The sky gradually brightened, but the light couldn't penetrate the Skywolf Mountain Range, causing the mountain range to be filled with a gloomy aura.
The two of them opened their eyes at the same time and stood up.
"Alright, we can return to the Ancient Martial City now!"
Now that Sima Liang had obtained half of the map, he most likely wouldn't chase after them anymore. The two of them returned the way they came. Passing by the battlefield from the day before, they saw two corpses – Elder Mo and Elder Zhao. In the deep pit, there was an extra arm.
Judging from the style of the sleeve, it was Sima Liang's arm.
"What's going on? With Sima Liang's strength, it's impossible for his arm to be chopped off, "Hu Fei said in astonishment.
Seeing this, Ye Mo guessed that the experts of the Qi Clan must have made a move. Seeing that Sima Liang had obtained half of the map and that he had taken out the other half, they would definitely make a move.
But Ye Mo didn't go into details. Instead, he said, "Elder Hu, look around. The destruction is too terrifying. It's completely incomparable to before. I think Sima Liang encountered another expert and had his arm chopped off."
"That's the only explanation. With an arm chopped off, even if Sima Liang isn't dead, his strength will be greatly reduced!"
The two of them returned to the Ancient Martial City. After saying goodbye, Ye Mo rushed to the Treasure Inspection Guild.
Entering the rear hall of the Treasure Inspection Guild, the first thing Ye Mo did was to find Elder Ying.
"Haha, congratulations on our hero's return," Elder Ying said with a smile on his face.
Everything was done very naturally. Ye Mo escaped with the map fragment. Since he was no match for Sima Liang, he abandoned the map fragment. As for Sima Liang, who had just killed two True Energy Realm fighters, he was naturally excited. He took out the other half of the map fragment and pieced it together to see if it was real.
If the other half of the map had been won by Sima Liang, he would have been very careful and hid in a dark room to study it.
"What exactly happened?" Ye Mo asked.
"After that Sima Liang killed the two True Energy Realm experts and took back the map fragment, he took out the other half of the map fragment and pieced it together to form a complete map. After that, he laughed crazily. After that, our Qi Family's Heaven Star Border expert cut off his arm with a single move. Sima Liang didn't even think about it before throwing away his arm and running away." Old Ying said.
"So that's what happened!"
Ye Mo was secretly alarmed. He asked casually, "Where's the map?"
"We will naturally give you the map, but it will be a little troublesome."
As Senior Ying spoke, his face faintly revealed a solemn expression.
"What happened?"
"It's like this. When we seized the map, we actually attracted the attention of another great clan. Thus, it will be slightly troublesome for us to successfully bring it back to Heaven's Wall City," Senior Ying said.
"Someone dares to rob your Qi family?"
Ye Mo asked in surprise.
The Qi Clan was a relative of the Emperor, and the young lady of the Qi Clan was the second Imperial Concubine since the founding of the Empire. Who would dare to oppose the Qi Clan?
"Haha, even though our Qi Family is the number one family, we are still doing business after all. Our foundation of martial artists is still very weak. The ones who are going against the Qi Family are the people from the Cao Family." Senior Ying said.
The Cao Family could be said to be the confidante of the Emperor. The head of the family was the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace, always following behind the Emperor. As for his sister, Cao Xueyin, she was also the empress. Her power was rather impressive as well.
Ye Mo had heard of the Cao Family before. They were one of the few great clans in Heaven's Wall City. Their clan members were not even sent to the Qingyun League to train. Instead, they were sent to the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace to train. Their talent was also extraordinary.
"Are they going to use force?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes. To prevent such a situation from happening, we secretly commissioned a mission. Originally, we planned to invite all the Qingyun League members. In the end, only one league member accepted the mission. I went to a few other sects and invited a few Energy Shaping Realm experts to escort our Qi Clan's goods," Senior Ying said.
"That league member should be me!"
Ye Mo said with a bitter smile.
"It's you? I almost forgot that you are also a member of the Qingyun Alliance. However, this mission is extremely dangerous. According to the news from the Qi Clan, the experts sent by the Cao Family are the same as our Qi Clan. Therefore, I plan to split our forces into two groups. We True Energy Realm experts will take one group and our merchant group will take the other. You guys only need to protect Xiao Cao, "Senior Ying said.
Hearing that, Ye Mo raised his brows. Senior Ying was definitely hiding something. Perhaps the map was hidden on Xiao Cao's body.
"No problem. As long as no True Energy Realm experts appear, even if we are no match for them, I will be able to escape with Xiao Cao."
"Alright. As long as we can successfully bring the map back to Heaven's Wall City, we will definitely let you have a look at the map. Xiao Cao is currently instructing the servants to prepare the carriages. I will bring you to the warehouse now. Those Energy Shaping Realm experts are already waiting there."
"Alright!"
Following Senior Ying, Ye Mo arrived at a huge building. There were two warriors standing guard at the entrance of the building. The interior of the building was extremely spacious. Inside, there were a dozen or so large boxes, most likely boxes containing goods.
There were also more than 10 people inside. Both men and women were sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating.
There were so many goods that even a Dimensional Bracelet wouldn't be able to store them all. The space of a Dimensional Bracelet was extremely small. It would already be good enough to store a few Magic Weapons, some pills, and a cauldron.
Furthermore, the size of these boxes was extremely huge. One Dimensional Bracelet wouldn't be able to store a single box.
"This is our Treasure Inspection Guild's small warehouse. I've used it to set up the meeting point for you guys. The experts that we've recruited this time all have unique skills. Because of your special relationship with Xiaocao, I've decided to give you the position of captain of the escort team. Xiaocao's safety will be in your hands."
Ye Mo nodded his head and swept his gaze across the surroundings. These people were all relatively strong. The stronger ones were in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm, while the weaker ones were in the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm.
The moment Ye Mo and Senior Ying entered, many people opened their eyes simultaneously and glanced at them. When they looked at Ye Mo, disdainful expressions could be seen on their faces.
As for the majority of the people, they turned to look at Senior Ying.
"Senior Ying, is everyone not here yet? This time, we are escorting the Qi Clan's goods and ensuring Miss Xiao Cao's safety. When do we depart? "
One of them, a tall man in grey leather armor, stood up and said.
"We will depart immediately. The caravan is almost ready!"
As Senior Ying spoke, he pointed at Ye Mo with his right hand and said, "You guys are the experts I have handpicked from the various sects. Your goal is to escort the Qi Clan's goods to the Heaven's Wall City. Due to the long journey, it is inevitable that we will encounter some bandits. The safety of the goods will depend on you guys. This person here will be the captain of our escort team."
Senior Ying started introducing Ye Mo. "His name is Ye Mo, a Qingyun League member. His talent is extremely terrifying. During this escort mission, all of you will have to listen to his orders. Once you successfully reach the Heaven's Wall City, the Qi Clan will host a banquet for all of you. There will also be generous rewards for all of you."
"What? An Energy Shaping Fifth Realm fighter is our captain? "
