The red radiance faded and calm returned to the palace. The energy within the pool was gone, while the palace was in an utter mess with cracks everywhere. As for the Luosha Emperor, he was lying weakly on the ground.
“What’s happening? The moment that red beam shot out, the Luosha Emperor was killed?” Ye Mo shook his head. He scanned the room and found that the dragon projection was long gone.
However, Ye Mo also knew that the Dragon God’s Will had once again rescued him from a crisis using a godlike method.
“Wait, the Luosha Emperor is still breathing. The Redbone Horseape should be the one who has died.” Ye Mo was alarmed to find that the Luosha Emperor was gasping for breath on the floor.
Ye Mo spoke coldly while gazing at the Luosha Emperor who was on the ground, “A puny Redbone Horseape dares to try to possess my body? Courting death.”
“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, please forgive me,” said the Luosha Emperor with fear on his face. He immediately prostrated himself before Ye Mo.
He had no idea what had happened earlier, but he knew he unleashed his Transcendence Golden Body when under the control of the Redbone Horseape earlier. Yet his Transcendence Golden Body’s connection with the natural energy of the world had been severed by Ye Mo with a single attack. That was something he had never seen before.
“Hmph. What exactly happened earlier? If you don’t properly explain yourself, you should be aware of the consequences,” Ye Mo said with a sharp gaze, acting unlike he was speaking to a Transcendence Realm expert.
“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, when I encountered that Redbone Horseape, he was already dead. I still have his corpse preserved, but his spirit had been greatly damaged, resulting in him residing within my body,” said the Luosha Emperor with a trembling voice.
“Is that so? Why did you try to possess my body, then?” Ye Mo asked coldly.
The Luosha Emperor explained fearfully, “It’s him! It’s all him! It has nothing to do with me. In my heart, you are an unparalleled existence. I would never do something like that!”
“Fine. I don’t think you would dare betray me anyway. But that Redbone Horseape is too brave. Does he dare to set his eyes on my body? Where is his body?” Ye Mo asked coldly, his face frosty.
“Evil Luosha Spirit Lord, I will take you there right now,” said the Luosha Emperor as he nodded his head repeatedly. He then took Ye Mo to a hidden room. The room was incredibly spacious and was filled with countless weapons and pills.
The most conspicuous object within the room was the large body of a monkey. The monkey was sat upright on a throne, and its entire body was filled with gold and blue fur. It had a staff in its hand and despite its death, its body still emanated a mighty presence. Looking at the body, Ye Mo knew that he would not be able to damage that body even if he tried his best.
“That Redbone Horseape dared to conspire against me. I shall end him in both body and soul. You, go, retrieve his Heart-stone,” Ye Mo said expressionlessly.
“What? Retrieve his Heart-stone?” The Luosha Emperor cried out in alarm.
Ye Mo said with a commanding tone, “I want his Heart-stone. Quick, retrieve it.”
“Yes!” The Luosha Emperor nodded. He did not dare to disobey. After forming an energy saber in his hand, he cleaved it across the monkey’s head. Instantly, a huge blue Heart-Stone popped out. With a wave of his hand, the Heart-Stone was pulled into his palm. He then presented the Heart-Stone to Ye Mo.
“Your Heart-Stone, Evil Luosha Spirit Lord,” said the Luosha Emperor deferentially.
Ye Mo accepted the Heart-stone and put it away before saying, “Remember, do not reveal anything that has happened today. Till I recover my full strength, I am still Ye Mo and you are still the Luosha Emperor. Do you hear me?”
“Yes!” Luosha Emperor answered. “Ye Mo, are you still fighting the match tomorrow?”
“Of course. Do you have any extra Spirit Weapons? Give me all of them,” Ye Mo said.
The prowess of the Dragon God’s Will had completely conquered the Luosha Emperor. Since that was the case, Ye Mo decided he might as well get some free Spirit Weapons.
“I still have 15 extra Spirit Weapons here,” the Luosha Emperor said. He then asked curiously, “Why do you want so many Spirit Weapons?”
Ye Mo first entered a bet for 10 Spirit Weapons with Xu Fu before asking for Spirit Weapons from him again. Spirit Weapons were unlike pills. It wasn’t a good thing to have too many of them, and one wouldn’t be able to carry too many anyway.
“That is not something you should be concerned with. I have my own plans. Prepare a room for me and send all the Spirit Weapons over.”
“Yes!”
Within a luxurious room, Ye Mo was sat cross-legged. When he recalled all that had happened, it felt like a dream.
While Ye Mo was busy cultivating, the voice of a female rang out from outside the room.
“Mr. Ye Mo, your dinner is here.”
“Come in,” Ye Mo said.
Creak!
The door was opened, and a young woman in palace attire entered carrying the dinner. After setting the food down, the young woman said, “Mr. Ye Mo, let this servant serve you while you dine.”
“It’s fine. I will eat myself. You may leave,” Ye Mo said indifferently.
“The emperor has commanded me to wait on you here. If you have any other requests, I will carry them out immediately. As for the 15 Spirit Weapons, all will be delivered after your victory tomorrow,” said the young woman.
“I don’t need anyone waiting on me. Just leave,” said Ye Mo. He had never been waited upon. Thus, he was not used to this. Moreover, nobody would be able to concentrate on eating with a beautiful woman gazing at you by your side.
“Mr. Ye Mo, this is the command of the emperor. I will just stand by the side and stay silent,” said the young woman with her head lowered.
“Fine,” Ye Mo sighed and agreed as he did not wish to make things difficult for the young woman. He started eating.
The food of the Luosha Kingdom was quite good. After all, he was eating palace food that would normally only be served to the emperor.
After eating his fill, Ye Mo planned to continue his cultivation. But before he could start, the young woman slowly walked over and said, “The emperor has said that you should rest earlier since you are fighting Xu Wuji tomorrow. Let me help you to bed.” Once she had said this, she immediately took off her clothes before wrapping herself around Ye Mo’s body like a snake.
“What is this? Move away from me!” Ye Mo said coldly.
The current him only wanted to cultivate. There were still many things he wanted to accomplish and he did not have the time for this. Moreover, he already had the woman he loved. He had no interest in other women, and would never any sexual relationship with other women either.
“Ye Mo, are you rejecting me because of my status?” said the young woman anxiously while biting her lips.
“Is this the emperor’s idea?” Ye Mo asked coldly.
“The emperor said that if I can’t satisfy you today, my entire clan will be slaughtered,” said the woman before she started weeping. She had been forced to do this. If it wasn’t for the sake of her family, how would she be willing to stoop so low?
“That fellow sure is thoughtful. Don’t worry. Just stay here tonight. I am going to start cultivating. If the emperor asks, I will tell him I am very satisfied with you,” said Ye Mo. He then ignored the young woman and started cultivating.
