Ye Di slowly inched towards Ye Mo while Ye Kuang, Ye Xiao, and Ye Zhantian all stood still. Because Ye Mo had killed Ye Ming, the only thing that could appease Ye Di was Ye Mo’s death.

At first, Ye Mo was praying for Ye Zhantian to stand up for him, but now he finally understood that there was no one in Ye Clan he could depend on.

“You want to kill me? It won’t be easy!” Ye Mo said, making a grasping motion with his right hand. With that, the Formation-Breaking Spear fell into Ye Mo’s hands, as if it was an intelligent being.

“How is this possible? Ye Mo hasn’t reached the Energy Shaping Realm yet. How could he interact with physical objects without touching them?”

“Ye Mo and the spear have reached a state of unification. The spear can perceive his emotions, and thus flew into his hand of its own accord.”

“Chieftain, as of now, Ye Mo has demonstrated such power and potential. With more guidance he may even become a prodigy like young master,” said Ye Zhantian to Ye Kuang, as a desperate final attempt to save Ye Mo.

“The seeds of hatred have already been sown within Ye Mo. Even under my guidance, he will prove to be a menace to us,” Ye Kuang said plainly. The power Ye Mo demonstrated today was indeed on par with Ye Changseng.

As for Ye Changseng, he merely stood on the sidelines and stared intently at Ye Mo, his brows tightly knitted.

“You’re the first person who dares challenge a master of the Energy Shaping Realm!” Ye Di scoffed. Without moving his body, he waved his arm, and with that, a stream of flaming red Yuanli gathered into a rope and coiled itself tightly around Ye Mo. He struggled against its grasp, yet the red Yuanli rope was like steel bars and were tightly wound around him. The more he struggled, the tighter it got.

Ye Mo frowned. The Rising Dragon Pillar vibrated once more, forming a huge black vortex. A strong force of attraction exploded out of his Energy Center, causing the ropes that were entangled around his body to slowly vanish.

The Rising Dragon Pillar could absorb Yuanli and it could absorb Evil Energy. Naturally it could absorb this Yuanli too.

Feeling the restriction from the Yuanli rope gradually subside, Ye Mo’s whole body shuddered. The red Yuanli dissipated into a cloud of mist.

When Ye Kuang and the rest of the onlookers saw this scene, the expression on their faces betrayed their utter disbelief. This technique was wielded by a martial artist of the Energy Shaping Realm. Someone in the Spirit Cultivating Realm would not even stand a chance against it. So how did Ye Mo manage to deflect it?

“This boy has extraordinary skill. He must not remain here,” Ye Di thought, as he gathered Yuanli in his palm. A burning red sword materialized. He aimed at Ye Mo and went straight for the kill.

“Ye Mo must not die!” Elder Yin hurriedly rushed towards the crowd and only wiped the cold sweat off his brow when he saw that Ye Mo was unscathed.

Seeing Elder Yin rush to his defense, Ye Mo breathed a sigh of relief. With Elder Yin’s arrival, his imminent death was temporarily halted. He could only hope for Qi Ying’s appearance, as she had connections to an expert in the True Energy Realm.

Her arrival would be the key to his survival.

Once he was strong enough, he swore to come back and soak the heartless Ye Clan in a bloodbath.

“Elder Yin, Ye Mo killed my son. I must kill him in order to avenge my son.” Ye Di’s tone held a note of respect. Now that Elder Yin was a Phase Three Alchemist, not even Ye Kuang dared to cross him.

“Ye Di, can you possibly spare Ye Mo on my behalf?” Elder Yin asked plainly.

“Elder Yin, Ye Mo killed my son. I will not let him go no matter what,” Ye Di answered without hesitation.

Although Elder Yin had a prestigious position, he had no power over the affairs of the Ye Clan. As Ye Mo had killed Ye Di’s son, not seeking revenge was out of the question.

Elder Yin shook his head in resignation and said to Ye Kuang, “Chieftan, I wish to use my status as a Phase Three Alchemist in exchange for Ye Mo’s life. May I?”

