The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 872: Chapter 873: High-Level Meeting

After one night, Liu Qingtai’s injuries healed, and her strength also returned to its peak state. The two of them immediately headed to the Heavenly Sword Society.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Sword Society, Liu Qingtai immediately summoned all the masters and elders to the Sect Leader’s Pavilion.

Liu Qingtai sat in the central position, while Ye Mo stood beside her.

Sitting on either side were the elders and masters of the Heavenly Sword Society, with one side supporting Liu Qingtai and the other side supporting Du Feng.

At this moment, they still didn’t know that Du Feng was a traitor to the Heavenly Sword Society.

"Sect Leader, why have you called us here today? I am about to break through to the Qiankun Seventh Rotation."

A white-bearded elder sitting in the foremost on the right side said casually with his eyes slightly closed.

"Elder Jian Yun, I have two announcements to make today regarding why I’ve called you here."

With a solemn expression, Liu Qingtai said, "The first matter is that Du Feng is a traitor to our Heavenly Sword Society. He conspired with the Divine Wind Sect to take control of our society, and I’ve already killed him."

"What? Du Feng conspired with the Divine Wind Sect? How is this possible?"

One of the elders said in surprise.

"What? You killed Feng’er?"

A master named Du Qinghe, upon hearing of Du Feng’s death, immediately flew into a rage. "Liu Qingtai, I think you’re abusing your power, fearing that Feng’er would threaten your position, so you killed him."

"If you don’t give me an explanation today, I don’t think you can be the Sect Leader anymore."

Du Qinghe roared in anger.

"That’s right, there’s no evidence now, you keep saying Du Feng is a traitor who conspired with the Divine Wind Sect, what proof do you have?"

"Liu Qingtai, I didn’t expect you to be so malicious at such a young age."

The elders and masters supporting Du Feng no longer even addressed Liu Qingtai as Sect Leader, directly calling her by name.

"How dare you."

Ye Mo immediately reprimanded, glaring coldly at the black-faced master: "How dare you, to directly call the Sect Leader by her name. This is a high-level meeting of the Heavenly Sword Society. Have you not been a master long enough to know to abide by the rules?"

"Who do you think you are to lecture me?"

The black-faced master glared at Ye Mo, suddenly shouting loudly.

"I am the Sect Leader’s guard."

Ye Mo said coldly.

"The Sect Leader’s guard? A mere boy of Qiankun First Transformation dares to be the Sect Leader’s guard? Are you protecting the Sect Leader, or the Sect Leader protecting you?"

The black-faced master spoke as the elders sitting nearby all showed disdained expressions.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a large hand appear out of nowhere in front of him. Seeing this, the black-faced master knew Ye Mo couldn’t hold back, sneered, and extended his palm reluctantly. Fierce flames rose, forming a huge flaming palm to strike at Ye Mo’s hand.

The two hands collided violently, and the flaming palm extinguished instantly, causing his body to step back a few paces.

The black-faced elder’s face looked grim. Despite Ye Mo striking first, the previous scene had already shown that his strength was inferior to Ye Mo’s.

The elders and masters supporting Du Feng looked incredulous at the scene, clearly surprised that Ye Mo could gain an advantage in the clash.

"Black-faced old ghost, made a fool of yourself now, didn’t you?"

A master supporting Liu Qingtai began to mock.

"What did you say? Do you want to fight?"

The black-faced master’s face darkened, shouting loudly.

"Shut up, all of you. I didn’t call you here today to bicker. I said Du Feng is a traitor to the Sword Sect, and, of course, I have evidence. Ye Mo, bring out Hsiao Hai."

Liu Qingtai immediately displayed her authority as Sect Leader, her loud voice shocking everyone into silence.

Ye Mo nodded, waved his arm, and Hsiao Hai appeared before everyone’s eyes, crawling on the ground, looking utterly miserable.

"Hsiao Hai, if you dare utter one lie, you should know the consequences."

Ye Mo said coldly, "Is Du Feng conspiring with the Divine Wind Sect?"

Recalling the scene of Ye Mo’s promotion in the Devil Refining Gourd, Hsiao Hai’s body trembled once more, fear written all over his face: "Yes, Senior Brother wanted the position of Sect Leader and secretly conspired with the Divine Wind Sect to take over the Heavenly Sword Society in one fell swoop and make it a subsidiary of the Divine Wind Sect."

"What did you say? Feng’er really conspired with the Divine Wind Sect?"

Du Qinghe said in disbelief.

"Elder Du, I truly dare not lie."

Hsiao Hai said repeatedly.

"Die!"

Du Qinghe slammed his large hand down, striking Hsiao Hai on the forehead, and his body immediately exploded and died.

Ye Mo did not stop it, but instead laughed and said, "I think the various elders and masters already understand."

"What’s the second thing?"

Elder Jian Yun said indifferently.

"The second thing is that the Divine Wind Sect is likely to send experts to incorporate our Heavenly Sword Society. Currently, the strongest in our Heavenly Sword Society are two elders, Jian Tong and Jian Yun. It’s said that the Divine Wind Sect, apart from Li Shenfeng, also has a Qiankun Seventh Rotation expert. Do any of you have a plan?"

Liu Qingtai said.

"The Divine Wind Sect wants to take action against us?"

Elder Jian Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, this information was obtained by Ye Mo and me from the Divine Wind Sect’s senior brother, Ma Liang. The Divine Wind Sect has already become the spokesperson of the Yuwen Clan. They plan to unify the Southern Spirit Region, not just our Heavenly Sword Society; other third-rate forces might also suffer."

Liu Qingtai nodded.

"What should we do? If they really have a Qiankun Seventh Rotation expert, we won’t stand a chance."

"Qiankun Sixth Rotation and Qiankun Seventh Rotation may only differ by one transformation, but Qiankun Seventh Rotation experts can merge land, seas, and even estates into space, forming a true space, making the power of space even stronger."

"Some Qiankun Seventh Rotation experts can even incorporate a city into their space. The larger the area they integrate, the stronger the power of space becomes."

A number of Qiankun Fifth and Sixth Rotation elders murmured among themselves.

"Elders, I’m not here to listen to you marvel at how strong Qiankun Seventh Rotation is, but to hear if you have plans to overcome this crisis."

Liu Qingtai said coldly.

"This...?"

Everyone was at a loss for words, and some elders even began to entertain thoughts of fleeing the Heavenly Sword Society.

"If only we could contact Sect Leader Liu Xinghai, this crisis would be resolved. Since Ye Mo the guard has seen Sect Leader Liu, you should know his whereabouts."

One elder said indifferently.

"These old tricks."

Ye Mo secretly sneered in his heart: "To be honest, Sect Leader Liu is already dead. No one can help us. If you harbor thoughts of leaving, I think the Sect Leader won’t stop you."

"Sect Leader Liu is dead? Didn’t you say he was still alive?"

Elder Jian Yun asked in shock.

"If I hadn’t lied to you, wouldn’t Du Feng have seized the Sect Leader’s position long ago? I think everyone present, as veterans who fought alongside Sect Leader Liu, would not want to give up the Heavenly Sword Society without a fight. If you have no way out, I might have a plan."

Ye Mo said indifferently.
