“Killing a Six Dao Palace disciple?” Ye Mo objected. “We were all after the Mountain and River Diagram. They wanted to kill me over the diagram, but failed because they were too weak, and I ended up killing them instead. If they had ended up killing me, would they be being punished right now? This matter’s already been discussed by the higher-ups and they concluded there was nothing to report. You all dare to bring up this old issue – how much respect do you have for the higher-ups of the Door of Desolation? As for killing more than ten Saints, I did no such thing. I’m only a fighter in the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm, how am I supposed to defeat a Half Profound Realm fighter? Even if I was a genius, I still wouldn’t be able to do it. Go ask the Young Master of the Door of Desolation and see if he’s capable of doing such a thing.”

Ye Mo continued eloquently. “You people chose the perfect time to abduct me – right when my Master has decided to become a recluse and focus on her training. Are you scared of her? Undoubtedly so – my Master is in the Profound Heaven Realm, and carries the Blood Energy Devil Blade. She could split a fighter in the Profound Heaven Realm in half.

“And Chu Tian, you’re not a member of the Punishment Hall. What right do you have to read me my sentence? You’re overstepping. According to the rules of the Punishment Hall, all nine groups of your relatives and families will have to be killed.”

“The nerve,” an elder of the Punishment Hall said coldly. “You still dare to behave so wildly? Ye Mo, you don’t have to act confident and tough in front of us. Be honest and admit your crimes. Your kingdom is still a high-tier kingdom, and will still have three participant slots to enter the Door of Desolation examination.”

“That’s right,” the third elder chimed in. “The Punishment Hall can still reduce your punishment. As long as you hand over the Mountain and River Diagram and complete 10,000 missions for the Door of Desolation within the next 10 years, your death sentence will be rescinded. Hand over that weapon in your hand as well and your punishment will be completely rescinded.”

“Looks like no one knows that my Mountain and River Diagram has been lost.” Ye Mo could barely hold in his laughter. This wasn’t a Punishment Hall – all they were after was the Mountain and River Diagram.

“You’re just after my Mountain and River Diagram?” Ye Mo smiled. “It is indeed with me. But you’ll never get ahold of it. Just now, I used a special seal to record our whole conversation. I’ll hand it over to Elder Tao Tie and see whether you all are still after the Mountain and River Diagram”

“What did you say? You recorded our conversation?” Li Minghuang was shocked. “Ye Mo, do you think you’ll be able to get out of the Punishment Hall? If you refuse to hand it over, there’s nothing we can do to you. But, right now, I can interrogate your woman. I wonder how stable is the status of the Empress of the Tianwu Kingdom? Would you like me to bring her here to persuade you to hand over the diagram?”

“Haha, who would’ve thought that the Punishment Hall is like this, forcing the innocent to plead guilty. So be it. If that’s the case, I’m done playing with all of you.”

Ye Mo instantly disappeared on the spot. Even the three Profound World Realm fighters couldn’t detect how Ye Mo managed to vanish.

“That Ye Mo dares escape from the Punishment Hall. Hurry and chase after him – no need to send him to prison, kill him, straightaway!” The Punishment Hall Elder ordered as all of the Punishment Hall Saints burst out, contacting the other Saints using seals to capture Ye Mo.

Seeing that Ye Mo had escaped, Chu Tian smiled once again. He said, “You actually managed to last till the second stage. Lady Little Can’s plan is perfect. Next up, let’s see how you manage to endure stage three.”

Ye Mo knew from the start that entering the Punishment Hall wouldn’t end up well. The so-called Punishment Hall was a crowd of thieves – their shame knew no bounds.

Had he not escaped, he might not have the chance to do so later. This was when he realized that the reason why Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber was so anxious about handing him the Bodhi Fruit and the Shapeshifting Illusion – she wanted to close herself off once again to make another breakthrough.

Whoosh!

A ray of shooting glow flashed by. Ye Mo didn’t intend to leave the Desolate Mountain. Instead, he headed toward the Mixed Energy World. At this point, only Elder Tao Tie could save him.

“Halt, now!”

Ye Mo stopped at the gigantic entrance of the Mixed Energy World. The two giants guarding the door blocked Ye Mo’s path.

“The nerve of you, Ye Mo. Halt quickly.” The Giant Guard drew out his weapon. “You’re already being pursued by the Punishment Hall. You cannot come to the Mixed Energy World.”

“I have matters to attend to in the Mixed Energy World,” Ye Mo said coldly. “I ask you two to not get in my way.”

“Outrageous. You’re already a wanted man, and you still want to enter the Mixed Energy World.”

With a swipe of his palm, the Giant Guard stirred up a pillar-like tornado and sent it at Ye Mo.

“You dare to take me on with this level of strength?”

Ye Mo glared at them. Knowing that the two of them worked for the First Heaven Society, a moment of killing instinct flashed by as the tornado disappeared into non-existence the moment it reached Ye Mo’s body.

Following that, he reached out with one hand, sucking the two of them in his direction with a strong force. Then he unleashed a strong amount of repelling power. When the two contrasting powers engaged, the two Giant Guards both spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“How is this possible? How can a Third Tier fighter be this strong?”

Their hearts were filled with fear. Ye Mo didn’t defeat them – he demolished them.

“My apologies.”

Ye Mo charged past them into the Mixed Energy World.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Dozens of shadows landed. Their leader was the leader of the Punishment Hall, Zhang Tianxing. Seeing the two Giant Guards on the ground, he asked, “What happened?”

“Ye Mo has intruded into the Mixed Energy World,” one of the Giant Guards said.

“What is he doing in the Mixed Energy World? Is he looking for the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber? She’s long gone from the Mixed Energy World.” Zhang Tianxing’s eyes widened as he realized what Ye Mo was after. “He’s looking for Elder Tao Tie! After him!”

Elder Tao Tie was a neutral elder. Due to his pedigree and strength, even the Young Master had to show him some respect. He was also extremely just – he always stood on the side of logic and not personal connections. If Ye Mo really had a record of their conversation, the Punishment Hall would be in trouble.

“Hurry and stop Ye Mo. Notify the trainee disciples of the Mixed Energy World. We have to stop Ye Mo at all costs.” Zhang Tianxing’s facial expression looked extremely dire. He went straight into the Mixed Energy World.

The moment he entered the Mixed Energy World, Ye Mo started flying towards the Tao Tie Pavilion. It was imperative for him to reach it as quickly as possible and hand the seal over to Elder Tao Tie.

“Stop right there!” a stern voice yelled as a few Half Profound Realm Saints stopped Ye Mo in his tracks.

“Ye Mo, this is the Mixed Energy World,” one of the Saints said. “What are you doing here?”

They were people of the First Heaven Society, and they were there to stop Ye Mo from making his way to the Tao Tie Pavilion.

“I’m here to find my Master, of course,” Ye Mo replied calmly.

“Find your Master? The residence of the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber is not in this direction.”

“My Master is currently negotiating an important issue with Elder Tao Tie,” Ye Mo lied. “She’s looking for me. If you delay my Master, a hundred lives wouldn’t be enough to repay your debt.”

Ye Mo finished speaking and raced out, dashing forward.

The two Half Profound Realm Saints who tried to stop Ye Mo were sent flying by a huge amount of force, completely unable to stop him.
