Chapter 1480 - 1481: Zang Lian Compromises
When Xiang Qiu faced off against Wang Luo Sha in a life-or-death duel, Zhou Tianmo came looking for him. Ye Mo was certain that he hadn’t revealed a thing, yet the other party knew his strength.
There was only one possibility: Zhou Tianmo had searched Dantai Zanglian’s memories. This was a kind of soul manipulation technique, so Ye Mo thought of executing another plan within a plan, trapping Zhou Tianmo in the chess game he had set up.
As for Wang Luo Sha, Ye Mo had not killed him either. On the surface, Wang Luo Sha appeared to have his soul sea shattered by Ye Mo, but in reality, Ye Mo had merely rendered him unconscious.
"Ye Xiao — no, I should call you Ye Mo — you are from the Lingwu Continent, yet you want to seize my Wraith Clan. What are your intentions?"
Dantai Zanglian said coldly.
"Dantai Zanglian, it seems you’ve truly taken me for someone beyond redemption. To be honest, I am the successor of the Wraith Demon Emperor. I’m here to reclaim the Wraith Clan on his behalf."
Ye Mo said with a faint smile.
"What? You’re the successor of the Wraith Demon Emperor? How is that possible?"
Not only Dantai Zanglian but even the other envoys displayed expressions of disbelief.
The name of the Wraith Demon Emperor was well-known to these disciples of the Wraith Clan, and they never expected Ye Mo to be his successor.
"Years ago, during the battle between Soul Master Ao Cangwu and the Wraith Demon Emperor, the Wraith Demon Emperor was driven into the Lingwu Continent by Ao Cangwu. By a stroke of luck, I encountered the Wraith Demon Emperor when his strength had greatly diminished. He passed on all his power to me, which is how I possess this level of cultivation. His only request was for me to reclaim the Wraith Clan for him."
Ye Mo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. No wonder Ye Mo was so formidable; it turned out he had received the Wraith Demon Emperor’s legacy. Now everything made sense.
Seeing that Dantai Zanglian still doubted him, Ye Mo continued, "If I were not the successor of the Wraith Demon Emperor, how could Elder Mengxin adopt me as her foster son and make you her closed-door disciple?"
"But even if you are the Wraith Demon Emperor’s successor, the Wraith Clan is now fully established. If you seize power, it will undoubtedly weaken the Wraith Clan, leaving it vulnerable to the Dead Soul Royal Family. How will you resist then?"
Dantai Zanglian queried.
"You don’t need to worry about that. As long as you say nothing, no one will know I’m the Wraith Demon Emperor’s successor. Both clan leaders will continue to cultivate me. Once I advance to Divine Venerable Eight Souls, not to mention Wang Mo Luo, even if Ao Cangwu and Wang Mo Luo join forces, they will not be my match."
Ye Mo responded.
"Very well, I can agree to that, but you must promise not to harm the innocent disciples of the Wraith Clan."
After a moment of contemplation, Dantai Zanglian finally consented.
"Excellent!"
The outcome of the situation was well within his plans. He wasn’t putting on a show for Dantai Zanglian but for Zhou Tianmo.
"Follow me, and I will ensure you’re not at a disadvantage. Sit down in meditation, and I will bestow an awakening upon you, elevating your realm. This technique, even the clan leaders might not be able to accomplish!"
As Ye Mo spoke, he extended his hand, and the Tomb Dragon Power surged forth wildly, flowing into their bodies. Furthermore, Ye Mo handed all the Divine Venerate Pills he had stockpiled to these envoys, enabling them to align their cultivation with the pills.
After three periods, when the Flying Palace emerged from the time-space tunnel, everyone opened their eyes, exuding a powerful aura.
At that moment, everyone simultaneously faced the tribulation for ascending to Divine Venerable Seven Souls; even Ye Mo advanced to Divine Venerable Six Souls.
Everyone was shocked, having been stuck at Divine Venerate Six Souls for too long, never knowing when they might break through to Seven Souls. Yet Ye Mo, with a simple technique, enabled them to shatter this bottleneck.
"To have broken through to Divine Venerable Seven Souls?"
They felt their eyes well up with tears. The wait for Divine Venerate Seven Souls had been too long, possibly never-ending. They realized it was thanks to Ye Mo, as ascending to Divine Venerable Seven Souls might otherwise have taken an unknown amount of time.
"Great Celestial Son, I won’t say much in terms of gratitude. From this day forward, any command from you, and we’ll face any danger without hesitation."
Ascending to Divine Venerable Seven Souls meant reaching the late stage, causing a leap in strength and earning a prominent position within the Wraith Clan.
"There’s no need to discuss these matters further. Your allegiance is not to me, but to the Wraith Demon Emperor. Now, let’s return to the Wraith Clan. When Zhou Tianmo inquires, I’ll handle everything."
As he spoke, the Flying Palace neared the Wraith Clan. Ye Mo retracted the Flying Palace, and the thirteen of them flew towards the Wraith Hall.
"Who are those people? Such a powerful aura, even on par with the Elders Council."
"Aren’t those the Twelve Emperors? But I can sense that each of them has reached the level of Divine Venerable Seven Souls."
The strength of the twelve emperors that Ye Mo brought had significantly increased, and their aura was so imposing that even the disciples of the Heavenly Ranking trembled.
Ye Mo, leading the twelve emperors, entered the main hall of the Wraith Hall. The main hall was empty, but after a brief wait, Zhou Tianmo rushed in. Observing that the strength of the twelve had increased, his brows furrowed, especially noting Ye Mo’s Martial Dao realm had elevated to Divine Venerable Seven Souls, which astonished him. Still, he didn’t show it.
"I didn’t expect you all to ascend to Divine Venerable Seven Souls on this trip. It’s truly surprising. What exactly happened?"
Zhou Tianmo asked.
"Vice Chieftain, we went to the Holy Soul Domain to support the Southern Sea but encountered the Second Prince leading the Twelve Emperors. After a fierce battle, we annihilated them, seizing a wealth of resources, which allowed us to reach this level."
Ye Mo replied without changing expression.
"You killed Xue Wudi?"
Zhou Tianmo’s face revealed shock, but internally, he was elated. To him, Xue Wudi was an obstacle, and Ye Mo eliminating him was precisely what Zhou Tianmo wanted to see.
He now had to strategize on how to use Ye Mo as a pawn against Wang Mo Luo and Ao Cangwu, which was indeed a major issue.
Among the three, Ao Cangwu was the strongest, followed by him and Wang Mo Luo. However, Ao Cangwu and Wang Mo Luo secretly cultivated hidden powerful individuals that seldom took action, unknown to most. Each was at the level of Divine Venerable Nine Souls.
These hidden powers were known only to Supreme Elder-level figures but had never been seen. They were confidants of the Clan Leader.
Therefore, dealing with the two of them was not that simple.
