“Are you investigating me? You must have gotten the wrong person. I’m just a normal fighter with some tricks up my sleeve. Regarding that save, just treat it as a fluke,” said Ye Mo.

Yao Yue shook her head, showing a rare smile, and said, “Others cannot wait to get on good terms with me. You are the opposite, always attempting to cut ties with me. Actually, the Qingyun League is not lacking talented league members like you. I am asking about your strength because this concerns whether you can get out of the Legal Division alive.”

Upon hearing that, Ye Mo was surprised. He had initially assumed that Yao Yue was trying to check him out. He instantly let out a sigh of regret. “Oh? How is that?”

“Going to the Legal Division, it will be extremely difficult for you to completely escape unscathed regardless of how many good reasons you have to back yourself with. If the elders in the Legal Division want your head, your fate is sealed. I had done some research earlier on – that Ye Changsheng who wants to sabotage you was singled out by the League Chief even before he entered the league. His unique status has made even the elders of the league want to establish connections with him,” said Yao Yue.

“Who knew about the superior status of Ye Changsheng in the Qingyun League? I wonder what exactly the League Chief saw in him to cherry pick him,” said Ye Mo, shaking his head.

“The thoughts of the League Chief are not something we can predict or analyze. I will help you stall for time. Once Yun Shan recovers from his injuries, the two of you will be brought to the Legal Division. Once you are there, you will be in danger. Based on my understanding, the Yunhe Elder in the Legal Division is League Chief’s man – he will certainly make life difficult for you at the Legal Division. If you want to escape this, there is only one way.”

“What way?” Ye Mo suddenly thought of something. “Power!”

Yao Yue extended out an elegant finger and continued to say, “So long as you display your extraordinary powers, don’t even worry about crippling Yun Shan’s Energy Center – the Qingyun League will not do anything to you even if you had killed him.”

“I’m guessing you’re talking about talent?” Ye Mo finally understood. Even if he was going to be sent to the Legal Division, so long as he can exhibit his extraordinary talent, he will be able to escape punishment.”

“Indeed. I will be present on that day as well. Whether you end up dead or alive depends on what techniques you’re going to display,” said Yao Yue.

Ye Mo bowed towards Yao Yue. “Thank you for your advice. I will not let you down.”

Ye Mo prepared to leave after he spoke.

“Ye Mo, even if you fail at the Legal Division, I will do my best to save your life. Count it as repaying you for saving me,” Yao Yue said suddenly.

“You’ll owe me this debt for a lifetime.”

With that, Ye Mo took his leave.

He had plenty of trump cards up his sleeve. Be it Pill Refining Technique or Seal Technique, there was no one in his age group competent enough to challenge him. Based on these two points alone, the Qingyun League might decide against sentencing him to death over insignificant Yun Shan.

Ye Mo did not hurry back to the Spirit Mountain Cave, instead heading towards the League Points Hall, exchanging some of his points for a Water of Life. The 5000 points that it cost was a number that league members who had been there two to three years would never use.

Ye Mo did not feel the pain of losing his points. These points could be attained as long as he completed missions. Yan Shihan’s face could not take any more delay. The longer things dragged on, the more difficult it would be to recover.

Ye Mo returned to his own cave, closing the stone door before taking out the high-grade item, the Cauldron, from his Dimensional Bracelet. The Cauldron belonged to the Long Armed Ape Monkeys. It glistened like a crystal, giving off an icy blue glow.

Without thinking too much, Ye Mo threw all the ingredients required for the Appearance Pill, following the Encyclopedia of Herbology’s cultivating instructions. Lighting up a fire and creating the pill, his techniques were akin to a master’s, extremely seasoned.

The whole cultivating process took an hour. With a booming sound heard from the Cauldron, Ye Mo opened the icy blue Cauldron to see that a milky white pill had been successfully cultivated.

This pill was the Appearance Pill. Consuming it would shed away all dead skin, making one’s skin glisten and glow. One would consider it a miracle pill.

“I will cultivate more of these when I have time and give them one each.”

Ye Mo took the Appearance Pill and left his training cave, hurrying towards Yan Shihan’s cave.

At that moment, Yan Shihan was still practicing in her cave, Ye Mo’s face constantly running in her mind. She smiled to herself.

“Well, what is making the Ugliest in the League so happy?”

A sharp, piercing voice came from outside the cave. Walking slowly into the cave was a woman in Qingyun League practice attire, but much more revealing than normal. With her good looks and the way her buttocks shook as she took each step, it was enough to excite the hormones of any male.

“What are you doing here?” Yan Shihan’s eyes widened. Looking at the girl in front of her, her stomach sank.

This lady’s name was Luo Min, Xu Fu’s woman.

“Brother Xu told me to come here and let you know that you are considered a veteran league member in the Qingyun League. According to the Qingyun League rules, if you still have not reached Energy Shaping First Realm, you have to be downgraded,” said Luo Min.

Qingyun League did not provide food and shelter for people of leisure. A few fighters in the Spirit Cultivating Eight or Ninth Realm, having not been able to progress in their training after spending numerous years in the league, were downgraded to being in charge of the league’s miscellaneous duties: sweeping, cleaning toilets, accounting for medication logistics – duties that fighters should not be doing.

Yan Shihan was nearing her breakthrough into the Energy Shaping First Realm, her progress only stunted because the injuries she’d sustained from an attack from Xu Fu.

“Even if I were to be downgraded, you will not be the one who decides that. If you have nothing else to say, stop harassing me,” Yan Shifan said coldly, closing her eyes and absorbing the nature’s energy as she turned away.

“Wow!”

A strange noise from Luo Min was heard as she saw the Dimensional Bracelet on Yan Shihan’s wrist, those phoenix-like eyes narrowing. “A Dimensional Bracelet! Where did you get it? This is a treasured item, a rarity even within the Inner League. How is it possible that you possess this? It must have been stolen.”

Seeing that Yan Shihan remained silent, Luo Min’s eyes narrowed further, almost forming into a line. Following that, her eyes opened and a strong wave of force was let out, almost engulfing Yan Shihan.

Yan Shihan was unable to move. Her opponent was ultimately an Energy Shaping First Realm fighter. Facing her, she had no chance of resisting her attacks.

“Hehe. You cannot own the Dimensional Bracelet.”

As Luo Min spoke, she dashed beside Yan Shihan in a flash. With a grab of her arm, she took the Dimensional Bracelet off her.

“Return me my Dimensional Bracelet!”

Seeing her Dimensional Bracelet taken away, it was as if Yan Shihan had lost the most treasured item in her life. Her Energy Center rumbled, energy completely exploding outwards. As she broke free of her restraints, she grabbed the Dimensional Bracelet from Luo Min with a swoop of her arm.

“Let go, ugly woman!” As Luo Min spoke, she sent a kick towards Yan Shihan’s stomach, sending her flying off and colliding heavily against the stone wall.

“Don’t take my Dimensional Bracelet, return it!” Yan Shihan shouted, on the verge of crying.

“Haha, can’t believe I got a Dimensional Bracelet. How lucky.” Luo Min seemingly ignored Yan Shihan’s cries and pleas as she gave the Dimensional Bracelet in her hand a few shakes, her face filled with joy.

“Are your filthy hands worthy of touching my gift?”

A furious voice was heard travelling into the cave, echoing around endlessly. The voice carried the dominance of the Giant Dragon, filled with ruthlessness. Luo Min was so frightened that she almost dropped the Dimensional Bracelet.
