The slap was so sudden that the Qianfang Clan Leader didn't even have time to react before he fell to the ground.
The Qianfang Clan Leader's face darkened as he rubbed his swollen cheek. He was the Clan Leader of a clan after all. Today, he had been publicly slapped in the face in front of so many clans. This was not something he could tolerate.
"Pavilion Leader Nangong, what is the meaning of this? Are you going to side with that young man? "
"Nothing much," Nangong Xiao said coldly. "Ye Mo is my niece's son-in-law. The woman you're auctioning is Ye Mo's friend. You kidnapped Ye Mo's friend and auctioned her off.
Tell me, what is the meaning of this? "
"What? That kid is your niece's son-in-law? He's Castellan Nangong's son-in-law? "
The Qianfang Clan Leader was completely shocked. Although the Qianfang Clan was a big clan, they weren't on the same level as the Nangong Clan.
Some of the people around were secretly shocked as well. No wonder Ye Mo dared to be so bold and cause trouble at the Treasure Trade Gathering. It turned out that this was their territory.
"Let Ye Mo's friend go, and the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion won't charge you any fees."
Nangong Xiao didn't want to go too far.
"Thank you, Pavilion Leader Nangong."
The Qianfang Clan Leader cupped his hands at Nangong Xiao. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he waved his arm and left the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion with his clansmen.
"Everyone, something has happened at the Treasure Trade Gathering," Nangong Xiao said. "I hope everyone can forgive us. The Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion still has a lot of rare treasures. There will be Black Crystal Stones for sale later. Clans that have already made reservations can go ahead and purchase them."
Nangong Xiao led Ye Mo and the others out of the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion.
After retreating to the inner hall, Ye Mo said to Nangong Xiao apologetically, "I'm sorry for the trouble."
"As long as you treat Yurou well, this is nothing," Nangong Xiao said. "But you have to be careful in the future. Although the Nangong Clan is powerful, we can't protect you forever."
His meaning was clear – he wanted Ye Mo to be more careful in the future.
"Yes."
Ye Mo nodded. Normally, Ye Mo wouldn't be so reckless. But the Nangong Clan Leader had kidnapped the most important person to him and publicly auctioned her off. He couldn't tolerate it.
"Alright, I still have things to do. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Nangong Xiao left.
As soon as Nangong Xiao left, Ye Mo spoke to Nangong Yurou and prepared to leave with Luosha's Daughter. The little girl immediately became angry. Fortunately, Ye Mo gave the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade to Nangong Yurou. Only then was she able to leave happily.
Ye Mo hurriedly left the Sky Treasure Pavilion with Luosha's Daughter.
"How is the Tianwu Kingdom doing now?"
Ye Mo asked anxiously.
Unhurriedly, Luosha's Daughter told Ye Mo everything she knew.
Ever since the league war, when Ye Mo killed Cao Zhengchun's son, Cao Zheng, and fled the Tianwu Kingdom, the Tianwu Kingdom had undergone huge changes.
Because the Tianwu Emperor, Li Tianqiong, was in closed-door seclusion, the Tianwu Kingdom belonged to Cao Zhengchun alone.
Because of Cao Zheng's death, Cao Zhengchun was furious. He arrested and locked up everyone related to Ye Mo.
And because the Qingyun League was sealed off by the kingdom, they lost their patience. It wasn't until League Chief Xuan Ji refined the Star Map and broke through to the Transcendence Realm that the Tianwu Kingdom erupted in the largest war since the founding of the kingdom.
In that war, there were many casualties. The Three Major Leagues united against a common enemy, but they were still no match for the combined forces of Cao Zhengchun and Empress Cao.
Although Xuan Ji had broken through to the Transcendence Realm, her methods were no match for Cao Zhengchun's. Empress Cao had many treasures of the Emperor. Even the Bejeweled Weapon, the Thunderbolt Demon-Breaking Halberd, was given to Cao Zhengchun. With the Bejeweled Weapon, Cao Zhengchun's strength was able to suppress Xuan Ji.
