The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1185 - 1186: Turmoil in the Clan

When Ye Mo won the crown in the Lingwu Talent Battle, he had a secret discussion with Ancestor Zi Xuantong, where Zi Xuantong faithfully revealed his plan to Ye Mo.

He would, at an opportune time, use a strange martial art to fake his death.

His death also meant that the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan would completely break its balance, and the hidden enemies behind the scenes would all show themselves. Once they did, Zi Xuantong would systematically deal with these rebellious individuals.

And this plan was known only to him and Ye Mo.

Seeing Zi Xuan so heartbroken, Ye Mo couldn’t reveal the truth to her; he could only share in her sorrow.

A massive flying palace, traveling at a terrifying speed, headed towards the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan.

Inside the palace were two people: Ye Mo and Zi Xuan.

The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan’s ninth-grade Seal Artist, Fu Yun, had already returned to the clan ahead of them.

Upon their return to the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, they immediately sensed the atmosphere of grief, with everyone immersed in boundless sorrow.

"Someone, arrest Ye Mo and Zi Xuan for me."

As Ye Mo and Zi Xuan landed on Longwen Peak, Vice Hall Master Zixing of the Punishment chambers waved a hand, immediately sending four Law Enforcement Disciples rushing over to apprehend Ye Mo and Zi Xuan.

"Elder Zixing, what is the meaning of this?"

Ye Mo asked in a cold voice upon seeing this.

"What do I mean?"

Zixing let out a cold laugh and continued, "It seems you two still know how to return to the clan. I believe that the Ancestor’s sudden demise is directly connected to you two. Ye Mo, do you realize that by eloping with Zi Xuan, you caused relations between the Heavenly Dao and our Ancient Azure Dragon Clan to sour severely? Even though the agreement stands, it has placed our two great powers in a state of extreme tension, something that infuriated the Ancestor to the point of spitting blood."

"What? Grandfather’s demise is because of our situation?"

Zi Xuan, full of remorse, never imagined that her elopement could lead Zi Xuantong to such fury.

"Hmph!"

Zixing let out a cold snort and said, "Now you two will come with me to the Punishment chambers to receive your penalty."

"No, I must see my grandfather immediately. I will accept any punishment after I see him."

Zi Xuan insisted.

"No, the Ancestor’s corpse is currently sealed away. Ancestor Zi Shan has decreed that no one is allowed near the Ancestor’s body."

Zixing promptly responded.

"Elder Zixing, aren’t you speaking out of turn?"

At this moment, Ye Mo spoke, "Zi Xuan is also a Third-Generation Ancestor status. He has no right to stop her. With the Ancestor’s demise, the leadership of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan should fall to the Third-Generation Ancestors, and there isn’t only Ancestor Zi Shan."

"How dare you!"

Zixing’s face drastically changed, not expecting Ye Mo to utter such heretical words: "How dare you speak such treasonous words. Ancestor Zi Shan is an unparalleled figure; how could a little girl like Zi Xuan compare?"

"Zixing, are you tired of living?"

Suddenly, a graceful figure descended from the sky, landing in front of Ye Mo and Zi Xuan. It was, of course, Zi Ning. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Currently, Zi Ning had advanced to Divine Venerable One Soul, wielding formidable power. A slight movement could cause spatial ripples. Ye Mo firmly believed that his mother could slay Zixing with a single strike.

Bear in mind, when Zixing was at the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations, he could easily defeat a Divine Venerable One Soul. Although that Divine Venerable One Soul wasn’t comparable to Zixing, a formidable figure of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, Zi Ning, upon advancing to this level, was at least dozens of times stronger.

"Zi Ning!"

Upon seeing Zi Ning arrive, Zixing began to tremble. Currently, Zi Ning having ascended to Divine Venerable One Soul boasted a combat strength equivalent to Divine Venerable Three Souls. Some elders in the Elders Council stood no chance against Zi Ning.

Ye Mo eloped with Zi Xuan, yet Zi Ning directly suppressed the issue, leaving no room for objections because everywhere and at any time, strength is everything.

"Zi Ning, this is an order from Ancestor Zi Shan; it has nothing to do with me. I’m merely carrying out Ancestor Zi Shan’s orders. Would you dare defy Ancestor Zi Shan?"

With Zi Xuantong’s passing, Ancestor Zi Shan was in power. As one of Zi Shan’s people, Zixing calmed down from his initial shock, confidently speaking.

"Mother has appeared, and her power is immense now."

Ye Mo, upon seeing the arriving woman, breathed a sigh of relief. The Ancient Azure Dragon Clan was undoubtedly in chaos. Even though he knew the Ancestor was feigning death, the ones behind the scenes hadn’t emerged. They had to stabilize the situation first.

Even if they all knew it was Zi Shan, Zi Shan being a Third-Generation Ancestor stepping up to wield the reins was understandable.

"Ancestor Zi Shan? Don’t try to impose Ancestor Zi Shan’s name on me."

Zi Ning looked at Zixing and said calmly, "While Ancestor Zi Shan is a Third-Generation Ancestor, so is Zi Xuan. He remains an elder until the Elders Council makes an actual decision. Now that I am the Clan Leader of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan, he has no authority over me. Zixing, you attempted to misuse your authority by trying to capture Ye Mo and Zi Xuan. Ye Mo now, having earned the championship of the Rune Convention, is the only dual champion of Lingwu Continent. And yet you dare arrest him. I now formally strip you of your position as Vice Hall Master of the Punishment chambers."

"What?"

The Punishment chambers were astounded, looking incredulously at Ye Mo and then at Zi Ning, "Zi Ning, you don’t have the right to strip me of my role as Vice Hall Master. You need the Elders Council’s vote to remove my position. You’re blatantly misusing your power."

"Misusing power? Have you minimized your times of opposing my son and me? Aside from an Elders Council vote, there seems to be another method: abolishing your cultivation!"

Suddenly, Zi Ning drew her sword, a chilling Dragon Soul Sword Qi directly targeting Zixing’s arm with no hint of mercy. Having opposed them mother and son multiple times, now that she became Clan Leader and Ye Mo won the Rune Convention, it was natural to fight back, letting others hesitate, appreciating their prowess.

Bang!

Immediately, Zixing summoned a long stick, drawing it together and instantly blocking Zi Ning’s Dragon Soul Sword Qi.

However, once the Dragon Soul Sword Qi was dispersed, the scattered Qi gathered again, forming dozens of Sword Qi. Each Sword Qi was like a dragon, containing spiritual attacks, blasting towards Zixing, striking him continuously until he spat out blood profusely.

Zixing was a formidable Divine Venerable One Soul, but before Zi Ning, he had no room for resistance.

"Zi Ning, if you tear your mask off with me, I won’t remain courteous. Law Enforcement Disciples of the Punishment chambers, the four of you apprehend Ye Mo and Zi Xuan. If they resist, kill on sight. I’ll handle Zi Ning."

Zixing snarled with a sinister grin, roaring loudly.
