When Ye Mo and Cai Ling returned to the Qingyun League, the Martial Faction army had already returned. A bunch of Xuan Ji’s people stayed at the League Chief Pavilion, looking worried.

“What should we do now? Because of Li Tianqiong’s return, our morale has begun to waver.”

“Li Tianqiong is the emperor of the Tianwu Kingdom. He’s been in power for decades. Who isn’t afraid of him? Once his wedding is finished, he’ll attack the Martial Faction.”

“We have no way out.” Everyone sighed.

“Our only hope is Ye Mo. If Ye Mo’s strength can surpass Li Tianqiong’s, then maybe he can fight evenly with Li Tianqiong.”

“At most Ye Mo’s strength is in the Transcendence First Realm. Li Tianqiong’s should be at least in the Transcendence Third Realm. He also has the Spirit Supreme with him. No matter how talented Ye Mo is, it would be impossible for him to advance to the strength of Transcendence Third Realm in such a short period of time.”

“That’s right. Looks like we need to think of another way.” Everyone sighed once again. The danger this time around was much greater than last time. After all, Cao Zhengchun’s strength was similar to Xuan Ji’s, both were on equal footing.

But with Li Tianqiong’s return, he alone could easily eradicate all of the Martial Faction.

“Don’t worry everyone, leave everything to me,” Ye Mo walked in and said calmly.

“Leave it to you?” Xuan Ji asked curiously. Did Ye Mo have a way to turn the situation around?

“To tell you all the truth, I like Qi Ying and she is the woman who put me onto the path of cultivation,” Ye Mo said. “No matter what, I won’t let Li Tianqiong marry Qi Ying. There’s still seven days left. I’ll do my best to increase my strength. After seven days, I’ll go to the imperial capital alone to snatch her.”

“Snatch her? The Imperial Concubine? Are you crazy?” Yao Qingyun’s face changed color and said, “Ye Mo, my idea is to send everyone in the Martial Faction to pretend to surrender. You go back to the Door of Desolation to cultivate. Once your strength has reached the point where you can defeat Li Tianqiong, then come back.”

“League Leader, this is a good idea. Li Tianqiong definitely won’t kill all of us. Pretending to surrender is a good idea,” Yun Tianxie said. The other elders looked at each other and nodded.

“League Leader, your idea isn’t bad,” Ye Mo said. “But did you think about whether Li Tianqiong will let all of you go? I can guarantee that if everyone in the Martial Faction surrendered, only a few of you will survive. And, I’ve promised Sister Qi Ying that on the day of her wedding, I would personally snatch her away in front of Li Tianqiong. Although the timeline has shortened, I’ll still do what I promised. Once I come out of cultivation, I will battle Li Tianqiong to the death after seven days.”

After Ye Mo spoke, he turned around abruptly, then disappeared on the spot.

With only seven days left, no one believed that Ye Mo could cultivate to the point where he could be on even footing with Li Tianqiong. But they still chose to believe in Ye Mo, to believe in the person who had created one miracle after another.

Ye Mo flew to Mirror Lake Island where he had cultivated in the past. He was prepared to perform the most urgent comprehension he had ever done. Those seven days would be the most difficult seven days of Ye Mo’s life. On one hand, he had to withstand all the pressure. If he succeeded, then he would fulfill the three-year promise he made to Qi Ying. If he failed, however, then everything he had done would be meaningless.

“Zhu Immortal Imprint!” Ye Mo roared. Suddenly, within the Sea of Qi in his Energy Center, a dazzling light radiated out from between the eyebrows of the Heart Minion and covered Ye Mo’s entire body.

At that moment, a strong Will descended into Ye Mo’s body. His face began to change color dramatically. Ye Mo couldn’t bear the powerful Zhu Immortal Imprint. But he went all out. He had to succeed this time. No matter how much pain he had to bear, he had to hold on.

“What is this? Zhu Immortal Imprint?” Blurred information entered Ye Mo’s mind. He was surprised. Within this Zhu Immortal Imprint was a powerful formation, the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation. It was a formation that could kill immortals!

Ye Mo began slowly controlling the Heart Minion, as he turned the Zhu Immortal Imprint. The Caged Dragon Power condensed itself and evolved into the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation. It wasn’t a formation that used rune arrangements, but rather a formation condensed by using the body as the center, combined with the spiritual consciousness and true energy.

That type of formation required an understanding of its mysteries to evolve all kinds of power. The Zhu Immortal Magical Formation had the power to kill immortals. It was many times stronger than the Three Tai Unification Formation.

The Zhu Immortal Imprint was powerful, and the light it emitted almost penetrated Ye Mo’s body. Every time light was emitted, it represented the Will of the Heavenly Goddess. Its power was enough to shatter the void and crush the sky.

But Ye Mo could only clench his teeth. Even though he could move the Slab of Fortune, he was still in a lot of pain. He had no choice but to put his life on the line and bear the Zhu Immortal Imprint so that he could comprehend the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation. But this comprehension wasn’t like the previous times where he only had a little bit to comprehend. This time, he had to fight against the Will of the Heavenly Goddess. If he failed, then he would die. But Ye Mo had to go all out, by using his own Will to oppress the Will of the Heavenly Goddess and condense the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation.

Ye Mo did have certain advantages. If it had been earlier, Ye Mo would no doubt have lost. But now he had the Tianwu Kingdom’s Slab of Fortune, and inside his body was the Dragon God’s Will. Ye Mo believed that his Dragon God’s Will would help him when he reached a critical moment. That was also a gamble, but in order to defeat Li Tianqiong in seven days, Ye Mo had to take risks.

With the Slab of Fortune’s defense, Ye Mo could only barely withstand the erosion of the golden light. The battle of the Wills was about to begin.

Between the eyebrows of the Heart Minion, a sudden attack from a beautiful figure in a palace dress appeared. It was the Heavenly Goddess.

As the Heavenly Goddess appeared, she began attacking the Heart Minion. The Heart Minion had fused with the Energy Core and was the most important thing in Ye Mo’s body. Even if his body and heart were destroyed, he still had the chance to recover. But once the Heart Minion was destroyed, there would be no possible way for Ye Mo to recover.

Every move the Heavenly Goddess made had a mysterious attack. Ye Mo was unable to comprehend anything from these attacks. But the power was very strong. The Heart Minion could only barely defend each time.

“Celestial Flying Immortal!”

Boom!

When the Heavenly Goddess saw that her attacks couldn’t defeat Ye Mo, she released her strongest attack, the Celestial Flying Immortal. She waved the Bejewelled Sword in her hand. The attack was like hiding the sun from the sky. The Sea of Qi within his Energy Center boiled from the sword attack. That sword contained too many mysteries.
