One sentence from Ye Mo caused the warriors who were planning to leave pause in their steps. Astonishment filled their faces. Someone actually dared to say something like this to an auctioneer of the Qi Clan? Did this Energy Shaping Fourth Realm kid not know to learn from the mistakes of those before him?

What happened next shocked them even more. Xiao Cao, who was known as the First Love Goddess, actually leapt into the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm kid’s embrace.

“Young master, I have never expected that it would be you!”

Ye Mo hugged Xiao Cao and stroked her hair. With a smile, he said, “You have grown taller and bigger. Even your oratory skills have improved now.”

Hu Batian and Hu Bahu were dumbfounded. The employees of Treasure Inspection Guild were dumbfounded. This was especially true for Zhan Jun. His veins were showing on his face when he saw that the goddess he had been protecting all this while had leapt into the embrace of someone else and was even calling that person young master.

“Hee hee, young master, I only have my accomplishment today thanks to Sister Qi Ying’s care,” said Xiao Cao.

“Let go of Xiao Cao!” Suddenly, a cold voice sounded and interrupted their conversation. This was Zhan Jun, the person who had defeated Sima Shenxu before, an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior.

When the people around them saw this, they prepared to watch a good show, to see what would happen to Ye Mo. Xiao Cao was alarmed and immediately let go of Ye Mo. Then, he said to Zhan Jun, “Zhan Jun, he is my young master.”

Zhan Jun was an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior. As for Ye Mo, he was an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm warrior. As far as she was concerned, Ye Mo would be on the losing end if they fought. That was why she immediately explained his status on his behalf.

“Young master?” Zhan Jun asked doubtfully. Then, he coldly spoke to Ye Mo, “I don’t care what your relationship in the past with Xiao Cao was. Xiao Cao is now a young lady of our Qi Clan and the chief appraiser of the Qi Clan. Her status is exalted and is not someone you are qualified to be with. I advise you to quickly leave her. Otherwise, what happened to Sima Shenxu will happen to you, too.”

“Your name is Zhan Jun? Are you an enforcer of the Qi Clan or something? Your cultivation level is only Energy Shaping Sixth Realm, nothing special.” Ye Mo had no fear and spoke indifferently, “I grew up with Xiao Cao. Even the clothes I am wearing were gifts she made and gave me. Do you think I will actually leave her?”

Xiao Cao glanced over at Ye Mo and found out that he was indeed wearing what she made him in the past. Hu Batian and Hu Bahu sneered when they saw this. Ye Mo had been able to defeat Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warriors since a long time ago. That Zhan Jun was far from his match.

“The past is the past. We live in the present. Xiao Cao is presently an adopted daughter of the clan leader. You are only trying to make some money off her now that she is accomplished, right? Just say it. How much money do you need? Our Qi Clan will give you the money you want,” said Zhan Jun.

Xiao Cao’s expression became unsightly when she heard this. She knew Ye Mo well. Zhan Jun saying this was no different than insulting his character.

“The Qi Clan is paying me? Can you even speak on behalf of the Qi Clan?” Ye Mo sneered and continued, “Have you forgotten who used 20 Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda Seals to bid for half the ruined map? It was me. Do you know what that means? It means I am an official second order sealing artist. Do you think someone like me will lack money?”

“You...” Zhan Jun was speechless. A second order sealing artist, especially one capable of refining Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda Seal, would be someone the various major powers would try roping in. Someone like that would not lack money. But Zhan Jun couldn’t understand how an Energy Shaping Fourth Realm warrior could also be a sealing artist capable of refining a Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda Seal at the same time.

“So what if you’re a second order sealing artist? You are still unqualified to be with Xiao Cao. Since you think that my cultivation of Energy Shaping Sixth Realm is nothing, I’ll let you have a taste of my strength. First form of Divine Destruction Blade: Fast as Lightning!” Suddenly, Zhan Jun started howling. Numerous palm images started surging forward like a tsunami and headed towards Ye Mo.

Just like that, Ye Mo stood there motionless and gazed at him coldly, looking like someone who was standing there in stupefaction from the shock. The attack landed on Ye Mo’s body, creating a huge sound of explosion. As for Xiao Cao, she was instantly sent flying away from the impact of the collision. However, an old man immediately appeared and grabbed onto her.

“Second form of Divine Destruction Blade, third form, fourth form.”

A powerful wave of Yuanli erupted from Zhan Jun. In his fury, he unleashed the strongest technique he knew. Like a tornado, he unleashed a boundless saber aura that all crashed onto Ye Mo’s body. However, Ye Mo was unmoved. He stood there and did not so much as budge despite the numerous attacks clashing onto his body.

When the people around them saw this, everyone lamented inwardly that Zhan Jun was really powerful. He was probably no weaker than the league members of the three major leagues. Xiao Cao was so worried, her face paled.

“No!”

Zhan Jun did not hear what she said. His aura continued climbing to the peak until he unleashed the full power of his technique, trying to kill Ye Mo then and there. Suddenly, Ye Mo moved. He shook his arm before slowly stretching out. Then, he opened up his palm. His palm was like the palm of the fiends and gods that once again descended upon this world, unleashing the fury in his heart.

Zhan Jun’s eyes went wide as he saw the approaching palm. He could not understand what was going on. All the attacks he had unleashed were instantly defeated by this single palm.

Bang!

A huge dragon claw sprang out of the palm and directly grabbed Zhan Jun by his neck. Instantly, he felt his body emptied of all energy. Slowly, Ye Mo pulled him close. Zhan Jun could feel that the present him was the same as the earlier Sima Shenxu — a lamb waiting for slaughter. This time, the person in charge wasn’t him, but Ye Mo instead.

“You can’t even withstand a single blow.” Ye Mo spoke extremely calmly. Everyone here was shocked. Regardless of whether they were the geniuses of the different clans or the higher echelons of the different clans, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. An Energy Shaping Sixth Realm had unleashed a full-powered attack on Ye Mo yet Ye Mo was completely fine. Moreover, he had been able to subdue an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior with such an ease.

Xiao Cao was also staring with her eyes wide, shock filling her entire face. She had never expected that this would be the result of their clash.

“When had young master become so strong?”

“How can you be so powerful?” Zhan Jun looked at Ye Mo in disbelief and continued, “What cultivation technique did you practice? How can you ignore the attacks of an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm with your cultivation level of Energy Shaping Fourth Realm?”

“You are not even qualified to question me. I only want you to know that regardless of whether Xiao Cao is the Qi Clan leader’s adopted daughter or the chief auctioneer of your Qi Clan, she is still mine,” Ye Mo declared.

“So what if you can defeat me? Xiao Cao is a woman Young Master Cao had chosen to be his wife. If Young Master Cao found out about you and her, you will definitely die a miserable death,” Zhan Jun suddenly calmed down and said with a sneer.

Swish!

Zhan Jun was directly tossed to the side. Ye Mo then said, “Young Master Cao? Regardless of who he is, anyone who dares to touch my woman will suffer a miserable end.”

Young Master Cao? Was he a bigger shot than the emperor? Ye Mo dusted off his palms and slowly walked towards Xiao Cao.
