Chapter 156: Two Pieces of Documents

With the sky still dark, the Limestone City was already bustling. Its city door was wide open with traders coming in and out, like an endless stream of crowds.
Ye Mo could even see the expansion construction happening on the outskirts of the city, with stone materials being transported and land being expanded.
Two fighters in the True Energy Realm appeared in Limestone City, resulting in the city’s name being spread all around. This led to the city rising from the lowest tier to a city belonging to a below average tier.
Many small clans still visited the Limestone City, setting up trades and businesses there.
Within this one month, one could say that the Limestone City had experienced revolutionary changes.
Ye Mo, carrying the Sky Blood Spear on his back, did not enter Limestone City through its entrance. Instead, he dove down from mid-air at a rapid speed, akin to a meteor, landing heavily on the ground, alerting many soldiers on patrol.
This high-profile entrance was an intentional attempt to let everyone know that he had returned to the Limestone City.
These patrolling soldiers were all properly trained. They were immediately alerted, raising their swords and spears and surrounding Ye Mo.
Ye Mo looked at the Qin Clan’s soldiers, spotting a few members from the Xiao Clan as well. One of them was Xiao Pojun, who had since became a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm.
Was it possible that within a month, the Xiao Clan had already been replaced the Qin Clan?
Ye Mo shook his head. The Qin Clan had a special background – it was unlikely that the Xiao Clan was going to be able to replace them in just a month.
“You are? Ye Mo?”
Xiao Pojun did a double tak, and was extremely shocked. He said, “Retract your weapons. This is Ye Mo, the son-in-law of my Xiao Clan.”
“What? He is Ye Mo?”
A few other soldiers expressed their surprise as well. Ye Mo’s name had spread across the whole city over the past month as the man who defeated Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm fighter Ye Changsheng with a single blow. Furthermore, he had killed Man Qi, an Energy Shaping First Realm fighter, through seal techniques. One had to understand that Ye Mo was only a Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm fighter back then.
His frightening level of strength completely overtook Ye Qing’s performance back in the day, making him a mythical figure in Limestone City.
Detecting the aura that Ye Mo was giving off, it seemed that he had made plenty of further breakthroughs since then.
“Xiao Pojun, how have you been? A month of not seeing you, and you have already reached the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm,” said Ye Mo.
“Hehe, it is all thanks to the pill that you cultivated, which allowed my strength to increase at such a rapid speed.”
“All of you are doing patrol duties?” asked Ye Mo.
“Yes, the Xiao Clan and the Qin Clan has become the two main clans in the Limestone City, with Qin Hao and our master sharing the responsibility of being the masters of Limestone City. Our master is, however, the assistant ruler. Our clan has some authority over Limestone City now,” Xiao Pojun said, nodding his head.
“I shall return to them then. I miss them dearly after a month of separation.”
As he spoke, Ye Mo displayed the most basic level of the Technique of Interchangeability, vanishing in front of everyone’s eyes.
“Such frightening speed! I doubt even fighters in the Energy Shaping Realm are this quick!”
“Detecting Ye Mo’s aura just now, it seems like he has already reached Spirit Cultivating Eight Realm. My goodness, from the Fourth Realm to the Eighth Realm in one month – this pace of improvement is too scary.”
As Ye Mo arrived at the Xiao Mansion, he was welcomed eagerly by Xiao Yuanshan and Madame Xiao with smiles on both their faces.
While Ye Mo and Xiao Yue did not hold official titles of husband and wife, and were not a married couple in reality, the Xiao Clan still saw Ye Mo as their son-in-law.
“Respects to Uncle Xiao, Madame Xiao!” Ye Mo hurriedly approached them.
“Ye Mo, you have finally returned. You left without a word that day –Madame Xiao and I spent so much time trying to find you.”
Xiao Yuanshan’s heart was finally at ease seeing Ye Mo’s return. He would have lived the rest of his life in guilt and regret had anything bad happen to Ye Mo.
“Uncle Xiao, Madame Xiao, it is my fault. The situation was too urgent back then, which forced me to leave without a word. With all the problems solved, it will be better for me to stay in the Xiao Mansion as I await the upcoming League Entry Examination at the Unbreakable Mountain,” said Ye Mo.
“Ye Mo, you made the breakthrough to the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm?”
Just as the two of them were heaving sighs of relief, Madame Xiao noticed the improvement in Ye Mo’s strength based on his aura, which gave her a big shock.
Easily killing a fighter in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm while being in the Fourth Realm – with Ye Mo now in the Eighth Realm, wouldn’t it be possible for him to challenge someone above his realm, killing a fighter in the Energy Shaping First Realm?
“Ye Mo, training cannot be rushed. It is still important to focus on being consistent and steady,” reminded Xiao Yuanshan.
“Yes. Oh, Uncle Xiao, is it possible for you to send a notice across the city to announce that Ye Mo has returned and is already in the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm, a milestone worthy of celebration? After three days, invite all the disciples from all the different clans to have a feast at the Xiao Mansion!” Ye Mo requested.
“What is this for, Ye Mo? While it is certainly great news that you have reached the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm, I don’t think there is a need for this.”
Xiao Yuanshan was shocked. Ye Mo was far from a person of high profile – inviting all the clans’ disciples across the city to have a feast seemed somewhat overboard.
“Uncle Xiao, I know what I am doing. Just heed my suggestion, and I promise that after three days, the position of the ruler of the Limestone City will be yours. No matter how furious that will make Qin Hao, he will not dare to say anything. All the family clans in Limestone City will follow your leadership.”
Ye Mo’s high profile actions were naturally to completely antagonize Man Tianhe. Seeing that Ye Mo had reached the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm, and was even hosting a feast for all the disciples in the Limestone City to celebrate, he would definitely show up.
“Okay!”
Even with his suspicions, Xiao Yuanshan still decided to trust Ye Mo and followed his instructions, allowing the butler to send out invitations to everyone. In three days, all of Limestone City’s disciples were invited to a feast at the Xiao Mansion to celebrate Ye Mo, Xiao Clan’s son-in-law, and his milestone of reaching the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm.
At the Qin Mansion in Limestone City, Qin Hao, sitting on the ruler’s throne, held two pieces of documents in his hands. One was the invitation from the Xiao Clan, and the other was the wanted notice sent down by the Emperor, which Xiao Yuanshan had not yet seen.
“Haha, the heavens must be helping me. Man Tianhe still has three days to escape his death sentence, and Xiao Yuanshan is organizing a feast for everyone in Limestone City to celebrate Ye Mo reaching the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm after three days.”
Qin Hao looked at the two documents in his hand, and a sinister smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“Ye Mo caused the Barbarians’ demise, leaving them with only a single elder, Man Tianhe, left. He is already a fighter in the Heaven’s Gate Realm, with enough ability to destroy the whole Xiao Clan on his own. I can’t help but feel somewhat excited thinking about the Xiao Clan perishing in front of so many people. Luckily Xiao Yuanshan has not yet seen this wanted poster. Otherwise he would’ve escaped by now.
“Once the Xiao Clan perishes, the Qin Clan will rise again!”
