Chapter 314 - Killing Cao Sanshi

The black-clothed man reminded Ye Mo not to put the key inside his Dimensional Bracelet, as it would be confiscated after he gets caught.
Ye Mo kept his own Dimensional Bracelet in the Qingyun League and took a new one with him, nonchalantly putting some items inside before leaving the Qingyun League.
The Spring Night Tower, Wind Moon Tower, and the Million Flower Tower were the three main places of desire in the Heaven’s Wall City.
It was already deep into the night by the time Ye Mo had reached the Heaven’s Wall City. The Spring Night Tower was still bustling. It was three stories tall, and the building was beautifully decorated with lit candles bright lanterns, and the place filled with song and dance.
Having been in the Spring Night Tower once before, Ye Mo calmly entered the place.
Casually wrapping his arm around one of the hostesses and taking out a few pills, he brought her upstairs.
The hostess was decent-looking and smiled when she saw how anxious Ye Mo was to bring her to a room.
On the second floor, there were already plenty of drunkards, with men and women lying on top of each other. It was quite a scene indeed.
Ye Mo walked past all of them without even looking.
“Mister, are you inexperienced? I’ll have to return you your pills and ask for an extra fee.” Seeing what was happening, the hostess that Ye Mo had his arms around couldn’t help but smile. For someone to feel embarrassed even in a place like this, he must be inexperienced.
“You’ll see how skilful I am later.”
Ye Mo scanned his surroundings. He saw a man clad in Imperial Guard uniform walking into a room with his arm around the waist of a woman.
“Mister, you are so handsome. If you are as wild as you claim to be, I will definitely have a good time,” Xiao Jiao said as she pushed open the door of one of the rooms, pulling Ye Mo inside. Ye Mo took a step inside before walking out a second later. He had knocked out the hostess named Xiao Jiao and left her inside the room.
Ye Mo walked towards the room that the Imperial Guard entered. Stabbing through the window paper, he saw the guard enjoying a drink with a woman on his arm, while his other arm continuously rubbed and squeezed the woman’s body, seemingly extremely satisfied.
“Haha, smile for me.”
Bang, bang, bang!
Ye Mo knocked on the door.
“Who is it? Disturbing me when I’m having a good time.” The Imperial Guard shouted out, annoyed. However, his hand still continued to move, and the woman’s face filled with enjoyment
“The lady boss asked me to gift you another pot of wine,” said Ye Mo.
“Haha, wine, great!” The guard walked unsteadily to the door, but after he opened the door, he saw Ye Mo standing there with nothing in his hands.
“Where’s the wine?”
Before the guard could finish, Ye Mo strangled his neck with one hand and walked into the room.
“Oh my god!”
Seeing Ye Mo walk in so aggressively, the hostess hid in a corner in fear.
“Where is Cao Sanshi?” Ye Mo’s grip loosened, allowing the Imperial Guard to take a breather.
“Who are you? The nerve of you to attack an Imperial Guard.” The guard kept trying to channel his energy. However, no matter how hard he tried, it was as if his energy had stopped flowing.
Ye Mo increased his strength further as he asked. “Cut the nonsense, where is Cao Sanshi?”
“A room on the third floor!”
“You spoke too late.” Grabbing the neck of the guard, Ye Mo flung him across the room before a light blade was unleashed, splitting him into half. Blood splattered and sprayed everywhere.
The hostess, with eyes wide open, became pale white as she immediately fainted out of sheer shock.
Withdrawing his attack, Ye Mo left the room and immediately headed for the third floor.
There was a room which was the biggest on that floor. From afar, Ye Mo could barely make out some sounds – the panting noise of a man, the screams of pleasure of a woman.
Furthermore, it sounded like there were two female voices – two different voices intertwined together, creating a pleasing melody.
“This Cao Sanshi sure knows how to enjoy himself!”
Ye Mo slowly walked towards the room. Separated by the paper window, Ye Mo could briefly see a man and two women having a good time together.
“Cao Sanshi sure knows how all about pleasure. This thing between man and woman, is it always this satisfying?”
