The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Ye Mo stared at Qi Ying’s back in shock while many emotions flashed through his mind. Within two months, Qi Ying’s strength surged from the Energy Shaping Sixth Realm to the True Energy Realm.

If Ye Mo’s progress was stunning, Qi Ying’s growth could only be described as horrifying.

“How did she progress so quickly?”

Ye Mo was stunned and, for a while, could not come to his senses. The might of the Emperor could not upset him, but Qi Ying’s progress landed a blow on him like a hammer.

“Shocking, right?” Ling’er’s voice sounded from his energy center.

“It is indeed shocking. It seems like I have not put enough effort into training,” Ye Mo said.

“It is not about you not working hard enough, but about her progressing far more quickly. As she is an Empress, the Spirit Majestic in her body, which is blessed by God, will facilitate her training. An 18-year-old True Energy Realm martial artist can be considered as an exceptionally talented genius, even if you compare her to other martial artists in Lingwu Continent,” Ling’er sighed.

“When Spirit Majestic is already so magnificent, how powerful will Spirit Supreme be?”

“That’s how it is. Otherwise the Emperor of Tianwu Kingdom cannot rule a well-protected kingdom.”

Ye Mo felt more stressed upon acknowledging the situation. Afterwards, the Rising Dragon Pillar, which seemed to have its own soul, responded by vibrating and stirring the Yuanli in his energy center, seemingly stating, “The Spirit Supreme is nothing.”

This day, to everyone in Limestone City, was a historical moment.

A great shuffle of power had occurred in Limestone City. With the support of a powerful martial artist, the Xiao family officially took charge of Limestone City while the Xin family would retreat from Limestone City within three days.

As for the Ye family, its people had remained silent and not participated in any activities in Limestone City. They kept a low profile, as if they had vanished.

In his study, while listening to his subordinates discuss the retreat of the Xin family, Xiao Yuanshan could not stop smiling. An incident, which was supposedly to be a disaster, was resolved by Ye Mo through the support of a powerful martial artist who could kill a Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter with ease. Additionally, Ye Mo took the opportunity to expel the Qin family from Limestone City with justifiable reasons.

If Ye Mo had only relied on Liu Qingcheng to expel the Qin family by force, the Qin family would not have left without a fight.

However, as the Qin family deliberately hid the Kill Order with the intent to frame the Xiao family, Ye Mo’s expulsion became an act of mercy.

This had also been Ye Mo’s promise to Xiao Yue.

“Uncle Xiao, the influence of the Xiao family in this city is now consolidated. With the power of Elder Liu, no other families will dare to rebel. As for the Ye family, only Ye Changsheng may pose a threat to us. According to rumors, a union chief in Qingyun Alliance took notice of his talent, and he has become an influential figure. But please don’t worry. Once I arrive at the Qingyun Alliance, I will keep an eye on Ye Changsheng,” Ye Mo told Xiao Yuanshan.

“Ye Mo, it is still a surprise to me that you could gain the support of such a powerful martial artist. You are a talented young man, so please remember to keep a low profile in Qingyun Alliance. There are many aces in Qingyun Alliance with prestigious family backgrounds, but we have none,” Xiao Yuanshan exhorted.

“Rest assured, Uncle Xiao. I will work even harder at the Qingyun Alliance. When I grow stronger, the Xiao family will also become powerful, and I can will Xiao Yue even more quickly. By the way, Uncle Xiao, are there any Yuanli lodes in this city?”

A Yuanli lode referred to an underground space that stored Yuanli. It was a suitable location for arranging a Magical Formation as the Yuanli could be used to support the formation.

“A Yuanli lode?”

Xiao Yuanshan thought for a while, then said, “There is a Yuanli lode at the back garden of Xiao Mansion, but it is useless for me. I heard a Yuanli lode was a place for arranging a Magical Formation. If we Xiao family had an Energy Gathering Formation, our disciples would make a greater progress in training than others.”

“Uncle Xiao, arranging an Energy Gathering Formation is a piece of cake for me. I raised this issue because I plan to arrange an Energy Gathering Formation of Five Elements, which can operate with the power of a Yuanli lode and act as a center for young disciples in training. Uncle Xiao can select some disciples with talent and train in the formation. With more disciples of the Xiao family entering the Qingyun Alliance, the Xiao Family will grow stronger and stronger.”

“You are capable of arranging an Energy Gathering Formation? I am told arranging an Energy Gathering Formation requires a Refining Seal, which is a seal even my wife does not know too much about,” Xiao Yuanshan exclaimed.

“Uncle Xiao, obtaining a Refining Seal is indeed difficult, yet not for me. Please bring me to that Yuanli lode now. I have already refined a Rank One Energy Gathering Formation of Five Elements.”

“Haha! Let’s go!”

Xiao Yuanshan was a bit excited and led Ye Mo to the mountain behind the Xiao Mansion.

For a family to become stronger, it had to rely on the new blood within the family. In order to train them, the necessary materials were pills, martial techniques, and an Energy Gathering Formation.

Upon arriving at the mountain, Ye Mo saw some disciples of the Xiao family training who were of a similar age as Ye Mo.

When the disciples saw their clan master, all of them stopped training and stared at Ye Mo. The disrespect they harboured towards Ye Mo in the past had turned into admiration.

“Continue your training!” Xiao Yuanshan ordered and brought Ye Mo to the Yuanli lode.

“There is a Yuanli lode deep underground!”

“A Yuanli lode is as valuable as treasure. This Yuanli lode has existed for thousands of years, maybe even millions. The Yuanli may be weak, but it is limitless. That’s why it is the best place for arranging a Magical Formation.”

Ye Mo took out a seal of Energy Gathering Formation of Five Elements and tossed it up into the air. The seal floated in the air, expanded abruptly, and started rotating. Lights of five different colors shone on the ground and formed a large Magical Formation.

“This is the Energy Gathering Formation of Five Elements.”

Staring at that large Magical Formation, Xiao Yuanshan was astonished. This formation was large enough to hold 50 disciples.

“Uncle Xiao, it is done. There is a month before the entrance exam for the Qingyun Alliance. I will stay here at Xiao mansion for a month to train and refine some seals and pills for your family.”

In an isolated room, Ye Mo sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at the book of the Heaven’s Flaming Sword.

On the cover of the book, there was a True Energy seal with traces of Heaven’s strength. It could be touched, but could not be unlocked.

“Heaven’s Flaming Sword, an inherited martial technique of the Taishi family with a formidable power. If only I could unlock the seal…” Ye Mo thought. “This seal is composed of energy, which means it can be engulfed and absorbed by my Rising Dragon Pillar. If I can absorb the seal, does that mean I can unlock it and read the book?”

“Idiot! If you absorb it, the clan leader of the Taishi family will immediately find out about it. The seal was placed by him, so the seal contains his Spirit Energy. Once the seal disappears, the clan leader will know,” Ling’er’s voice sounded.

“Is there no other way?” Ye Mo asked.

Ling’er sat on a parchment, swung her white, skinny legs, and said, “If you can remove his Spirit Energy within the seal, he will not find out.”

“Spirit Energy? Haha! Ling’er, you are the expert in this field!”

Ling’er was pleased, but then grumbled, “After following you for a long time, my Spirit Energy has not grown stronger but instead become weaker. Tell me how you will compensate me.”

Ling’er saved him again and again with her Spirit Energy, causing her Spirit Energy to drop over time.

“I have not asked you to pay rent. Isn’t it enough?”
