“You people from the Spirit Sky Residence are insignificant bugs,” Ye Mo shouted. “I release all of you but you still don’t know what’s good for you. Since that’s the case, I won’t bother showing you all any respect. I know your family is very influential and powerful, but, in truth, I’m not from the Zone of Seals and will leave this place soon anyway. Oh well, I’ll just kill all of you here.”

Ye Mo’s killing intent soared to the sky and he decided to throw caution to the wind and kill to his heart’s content.

Rumble!

He punched out with the Zhu Immortal Divine Fist he had created himself. At the same time, the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation was unleashed and he wrapped the will around his body. A terrifying fist blasted out, and, instantly, three Transcendence Realm servants from the estate were blasted backward, forced into repeated retreat.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Taking the opportunity, Ye Mo didn’t pause between attacks. Each attack took the life of another servant.

“Ah, don’t kill me!”

“Ah! Ah! I just became a servant of the Spirit Sky Residence and I’m going to die? No, I still haven’t gotten a chance to enjoy my life!”

The servants wailed miserably an,d in the span of several breaths, all the servants were killed. Apart from Ding Hao, not a single one of them was left alive.

Ding Hao watched on as it happened. His servants included someone in the Transcendence Third Realm. That was an expert that had experienced three Transcendence Tribulations, metal, wood, and water, yet he was killed before he could even unleash his Transcendence Golden Body.

“No, don’t kill me,” Ding Hao begged, terrified. He had never seen a warrior this ruthless before. “I’ll kowtow to you. I can give you anything you want. Beauties, pills, seals, anything I have, I can give it to you!”

“You were very smug a moment ago,” Ye Mo said. “Where’s your spine now?”

He grabbed forth with his hand. He captured Ding Hao. Like throwing away trash, Ye Mo tossed Ding Hao away and said, “Consider this a lesson to you. I’ve killed so many of your servants. Do you have any issues with that?”

“Nope! Not at all!” Ding Hao shook his head repeatedly with a miserable expression. He didn’t dare to say anything as he quickly crawled back to his feet before fleeing, cutting a sorry figure as he retreated.

Ding Hao was the second young master of the Spirit Sky Residence. Although he was a wastrel young master, killing him would still cause a lot of trouble.

In any case, killing his subordinates would be considered a lesson as well. It would show Ding Hao how ruthless Ye Mo could be.

“Sir, rather than sparing him, you might as well kill him,” a graceful and melodic voice said from behind Ye Mo. “Now that he knows your actual strength, he’ll come looking for trouble again.”

Ye Mo wasn’t surprised. He had noticed the woman hiding around.

“You’ve had your fill of watching the show and are finally ready to show yourself?” Ye Mo asked coldly. “After tailing me for so long, it’s time for you to tell me what you’re after, right? Otherwise, things won’t end well for you either.”

“I originally thought that you had a mysterious and unfathomable master behind you, but what a surprise that your cultivation is so powerful,” Xia Shiyun said with a smile on her face. “I have to acknowledge that I’m not your match. Even with seals, I still might not be your match. But, by releasing Ding Hao, you’re inviting trouble. I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the Spirit Seal City.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Mo was confused. “The master behind me?”

“The Transcendence Pills you used aren’t random pills you have found in a cave,” Xia Shiyun said with a faint smile. “They’re all newly refined. I’m the young fort master of the Bamboo Forest Fort. I need your help with something. If you can help me with it, the Bamboo Forest Fort will guarantee that you’ll be able to leave the Spirit Seal City safely.”

She was planning to rescue Ye Mo but, surprising her greatly, Ye Mo was incredibly. He had exceeded her expectations.

Hearing what she said, Ye Mo realized that he might have provoked a troublesome individual.

“I am Ye Mo,” he said. “What can I help you with, miss? Truth be told, my cultivation is low, I won’t be of any help.”

Ye Mo shrugged helplessly.

“My name is Xia Shiyun,” she said. “Mr. Ye Mo, please come with me to the Bamboo Forest Fort. There, I’ll be able to give you a detailed explanation.”

Xia Shiyun flashed a bewitching smile before making an inviting gesture to Ye Mo. Ye Mo did not bother dilly-dallying around and he followed her.

The Bamboo Forest Fort was located at the south end of the Spirit Seal City. They were a local tyrant and were comparable even to the likes of the Spirit Sky Residence.

Following Xia Shiyun, Ye Mo traveled through a lush bamboo forest before arriving at the Bamboo Forest Fort.

Ye Mo waited silently in the main hall with a few maids waiting on him.

Soon after, Xia Shiyun appeared again. She was now dressed in a white outfit and behind her was an old man. The old man was Master Fu Qian, the auctioneer from the auction.

“If you’re trying to get more Transcendence Pills from me, I’ll be honest and tell you that the 5,000 pills you saw are all I have,” Ye Mo said. “You have all of them already.”

“Mr. Ye Mo, we originally wanted to recruit you, but, after seeing you fight, we changed our mind,” Xia Shiyun said. “Three days from now, there’ll be a sealing artist competition in the Spirit Seal City South District. But only those with a bone age of 20 years old and below are allowed to participate.”

Xia Shiyun paused and continued, “I’m the only one in the Bamboo Forest Fort that meets the requirements to participate in this competition. But every force is allowed to send two participants. I want to invite you to participate on behalf of our Bamboo Forest Fort as well.”

“Sealing artist?” Ye Mo asked.

He was somewhat troubled. Ever since Ling’er’s death, he hadn’t been practicing his sealing skills. Even refining a third-order ninth tier seal was difficult for him. This competition will most likely require the participants to refine some fourth-order seals. If they wanted him to participate in a fighting competition, he was confident. But if they wanted him to participate in a seal refining competition, that would just end in him being humiliated.

Ye Mo would never do something he was not confident in.

“I think you got it wrong,” he said. “I’m not a sealing artist.”

“Hehe, Mr. Ye Mo, I think you misunderstand me,” Xia Shiyun said. “The sealing artist competition I speak of isn’t a competition where people compete in their sealing skills. Rather, it’s a competition where people battle each other using seals. Although the people of Zone of Seals are proficient in fighting with seals, there’s still a small number of people that cultivate martial techniques. So long as we provide you with a few fourth-order seals, coupled with your cultivation, it won’t be a problem for you to place first. Based on the rules of the competition, the winner will be allowed to enter the Heavenly Seal Tower and cultivate for one day.”

“Heavenly Seal Tower?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment. “What’s that?”

“The Heavenly Seal Tower is the holiest tower in the Zone of Seals,” Xia Shiyun explained. “Only the most talented youths of the Zone of Seals can cultivate inside. Each heavenly seal inside the tower is a copied version, but they still contain immensely deep wills within. One can also temper one’s mind in there, and, whether you’re a sealing artist or a warrior, cultivating inside will bring great benefits. Once, there was a warrior who had just reached Transcendence Fourth Realm. After spending only one day cultivating within the Heavenly Seal Tower, he attracted the fifth Transcendence Tribulation and entered the Transcendence Fifth Realm.”

The so-called heavenly seal was a seal refined by the heavenly master, also known as the heavenly grade seal, second only to the god grade seal.

“Comprehending the heavenly seals?” Ye Mo muttered to himself before a burning gaze surfaced in his eyes. He was currently stuck at a bottleneck and was in a region suitable for his breakthrough. Perhaps comprehending the so-called heavenly seals would help push him to the next realm.

“Mr. Ye Mo, if you can help us, the Xia Clan, to become the winner, you’ll be allowed to come with me into the Heavenly Seal Tower, too,” Xia Shiyun said with a faint smile. “What do you think about my offer?”
