Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The appearance of the Barbarian shocked everyone in the room again. They originally thought the Barbarian was the person who had saved Ye Mo before, but it turned out he came in order to kill Ye Mo.

“Sir, you are indeed an incredible warrior!” The elder in the gray robe cupped his hands towards the Barbarian and praised politely. The strength of the barbarian far exceeded that of the elder. Even though he had not reached Heaven’s Strength Realm, his strength was still at the peak of the Heaven’s Gate Realm.

The barbarian pulled off his hat, showed a face that only the Barbarians had, and said, “The deadline of the Kill Order has passed and I, Man Tianhe, have lived through 30 days of darkness. Ye Mo, you haven’t ever thought I would risk my life to sneak into your feast, right? I came all the way here to kill you with my bare hands. If it weren’t for you, the Barbarians would not be on the blink of extinction.”

“So he is Man Tianhe, the grandmaster of the Barbarians. When you think about it, it has been 30 days since the Kill Order on the Barbarians was given. Today is exactly the day the Emperor ends the Kill Order.”

“It is over for the Xiao family. The strength of Man Tianhe is at the top of the Heaven’s Gate Realm. The Barbarians was slaughtered due to the Xiao family, but Man Tianhe escaped by chance. He is going to massacre the Xiao family. Now the feast is about to turn into a bloodbath.”

While everyone was discussing Man Tianhe’s sudden appearance, Qin Hao was secretly grinning. What happened then was exactly what he wanted.

“So you are the grandmaster of the Barbarians, Man Tianhe. I have heard of the dispute between your race and the Xiao family. If the grandmaster does intend to kill Ye Mo, the Taishi family will back down here. Ye Mo cannot escape his death tonight anyway.”

“Huh, Ye Mo has really angered so many strong figures. There is nobody in this world who can save Ye Mo now.”

Taishi Dan and Taishi Qing smirked.

“Man Tianhe, it is a surprise that you escaped the Kill Order. I understand how much you want to kill me, but to be honest, you should have thanked me instead,” Ye Mo replied without fear.

“Thanked you?” Man Tianhe was momentarily stupefied, and then he grinned. “As you are about to die anyway, I will not mind you spending a little time to explain why I should have thanked you instead.”

“Actually I had no dispute with the Barbarians in the first place. However, as Man Thai was about to rape the Empress back then, I had no choice but to kill him, resulting in the extinction of the Barbarians by the Emperor. But think about it. If I had not killed Man Thai and he had raped the Empress, the Emperor would not have only imposed the Kill Order. You would never be able to escape from the Emperor’s rage, so shouldn’t you thank me for being able to be alive and stand here safe and sound today?”

“What an eloquent punk! Asking me to thank you for massacring my people?” Man Tianhe roared and struck his finger towards Ye Mo’s head, with the power of True Energy and the speed of a thunderbolt.

The immense True Energy emitted a pressure that stunned everyone. Nobody was able to move, even Madame Xiao.

“Who dares to kill me?” Ye Mo smirked. When the True Energy was about to strike Ye Mo’s head, it suddenly vanished like fog. Everyone felt the pressure drop.

“What is going on here?”

Man Tianhe was shocked and scanned the surroundings, but he discovered nothing abnormal. Afterwards, an exploding noise sounded beside his ears. Dozens of gigantic swirls of air current appeared around Man Tianhe. The swirls blew everything around them and the air gave a bursting sound.

Crack!

Liu Qingcheng unexpectedly showed up in front of Man Tianhe and attacked with her five fingers, causing Man Tianhe to feel an extreme pain in his energy center. His True Energy became bound and static.

“You are a martial artist of the Heaven’s Strength Realm? Are you sent by the Emperor? The deadline of the Kill Order has passed, so you are not allowed to kill me anymore,” Man Tianhe said in horror. Only a martial artist of the Heaven’s Strength Realm could restrain him with ease.

“She was not sent by the Emperor, Man Tianhe. Do you think I have no idea that you have avoided the Ultimatum? The real purpose of holding the feast is to lure you out from your hiding, and Elder Liu is one of the guests I invited. It is all over for you now. As I said before, blame Man Thai for offending the Empress,” Ye Mo explained.

