The incident where Tiandi Alliance’s Prodigy Elite Member Yun Feng had challenged Ye Mo to a battle shocked all the League Members of Qingyun Alliance, but what came next shocked everyone further.

Ye Mo had accepted Yun Feng’s challenge, and he had expressed that the battle will be held the next day at Qingyun Martial Arts Arena.

Although Qingyun Alliance’s League Members weren’t sure why Yun Feng wanted to challenge Ye Mo, who had just entered the Inner League, no one was optimistic about this battle.

An Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior and a League Member that just entered the Inner League — the gap between the two was just too large.

On top of the towering pavilion were four beautiful and big characters.

Xuan Ji Sub-League!

Right here was the Xuan Ji Sub-League’s headquarters, League Chief Xuan Ji’s territory.

But League Chief Xuan Ji wasn’t at the pavilion. Just a few days earlier, she had followed the League Leader to Imperial Heaven’s Wall City with the other two League Chiefs.

Within their Chamber of Affairs, there was a gold throne that sat on a three-feet tall base by the front of the chamber, and right behind the golden throne was a golden phoenix screen.

The throne was Xuan Ji’s seat, so naturally, no one would dare to sit on it.

Beneath Xuan Ji’s throne were seats on both sides and seated there were Ye Changsheng and Yan Zhi.

Soon after, a man in white slowly walked in, expressionless.

“Li Tianhe, how did Senior Xue Xiu die? Didn’t he leave with you to Qingyun Alliance to request for Wen Canghai’s help to forge a spirit weapon?” Ye Changsheng stood up and asked with doubt.

Being called over by Ye Changsheng, Li Tianhe naturally knew that it was going to be about Xue Xiu, so he had already prepared his words beforehand.

Squeezing out some tears, he cried and said, “Junior Changsheng, I’ve let Brother Xue Xiu down!”

“What exactly happened?” asked Ye Changsheng coldly as he frowned.

“That day, Xue Xiu and I went to Tianhe City to request Wen Canghai’s assistance in forging a spirit weapon, but Wen Canghai had already left Tianhe City the day before with all his people and had returned to Sword Whisper City. Because of that, Xue Xiu and I had planned to visit Sword Whisper City, but on our way there, we ran into members of the Yin Poison Society. The Yin Poison Society is filled with all sorts of evil people that commit heinous crimes. Every one of their members is hated and their heads sought after by everyone, and it was also with them that Xue Xiu had gotten into a battle. Originally, we were able to kill all of them with ease, but their poison techniques were just too strange and bizarre. Then, unfortunately, Xue Xiu was affected by their lethal poison. Then soon after we had wiped them out, because of the lethal poison, Xue Xiu lost his life,” said Li Tianhe as he wiped the tears on his face.

“That’s enough. You don’t have to say anymore. You can go back now!” said Ye Changsheng.

Seeing that Ye Changsheng was no longer suspicious, Li Tianhe heaved a sigh of relief. Ye Changsheng’s current status was almost equal to that of the Vice League Chief. Even some True Energy Realm Elders of Qingyun Alliance have to act in accordance with his will. As long as he got through to Ye Changsheng, no one else would be suspicious of Xue Xiu’s death.

After watching Li Tianhe leave, Yan Zhi opened her mouth and said, “I’ve investigated this matter. Wen Canghai’s Divine Sword Society had indeed retreated back to Sword Whisper Manor, so it looks like Li Tianhe wasn’t lying. The Yin Poison Society’s lethal poison is indeed powerful, and it’s a pity that Xue Xiu lost his life.”

“Yan Zhi, I keep having the feeling that something’s not right.”

“I have the same feeling too. Let me send someone to Sword Whisper Manor to conduct an investigation.”

“Yan Zhi, I have a hunch that both Xue Xiu and Song Yang’s death were the work of Ye Mo. I also had a dream last night and in that dream, I dreamt that Ye Mo had killed both Xue Xiu and Song Yang with just one spear.”

