The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1071 - 1072: A Reluctant Agreement

"Yueyue, Ye Mo, Yurou, Cai Ling, Sister Qi Ying, Little fiend."

Ye Mo looked at the six women before him, feeling somewhat reluctant. However, the matters in the Zone of Desolation were all resolved. He must return to the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. Having been away from the clan for a long time, if he doesn’t report back, his mother might start to worry.

Moreover, he needs to repair the Solitary Darkness Cloak, restoring its Immortal Artifact spirituality, and make final preparations for the Lingwu Genius Battle.

"I’m going back to the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan now. You all should cultivate well. Once I’ve participated in the Lingwu Genius Battle, I will have a surprise for you."

As Ye Mo spoke, he immediately flew away from the Zone of Desolation.

Upon his return, he did not wear the Solitary Darkness Cloak. The cloak represents his identity as the Alliance Hierarch of the Five Element League. Returning to the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, he naturally needed to remove the cloak.

Upon Ye Mo’s arrival at the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, a mighty force descended—an entire group of Elders came down.

This scene completely shocked Ye Mo. How could this council of elders be out here to welcome him?

"Young master has arrived, and we’ve come in the name of the ancestor to greet you."

These elders all possessed power at the Divine Venerate Realm, undeniably stronger than Ye Mo, yet they all came to welcome him.

Before Ye Mo’s return, Elder Ziyang had returned first and informed Clan Leader Zi Kui of Ye Mo’s achievements.

Of course, Yuan God Honor didn’t know about Ye Mo’s actions on the Mountain of Wraith, as Ye Mo had directly broken through space, but he was aware of Ye Mo’s previous feats, including easily killing Xu Changqing and enhancing the Zone of Desolation’s strength.

Leaving for a while, he took advantage of various fortuitous encounters, advancing to the Qiankun Ninth Rotation, and even being able to kill experts at the Wheel of Reincarnation Fifth Revolution. Such talents absolutely exceeded their expectations.

"Elders, what are you doing here?"

Ye Mo asked in surprise, and they all called him young master.

"Young master is unaware. The ancestor has decreed that Elder Zi Ning has become acting clan leader, and as Elder Zi Ning’s son, you naturally are the young master, which the ancestor personally dictated."

Divine Venerate Ziyan stepped forward, saying, "Furthermore, the ancestor awaits you in the Dragon Pattern Pavilion, stating there’s an important matter to discuss with you."

"Good!"

Ye Mo nodded and went directly to the Longwen Hall, where the ancestor was seated on the throne, eyes slightly closed, as if waiting for Ye Mo.

"Ancestor, I’m here."

Ye Mo said casually.

"Hm, have a seat."

The ancestor spoke softly, yet did not open his eyes: "I’ve heard about your exploits outside, very impressive, and you even wore the cloak, not revealing your identity. If your Five Element League needs any assistance, feel free to ask."

"Ancestor, no need, I want to rely on my own strength to develop the Five Element League."

Ye Mo refused.

"I had the elders welcome you and called you over because there’s a significant matter to discuss with you, and upon hearing it, you may get upset, but it concerns you, so I must personally inform you."

The ancestor spoke softly.

"What matter?"

Could it be something happened to mother? He asked immediately.

"As I previously mentioned, our Ancient Azure Dragon Clan is on the verge of decline. Although you and Zi Xuan’s bloodline awakening bring new hope to our clan, your growth requires time."

The ancestor slowly explained.

Upon hearing the ancestor’s words, Ye Mo remained puzzled, unsure of the ancestor’s intentions.

"Just as you left the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Dao somehow learned that Zi Xuan had condensed the Nine Dragon Patterns, and they intend to forge an alliance with our clan through marriage."

The ancestor stated.

"Marriage? What kind of marriage?"

Ye Mo’s heart tensed upon hearing this, instinctively realizing that Zi Xuan was likely the marriage candidate.

Immediately, Ye Mo’s expression became extremely gloomy and displeased. Although nothing had occurred between him and Zi Xuan, even whether they would truly marry was uncertain. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

However, the entire clan knew he had marital ties with Zi Xuan, akin to his fiancée being snatched by the Heavenly Dao.

"Ye Mo, I know this is unfair to you, but the pressure from outside is immense, especially the other Three Divine Beasts Families, who have quietly teamed up due to you and Zi Xuan’s presence. If our clan could marry into the Heavenly Dao, sending Zi Xuan there, we would officially ally with the Heavenly Dao."

The ancestor spoke softly.

Sacrificing Zi Xuan, especially a Nine Dragon Patterns bloodline prodigy, for an alliance with the Heavenly Dao.

Yet the Heavenly Dao seemed to be exploiting our situation since the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan isn’t weaker than them.

"What is Zi Xuan’s stance?"

Curious, Ye Mo inquired, genuinely upset about the situation, but understanding the importance of considering the bigger picture. His and Zi Xuan’s presence present a significant threat to the Three Great Divine Beast Families.

"She agreed!"

The ancestor replied softly. "Perhaps she has truly grown up, given her nature, she would definitely have opposed this otherwise."

"Ancestor, do you truly have the heart to marry off your beloved granddaughter to the Heavenly Dao? Perhaps this is their scheme to obtain our bloodline power?"

Ye Mo posed.

"For the prosperity of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, even if it costs your life, or mine, I would take action, as you should understand this."

The ancestor said softly, then sighed: "I truly hope you, little one, will soon grow strong!"

This was a heartfelt message from Ancestor Zi Xuantong.

"Ancestor, rest assured, I surely won’t let you down."

Ye Mo said firmly.

"Three days from now, the Heavenly Dao will propose. Their Young Sect Master, their young prodigy, Hsiao Wufa will come to our clan seeking marriage, with the Heavenly Dao’s Sect Leader Hsiao Lintian also arriving to sign the alliance agreement."

The ancestor spoke softly: "On that day, I hope you refrain from any extreme actions."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo didn’t directly respond to the ancestor, saying: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

Without waiting for a response, Ye Mo turned and left Longwen Hall. He opposed this marriage, desiring Zi Xuan not to become the alliance’s sacrifice.

Ye Mo didn’t return but planned to find Zi Xuan to learn her true thoughts.
