“Do you think that our Estate Lord has wrongly accused him?” Ding Laoguai said coldly.

“Ding Laoguai, even if Ye Mo killed your guards, you must have instructed the five of them to kill Ye Mo,” Lord Xia Bao said. “In the end, instead of killing Ye Mo, they were killed by Ye Mo. Ye Mo’s strength has increased greatly. Ding Badao will undoubtedly lose in tomorrow’s battle. I heard that the Youlan Sky Estate secretly bet 500,000 Transcendence Pills on Ding Badao to win. You sent people to kill Ye Mo. How ruthless.”

Lord Xia Bao didn’t give in. The stronger Ye Mo was, the more Xia Bao would protect him. He wanted Ye Mo to remember his favor, so that in the future, when he returned this favor, it would be huge.

“Xia He!” Ding Laoguai suddenly burst out in anger. He pointed his finger and an Ice Crystal Long Sword with flower patterns appeared. With one swipe, it had the power to freeze everything for thousands of miles, as it shot towards Xia He.

Ye Mo looked at the Ice Crystal Long Sword. He felt something irresistible about it, a hidden force that he couldn’t fathom. It had completely surpassed the power of Transcendence.

Xia He’s eyes turned cold as his big hand grabbed at the thin air. The Ice Crystal Long Sword exploded into pieces. But after it exploded, it reformed back into a sharp sword and shot toward Xia He.

“An insignificant skill,” Xia He said indifferently. He waved his hand again. The sword began to melt.

This was just a casual confrontation between the two, but Xia He was obviously going to win.

“Ding Laoguai, I respected you as an honored guest, therefore I let you enter the main hall to sit down and talk,” Xia He said coldly. “Tomorrow is the day of the battle agreement. Do you think I’ll let you take Ye Mo away? To tell you the truth, I’ve also privately bet 500,000 Transcendence Pills.”

He had made his position clear that no matter what; he wouldn’t let the Youlan Sky Estate take Ye Mo away.

“Xia He, are you really going to fight me for Ye Mo?” Ding Laoguai said angrily.

“This isn’t a question of going against you,” Xia He said lightly. “I’m afraid that even the big and small forces in the East and West are aware of the battle agreement. They’ve all made bets on it. Tomorrow, there must be a winner and loser, and the Bamboo Forest Fort has also privately bet 500,000 Transcendence Pills. No matter what, I will not back down. You can’t get anything from making trouble here. You should all know very well my strength and Master Fu Qian’s.”

As long as Xia He didn’t back down, the Youlan Sky Estate wouldn’t get anything if they continued to make trouble.

“Let’s go.” Ding Estate Lord waved his big sleeve and left reluctantly with Ding Wanchi and Shen Canghai.

“You’re Ye Mo, right?” Shen Canghai smiled ruthlessly at Ye Mo as he left. “You be careful in tomorrow’s battle.”

The Youlan Sky Estate returned without accomplishing anything from the trouble they made.

“Lord Bao, I don’t think they’ll let it go just like this,” Fu Qian said immediately after the people from Youlan Sky Estate left.

“Because of the relationship between the three sides, the battle agreement this time will have an enormous influence,” Xia He said. “Even the East and West regions will have forces betting on Ye Mo. I’ve also secretly pulled a lot of clans in to bet on Ye Mo. The Youlan Sky Estate has drawn a lot of forces to bet on Ding Baodao. The Xi Menshi Clan has also secretly pulled a lot of forces to place bets. The battle agreement must be fulfilled.”

The foregone conclusion could not be changed. No one could bear the consequences of backing out now. But once there was a result, the loser would pay a heavy price.

“Ye Mo, did you really kill those five people?” Xia He looked at Ye Mo with twinkling eyes and said, “If you did…no matter how much Ding Badao cultivates, it’s impossible for him to advance to the Transcendence Sixth Realm. Even if those old things help enlighten him, he won’t be your match.”

