The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1047 - 1048: Deep Within the Mountain of Wraith
"Senior brother, I just felt fluctuations from a battle here, but it seems the people have left already."
One of the disciples with stronger heart force sensed the surroundings and said, "It should be other patrol squads; our plan this time is extremely important, we must not be careless."
The man referred to as senior brother also said, "Let me be honest with you, our plan this time was issued by the Clan Leader of the God-Devouring Blood Tiger Clan. He is the leader of one of the Four Ancient Divine Beast Clans. If this plan is completed, our Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion might become a first-rate power, strengthening our relationship with the God-Devouring Blood Tiger Clan, and our status will rise swiftly."
"By the way, senior brother, do you know the specifics of our plan this time? We are just responsible for patrolling and know nothing; it must be something major, right?"
Said another female disciple.
"Of course it’s something major. Our senior brothers and those from Huangji Hall are practicing day and night to master the Great Universal Demonic Extermination Array. Three days later will be the day of yin decline, when all the Wraith Energy in the Wraith Kingdom will completely vanish, replaced by Heavenly Profound Qi. At that time, the strength of the Wraith Demon Emperor will greatly decrease, and we can kill the Wraith Demon Emperor in one fell swoop to obtain all the Life Spring and Death Spring."
"Kill the Wraith Demon Emperor? But he’s a notorious fiend from ancient times, even if his strength decreases, it’s difficult for us to contend with him, right?"
The female disciple said in shock.
"What’s there to fear? This time we have two Divine Venerate Realm powerhouses presiding over the formation, one being the Clan Leader of the God-Devouring Blood Tiger Clan, Master Jiang Hu, and the other the Hall Master of Huangji Hall. They will surely be able to defeat the Wraith Demon Emperor."
After speaking, the five slowly walked away, heading down another road.
"Day of yin decline, kill the Wraith Demon Emperor?"
As soon as the five patrol members of Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion left completely, Ye Mo and Xiao Yue appeared with a hint of astonishment.
Only then did he realize that those thousands of disciples practicing day and night were actually trying to master the Great Universal Demonic Extermination Array. This formation requires a thousand disciples of the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm and above to unleash its greatest power.
Moreover, there is also the Clan Leader Jiang Hu of the God-Devouring Blood Tiger Clan.
Originally, he and Xiao Yue came to fetch the spring water, but these people were so audacious, intending to kill the infamous Wraith Demon Emperor on the day of yin decline.
"Ye Mo, what should we do now?"
Xiao Yue naturally understood the stakes involved. A battle of this scale is definitely not one they can intervene in. Once the formation is set up, even a single ripple can destroy the two of them.
"Perhaps this is an opportunity for us!"
Ye Mo frowned and said, "If we stick to our previous plan, find the place where the Wraith Demon Emperor is suppressed, and use the Chu Assassination Domain to infiltrate, then steal the spring water, but this risk is also very high."
They had considered this risk.
But now, with the situation changed, three days later is the day of yin decline, the Wraith Demon Emperor’s power will greatly reduce, Jiang Hu will unite three major forces to completely kill the Wraith Demon Emperor and seize all the spring water.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Yue curiously asked, looking at the thoughtful Ye Mo.
"Opportunities and dangers coexist. Perhaps we can cooperate with the Wraith Demon Emperor."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"Cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue was shocked, completely unexpected that Ye Mo would have such a bold idea. Cooperation with the Wraith Demon Emperor would be like seeking skin from the tiger.
Ye Mo nodded and said, "If I can negotiate successfully with the Wraith Demon Emperor this time, sabotage their plan, I can not only successfully obtain the spring water, but also seize the chance to kill Jiang Hu."
This time, Ye Mo spoke without using "we", rather "I", and Xiao Yue understood Ye Mo’s intention: he wanted to act alone.
"Ye Mo, even if you want to go, you can’t leave me to go alone."
Xiao Yue refused.
Ye Mo looked at Xiao Yue’s firm eyes and couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Alright, we’ll go together!"
"Hmm, and we won’t die either."
Xiao Yue revealed a mysterious danger, as if she still had many means reserved.
Ye Mo activated the Eye of the Divine Beast again, and everywhere seemed overcast, with unruly mountains blocking the sky, unknown how deep they ran.
In those dark mountains, a giant Divine Temple glimmered with purple light, the purple glow interwove with Wraith Energy, exuding a sinister feeling.
Ye Mo thought that the Divine Temple might be where the Wraith Emperor was suppressed.
"Yueyue, in the depths of the mountains, I discovered a Divine Temple, it’s very eerie, I suspect the Wraith Demon Emperor is inside."
The Eye of the Divine Beast flashed repeatedly, and Ye Mo reconfirmed his suspicions.
"If that’s the case, then let’s go take a look!"
Listening to Ye Mo, Xiao Yue showed no hesitation.
"Hmm, but we should be cautious, I saw earlier those disciples of Muu Wang Heavenly Mansion patrolling were avoiding it."
Ye Mo nodded and said.
The two then went over side by side towards the Divine Temple.
As they approached the Divine Temple, Ye Mo noticed numerous corpses scattered about, some already completely decayed.
With just a glance, it was clear that these corpses were laden with treasures, weapons in hand, fingers wearing Sumeru rings.
"These people probably came adventuring for spring water, and they all perished near the Divine Temple."
Ye Mo activated the Eye of the Divine Beast, scanning all around. Nearly afraid to shut his Eye, he had to pierce through the crisis; otherwise, they might end up like the others.
Around the Divine Temple were guardian statues. Their features seemed oddly vague.
"What’s that smell?"
Suddenly, an overwhelming scent washed over him, and a bad premonition struck Ye Mo.
"That’s Bewitching Fragrance!"
The little girl said.
"What’s that?"
Before the little girl could answer, the two statues began trembling, exposing cracks on their surfaces and chunks of stone chipped off, revealing inner textures.
Soon, the stones completely fell, revealing statues looking at Ye Mo and Xiao Yue with vacant eyes.
"What!?"
Ye Mo was stunned by the sight of these two figures before him.
"Inhaling Bewitching Fragrance results in hallucinations, which transfer to the statues nearby,"
The little girl explained.
The figures standing before Ye Mo and Xiao Yue were identical to them, each wielding a Heavenly Snare Blood Spear and Six Daos Reincarnation Scepter.
"Ye Mo, let me tell you, this encounter is totally different from what you faced in the Seventh Layer of the Dragon Prison; this is a hallucination. Since the opponent’s power is the same as yours, if you grow stronger, they grow too,"
The little girl sounded worried: "Your final outcome will be mutual destruction, annihilated together!"
