“Brother You, I still have some matters to take care of in the City of Moons. Brother You can go back first, I will definitely arrive at Zhu Liang City within two months.”
Ye Mo knew that he didn’t know how long it would take for him to return from this trip to the Hall of Meteoric Truth, Ye Wucai had worshipped him as his master and he hadn’t taught him anything yet, so this departure would delay him for a long time again. One of him had to teach Ye Wucai cultivation, and the second had to set up formations in the City of the Moon-moon, so he directly asked You Qiaping to go back first.
Seemingly knowing that Ye Mo had something to do, You Fluttering Ping didn’t say anything more and just left a communication bead for Ye Mo, while he went back to Zhu Liang City first. He had to report Ye Mo’s matter up as soon as possible. Although his position in Zhu Liang City was not low, there were four YuanYing cultivators in Zhu Liang, and he had to find supporters before he could do so.
Originally, if Ye Mo had also wanted to go to the Bidan Sect, his proposal would have been somewhat troublesome. Now Ye Mo did not want to go to the Bidan Sect, which meant that once Ye Mo succeeded, the Bidan Sect would take in two YuanYing disciples in the Han Liang Empire, and his proposal would definitely get the approval of one more person, and there would basically be no objection.
After You Fluttering left, Ye Mo called Ye Wucai over. Ye Wucai had three mixed spiritual roots, but his golden spiritual root was the main one. The technique Ye Mo gave him was also derived by himself through the ‘Three Life Duel, which Ye Mo named ‘Three Life Geng Jin Duel”
At the same time, Ye Mo also refined a ‘Five Element Pill, for Ye Wucai, although he already had spirit roots, the ‘Five Element Pill, such a heaven defying pill, would make his spirit roots a little more pure.
Ye Wucai suddenly received Ye Mo’s impartation, and was even more reluctant to waste a bit of time to cultivate wholeheartedly. The construction of Mochizuki City no longer required his personal attention, and he would only go to see how the progress was going in his free time during cultivation.
And Ye Mo spent more than a month instructing Ye Wucai while setting up the defensive formations of the City of the Moon-moon.
However, because Ye Mo’s advanced materials were limited and the land of Mo Yue City was a bit too big, with his current cultivation level, he could only barely set up a level 4 defence formation and a level 3 attack formation. However, the level 4 defence formation would have no problem dealing with Jindan cultivators, not to mention the ordinary army.
Although his cultivation level was several times stronger than in Feihai City, Mochizuki City was not smaller than Feihai City at all, and even larger.
A month later, when Ye Wucai was able to cultivate on his own, Ye Mo left some cultivation tips and handed over all the matters of Mo Yue City to Ye Wucai before he left Mo Yue City for Zhu Liang City.
The distance between Zhu Liang and Mo Yue City was only 10,000 miles, so to Ye Mo it was only a matter of arriving on the same day. To a cultivator, the distance was only a little, but to the ruler of an empire, this distance was not close enough. In Ye Mo’s mind, it made sense that the city of Mo Yue was not taken seriously by the Han Liang Empire.
However, Ye Mo did not know that the City of Moons was sent out freely, and the deal between him and You Qiaping had nothing to do with the king of the Han Liang Empire, it was all You Qiaping’s personal act.
Ye Mo had just arrived at Zhu Liang City when You Fluttering Ping came out to pick him up, obviously You Fluttering was more enthusiastic than Ye Mo about Ye Mo entering the Hall of Meteoric Truth.
This time Ye Mo did not hide his cultivation, when You Fluttering Ping saw Ye Mo’s cultivation level of the third layer of YuanYing, he froze for a moment, then he said, “That cultivation concealment technique of yours, City Master Ye, is really powerful, I thought you were at least in the middle layer of YuanYing, but I didn’t expect you to be in the third layer of the early YuanYing.”
Ye Mo smiled faintly, “Is Brother You disappointed to see that my cultivation level is not high?”
You Fluttering Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, no, it’s already beyond my expectations. To be honest, I was really shocked before when I thought you were in the middle or even late YuanYing stage. Although I’m still struck now, but it’s better than before. Alright, City Master Ye, you and I will go together to meet the rest of the Dao friends of the Han Liang Empire, as well as the king of the Han Liang Empire as well. After all, we are representing the Han Liang Empire into the Meteoric Truth Hall, so it is better to meet.
You Fluttering Ping was telling the truth, there were quite a few YuanYing cultivators within 100 years of age, but there were really very few mid YuanYing cultivators within 100 years of age, not to mention late YuanYing cultivators. So when he found out that Ye Mo was only at the third level of YuanYing, he was instead relieved that the blow wasn’t too severe after all.
Of course there was another reason, and that was if Ye Mo was already at the late YuanYing stage within a hundred years old, he couldn’t even think of not attracting the attention of a major sect. When the time came that one of the great sects asked Ye Mo to join them, their Han Liang Empire would be out of luck.
