The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 965 - 966: Shocking the Entire Clan

"Mother, you said that directly reaching the top of the Ascending Dragon Path and taking the Dragon Ball is considered passing the Longwen Hall’s assessment?"

Ye Mo looked curiously at the distant Ascending Dragon Path and said.

"Yes, there is still an incense stick’s time left. For you, it should not be an issue at all."

Zi Ning said.

Ye Mo nodded, walked over, and was about to speak to the assessment elder on the high platform when he immediately felt a series of enormous auras descending.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

One after another, a hundred ancient figures descended from the sky, landing on the high platform, with the leader being the ancestor of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

Seeing these figures land, although all the elders had restrained their auras, they were all Divine Venerate Realm experts, a hundred of them, standing there, exuding a powerful oppressive feeling.

All the clansmen directed their gazes towards the high platform. These elders, who had lived for thousands of years, were the strongest combat force of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, and they appeared here simultaneously.

They had never seen such a scene since birth.

Previously, the ancestor alone had announced Zi Aotian’s appointment as the next clan leader.

And this time, with the whole elders council following the ancestor, what will be announced?

Zi Aotian was also shocked. The entire elders council showing up, what are they about to do?

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

All the clansmen prostrated themselves again.

"All clansmen, rise."

The ancestor waved his hand and continued, "Today, I’ve come with the elders council to announce a matter. Earlier, I announced that if Zi Aotian can achieve a top-three ranking in the Lingwu genius battle, he will be appointed the next clan leader."

Hearing this, Ye Mo and Zi Ning’s expressions changed simultaneously. Ye Mo immediately wanted to rush forward, only to be stopped by Zi Ning.

"Mo’er, don’t act impulsively; let’s first hear what the ancestor has to say."

Zi Ning said.

"Because I thought Ye Mo died in the Abyss of Hell, now that he has returned unharmed and has advanced from the Third to the Fifth Rotation of Qiankun in just ten days, I have come together with the elders council to welcome Ye Mo and to announce another matter."

The ancestor said calmly.

Boom!

The ancestor’s words were like a thunderclap, striking heavily in everyone’s hearts. Enter the Abyss of Hell? Return unharmed, advancing from the Third to the Fifth Rotation of Qiankun in ten days.

Each of these things was enough to make everyone feel incredulous, and expressions of shock appeared on everyone’s faces.

Even Zi Aotian looked at Ye Mo with a gloomy expression. Although Ye Mo was still like an ant in front of him, Ye Mo’s brilliance was beginning to overshadow his own. This was something he could absolutely not tolerate.

Moreover, the ancestor was about to announce something else. Could it be to retract what was previously said? Wouldn’t that be indirectly slapping him in the face? Whether he could become the clan leader entirely depended on Ye Mo?

Without Ye Mo, he would have the opportunity to become the clan leader, but with Ye Mo, he wouldn’t.

"I will not retract what I previously announced. To make amends for Ye Mo, I will grant my favorite granddaughter Zi Xuan in marriage to Ye Mo."

Just as the ancestor finished speaking, all the clansmen on the viewing stands began discussing again.

"The ancestor is actually marrying Zi Xuan to Ye Mo. Zi Xuan is a third-generation clansman, of ancestor status, and her bloodline awakens with at least seven dragon patterns."

"Tsk tsk, Zi Xuan is the jewel of the ancestor’s hand, and he is willing to give her to an outsider."

"It’s said that Zi Xuan has some affection for Zi Aotian, but Zi Aotian is indifferent to Zi Xuan."

"Yes, Zi Aotian is interested in the Mu Family’s Mu Wanqing, paying no attention to other women."

"But with the ancestor announcing this marriage in front of so many people, Zi Aotian’s face can’t uphold."

When Zi Aotian heard the ancestor say this, he didn’t look pleased.

"Grandfather, I don’t agree!"

Zi Xuan suddenly leapt out from somewhere, furiously saying, "Why should I marry that arrogant guy? Anyway, I do not agree."

"Zi Xuan, whether in bloodline talent or cultivation talent, Ye Mo suits you very well. This matter is settled."

The ancestor’s attitude was very resolute in front of Ye Mo and Zi Ning.

"Ye Mo, what do you think?"

The ancestor asked.

After hearing so much, Ye Mo finally understood the gist, but he was determined to help his mother vie for the clan leader position.

"I disagree!"

Ye Mo said calmly.

"What? You disagree? You actually dare to disagree."

Zi Xuan’s expression changed, her delicate finger pointing at Ye Mo, "I’m the one betrothed to you, you have no right to disagree, only I do."

Ye Mo ignored Zi Xuan and said calmly, "Ancestor, I understand your intentions, but there is no need to offer Zi Xuan to me to make amends for your previous mistakes. In terms of strength and seniority, my mother is the rightful candidate for the clan leader. Zi Aotian should wait for the next appointment."

"What did you say?"

Zi Aotian said coldly.

"Nothing much, I think the position of clan leader should be decided through fair competition, and I ask the ancestor to reconsider."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"Bold."

Elder Zixing stepped forward, saying coldly, "Ye Mo, what kind of attitude is this? How dare you ask the ancestor to reconsider? The ancestor giving Zi Xuan to you is enough to show how much he values you. What the ancestor has spoken is like water spilled out, irrevocable."

The ancestor gestured for Zixing not to continue and said to Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, I will also give you an Immortal Artifact as a dowry. Once you and Zi Xuan are married, you will be a third-generation clansman of the elders council, and Elder Zi Ning will also be a third-generation figure, not lower than the clan leader in status."

The ancestor’s rewards were beyond what anyone imagined, using an Immortal Artifact to entice Ye Mo, giving him full face, making everyone envious.

However, just as Zi Aotian wanted to act out, he was stopped by Zi Long.

"Aotian, focus on the bigger picture. It’s okay to lose face now; as long as you achieve a top-three ranking, the position of clan leader will be yours. Once you have absolute authority in the clan, you can propose to the Mu Family as clan leader, and no one in the clan will oppose you."

The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan values bloodline power greatly, seldom marrying into outsiders, but the Mu Family is different. They are an ancient family with ancient bloodline and terrifying cultivation talent.

At this moment, none of the clansmen were paying attention to how the assessment on the Ascending Dragon Path was going; instead, their eyes were on Ye Mo, wondering if he would compromise.

Ye Mo’s face, slightly angry, suddenly showed a smile: "Since the ancestor thinks so highly of me, and offers such a beautiful granddaughter, I surely can’t refuse. Many thanks to the ancestor."

After speaking, Ye Mo cupped his hands, realizing that if he didn’t know when to retreat at this moment, he truly would be brainless.

"Whew!"

All the elders breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this bloodline genius, Ye Mo, would refuse, creating an awkward situation.

"However, the assessment for Longwen Hall isn’t over yet. If I ascend the Ascending Dragon Path and retrieve the Dragon Ball now, I should be able to enter Longwen Hall, right?"

Ye Mo grinned, making some people feel slightly unnerved.
