The atmosphere around the Martial Training Hall turned icy. Even some of the members who were submitting their missions looked at Ye Mo, stunned.

Ye Mo was a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm. How was it possible that he had collected so many purple-eyed spirit essences?

“Ye Mo, you cheated. There is no way you killed so many purple-eyed armored spirits and even more impossible that you could have so many essences,” Yun Shan said, the first to come to his senses.

“That’s right — you must have cheated,” Zhang Mo added.

“Indeed, it is not possible that I can kill so many purple-eyed armored spirits, but my mission only required me to collect the essences. I was fortunate to pick up this many. Is that not allowed?” Ye Mo laughed coldly.

Skylight City was filled with danger. The whole area filled with armored spirits. Picking up spirit essences? Who was he trying to fool?

Everyone was in a cold sweat except for Ling Xue, who stood beside him, smiling, looking at Ye Mo in an almost adoring manner.

Yun Shan said mockingly, “The mission clearly stated that one is required to kill the armored spirit and then collect the essence for it to count. Kill — do you not know what kill means? You’re right, based on your strength, there is no way that you killed all these armored spirits. Your spirit essences are not valid.”

As Yun Shan spoke, a sinister smile appeared on the faces of Xu Fu and Zhang Mo. The mission requirements indeed stated that one had to kill an armored spirit before collecting its essence. Based on Ye Mo’s strength, it was impossible for him to kill the spirits. All his effort spent on collecting the essences were in vain.

“More than 120 purple-eyed spirit essences – not even Brother Xu Fu could have achieved that. Don’t tell me you think that your level of training is already above Brother Xu Fu? I believe that Brother Xu Fu would be more than happy to spar with you.” Yun Shan went right up to Ye Mo and smiled gleefully.

Ye Mo became completely solemn. At the present, he indeed could not guarantee that he would defeat Xu Fu. However, the anger in his heart was rising steadily.

These spirit essences were to be used in exchange for the Water of Life to save Yan Shihan’s face. It was a pressing matter that could not be afforded to be delayed, but Yun Shan had been constantly picking on him, making it unbearable.

“Die!” Ye Mo aggressively made his move, sending a punch towards Yun Shan’s abdomen. Yun Shan looked stunned initially but did not attempt to hide, letting out a cold laugh instead.

Bam!

Yun Shan was sent flying towards the wall by Ye Mo, but there was no pain on his face. Instead, he let out a forced smile.

“Haha, Ye Mo, you are doomed. The punishment for fighting a league member in the Qingyun League is exile.”

Hearing that, the faces of Li Suifeng and the other three changed immediately. According to the rules of the Qingyun League, league members who fight other members while in the league would be exiled. Furthermore, they were at the Martial Training Hall.

“Yun Shan, you have repeatedly tried to sabotage me, and now you’re taking advantage of your status and position to make life difficult me in the Martial Training Hall. Even if this means I will be exiled from the league, I am going to cripple you first.”

With a sudden scream, Ye Mo took a few steps forward and reached Yun Shan. He had a streak of ruthlessness to him, as if he was an evil Grim Reaper.

“Ye Mo, do not do anything rash. This is the Martial Training Hall. The moment you cripple Yun Shan, you will be challenging the authority of the Qingyun League. Wasn’t the point of all our training to enter the Qingyun League?” Li Suifeng tried to warn Ye Mo profusely. Having interacted with Ye Mo for so long, he had witnessed his killer instinct before. Ye Mo might actually go for the kill.

“Indeed, Ye Mo. Do not be rash. It’s merely a few spirit essences, isn’t it? Based on your strength, surely you wouldn’t have to worry about having no league points,” said Ling Xue.

Xu Fu stood aside, watching the dramatic scene unfold. Regardless of whether Ye Mo made a move or not, he had already violated the league rules.

Furthermore, he had never seen anyone who dared to cripple a fellow league member in the Qingyun League since he’d joined.

However, what happened next would be etched in the minds of everyone present.

Ye Mo landed a punch hard onto Yun Shan’s stomach, punching a hole through his abdomen. A pained scream echoed around the whole Martial Training Hall.

