Chapter 627: Game of Harvest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing the rankings on the Seal Cachet, after a day of massacres, the First Heaven Society’s four main generals and Liu Qingyun had already taken up the first places with their point tallies and solidified their leads, more than 2000 points above the other 26 participants. Even if these five stopped killing demons for the next two days, they would still be able to finish in the top ten and successfully advance to the next round.
“Those five people seem to be working together.”
Now that Ye Mo had advanced to the Third Tier of the Transcendence Realm, using the wave movement of the Seal Cachet, he could even detect Ninth Tier fighters. Those five had to be fighting the demons together.
With their powers combined, they were capable of destroying whole countries by themselves.
With the five of them sp inseparable, Ye Mo didn’t dare initiate an attack against them. Instead, he was going to focus on the disciples who ranked behind them.
“This guy is 11th in the rankings, and he’s from the Human Dao Palace. His strength is in the Sixth Tier. Alright, it’ll be you then.”
Knowing that he was going to have to show himself sooner or later, Ye Mo chose a Human Dao Palace disciple to strike first and then observe how the five elite fighters would react.
“Based on his aura, he’s a hundred meters to my right.”
Figuring out how the Seal Cachet’s wave movements worked was almost like being given a cheating weapon – he could clearly identify the whereabouts of all thirty contestants. Furthermore, he could intentionally avoid the five people from the First Heaven Society and prevent them from finding him.
Changing his direction, Ye Mo flew for a few more minutes before he saw a Human Dao Palace disciple killing a demon from afar.
There were three people there. Two of their point tallies weren’t listed in the top 30 rankings.
“They’re all in the Sixth Realm – barely worth my time.”
Ye Mo smiled as he flew over. Sending a palm strike out, the bodies of the three men exploded instantly. With no time to even react to their own deaths, it was impossible for them to alert anyone else to his whereabouts.
Whoosh.
Ye Mo saw three Dimensional Bracelets and dashed over, absorbing them with one swoop of his palm.
Unlocking the Dimensional Bracelets, he found the most important things inside the bracelets – the Messenger Seals. These seals were capable of sending messages to Liu Qingyun.
But Ye Mo had no use for them. First of all, he couldn’t mimic their voices. Secondly, if he contacted Liu Qingyun and all five of them came together, he was going to be at a huge disadvantage. Moreover, the change in the rankings on the Seal Cachet was enough to indicate that Ye Mo had started his offense.
“Zhang Tao is dead. His ranking’s been replaced by Ye Mo,” Liu Qingyun said with a solemn voice as he saw the change on the Seal Cachet.
“That Ye Mo’s got some tricks up his sleeve. Looks like he doesn’t intend to slaughter the demons, but to steal the points of other participants instead.”
“This guy, it’s almost as if he knows where we are. The moment we parted with Zhang Tao, he died.”
“He must be using some tricks. Let’s split up and move separately,” Chu Tian said. They finally parted ways to hunt down Ye Mo individually.
Ye Mo saw the five rays of aura finally separating and smiled slightly. Among the five, the one that he was most confident about defeating was Chen Fan. But he didn’t attack him right away. Instead, he chose to continue finding Human Dao Palace disciples and finishing them off to the antagonize the five more.
With the Seal Cachet, it was simply impossible for them to locate him.
Ye Mo glanced at the cachet and set his sights on another Human Dao Palace disciple – a Seventh Tier disciple ranked 16th.
Avoiding the five from the First Heaven Society, Ye Mo struck again against another Human Dao Palace disciple.
The second day flew by in a blink of an eye.
In a day, Ye Mo killed ten Human Dao Palace disciples, raising his point tally to 6th place.
In Purgatory sat the First Heaven Society’s four main generals and Liu Qingyun. They were all enraged – not even splitting up had allowed them to find Ye Mo. Furthermore, they’d allowed Ye Mo to kill ten more Human Dao Palace disciples.
This was nothing short of humiliating for them. Not only did they fail to kill off Ye Mo, but they’d allowed Ye Mo to rise to 6th place.
There was only one day left in the competition.
Ye Mo’s plan to harvest other people’s points continued. Now, he didn’t want to kill Chen Fan anymore – it would take a significant amount of effort to do so, and he definitely wasn’t capable of finishing him off with a single move. Their bout would attract the attention of the other four, and thus carried a lot of risk.
Ye Mo had another plan – with the exception of Liu Qingyun and company, he was going to kill off any disciple who was either from Human Dao Palace or in the top 30 rankings.
Ye Mo began to execute his plan. After another disciple’s elimination, another Human Dao Palace disciple entered the top 30, as shown on the Seal Cachet.
Liu Qingyun and the four main generals had noticed Ye Mo’s movements as well. They notified that disciple and started working together.
“Ye Mo’s movement is unnatural.”
The five of them gathered to protect the disciple.
“Chu Tian, with the five of us guarding him, Ye Mo won’t show up,” Liu Qingyun said. “How about we split ways and use this junior as bait. If we hide somewhere far away, Ye Mo won’t be able to detect us.”
The other four were infuriated by Ye Mo. This was a game of cat-and-mouse, and they felt like a huge cat being played around over and over again by this puny mouse – Ye Mo.
As the proud main generals of the First Heaven Society, the most important servants of the Master, they couldn’t believe that they were being toyed around by Ye Mo. This humiliation was a shameful stain on their reputations. As the four main generals, each of them was a generational prodigy, with their Transcendence Golden Bodies all placing in the top 40. When was the last time they had been humiliated like this? The only way to avenge this shame was to crush Ye Mo.
“Alright, we have to kill Ye Mo, no matter what,” after Chu Tian spoke, the five of them hid far away and locked their auras on the junior disciple. Four hours passed, and there was no sight of Ye Mo at all.
“What’s going on?” Chu Tian stormed away in anger. His patience had been tested to its limit.
“General Tian, I suspect that Ye Mo knows exactly where we are,” Li Huo said.
“Li Huo is right. General Tian, think about it. Purgatory may be huge, but with us flying around like this, it’s impossible that we wouldn’t at least bump into him by chance. And, Ye Mo was able to kill off a disciple in the rankings each and every time – they all happen to be in the Human Dao Palace, too.”
“With Ye Mo not showing up after we’ve guarded this place for so long, it’s obvious that he knows where we are,” Nian Bing said. “He knows that he can’t defeat all of us, and that’s why he doesn’t dare to show up.”
“This Ye Mo is indeed something special,” Chu Tian said. “Our senses are limited in Purgatory – but he’s somehow able to track all of us.”
Chu Tian was taken aback. If Ye Mo really knew where they were at all times, it would explain everything that had happened. “If this is true, I’m afraid our journey to Purgatory will have to end in failure.”
“Not necessarily,” Liu Qingyun shook his arm and said, “Chu Tian, since Ye Mo can keep track of our whereabouts, I believe that he can do the same for everyone shown in the Seal Cachet. This means that he’s able to keep track of the two other Asura Dao Palace disciples as well. If we can’t find Ye Mo, Taiyi Qinglian might be able to. The moment any one of us finds Taiyi Qinglian, Ye Mo will know. Let’s see if he shows himself to save her.”
