The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Qin Hao was a man of ambition – had it not been for Ye Mo’s appearance, he would have conquered Limestone City long ago .

Three days passed in the blink of an eye!

As the sun started to rise, the residents of the Xiao Mansion was already completely occupied with their duties . Many servants from various clans sent presents to the Xiao Clan, martial techniques, pills, and treasured items .

The place was bustling with activity even before dawn . Traders passing by were intrigued by what was going on – even wedding ceremonies were not of this grand stature .

In a tea house, a large man drank his tea . With a straw hat on his head, he did not move his body or his eyes while he sensed the situation outside .

He asked the waiter with a deep voice, “Lots of celebration is going on outside with everyone carrying gifts . What is going on?”

“Dear customer, you must be a foreigner . Our top talent of the Limestone City, Ye Mo, made the breakthrough to the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm . The Xiao Clan organized a feast for all the clans across the city to celebrate his achievement . I’m guessing that Xiao Yuanshan is surely using this opportunity to show off his talented son-in-law to the people of Limestone City . I heard that Ye Mo is the son of Tianwu Kingdom’s top talent back in the day – Ye Qing,” the waiter told the man and left as he put his towel on his shoulder .

“Ye Mo!” The brute said coldly, with savage aggression written all over his eyes, as if he was about to explode at any time .

This man was the one who had successfully escaped his death sentence – Man Tianhe . To be more accurate, he was six hours away from having his death sentence revoked .

But Man Tianhe did not want to waste any time exacting his revenge . With his disguise on, the moment six hours passed, he was back to being a free man .

“There are still six hours left . I will use this time to disguise myself and enter the Xiao Mansion so I can witness all of their wild celebrations . The wilder all of you are and the greater the celebrations, the greater the release from my anger I will get when I shower all of you in blood after six hours is up . Especially you, Ye Mo . I will extract every drop of blood out of your body and let you dry up in the sun . ”

As Man Tianhe spoke, he lowered his hat further, suspiciously leaving the tea house after leaving a few shattered silver shards on the table .

At the same time, the Xiao Mansion was already packed . Families of all sizes across Limestone City had showed up at the feast . Those ladies who were still unmarried were all dolled up beautifully under instructions from their fathers, hoping to attract Ye Mo’s attention .

The celebration venue took up the whole of Xiao Mansion, extending to the training area and dining hall where table after table of feasts were set up with a song and dance performance in between .

All the disciples from the various clans took their seats .

Ye Mo sat in the center of the Mansion with Xiao Yuanshan and Madam Xiao sitting on his either side . It was obvious that Ye Mo was the guest of honor for today .

Ye Mo held a smile on his face at all times, greeting the various clan members across the city .

In the eyes of those clan members, Ye Mo saw envy, jealous and admiration .

“So he is Ye Mo . He may not be the best-looking, but his level of training is scary indeed . Reaching the Spirit Cultivating Realm before he even turned 16!”

“Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm is nothing impressive . I heard that Ye Changsheng recently advance to the Energy Shaping First Realm . Who knows how he managed to train to that level . ”

“Energy Shaping First Realm — so what? A month ago, Ye Mo, with the strength of the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm, slaughtered Man Qi, an Energy Shaping First Realm fighter!”

“That is because he used his seal techniques . Had he not used the seal, it would have been a heavy defeat for him . However, Ye Mo against Ye Changsheng – who will emerge victorious is anyone’s guess!”

The disciples from a few clans were in a hot debate .

“Everyone . ”

While not everyone was there yet, Xiao Yuanshan stood up and said loudly, “Today is a big day for my son-in-law, Ye Mo, a day of celebration . Furthermore, he advanced to the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm; the sky is truly the limit for him . With such a cause for celebration, today, the Xiao Clan invites everyone to come together and to celebrate and have fun . Let us raise our cups and celebrate . ”

“Haha! Congratulations, Master Xiao!”

“Haha, you are too kind . Drink up!”

“Haha, Brother Xiao, I give myself three cups as punishment for being late!”

Qin Hao brought Qin Tianmu as they entered the hall in big steps . Qin Tian was also a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm .

“Haha, you are too kind, Master Qin . The future development of Limestone City relies on the two of us working together . Please take a seat!”

“Please!”

Qin Hao smiled, sitting down beside Xiao Yuanshan . Qin Tianmu took a seat as well, both eyes stuck on Ye Mo as he sized him up .

However, this time, the Qin Clan was not in attendance, with the seats reserved by Xiao Yuanshan for them all empty .

As the banquet started, it was expectedly crowded, with people forming into groups, dancing, and tasting the variety of delicacies and alcohol .

“Haha, just drinking like this is too boring!”

Qin Hao let out a huge laugh, before saying, “A month ago, Ye Mo, as a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm, defeated a Ninth Realm fighter in the form of Ye Changsheng in what was a shocking display of power . Furthermore, he killed Man Qi, an Energy Shaping First Realm fighter with the use of his seal techniques . I am extremely intrigued by his abilities . Why not let him show off a few moves . What does everyone think?”

Ye Mo listened on, but studied Qin Hao for a long while . Following that, he felt a wave of blinding light powered by the sun and the moon in his body, an aura of pressure . This Qin Hao actually had the guts to display his authority over him in front of so many people .

“Is your aura stronger than the Giant Dragon Powers?”

Thinking this to myself, Ye Mo awakened the Rising Dragon Pillar and a wild wave of energy rose up, with the aura of the ancient beasts exploding, chasing the blinding light ray out of his body .

However, Ye Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Qin Hao with a smile . While he was not sure what Qin Hao was planning, this move was not going to defeat Ye Mo .

“Good boy!”

Qin Hao retracted the aura that he had directed towards Ye Mo as shock was seen clearly on his face . What followed was a middle-aged man in the middle of the banquet standing up .

“I am Wu Yong from the Wu Clan, and I’m in the Energy Shaping First Realm . I would like to spar a few rounds with Ye Mo . ”

“Sparring would not be necessary . Today is a day of celebration, it would be taboo to get physical . If there is a chance in the future, I will head towards the Wu Clan to train and spar with you!” Ye Mo rejected him, waving him hands .

“Don’t tell me you are afraid of accepting the fight? What happened to your arrogance from before? If you dared to accept Man Qi’s three-day battle back in the day, why are you scared of sparring with me?” Wu Yong asked coldly .

Energy Shaping First Realm fighters were no fuss for Ye Mo – this was an affair that would only needed one punch to finish, and Ye Mo did not want to hit his opponent .

“Hahaha, I heard that the Xiao Clan invited every clan in the Limestone City to the banquet . I wonder if the Tai Shi Clan is allowed to drink this cup of wine . ”

A bright voice could be heard as three shadows slowly walked towards the Xiao Clan Hall . The leader among them wore a grey gown and had a long beard . Energy surrounded his body, a highly unusual sight .

Regarding the other two, one was Tai Shidan and one who looked rather similar to Tai Sidan . His aura was much stronger than Tai Shidan, however; jis strength was estimated to be in the Energy Shaping Second Realm .

“The Tai Shi Clan!”

Everyone was in shock . Even the Tai Shi Clan was here to attend the Xiao Clan’s banquet to congratulate them .
