The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

The Zone of Seals was one of the five great regions of the Lingwu Continent, a holy land for all sealing artists.

The Zone of Seals was even larger than the Zone of Desolation, and the Spirit Seal City was the largest city in the Zone of Seals. It was said that the city was as large as an entire kingdom.

Not only was it big, but there were also many trade houses within the city. Those trade houses were each even larger than the Divine Treasure Guild Pavilion.

There, countless natural and rare treasures, and even the various seals of the Zone of Seals, were available. Regardless of which region a warrior came from, the warrior would ultimately seek to make their purchase at the Spirit Seal City.

But, of course, to travel through the spatial portal and reach the Zone of Seals wasn’t a simple feat.

There was only one spatial tunnel leading to the Zone of Seals. It was rumored that it was created by the ancient experts who opened up a connection between two separate points on the continent to enable trade.

The only shared currency of the continent was the Transcendence Pill. The Transcendence Pill was the only currency that could be used across the five greatest regions. The people of the other four regions wouldn’t deign to look at a Mixed Energy Pill.

In this trip to the Spirit Seal City, Ye Mo had two goals. The first was to purchase a Spirit Seed, and the second was to make use of the natural environment of the Zone of Seals to break through to the Transcendence Realm.

According to Nangong Wudi, even in the Spirit Seal City spirit seeds were extremely rare. Therefore, Ye Mo had to be prepared to return empty-handed.

But, for the sake of resurrecting Ling’er, Ye Mo was willing to put everything on the line. After Nangong Yurou left, he started refining Transcendence Pills as well. He spent an entire night working tirelessly and was able to refine over 5,000 Transcendence Pills. Those pills also had the power of Caged Dragon Power in them.

Ye Mo had discovered something else. In the past, when he attached his Dragon Power to his pills, the pill would just be awakened. But now that many powers were mixed within his Caged Dragon Power, Ye Mo was able to remove Asura Power and retain the Glorious Sun Power within his pills.

The Transcendence Pills he refined had some healing effect as well.

A single awakened Transcendence Pill was comparable in value to 10 ordinary Transcendence Pills. That was also the source of Ye Mo’s confidence that he would be able to get some spirit seeds this time.

Presently, Ye Mo and Nangong Wushang were waiting above the main square of the Castellan’s Estate. Nangong Yurou and Nangong Wudi were both there as well.

Several figures started arriving.

First to arrive were the two from the Wenren Clan, Wenren Yixiang and their elder, Wenren Dashan.

It was worth noting that Wenren Yixiang was worthy of her pretty name. She was not only beautiful, but she emanated a certain fragrance at all times. But if one assumed that this fragrance was comforting, one would be gravely mistaken, that fragrance was just one of her tricks.

The other person on the trade trip was Wenren Dashan, an old man who looked gentle and reserved. His strength was at Transcendence Seventh Realm.

“Haha, Elder Wenren, it’s been a while.” Nangong Wudi stepped forth, cupped his fists in greeting before speaking, “Yixiang is really getting prettier and prettier. At such young age, she’s already at the Transcendence Third Realm. Compared to my two daughters, she’s a genius.”

“You are too polite, Uncle Nangong,” Wenren Yixiang said with a smile on her face. “I am, after all, a few years older than Yurou and Qingxue. When they reach my age, their cultivation will probably be much higher.”

“Sister Yixiang, you sure have a sweet mouth,” Nangong Yurou said, stepping forward. “Let me make an introduction. This here is my future husband, Ye Mo. He’ll be one of our elite guards this time.”

Nangong Yurou declared her ownership over Ye Mo. This Wenren Yixiang was known for her habit of flirting with handsome guys. After she was done with them, she’d dump them. That was one of her hobbies, and it was why Nangong Yurou was unhappy to see Wenren Yixiang setting her eyes on Ye Mo.

With Wenren Yixiang’s charm and skills with playing a man’s heart, Ye Mo might very well fall under her sway.

“So you’re Ye Mo?” Yixiang sized up Ye Mo before immediately losing interest, “Nothing special. Just a late-stage Spirit Devour Realm warrior. Not even a Transcendence Realm warrior. Why are the Nangong Clan letting him be one of their elite guards? You better pray he doesn’t get himself torn up in the spatial tunnel.”

“Yes, exactly,” Nangony Yurou said. “He’s here on a suicide mission. Don’t even bother with him.”

“Looks like you care about him a lot,” Wenren Yixiang said. “Sister Yurou, don’t worry. Men who fail to attract my attention with one glance are men I won’t bother seducing. And it’s not like he’s extraordinarily good looking either.”

Not even Wenren Dashan could resist shaking his head. This young lady was truly a vixen. She spent all her time flirting but would never get into a serious relationship.

“I hope the Dongfang Clan is not too late.” A clear voice rang out. Two men, one big and one small slowly walked toward them. They were Dongfang Xu, the young master of Dongfang Clan and Dongfang Hong, their elder.

“This fellow has a decent strength. He’s probably reached Transcendence Fifth Realm.” Ye Mo lamented in astonishment when he sensed the undulation emanating from Dongfang Xu’s body. He would be a genius even among the Six Dao Palaces.

“It’s not too late. The two from the Shangguan Clan aren’t even here yet.”

Right after the words were spoken, two figures flew down from the sky. One of them was Li Tianqiong, while the other one was unknown to Ye Mo. He was most probably an elder of the Shangguan Clan. His strength was at the Transcendence Sixth Realm.

“Since everyone is here, as the castellan, let me give everyone a reminder,” Nangong Wudi said. “Upon reaching the Zone of Seals, your sole task is to purchase seals and other things you need. The Zone of Seals is different from the Zone of Desolation. It’s other people’s turf. Don’t cause trouble. You’ll need 15 days to reach the spatial portal at the extreme north of the Zone of Desolation from here. And you’re only allowed to stay in the Zone of Seals for 10 days. After 10 days, you have to return to the Zone of Desolation. Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded.

“Good, let me give you a lift then.” Nangong Wudi waved his sleeve. A ray of light streaked out before a massive Golden Goose Soaring Cloud Ship appeared in the air. The ship was a type of Spirit Weapon, and was able to travel at an extremely high speed. Although all eight of them were capable of flying, by traveling on this Golden Goose Soaring Cloud Ship, they would be able to cultivate during their travel instead.

After all, 10 days were a lot of time they could spend cultivating.

“Come on up, everyone.” Nangong Wudi was the first to step onto the Golden Goose Soaring Cloud Ship. The rest also flew up, one after another. Nangong Yurou stood there gazing at Ye Mo longingly.

“Don’t worry about me, Yurou,” Ye Mo said before flying up to the ship. “Wait for my return. Also, please pass a message to my seniors at the Asura Palace that I’ll be away for a month.”

Next, the Golden Goose Soaring Cloud Ship accelerated and turned into a ray of light as it streaked toward the far north.

On the ship, Ye Mo sat down cross-legged. He gazed at Li Tianqiong before shouting loudly, “Everyone, this fellow is my enemy. If I end up dead in the Zone of Seals, he is most definitely the culprit.”

Dongfang Xu and Wenren Yixiang both looked at Ye Mo in shock. That was all he had to say after staying silent for so long?

“Ye Mo, who is your enemy?”

Hearing that, Li Tianqiong was driven crazy. He had painstakingly thought up several plans, but they were all spoiled by Ye Mo with his simple words. After saying that, if Ye Mo ended up dead, the blame would definitely fell on him.

Nevertheless, Li Tianqiong wouldn’t give up on his plan to kill Ye Mo. It’s not like he had to do the job himself. As he thought of that, a sinister smile formed on his face.
