Ye Mo successfully tracked down the injured Fire Sky Venerate and, using the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet's gravitational force, caught up to him. After a brief struggle, Ye Mo pierced Fire Sky Venerate with his spear and extracted his soul body, destroying it with the Undying Life-and-Death Flame. He then reversed time in the area to conceal his actions before leaving. Shortly after, Bai Tianzun and Hei Tianzun arrived, finding Fire Sky Venerate dead and realizing Ye Mo had distorted time to prevent his detection.

As Ye Mo journeyed toward the Dan Clan, his attention turned to the Sumeru ring previously belonging to Fire Sky Venerate. The prospect of the treasures within the ring of a Divine Venerate Eight Souls expert ignited a thrill within him.

"This old man's hoard is truly astonishing!"

A closer examination revealed an almost unbelievable wealth of resources. Fifty thousand Divine Venerate Pills were present, alongside over thirty thousand Ascending Soul Pills. Furthermore, a multitude of other pills and several manuals detailing soul techniques were discovered.

"Thousand Poison Hands!"

"Piercing Cloud Soul-Grabbing Arrow!"

"These soul techniques are all advanced, far surpassing the Soul Devil Thunder I've been cultivating. It's a shame that fellow didn't employ them against me; otherwise, defeating him might have proven more challenging."

Upon his return to the Dan Clan, Ye Mo instantly became the focal point of all eyes.

"Ye Mo has returned!"

"Indeed, I wonder what the outcome of his endeavor was."

Ye Mo observed the elders of the Dan Clan, their bodies trembling and their breathing shallow, too intimidated to speak.

"All disciples who participated may now depart. Act as if you know nothing, understood?"

Ye Mo commanded with a cold demeanor.

"Yes, yes!"

The disciples who had joined in the event quickly dispersed from the Dan Clan grounds.

"People of the Dan Clan, now that the Pill Saint is deceased, I harbor no further ill will toward you. Fire Sky Venerate has met his end at my hands. His presence here would have likely alerted the Dead Soul Royal Family within a day or two. Should they discover my involvement, considerable trouble will ensue."

Before Ye Mo could elaborate, the Dan Clan Leader grasped his meaning, knelt before him, and declared, "Our Dan Clan wishes to pledge allegiance to the heir of the Wraith Demon Emperor, seeking your protection."

"Are you submitting to me with sincerity?"

Ye Mo inquired, his tone sharp.

"Our Dan Clan is indeed weak; while we possess alchemy skills, they pale in comparison to yours. Moreover, we have incurred the wrath of the Dead Soul Royal Family and cannot survive independently in the Wraith Land. Only by aligning with you can we secure our existence here."

Dan Baicao stated earnestly.

It was understood that the Dead Soul Royal Family would eventually investigate this location, leaving the Dan Clan with no recourse but to seek an alliance with Ye Mo for survival.

"Very well."

Ye Mo nodded and approached Long Wanli directly, saying, "My master often spoke of you. Though he is temporarily unable to reveal himself, he intends to reclaim the leadership of the Wraith Clan and requires your assistance."

"The Wraith Demon Emperor was our sworn brother. As you are his successor, we naturally offer our obedience."

Long Wanli responded.

"Respected elders, you are too kind. I am but a junior. I implore you to secretly forge alliances with some of Master's old comrades and consolidate our strength. We shall maintain contact, and when conflict inevitably arises, I will inform you. At that time, the Wraith Demon Emperor himself will also make his presence known."

Ye Mo conveyed with a respectful hand gesture.

"Excellent! It has been far too long since we have felt such purpose. We will discreetly reach out to some of the Wraith Demon Emperor's former allies, but convincing them may prove difficult. Those who live perpetually on the brink only trust the Wraith Demon Emperor, and without definitive proof, their belief may waver."

Nalan Xie of the Dark Palace commented.

"That matter is easily resolved."

Several jade scrolls materialized in Ye Mo's hand, which he then presented to Long Wanli and the others, explaining, "These jade scrolls contain messages directly from the Wraith Demon Emperor."

"Splendid!"

Long Wanli exclaimed, his excitement palpable, a feeling he hadn't experienced in ages. Finally, he could commit himself fully.

"If that is the case, let us proceed separately. Ensure your discretion; if this endeavor succeeds, all involved will be privy to boundless resources."

With these words, Ye Mo turned to Yang Rong and asked, "I am returning to the Wraith Clan now. Will you accompany me, or shall you remain here?"

Ye Mo concluded his question by observing the dragon scales.

Yang Rong, noticing the dragon scales and Ye Mo's slightly displeased expression, smiled and replied, "I will remain with the dragon scales to assist in managing affairs here. As for my father, I shall rely on you to convey my regards."

"Understood."

Ye Mo departed without further delay, having already lingered too long and needing to hasten back to the Tantai Family to tend to Dantai Qingyi's condition.

Departing the Dan Clan, Ye Mo ascended into a streak of light, accelerating towards the Wraith Clan. The recent defeat of two Divine Venerate Eight Souls experts had provided Ye Mo with a profound new appreciation for his own capabilities, particularly in his refined control over the Ancient Yin-Yang Magnet.

Provided he did not face a standard expert of the Nine Souls Divine Venerate level, Ye Mo possessed the capability to contend, particularly with the three thousand Ascending Soul Pills acquired from Fire Sky Venerate’s Sumeru ring. His soul cultivation could reach the Eighth Layer of the Soul Realm, empowering him to wield the Undying Life-and-Death Flame to instantly dispatch martial artists at the Eighth Layer of the Soul Realm, barring any who possessed a Soul Defense Immortal Artifact.

While traversing the skies, Ye Mo meticulously masked his aura. His immediate objective was to secure the title of Great Celestial Son, acquire the Netherworld Fan Flame, and subsequently confront Xue Wudi in battle.

This impending duel would serve to demonstrate to Xue Wudi the essence of a true prodigy.

After a full day of travel, Ye Mo rejoined the Wraith Clan, making his way directly to the Tantai Family. Without engaging the guards, he materialized within Dantai Qingyi’s chambers.

At this moment, only Dantai Qingyi’s mother was present, attending to him. Upon Ye Mo’s sudden appearance, she hastily rose, beginning to stammer, "Ye Mo, I-I apologize for my previous actions."

"There is no need for an apology. In the future, please care for Senior Sister Zang Lian well. I have already secured the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill."

With these words, Ye Mo approached the ailing Dantai Qingyi, administering the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill and commencing the use of his spiritual energy to assess Dantai Qingyi’s condition.

"Ye Mo, how is Qingyi now?" the elegant woman inquired with palpable anxiety.

"There should be no lasting issues. By all logical expectations, he ought to awaken shortly," Ye Mo stated with composure.

The lovely woman nodded, her gaze fixed on the recuperating Dantai Qingyi, only to perceive a subtle movement of his lips.

"Qingyi, Qingyi!" the beautiful woman exclaimed with evident excitement.

On the bed, Dantai Qingyi’s eyebrows fluttered slightly before his eyes slowly opened, and he uttered, "Mother."

"Qingyi, you are well. You are finally well," the beautiful woman declared, embracing Dantai Qingyi as tears streamed down her face without restraint.

Witnessing this tender reunion, Ye Mo felt a profound emotion stir within him, evoking memories of when he rescued Li Mengli. His expression hardened with resolve; he was determined to find the Divine Soul Fruit to heal Li Mengli, no matter the cost.

"Benefactor, I have something to impart to you!" Just as Ye Mo prepared to depart the room, Dantai Qingyi suddenly addressed him.
