couldn’t detect it.

"Eighteen years had passed, yet finally I found a way to re-enter the Zone of Desolation. Just integrate the Origin Power into my Energy Clone, and my true self won’t possess the might of a strong person. Even if entering the Zone of Desolation, it wouldn’t cause a regional collapse. Brother Qing, and our child, how are you now?"

The silhouette lingered over Limestone City, her frame hinted at excitement. Even with the strength of Wheel of Reincarnation Peak, she couldn’t control her trembling form.
