Chapter 287: Qi Ying’s Attitude
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing what was happening, extreme anger poured out from Ye Mo’s heart. Now, he had to rely on his own girl for protection. This was something that he could not stand.
“Cao Zheng, this is the Qi Residence!” Manager Qi stood out and said angrily.
“Haha, Elder Qi and the other elders were all invited by my father for me. There is currently no True Energy Realm fighter in the Qi Residence. Even if there were, would they dare to lay a finger on me?” Cao Zheng said coldly.
He was ultimately still one of the Five Talents of the Heaven’s Wall City. One could say that he was like a sacred treasure, someone destined to be a person of status and power. Few dared to touch him.
“Xiao Cao, if you want me to let him off, fine. He just has to get down on his knees and give me three kowtows, then walk once around the Heaven’s Wall City to tell everyone in the city that there is nothing going on between you and him. Also, he must tell everyone that he is merely your servant because he is not worth the title of young master,” Cao Zheng said calmly, his tone filled with disdain and relish.
“No way that that is going to happen. Don’t think that I am afraid of you just because you are in the True Energy Realm!” Ye Mo said angrily.
Making him kneel was impossible – he only ever got on his knees for his parents. Making him speak falsehoods about his relationship with Xiao Cao was even more unthinkable.
Hearing that, a pained look could be seen on Xiao Cao’s face. She said, “Cao Zheng, can I exchange you a favor in return for his safety?”
“There will be no favors to be exchanged – follow my orders or die!”
“You can go and die instead!”
In an instant, Ye Mo suddenly shot out a spear attack. This spear attack was generated from Ye Mo’s true killing instinct, not killing instinct that he had accumulated. With Cao Zheng pressuring down on him like he had the past few weeks, Ye Mo had been wanting to kill him for the longest time.
A light blade with three times the power combined with a spear attack filled with endless amounts of killing instinct – this was more powerful than any attack that Ye Mo had unleashed in the past. This spear attack was completely silent, and Cao Zheng could only react to it when the spearhead nearly reached touched his body.
“You overestimate yourself!”
With a casual swipe, a purple True Energy Shield formed beside his body. The shield’s surface sparkled continuously with electricity and a purple glow.
Boom!
The spear attack landed on the shield and had no effect at all. Cao Zheng laughed mockingly before waving his long sleeve again. A purple lightning flashed out, shooting towards Ye Mo like a twisting long snake.
“Be careful!”
He did not know where the voice came from, but it was already too late. The Purple Electric Long Snake hit Ye Mo’s body, causing him to fly back and land heavily on the ground as he coughed out blood erratically.
The purple lightning in his body continuously invaded and destroyed his organs. Ye Mo secretly awakened the Rising Dragon Pillars, causing the purple lightning to vanish.
However, he was still heavily injured from taking that blow.
Had it been any other Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighter, they would have immediately died upon receiving an attack like that.
However, Ye Mo had already reached Level Two Dragon Blood Strength and had an extremely tough defense.
“Now that my purple lightning has invaded your body, you are not far away from death,” mocked Cao Zheng.
“Brother Ye Mo, do not stay here any longer. Where there is life, there is hope. If you activate two body seals, that Cao Zheng may not be able to catch up to you,” said Ling’er.
“But!”
“Stupid, stupid! There are no but’s. Staying here only means death. Even if it was Qi Ying, she might not come and save you. Acting like this will only result in her thinking that you are useless,” said Ling’er anxiously.
“Cao Zheng, next time I see you, I will kill you for sure!” Ye Mo roared, before morphing into a dark shadow and shooting towards the sky.
“Eh?” Seeing this, Cao Zheng was hugely taken by surprise as well. Ye Mo was actually still able to move despite being hit by his purple lightning.
“Comparing speeds with a master of the Purple Lightning Technique like me, how laughable. If I let you escape, how can I maintain my reputation?” As he spoke, Cao Zheng formed a piece of jade. It was a messenger.
“All the Imperial Guards of the city, listen up. All of you, search for a man with black hair and clad in black garments, around 16 years old and strength levels in the Energy Shaping Fifth Realm!”
