The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1421 - 1422: The Yang Family Clan in Trouble
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
"Junior Brother Ye Xiao, is the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill truly capable of healing Taishi Qing?"
Zang Lian inquired.
"Indeed, it can. However, the Wraith Clan likely lacks the Heavenly Snare Resurrection Pill, and even the necessary ingredients to concoct the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill. To procure it, we must journey to Dan City."
Ye Mo responded nonchalantly.
"Dan City?"
Zang Lian nodded; she was quite familiar with Dan City.
"As for the concoction process, I can undertake that responsibility."
Ye Mo stated.
"Very well, then I shall depart for Dan City at once to procure the materials for the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill."
As Zang Lian spoke, she prepared to leave but then paused, adding, "Senior Sister Zang Lian, allow me to make the trip instead. My current strength surpasses yours, and if I travel without rest, the round trip will take no more than three days. Furthermore, I have numerous acquaintances in Dan City, which will facilitate the acquisition of materials. You should remain here and attend to him."
"Junior Brother Ye Xiao, I shall then entrust this task to you."
Zang Lian uttered, wasting no extra words. Her concise statement was sufficient to convey their bond; elaborate gratitude felt unnecessary and overly sentimental.
"Understood!"
Ye Mo nodded, casting a glance at the beautiful woman. Observing her slightly flustered expression, he gently waved his hand, releasing the spatial force that had bound her, and then vanished from the chamber.
"Zang Lian, who precisely is this Ye Xiao?"
The beautiful woman inquired once more, but this time, her tone was considerably softer.
"Aunt Lan, fortunately, Ye Mo is not one to dwell on trivialities. He is the adopted son of Elder Mengxin. The very reason Elder Mengxin accepted me as a disciple is because of him."
Zang Lian replied.
"What? Elder Mengxin’s adopted son?"
The beautiful woman was visibly taken aback.
"You might have assumed Junior Brother Ye Xiao harbors feelings for me, but you are quite mistaken. Putting aside the fact that Taishi Qing already occupies my heart, even if he didn't, I can perceive his utter lack of interest in me. From the very first moment we met, the way he regarded me was certainly not one of admiration."
Zang Lian stated.
"Perhaps he is merely feigning, attempting to capture your attention?"
The beautiful woman suggested, her gaze drifting as she posed the question.
"Do you truly believe a formidable cultivator at the Divine Venerate Eight Souls level would resort to such tactics to gain my notice? It's more probable that he has long held someone else in his heart."
The beautiful woman was left utterly astounded. She had, moments ago, physically restrained someone of the Divine Venerate Eight Souls level. Individuals of this caliber are scarce, even within the Wraith Clan, and to find one as young as Ye Xiao was simply unfathomable.
If she had previously held the conviction that Ye Xiao was beneath Zang Lian, her perspective immediately underwent a radical shift; in truth, Zang Lian was not worthy of Ye Xiao.
Such a young and powerful prodigy, his future was undeniably boundless.
Meanwhile, the Ye Mo they were discussing was already en route to Dan City, his form transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards his destination.
"Wraith Demon Emperor, what is your objective in dispatching me on this errand personally?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but question. While undertaking this task himself was acceptable, having someone else do it would have yielded the same result. He was aware that a three-day journey in the outside world equated to nearly a month within the second layer of the Genius Space.
He was now in a race against time, unwilling to squander even a single moment. If he could aid Wang Qianmo in unifying the Wraith Clan, he could hasten his return to the Lingwu Continent to reunite with his family and loved ones.
"The Yang family of Dan City, I trust you can represent the Wraith Clan in persuading them to join our cause. In the inevitable conflict between the Wraith Clan and the Dead Soul Clan, their allegiance will undoubtedly prove beneficial. Furthermore, you must act on my behalf to traverse Wraith Land, rally my former comrades, and ensure they remain prepared at a moment’s notice. This time, we face not only the Dead Soul Royal Family but also Wang Mo Luo."
