Chapter 322: The Mystery of Ye Qing
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Thunder Wolf’s fury might have been strong, but Ye Mo and Yao Yue were no mere mortals. One was equipped with Giant Dragon Powers and had awakened 2,000 rays of Giant Dragon Powers, his training and will in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. He was definitely a top fighter. As for the other, she was born with an exquisite Ice Frost Spiritual Body, and her attacks were imbued with three types of will, a feat that even Ye Mo couldn’t achieve.
With both of them in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, there was seemingly no one who could match them. Furthermore, their chemistry was extremely good as well.
Taking multiple steps back, Gui Xiu’s mask cracked, revealing a face of struggle. His expression was already extremely distraught, and just as he was taking steps back in retreat, Ye Mo and Yao Yue once again raised the weapons in their hands, appearing near him.
“Die!” In that instant, the two of them didn’t give Gui Xiu, a True Energy fighter, any time to even catch a breath. With the Luosha King behind them, they couldn’t afford to waste any time here. They attacked constantly, threatening to put pressure on Gui Xiu, preventing him from generating even a bit of True Energy, causing him to fail completely.
However, Gui Xiu was ultimately still a True Energy Realm fighter. Facing both of their attacks, he mocked, “Members of the Martial Faction indeed, to be able to work together and counter my techniques.”
He swung the bat in his hand again without reservation. The energy stored in the bat was even stronger this time. Boom!
This hit caused the whole passageway to start trembling. True Energy spiraled up, its power roaring and its aura rumbling violently, giving off a feeling of extreme pressure. “To be able to cause the ground surface to shake and pressurize the land, this attack is definitely one that contains will.”
Ye Mo felt a chill in his heart, but persisted on with the attack, colliding with him. Boom!
Ye Mo and Yao Yue both took multiple steps back before they finally coughed up mouthfuls of blood.
“For you two to survive my attack, both of you are definitely something special. Not only did you two try to escape the prison; both of you have caused mayhem in the Luosha Prison. I shall kill you two now, and Master Luosha King will not blame me for it.” As he spoke, the bat in Gui Xiu’s hand was unleashed again. Following that, a cold voice was heard.
“Gui Xiu, stop!” It was the Luosha King. She appeared in front of Ye Mo and Yao Yue in an instant, an icy cold look on her face.
Gui Xiu leaned over and said respectfully, “Master Luosha King, you came at the perfect time. These two Martial Clan members are pretty well-trained, even able to block my attacks. I plead for you, Master, to apprehend them right away. It will be best if you crippled their training to prevent them from escaping again.”

“Gui Xiu, I knocked all the prisoners unconscious. You, instruct those Luosha members to capture the prisoners and throw them back into the prison and fix the prison cage. Hand these two over to me. I’ll naturally punish them accordingly,” the Luosha King said.
“Yes!” Putting his hands together, Gui Xiu left.
“You two, don’t even think about running away. Follow me to the palace,” said the Luosha King before turning around and heading to the palace below. As for Ye Mo and Yao Yue, they had no choice but to follow.
After entering the palace, the Luosha King sat on her throne, checking out Ye Mo.
Ye Mo decided to take all of the blame. “Luosha King, no matter what punishment you want to hand out, I’ll accept your orders. I only wish for you to let the person beside me go. Huang Shifu wasn’t killed by her—he was killed by me. His Dimensional Bracelet is also in my hands. There a Martial Faction name list inside, as well as the Empress’ decree—”
Upon hearing this, Yao Yue’s face changed, and she immediately interrupted Ye Mo. “Luosha King, don’t listen to his nonsense. I killed Huang Shihu.”
“Stop fighting, both of you,” said the Luosha King, before asking Ye Mo, “Are you from the Limestone City?”
“How did you know that?” Ye Mo replied, surprised.
“It must have been almost a year since your father’s passing.” Following that, a flash of sadness flashed across the Luosha King’s face.
“You knew my father?” Ye Mo was surprised. Xuan Ji must have had some connections to his father. With Luosha King being Xuan Ji’s sister, she should have known his father as well.
“I was the one who gave you your name.” As she spoke, tears started flowing down from the Luosha King’s eyes.
“You were the one who named me?” Ye Mo was deeply shaken. The Luosha King before his eyes was the one who had named him.
“Yes. After your mother gave birth to you, she was taken away by the family clan’s elite fighters not long after. As for your father, in order to get your mother back, he participated in that battle, handing you over for me to look after you. That was when I decided to call you Ye Mo. Who would’ve thought that your father would be defeated, returning with severe injuries? Initially, based on his training, he would’ve been able to completely remove the seal that had sealed his Energy Center. However, upon his return, he was surrounded by many of his enemies and completely defeated in the end. Even the Transcendence Golden Body that he had trained so painstakingly was forced out of him.”
As she spoke, the Luosha King took a deep breath before continuing, “If not for the intervention of Martial Clan elites, your father might not have been able to live for even that long.”
After hearing about Ye Qing’s downfall, Ye Mo became extremely emotional as he roared loudly with a pained expression, “If so, why didn’t you all save my father? Why?”
Holding Ye Mo’s hand tightly, Yao Yue could feel Ye Mo’s sorrow. Her heart filled with sadness as well. It turned out that Ye Mo was actually the son of the Tianwu Kingdom’s champion, Ye Qing.
“Because your father’s pride was completely destroyed,” the Luosha King said. “A training level good enough to look down on the whole of Tianwu with pride was lost overnight. That wasn’t something that anyone would’ve been able to handle. Furthermore, he had a child.”
A man at a training level in the Transcendence Realm, looking down on the whole of the Tianwu Kingdom, had become a crippled man overnight. The multiple promises he made—getting back Zining, making it up to the Luosha King—all perished due to his lack of power.
“Also, the seal used to restrain your father wasn’t removable by anyone except the Emperor. Even if the seal was indeed removed, your father’s strength wouldn’t have been able to return to its peak.
“Initially, I wanted to raise you, but your father wished for you to live a normal life in Limestone City, far from the world of battle. This was because he knew that Ye Mo, Ye Qing’s son, was definitely going to take after his father in terms of personality. Only by distancing him from Heaven’s Wall City and the three leagues would Ye Mo be allowed to truly grow.”
While hearing all that, determination surfaced in Ye Mo’s mind. It was perhaps an intentional look of determination—all he wanted was for his son to live happily.
“Thank you for telling me about this.” Calmly, Ye Mo deactivated the Appearance Pill’s effect, his appearance returning to normal. “This is what I really look like.”
“Just like your mother. Your personality was also extremely similar to your father’s when you were little. Little Mo, come here and let Auntie take a look at you.” The usually cold-blooded Luosha King smiled warmly, gesturing Ye Mo forward.
Ye Mo nodded and walked over. The Luosha King looked at Ye Mo repeatedly, seemingly never growing tired of his face. “Who would’ve thought that you would be able to reach such heights even in the Limestone City? You’re definitely as strong as your father when he was younger. You know, when your father was younger, he also got himself thrown into prison on purpose in order to save a woman.”
As the Luosha King spoke, she gave a bitter smile. “And that person was my sister, Xuan Ji.”