“How is that possible? No matter how strong Ye Mo is, he couldn’t have won against Xue Xiu.”

Yan Zhi held Ye Changsheng’s hand. Then, she smiled and said: “Changsheng, don’t bother yourself with all this now. Master Xuan Ji has said that something big might happen in Tianwu Kingdom, so you are to quickly assimilate the Hellfire Pearl and increase your power. How’s the assimilation going so far?”

“I’m already halfway through the assimilation process and I’m an Energy Shaping Fifth Realm warrior now. If I’m able to complete the assimilation, I will definitely reach the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm. Then, together with the Spirit of Hellfire, even an Energy Shaping Eighth Realm warrior will not be a match for me,” said Ye Changsheng.

“Keep up with your training then. Don’t let Ye Mo outshine you. Not only is he not dead yet, but recently, he’s been the talk of Qingyun Alliance. Somehow, he had offended Yun Feng from the Wushuang Alliance. They’re holding a battle at Qingyun Martial Arts Arena tomorrow,” said Yan Zhi.

“Hmph. Ye Mo’s lucky to have escaped this time, but he’s definitely going to lose the coming battle and be worse than a dog. When that time comes, I’ll go and observe the battle to see how much Ye Mo has grown by now.”

Suddenly, a golden light flashed, but both Ye Changsheng and Yan Zhi didn’t react to it.

Then, a beautiful woman sat on the throne. She had a slender figure and was dressed in a casual yet revealing matter, just enough to cover up her ample bosom while her golden skirt revealed a pair of long, enticing legs. Her slender curves bedazzled the eyes of others. The woman’s eyes were cold, but the mark on her forehead could easily enchant those that lay their eyes on it.

“Changsheng, Yan Zhi, what are the two of you discussing?” A cold voice sounded out, which shocked both Ye Changsheng and Yan Zhi, then they got up in an instant and knelt down before the woman.

“Master Xuan Ji!” The two respectfully said.

“I’ve just returned from the Imperial Heaven’s Wall City, and because we lack sufficient evidence, Song Yang’s death has been ruled an accident by the Emperor. As compensation for Qingyun Alliance’s losses, the Emperor will personally attend the League War that’s being held at Qingyun Alliance this time, and he’ll also take out the Cosmos Qi as one of the rewards,” said Xuan Ji.

The League War is a competition where the top League Members of the three alliances are pitted against one another. In the past, only some imperial ministers came to observe the competition, but this time, even the Great King will be attending.

This competition is Tianwu Kingdom’s most heavy-weight competition, and the reason for that is because only the Chief Elects are qualified to participate in this competition!

“Master Xuan Ji, even the Emperor will be observing the competition this time?”

Having heard her, Ye Changsheng had a shocked expression on his face, and Yan Zhi, too, was also pretty shocked.

The Emperor, ruler of Tianwu Kingdom, and also the rumored super powerful fighter who has reached the Transcendence Realm — just the chance of being able to meet him was enough to excite some of the Prodigy League Members.

“Yes. Ye Changsheng, how’s your assimilation of the Spirit of Hellfire? I’ve decided to let you participate in this League War, and if you perform well enough by defeating the other two Chief Elects, you might even get the Emperor’s attention and train under him, but first, you have to become Xuan Ji Sub-League’s Chief Elect,” said Xuan Ji.

Listening to Xuan Ji’s words, Ye Changsheng got excited and said, “Master Xuan Ji, I’m almost done with the assimilation. It won’t take long before I can fully assimilate the Hellfire Pearl.”

“That’s good then. If there’s nothing else, the two of you can go back.”

“Yes!” After he replied, Ye Changsheng turned and left the Chamber of Affairs.

“Haha, Ye Mo, it won’t take long before I’ll shine in front of the Emperor, and you, you’ll be defeated at the hands of Yun Feng from the Tiandi Alliance. The distance between us will only get larger and larger, and when that time comes, you can only look up at me!”
