The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 738: Castellan Level

Ye Mo didn’t spot Fan Yi. He was bored out of his mind. It was Ling’er, who was playing with Xiao Jing, who spotted Fan Yi. That was why he came chasing after him. Not only did he block Fan Yi’s path to escape, but he also met Yao Yue.

The two of them saw each other, and, as one, turned their icy cold stares on Fan Yi.

Fan Yi looked back at them in terror. He would never have expected that he’d be caught in a situation like this.

Before, it was him alone pressuring Ye Mo and Yao Yue. Now, they stopped him in his tracks; he couldn’t beat either one of them alone. This stark difference was difficult to accept.

“Fan Yi, do you still want the Devil Refining Gourd?” Ye Mo smiled mockingly, “I’m guessing that you were coming to kill me? After seeing that I was in the midst of a battle with the Six Arm Thousand Eye Beast and realizing that I’ve had a gigantic boost in strength, you decided to leave, yes? Little did you expect to bump into Little Yao. You nearly killed both of us. So, tell me, how should I kill you? Do you want to have your limbs chopped off and your body thrown to the Six Arm Thousand Eye Beast, or should I just kill you right now?”

“No, don’t kill me,” Fan Yi said in fear. “Ye Mo, Yao Yue, I was a fool before. Please, don’t kill me.”

“Do you think that that’s possible? You’re as old as the Sky Blood Lady – do you really not know the rules of survival in this land?”

Removing his Transcendence Golden Body, he unleashed the Zhu Deity Domain, enshrouding Fan Yi.

Fan Yi felt the pressure from all directions, the power was incomparably larger than before. Encompassed by the domain, he was trapped. Any attempts at escaping were laughable.

“No, no I know the rules. I have intel, intel that will be useful for both of you.” Fan Yi calmed down. All he had now was foresight. Being someone from the same era as the Sky Blood Lady and spending so much time surviving in the Zone of Chaos, what kind of big figures had he not seen? What kind of strong fighters did he not know about?

When the two didn’t reply, Fan Yi continued. “The two of you are extremely strong, and there are no longer any competitors for you left in the tenth district. But, compared to the real fighters in the Zone of Chaos, you two are still far off their strength. There are countless numbers of elite fighters in this place, but there are also plenty of top, top fighters. These people have the ability to kill off fighters in the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm in a matter of seconds. If you two end up meeting them, you might as well just hand your Demon Crystals over at once.”

“Oh? So what? Do you think I’m afraid of them?” Ye Mo said, ready to strike with the Sky Blood Spear and kill Fan Yi. But Yao Yue cut him off.

“Ye Mo, wait for a moment,” she said. “Let him continue.”

Even though she was a castellan, the number of truly huge figures was extremely limited. It was definitely possible for some Profound Heaven Realm fighters to kill advanced stage counterparts in a matter of seconds.

When Yao Yue stepped in, Fan Yi heaved a sigh of relief. “Do you know the levels of the cities?” he asked.

“I do.” Yao Yue nodded. “The Zone of Chaos is split into city levels from One Star to Seven Stars – the ratings given according to the strength of the castellan.”

Yao Yue had some understanding of the rating system. The Ice City was a One Star City – she could be regarded as a One-Star City Master as a result.

“That’s correct. Under normal circumstances, castellans in the initial stage of the Profound Heaven Realm are One Star Castellans, castellans in the intermediate stage are Two Star Castellans, and those in the advanced stage can range from Three Star to Seven Star Castellans.”

Fan Yi, full of experience, told them everything he knew.

“What did you say? Those in the advanced stage can range from Three Star to Seven Star?” Ye Mo was surprised. One star represented one tier of difference. But, for the advanced stage fighters, they were still so many different levels.

Ye Mo didn’t understand the difference between fighters in the advanced stage was.

For normal fighters, there wouldn’t be any differences once they reached the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.

Even if some were part of ancient clans that might have been blessed with unique gifts, the difference in level couldn’t be that big.

“Ye Mo, this involves the Cosmos Realm,” Hong Ling explained. “Reaching the advanced stage requires the fusion of six Profound Marks. Once that happens and your Heart makes a breakthrough, you’ll be able to enter the Cosmos Realm and realize the powers of space. The process of fusing the six Profound Marks will boost your strength greatly with every Profound Mark. The fusion represents the completion of the Profound Heaven powers.

Ye Mo understood. So Seven Star Castellans were fighters who had fused five Profound Marks.

“Do you want to know how many Seven Star Castellans and Six Star Castellans there are in these one thousand cities, and their identities?” Fan Yi took out a scroll from his hand and said, “This scroll names all the thousand cities, as well as information about almost all the castellans – who you should fight if you bump into them, as well as who you should try stealing from. If you want to have a good chance of surviving past the second and third stages, this scroll is a necessity. You two better not do anything rash. There is only one of these scrolls. I can destroy it at any time.”

“Alright, hand over the scroll, and we’ll let you go.” Yao Yue reached out her hand.

Ye Mo stopped her. “No, Little Yue. This guy knows my secret. If he makes it past the second stage and tells other fighters in the advanced stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, we’ll be in grave danger.”

With Fan Yi’s connections, letting him go could lead to dire consequences.

“If you let me go, you have my word that I’ll leave the Black Jade Mountains and remove myself from the competition,” Fan Yi said in a panic. “How about that? You two can even eliminate me from the competition outright.”

Yao Yue was easy to convince, but Ye Mo was less so.

“Ye Mo, what do you think?” Yao Yue asked Ye Mo’s opinion. “If we have that scroll with us, we’ll have a chance of making it out of the second round.”

“Alright,” Ye Mo said calmly. “Follow us to the edge of the Black Jade Mountain Range. You better not be planing anything.”

Fan Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Even so, he dared not let his guard down. The scroll in his hand was the only thing keeping him alive. The moment he felt Yao Yue and Ye Mo awaken their Profound Auras, he would destroy the scroll immediately.

After half a burning incense’s worth of time, Fan Yi was brought to the edge of the Black Jade Mountain Range. Another step would mean that he would be out of the mountains, and out of the competition, with no chance of returning to the mountains.

“Here you go, the scroll.” Fan Yi threw the scroll in one direction. The scroll was imbued with the rippling forces of his Profound Aura. If it wasn’t removed using Profound Aura in time, it would explode.

Fan Yi rushed outside of the mountain range anxiously.

“Little Yao, catch the scroll.”

Ye Mo’s body shook, the aura inside his body twisting and turning. In an instant, he generated a Profound Dragon Clone that dashed at Fan Yi.

“Fan Yi, go and die!” Ye Mo’s clone sent across a palm strike.

“Ye Mo, I admit that I’m not a match for your true form. You really think you can kill me with a mere clone?”

Seeing Ye Mo’s clone hot on his heels, Fan Yi, who was leaving the Black Jade Mountains, let out a roar of his own.

Ye Mo had no intention of letting Fan Yi live. He had almost cost both of them their lives. The only way that this thirst for revenge could be quenched was for him to die.
