Hearing the black-robed man’s words, the disciples of Hell Dao Palace all released their True Energy Armor. Some even pulled out their weapons. With their armor ready, they were ready to fight the black-robed man at any time. He did not come with good intentions, and he was too powerful to be careless.

There were more than 20 new disciples from the Hell Dao Palace. They all had True Energy Armor on them, weapons ready, with True Energy running in their body, ready to attack at the slightest provocation. Against such a group, even experts in the peak Spirit Devour Realm would have reason to fear. But the blacked-robed man had dared to come and threaten them.

“You must be Gu Yuan of the Ancient Clan, the talented youth from the Zone of Desolation’s Demon Rock Valley.” The black-robed man laughed. “You’re in the late Spirit Devour Realm. It’s said that you broke through the Three Mortal Gates as soon as you were born. You have Mortal Gates with True Energy, which means you’re far stronger than ordinary martial artists. Your strength is comparable to the peak Spirit Devour Realm. In particular, after you comprehended the Will of Hell Dao, your cultivation became more terrifying. I know who you are. Compared to me, you are still weak.”

“You? How do you know so much about me?” Gu Yuan asked with surprise. He did not expect the man to talk about his cultivation road. This person had come prepared.

“I’ll tell you when you’re dead.” The black-robed man said. He leaned forward and turned into a shadow heading straight for Gu Yuan. He punched out towards Gu Yuan with a huge Flame Palm that burned the air.

“Humph!”

Gu Yuan snorted and punched out. His punch had the Will of Hell Dao. It was like the Devil of Hell as it roared toward the Flame Palm.

Boom!

The earth-shattering collision was deafening. Gu Yuan retreated a few steps and the black-robed man shot a few meters backward in the air. He managed to stabilize himself by opening his Flame Wings.

The Hell Dao Palace disciples looked on in shock. To think there was a martial artist in the late Spirit Devour Realm, who could fight equally with Gu Yuan by relying on strength alone.

“This black-robed man is so strong. Do you think Gu Yuan can beat them?” Nangong Yurou asked nervously.

“Hard to say,” Ye Mo said. “This Gu Yuan has opened his Three Mortal Gates. It’s enough to challenge those a few levels above. But the black-robed man dared to come alone, which means he has ways to fight Gu Yuan. Let’s wait and see. If Gu Yuan cannot continue, then I will intervene.”

“You want to interfere?” Nangong Yurou said with surprise.

“If I face the black-robed man alone, I’m not confident that I can defeat him. We might as well give him a helping hand,” Ye Mo said. “If I team up with Gu Yuan, we won’t be afraid of anyone who isn’t a half-step in the Transcendence Realm.” He had already formalized his plan. It would be difficult for him to act alone and try to save Xiao Yue. So, he had to collect ten Desolate Ancient Pearls as soon as possible.

“Brother, let’s kill him together,” one of the Beast Palace disciples said.

“Don’t act rashly,” Gu Yuan said. “This guy’s strong, not your average late Spirit Devour Realm martial artist. You guys move out of the way. I want to use my Demon Rock Valley Clan’s martial arts technique.” A pearl appeared in his hand. It was the size of a fist, and it emitted a pale grey light.

“Have you finally taken out the Demon Rock Heavenly Pearl?” the black-robed man asked, eyes shining with glee. “It’s said to be the essence of earth and rock. It can absorb all the rocks and produce a powerful force.”

“You even know about the Demon Rock Heavenly Pearl? Then, I’ll let you test its strongest power,” Gu Yuan said as the bead in his hand shot towards the black-robed man. Gu Yuan’s hands quickly followed it with a Magic Seal.

All of a sudden, the ground and the valley began to rumble and crack. A huge stone was attracted by the Demon Rock Heavenly Pearl. A massive meteorite was formed, more than 30 meters wide. It fell from the sky towards the black-robed man. Even experts in the Transcendence Realm would feel small standing in front of the meteorite.

“The Demon Rock Heavenly Pearl is unexpectedly strong,” The black-robed man said. His eyes narrowed. He was already holding the Treasure Sword behind his back.

“Fire of Nine Days!” The black-robed man said. Suddenly, nine streams of Flame Shadows appeared in the air. Each shadow was anchored on the weapon in the black-robbed man’s hand as they attacked the huge rock. The Flame Sword Beam maneuvered to envelop the entire rock.

Boom boom boom!

The sky kept rumbling as meteorites continued falling.

“Pure Demonic Flame? Can it melt through every rock? ” Gu Yuan could feel the power of the Demon Rock Heavenly Pearl had gradually weakened. His opponent’s flame had burned through all the rocks.

“Haha! My flame is the legendary Pure Demon Rock Flame,” the black-robed man said. “It specializes in countering rocks. It can melt through any rock you could throw at me.”

“Can your Pure Demonic Flame also melt my weapon?” a cold voice asked. before he could react, a cold spearhead had pierced his chest.

“Who are you?” The black-robed man was shocked that someone could sneak attack him. There hadn’t been even the faintest sound.

“You don’t have to know who I am.” Ye Mo pulled out his Sky Blood Spear. One kick knocked the black-robed man to the ground.

Ye Mo’s Will of Slaughter was a Hidden Force, and its attack had no fluctuations. Unless an expert was half-step into the Transcendence Realm, they couldn’t escape Ye Mo’s assassination.

Gu Yuan and the others were also surprised to see Ye Mo.

“So, it’s Ye Mo from the Asura Palace. Thank you for your help.” Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. His opponent’s Pure Demonic Flame had completely countered his technique.

Ye Mo nodded and walked slowly over to see the black-robed man. He was half kneeling in the pit and gasping for air.

“Are you from the First Heaven Society?” Ye Mo asked coldly.

“Ye Mo from the Asura Palace,” the black-robed man croaked out. “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. Such a great assassination. It seems You’ve beaten me today.”

“You didn’t answer my question,” Ye Mo said. “Are you from the First Heaven Society? Where did you take the young madam?”

“She’s in the valley on the east side. If you want to save her, then you trade 10 Desolate Ancient Pearls for her life,” The black-robed man said coldly.

“Then you admit that you are from the First Heaven Society?” Ye Mo smiled coldly, as he waved the Sky Blood Spear in his hand. The attack created a crescent arc that cut the black-robed man in half.

The Hell Dao Palace disciples gulped in unison when they saw Ye Mo’s decisiveness to kill.

“Brother Gu Yuan, has the Hell Dao Palace disciples collected 10 Desolate Ancient Pearls?” Ye Mo asked.

Without hesitation, he took the black-robed man’s Spirit Weapon and gave his Dimensional Bracelet to Gu Yuan.

“You want to go save the young madam?” Gu Yuan asked, surprised.

“Yes.” Ye Mo nodded. “You can trust me. I’ll bring back your pearls in 10 days.”

“Ye Mo, you helped us a lot today,” Gu Yuan said. “But these Desolate Ancient Pearls weren’t easy to collect. And the kidnappers are an unknown group of people. You don’t know how strong they are. How confident are you that you can successfully rescue the young madam and returning our ten Ancient Desolate Pearls after?”

If he saved the young madam, then after the trial ended the young society head would certainly reward him. But to do that, he would have to survive the rescue.

“Can I vouch for him?” Nangong Yurou slowly walked out. She took out a fiery red, translucent Pill from her Dimensional Bracelet. It had a faint fire dragon shadow.

“A rank five pill, the Fire Dragon Pill?” Everyone was shocked. Who was this lady in front of them that she could take out a rank five pill?
