Chapter 430: Wagering Ten Spirit Weapons

Listening to the emperor’s words, Ye Mo was greatly shocked. Wasn’t the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord the powerful evil spirit subdued by the Dragon God in the past? That was an evil spirit that even Ling’er was terrified of.

“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord? What do you mean?” Ye Mo asked doubtfully.

The Luosha Emperor spoke deferentially, “In truth, I am a survivor from the primordial era. Simply put, I am a human once rescued by the Luosha Spirit Clan. You once bestowed upon me a formidable power. But due to my poor talent, I am still stuck at the Transcendence Realm. During your death, you told me that the person who can form the Evil Spirit Rank will be your reincarnation. That was the whole reason I established this kingdom, awaiting your appearance.”

In truth, the reason why Ye Mo could form the Evil Spirit Rank Luosha Mark was because he had devoured the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord and still had vestiges of his aura in his body. After absorbing a large amount of energy from the pool, he was able to form the mark.

“Oh? But I can’t remember any of it.” Ye Mo guessed the truth, but he still pretended to be confused.

“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, you once told me that upon reincarnation, you might lose your memory and will only remember everything upon reaching the Transcendence Realm. I am waiting for you to recover your full might and conquer the entire Zone of Desolation. At that time, not even the Door of Desolation will be your match,” said the Luosha Emperor.

“Stand up,” Ye Mo said. “Although I can’t remember, be sure to never expose my identity. The current me is still too weak. If I attract some unwanted attention, it could be troublesome.”

“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, that was why I invited you into the palace,” said the emperor deferentially.

“Well, I’ll be leaving then. I need to cultivate properly to recover my strength and regain Hell’s Gate again,” said Ye Mo indifferently.

The Hell’s Gate was a primordial martial technique used by the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord. In the present day, not many people knew of it.

When Luosha Emperor heard the term Hell’s Gate, his eyes lit up and he was even more assured of Ye Mo’s identity as the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord.

Suddenly, Xu Fu’s voice sounded from outside. “Emperor, Xu Fu seeks an audience.”

“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, do you want to rest in my palace or do you prefer a different arrangement?” the emperor asked.

“Just call me Ye Mo in the future. How many days will it take to travel to the Door of Desolation?” Ye Mo asked.

“The trip will take 10 days. In other words, to reach there, it will be best for you to depart tomorrow,” said the emperor.

“I will start my journey right now.”

“But Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, what about your current strength?”

“Don’t worry. I didn’t even use my full strength when I defeated Wang Tianxiao.”

Ye Mo’s words successfully dispelled the emperor’s worry.

Then, the emperor tidied up his clothing and shifted his expression back to normal before saying loudly, “You may enter.”

The door opened and Xu Fu slowly walked inside.

“Salutations, Emperor.” Xu Fu glanced at Ye Mo before bowing to the emperor.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” asked the emperor with a frown.

Xu Fu spoke directly without any regard for Ye Mo. “I hope you can take back what you said earlier. This Ye Mo merely obtained the token through sheer luck. I hope that the actual top three geniuses from our kingdom will be the ones to enter the Door of Desolation.”

“Xu Fu, have you forgotten my words at the Asura Field? Regardless of whether Ye Mo has relied on luck or strength, it is a fact that he is one of the top three. If I canceled his qualification, how will the sects, clans, and tribes look at us in the royal family?” said the emperor coldly.

“Emperor, this won’t be hard to deal with. We only need to shut Ye Mo’s mouth. I have worked tirelessly for the kingdom my whole life and this is my sole wish. I hope the emperor can grant me this,” said Xu Fu righteously with a bow.

He was an important official of Luosha Kingdom and had contributed greatly to the kingdom. When he asked for the emperor for something like this, the emperor was unlikely to refuse him.

Ye Mo spoke with a frosty tone, “Lord Xu Fu, what do you mean? I know my status is not comparable to yours. Even if you kill me right here, the emperor won’t do anything to you. But you keep claiming that you do this for the sake of the kingdom. How are you so sure that I won’t be able to join the Door of Desolation? How are you sure that Xu Wuji would be able to join?”

When the emperor heard this, fury rose in his heart as well. What exactly was this Xu Fu trying to do here? If he angered the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, even killing him would not be sufficient to quell the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord’s fury. Once upon a time, the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord was able to split the heavens and earth with a single wave of his hand. That left a deep impression and fear in the heart of the Luosha Emperor. Even if the current Ye Mo was no longer as powerful, the moment he thought of how Ye Mo was the reincarnation of the Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, a deep fear emerged in his heart.

The moment the emperor thought of this, he became completely furious. He raised his brows, and Xu Fu was able to immediately sense that the emperor was angry. He was immensely shocked. Why would the emperor be angry with him over an insignificant individual?

“Fine, since that is the case, how about we set a bet. You will fight Xu Wuji. If you win, naturally, you are qualified to head to Door of Desolation. If you are defeated, you need to hand over the Luosha Token.” Xu Fu forced himself to finish his sentence in the face of the emperor’s fury.

It was not easy to get a chance to join the Door of Desolation. Their Xu Clan had exhausted everything they had to cultivate Xu Wuji. How could he let go of this chance?

When the emperor heard that, fear crossed his face. He felt like choking Xu Fu to death right this instant.

“The Luosha Token is already mine. If I win, you won’t lose anything but if I lose, I will have to give up my token. This is unfair,” said Ye Mo with a sneer. He then clasped his hands towards the emperor and said, “I hope the emperor can give me justice.”

“Ye Mo, don’t worry. Nobody can hope to take your Luosha Token away. Xu Fu, you may leave,” said the emperor with a wave of his hand.

“Emperor!” Xu Fu was alarmed. Again, he clasped his hands and said, “Emperor, my Xu Clan has been striving for our kingdom all the while, all three generations of our family have given our lives to the kingdom. The only thing I want is to properly nurture Wuji so he can gain the great dao and return to help you in the future. I hope the emperor can rethink this.”

The Luosha Emperor was in a hard place. In truth, this Xu Fu was indeed a faithful official who had contributed greatly to the kingdom.

“Lord Xu Fu, you can stop making things difficult for the emperor. I am willing to take the bet, but the token is already mine. I can accept giving you the token if I lose, but if Wuji is the loser, what will you give me?” Ye Mo asked when he saw that the emperor was in a hard place. This Xu Fu would probably not give up. He had no intention to reveal his identity either. If the emperor killed Xu Fu for his sake, chaos would ensue. He might as well prove his strength.

Xu Fu’s eyes brightened and he asked, “Oh? What do you want?”

“I am sure Lord Xu Fu is aware of the value of a Luosha Token. I want 10 Spirit Weapons.”
