The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 579
Chapter 579: Asking For It
In the end, Ye Mo won the bid for the spirit seed with 5,000 Jiping Kaiguang Transcendence Pills. Ye Mo’s heart was filled with excitement – the spirit seed was his after all.
“Ye Mo, that young man is from the Spirit Sky Residence,” Nan gong Wushang said. “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for us to take the spirit seed from him.
“I know,” Ye Mo said. “That guy is the typical tycoon-like disciple. I can escape from the Seal City, and they won’t be able to catch me. But you still have goods to stock up on. Let’s move separately.”
The opposition didn’t know of Nangaong Wushang’s existence – if they moved together, both of them would end up targeted by the Spirit Sky Residence.
“But…” Nangong Wushang said worriedly.
“Uncle Nangong, don’t worry,” Ye Mo said. “Don’t you know my strength level yet?”
As Nangong Wushang nodded his head, he left through the transportation formation without hesitation.
“Little brother, I would like to ask you a question,” Master Fu Qian walked up to Ye Mo.
“What’s the problem?”
“Do you have any more of these Transcendence Pills?” Master Fu Qian asked. “I would like to purchase them from you for a high price.”
“I found those 5000 Transcendence Pills in a cave where an elite fighter resided,” Ye Mo said calmly. “Those 5000 are all I have.”
“What a shame.” Master Fu Qian shook his head before saying, “Little brother, you may now follow me backstage to complete our transaction for the spirit seed.”
Ye Mo nodded his head and followed the elder backstage.
After he was gone, Elder Fu Qian’s face remained shocked as ideas formed inside his heart.
“What’s the matter, Master Fu Qian?” A beautiful woman walked out from backstage. “Is that man someone special?”
Clad in a white dress with skin as silky white as snow, an authoritative smile brandished across her cherry-like rosy cheeks – a sight of beauty.
“Shiyun, I don’t think he’s a citizen of the Zone of Seals,” Master Qian Fu said calmly.
“So what?” Xia Shiyun replied with a similar tone. “There are way too many people from other zones who come here to purchase seals.”
“Shiyun, I just asked him if he had any more of these pills,” Master Fu Qian said.
“He said that he found them in a cave where a strong fighter lived. But, upon closer inspection, these pills were created quite recently.”
“What you are saying?” Xia Shiyun asked suspiciously. “Was he the one who cultivated these pills?”
People of the Zone of Seals practiced their craft in seals, then in pills, then finally in martial arts. Thus, they knew a substantial amount about pills, too.
“No, based on his age, there’s no way that he can cultivate something like this,” Master Fu Qian asked. “Perhaps there’s a master behind him who made these pills. But he came to the Zone of Seals alone – I’m guessing that his highly-skilled master isn’t here.”
“A fighter in the Profound World Realm would be able to cultivate a pill like these, but not of such high quality,” Xia Shiyun said, shocked. “Plus, this pill is imbued with the Light of the Glorious Sun. His master must be someone extremely powerful.”
One’s spiritual power had to pass the test before one could cultivate normal Transcendence Pills, let alone ones of this high a quality.
“Haha, Shiyun, there’s no harm in trying to establish some connections with a man like him.” Master Fu Qian smiled gently. His eyes sparkled. “He offended the Spirit Sky Residence’s Ding Hao. With his personality, there’s no way that he’ll let the kid off. How about this, you go and lend him a hand, and he’ll be indebted to us?”
“Wise words, master!” Xia Shiyun smiled before leaving the backstage area and following Ye Mo.
Leaving the Seal Treasure Pavilion, Ye Mo could detect a few auras locked onto him – without a doubt, they were elite fighters sent by the Second Young Master of the Spirit Sky Residence.
Ye Mo let out a sneer before quickening his pace as he moved towards the city entrance. As he made a few turns and ended up at a wider, empty road, a few shadows appeared before him.
They had their arms around their chests and looked extremely cocky.
“Kid, you made me lose face in front of so many people today,” a cold voice said. A young man clad in white emerged from behind the crowd. “Did you really think that I’d just let you off like that? I’ll have you know the consequences of offending me, Ding Hao. Now, be good. Hand over the spirit seed and kowtow 10 times, and I’ll let you off. Otherwise, things are going to end badly for you.”
This white-robed man was no doubt the Second Young Master of the Spirit Sky Residence – a powerful family in the Southern region of the Seal City who had the power to do whatever they wanted in the region.
Having lost face during the auction, based on his personality, how was Ding Hao ever going to let Ye Mo off?
“Your name is Ding Hao, isn’t it?” Ye Mo replied coldly. “The Second Young Master of the Sky Spirit Residence? These goons you’ve brought are all pretty weak. Word of advice for you – leave quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
The help that his opposition brought were decent in terms of strength, but most of them were in the Second Tier of the Transcendence Realm. With even Ding Hao only in the Second Tier as well, the strongest goon was only in the Third Tier.
Simply put, if they were really going to fight it out, Ye Mo was capable of squeezing the life out of them one hand tied behind his back. But Ye Mo didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble. It would be best if the opposition knew when to retreat.
“What did you say?” Ding Hao asked incredulously. “Weak? They’re more than enough to deal with a kid like you in the Spirit Devour Realm. Hurry up and hand over the spirit seed. I still have to revive my beauty and have a good time. If you waste my time, I’ll kill you myself.”
Before he could even finish speaking, his cheeks started to redden as he realized that he couldn’t even get a word out. His throat was already in a chokehold, Ye Mo’s hand around it, lifting his whole body up, leaving his legs kicking the air frantically.
What frightened Ding Hao even more was that he couldn’t even unleash his Transcendence Golden Body. What kind of a man was he? A kid in the advanced stage of the Spirit Devour Realm – how was he so powerful?
“You.”
Ding Hao didn’t expect Ye Mo to be so powerful, exhibiting such a brazen display of strength. In his eyes, Ye Mo was nothing more than a kid in the Spirit Devour Realm. No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeves, or how many seals he possessed, he shouldn’t be able to fight him as an equal. Furthermore, Ding Hao still had so many guards around him.
He completely understood now – the kid before him was already realms above his Spirit Devour Realm level of training.
It was only after Ye Mo choked him did the dozens of men from the Spirit Sky Residence around him start to react.
“What are you doing? The nerve of you.”
“Quickly, let go of the Young Master before you make a grave mistake. You have to know that, right now, you still have a sliver of a chance to survive. But if you kill him, there’ll be no place in the Zone of Seals where you can hide.”
This turn of events shocked everyone. Plenty of them were unable to even react at first.
“Quick, notify my brother,” Ding Hao could barely choke the words out. “This guy is strong.”
The men around him understood his instructions. But, as they turned around and prepared to leave, rows of Seal Walls appeared, sealing off their exit.
“Don’t insult the Will of the Immortal Zhu!” Ye Mo’s body trembled as the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation appeared, reaching out hundreds of meters and surrounding everyone.
The men were trapped in a cage, unable to escape.
At this point, Ye Mo’s strength allowed him to easily kill a normal fighter in the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm. He even had a chance against fighters in the Fourth Realm. Once he advanced to the Transcendence Realm, Fifth or even Sixth Tier fighters wouldn’t be a problem for him.
His abilities were destined to be something special. When his Heart Minion completely cultivated into a physical form, the only thing left to do would be the merger process.
