After studying the Bodhi Seed, Ye Mo was no longer interested. After absorbing the Giant Dragon Power for a few days, the Bodhi Seed had only grown a little. Ye Mo threw it into his Dimensional Bracelet.
Ye Mo took out Huang Shihu's Dimensional Bracelet and easily removed the seal on it. Then, he started to inspect the contents inside.
There were tens of thousands of Hunyuan Pills, and there was a list of names inside.
Ye Mo took out the name list, looked at it, and frowned.
This name list was a list of people who were likely to be members of the Martial Faction. The first name on it was recorded that Feng Qingyang and Yun Tianxie were definitely members of the Martial Faction.
Below them were some people that Ye Mo didn't recognize. Yao Qingyun was among them.
But other than Feng Qingyang and Yun Tianxie, no one else was sure.
"The people on the list are all people that the emperor factions suspect. Are they going to eliminate them one by one?"
Ye Mo memorized the name list one by one before destroying it. He definitely couldn't let anyone see the name list.
"There's another scroll here."
He also found a scroll in the Dimensional Bracelet. It was a golden scroll with a phoenix head carved on it.
"Is this an imperial edict?"
Ye Mo took the scroll out and was shocked.
The imperial edict could only be used by the Great Emperor. Seeing the imperial edict was equivalent to seeing the Great Emperor himself.
"This is not an imperial edict. It should be the Queen's decree. Only the Queen can use the Phoenix Sky Carving Flower."
Ling 'er, on the other hand, saw through it with a single glance. The first was the dragon, and the second was the phoenix.
However, the Great Emperor rarely used the Imperial Decree. If he was really angry, he could directly use the Great Emperor's Divine Decree. Even a True Energy Realm expert would not dare to resist in front of the Great Emperor's Divine Decree.
Ye Mo opened the scroll. On it was written: Her Majesty's decree: Remembering that League Chief Xuan Ji is loyal to her master and that she is a strong fighter of the kingdom, the Empress wishes to recruit League Chief Xuan Ji and bestow upon her the position of the kingdom's first female marshal. She is to support the Emperor and build the kingdom's empire.
These few words shocked Ye Mo. This queen actually wanted to recruit League Chief Xuan Ji, and judging from the tone of the decree, there was a hint of pleading.
"I didn't expect League Chief Xuan Ji to be so powerful that even the Queen wants to recruit her."
Ye Mo was shocked. He had heard from Yao Qingyun that League Chief Xuan Ji had always been a neutral party and had never served the kingdom. Instead, she stayed in the Qingyun League to train and nurture talents.
"I'm afraid that Xuan Ji's strength is even stronger than Yao Qingyun's. To be able to recruit Xuan Ji, the Emperor Faction's strength must be much stronger," said Ling 'er.
"This Empress Decree shouldn't have been handed to Xuan Ji's Union Chief yet. However, Huang Shihu's death will be discovered sooner or later. There will definitely be another Empress Decree. I'll go to Xuan Ji Sub-League to take a look."
Whoosh!
Ye Mo unfurled his Giant Dragon Wings and left his training grounds, heading straight for the Xuan Ji sub-league.
The moment he entered the Xuan Ji Sub-League, he saw that all the league members were gathered inside, discussing something. Among the crowd, Ye Mo also saw a few people from the kingdom.
The two of them stood there with arrogant looks on their faces, as if they were waiting for something.
Soon after, the door to the meeting room was pushed open. A middle-aged man holding a scroll in his hand coldly snorted and walked out of the meeting room.
"Let's go!"
With a hint of anger in his tone, he waved his long sleeves, and the two people standing beside him left as well.
"That Xuan Ji really doesn't know what's good for her. The Empress is lowering herself to recruit her, yet she doesn't even bat an eyelid."
As he passed by Ye Mo, the person carrying the Empress Decree said in a low voice.