Yun Shan clutched his abdomen in pain, his face showing a mixture of fear and disbelief.

His fear came from his damaged Energy Center. Unless he had a high grade pill, he could forget about training for the rest of his life. His disbelief came from the fact that Ye Mo had really attacked him.

“You actually dared to cripple my Energy Center!” Yun Shan let out a roar, his face stricken with pain. He said, “Ye Mo, you are doomed. You ruined my Energy Center. Now, your life’s going to be hell.”

“Still filled with so much nonsense even after your Energy Center is crippled? I will end your life now. I want you to know the price to pay for offending me.”

Ye Mo was completely furious. With another punch sent towards Yun Shan, Li Suifeng and the other three stepped in to intervene, blocking Ye Mo.

If Ye Mo were to kill Yun Shan, the consequences were not going to be as straightforward as being exiled from the Qingyun League.

“Who is so daring to start a fight in the Martial Training Hall?”

Suddenly, a loud voice exploded from outside the hall. A middle-aged man walked into the Martial Training Hall. He was bald and clad in a sleeveless shirt. His body appeared puffed up, as if filled with a limitless amount of power.

“Energy Shaping Fifth Realm!”

The bald man before their eyes had strength equivalent to the Long Armed Ape Monkey King. Ye Mo needed his Sky Blood Spear back and to reach his Dragon Blood state in order to have a chance of defeating someone like him.

Yun Shan saw the bald man and his face immediately changed, as if he was being revived. He shouted, “Mentor Mo, Ye Mo publicly attacked me in the Martial Training Hall and crippled my Energy Center. Hurry, apprehend him and send him to the Legal Division.”

“Did something like that really happen?” Mentor Mo pretended to sound suspicious.

Xu Fu raised his hand at Mentor Mo and said, “Mentor Mo, all the league members present here can be our witnesses. Ye Mo had no regard for the rules of the Qingyun League, destroying Yun Shan’s Energy Center.”

Xu Fu also stepped forward and recounted to the the bald Mentor Mo what had happened, exaggerating the details and portraying Ye Mo as a maniac.

After hearing the what a few league members had to say about what happened, Mentor Mo glared at Ye Mo angrily, saying, “I cannot believe that a new member like you would be this wild. Do you not know that league rules prohibit you from attacking anyone for personal reasons? Not only that, you crippled the Energy Center of Brother Yun Shan, a member in charge of managing missions for the league members – you’re basically asking for death!”

Seeing the furious Mentor Mo, Li Suifeng and company immediately stood up and explained, “Mentor Mo, things did not go according to how they described. There was a reason why Ye Mo initiated the attack against Yun Shan.”

“Reason? Whatever reason it is, it cannot justify landing such a heavy-handed attack on a fellow brother and crippling his Energy Center. It appears that sending you to the Legal Division will not be necessary. I shall capture and execute him on behalf of the authority of the Qingyun League.”

Immediate execution without even being sent to the Legal Division. Ye Mo had to suspect that Mentor Mo had already conspired with them beforehand, or perhaps this whole thing was a sinister plan for him to cross the line even further.

If he died, Li Suifeng and company would be pressured by authority to remain silent and keep their heads down. With Mentor Mo and company saying their own version of what really happened, the elder in charge of the Legal Division would not say anything either.

This was basically an attempt to sentence him to death.

“Mentor Mo, if there is someone who tried tactic after tactic, scheme after scheme to sabotage you, repeatedly putting you in life-threatening situations, what would you do?” Ling Xue gathered her courage and stepped forward to try to reason with the older man.

“Little girl, are you trying to question me?” Mentor Mo let out an authoritative roar akin to the howling of thunder, his voice filled with a strong force.

A fighter in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm had their vital internal organs and force strengthened. Simply a roar from Mentor Mo sent Ling Xue stumbling backwards, with Li Suifeng and Tong Qian also shaken and taking a few steps back.

However, Ye Mo was unmoved. Facing the oncoming strong winds, he laughed coldly. “Mentor Mo, am I right? Tell me, what benefits did you receive from Ye Changsheng?”
