Chapter 756: Ten Days of Crazy Slaughter

Ye Mo grabbed the Meteor Hammer nimbly, but strangely, Xue Niu didn’t have any Demon Crystal in his Xu Mi Ring. That confused Ye Mo.

“How come there aren’t any Demon Crystals? How could it be possible that a four-star castellan doesn’t have any Demon Crystals?” Ye Mo said suspiciously.

“Maybe all of their Demon Crystals are with the league leader of the Hunting League,” Ling’er speculated.

“But why?” Ye Mo was still deeply confused.

“Just think about it,” Ling’er said calmly. “The competition has already entered the second stage, which means more and more leagues will be formed. The competition between different leagues is only going to heat up. What’s more, the total amount of Demon Crystals is the reflection of the league power.”

“Then let’s wait and see which league will make the rankings after ten days. And we should try harder to make sure the Five Element League is on the ranking list, too.”

Ye Mo put the Meteor Hammer on his shoulder and joined the group. The members of the Hunting League had all been killed. As expected, none of them had any Demon Crystals.

“League Leader, I must apologize to you for my rude behavior before,” Zhou Jin said with his hands cupped. “I hope you can forgive me. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I’ll follow your orders with no hesitation. I’ll be your best subordinate.”

The other castellans cupped their hands apologetically, too.

In the Zone of Chaos, power was everything. Now, Ye Mo had proven his power to everyone. Naturally, all of his league members had altered their attitude and looked up to him sincerely now.

“League Leader, here are all the Demon Crystals we’ve obtained. We want to give them to you,” Zhou Jin said. And then he took out 40,000 Demon Crystals from his Xu Mi Pouch and handed them to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo was the league leader with the strongest power.

“League Leader. Ten days from now, the ranking list with the Demon Crystal amount will appear again. Therefore, we’ll give you all of our Demon Crystals so our league’s on the list too. Let’s show all the other leagues how strong the Five Element League is,” Leng Wei said.

It was true that, by collecting every member’s Demon Crystals, Ye Mo could make sure the league name reached the ranking list. Moreover, by doing this, Ye Mo could show all the castellans that he had joined a league. People would get suspicious about Ye Mo’s power because nobody had any idea about whether or not there were other strong cultivators in the Five Element League.

Ye Mo received the 40,000 Demon Crystals from his league members. In addition to his own Demon Crystals, he had 50,000 Demon Crystals in total now.

“Okay, all castellans. Thank you for trusting me so much. So let’s bring our A game in the following days to kill more demonic beasts. We’d better avoid fights with the other leagues, but if they try to start a fight with us, then don’t be afraid, just show them how strong we are. Got it?” Ye Mo shouted passionately with his courage all stirred up.

“Yes!”

In the following days, Ye Mo didn’t continue with his cultivation anymore. He had already entered the Mid-grade Profound World Realm, so he could only polish his power and skills in real-life battles.

As for the Meteor Hammer, its power had been damaged, so Hong Ling wouldn’t benefit too much from absorbing its cultivation. In order to become a Mid-grade Celestial Weapon, Hong Ling would need to absorb the cultivation from another Mid-grade Celestial Weapon. And, after that, Hong Long could advance to a High-grade Celestial Weapon by absorbing the cultivation from a High-grade Celestial Weapon.

But a Celestial Weapon wasn’t easy to find. After all, even the Six Daos Chaotic Sword’s level was no higher than a High-grade Celestial Weapon.

Ye Mo and Yao Yue also joined the teams slaughtering demonic beasts in the next few days.

But this time, Ye Mo and Yao Yue decided to hunt the demonic beasts at night. Now that Ye Mo’s Heart Cultivation had entered the seventh stage, the range of his spiritual search was massive. Even a seven-star castellan could hardly advance to the seventh stage in Heart Cultivation.

Ye Mo, with the power of a four-star castellan, wasn’t afraid of confronting ay demonic beasts in the field. For him, killing High-grade Profound Heavens Realm demonic beasts was as easy as killing the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm demonic beasts.

All he needed to do was use the Shifting Phantom trick and he could kill them in a second. Without even using a weapon, he could cut them in half by flapping his Red Dragon Wings.