Seeing Can Sanshi hard at work, he could not help but reveal a sheepish smile. He had experienced it once too. However, at that time, he had been poisoned and had no idea what was happening.
“How about you go try it with those two girls after killing this Cao Sanshi?” Ling’er laughed teasingly.
“How about I try it with you?” Ye Mo let out a wicked laugh before his expression turned serious as he kicked open the door.
Bang!
“Who is so blind to disturb me when I’m having a good time?”
Hearing the banging noise, Cao Sanshi slapped the bottoms of the hostesses, signaling them to move aside. Following that, he pulled up his pants as he walked to the door, furious.
“Someone who is here to kill you!” Ye Mo did not want to waste time talking nonsense with him. He generated a dragon spear in his hand and unleashed a strike towards him.
“You are?”
Seeing Ye Mo’s dragon spear, Cao Sanshi felt something familiar. However, as the blade neared him, he also generated a long spear immediately and stabbed towards the blade.
Clang!
The spearheads collided!
Immediately, sparks flew and shot out in all directions, the huge force tearing the room apart as the entire Spring Night Tower started to shake.
Cao Sanshi was sent flying.
In an instant, Ye Mo shifted to Cao Sanshi’s side and sent a swift kick to his crotch. A shattering sound was heard, followed by a pained scream.
Cao Sanshi clutched his crotch in pain as he stared at Ye Mo with a face of hatred. Looking at Ye Mo’s long spear, a realization came crashing down on him.
“You are Ye Mo?” Cao Sanshi understood in an instant – he could not be more familiar with that black dragon spear.
“That’s right, I am indeed Ye Mo. Cao Sanshi, you are the one who caused me to be almost killed by Cao Zheng. Xiao Cao also ended up having to marry him against her will. If I don’t kill you today, I will not be able to rid myself of this hatred in my heart.”
If not for Cao Sanshi, none of this would have happened!
Ye Mo’s tone was flat, but his words were filled with rage, instilling fear in Cao Sanshi.
Ye Mo’s appearance at the Spring Night Tower today was not one by chance. He must have studied about his whereabouts and was here with the intention of killing him.
“Ye Mo, if you kill me, you will end up with Yao Yue, the first in the Qingyun League Qingyun Rankings, in the Luosha Prison. As a member of the Luosha Prison myself, I know how cruel things can be inside those walls. Your Energy Center will be sealed off by the Five Thunder Seal, your body restrained by Energy Restraining Rope, and you will have to suffer the punishment of the Luosha Punishment from the Luosha Formation every day, a fate worse than death.”
Having failed his mission of ambushing the carriage team, he was transferred to the Luosha Prison as a guard there, which gave him a deep understanding about how scary the Luosha Prison was.
“What is the Luosha Punishment?” Ye Mo raised his eyebrows as he asked.
“It is having your soul eaten by Luosha Evil Ghosts. Every day, there will be hundreds and thousands of Luosha Evil Ghosts eating away at your soull. With the fighter’s Energy Center sealed off, there is no way that they will be able to endure this type of suffering. Some fighters, deciding to plead for death instead as they are not able to withstand the Luosha Punishment, channel their energy and die from the antiphrastic reaction of the seal.”
Seeing that Ye Mo started to appear hesitant, Cao Sanshi started to laugh mockingly.
This Luosha Punishment was the most serious punishment in the entire kingdom. Even fighters in the True Energy Realm would struggle to withstand it with their Energy Centers sealed off.
Hearing that, a look of worry appeared on Ye Mo’s face. Thinking about Sister Yao Yue such sufferings, he started to become infuriated. His face became pale as well.
“Haha, are you scared now? If you let me off, let us bury the hatchet, how about that?” Cao Sanshi immediately started laughing wildly upon seeing Ye Mo’s expression.
“All the more reason for you to die!”
Ye Mo unleashed a spear strike, and a light blade shone brightly, directly landing on Cao Sanshi’s head. Blood spluttered out from his neck, and on his face, an expression of wild laughter remained.
“Ahhhhhhh, there’s been a murder!”
Upon seeing what had just unfolded, the two naked hostesses were immediately sent into shock.

