“Who is this young man making such a proclamation here?” Qin Hao was quite surprised by Ye Mo’s words. The Qin Clan and the Ye Clan had 20-year-old martial artists in the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm and even the Eighth Realm while the Xiao Clan only had Xiao Feng.

“I cannot believe the traitor of the Ye Clan is staying in the Xiao Clan,” Ye Kuang said.

“Ye Kuang, you did not expect that, right? Your Magic Seal cannot seal my Energy Center, and I have reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm.” Ye Mo said while giving Ye Kuang a hostile look.

“Traitor! So you were the one who busted into the Ye Mansion that night. Don’t think you can do whatever you want after your strength recovers. In front of Ye Changsheng, you are merely a tiny ant,” Ye Kuang sneered.

Qin Hao laughed “Yin Kuang, how could a martial artist of the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm bust into the Ye Mansion?”

“This Ye Mo is not a simple martial artist. Now that he has reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, with his Magic Weapon spear, he can even win against martial artists of the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm.” Ye Kuang said faintly, his face expressionless.

“He could only win against a martial artist of the Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm,” Qin Hao said in disdain. His two sons have recently reached the Spirit Cultivating Sixth Realm. Ye Mo was nothing in comparison to his two sons.

“Xiao Yuanshan, Ye Mo accepted the offer on behalf of you. What is your decision?”

“Ye Mo could fight and gain more properties for the Xiao Clan. Xiao Yuanshan, you should better accept it,” Qin Hao interjected.

“The offer is accepted then! Don’t think the Xiao Clan will be afraid of your challenge,” Xiao Yuanshan said.

“Good! In the next two days, the three families will send aces to separate the properties of the Mo Clan into ten portions and transport them to the Enchanted Cave. The Cave will be the location of the competition, and I will send aces to guard the cave. Three days later in the Property Competition, each of our families will send three martial artists of ages below 20 while other small families will send one martial artist each as representatives. The Clan that obtains the most properties will win the Book of the Pill Lord as a prize. We will now inform the others of this news,” Ye Kuang said.

“Then, see you all in three days!” Xiao Yuanshan said, waved his cuff, and left with Ye Mo and Xiao Feng following behind.

Watching them leaving, Qin Hao smiled and said, “If it had not been for Ye Mo, Xiao Yuanshan might not have accepted the challenge.”

“The Xiao Clan will be ruined by Ye Mo sooner or later.”

“Haha! In three days, everything in the Mo Clan will belong to the Ye and Qi Clans.”

Xiao Yuanshan, Ye Mo, and Xiao Feng left the Mo Mansion.

Ye Mo knew what Xiao Yuanshan was thinking and comforted him, “Uncle Xiao, please don’t worry. I was not boasting just now. Although I am only of the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, my real strength is far greater than that. In this competition I will surely win all the property I need that Book of the Pill Lord for my own use as well, as I have some talents in refining pills. If I can refine True Energy Pills, they can help you to reach the True Energy Realm. By that time, the Xiao Clan will really become the First Clan.”

“You can refine True Energy Pills? In order to do so, the alchemist has to practice the Fire Element Technique. Have you found the Fire Element Technique?” Xiao Yuanshan said in surprise.

“I can use the Yuanli of the Fire Element and refine Rank Two pills, but I don’t have the method of refining Rank Three pills.”

“Okay. Let’s have a gamble this time. We may not need the property, but we have to get the Book of the Pill Lord.”

Within a day, the property of the Mo Clan was confiscated under the collusion of the three big families. The value of all the training resources was equivalent to ten thousand purple gold pieces, excluding the Book of Pill Lord.

Ten thousand purple gold pieces could buy five High Grade Magic Weapon, but the Book of the Pill Lord was the most precious.

In order to develop a clan’s business, the first thing to do was to take as many resources as possible. With more resources, there would be more training resources for talents in the clan.

Every grand clan in Tianwu Kingdom spent all of their resources in training their children.

The second task was to train geniuses in the clan for them to enter the Three Major Alliances. If any one of them became a student of the inner alliance, his status would soar, and the Clan would have protection from the Three Major Alliances.

Madame Xiao and Xiao Yue had chatted for the whole day before they eventually came out from the room. Madame Xiao was a strong figure as well.

Half of the prosperity of the Xiao Clan could be attributed to Madame Xiao since she came from the Ying Clan in Tianyong City. Even though the Ying Clan was only a tier three clan in Tianyong City, the city was a capital after all, a real city of power. Even a tier three clan inside had power unmatched by the big families in Limestone City.

When Madame Xiao knew of the Property Competition,” she immediately called Xiao Yuanshan to the conference hall. From her expression, anyone could tell that she was a bit angry.

Ye Mo and Xiao Feng entered the room, and Xiao Yue was sitting beside Madame Xiao. When Xiao Yue saw Ye Mo, her expression did not show much change at all.

Madme Xiao shared several similarities with Xiao Yue. No wrinkles could be found on her face at all, so she was still beautiful like a young lady. However, her expression always remained cold and arrogant.

“Yuanshan, why did you not discuss with me before making this decision? How could the Xiao Clan find any young aces to compete with them? Other than losing the Book of the Pill Lord, we may not even get the property we deserve,” Madame Xiao scolded with a cold expression.

Xiao Yuanshan looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, “My wife, don’t we still have Xiao Feng in our clan?”

“Xiao Feng is certainly skillful and has reached the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm, but the Ye Clan and the Qin Clan have more than one ace of the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm. They clearly intend to take all the treasures of the Mo Clan. How could you become so clumsy while I was not at home these months!” Madame Xiao scolded.

Xiao Yuanshan said, “My wife, the Ye Clan and the Qin Clan were really outrageous. They bullied us for not having enough young martial artists!”

“They set up a trap and you walked right into it! Let’s see where you can find two more young aces to participate,” Madame Xiao said.

“Mother, please stop blaming father. A lot of things happened in Limestone City while you were not at home. Dad could not handle everything on his own. Now the Mo Clan has fallen, and the Qi and Ye clans clearly intended to compete with us. We cannot escape from them, so we have to face them anyway,” Xiao Yue said.

Looking at her own precious daughter, a grin appeared on Madame Xiao’s face, and she said with love and care, “Xiao Yue, I don’t mean to blame your dad, but he should discussed the issue with me in the first place. I could have asked for several aces from the Ying Clan to join the competition. Now there are only two days left. Where can we find two more aces?”

“My wife, don’t we already have three participants in this conference hall?” Xiao Yuanshan ask.

Madame Xiao heard and, for the first time, laid her eyes on Ye Mo. According to the aura around Ye Mo, he was merely a martial artist of the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, which was even weaker than her daughter.

“Who is this young man? How come I have never seen him before?” Madame Xiao asked.

“Mother, he is the Ye Mo I mentioned before. Even though he has only reached the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, he can refine pills and upgrade their ranks,” Xiao Yue said.

“So you are Ye Mo. I heard you gave Xiao Yue the Azure Light Sword you obtained with great effort from the auction.” Madame Xiao frowned. Suddenly, a string of icy air came out. A strong icy blue Yuanli bursted out from Madame Xiao and headed right at Ye Mo, forcing him to step back.

Madame Xiao’s expression went cold and she said, “What are you trying to achieve by getting close to my daughter? Give me a good explanation, or you will be forbidden to leave this mansion!”
