Chapter 746: Who Surrounds? Who Kills?

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Everyone gasped—what power was this? Qi Youxin, who had planned to ambush Ye Mo, shuddered at the thought. Had he attacked, he would be the one lying on the ground now. This man was too strong!

“This madman is slaughtering innocent members of our hidden sects! I, Ling Wushui, in the name of the Qian Kun Sect, issue a highest-level kill order on Ye Mo. Any sect assisting us will be considered an ally and receive a Great Heaven Pill.” Ling Wushui trembled with rage, knowing he couldn’t kill Ye Mo alone.

The Taiyi Sect elder, Len Quan, proclaimed, “I agree with Brother Ling. We have countless masters arriving; no matter how strong this man is, he will die. Hunting him down is crucial for the hidden sects. Sects that refuse to contribute will face the consequences.” The Taiyi elder’s words were a thinly veiled threat.

“Hahaha!” A derisive laugh echoed as an old woman flew in.

Ye Mo recognized Grandma Feng from Ice Lake. She nodded at him. “I never expected to see the day my judgment was clouded. Not only are you a high-level herbal doctor, but a Great Heaven Peak master as well.”

“Elder Feng, your sect is also among the hidden sects. This man is rampaging through them; for their survival, I hope you’ll help kill him. In return, Ice Lake will be upgraded to second-grade status,” Len Quan said.

Elder Feng looked at Len Quan with contempt. “Len, stop using your deceitful rhetoric. I’m disgusted. Ice Lake became a third-grade sect because of Taiyi’s actions in the first place.”

Turning to Ling Wushui, she added, “And your Qian Kun Sect is no different—nothing but schemes and trickery! Ice Lake will not join this hunt. Mu Xiaoyun is our disciple, but even if she weren’t, I can leave whenever I please.”

Len Quan’s face darkened, but Ling Wushui quickly regained his composure, staring coldly at Elder Feng.

Elder Feng turned to Ye Mo. “Ye Mo, you’re a master whose strength I can’t fathom, but even you can’t protect Mu Xiaoyun from so many masters. She’s my disciple. Trust me, let me take her; you can focus on these fools. What do you say?”

“Elder Feng, you’re overstepping!” Len Quan shouted.

Elder Feng retorted, “Am I wrong to take my sect’s disciple? If you disagree, fight me.”

“Fine, go ahead, but don't interfere further. Otherwise…” Ling Wushui harrumphed. He knew that Mu Xiaoyun’s presence would only mildly concern Ye Mo. Her death, however, would push Elder Feng to Ye Mo’s side.

Elder Feng, seemingly anticipating this, turned to Ye Mo, awaiting his reply.

Ye Mo frowned. Giving Mu Xiaoyun to this powerful woman was the best option, yet he sensed something was amiss; she wasn't just saving Mu Xiaoyun out of loyalty to Ice Lake. This was mere intuition.

But leaving Mu Xiaoyun would put her in greater danger.

“Husband, I’ll go with Elder Feng. Find me after you’re done. And if you don’t… I’ll join you!” Mu Xiaoyun declared.

Ye Mo sighed. “Okay, Xiaoyun, go with Elder Feng. Don’t worry, I’ll return. These people are no threat, just wait for me.”

Ye Mo produced an aromatic pill. “Elder Feng, a top-grade medicinal pill made with precious herbs. It will heal your wounds. Thank you for caring for Xiaoyun.”

Elder Feng readily consumed it. The pill dissolved instantly, and her wounds began to heal. A powerful herbal doctor indeed!

“Excellent pill! It’s melting, healing my wounds!” Decades-old wounds healed before their eyes. Elder Feng was overjoyed.

Ye Mo smiled. “You deserve it for caring for Xiaoyun. It’s the Knowing Will Pill. It smells bad, but it’s effective for internal injuries. I found the herbs on Wu Wen Mountain years ago. It cures any internal injury, but takes a day without power to aid digestion.”

Mu Xiaoyun found this odd. She knew her husband possessed a Lotus Life Pill that instantly cured internal injuries.

“Xiaoyun, I’ve left some things with you. Cultivate diligently,” Ye Mo said, having already placed the jade slip of the Primordial Fortune Chant and numerous pills in her ring.

“En,” Mu Xiaoyun replied, regretting her lack of cultivation. Had she not waited for her husband, she might be at stage five.

Ye Mo nodded. “Wait, I’ll make something else.”

Ye Mo fashioned a bracelet from ores and pills. He placed it on her, whispering, “This bracelet means I’m always with you—don’t remove it.”

“En,” Mu Xiaoyun agreed obediently.

Everyone watched, mouths agape, as Ye Mo conjured fire and created a bracelet. Len Quan and Ling Wushui’s eyes darted nervously.

With Mu Xiaoyun and Elder Feng gone, Ye Mo turned to Len Quan and Ling Wushui. “Fine, since you crave death, don’t blame me. This place will become a bloodbath.”

Ye Mo unleashed his killing intent, a palpable force that made many people shiver.

“Wait, All Heaven Sect, leave. This doesn’t concern us,” a voice announced, and the All Heaven Sect disciples departed.

“Master, Ye Mo is also known as Mo Ying, a friend. I can’t help him, but I don’t want our Shu Mountain Sword Sect to attack him,” another voice declared. Ye Mo saw Liu Lei and nodded. He didn’t care if the Shu Mountain Sword Sect left, but Liu Lei, a mere inner sect member, daring to speak up, showed true loyalty.

Many sects seized the opportunity to leave.

As more departed, Len Quan roared, “Kill him! Now!” He and Ling Wushui charged.

Qi Kai followed. The remaining members of the Taiyi, Qian Kun, and Gemini Sword Sects, and the Forgery Hall, attacked Ye Mo.

In an instant, countless projectiles, sword chi, and fist chi rained down upon him.
