Chapter 124 – Three Ways of Exploitation
“Wen Feng!” Mo Linyuan suddenly shouted, “Send Ye Mu away immediately. The further the better!”
The current situation was proving to be far from dangerous.
“Yes sir!” Wen Feng hurriedly stepped forward towards Ye Mu. But who knew that before he could move, Ye Li’s blood-red eyes suddenly locked onto Mo Linyuan and reached out to grab him!
When Wen Feng saw that Ye Li was about to grab the Mo crown prince, he instantly retraced his steps. However, it turns out Ye Li was only trying to mislead him. In the next second, he had already captured Ye Mu in his arms.
“Ye Mu!”
The instant Ye Mu was captured, Mo Linyuan’s body subconsciously moved forward to save her. But he was heavily knocked to the ground by Ye Li. Roughly grabbing Ye Mu, he leaped onto the nearest wall and laughed maniacally.
“Mu’er, since you are my daughter. If I have to die, then we’ll die together!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran off to the opposite direction. Yan Xu and his men hurriedly gave chase after Ye Li. And after travelling some distance, he noticed that Ye Li was heading towards the inner palace, where the deceased Emperor lived.
Wen Feng tried to protect Mo Linyuan, but after Mo Linyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, he forced himself to say, “Don’t worry about me, I will definitely…we have to rescue her and bring her back! ”
Wen Feng listened to this brash order and could only hand the injured Mo Linyuan over to his other subordinates so he could go stop Ye Li. But at this moment, Ye Li had absorbed too much inner strength and his body was being pushed to its limit, so he wasn’t far from being destroyed.
He was chased until he reached the inner palace, which happened to be the palace where the emperor resided, the Hidden Dragon Palace. He then brought Ye Mu inside the emperor’s sleeping quarters.
During this time, there was not a single soul in the chamber. Since after the wounded Ye Li had rushed into the palace, he directly smashed open the outer hall entrance with a single palm strike, and as the debris fell down, it sealed the entire inner hall!
After the others caught up, they didn’t dare act rashly because Ye Mu was still in Ye Li’s hands. Most importantly, he had absorbed too much of Ye Mu’s inner force.
After the door was sealed, Ye Li released Ye Mu, who fell to the ground, coughing continuously. Ye Li also seemed to have lost all his strength, and knelt down on one knee, but he thought of something and stood up while gritting his teeth. Step by step, he walked towards the dragon bed situated in the room.
Ye Li, who already knew that the Emperor was dead, didn’t have a single expression on his face as he looked down at his corpse. Suddenly, in the next second, he tore the emperor’s head off with his bare hands!
Icy, cold blood dripped down. And if it were anyone else who had witnessed this crazy scene, they would definitely have cried out in alarm. However, Ye Mu only briefly closed her eyes before opening them wide.
“Why not?” Ye Li grabbed the head as he staggered step by step towards the stairs beside her and sat down. In the next second, the emperor’s head knocked against the ground in front of Ye Mu.
“Watch! This is what happens when a person tries to deceive me!”
Ye Mu stared at the bloody, decapitated head on the ground and her burning gaze slowly landed on Ye Li. At this moment, Ye Li’s body was covered in gruesome wounds, dripping blood. He looked none of the human is nor a ghost.
“So… only you can lie, but no one else can lie to you?”
Ye Mu’s voice was a bit hoarse, and her neck was already swollen from Ye Li’s hold. Her entire body was bathed with blood, and the stench was enough to drive a grown man to nausea.
Ye Li merely laughed in reply, “That’s right! They would rather… I will betray the world! I won’t let anyone look down on me nor play tricks on me!”
How could Ye Mu not clearly understand now? Ye Li’s brutal methods had been out of her wildest imaginations, but there was miniscule part of her that expected this from him.
“So… So those old sects of yours are actually tools for you to ascend to the throne? And if necessary, you won’t think twice about having them killed? Then all your generosity and righteousness from before was for them to blindly place their trust in you? A sham?”
“So what?” Ye Li fiercely stared at her, “If an uprising is in the plans, who wouldn’t give themselves for an honorable reason? Furthermore, once I ascend to the throne, I will truly promote everyone to become a Martial Disciple. This is because a Martial Disciple is much easier to cheat than a scholar!”
These words were truly cruel to those who had finally decided to speak of him. Ye Mu clenched her fist. “You took advantage of their trust and faith! They–aren’t they your comrades?”
When Ye Li heard this, he stared fixedly at Ye Mu and suddenly smiled…
“Then I’ll teach you another lesson.” As he said this, his chilling gaze was exactly the same as when he had killed the advisor by his side inside the treasure trove.
“…There were many ways people could be used as well. They could be used to intimidate others, be used as a bargaining chip, or the best part…can become my fuel!”
His hoarse voice was filled with pride, despite his severe injuries, “Only when you are willing to use these tactics will you be able to burst forth with the strongest power! Hope? Faith? Bah! If you want to achieve your goals, you have to use whatever you can. That’s why Mu’er, you still have a lot to learn.”
“Don’t you feel ashamed?”