With those advantages, Ye Mo and Yao Yue intentionally searched for the beast herds. The herds of demonic beasts were always on the move nocturnally and they could get huge. Usually, even five- and six-star castellans would try to avoid the herds because a large number of demonic beasts could cause them trouble. Ye Mo, however, was one of a kind. When encountering a herd, he would thrust into it and create an ocean of blood and flesh.

In only one night, Ye Mo and Yao Yue slaughtered more than 10,000 demonic beasts, which meant that they acquired more than 10,000 Demon Crystals.

But Ye Mo knew that these 10,000 Demon Crystals weren’t a big deal. All the other leagues had many powerful members. If all of the Demon Crystals were given to one person, the total number must be a jaw-dropping amount.

“We must try our best. If we get our league name on the ranking list, there wouldn’t be many castellans who dare to pick on us anymore in the new half-month,” Ye Mo said lightly, smiling.

“So far, the only league we know of is the Hunting League. And we killed their four-star castellan, which means they won’t let it pass that easily. Therefore, if the league leader’s name of the Five Element League was on the ranking list, they would have to think twice before starting a fight with us,” Yao Yue said, agreeing to Ye Mo’s opinion.

“You’re right. Although I’m the leader of the league, my cultivation is only in the Mid-grade Profound World Realm. None of them would guess that I’m actually the most powerful cultivator in the league. They’ll probably think we have a seven-star castellan on our team.”

“So the key is to get our name on the ranking list. Only by doing so can we deter our competitors,” Yao Yue said.

“Then we keep hunting at night for the next few days.”

The others chose to hunt the demonic beasts during the daytime because they thought it was safer. But Ye Mo and Yao Yue insisted on hunting at night.

Night fell again.

It was time for Ye Mo and Yao Yue to hunt while the other castellans of the Five Element League sat down to get some rest. Walking out of the headquarters, Ye Mo dove into the dark and empty field again.

Because of his seventh grade Heart Cultivation, his spiritual power could cover a massive range and it made the search much easier.

Ye Mo and Yao Yue killed through the night. This time, they harvested 2000 more Demon Crystals than the last time.

After seven days of the slaughter of the demonic beasts, they came to the 15th day of the second stage of the battle. Ye Mo and Yao Yue had collected 110,000 Demon Crystals. In addition to the Demon Crystals they had from the last stage, their total reached 180,000.

“180,000 Demon Crystals at hand. But I’m not sure what position we’re in. Let’s go back for now,” Ye Mo said, heading back to headquarters.

It was early in the morning now. In a few hours, the Thousand Cities List would be revealed. But it remained a mystery how the list would show up. Both Ye Mo and Yao Yue were looking forward to that moment eagerly.

“Castellan Ye Mo, Castellan Yao Yue. We’re back.” Zhou Jin, leading a large group of castellans, came back to headquarters. In the last ten days, they had only fought some small battles with other leagues, but no large-scale chaotic fights like against the Hunting League.

“The ranking announcement is right around the corner, so we came back to give you all of the Demon Crystals we collected in the last ten days.”

Zhou Jin took out his Xu Mi Pouch and passed it to Ye Mo. He said, “Our group has 18 people. In ten days, we collected one hundred thousand Demon Crystals in total.”

“A hundred thousand?”

Ye Mo was filled with excitement. “So that means our league has a total of 280 thousand Demon Crystal now?”

“What did you say? 280 thousand? You’re saying you two alone collected 180 thousand Demon Crystals?”

Zhou Jin and his group were shocked after hearing Ye Mo’s number.

“Correct. Little Yao and I chose to hunt at night. So within ten days, we collected 120 thousand Demon Crystals.” Ye Mo nodded.

After he finished speaking, the valley seemed to quiet down. Everyone’s expression was frozen in astonishment. The number of Demon Crystals Ye Mo and Yao Yue had collected was even bigger than the total amount collected by 18 people. Once again, their admiration toward Ye Mo deepened significantly.

Kraka-Boom! Thunder rumbled in the sky.

“Castellan Ye Mo. Come on, let’s put all the Demon Crystals in your Xu Mi Pouch right now. I can’t wait to see whether or not our Five Element League can make to the list.”
