The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 948 - 949: Blending In

Listening to Zi Ning’s words, Ye Mo knew that she had secretly brought him into the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, which was already considered a violation of clan rules. If anyone found out that he had no clan insignia, he would surely be punished.

"Mo’er, once I become the next Clan Leader of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, I’ll be able to control most of the clan’s power. I’ll bring you back by then. Please don’t blame me."

Zi Ning said.

"I won’t. I know you have your reasons. Even if you don’t bring me back, I won’t blame you."

Ye Mo said.

"Mo’er, I also know that you came to the Lingwu Continent to find me. Now that the Hall Master of the Chaos Palace has been killed by me, Brother Qing’s revenge is also avenged. But we still haven’t been able to reunite as a family. You must cultivate well, okay? In the future, if you take a liking to a girl, just take her."

With strength, no one will dare to stop you.

"Mother, don’t you find it strange? The Hall Master of the Chaos Palace had no grievances with Father. Why would he frame Father? I suspect there must be more to this than meets the eye."

Hearing Zi Ning’s words, Ye Mo couldn’t help but speak, "Perhaps the true mastermind isn’t the Hall Master of the Chaos Palace."

"Could it be Big Brother?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Ning recalled that it was Zi Long who, under the Clan Leader’s orders, had instructed his subordinates to take her away from the Zone of Desolation.

She frowned and continued, "Alright, don’t think too much. Just focus on cultivating here these few days. After you enter the Dragon Transformation Pond, I’ll send you to a good place, just as good as the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan."

Zi Ning waved her hand.

Ye Mo responded and left, but in his heart, he was thinking, "So it turns out Mother may become the Clan Leader of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. I’m afraid it’s not that simple. There must be people plotting against her behind the scenes. Perhaps Ziyan God-Honor bringing me into the Dragon Transformation Pond isn’t that easy. If my presence is discovered, it could have a significant impact on Mother’s chances of becoming the next Clan Leader. I can’t let anything affect her."

Ye Mo wasn’t an idiot. After going through so much, he was well aware that even ordinary families would fight to the death for the position of Clan Leader, let alone a super family like the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

Moreover, his mother had no choice but to bring him into the clan at such a sensitive time.

In a flash, three days passed, and the annual grand event of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan arrived.

The opening ceremony of the Dragon Transformation Pond, which could also be considered the coming-of-age ceremony held by the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, required all males over eighteen to participate, to undergo strength testing and enter the Dragon Transformation Pond to awaken their Bloodline Power.

Ziyan God-Honor also took Ye Mo early and ascended Azure Dragon Peak along the Dragon Path. At the peak were several experts of the Azure Dragon Clan and an elderly man with black hair. There were also many youths standing there, looking about the same age as Ye Mo, all experts of the Cosmos Realm.

Standing beside these young people were some middle-aged men and women, who seemed to be their parents.

The elder saw Ziyan God-Honor with Ye Mo and immediately bowed, saying, "Elder Ziyang!"

The young men and women, as well as the middle-aged men and women, also immediately bowed upon seeing Ziyan God-Honor arrive, their expressions very respectful.

"No need to stand on ceremony."

Ziyan God-Honor waved his hand and said to the elder, "Elder Zi Shan, this is my grandson. I recently found him and brought him here to see if he can condense the Six Paths Dragon Pattern."

"Grandson?"

Zi Shan was taken aback, looking at Ye Mo incredulously.

Zi Shan knew that Ziyan God-Honor had a son, a fifth-generation descendant, who had married a noble daughter from the clan and then went on a very dangerous mission. Both fell during the mission.

At that time, many in the clan lamented that he left no children, leading to a loss of the bloodline.

Ziyan God-Honor’s son was extremely talented. As a fifth-generation descendant, he had even condensed the Seven Paths Dragon Pattern, inheriting perfect Bloodline Power, which was considered a bloodline mutation. So his descendants were likely to carry on his Bloodline Power, with strong bloodline talent.

For example, Zi Ning, who had condensed the Six Paths Dragon Pattern, and if she married a man from the clan, her children could very likely condense the Six Paths Dragon Pattern, or at worst, the Five Dragon Patterns.

This was why when Zi Ning married Ye Qing, the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan was furious.

"That’s right."

Ziyan God-Honor nodded and didn’t say anything further.

"This guy is too weak, his aura is so faint. How could he possibly be Elder Ziyang’s grandson?"

"Yeah, I think it’s fake. If he’d inherited the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan’s bloodline, he should at least have the advantage to reach the Profound Heaven Realm."

All those young men and women, as well as their parents, began to doubt.

In the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, even with poor talent, one could use their bloodline to reach the Profound Heaven Realm, but Ye Mo’s current realm was only at the Transcendence Realm.

However, their voices were low, only murmured, but Ye Mo could hear them all.

After a while, several more young individuals joined, led by their parents. Among them was Little Mu, escorted by a woman who seemed to be her mother. Her attire was quite plain, indicating a low status within the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

"Thirty-one young individuals will undergo the coming-of-age ceremony this year, plus Elder Ziyang’s grandson, making it thirty-two. Since everyone is here, follow me."

With that, the black-haired elder took the lead, entering the mountain peak’s passageway. The passageway was ten meters wide, its walls engraved with relief carvings that appeared to be the martial techniques of the Azure Dragon Clan.

As they walked through the passageway, Little Mu tossed Ye Mo an encouraging look, making him smile and return the gesture.

The girl had taken care of him when he was unconscious, serving as Zi Ning’s servant girl. Who knew how many dragon patterns she could condense?

"We’re almost there, please remain quiet." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Said the black-haired elder, leading everyone into a spacious hall where another elder immediately approached to greet him.

Inside the hall, Ye Mo saw a large pool in the center, where energy churned like boiling water. It was blood-red, resembling a blood pool.

On one side of the hall sat four elders, aged and dignified, with closed eyes like corpses.

However, upon sensing the arrival of Elder Ziyang, they immediately opened their eyes, nodded to him, and resumed their meditative posture.

"Little Mu, you’re about to enter the Dragon Transformation Pond. If your dragon patterns aren’t more than mine, I’ll become Zi Ning’s servant girl."

While waiting, another young woman slightly older than Little Mu approached her with a confident smile.

Zi Ning might become the next Clan Leader, so being her servant girl promised a boundless future.

"Zi Qingqing, don’t be so complacent. Maybe I’ll condense three dragon patterns."

Little Mu’s face flushed red.

"Haha, both your parents only have one dragon pattern. Do you think you can undergo bloodline mutation? My parents are three-path dragon pattern experts; even at the worst, I can get two."

Zi Qingqing laughed.

"Quiet down, all of you. Standstill where you are. Now, the elders of the Four Pavilions will test your strength. If you haven’t reached the Cosmos Realm, you’ll be sent to the Prison Dragon Pagoda upon entering the Dragon Transformation Pond. However, if you manage to condense more than the Five Dragon Patterns, you’ll be exempt from penalty."
