The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 654: Negotiations With Xue Can

Night fell and the moon climbed high in the sky:

Ye Mo was lying down on the roof of the Fragrance Pavilion. With a straw in his mouth, he looked up at the moon.

“Brother Ye Mo, I detect some movement!”

While Ling’er was powerless, her spiritual powers remained extremely strong. She had become Ye Mo’s radar test kit, helping him keep a lookout for Li Huo and Nian Bing.

“Where are they?” Ye Mo spat out the straw in his mouth. Crouching above the roof, he glanced around.

His pupils dilated.

A shadow flashed by. Wearing a snow-white dress with a weak and petite body and face, it was almost as if she was ill. But her eyes were filled with sinister and evil vibes.

She slowly walked towards a group of people below him, looking like a dainty flower.

It was the Profound Silkworm Poison Curse Body – Xue Can!

“That’s her? I’m going to kill her!” Ye Mo grabbed his Sky Blood Spear and prepared to rush down.

Fighting her one-on-one, it would be extremely easy to kill her.

But Nian Bing and Li Huo were behind her.

The three of them entered the Fragrance Pavilion. Ye Mo locked his gaze onto the room where the three of them were. Carefully lifting up a tile on the roof, he looked down at what was going on inside. He wanted to see what those three were up to.

“Li Huo, Nian Bing, I know that you’re part of the four main generals, and are both talents that the Master values extremely highly,” Xue Can said softly. “But you’re both incompetent. Not only did you two not kill Ye Mo, you allowed him to rise to the position of a Saint.”

Xue Can’s voice was extremely weak, but no one dared to be complacent.

“Little Can, don’t try to intimidate us,” Li Huo muttered. “We work for the Young Master. While we’ve failed this time, we’ll ask for his forgiveness when he returns. If you found us just to talk down to us, I don’t think we’re interested in continuing this conversation.”

Looking at the Lady Master-to-be before their eyes, they hardly respected her. After all, they were only loyal to the Master.

“I’ve already killed Ye Mo,” Xue Can said. “And I retrieved the Mountain and River Diagram, too.”

Xue Can smiled slightly as she looked at Li Huo and Nian Bing’s shocked expressions

“What? What did you say? You killed Ye Mo? You got the Mountain Lake Painting? How is this possible?”

“Killing someone doesn’t always take strength. No one has ever survived being hit with my Profound Silkworm Poison Curse.” Xue Can smiled slightly. “If you two can help me, I’ll give you partial credit for it, too. That way, the Master won’t blame you for being incompetent. He might even reward you. Reaching the Profound World Realm will be a matter of when, not if, for you two.”

“Yes!” Li Huo and Nian Bing exchanged a glance. In an instant, the two of them stood up and held their hands together toward Xue Can as they said, “Lady Xue Can, we will help you rise to the position of Lady Master.”

“It looked like you two are pretty sharp. Elder Xuan Ming has been helping me increase my strength. I’ll be able to enter the Desolate Mountain soon. When that happens, my rival will be Xiao Yue. You two have to think of ways to help me find out Xiao Yue’s identity. Only by knowing your enemy will you be able to defeat them.”

“No problem,” Nian Bing nodded. “The First Heaven Society has an extremely strong network. It’s easy for us to investigate anyone’s identity and background.”

Hearing that, Ye Mo’s eyes sparkled. Not only did Xue Can hurt him, she wanted to target Yue Yue, too. She couldn’t be allowed to live.

“Looks like Xiao Yue’s status has threatened her,” Ling’er said. “That’s why she wants to remove her. This woman is full of schemes.”

“I won’t let her survive tonight.” Ye Mo tried his best to control his own aura. But his heart was pounding with killing intent. He was acting on his own accord – he had to kill Xue Can first. She was too dangerous.

Furthermore, the moment Xiao Can was dead, the Young Master’s plan would be destroyed as well. It would be difficult for his Ancient Poison Curse Power to work perfectly without her.

Killing Xiao Can was far more important than killing Li Huo and Nian Bing.

“Alright. I should return to the First Heaven Society.” Xiao Can stood up. “You two, walk me out!”

“Yes, ma’am!” Li Huo and Nian Bing both stood up and guarded Xue Can.

“This girl is cautious – it’ll be significantly more difficult to kill her like this!” Ye Mo’s trembled trembled. Retracting his gaze, he jumped down from the rooftop of the pavilion. Landing on the ground, his whole body was hidden behind the gigantic lion statue in front of the Fragrance Pavilion.

“Hmm? Why is she not out yet?” Ye Mo was befuddled!

“Oh no, she left from the backdoor,” Ling’er said. She had detected Xue Can’s presence.

Hearing that, Ye Mo leaped upwards, once again laying on the roof. Upon seeing Xue Can’s silhouette, the Sky Blood Spear in his hand formed a huge light blade that shot right towards her!

“Ah!” Xue Can opened her eyes wide. Seeing Ye Mo’s attack, she didn’t react in time, “You’re not dead!”

“Despicable woman, die!”

Xue Can’s eyes widened as the attack went right through her chest. Ye Mo sensed that something was not right.

It was a clone!

“Li Huo, Nian Bing, kill him!” Xue Can screamed. “Ye Mo is somehow still alive!”

Xue Can let out a breath that turned into a huge cloud of poison mist.

Ye Mo took a few steps back, distancing himself away from the poison mist. As the mist spread, the passers-by that were affected by it were instantly killed.

“Ye Mo? It’s him? Let’s attack together and kill him!”

Returning to their senses at the same time, Li Huo and Nian Bing both drew their weapons, combining ice and fire as they charged toward Ye Mo.

“Hmph!”

Looking at the two of them, Ye Mo expanded his Caged Dragon Wings and flew towards the Desolate City, with the two of them pursuing close behind. With such a good chance falling in their lap, there was no way that they’d let Ye Mo escape. Without a moment’s hesitation, they charged after him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Under the night sky, three shadows – one black, one red and one blue – chased one another through the air.

“Ye Mo, do you really think you can escape from us?” Li Huo mocked as he increased his speed, blocking off Ye Mo’s path. With one in the front and one behind, Ye Mo was sandwiched in mid-air.

In fact, with Ye Mo’s speed, he could have left the two of them in the dust if he really wanted to escape. Ye Mo was slowing down on purpose.

“Li Huo, Nian Bing, are you two not satisfied with the result of the Saint Elect Tournament? Now, I’ll give both of you a chance to get back at me. I won’t be using any seals. Both of you can attack me together.”

Hearing Ye Mo utter the word “seal” was enough to infuriate both of them.
