Ye Mo’s devastating attack defeated the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter in a single punch, shocking the entire arena. With that single punch, he had proven to everyone that he was stronger than Ye Changsheng and had more potential than him.

Ye Changsheng’s face fell. He completely hadn’t expected Ye Mo to have grown at such a frightening speed in terms of strength. It wouldn’t be enough to have the Spirit of Hellfire—Ye Mo had to be taken out quickly.

As Ye Mo walked out of the arena, countless eyes were on him, some of envy, some of jealousy, and some of surprise. As Yao Yue looked at him, she also revealed the slightest of smiles before she unfolded her wings and disappeared into the sky.

“Brother Ye Mo, there’s someone locked on to you. It seems like an extremely strong aura. Perhaps this is a league chief checking you out. Don’t panic; he won’t notice the secret of your body!”

Indeed, as soon as Ling’er finished speaking, Ye Mo felt an invisible force of energy seeping into his body, nearly invading his vital organs, Energy Center, and even his blood and flesh.

That bout of True Energy was stronger than the hell demon Ye Mo had encountered at the Goddess’ Eternal Spring—this was definitely an ultimate fighter. However, the energy left Ye Mo’s body after finding nothing amiss.

“If not for Ling’er giving me a seal to cover up, my Rising Dragon Pillars secret would have been exposed!”

There was definitely a reason for his strength.

High up in the sky, a woman of extreme beauty let out a sigh of surprise. The lady was extremely beautiful, her age indefinable. Clad with a golden cape, she had an extremely petite body and a pair of slim legs that resembled those of a crane. A red marking between the lady’s brows attracted further attention.

Flapping her pair of giant golden True Energy wings, she soared through the sky, her aura as deep as the ocean and limitless as the stars in the sky.

“There’s nothing strange about that man’s body, so how was he able to display such strength? If not for Changsheng’s insistence on killing him, with a bit of nurturing, his future would be limitless,” said the woman before instantly vanishing into thin air.

“Ye Mo, Elder Feng wants to have you as a disciple. Do you accept?” The host’s voice could be heard above the arena again. An elder with a head of white hair stood up—he had a rather thin frame, his white long hair already reaching his waist.

“Elder Feng’s strength is already in the Spirit Devour Realm. His status in the Qingyun League should be very high. What are you waiting for?” Ling’er immediately said to Ye Mo anxiously.

Ye Mo slowly walked in front of Elder Feng, clasped his hands together, and said, “My name is Ye Mo, paying respects to Master.”

“Hmm, not bad. I didn’t expect to find such a good disciple like you upon my arrival. You shall follow me back. I will carefully evaluate you before deciding how to nurture you,” said Elder Feng as he gingerly walked forward, prepared to take Ye Mo.

“Elder Feng, hold it. Ye Mo cannot follow you back yet!” Suddenly, an old and frail voice was heard as three shadows dropped down from the sky. They were the three elders of the Legal Division—Elder Yun He, Elder Huo Yun, and Elder Dao Lian.

The appearance of the three triggered a commotion. The three elders of the Legal Division looked at Elder Feng with an attitude of admiration. It was evident that Elder Feng’s authority held weight in the Qingyun League. Elder Qiu Shan and the others were intrigued—what were these three old men from the Legal Division doing there?

“Is there a problem?” Elder Feng asked calmly.

“Elder Feng, a few days ago, Ye Mo crippled Outer League member Yun Shan’s Energy Center, violating the league rules. Now that Yun Shan’s injury has recovered, the two of them are to be sent to the Legal Division for sentencing,” explained Elder Yun He.

“Oh?” Elder Feng let out a shocked grunt. Crippling someone’s Energy Center was a serious offense. If a disciple of his had disobeyed the league rules like that, he would have considered abandoning him or her.

“Master, is it possible for you to follow me to the Legal Division? I’ll explain everything that happened,” said Ye Mo.

“Very well. I shall follow you to the Legal Division to see what exactly is going on.” Elder Feng rarely involved himself with league affairs. His appearance at the league test was rare in itself. While heading to the Legal Division, the three Legal Division elders didn’t dare to say much either.

The four elders soon arrived at the Legal Division with Ye Mo. The three elders stood right in the middle, with Elder Feng at the side. Yao Yue was also present, sitting at the side, as well. The enforcer members stood on both sides of the room!

“Ye Mo, Yao Yue has already informed me about what happened. Do you plead guilty?” Elder Yun He immediately started to interrogate Ye Mo about his offense.

“I plead guilty to the offense of crippling another league member’s Energy Center. However, I have something to say,” said Ye Mo.

“You have something to say?” Elder Huo Yun replied.

“As a senior league member, Yun Shan attempted to sabotage me during the league entry examination. While entering the Qingyun League, he made use of his position to give me a mission in the City of Death, and even gave me a fake map. He has tried to sabotage me multiple times. As a man, I’m already showing compassion by not killing him,” said Ye Mo.

“Outrageous!” Elder Yun He smacked the table heavily, shouting, “As a member of the same league, how can you have such a poisonous heart?”

“Elder Yun He, Yun Shan has sabotaged me multiple times. I’m only alive today because of my strength. If not, I would have died due to him and not even known why. What about his heart, then?” said Ye Mo.

“Yun Shan is at fault for sabotaging you. However, so are you for crippling his Energy Center. Both of you are guilty.” Elder Dao Lian, who had kept quiet up to this point, opened his mouth. “According to the Qingyun League rules, both of you are to have your Energy Center crippled as punishment!”

Upon hearing that, Yun Shan put his hands together and said, “Elders, my Energy Center finally managed to recover, and my strength also reached the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm. Is it possible to avoid the punishment?”

“What? Your Energy Center has recovered?”

“Yes, Master Xuan Ji gave me a Nine Turn Seal Spiritual Pill that allowed my Energy Center to heal. I ask the three elders to reconsider.”

What Yun Shan was implying was extremely clear: if even Xuan Ji wanted to protect him, what right did three old men have to cripple him? Furthermore, Master Xuan Ji had shown up to protect him, so the three of them would have to kill Ye Mo for her to be satisfied.

Yun Shan’s words caused Elder Feng and Yao Yue to frown. This Nine Turn Seal Spiritual Pill was basically a death sentence for Ye Mo.

“Yun Shan’s Energy Center has been crippled once, so he will be pardoned from the punishment. However, Ye Mo will have to face the punishment.”

As Elder Yun He spoke, a snap of the fingers sent a sharp True Energy blade towards Ye Mo’s Energy Center. Ye Mo almost didn’t even react, such was the speed of the blade.

“You think you can just cripple my student?” Elder Feng reacted with a swipe of his sleeve, and the True Energy blade instantly ceased to exist.

Elder Yun He frowned upon seeing Elder Feng make a move and said, “Elder Feng, there are lower tier members present here, so I don’t want to be too explicit about things. You should know the meaning behind the Nine Turn Seal Spiritual Pill.”

Elder Feng frowned as he grew hesitant—offending Xuan Ji wasn’t a smart move.

Yao Yue, sitting on the bench, was also extremely anxious. She was trying to confirm something; if this thing was proven to be true, Elder Feng would protect Ye Mo at all costs, even if it meant offending Xuan Ji.

“It’s confirmed!” A piece of information flashed across Yao Yue’s mind. She rushed towards Elder Feng to say a few words. Upon hearing what she had to say, Elder Feng immediately stood up, exclaiming loudly, “Save your words. I will protect Ye Mo at all costs!”