The two naked hostesses were terrified, having never seen anything like this before. They dropped the clothes that they were using to cover their bodies.
“Did I just kill someone?” Ye Mo said calmly.
“No, you did not!” The two hostesses were smart enough to reply in this way, immediately shaking their heads as they came back to their senses.
“Are you two blind? Did you not see me kill someone?” Ye Mo was somewhat speechless.
“No, yes, yes, you just killed Master Cao Sanshi.”
The hostess was about to say “no,” before immediately changing her statement upon seeing Ye Mo, who looked like he was about to erupt.
“Since I killed someone, what should the two of you do?”
“Call… call someone to catch you.” The two women’s faces were filled with fear, their voices trembling.
“That’s right. The two of you, quit your jobs as prostitutes. Help me do something, and I’ll give this bag of Mixed Energy Pills to you two.”
Ye Mo took out a bag of Mixed Energy Pills from his Dimensional Bracelet and threw it to the two ladies.
“What is it?”
“Call someone to arrest me. All you have to do is honestly tell those Imperial Guards what you just saw.”
Hearing that, the two women were shocked to the point that they fainted.
From their perspective, Ye Mo was purposely toying with them, killing someone, l spending money on them, and instructing them to send for someone to arrest him.
Looking at the two unconscious ladies, Ye Mo smiled helplessly.
Retrieving Cao Sanshi’s Dimensional Bracelet and breaking the seal, after a brief search, Ye Mo found a bunch of keys inside.
Among the keys was a key with a Luosha Ghost Head picture on it. Taking the key out, he placed the rest of the bunch of keys back into Cao Sanshi’s Dimensional Bracelet.
Not long after, a flurry of footsteps could be heard. Walking to the window, Ye Mo saw a huge group of Imperial Guards making a beeline to the Spring Night Tower.
Ye Mo jumped straight down from the Spring Night Tower, landing on the ground like a thousand-pound giant boulder. Filled with authority, he created a huge hole in the ground.
“That thief is there, don’t let him escape!”
Ye Mo laughed coldly as he glanced at the Imperial Guards whose gazes have already locked onto him. Following that, he turned in a dark shadow and left in a flash.
If he wanted to enter the Luosha Prison, he naturally had to avoid their capture on purpose.
If he needed to put on a show, he was going to put on a good one for them.
Furthermore, there was no harm killing some of these Cao Clan Imperial Guards.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the night sky, under the cold moon, a dark shadow soared past the roofs, shooting into the distance.
Behind the shadow was a huge group of Imperial Guards, who had all extended their wings and soared into the sky, forming a formation in mid-air. The hundreds of Imperial Guards formed an All-encompassing Net in the sky and charged towards Ye Mo.
This formation was a speciality of the Cao Clan Imperial Guards. One would have to break through the All-encompassing Net in order to escape capture.
With hundreds of Energy Shaping Sixth Realm and above fighters coming together to create this formation, it was indeed an extremely powerful force.
Facing the Imperial Guards, Ye Mo’s eyes sparkled. This time, he did not use his black dragon spear. Instead, he used both his fists. With Dragon Power imbued in both fists, he flung his whole body towards the All-encompassing Net.
He wanted to use both his fists to destroy the net completely.
Ye Mo unleashed multiple punches, creating a wind-piercing noise. With the Voice of the Dragon, it resembled an ancient beast tearing apart its prey.
In an instant, Ye Mo found a weakness in the formation. Channeling 300 rays of Giant Dragon Power, the roar of the Dragon, a single punch sent tens of guards flying down from the sky.
With the formation under pressure, these guards were even less of a competition for Ye Mo now. In the next instant, hundreds of Imperial Guards dropped down from the sky one by one.
The defeated guards understood that Ye Mo was no average Joe and immediately sent out a signal for back-up.
Indeed, the moment the signal was sent out, Ye Mo could feel a ray of True Energy locking onto him.
“A Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter!” Ye Mo immediately detected it – only fighters in the Heaven’s Gate Realm were able to do that.
