Clad in black with his hair ruffled, Ye Mo’s attire was very inconspicuous. As he walked within the Limestone City, a familiar feeling grew from within his heart.

After more than half a year of not returning back here, the Limestone City had gone through extremely drastic changes, with the city undergoing expansion construction again.

Ye Mo was on his way towards the Xiao Family when he heard the group of fighters chatting excitedly among themselves.

“Have you heard? Ye Changsheng returned to the Limestone City yesterday, and the whole Ye Clan cavalry is here to welcome him back.”

“Nothing surprising about that. You have to understand that Ye Changsheng’s strength has already reached halfway to the True Energy Realm. Tsk tsk, legend has it that this is the first time that the Qingyun League has witnessed such a talent.”

“Not only that, I heard that he is going to represent the Qingyun League in the League War. That’s a competition only held once every few years. So long as he emerges victorious in the League War, he will become the top talent of the Tianwu Kingdom as he rises to the very top. Someone like him is way out of our league.”

“Ye Changsheng also brought a worldly beauty back with him. Regardless of looks or her vibe, her qualities are comparable to that of Xiao Yue.”

“I’m guessing that Ye Kuang must be on cloud nine, seeing his son return with such fanfare.”

At that moment, he let out a mocking laugh.

“The Xiao Family is doomed now. The Ye Clan has been pressuring them relentlessly due to their prodigy of a son-in-law in the form of Ye Mo. Now that Ye Changsheng has returned, I’m afraid the Xiao Clan won’t be able to get out of this unscathed.”

“The Ye Clan already sent out invitations last night, inviting families big and small in the Limestone City – even the Xiao Family received an invitation. City masters in the surrounding cities will also be present to express their congratulations. Evidently, Ye Changsheng’s name has already been spread across the whole Southern region.”

Hearing that, Ye Mo remained speechless as he stood off to the side to continue eavesdropping, attempting to understand the current situation of Limestone City.

However, the Black Dragon Energy inside his body was flowing with increasing speed, every ray of energy imbued with killing intent.

“I’m afraid that the Ye Clan is testing the Xiao Clan. Regardless of whether Xiao Yunshan attends their banquet, perhaps they will just kill off Xiao Yuanshan there.”

As the group of people continued their discussion, they felt a wave of murderous intent surrounding them.

They felt a chill run down their spines. They immediately scanned their surroundings before leaving in their separate ways.

“Trying to make use of the banquet to kill Elder Xiao? I shall kill you right in front of everyone and take back my glory with my own two hands.”

Ye Mo’s killing intent poured out as he rushed towards the Xiao Residence.

In the conference hall, silent shadows were seen. Suddenly, one of the Xiao Clan disciples rushed in. “City master, I have finished my investigation. Ye Changsheng has already won the right to become the league chief elect, hence the huge banquet affair. Also, the 20 odd city masters in the surrounding cities have all expressed that they will be here to congratulate him.”

“I understand. Stand down for now!”

Gently waving his hand, Xiao Yuanshan immediately stood up, adjusting his clothes and slowly calming his emotions. There was not a hint of delight seen on his face.

He had also heard that only fighters under the age of 20 in the True Energy Realm had the right to become a league chief elect.

Such talented fighters were extremely rare in the Tianwu Kingdom.

Lady Xiao stood up and said worriedly, “Yuanshan, the Ye Clan has the upper hand due to Ye Changsheng. They even sent us an invitation, clearly for the banquet. I’m afraid that they will take advantage of you.”

“There is nothing we can do about it. Kings rise and fall. We, the Xiao Clan, managed to gain an advantage due to Ye Mo. Now, it’s the Ye Clan’s turn with Ye Changsheng. I have no choice but to attend this banquet. Furthermore, it will not be so easy for him to kill me,” Xiao Yuanshan said calmly.

“Aye, that Ye Changsheng’s talents are far below that of Ye Mo. How did he manage to advance from the Energy Shaping First Realm to Half True Energy Realm in just a bit more than half a year?” Madame Xiao was very perplexed as well.

“All I wish for is for Ye Mo to not return. If he knows about this, I’m afraid he won’t be able to keep his life.” Xiao Yuanshan shook his head and said, “Madame Xiao, if I die, escape and return to your mother’s. Stay alive and visit Yue Yue.”

“Yuanshan, you won’t die. If you’re going to die, I will follow you!” Madame Xiao held Xiao Yuanshan’s hand tightly, feeling the flow of power from each other as they exchanged a glance and a smile.

“Alright. If we’re going to die, let’s die together.”

Whoosh!

A shadow suddenly flashed across the conference hall and in front of Xiao Yuanshan and Madame Xiao’s very eyes.

“Who is that?”

Seeing the situation, Xiao Yuanshan immediately reacted, letting go of Lady Xiao’s hand as he started to look around.

“Uncle Xiao, it’s me, Ye Mo!”

Ye Mo slowly appeared in front of their eyes.

“Ye Mo? Why are you back?”

Xiao Yuanshan’s face was filled with surprise as he looked at Ye Mo. A hint of concern grew in his heart.

“I’m back to kill that Ye Changsheng!” Ye Mo’s face flashed with aggression and ruthlessness as his killing intent poured out.

“What? You’re here to kill Ye Changsheng?”

The moment he heard that Ye Mo wanted to kill Ye Changsheng, Xiao Yuanshan immediately tried to stop Ye Mo. “Ye Mo, are you crazy? That Ye Changsheng already has one foot inside the True Energy Realm. Furthermore, he became the league chief elect and is held in high regard by Xuan Ji. Even if you are strong enough to defeat him, you won’t be able to escape if you kill him.”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Xiao, everything will be fine. That Ye Changsheng is nothing but a hollow shell. We’ll let him have his moment for now. Let’s go to the banquet together. I will let him know that it is not so easy to take away someone else’s honour and glory,” Ye Mo said coldly.

“Ye Mo, are you really confident of doing this?” Madame Xiao asked, confused.

Seeing that those two remained unconvinced, Ye Mo started to explain, “Madame Xiao, I promised Yue Yue to take good care of the Xiao Family. Would I be openly attending the banquet if I wasn’t confident about it? To tell you two the truth, do you know why Master Xuan Ji handpicked Ye Changsheng? It is because Xuan Ji used to be in love with my father and thought that Ye Changsheng was me. Now that Master Xuan Ji has discovered the truth, everything that he owns now will become mine. Even if I g kill him myself, there will not be an issue.”

“You’re saying that the reason why League Chief Xuan Ji handpicked Ye Changsheng is because she mistook him for you? She must be blind!” Lady Xiao berated.

“That’s how auntie is like, so don’t put the blame on her. Had she not got the wrong person, perhaps my training would not have been able to reach such heights. Now that I have advanced to the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, I’m afraid even Uncle Xiao may no longer be able to best me.” Ye Mo smiled.

“Energy Shaping Ninth Realm?”

Their eyes widened. It was only at that moment that they realized that Ye Mo was truly in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm.

Ye Mo once defeated Man Qi, who was in the Energy Shaping First Realm, using powers of the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm. Challenging above his own realm tier was, for Ye Mo, no longer something that was strange.

“Haha, a good son-in-law indeed! I am so grateful to see you achieve so much. I only hope for you to bring back Yue Yue earlier.”

Xiao Yuanshan patted Ye Mo on his shoulder. He was increasingly proud of the man before his eyes.

“City master, the Ye Clan banquet is about to begin. Are we going?” One of the Xiao Family disciples outside the conference hall reminded him.

“We’re going. Why wouldn’t we be going? Let’s go there with our heads held high. We’re even going to give him a mystery gift as well.”
