The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 652

Chapter 652: Evil Woman

“Ye Mo, this woman is vicious,” Hong Ling added. “This is the first time that I’ve seen a woman like this. She was willing to listen to the Young Master, and to allow the First Heaven Society people to lock her up with the Lightning Cage. What a vicious move.”

“Here, the Mountain and River Diagram!”

Grabbing the Mountain and River Diagram, he threw it to Xue Can.

With survival the priority, he had to stay alive in order to find the chance to kill her later.

Grabbing the Mountain and River Diagram, Xue Can took a look before saying, “It is indeed the Mountain and River Diagram. If I give this to the Young Master, he’ll dote on me even more.”

Xue Can slowly walked toward Ye Mo. Sticking out her tongue, she licked Ye Mo’s cheek and said, “Remember my scent. Don’t forget about me, even when you die.”

After that, Xiao Can opened her Snow Silkworm Wings and left the Eastern Water Valley.

“Darn it. The Light of the Glorious Sun can’t remove a poison element like this.”

Ye Mo awakened the Light of the Glorious Sun repeatedly. But he could only reduce the speed of the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse, not remove it completely.

“The Profound Silkworm Poison Curse is one of the four main Poison Curse Powers and is ranked the second strongest,” Ling’er said, frowning. “But that Xue Can has fully awakened the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse. The Light of the Glorious Sun can’t remove it at all. At this point, all you can do is use the Light of the Glorious Sun to reduce the speed of the spread of the Poison Curse, hurry back to your Master and let her think of a plan.”

This was the worst bind that Ye Mo had ever found himself in.

Ye Mo nodded his head, enduing the pain that his body was feeling. Clenching his teeth, he channeled the Light of the Glorious Sun while rushing towards the Desolate Mountain. At the moment, walking was extremely strenuous, let alone flying.

“If only Xiao Jing was here,” Ye Mo couldn’t help but think. But each step he took became heavier as if his legs were weighed down by a thousand kilograms of weight. Finally, his consciousness became blurry before his body dropped to the ground.

Poof!

A thin arm picked him up. Semi-conscious, he looked at the shadow in front of him and smiled painfully before passing out.

Yue Yue!

In the southern region of the Zone of Desolation, in an eerie, dark forest, the forest was filled with heavy fog, giving off a creepy vibe. Roars of monsters echoed around the forest.

No one would’ve expected that forest to be the headquarters of the First Heaven Society.

In the deep end of the forest was a gigantic palace. This palace was a Flying Palace – a top-tier treasure item.

A frail-looking girl slowly walked up the palace, and an elder walked out to meet her.

The girl was Xiao Can. The elder was one of the top ten elders of the First Heaven Society and had strength in the Profound Heaven Realm.

“Xiao Can, why is there only you? Where’s Tai Seng and the others?”

The elder knew that this extremely beautiful and dainty-looking girl before his eyes was the young lady who possessed one of the four main Poison Curse Powers. If she could help the Master with his training, her status would skyrocket.

The moment the Master conquered the whole of the Zone of Desolation and established complete rule over the Door of Desolation, the lady before his eyes could very well become the future Lady Master.

When that day came, she would become an unparalleled existence.

“Elder Xuan Ming, they were all killed by a Saint en route to the Door of Desolation.” Xue Can’s eyes glanced around before eventually landing on Elder Xuan Ming’s body as she replied.

“What? Killed by a Saint?” Elder Xuan Ming said worriedly. “Your route was top secret. How were you found out? Are you alright?”

If anything had happened to Xue Can, the Master would be infuriated. The life and death of Xue Can concerned the strength of the Master – no mistakes allowed.

“No. I hit the Saint with my poison curse,” Xiao Can said calmly. “I even managed to take the Mountain and River Diagram from him, and I’m just about to hand it over to the Master.”

“Mountain and River Diagram?” Elder Xuan Ming was caught by surprise as he said, “Don’t tell me, the person who came after you was Ye Mo? How is that possible? Ye Mo couldn’t defeat Tai Seng. How did he do it? But, since you struck him with your Profound Silkworm Poison Curse, he’s going to die for sure. You’ve done the First Heaven Society a huge favor. Furthermore, you got the Mountain and River Diagram from him, too. When the Young Master returns, he’ll definitely reward you handsomely.”

Besides appearance and strength, the Young Master valued talent as well.

The First Heaven Society had suffered great losses trying to deal with Ye Mo – even the four main generals had returned in defeat.

Now that Xue Can was able to kill off Ye Mo, a huge obstacle was removed from the First Heaven Society’s path.

“Elder Xuan Ming, how long more before the Master returns?” Xue Can asked, curious.

“Soon. He’ll be back by nightfall,” Elder Xuan Ming said as he led Xiao Can into the palace. He said, “Xiao Can, if you are to end up in the Master’s good books, please look out for me as well.”

Elder Xuan Ming made his stance clear.

“Elder Xuan Ming, if you’re willing to guide me, you’ll become the top elder of the First Heaven Society.”

Extremely sharp, Xue Can understood Elder Xuan Ming’s intentions.

Elder Xuan Ming becoming the top elder would make his status skyrocket.

“Hehe, but you’ve got some competition,” Elder Xuan Ming said. “The Fire Fox Poison Curse and Sky Spider Poison Curse Bodies are all in the First Heaven Society. However, the two of them have no significant background, and their looks are average as well. But the Sky Phoenix Poison Curse Body will be a huge threat to you.”

“Elder, who exactly is that?” Xue Can frowned.

“She’s the woman that the Young Master brought back to the First Heaven Society himself. She’s called Xiao Yue. In terms of her looks, she is not worse off compared to you. The Master is also very fond of her, bringing her around in the Inner Peak of the Desolate Mountain. They’re almost inseparable,” Elder Xuan Ming said, with a hint of solemnity on his face. “Therefore, before the Master returns, we should think of a way to defeat Xiao Yue. Otherwise, when the Master fuses with the four of you, she’ll very likely become the Lady Master.”

“I see.” Xue Can nodded, before saying weakly, “Elder Xuan Ming, I was born an orphan. Are you willing to adopt me as your goddaughter? I’ll regard you as my godfather.”

Without waiting for Elder Xuan Ming’s response, Xue Can got down on her knees.

“Xiao Can, please, get up quickly. It would be my honor to be your godfather.” Elder Xuan Ming, with a swift swoop of his sleeve, picked her up gently.

“Godfather, my future shall all depend on you.” Her eyes sparkled as she spoke softly.

“I’ll raise your strength level to the Ninth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, then send you to the Desolate Mountain,” Elder Xiao Ming said gently. “When you’re there, do your best to get the powerful figures there to side with you and take any opportunity to deal with Xiao Yue.”

“Thank you, godfather. As long as you can get me to the Desolate Mountain, I’ll definitely be able to find a way to deal with the Sky Phoenix Poison Curse.”

Xue Can’s heart was filled with excitement.

The two sly foxes, one young and one old, reached an agreement to their own benefit.