A Phase Three Alchemist defending Ye Mo’s life. Why would Elder Yin make such a sacrifice? Could it be that Ye Mo was indeed an alchemist genius, attracting Elder Yin’s favor? Ye Kuang could not make sense of it, and neither could Ye Zhantian, Ye Kuang, Ye Xiao, nor Ye Changsheng.

The disciples around them were also in disbelief. What made Ye Mo so special that Elder Yin would use the authority of his Phase Three Alchemist status to save him?

“Elder Yin, I’m afraid you don’t understand. Ye Mo killed Ye Ming, and even if I wished to spare him, there would inevitably be resentment from others in the clan,” Ye Kuang said apologetically.

“Elder brother, didn’t you buy a seal talisman at the auction? Sealing Ye Mo’s Energy Center is also a form of punishment. Brother, what do you think?” Ye Xiao, the Head of Legal Division, asked.

Sealing Ye Mo’s Energy Center could not only prevent Ye Mo from training ever again, it could also gain Elder Yin respect.

Sealing a martial artist’s Energy Center was the harshest punishment one could receive. In this world, an individual’s aptitude was more important than his life, and without any powers, they were better off dead.

“Fine. Only because Elder Yin requested it, Ye Mo’s life shall be spared. However, his Energy Center must be sealed, ensuring that he can no longer cause any more trouble.”

Ye Di did not dare to disrespect Elder Yin and quickly nodded his head in agreement.

“Haha. Sealing my Energy Center, aren’t you a merciful bunch?” Ye Mo let out a hysterical laugh. His father died from this seal, and once the Energy Center was destroyed, any attempt to manipulate Yuanli flow would result in the eruption of a Yuanli beast from the seal. It would destroy the Energy Center, and once it shattered, it might as well be a death sentence.

“Hmph. Ye Mo, only because Elder Yin so kindly asked us to spare your life, did you manage to keep your life. You should treasure it,” Ye Kuang said, a seal suddenly materializing in his hand. The piece of paper was about two inches long with complicated runes etched onto it in black ink. Ye Kuang suddenly appeared before Ye Mo, and under Ye Mo’s terrified gaze, Ye Kuang slammed the seal directly onto Ye Mo’s Energy Center.

Wham!

“Oof!” Ye Mo spat out a mouthful of blood. The seal was imprinted on his Energy Center. The dark runes travelled along Ye Mo’s stomach and penetrated his Energy Center. The runes quickly formed a dark Yuan seed suspended within the Energy Center. Whenever energy was manipulated within the Energy Center, and Yuan Chi was absorbed, the Yuan seed would quickly transform into a Yuanli Beast.

“Ye Mo, you injured multitudes of disciples, and you even killed Ye Ming. Although you are exempt from the death penalty, you cannot escape from your punishment. We will evict you from Ye Clan,” said Ye Kuang.

The sealing of his Energy Center completely destroyed any of his hopes of training. Unless a highly skilled Sealing Artist intervened, Ye Mo could only live life as a civilian.

Holding his stomach tightly, Ye Mo stared intently at every person in the vicinity, burning each and every person into his memory. The Formation-Breaking Spear buzzed angrily, as if it could feel its owner’s fury.

“This spear is a Magic Weapon at the very least. Ye Hou, since you recently acquired a manual on spears, this is now yours.”

Ye Di gestured for the spear towards himself, and with that, a large Yuanli hand grasped onto the spear, bringing it to Ye Di’s hands.

“A good weapon!”

“Ye Hou, catch!”

Ye Di threw the spear towards Ye Hou, and Ye Hou leapt into the air, catching the spear in his hand. However, it was as if the spear had a mind of its own, as it shot out of Ye Di’s hand and landed next to Ye Mo once more, the impact causing Ye Di’s hand to go numb.

“Haha, what a piece of trash. You can’t even wield my weapon, and people call you a genius.” Ye Mo laughed hysterically.