After that, Cao Zheng formed into a strike of purple lightning as he exploded in the direction in which Ye Mo had flown off to.

Seeing this, Xiao Cao immediately asked Manager Qi, “Manager Qi, where is Sister Qi Ying now?”
“It seems like the Lady is drinking tea with the princess at the Zhuge Tower,” said Manager Qi.
“Zhuge Tower!” Hearing this, Xiao Cao immediately rushed out and headed towards the Zhuge Tower. Being a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating First Realm, her speed was significantly quicker than commoners.
In an instant, Xiao Cao reached the Zhuge Tower, immediately asking the server about the whereabouts of Qi Ying. Recognizing Xiao Cao, the server brought her to the room where Qi Ying was straightaway.
Inside the room were two ladies, both of extreme beauty.
One of them was Qi Ying while the other had a beautiful and delicate appearance, silky smooth skin, and wore a palace dress, giving off an aura of royalty.
“Xiao Cao pays respects to the princess!” Xiao Cao bowed slightly to the princess before saying anxiously, “Sister Qi Ying, we need to hurry up and save Ye Mo!”
“Ye Mo?” Qi Ying frowned. While she did not know what had occurred, she could tell from Xiao Cao’s expression that something must have happened to Ye Mo.
“Who is Ye Mo?” The princess asked.
Hearing that, Xiao Cao’s heart trembled before she said anxiously, “He is the captain of the escort team for our carriage team. During our journey, he defeated the reserve guards led by Cao Sanshi. Cao Sanshi brought his men to create trouble in our Qi Residence, and Ye Mo killed a few of the reserve guards, infuriating Cao Zheng, who is now after Ye Mo’s head.”
“Sister Xiao Cao, there is no need to offend Cao Zheng over a mere escort team captain. Cao Zheng has since advanced to the True Energy Realm. I’m afraid that, among the younger generation, only the Empress can handle him,” said the princess gently.
“But!” Xiao Cao was about to speak before Qi Ying interrupted her.
“Nothing but a useless guy, coming to the Heaven’s Wall City just because he had some standard training. Xiao Cao, do you want to join us for tea?”
With the princess by her side, there was no way she could do anything to save Ye Mo!
Perhaps, Ye Mo’s death will be even worse!
“Sister Xiao Cao, would you like to join me for tea?” The Tianwu Princess completely disregarded the Ye Mo incident – things like that happened all the time in the Heaven’s Wall City.
“No, I still have matters to attend to!”
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed continuously on the rooftop, its speed reaching the maximum. However, behind him were tens of shadows clad in Imperial Guard attire following him. These guards were very powerful, with unique auras to them. All of them were in the Energy Shaping Eighth or Ninth Realm.
“Ye Mo, let’s see where else you can run!”
One of the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters increased his speed and flipped out a seal which made a pyramid appear immediately. The pyramid had seven levels and carried an Exquisite Will as it gave out a golden glow. It was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
This pagoda was able to suppress Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighters and was even stronger in the hands of an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter.
Looking at the oncoming Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Ye Mo sent out multiple strikes from the dragon spear in his hand, forming thousands of light blades that all landed on the pagoda.
Boom!
With another wave of his arm, the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighter caused the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to spin wildly. The pagoda’s exterior was strong, durable, and as heavy as millions of tons of steel. All of Ye Mo’s light blade attacks were nullified by the spinning pagoda.
Had Ye Mo not been in his current situation, he would definitely have studied this technique, an attack that used one’s energy to strengthen the seal, to capture its essence
Ye Mo’s attack could have easily killed any Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter. However, facing a strengthened Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, the attack was completely useless, with each light blade reflected away one by one.
In an instant, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda expanded further once again, directly applying pressure down on Ye Mo.
Boom!
The Seven Treasures chimed as the giant house collapsed under the pagoda. Ye Mo’s entire body was pressed downwards into the roof, causing him to be completely caught within the collapsed building. Then, everything was calm.
