"Mother, are you saying that reaching the top of the Rising Dragon Path and obtaining the Dragon Ball will be considered as passing the Dragon Mark Palace's test?"
Ye Mo asked curiously, looking at the Rising Dragon Path in the distance.
"Yes, there's still 30 minutes left. It shouldn't be a problem for you," Zi Ning said.
"That's right.
Ye Mo nodded and walked over. Just as he was about to speak to the examination elder on the platform, he felt a huge aura descend upon him.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
One after another, elderly figures descended from the sky and landed on the high platform. A total of a hundred figures appeared on the high platform, and the one leading them was the ancestor of the Primordial Azure Dragon Clan.
Although all the elders had concealed their auras, they were all Hierarch Realm experts. Moreover, there were a hundred Hierarch Realm experts. Just by standing there, they gave off a strong oppressive feeling. Although the elders had concealed their auras, all of them were Hierarch Realm experts.
All the clansmen looked at the platform. These elders had lived for thousands of years and were the strongest fighters of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. It was unexpected that they would all appear here at the same time.
They had never seen such a scene since they were born.
Previously, the Patriarch had come out alone to announce Zi Aotian's appointment as the next clan leader.
This time, the elders had appeared together with the Patriarch. What were they going to announce?
Zi Aotian was shocked. All the elders had appeared. What were they going to do?
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
All the clansmen knelt on the ground again.
"All clansmen, rise."
The Progenitor waved his hand and continued, "Today, I've brought the group of elders here to make an announcement. If Zi Aotian is able to get into the top three in the Lingwu Genius Battle, he will be appointed as the next Patriarch."
Hearing this, Ye Mo and Zi Ning's expressions changed. Ye Mo wanted to rush up but was stopped by Zi Ning.
"Mo 'er, don't be rash. Listen to what the Patriarch has to say first."
Zi Ning said.
"I thought Ye Mo had died in the Hell Abyss, but he's returned safe and sound, and even used 10 days to advance from the Third Cycle of the Cosmos to the Fifth Cycle of the Cosmos. So, in order to make up for my mistake, I've come out with the elders to welcome Ye Mo and make an announcement."
The Patriarch said calmly.
Boom!
The old ancestor's words were like a clap of thunder, heavily bombarding everyone's heart. Enter the abyss of hell? He came back safe and sound. In ten days, he went from Universe Three Revolutions to Universe Five Revolutions.
Every single thing that happened was enough to make everyone feel incredulous. Astonished expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Even Zi Aotian was looking at Ye Mo with a gloomy expression. Although Ye Mo was still an ant-like existence in front of him, Ye Mo's brilliance had already begun to overshadow Zi Aotian's brilliance. This was definitely not something he could tolerate.
Furthermore, the Old Ancestor still had something to announce. Could it be that he was going to take back what he had just done? Wasn't this an indirect slap to his face? Whether or not he could become the clan leader was all because of Ye Mo?
Without Ye Mo, he would have the chance to become the clan leader, but with Ye Mo, he wouldn't have the chance to become the clan leader.
"I won't take back what I've announced before. To make it up to Ye Mo, I'll betroth my most beloved granddaughter, Zi Xuan, to Ye Mo."
As soon as the Old Ancestor finished speaking, all the clansmen on the spectator stand started discussing again.
"The Old Ancestor actually wants to betroth Zi Xuan to Ye Mo? Zi Xuan is a third generation clansman, someone of the same level as the Old Ancestor. She has awakened at least seven Dragon Marks in her bloodline."
"Tsk tsk, Zi Xuan is the Old Ancestor's beloved daughter. I can't believe he's willing to betroth her to an outsider."
"It's said that Zi Xuan has a good impression of Zi Aotian. However, Zi Aotian is lukewarm towards Zi Xuan."
"That's right. Zi Aotian has his eyes on the Mu Clan's daughter, Mu Wanqing. He doesn't care about any other women."
"But the Old Ancestor is announcing the marriage in front of so many people. Zi Aotian won't be able to keep his face."
Hearing what the Old Ancestor said, Zi Aotian's expression did not look good.
"Grandfather, I don't agree!"
Zi Xuan jumped out of nowhere and said angrily, "Why should I marry that arrogant guy? I don't agree."
"Zi Xuan, be it bloodline talent or cultivation talent, Ye Mo is very suitable for you. This matter is decided."
The Old Ancestor's attitude was very firm in front of Ye Mo and Zi Ning.
"Ye Mo, what do you think?"
The Old Ancestor asked.
After hearing so much, Ye Mo finally understood the general situation. However, he had to fight for the Clan Leader's position for his mother.
"I don't agree!"
Ye Mo said calmly.
"What? You don't agree? How dare you not agree? "
Zi Xuan's expression changed. She pointed at Ye Mo and said, "I am betrothed to you. You have no right to disagree. I am the only one who doesn't agree."
Ye Mo ignored Zi Xuan and said calmly, "Old Ancestor, I understand what you mean. You don't have to betroth Zi Xuan to me to make up for your previous mistake. In terms of strength and experience, my mother is the best candidate for the Clan Leader. If Zi Aotian wants to be the Clan Leader, he should wait for the next one."
"What did you say?"
Zi Aotian said coldly.
"Nothing. I think the Clan Leader's position should be fought fairly. I hope the Old Ancestor will consider it."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"How dare you."
Elder Zi Xing stood up and said coldly, "Ye Mo, what kind of attitude is this? How dare you ask the Old Ancestor to consider it? The Old Ancestor betrothed Zi Xuan to you, which is enough to show how much he values you. The Old Ancestor's words are like spilled water – they cannot be taken back."
The Old Ancestor signaled Zi Xing to stop talking and said to Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, I will also give you an Immortal Weapon as a dowry. Once you and Zi Xuan are married, you will be a third-generation member of the Elder Group. Elder Zi Ning will also be a third-generation member, and her position will not be lower than the Clan Leader's."
The Old Ancestor's reward was definitely something no one had expected. He even used an Immortal Weapon to tempt Ye Mo, giving Ye Mo enough face. Everyone was extremely envious.
Zi Aotian was about to explode, but he was held back by Zi Long, who was beside him.
"Aotian, look at the bigger picture. It's fine to lose some face now. As long as you can get into the top three, the Clan Leader's position will be yours. You will have absolute authority in the clan. You can use the Clan Leader's name to propose marriage to the Mu Clan.
The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan placed great importance on the power of their bloodline and rarely married outsiders. However, the Mu Clan was different. They were an ancient clan with an ancient bloodline. Furthermore, their talent in training was extremely terrifying.
At that moment, no one was looking at the Path of the Rising Dragon's examination. Instead, their gazes were on Ye Mo, waiting to see if Ye Mo would compromise.
Ye Mo, who had a slightly angry expression on his face, suddenly smiled. "Since the Old Ancestor values me so much and has betrothed such a beautiful granddaughter to me, I naturally won't go against it. Thank you, Old Ancestor."
After saying that, Ye Mo cupped his hands together. He knew that if he still didn't know how to take a step back at a time like this, he would be an idiot.
"Phew!"
All the elders breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Ye Mo, the bloodline genius, wouldn't agree. If that happened, the situation would definitely become very tense.
"However, the Dragon Mark Palace's examination is not over yet. If I were to ascend the Path of the Rising Dragon and retrieve the Dragon Pearl, I should be able to enter the Dragon Mark Palace, right?"
Ye Mo grinned, sending chills down some people's spines.