The relationship between the two sides was like fire and water.
The more Cao Zhengchun fought, the angrier he got. Because he couldn't catch Ye Mo, he pushed all the blame onto Chen Yihan. He was the one who let Ye Mo go.
With Empress Cao in control, she started to exploit Chen Yihan's military power. Once again, the Tianwu Kingdom fell into chaos.
The Martial Faction surfaced, and Chen Yihan's identity as the Martial Faction's leader was exposed.
The Martial Faction allied with the Three Major Leagues and declared war on the Emperor Faction.
As for the Luosha King, Xuan Qiu, because she had released Yao Yue, a felon of the Luosha Prison, she was eventually found out. All the prisoners in the Luosha Prison were released, and she was captured by Cao Zhengchun. Half a month later, at the Heaven's Wall City Square, she was publicly beheaded.
However, everyone knew that this beheading was obviously done by Cao Zhengchun for the Martial Faction and the three major alliances to see. After all, Xuan Qiu was Xuan Ji's younger sister. If she was beheaded in public, the people of the Martial Faction would definitely come to her rescue. At that time, Cao Zhengchun would be able to capture all of them in one fell swoop.
"She's going to be beheaded in half a month?"
Ye Mo frowned. With his current strength, he could reach the Tianwu Kingdom in 10 days. But no matter how strong he was, against Cao Zhengchun, who was in the Transcendence Realm, he could only run.
"What should I do?"
Xuan Qiu was also his aunt. She had been caught by Cao Zhengchun because she had released him and Yao Yue. He couldn't let Xuan Qiu be killed by Cao Zhengchun.
Now that he had awakened 200,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power, even if he met an expert half a step into the Transcendence Realm, Ye Mo would be able to hold his own for a while. If he could awaken another 50,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power, even an expert half a step into the Transcendence Realm wouldn't be a match for him.
"If I can enter the Immemorial Realm again and absorb some Immemorial Energy, I might be able to awaken more Caged Dragon Power."
Ye Mo fell into deep thought.
"No!"
Hong Ling's voice rang out.
"No?"
Ye Mo said, surprised.
"Last time, you already absorbed enough Immemorial Energy," Hong Ling said. "Even if you absorb more Immemorial Energy, it won't have much of an effect."
"Forget it.
This is the fastest way I can think of to increase my strength. "
Ye Mo arranged for the Rakshasa's Lady to stay at the Nangong Estate. He gave the Shadowdemon Sky Severing Blade to Nangong Yurou and told her that he might have to leave the Door of Desolation for a while.
Just as Ye Mo was about to fly to the Door of Desolation, he saw a large group of people gathered at the foot of the Desolate Mountain. They didn't look like disciples of the Door of Desolation, but rather disciples of various big clans.
"Master, we are from the Beiming Clan," one of the middle-aged men said. "This is the sheath I made for the Divine Ancestor.
I hope you can bring it to the Divine Ancestor. "One of the middle-aged men presented a sheath to a master from the Inner Peak. He didn't forget to give the master a stack of bills.
"Master, this is the sheath the Qianfang Clan made for the Divine Ancestor."
"This is the sheath the Four Seasons Clan made for the Divine Ancestor."
One by one, the clans presented their own sheaths to the masters.
"Hmph, the sheaths of these clans are all weirdly shaped. None of them are correct. The Blood Devil Saber is one meter long, but none of the sheaths are three meters long."
Ye Mo glanced at them, then flew toward the Main Peak of the Desolate Mountain and landed on one of the peaks.
Soon after, an old man strangely appeared in a pavilion.
Ye Mo looked at the old man curiously. As far as he could remember, there was no pavilion in this place.
Ye Mo looked up and down and felt that the space around him was starting to distort, making it impossible for Ye Mo to see the appearance of the old man in the distance. But Ye Mo could tell that the old man in the pavilion was a woman.
However, Ye Mo had a vague feeling that the old man's majestic aura gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Young man, come here!"
The old man waved at Ye Mo in the extremely distorted space.