The Wraith Demon Emperor elaborated.
Having roamed the continent for such an extended period and having eliminated numerous foes, the Wraith Demon Emperor had naturally cultivated a wide network of acquaintances. Ye Mo, for instance, though not yet a continent-roaming expert, possessed connections within the Lingwu Continent.
"Understood, it appears you have all contingencies meticulously planned."
Ye Mo nodded, accelerating his pace once more. In slightly over a day’s travel, he had already passed the Great Wilderness.
Upon reaching this region, Ye Mo felt an intrinsic sense of familiarity. After another half-day’s flight, he was on the cusp of arriving in Dan City, picking up speed to fly directly into the city.
Dan City, the Yang Mansion!
Within the grand square before the Yang Mansion, numerous disciples of the Yang family rushed out, their countenances grave as they fixed their gaze upon the individual before them. Particularly Yang Zu Yang Xiao and Yang Rong, their brows deeply furrowed, as the very scenario they had desperately sought to avoid had finally materialized.
Members of the Dead Soul Royal Family had made their arrival.
The imposing aura exuded by the elder in gold robes was incredibly potent, undeniably marking him as a high-ranking figure within the Dead Soul Royal Family.
Yet, smiles greeted their arrival; the presence of the Dead Soul Royal Family was considered a significant honor for any family.
"Who is the person in charge of the Yang family?" Jin Tianzun inquired, his hands clasped behind his back, projecting an air of absolute superiority.
"I am Yang Zu, the patriarch of the Yang family!" Yang Zu stepped forward, offering a respectful bow with a smile.
"Yang Zu, I am Jin Tianzun, one of the four Elders serving the Soul Master. My purpose here today, by the Soul Master's command, is to recruit your Yang family. From this day forth, you shall be an affiliated family of the Dead Soul Royal Family. You have seven days to gather all family members and present yourselves at the Holy Mountain." As Jin Tianzun spoke, a golden medal materialized in his palm, which he then tossed to Yang Zu. "Accept this, and it will grant you unrestricted passage to the Holy Mountain." With the formalities concluded, he and several core disciples prepared to depart the Yang Mansion.
"Jin Tianzun, we are unable to accept this golden medal." Yang Zu's declaration was sudden, signifying their refusal to align with the Dead Soul Royal Family.
"What did you just say?" Jin Tianzun's expression hardened. He had never anticipated that a third-rate force like the Yang family would decline the invitation of the Dead Soul Royal Family. Without their unique skill in seals, the Yang family would have remained beneath their notice.
"We have already accepted an offer from the Wraith Clan." Yang Zu felt compelled to invoke the Wraith Clan's name as a shield, as no other reason would be deemed sufficient by the Dead Soul Royal Family.
"The Wraith Clan?" Upon hearing this, Jin Tianzun let out a light chuckle. "Even if the Wraith Clan has recruited you, what difference does it make? The Dead Soul Royal Family is on the verge of eradicating the entire Wraith Land. Aligning with the Wraith Clan is akin to inviting your own demise." Jin Tianzun's declaration was brazen, stating openly before the assembled crowd that the Dead Soul Royal Family would soon annihilate the Wraith Clan, thereby crushing Yang Zu's hopes. Had the Supreme Elders of the Wraith Clan been present, they would undoubtedly have been provoked into immediate combat.
"We are sorry, but we still cannot join your Dead Soul Royal Family." Recalling Ye Mo's prior counsel, Yang Zu reiterated his refusal.
Yang Zu's resolute words caused a stir, altering the expressions of nearly everyone present. Not only the elite disciples of the Dead Soul Royal Family but even the guards of the Yang Mansion were astonished, wondering why the patriarch would dare reject such a significant invitation, seemingly courting disaster.
"Repeat what you just said?" Jin Tianzun's tone grew sharper, and a formidable pressure radiated from his very being, enveloping everyone nearby. They felt an overwhelming force that threatened to steal their breath away.
