“He lost!”

Yun Baitian and Xu Fu were in utter confusion watching at what had just happened. Yun Shan was an Energy Shaping Third Realm, but he’d lost to Ye Mo, a Spiritual Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter in a couple of moves. This seemed miraculous.

Yun Shan landed on the ground in pain and struggling. Half-kneeling, he could not believe that he had lost to Ye Mo.

“How did you become so strong all of a sudden?”

“Yun Shan, you really thought you could defeat me with your Energy Shaping Third Realm power level? If it wasn’t for Sister Yao Yue’s intervention that day, I would have defeated you. Also, do not think that I am unaware of you intentionally spilling the blood of the Long Armed Ape Monkey on me. You have tried to harm me multiple times. Today, I won’t kill you, but I shall render your Energy Center useless.”

As Ye Mo spoke, a sharp blade was formed with a stroke of his fingers as he charged towards Yun Shan.

“You’re crazy!” Xu Fu let out a shout and sent out a beam of strong energy wave from his hands, with the beam charging towards Ye Mo’s body like a beast. The energy beam was packed with force, like a violent ocean wave crashing down, causing Ye Mo to take multiple steps back to regain his balance.

In the Energy Shaping Realm, every three realms mark a tier to the next level; the Fourth Realm was much stronger than the Third.

This wave of energy of indeed strong, and coupled with the fact that he had already sustained injuries from the Skylight Lord just now, there was little Ye Mo could do about it.

“Hmph, how dare you try to attack Yun Shan right in front of me? Yun Shan is my guy. If you do this right in front of my face, what status do I have left in the Qingyun League?”

Xu Fu took one step and blocked Yun Shan from the front. He calmly said, “Abolishing a brother of the league so nonchalantly–you do not deserve to train in the Qingyun League. On behalf of the league, I shall end you.”

“Brother Xu Fu, the Elder of the Winds is here.”

Just as Xu Fu was about to attack, Yun Baitian’s voice was heard.

“Xu Fu, how is the progress of accounting for the wounded league members?”

“Elder of the Winds, it has been done. How is Sister Yao Yue doing?” Xu Fu asked, no longer paid any attention to Ye Mo.

“She’s severely hurt, but she will live. The Skylight Lord, however, is dead, with his spirit essence taken away as well. According to you all, Yao Yue was rescued by a person disguised as an armored spirit. Perhaps he was the one who killed the Skylight Lord as well. Thankfully, the situation is not too bad since Yao Yue is fine. The whole Qingyun League would have been in chaos had anything happened to her.”

The Elder of the Winds felt chills just thinking about it. The consequences of having anything happen to Yao Yue was unthinkable.

The conflict between Ye Mo and Xu Fu was temporarily set aside due to the Elder of the Winds’ arrival.

This mission may have been scary, but Ye Mo reaped a lot of rewards from it.

Back in his cave home in the Qingyun League, Ye Mo started to count his bounty. He had more than a hundred purple-eyed armored spirit’s essence that could be exchanged for more than 10,000 league points, which would be enough for him to be promoted to an Inner League member.

The reason why some Inner League members were in there despite their power levels not hitting Energy Shaping Fourth Realm yet was due to the fact that they did a lot of missions.

Ye Mo may have seemed to have collected over 100 soul essences with minimal fuss, but if it was anyone else, it would have taken an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter to produce similar results.

An Energy Shaping Fourth Realm fighter would have been included in the Inner League way earlier.

Ye Mo took out the golden spirit essence from his Dimensional Bracelet. Looking at its golden glow, his eyes gleamed. With one big gulp, he swallowed the essence into his body.

As the essence entered his stomach, Ling’er leapt upwards excitedly in the Energy Center. With a wave of her lotus root-like arms, the golden spirit essence flew towards her.

“This golden spirit essence can help me recover some of my spiritual powers, allowing me to recover some of my strength and also my memory of seal techniques.”

Ling’er opened her small mouth, and a small air current rolled up the golden essence, creating a spiral before entering her mouth. Ling’er shut her eyes, her body giving off a gentle golden glow.

Ye Mo looked inside his Energy Center to check on Ling’er’s situation.

Ling’er floated in mid-air, the flowery dress made up seals slowly disappearing, revealing a perfect body, like one of a ceramic doll. Ling’er’s body was now one of a seven or eight-year-old girl.

What happened next made Ye Mo cough out blood. Ling’er’s body became longer, her arms and legs which had some baby fat initially becoming thinner as well. She looked like she aged another four or five years, her doll-like face becoming more delicate and beautiful, like a goddess.

While still slightly delicate, Ling’er was now no longer a small girl—she became a young lady. Ling’er said before that her body could grow, but he did not think it was real until now.

“Brother Ye Mo, I can feel your blood boiling. I see—it is because I’ve grown into a young lady, and your heart is tempted.”

Ling’er opened her eyes, her slim fingers dancing in the air as seals appeared from thin air. With a twist of her body, she was wearing a dress made up of the seals.

“You brat, are you teasing me now? How is your recovery?” Ye Mo smiled and reprimanded at the same time.

“Not bad. My body is now one of a 12-year old and is still undergoing maturity. I wonder what will be the next changes when I reach the next evolution process. There seems to be some new information in my memory.” Ling’er said cutely, sticking out a slim finger.

“What memory?”

“It is regarding the memory of the Skylight City as a City of Death. Perhaps I could guess the reason for all of the Skylight City’s soldiers reviving.”

“Really? Let’s hear it.” He asked her curiously. She’d definitely caught his attention.

“Skylight City was actually a City of Evil in the ancient times, a city filled with soldiers who practiced Blood Spirit Techniques and sucked the blood of humans to increase their training. First, they killed all their own people, and then other residents from neighbouring cities, committing countless heinous deeds. The final Transcendence Realm fighter finally made a move, turning Skylight City into a true City of Death in a single night and becoming the first ever ruler of the Tianwu Kingdom–Lee the Great.”

“So it turned out to be Lee the Great who turned the Skylight City to the City of Death.” Ye Mo felt something strange.

“Based on my memory, Lee the Great didn’t actually slaughter everyone. He spared the life of a small girl. Legend has it that the girl was gifted with the powers of the Blood Light Shroud since birth, a natural Body of Blood. I suspect that she was the reason why the soldiers in Skylight City revived,” said Ling’er.

“How is that possible? And what is the link between the soldiers and the girl?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.

“That is an ultimate secret that involves the rulers, and, perhaps, the death of your father is likely related to this as well.”