“What? All of this is part of your scheme?”

Without answering further, Ye Mo gave the signal to kill, then Liu Qingcheng’s skinny and dried arms spread slightly. It seemed to be weak, but it actually was a powerful attack. Man Tianhe was struck hard, causing his chest to collapse inwards and his whole gigantic body to fall on the ground.

“Man Tianhe of the Heaven’s Gate Realm died without a fight?”

After watching how everything unfolded, nobody could remain calm or silent. Some of them had never met a martial artist of the Heaven’s Gate Realm before, and the martial artist of that level was a legend to them, but such a powerful fighter soundlessly collapsed right in front of their eyes.

After completing his task, Liu Qingcheng jumped and landed behind Ye Mo, her expression displaying a strong respect towards him.

This kept people wondering what Ye Mo did which gave him a martial artist at his beck and call who could kill a Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter in an instant.

“Friends from the Taishi Family, do you think you can come and go as you wish?”

Ye Mo stared at Taishi Dan, Taishi Qing, and the elder in the grey robe, who were now attempting to secretly leave the palace. Liu Qingcheng waved his hand and formed a large True Energy Shield which covered the whole palace. The shield had streaming light glittering on its surface, indicating traces of Heaven’s strength on top of the True Energy.

After hearing what Ye Mo said, Taishi Dan, Taishi Qing, and the elder in the grey robe realized the situation was not going well for them.

“Ye Mo, what do you want? The fighter behind you is certainly great, but the Taishi family has no fear. If you kill us, the Xiao family or even the whole Limestone City will face serious consequences.” Taishi Qing showed no fear and used the might of his family to deliver threats.

“How pathetic it is to threaten others in the name of a tiny Taishi family,” Liu Qingcheng said.

The Taishi family could be considered a large family in the South Zhou, but its size and power were insignificant when compared to the City of Daughters.

“You are a man of talents, and we respect you for it. We hope both of us can take a step back and consider what happened today as an opportunity to make new friends.” The elder in grey robe did not change his expression, but his tone was not as confident as before.

“Make new friends? You attempted to kill me at the beginning, hurt Uncle Xiao afterwards, and now you want to make friends? There could not be more absurd way to make friends in this world,” Ye Mo answered in a deep voice.

“Then what do you want to do? Do you dare to kill us?” Taishi Dan sneered.

“Killing you will certainly give me trouble, but letting you go will only give me a chance to find even strong companions and seek revenge. How would you choose if you were me?” Ye Mo asked faintly.

“If you release us, I promise in the name of the Taishi family that we will never seek revenge on you,” the elder in grey robe said.

“Your promise is useless without any sincerity. Do you understand? Since I am already an enemy of the Taishi family, perhaps it is better for me to kill you all.”

The three individuals from the Taishi family gathered to discuss this matter and then came up with a decision.

Taishi Dan took a book out from his Dimensional Bracelet and said, “This book records the ultimate martial technique of the Taishi family, the Heaven’s Flaming Sword. It is the one and only martial technique belonging to the Taishi family. A strong seal was put on the book which cannot be opened by anyone except my father. Now you can keep the book as your safeguard.”

Ye Mo looked at the book, which had the markings of the flame element.

“What is the purpose of giving me the book of Heaven’s Flaming Sword?” Ye Mo questioned.

“This book records the only inherited martial technique of the Taishi family. I commit a serious crime by giving you this book, so we will not tell anyone about it. However, we can only hide for a year, because a year after that, our family will hold a grand ceremony and this book has to be submitted. By that time, we can no longer hide the truth and will have to retrieve the book from you.”

As losing a martial technique book was a serious crime, Taishi Dan, Taishi Qing, and the elder in the grey robe would not dare to tell anyone what happened today to before the clan leader of the Taishi family found out a year after. In the meantime, this book was a safeguard to Ye Mo.

This also meant that the truce between the Xiao family and the Taishi family would only last for a year.

No matter Ye Mo decided to kill or release them, the outcome would be a devastating conflict between the two families. For now, accepting the book was the best solution.