"Who cares? This time, Huang Shihu was killed by the Martial Faction. The Empress lost the Empress's Decree and the Martial Faction's name list. The Empress was furious and arrested all the people in Fengyue House to interrogate them. It is said that the murderer is an important member of the Martial Faction and is also from the Qingyun Alliance. Now, the Empress has already issued an order to arrest the murderer. This time, the Empress took out the Great Emperor's Sacred Decree and Lord Cao Zhengchun personally came.
Hearing that, Ye Mo's expression changed. If it had been a normal general, he wouldn't have cared if he died.
Huang Shihu had the Martial Faction's name list in his Dimensional Bracelet, as well as the Empress' decree to recruit Xuan Ji. Now that they had been lost, how could the Empress not be furious?
"It's over."
Ye Mo's heart clenched as a bad premonition rose in his heart. Without any hesitation, he shot towards the Elite League.
Whoosh!
A black shadow shot past. Following that, Ye Mo's pupils shrank. Before his eyes was a large group of imperial guards. Focusing his gaze, he saw that Yao Yue was tied up by an Energy Trapping Rope. Two female imperial guards were holding her down, and the one leading them was Cao Zhengchun.
Ye Mo charged forward and blocked the way of the imperial guards.
Cao Zhengchun was shocked as well. When he saw that it was Ye Mo, he sneered and said, "So it is Ye Mo. I have quite a deep impression of you."
"Why do you want to capture Senior Sister Yao Yue?" Ye Mo asked.
"She assassinated the kingdom's general, Huang Shihu. The Empress has issued an imperial decree to capture her and throw her into the Luosha Prison. In a month's time, she will be beheaded in the Heaven's Wall City to show the might of the kingdom and tell the Martial Faction that this is the fate of going against the kingdom."
Cao Zhengchun sneered and ignored Ye Mo as he left with the imperial guards.
Yao Yue looked at Ye Mo without saying anything. However, her gaze was enough to tell Ye Mo not to act rashly.
Looking at the imperial guards leaving, Ye Mo clenched his fists tightly before rushing towards the League Chief Pavilion.
At that moment, Yao Qingyun was the only one inside the League Chief Pavilion. He had a worried expression on his face as he sighed repeatedly.
"League Chief, what exactly happened?"
Ye Mo asked anxiously.
"Sigh."
When Yao Qingyun saw Ye Mo walking over, he sighed and said, "That Huang Shihu was actually one of the Empress's people. His death angered the Empress. She ordered everyone from the Windmoon House to be captured and interrogated."
"In the end, she gave up on Senior Sister Yao Yue?" Ye Mo stammered.
"Yes."
"But I was the one who killed Huang Shihu," Ye Mo said.
"With the Empress's methods, if she wanted to investigate, she would definitely be able to find out that you were the one who killed Huang Shihu. However, that girl Yao Yue directly admitted to the matter, saying that she was the one who assassinated Huang Shihu."
Hearing this, Ye Mo felt as if his mind was about to explode.
The people from the General's Residence were still alive. They would definitely be able to find out that he was the one who killed Huang Shihu. However, Senior Sister Yao Yue had taken the blame for him.
"Can't you protect your daughter like how you protect me? You weren't even afraid of three Spirit Devour Realm warriors that day. Why did you allow the imperial guards to take your daughter away this time? "
Ye Mo's expression was ferocious as he roared loudly.
"This time, the Empress used the Emperor's Divine Decree. The Emperor gave the Empress and the Imperial Concubine three chances to use the Emperor's Divine Decree. With her using the Emperor's Divine Decree, do you think I would dare to resist?"
At this point, Yao Qingyun couldn't help but start sobbing. "I'm just a useless father. For the sake of the Martial Faction, I had no choice but to let them take the girl away. If I was free and unrestrained, even with the Emperor's Divine Decree, I wouldn't have let them take her away."
The Emperor's Divine Decree wasn't a problem for Spirit Devour Realm warriors. However, it represented the might of the Emperor. Who would dare to disobey it?
