The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 310

Chapter 310

League Leader Yao Qingyun, Elder Feng, Elder Yun, and a few other elders were at the League Leader Pavilion in the Qingyun League . Standing opposite them was Yao Yue . Tears were trailing down Yao Yue’s eyes, yet she did not say a word .

Yao Qingyun knew his daughter well and immediately understood that something must have happened . Since she was born, Yao Yue had only cried once . That was when her mother was killed by someone from the Emperor Faction . Even when she fell down when she was learning to walk, she had never cried . From this, it was clear that only something extremely serious could make her cry .

“What happened? Did the assassination fail?”

“Yao Yue, if it failed, it failed . The target is a True Energy Realm fighter . Being able to escape is a good enough outcome . ”

As the elders were guessing what happened, Yao Yue spoke, her eyes tearing up again, “To protect me, Ye Mo lured Huang Shihu away . ”

“What? He lured Huang Shihu away?” Disbelief appeared on everyone’s faces .

“I failed my assassination . After exchanging several moves with Huang Shihu, I was defeated . Just as he was about to force himself on me, Ye Mo ambushed him and left him seriously injured . Then, Ye Mo fled with me…” Yao Yue started telling them everything that had happened .

“Even if that Huang Shihu has been seriously injured, Ye Mo is still far from his match . I don’t think he will survive that,” an elder said with a sigh .

Everyone frowned as they heard what the elder said . Things were really looking bad for Ye Mo .

Yao Yue gave his father a deep gaze and spoke, clearly blaming him, “Father, why had you sent him to help me with that mission? If he hadn’t accepted that mission, he wouldn’t have died . ”

“Girl, I sent him because I was afraid that you might fail . Although that Huang Shihu is a pervert, he is still a cautious person . With Ye Mo’s help, you had a higher chance of success . ” Yao Qingyun felt helpless when he saw the fury on his daughter’s face .

“If Ye Mo dies, what am I supposed to tell Chuchu, who is cultivating at the Heavenly Fiend World?” sighed Yun Tianxie as he shook his head .

“What is there to explain? Am I not here?” Ye Mo said as he walked in the room with a wide smile on his face and a huge hammer resting on his shoulder .

Everyone froze where they stood . Even Yao Qingyun, who was a Spirit Devour Realm genius, could not hide the shock from his face . As for Yao Yue, she was at first shocked before the shock on her face was replaced by joy .

“Ye Mo, you are still alive?” Yao Yue cried out in shock . The sorrow in her heart was completely replaced with curiosity .

“Yeah . I got lucky! Senior Sister Yao Yue, how are you? Are you okay?” Ye Mo started asking about Yao Yue’s injuries instead .

“I… I’m fine . I only need some rest,” Yao Yue said with her head lowered . She no longer dared to look into Ye Mo’s eyes .

“How did you escape Huang Shihu, Ye Mo?” This was something everyone was curious about .

Even Yao Yue would have a hard time escaping the pursuit of a True Energy Realm fighter . Ye Mo tossed the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer onto the floor . When it landed, the cloth wrapped around it opened, revealing the sinister weapon .

“That Huang Shihu got unlucky . After his injury, his strength dropped greatly . I managed to kill him with an ambush after a bitter battle . ”

Everyone was dumbstruck . Apart from Yao Yue, everyone’s brows twitched . Ambush? A True Energy Realm would never be killed so easily with a mere ambush .

Since Ye Mo had returned with the Bloodlust Meteor Hammer, it proved that Huang Shihu had indeed died . However, they were very curious as to how Huang Shihu had been killed . An ambush was quite a far fetched reason for a True Energy Realm fighter to lose against at Ye Mo’s level, but since Ye Mo was clearly intending to hide it, they did not bother asking .

“Good . You are indeed a young elite . With the death of Huang Shihu, yet another hidden danger of the kingdom is gone,” Yao Qingyun said with a laugh, snapping everyone out from the collective silence .

“League leader, the elders promised to give me a surprise after the completion of this mission . I have a request and I hope that it can be fulfilled . I can forfeit the promised reward for this . ” Killing a True Energy Realm fighter was extremely difficult . Therefore, the surprise they would give him would definitely be something valuable .

“Oh? You have a request? Tell me about it . What is it that you want so badly?” Yao Qingyun asked with a calm smile .

“I beg the league leader to stop sending Senior Sister Yao Yue on assassination missions,” Ye Mo said with his hands clasped after sending a glance at Yao Yue .

“Oh?” Yao Qingyun called out in astonishment . He had never expected that this would be Ye Mo’s request .

Ye Mo ignored Yao Qingyun’s astonishment and continued speaking . “This mission was way too dangerous . You only have one daughter . Could you really bear to see your daughter being held prisoner if she had failed the mission?”

Yao Qingyun was first stunned before he shook his head with a helpless smile . “You would actually put forth such a request for this girl . In truth, all this was out of her own request . Since she saw her mother’s death at the hands of someone of the Emperor Faction, she requested that I train her into a remarkable assassin so she could avenge her mother . Of course, I do not wish to see her continue down this path . But you know my daughter as well . She is extremely stubborn . ”

When Ye Mo heard this, he turned around to look at her . She had her head lowered as she remained in silence .

“Senior Sister Yao Yue, I am back . Do you remember what I told you?” Ye Mo asked .

“This is a path I have chosen for myself!” Yao Yue raised her head, her face turned frosty and ethereal once more .

“Since it’s a path, you can choose a new path to walk . If you insist on continuing to be an assassin, fine . But you have to include me in all your missions . Otherwise, I won’t allow you to go on any missions . I am now equipped with sufficient strength to stop you now,” Ye Mo said with a grin .

Yao Yue turned her head to the other way, looking quite beautiful even when she was angry .

“By the way, the league leader told me that you are eligible to compete for the Chief Elect position . I hope you can give me the position instead,” Ye Mo said as he thought of this .

“You can have it,” Yao Yue said as she tossed a token over to him . She continued speaking, “This token was given to me by Lord Xuan Ji herself . The holder of this token can compete for the Chief Elect position, and since your strength is no weaker than me, Xuan Ji won’t have any reasons to reject you . ”

She had no interest in the League War so she did not mind passing the token to Ye Mo instead .

“This really works?” Ye Mo was somewhat doubtful .

“This is merely a type of qualification . Any Elite League member can challenge a league member with this qualification to compete for the Chief Elect position . If he defeats that member, the token signifying the qualification would belong to him . This is a rule of the Qingyun League, a form of competition within the league . Over the years, this qualification had evolved to the point where only the strongest league members could have this token in their possession . ”

As Yao Yue patiently explained, Ye Mo gained a better understanding of the Elite League member that used to lead them .
