The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1298 - 1299: Wraith Demon Emperor’s Speculation

When Ye Mo emerged from Ancestor Bodhi’s palace, his mood was not great; it was more a feeling of helplessness. If he had also ascended to the Divine Venerate Realm, perhaps he could have agreed to this battle on behalf of Mu Yulang.

But now, all Ye Mo could do was cultivate, train frantically.

Ye Mo once again entered the Genius Badge. What he needed to do now was to condense his Soul Sea. Once he condenses the Soul Sea, he would be able to immediately break through to the Divine Venerate Realm, master spiritual attacks, and employ the various methods taught by Ancestor Bodhi.

However, how to condense the Soul Sea was the biggest challenge.

"Wraith Demon Emperor, can you guess the strength of this Xue Wudi?"

Ye Mo, who was still in a meditative state, suddenly opened his eyes and couldn’t help but ask.

"He should be of the Blood Clan, cultivating the Blood Qi Technique. According to what they say, Xue Wudi’s true strength might not have been fully displayed yet. I think Mu Yulang is in for a tough time in this battle."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said with a smile.

"However, I really can’t understand. After having dealt with Ao Cangwu for thousands of years, given his temperament, he probably would have already attacked the Lingwu Continent."

Hearing the Wraith Demon Emperor say this, Ye Mo couldn’t help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"

"Ao Cangwu is the kind of person who would stop at nothing for his ambition. From how he used the Fu Rong incident, you should know that back when his Dead Soul Royal Family was vying for the top race in Wraith Land, they led their clan to massacre several major races, without caring about the lives within their clan. Do you think Ao Cangwu would be afraid of losing some Divine Venerate Late Stage experts in a war of attrition with the Lingwu Continent?"

The Wraith Demon Emperor analyzed for Ye Mo.

"So what do you mean?"

Ye Mo continued to inquire.

"His Dead Soul Royal Family, for thousands of years, has wanted to become the number one race in Wraith Land, but it’s not that easy. Because there’s my Wraith Clan, Wraith Land is named after us, which shows the strength of my clan. However, the Dead Soul Royal Family also rose to power through Ao Cangwu’s rise, suppressing my Wraith Clan. Back when I confronted him, his Dead Soul Royal Family was only a bit stronger than my Wraith Clan, and even now, with my clan’s heritage, the Dead Soul Royal Family can’t suppress us."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said.

The two super races of Wraith Land, the Dead Soul Royal Family and the Wraith Clan—the Dead Soul Royal Family was originally very weak, but Ao Cangwu’s aggressive rise almost brought them to the peak.

However, the heritage of the Wraith Clan is still very strong, not something the Dead Soul Royal Family could surpass overnight.

"Wraith Demon Emperor, are you saying it’s not that Ao Cangwu doesn’t want to come, but he doesn’t dare to come?"

Ye Mo furrowed his brows and said.

"That’s right, and you’re forgetting something: when that Half-Deity Level Seal burned the Charm Spirit, it greatly damaged his essence. Once his essence is damaged, it’s hard to recover. I suspect that Ao Cangwu’s strength hasn’t fully recovered, and with my Wraith Clan holding him back, he doesn’t dare to come."

The Wraith Demon Emperor nodded.

"I see now, no wonder they haven’t sent Divine Venerate Late Stage experts. Turns out they’re planning to use Ao Cangwu’s prestige to intimidate us. Even if the battle does escalate, we may not fear him, because this is the Lingwu Continent, and we have the geographical advantage."

Ye Mo said.

"Exactly!"

The Wraith Demon Emperor nodded.

"Then why does he still want to duel with Mu Yulang?"

Ye Mo once again became puzzled.

"Since Xue Wudi is Ao Cangwu’s protege, his tactics might not be inferior to Ao Cangwu’s. By challenging Mu Yulang to a duel, he, first of all, puts pressure on us, and secondly, he intends to lead us into a trap. They never planned to start a full-scale war but to sign an agreement with us. Meanwhile, we’re all focused on winning or losing, and perhaps Xue Wudi never planned to win this match at all."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Ye Mo couldn’t help but marvel at the opponent’s high-level tactics. Now, perhaps no one has thought about negotiating; everyone is focused on how to make Mu Yulang win this match.

However, the final result will still be the two continents sitting down to negotiate.

As for the negotiations, they might be better than an all-out war between the two continents but certainly won’t be too favorable either.

"I must inform my master right now!"

Ye Mo said, preparing to leave the Genius Space, but was immediately stopped by the Wraith Demon Emperor.

"What good would it do to inform your master now? The result will still end in negotiation, right?"

"You’re right!"

Ye Mo calmed down again. Whether or not the other party wants a conflict to erupt, the Lingwu Continent definitely doesn’t, so negotiation is the only option.

"So we must aim to get the most out of this negotiation."

Ye Mo said once more.

"Heh heh, actually, I hope you Lingwu Continent and Wraith Land will go to war instead. Then, the strength of the Dead Soul Royal Family will definitely be weakened, and my Wraith Clan can seize the opportunity to reclaim the top spot in Wraith Land, maybe even wipe out the Dead Soul Royal Family."

The Wraith Demon Emperor chuckled sinisterly.

"Do you think that’s possible?"

Ye Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Rest assured, since I’ve agreed to cooperate with you, Ao Cangwu is our common enemy. Once I reach a level where I can contend with your existence, I will release you. Then we will deal with Ao Cangwu together."

"Your performance has already proven your potential, but if you want to deal with Ao Cangwu, you must find a way to Wraith Land."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said.

"We’ll talk about that when the time comes."

Ye Mo smiled and then furrowed his brows again, saying, "I do want to know what exactly Xue Wudi and we are negotiating."

"Moreover, since he plans to deliberately lose to Mu Yulang, I do have a good strategy to deal with him."

Ye Mo’s face then revealed a rare insidious smile.

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Mu Yulang also entered the most intense closed cultivation, striving to make a breakthrough. His goal was to defeat Xue Wudi no matter what.

Genius Gorge, this is the gorge where geniuses from the Lingwu Continent battle. Now it has gathered countless strong beings, almost all of them Divine Venerate experts.

The experts of the Lingwu Continent were already waiting here. This time, even Ancestor Bodhi came personally, along with the Six Deputy Commanders, and members of the Six Great Powers and over a dozen ninth-grade seal masters from the Fu Sect, forming the strongest force of the Lingwu Continent.

And Ye Mo was naturally among them!

Rumble. At that moment, the entire Genius Gorge shook violently, the wind and clouds changed, and the world trembled. Everyone gazed into the distance, and when they saw the various figures arriving in the sky, their faces changed drastically.
