“What did you say?” Ye Mo asked. He started to explain himself, “Yue Yue, you misunderstand. I have no relationship whatsoever with Mu Qing. Our entire marriage was one big lie, to allow me to obtain the Luosha Tattoo to will qualify me to join the Door of Desolation.”

Xiao Yue stepped back from Ye Mo and slowly walked to the cliff. After taking a deep breath, she spoke, “I spent more than a year cultivating at the Tiandu Palace. My master loved me greatly, but not long ago, the Holy Poison Palace collided with the First Heaven Society, and they destroyed our Sky Bane Palace. Young society head rescued me. He promised to help me reach the Transcendence Realm as soon as possible, so I could take my revenge.”

“I understand. But did you ever consider my feelings?” Ye Mo smiled gently, finally finding out why Xiao Yue had been ignoring him all this while.

“Everyone reaches a point where they have to do something they don’t want to. do,” she said. “Ye Mo, I like you a lot. That much is true. But I think we should bury this feeling deep in our hearts. Can we do that?”

“Bury it in our hearts?” Ye Mo asked loudly. “How can I do that? Whenever I encounter difficulties in my cultivation, I think about you. You are my motivation. Now that I finally got to see you again, how can I bury my feelings? I know I’m nothing compared to that young society head, right now, but I hope you can give me an answer.”

Xiao Yue slowly walked over to him. She gazed at Ye Mo, and under Ye Mo’s astonished gaze, she planted her tender lips on his. After a long time, the lips parted as she spoke, “Is this answer fine?”

Immersed in the passionate kiss, Ye Mo was stunned for a long time. His face was frozen.

“Give me some time, alright?” Xiao Yue said, “How could I like that young society head? But he is my savior, and I promised him that I’ll help him destroy the First Heaven Society. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself. The only reason I’ve ignored you all this time is to protect you.”

Ye Mo rubbed his lips before speaking, “But how have you became the young madam?”

Ye Mo was still worried. Right now he was merely an ordinary disciple of Door of Desolation. He couldn’t contend against the young society head.

But he still wasn’t comfortable allowing his woman to stay with a different man.

“To tell you the truth, for the sake of cultivating, the young society head has lost his ability in that department,” Xiao Yue said bashfully, head lowered. “That’s his greatest disgrace in life. And to make up for his deficiency, he’s had a lot of women.” She lifted her head and looked straight at Ye Mo with her big pretty eyes, “And because of that, he cares a lot about his face.”

After hearing Xiao Yue’s words, Ye Mo calmed down.

So the young society head was impotent because of his cultivation? So it was fine for Xiao Yue to stay beside him. At most, she would be working for him.

“When will we be able to see each other again, then?” Ye Mo asked. “And when can we be together out in the open?”

“Ye Mo, it’s better if we put our focus on cultivating,” she said. “I’ll sneak out to meet you whenever I have the chance. But you have to cultivate hard. Only after you become a true expert can we be together out in the open.” She turned to leave.

“We’re going to meet again?” Ye Mo blurted out. “Does that mean that there’s a chance for us to be together?”

Xiao Yue stopped and turned around. Her gaze rested on Ye Mo and she smiled. “I guess so? But let’s make a promise. If you’re already in the Transcendence Realm the next time we see each other, I will allow you to kiss me once.”

Then, Xiao Yue turned and left. In the blink of an eye, she vanished from Ye Mo’s sight, leaving him standing there, alone.

“Allow me to kiss her once?”

And, just like that, the reunion between Ye Mo and Xiao Yue concluded.

Ye Mo was relieved. The only task left for him was to end this trial with the best result he could get.

Ye Mo didn’t stop to rest or anything. He left the valley and headed in direction of the Hell Dao Palace group.

Ye Mo moved at a high speed and, before long, he arrived at the Fire Bamboo Forest, where the Hell Dao disciples had set up their base of operations. But the only thing Ye Mo saw when he arrived was corpses everywhere, and Gu Yuan, heavily injured.

“Brother Gu Yuan, what happened to you?” Ye Mo landed on the ground and asked in astonishment.