“The nerve of you, kid, to run wild in the Heaven’s Gate City. Take away his energy source and send him to the Luosha Prison to interrogate him. If there’s any resistance, kill him immediately!” These words from the Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter were said as if he was reciting a vow, with every word creating an impact on Ye Mo’s chest.
Ye Mo immediately dropped to the ground. As he withdrew his energy, two Imperial Guards immediately captured him.
Suddenly, Ling’er immediately shouted from inside the Energy Center. “Ye Mo, quickly! Escape!”
He could only see the Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter floating in the sky. In his hand was a seal, but not the Five Thunder Seal. The seal had a White Tiger glowing on it.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Mo asked. While he knew that the Heaven’s Gate Realm fighter wanted to seal off his Energy Center, with the Rising Dragon Pillars, he had no fear.
“The seal in his hand is drawn using the White Tiger Heartstone. The Rising Dragon Pillar is not able to absorb this stuff,” Ling’er said anxiously.
“What?”
Ye Mo was completely taken aback by the fact that it was possible to cultivate a seal using beasts’ heartstones. The Rising Dragon Pillar could only absorb energy, but not these heartstones’ True Energy.
However, it was already too late!
He send a palm strike that landed right on Ye Mo’s abdomen.
“Urgh!” Ye Mo instantly felt the energy inside his body shrinking at an extreme speed. The energy in his veins all withdrew into the Energy Center, and the energy in the Five Main Entrances dissipated as well.
The White Tiger Seal Text was inscribed onto Ye Mo’s whole body and all of his veins and entrances like a tattoo. The text of the tiger head was imprinted right on his Energy Center.
When Ye Mo tried awakening his energy, the white tiger tattoo surfaced, flashing.
At that moment, it was the first time that Ye Mo felt weak. Without his Energy Center functioning, he become a commoner who could not even be compared to a Spirit Cultivating Realm fighter.
Following that, an Imperial Guard took out an Energy Restraining Rope and tied up both of Ye Mo’s hands.
“Are you from the Martial Faction? If you aren’t going to answer, someone will make you tell the truth and give up the whole name list of the Martial Clan, one by one.” After speaking, the Heaven’s Gate Realm middle-aged man waved his arm. “Take him away!”
The Luosha Prison got its name from Luosha, the cannibal demon from hell. Once one entered the prison, there was no way of release, nor any method to escape.
The Luosha Prison was built by the Li Royal Family, the first generation of the Tianwu Kingdom. They were situated in the Luosha Mountain Range, which was not far from the Heaven’s Wall City.
A lion eagle which was at least fifteen feet tall flew across the Heaven’s Wall City. On its back, it carried a giant steel cage. The four corners of the steel cage had four Imperial Guards protecting it, all of them were in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm.
The giant lion eagle stopped at one of the mountain ranges, slowly descending. The four guards placed the steel cage down.
A closer look revealed who was in the cage: Ye Mo.
Following that, Ye Mo was dragged by the four guards towards a cave.
“Heh, the nerve to come to Heaven’s Wall City to kill people. You’re out of your mind, one of the guards said, immediately taking Ye Mo’s Dimensional Bracelet. He continued, “This shall be the payment for us taking all this effort to send you here.” Entering the cave, it was completely pitch black. After walking for a few minutes, the cave became brighter. Ahead, a giant Luosha Ghost Entrance could be seen. On both sides stood two Luosha guards, with Luosha masks worn on their faces.
“Dear Luosha members, this person’s name is unknown, but he openly killed members of the royalty in Heaven’s Wall City. The higher-up has instructed us to torture him for information, forcing him to spill any useful intel he may have.”
As the four guards spoke, they took out a few Mixed Energy Pills from Ye Mo’s Dimensional Bracelet and handed them to the two Luosha members.
They were not fools – they knew that the four of them had definitely taken Ye Mo’s Dimensional Bracelet, and they were going to get their share as well.
“Don’t worry, there will be enough for him to suffer once he enters the Luosha Prison. A member of the Martial Faction was captured last time. After receiving the Luosha Punishment, he could no longer take the suffering, and we managed to force a name list of Martial Faction members out of him. It has been handed over to General Huang Shihu.”
