The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

“Sister Cheng Lin, Master told us to hurry back to the Sky Bane Temple upon the completion of our mission. Now that the Sky Bane Temple is about to start our battle with the Holy Poison Palace, we need to return as soon as possible. While we may not be able to help much, we still have to protect the temple,” Xiao Yue said calmly, with no hint of room for negotiation in her voice.

The Sky Bane Temple and the Holy Poison Palace were northwards of the Zone of Desolation, representing two superpower forces in Mo Lo City. The two societies were all trained in the poison-type technique. With similar forces naturally not going to be able to co-exist, an all-out war was inevitable.

“Sister Xiao Yue, it is so rare of us to get the chance to come out. We should at least take a look at how the wedding is going, how the groom looks, how he can marry the daughter of the Mu Family. I heard that she is an ultimate beauty in the Cloudsea City.

“Dear four guests, there are some things that you are all not aware of. A few days ago, the Mu Family was almost destroyed by the Hong Family. However, a mysterious, talented youngster appeared and lent them a helping hand. With the strength of one, he defeated multiple elite fighters from the Hong Family, destroying all of them. What frightening strength. This talented youngster is exactly who Lady Mu Qing is marrying.” After speaking, the servant brought over a pot of wine before leaving.

“I did some research. Hong Hai, head of the Hong Family, has strength in the advanced stage of the Transcendence Realm. For someone to be able to destroy the whole Hong Family alone, I’m afraid that this man’s powers have already reached the peak of the Transcendence Realm.” The only man amongst the four people said with an unimpressed tone. “Being at the peak of the Transcendence Realm may be a big achievement for the families in these small cities. However, there is still a huge difference when compared to us.”

“Brother Yang Yao, you try and convince Sister Xiao Yue. We rarely get to go places – and it’s the Zone of Desolation this time, of all places.” Another woman named Liu Ying said. She had malt-colored skin but appeared very energetic. She was also an easily curious person. She was not going to let this rare opportunity of getting to come down the mountain to carry out the mission slip from her hands.”

“Sister Xiao Yue, we completed our mission way ahead of time on this occasion. We still have half a month’s worth of time left. We rarely get to come out. Let’s join the crowd, and we will return to the Sky Bane Temple immediately after the Mu Family wedding is over.” Yang Yao persuaded as well.

From the friendly tone of these three, it was evident that this group of four centered around Xiao Yue.

“Fine. However, I will not be following. I’m returning to the guest room to rest. You three go ahead!” Xiao Yue said as she walked up to the guest room on the second floor alone.

“Sister Xiao Yue trains too hard. I wonder how brilliant the man in her heart is, to be able to make our Sky Bane Temple’s once-in-a-century prodigy miss him so much.” Cheng Lin shook her head as she looked at Xiao Yue’s back.

Yang Yao said calmly, “I heard from the Master that Sister Xiao Yue was initially a resident in the lower class of the Tianwu Kingdom and was brought to the Sky Bane Temple to be nurtured after she was discovered to have the Sky Phoenix Poison Curse Body. The Master said that she had a person that she liked before coming to the Tianwu Kingdom; that man must be from the Tianwu Kingdom as well. However, no matter how much they liked each other, the distance between them just became wider and wider. No matter how hard fighters in the lower class kingdom train, they will still be far behind the fighters from the ultimate clans. Furthermore, Sister Xiao Yue was a once-in-a-lifetime talent of the Sky Bane Temple. Now that she has already reached the peak of the Heaven’s Strength Realm; she is an extremely rare talent even in Mo Lo City.”

Cheng Lin said curiously, “I want to meet that man and see what’s so different about him.”

“Who cares about him, we don’t want to see him anyway. Let’s go check out the wedding!”

Ye Mo could not help but let out a pout upon seeing himself in the groom’s attire. He was supposed to wear this to marry the woman he loved. However today, to enter the Luosha Blood Pool, he was wearing the most important attire of his life.

“Master Ye Mo, the Lady says that the wedding ceremony can commence once you finish changing. According to the ceremony layout, you are supposed to welcome the Lady from the Mu Residence back to your home. However, since you don’t have a home, all you have to do is take the Lady around Cloudsea City before returning to the Mu Residence. The voice of a servant could be heard from outside the house.

“Go ahead first, I will follow behind shortly!”

Ye Mo fixed his bearings before leaving the room. The Mu Residence was already filled with joy since the morning. As for the Mu Family’s head, Mu Feng, his face could not help but reveal a smile.

“Son-in-law, I’ve prepared a horse for you. Later, you’ll ride the horse and bring my daughter up in the flower carriage. Understand?” Mu Feng patted Ye Mo on the shoulder, his face filled with delight.

Ye Mo felt somewhat sheepish as he looked at Mu Feng’s expression, this act was getting a bit too real.

“Understood, father-in-law.”

All the preparation work was completed, and Ye Mo held Mu Qing’s hand and slowly walked out of the house. By then, there were already plenty of people standing outside, joining with the crowd.

Mu Qing’s expression could not be seen as her face was covered by a red hood.

“Look, there’s the groom. He looks decent, but he isn’t a worthy match for Lady Mu.”

“There are things that you don’t know about. That groom may be even younger than Lady Mu, but his strength is perhaps even stronger than the Mu Family head.”

“I see. Seems like it’s going to be a turn in fortunes for the Mu Family.”

“The groom will be bringing the bride up to the flower carriage!” A matchmaker shouted out loudly.

Ye Mo led Mu Qing into the flower carriage as he got on a horse. There were sounds of drumming noises and fireworks as the welcoming team started on their journey as well. The two sides of the road were filled with people.

“Sister Cheng Lin, look, what a crowd. Look, look, that is the groom, he’s so young,” Liu Ying said excitedly as she watched on.

“There are so many people. Is this what happens when you get married?” Chen Ling looked on with admiration in her eyes.

Having been training in the Sky Bane Temple since young, a place where men were rare and talk of relationships was not allowed, they were naturally looking forward to the idea of marriage. As for Yang Yao who was standing at one side, he also revealed a smile as he watched on.

Sitting on the horse and forcing out a smile, it was indeed somewhat uneasy for Ye Mo, with so many people watching on.

“If the person sitting inside the carriage was Yue Yue, I would be very happy.”

He shook his head. Leading the welcoming team, he went one round around the Cloudsea City. The festive joy was accompanied by sounds of drums. Almost everyone in the Cloudsea City heard the noises of the commotion as everyone, adults and children alike, ran out of their houses to join in the crowd.

Inside a hotel guest room.

A servant brought a pot of water and walked over carefully as he helped Xiao Yue brew some tea. At this moment, the festive noises coming from outside were making even Xiao Yue somewhat irritated.

“Servant, what’s going on outside? Why the noise?” Xiao Yue asked calmly.

“It is the welcoming party for Mu Family’s Mu Qing, who is getting married. It is a commotion outside – both sides of the streets are filled with people.” The servant replied.

Hearing that, Xiao Yue nodded her head and remained seated. When the servant left the room, she suddenly opened her eyes as she slowly walked towards the window.

“Those three are too playful.” As she muttered to herself, she opened the window and cast her gaze on the oncoming group. As her eyes set on the silhouette that was sitting atop the horse, her pupils dilated and her body shook.

“It’s Ye Mo!” Xiao Yue immediately blurted out, with a miraculous expression seen on her face.