“Du Long and a group from the Human Dao Palace arrived and captured Nangong Yurou,” Gu Yuan said. “He wants you to go to the Flame Demon Valley.”

Ye Mo was stunned. The fury within him rose.

Du Long was definitely one of the First Heaven Society’s spies in the Door of Desolation. He killed Jing Wuqing and had escaped from Ye Mo’s hands. This time, with Nangong Yurou captured, he wouldn’t escape.

“I’ll go slaughter him,” Ye Mo declared furiously. He leaped back into the air as fast as lightning. He traveled to the location shown on the map, and about an hour later, Ye Mo arrived at the Flame Demon Valley.

By the time he arrived, the sky was already dark.

The Flame Demon Valley was wrapped in an intense heat, with massive peaks that pierced the clouds.

Ye Mo leaped onto a peak and scanned his surroundings. He could see more people from Human Dao Palace guarding the foot of the mountain.

“Who is it?”

Ye Mo didn’t bother to hide. The disciples of Human Dao Palace noticed him immediately.

“I am Ye Mo of the Asura Palace,” he said expressionlessly. “Hand over Nangong Yurou.”

“So you’re Ye Mo?” one of them, a disciple at Energy Burst Realm, said. “You dared to kill Jing Wuqing, a genius disciple of the Human Dao Palace? Everyone, let’s kill him.”

The disciples on guard duty were all at the Energy Burst Realm. Not a one was Ye Mo’s match. Since Ye Mo had no intention to make an enemy of the entirety of the Human Dao Palace, he rushed over and, with a couple of punches, knocked all five of them unconscious.

Then, Ye Mo captured a random Spirit Devour Realm disciple and said, “Where is Nangong Yurou? Also, hand over all the Desolate Ancient Pearls you have.”

When the person saw how powerful Ye Mo was, he didn’t dare to resist.

“Nangong Yurou is deep in the valley,” he said.

Ye Mo frowned and asked, “How many people are in there? How strong are they? And where’s Du Long?”

“Big Brother Du Long has just left,” the disciple said. “This is only one of our gathering points. There are 10 people deeper inside, four of them are late-stage Spirit Devour Realm disciples.”

As he spoke, he took out three Desolate Ancient Pearls and gave them to Ye Mo. After Ye Mo took them, he punched the disciple, knocking him unconscious.

Without stopping, Ye Mo strode forward, leaped and unfurled his energy wings midair. He headed straight to the center of the valley.

At the cliff of the valley, there was a massive, ancient tree that seemed to be perpetually burning. Ye Mo landed on the top of the tree. From there, he could see five people not far away from him, guarding the entrance of a cave.

They weren’t too strong.

There were four other people, seated to the side, cross-legged in cultivation. They were the four late-stage Spirit Devour Realm disciples.

Ye Mo’s killing intent rose. He aimed at one of the late-stage Spirit Devour Realm experts and flashed straight at him.

Pu chi!

Just like that, a late-stage Spirit Devour Realm disciple collapsed before Ye Mo. The other disciples noticed Ye Mo’s arrival.

“You dare kill a disciple of the Human Dao Palace?”

The three late stage Spirit Devour Realm disciples reacted immediately. They pulled out their Spirit Weapons and started attacking Ye Mo.

“All of you need to die,” Ye Mo yelled and his body flickered as he stabbed forward with his spear. The moment those Spirit Weapons clashed with the Sky Blood Spear, they were destroyed. With a couple swings of his spear, all three of the late stage Spirit Devour Realm experts had their limbs cut off.

Ye Mo swung his spear one last time, flinging the corpses to the five people guarding the entrance.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

They wailed miserably.

No hesitation, Ye Mo charged straight into the cave.

The cave was lit by a bonfire. Nangong Yurou was inside, both hands tied. Her clothes and hair were in disarray.

Beside him, a Human Dao Palace disciple was staring at Nangong Yurou with sinisterly. Even after hearing the sounds of fighting outside, he didn’t stop what he was doing. Slowly, his hands reached out toward Nangong Yurou, trying to explore her body.
