“Senior Ying, congratulations for breaking through into the True Energy Realm,” Ye Mo walked towards Xiao Cao and clasped his hand before saying to the old man behind her. This old man was the old man who had stayed beside Qi Ying at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion of Limestone City. He had now reached True Energy Realm and was serving as Xiao Cao’s guard.
Unlike Xiao Yuanshan who had relied on True Energy Pill to breakthrough, he had broken through by himself. Because of that, his aura was much stronger than ordinary True Energy Realm experts. Even his complexion looked better than the past. This was a benefit of having broken through into the True Energy Realm. One’s life span would increase and one’s vitality would become more vigorous as well.
“Haha, Ye Mo, it has been half a year since we last met. You have actually reached Energy Shaping Fourth Realm and easily defeated Zhan Jun. Your current strength is probably sufficient to defeat an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior, right?” Senior Ying said with a faint smile while stroking his beard.
“Yes. With my current strength, defeating an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior is not a problem.” Ye Mo did not bother concealing his strength. Senior Ying was Qi Ying’s trusted aid. Therefore, he wanted to let Qi Ying knew through Senior Ying that his current cultivation level was no longer the same. There was hope in him becoming a chief elect.
“Although we are close, we still need to follow the rules of the auction hall. Let’s go to the backstage and finish the deal first. If you can’t take out the 20 Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda Seals, we of the Qi Clan’s merchant house will go after you,” said Senior Ying.
“It’s only 20 seals. Let’s finish the deal at the backstage then,” said Ye Mo.
Then, the people of the merchant house brought Ye Mo backstage. As for Zhan Jun, he followed behind them with a hateful expression on his face.
“Say, why are you guys selling that ruined map?” Ye Mo asked after entering the backstage.
Senior Ying’s expression remained the same as he spoke, “This ruined map is only half of the original diagram and is useless for us. Since that is the case, of course we should put it out for sale.”
Ye Mo glanced over at Xiao Cao and noticed a slight shift in her gaze. He then said, “With the capability of the Qi Clan, there is no need to put this ruined diagram out for sale at all. It’s not like the Qi Clan is so poor they urgently need the 1,000,000 Stabilizing Pills, right?”
“Ye Mo, you’re indeed not a simple person.” Senior Ying gave Ye Mo a deep look before continuing, “This ruined map had been split into two by the emperor. One of them had been obtained by Qi Clan, yet the whereabouts of the other half is unknown. After many investigations, we had concluded that the other half had most probably ended up at the Ancient Martial City.”
The emperor had casually hid the Transcendence Golden Body at a dangerous location before drawing up a map so the various warriors could go hunting for it. This was merely a game for the emperor, a game he used to play with the various warriors. With a single Transcendence Golden Body, he drove all the warriors mad.
“You are saying that the other half is most probably in the hands of the Sima Clan?” Ye Mo said in astonishment.
“Yes. That Sima Clan is merely a second tier clan in the Ancient Martial City. We had originally planned to auction off this ruined map to someone from the Sima Clan before secretly tailing the people from Sima Clan. That way, we will definitely be able to find the Hellfire Wargod Transcendence Body,” said Senior Ying.
“In other words, my appearance had messed up your plan?”
“Not really. Your appearance can help us clarify if what we thought was true. We don’t even want the 20 seals anymore. You only need to stealthily leave the Ancient Martial City with the ruined map. Sima Clan will definitely send some experts to rob you. You only need to give them the ruined map in order to preserve your life. That’s all,” Senior Ying said.
“Of course, Sima Clan will not be the only ones wanting to rob you.” Everyone saw how Ye Mo had bought the ruined map. How would they allow him to so easily leave with it?
“Senior Ying, this is too dangerous. Young master had already provoked the people from Sima Clan. If he left with the ruined map alone, they will probably kill him before taking the map from him,” Xiao Cao immediately objected as her expression shifted.
“Hmph. One must take responsibility for what one did. He is the one who had decided to step out. If it wasn’t for him, that Sima Liang would have bought the ruined map long ago. Even after spending 20 seals to buy this ruined map, you will still be hunted by Sima Clan. Leaving the city with the ruined map is your only option now,” said Zhan Jun with a cold snort.
“I can do that. But I have a condition,” Ye Mo said after thinking about it.
“What is your condition?”
“If you manage to complete the map, I want to go with you guys when you are setting off for the Hellfire Wargod Transcendence Body. After all, that used to belong to my father,” Ye Mo said.
“What? Father?” Zhan Jun was first startled before he said, “You are saying Ye Qing is your father? How is that possible? I heard Ye Qing’s son is a trash. How can that person be you?”
Ye Mo ignored his astonishment and said, “Stop wasting time. If we keep delaying, the people of Sima Clan will start getting suspicious. Give me the ruined map.”
“Young master, are you really going?” Anxiety filled Xiao Cao’s face.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Cao. Your young master is no longer the same. Nothing will happen to me.” Ye Mo rubbed Xiao Cao’s cheeks as he comforted her.
“Since that’s the case, let’s do it then. I will be following you in the dark as well. Our goal will be to confirm if the Sima Clan has the other half of the map in their hands.” As Senior Ying spoke, he took out the ruined map from his storage ring and passed it to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo took the map and left without saying anything.
“Brother Ye Mo, that Sima Liang is following you in the dark. He is an expert in the Heaven’s Gate Realm. On top of that, there are several auras secretly tailing you within the city as well.” Ling’er’s soul perception was extremely terrifying. The moment they left the Treasure Inspection Guild, she detected several people tailing Ye Mo.
“That Sima Liang is an expert at the Heaven’s Gate Realm?” Ye Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly strolled around the Ancient Martial City. “What should I do now? If I leave now, the people tailing me will immediately kill me.”
“Among the people tailing us, Sima Liang is the only one in the Heaven’s Gate Realm. The others are at the True Energy Realm. However, Sima Liang is using his clone rather than his main body,” Ling’er said.
“What? A clone?” Ye Mo was greatly alarmed. A clone created by a True Energy Realm expert would look completely the same as the main body. Normal warriors would not be able to tell the difference.
“Yeah. The Sima Liang at the auction hall was also a clone. If his main body is here, he will be very difficult to deal with. But if it’s only a clone, hee hee…” Ling’er laughed. A warrior would not be able to easily create a clone. One would need at least 10 days or maybe even half a month to create one.
After all, a clone would be nearly as strong as the main body. Therefore, it wasn’t something that could be made so easily. Normally, when a warrior reached Energy Shaping Eight Realm, they would spend about half a month to create an energy clone. Then, the clone would be kept into the warrior’s body and could be summoned at any time to face an enemy.
“Haha, he is a Heaven’s Gate Realm expert. For someone like him, making a clone would take several months. I wonder how many strains of Dragon Power I can awake using his clone?” Ye Mo muttered before vanishing amid the crowd.
“Hmph. A puny warrior dares to fight over something with our Sima Clan. Just you wait until you leave the Ancient Martial City. I will immediately kill you and take the map. With that, our Sima Clan will have the completed map. The transcendence body of Ye Qing will be ours. At that time, our Sima Clan will rise from a second tier clan into a first tier clan.” After saying this, Sima Liang vanished right where he stood. While Sima Liang was vanishing, three other figures flickered and vanished at the same time as well.
“Senior Ying, congratulations for breaking through into the True Energy Realm,” Ye Mo walked towards Xiao Cao and clasped his hand before saying to the old man behind her.
