The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 876: Chapter 877: Overbearing Oppression

"This woman is formidable!"

"I’m afraid only the elders can match her. They’ve actually come to recruit our Heavenly Sword Society."

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Society looked up at the figures in the sky with trepidation. Especially upon hearing the mention of the Yuwen Clan, a primal fear surged within them. After all, a second-rate force like the Yuwen Clan was worlds apart from the third-rate Heavenly Sword Society.

Inside the Sect Leader’s Pavilion.

All the elders were gathered here, gazing worriedly at the powerful figures in the sky.

"Ye Mo, what should we do now?"

Liu Qingtai looked at the figures in the sky, her brows furrowed. She could sense that there was a powerful aura among them, one that they couldn’t possibly oppose.

From the moment those ten or so people entered the territory of the Heavenly Sword Society, Ye Mo had sensed their presence. However, he hadn’t predicted their aggressive approach, bringing out such formidable experts, which rendered his array utterly ineffective.

"So, there are indeed members of the Yuwen Clan among them."

Ye Mo asked Jian Tong, "You recognize all those old folks, don’t you?"

Jian Tong nodded and said, "All five of them are elders from the Divine Wind Sect, each a top-notch expert. Moreover, the strongest among them, if I’m not mistaken, is one of the eight Great Commanders of the Yuwen Clan, named Yuwen Hengyi, at the realm of Qiankun Seventh Rotation. He is also the young master Yuwen Ke’s master, practicing the blade technique."

"I can sense the strength of that Yuwen Hengyi."

Ye Mo stared intently at Yuwen Hengyi, his expression grim. If such a warrior really decided to strike, there’s not a single one among us who could resist. Perhaps, we might not even have the chance to escape.

Ye Mo felt an increasing apprehension, fearing the possibility of their actual attack. Now, they could only resort to their second plan.

"All of you, follow me outside, and for heaven’s sake, don’t engage."

With that, Ye Mo was the first to fly towards the plaza, and the elders, frowning, followed suit. They knew that this time, they might truly face annihilation.

Yuexiang watched as Ye Mo led a group of elders flying towards them, immediately locking onto Ye Mo. His cultivation was only at Qiankun First Transformation, yet he exuded a deeply formidable aura, making even her feel a slight danger.

However, she was a skilled master of the Yuwen Clan, each encounter fortuitous, her disposition unmatched by ordinary people.

"Is this the new Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Society? His aura is exceedingly powerful, and I can sense a Blood Fiend Energy from him. Although he is only at Qiankun First Transformation, he’s absolutely not simple."

At the moment Ye Mo landed, Yuexiang, with a calm face and a superior demeanor, looked down at Ye Mo: "Are you the newly appointed Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Society?"

"I am Ye Mo, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Society. May I ask what brings you to our Heavenly Sword Society?"

Ye Mo cupped his hands, his expression exceptionally composed and unreadable. Yet the opponent’s aura was extraordinarily strong, even stronger than Jian Tong and Jian Yun. Perhaps with the lower-grade Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, he could withstand her, but the price would be grave.

"Since you’ve prepared the array, you should know we were coming. I am from the Yuwen Clan, here on behalf of the Divine Wind Sect to recruit you. Surrender quickly and integrate into the Divine Wind Sect. In the future, you’ll be under the protection of the Yuwen Clan and will enjoy ample resources. Otherwise, only death awaits you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo’s expression changed as he coldly looked at Yuexiang, "Do you think it’s possible? Perhaps you don’t know, but our Heavenly Sword Society has already allied with the Ancient Four Divine Beasts Family, the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. They’re interested in our sword-casting technique and recruited us."

"Nonsense, I think you’re courting death!"

Yuexiang was impatient, intending to show them the might of the Yuwen Clan. Regarding Ye Mo’s mention of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, she didn’t believe it at all. The Ancient Four Divine Beasts Family, a super first-rate force, would never recruit the Heavenly Sword Society. Numerous sects sought to forge swords for the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

While speaking, Yuexiang waved her sleeve, sending a gust of wind towards Ye Mo.

Ye Mo’s expression shifted slightly, not expecting the sudden attack. He swiftly struck out with a palm, the gale colliding fiercely with the wind, producing crackling shatters and vibrations, yet Ye Mo stood immovable.

In just a single move, Yuexiang, at Qiankun Sixth Rotation, failed to gain the upper hand, causing her to lose face. Her killing aura surged, and she swiftly drew a weapon, aiming to strike at Ye Mo.

"Yuexiang, don’t be rash."

Yuwen Hengyi spoke calmly.

She didn’t dare to defy Yuwen Hengyi and retracted her weapon. Her gaze at Ye Mo was filled with venom. Failing to overpower a Qiankun First Transformation warrior as a Qiankun Sixth Rotation warrior was utterly embarrassing.

Ye Mo knew that the hostility towards him had deepened. Even if he wasn’t killed now, they might seize any opportunity to eliminate him later.

"You claim the Heavenly Sword Society has been recruited by the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, do you have any proof?"

Yuwen Hengyi looked down at Ye Mo.

"Proof? This array is the proof. It was set by a mighty being from the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. I bet you’ve never seen it. It’s the Ancient Xuan Turtle Array, protected by the Xuan Turtle, composed of ancient seals."

Ye Mo boldly lied without restraint.

Feigning submission was one way to confront them, but relying on this array could also bluff others. After all, the arrays taught to him by the little girl were all ancient seals from the charm masters, exceedingly rare even in the Zone of Seals, let alone on the Lingwu Continent.

Compared to the Yuwen Clan and the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, the difference was as vast as the heavens and the earth.

Ye Mo’s words made the members of the Yuwen Clan change their expressions.

Their initial aggressive stance, including the elders of the Divine Wind Sect who planned to kill any rebels without hesitation, was disrupted by the sudden mention of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

"The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan?"

Yuexiang sneered, "The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan is a super first-rate force, looking down on everyone. Their bloodline is noble, do you think they’d bother with you? Don’t you know the forces they recruit are all from ancient unique clans? Would they really recruit a tiny Heavenly Sword Society?"

Yuexiang bluntly exposed Ye Mo’s lie. Nonetheless, it showed Ye Mo the overpowering influence of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan in the Lingwu Continent, ultimately revolving around two words: "Bloodline strength!"

"Ye Mo, there’s no more need for words."

Yuwen Hengyi said lightly, "Command the elders and all the disciples behind you to join the Divine Wind Sect. As a Sect Leader, I can grant you the position of an elder in the Southern Spirit Sect."

"Southern Spirit Sect?"

Ye Mo frowned.

"Indeed, once the Divine Wind Sect unifies all forces in the Southern Spirit Region, it will be renamed Southern Spirit Sect, dominating the Southern Spirit and becoming an entity under our Yuwen Clan’s jurisdiction."

Yuwen Hengyi spoke arrogantly, "Joining us is your only way out. Otherwise, complete annihilation awaits."
