Everyone had a different expression to Lin Wei’s words
The old man behind Lin Wei had a look of deep disdain, the type of disdain a superior being had toward an inferior.
Lin Langya’s face was ashen. His father’s words were like a slap to his face, a painful, resounding slap.
Not even Lin Wei himself was aware that he was unintentionally insulting his son with his words.
Clan Leader Yin Hu was at a loss as to what he could say on Ye Mo’s behalf. In terms of looks and family background, he was indeed incomparable to Lin Langya. But in terms of cultivation, Ye Mo was much better than Lin Langya.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Lin Wei sneered and kept speaking, “One should know to retreat in face of difficulties one cannot overcome. A person like you should just return to your country and find a random daughter of a random wealthy family to marry. Isn’t that enough?”
Miao Miao couldn’t stay silent. “Clan Leader Lin Wei, in terms of looks, yes, Ye Mo is incomparable to Lin Lanya. But that’s mere mortal flesh. What use is it? And as for cultivation, ask Lin Langya who’s better. Do you think Lin Lanya was injured by some Transcendence Realm expert from the Zone of Demon? No. It was a Spirit Devour Realm expert. And Ye Mo killed that expert with a single strike with his spear. As for his background, Ye Mo is the only disciple the Asura Palace has recruited for 50 years. In the future, he’s sure to get the attention of a grand elder of the Door of Desolation and be taken as a disciple. Do you think the Spirit Hound Clan’s comparable to a grand elder of the Door of Desolation?”
“What did you say?” Lin Wie’s face turned ashen.
When Lin Wei saw that Lin Langya wasn’t saying anything, he knew that Ye Mo was definitely as powerful as described. Every word Miao Miao spoke was the truth. As Lin Langya listened to her words, his face became increasingly gloomy. He looked at Ye Mo angrily.
But Ye Mo killing an expert not even Lin Langya could defeat was too unbelievable.
“I don’t mean anything by it. I just don’t want my man to be insulted,” Miao Miao said. “Your family helped us beat Mo Hun into retreat. That’s a kindness the Spirit Fox Clan will always remember. If a day comes when the Spirit Hound Clan requires help, we will not hesitate to lend a hand as well.”
The purpose of their trip was to get the Devil Refining Gourd. How could they accept returning empty-handed?
“Yin Hu, old fox, you promised that so long as we rescue you in your hour of need, the marriage is set in stone,” Lin Wei said quietly. “By driving the Zone of Demon expert away for you, I’ve fulfilled my end of the bargain.”
“Clan Leader Lin Wei, I will never forget the favor of your clan,” Clan Leader Yin Hu said with his fists cupped. “But there is already a relationship between my daughter and Ye Mo. She can’t be married to Young Master Lin anymore.”
“Hmph. Yin Hu, just you wait,” Lin Wei said with a cold snort. “You’ll pay the price for this one day.”
Lin Langya and the others followed behind him as he left. The people of the Spirit Fox Clan could clearly feel Lin Wei’s anger.
Lin Wei and the black-robed woman stood alone within the cave dwelling of the Spirit Hound Clan.
“Lin Wei, since you are a member of the First Heaven Society, you should know the society master’s temper,” the woman in black said coldly. “With failure, you know what the consequences might be. We must obtain the Devil Refining Gourd. I will give you half a year. Get the orb in that time. I don’t care what methods you use.”
“Though the First Heaven Society is not a formal organization, we have influence in multiple major zones,” she continued. “Around 70% of the disciples of Human Dao Palace are members of the First Heaven Society.”
Lin Wei was shocked by her words, to the point he stood up from his seat.
The end goal of the First Heaven Society was to slowly penetrate the ranks of the Door of Desolation before destroying it with a single stroke. They were planning to destroy Door of Desolation, the tyrant of the Zone of Desolation.
A grand ambition, to be sure.
“Don’t be so shocked,” the woman said. “In the Zone of Desolation, there are many kingdoms and races, and about a third of them have already joined our ranks. The geniuses they send to the Door of Desolation are naturally our people. In one month, the trial of the Desolate Ancient World will begin. Of this batch’s new Human Dao Palace disciples, there are a few late-stage Spirit Devour Realm warriors and some talented mid-stage Spirit Devour Realm warriors that are all our men. You should know what to do with this information.”
The woman stood up and slightly stretched her body, her seductive figure fully accentuated as she moved. Although her cultivation level was far below Lin Wei, he did not dare to even think of disobeying her.
“Many thanks, First Heaven Emissary. I will definitely do my job properly and obtain the Devil Refining Gourd,” Lin Wei promised deferentially.
“You should be aware that death awaits those who disobey the First Heaven Society,” she said coldly. “To be honest, we don’t even care about tiny races like your people. But you still have some uses for us. Your mission is to obtain the Devil Refining Gourd, one of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons. Yin Hu, the geezer, has hidden it somewhere. No one knows where. Your other mission is to locate another of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons, the Sky Blood Spear. Not even the society master has ever seen it before. He guesses that it’s probably hidden amid the so-called hidden treasure of the Door of Desolation.”
The black-robed woman walked towards the door of the hall before stopping and saying, “Society master has also said that true death is not the death of the flesh. One will only truly die when one’s body and soul are eliminated.”
Her words caused even a Transcendence Realm expert like Lin Wei to shiver. A deferential look covered his face.
“You have to think of a way to increase Langya’s strength. Only by growing stronger will he have a chance to enter the Inner Peak.”
The woman left, leaving Lin Wei with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. If he could find the Immortal Weapon for the society master, the society master would reward him greatly.
With Ye Mo’s appearance, the crisis of the Spirit Fox Clan was resolved.
Within the cave dwelling of the Spirit Fox Clan, a feast held to celebrate Ye Mo.
“Haha, Ye Mo, for offending you before, I shall drink this glass of liquor to show you my respect,” said one of the elders as he downed a glass of liquor.
Ye Mo forced himself to smile politely.
Ye Mo’s talent had won the Spirit Fox Clan’s approval. Yin Hu also lowered himself and downed a glass of liquor to apologize to Ye Mo.
After drinking for a while, Ye Mo became somewhat tipsy. His mind blurred. Miao Miao didn’t say anything, and lifted him and sent him to his room.
After putting Ye Mo on the bed and covering him with a blanket, Miao Miao prepared to leave, but Ye Mo grabbed at her wrist. With a pull, Miao Miao landed in Ye Mo’s arms.
“Yue Yue, don’t leave me,” Ye Mo slurred. “I really miss you. Do you know how much it hurt l when I saw you writing my name at the mirage?”
In Ye Mo’s embrace, when Miao Miao heard those words her eyes turned gentle. Her entire body relaxed and just like that, she rested in Ye Mo’s embrace.
“I’ve loved you since the moment you called out to me when I was chased out of the Ye Clan,” he said. “I know, even if I have nothing, no strength, no background, you will still treat me as a friend. But don’t worry. I will cultivate hard. A day will come where I can stand before you and defend you against the world.”