“That’s right,” Master Fu Qian said. “Since Ye Mo was able to kill those five guards, they’ll never let it go like this and wait for death. They’ll certainly try to tamper with the battle agreement, so Ye Mo shouldn’t leave the Bamboo Forest Fort between today and tomorrow.”

He continued, “When the time for the battle agreement comes, Ye Mo will definitely be able to defeat Ding Badao easily.”

Ye Mo listened to their advice. He hadn’t intended to leave either. After the battle agreement tomorrow, he would leave this place and return to the Door of Desolation. Now that he’d advanced to the Transcendence Realm, he could also have a date with Xiao Yue.

Although he knew that Xiao Yue was deceiving him, Ye Mo wasn’t angry at all. He would continue to act with her and cherish their time together. When his strength reached the Profound World Realm, he would personally find the society head of First Heaven Society.

Even if he had the Demon Bloodline, so what? The power of God’s Will could not be blasphemed against.

After returning to the Youlan Sky Estate, Ding Laoguai smashed a Profound Wood table worth 1000 Transcendence pills as soon as he sat in the hall.

“Bastard!” Ding Estate Lord swore.

Shen Canghai and Elder Ding’s faces didn’t look good at all. Tomorrow’s battle agreement was a foregone conclusion.

“Canghai, why don’t you go and see how Badao’s cultivation is going?” Ding Estate Lord said.

“Yes.” Shen Canghai nodded and walked out of the hall. But no matter how much Ding Badao cultivated, he would never be a rival to Ye Mo.

“En, what happened outside the Estate entrance?” Shen Canghai asked a guard.

“Oh! It’s like this,” replied the guard. “An old psychopath said he wanted to see our Estate Lord. He said there’s a way to turn this defeat into victory. We’re driving him away right now.”

“No. Let him in.” Shen Canghai’s eyes shone brightly and said, “I’ll go see him myself.”

With that, he went to the entrance of the Estate. He saw an elder of Shangguan Clan, who came to purchase goods, standing there expressionless.

“Who are you?” Shen Canghai asked, confused.

“I am Ye Mo’s enemy,” the Shangguan elder said. “As long as you lend me a hand, Ye Mo will undoubtedly lose tomorrow’s battle.”

“Distinguished guest, please come in.”

Although the Shangguan elder’s cultivation was only in the Transcendence Sixth Realm, not as good as him, it was a good time for some extra help. Whether he had a brilliant plan or not, it would still be a help.

Shen Canghai brought the Shangguan elder to the main hall and asked, “Distinguished guest, what’s your name?”

“I am Shang Guanshu.”

“Estate Lord, elder, this is Shang Guanshu,” Shen Canghai said. “He said that there’s a way to deal with Ye Mo so that we can turn the defeat of tomorrow’s battle into victory.”

Shen Canghai’s words made the eyes of Ding Estate Lord and Elder Ding light up.

“Oh! Distinguished guest, I don’t know what strategy you have, but as long as you can help my Youlan Sky Estate get through this difficulty, I’ll regard you as my guest,” the Ding Estate Lord said.

“Estate Lord.” Shang Guanshu cupped his hands and said, “To tell you the truth, Ye Mo and I are both from the Zone of Desolation. A total of eight people accompanied us here. Ye Mo killed my companion. Apart from Ye Mo, there are five others, all of whom are Ye Mo’s companions, and they’re not with Ye Mo right now. If the Estate Lord can capture them all before the decisive battle tomorrow, they can be used to threaten Ye Mo. It would be hard for the young master to lose even if he wanted to.”

“Haha! Brother Shangguan, that’s brilliant.” Ding Laoguai looked up to the sky and laughed. “Do you know where the other five are?”

“I’ve investigated where the five of them are staying,” Shang Gaunshu said. “The most powerful among them is Ye Mo’s uncle, in the Transcendence Eight Realm. It may be a bit difficult to capture him.”

“Only the Transcendence Eighth Realm,” the Ding Estate Lord said. “Elder Ding is an expert in the Profound World Realm. He will go capture him personally. You’ll set out with Elder Ding. Once it’s done, we’ll have a drink together.”