The king of the Han Liang Empire personally greeted Ye Mo and held a welcoming ceremony for him. When he arrived at the banquet, Ye Mo realised that his initial belief that he had the Han Liang Empire in his grasp was not entirely correct.
There were four YuanYing cultivators in the Han Liang Empire, and as to how many Jindan cultivators did not attend the banquet, Ye Mo was not quite sure. However, it was known that apart from him, there was also a late Jindan cultivator who went to the Meteoric Truth Hall.
These four Jindan cultivators, apart from You Fluttering Ping and the other one surnamed Rong, who were both in the early Jindan stage, there were two others, one in the middle Jindan stage, while the other one was already in the eighth Jindan stage. This strength pulled in Ye Mo, obviously not because they were afraid of Ye Mo’s cultivation, but because they really wanted Ye Mo to represent them in the Meteoric Truth Hall.
The cultivator at the eighth layer of the late YuanYing stage named Ge Lian was very polite to Ye Mo and kept toasting to Ye Mo, a cultivator at the third layer of YuanYing. On the other hand, the mid-stage Qiang Infant cultivator named Qi Zai Fang and the early-stage Yuan Infant cultivator surnamed Rong did not act very warm or cold towards Ye Mo, they could only be described as ordinary.
From this point on, Ye Mo could already tell that the front You Fluttering Ping was pulling together was Ge Lian, and if he could get out of the Meteoric Truth Hall, the benefits would be his and Ge Lian’s. However, this was understandable, after all, Ge Lian had the highest cultivation level, so it was normal to pull in Ge Lian.
But at the same time, Ye Mo could also see that although the banquet was hosted by the king of the Han Liang Empire, and although several YuanYing cultivators were still polite to the king of the Han Liang Empire, that was just a superficial phenomenon. Many things were even decided without going through this king. But for a few YuanYing cultivators to stay in the Han Liang Empire and still ostensibly serve the king of the Han Liang Empire, there was obviously something else going on here.
A large group of scantily clad beauties were dancing in the main hall, causing Ye Mo to sigh in his heart that although the king of the Han Liang Empire only had a few decades of ordinary life, he had lived those decades with far more panache than the average cultivator. Although a cultivator could live for a very long time, if he came out of seclusion for hundreds of years and fell in the blink of an eye, he would not be as comfortable as the king of this empire.
In fact, who can calculate the gains and losses in life?
The king had probably seen many YuanYing cultivators and was only polite to Ye Mo and did not have the usual restraint that ordinary cultivators had when they met YuanYing cultivators.
Ye Mo and the YuanYing cultivators only talked a few words before the king withdrew his gaze from the dance and looked at Ye Mo with a smile and said, “Lord Ye, I will give you ShuangHe City now, even if you want several more cities I can give them to you. Now that you are representing my Han Liang Empire to participate in the Meteoric Truth Hall training, why don’t you join my Han Liang Empire’s Immortal Master Academy, what do you think?”
After saying that, he did not wait for Ye Mo to answer and added, “Ye City Master, I gave Shuanghe City to others are ready to take it back, give it to you, I promise I will not mention Shuanghe City back again.
Ye Mo’s face sank, and instantly his aura exploded out. A mere Qi practicing cultivator, so what if he was the king of an empire? How dare he say that Shuanghe City was given down by him.
“In the future, there will be no Shuanghe City, only the City of Moons. Are you the king of the Han Liang Empire? I ask you to remember that the City of Moon-moon was taken by myself, it has nothing to do with Ren Zhou Ren, nor does it have anything to do with your Han Liang Empire, don’t make a fool of yourself.” Ye Mo suddenly stood up his cold voice matching his aura rushed out, immediately causing the whole hall to carry a harsh killing spirit.
He had to establish his authority, if he was unclear on this, if he left the City of Moon-moon in the future, the king of this empire would cause many disputes if he took the opportunity to say that the city was his.
Ye Mo knew that right now, no one coveted the City of Ink and Moon because of the lack of aura stash. Once he built it and hit the spirit veins to form a big commercial city, there would be plenty of cultivators who would covet it. Once the cultivators seized this loophole and let the Han Liang Empire take back Mo Yue City, he would not be able to stand up to reason.
Although this was a place where strength was paramount, when strength was equal, reason had to stand its ground.
The king of the Han Liang Empire was only a mere Qi cultivator, so how could he stand up to Ye Mo’s aura and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and arrows.
Ge Lian felt Ye Mo’s powerful aura and was secretly shocked, this Ye City Lord had such a strong aura, this kind of aura even he himself might not be able to emit, was he really a third level YuanYing cultivator?
Others did not know, but he, Ge Lian, had come from the third YuanYing layer. He certainly knew that the early YuanYing stage and the middle YuanYing stage were a huge gulf, while the middle YuanYing stage and the late YuanYing stage were equally a huge heavenly gulf. Ye Mo was able to release an aura that scared his own heart, so obviously his cultivation level was very uncomplicated.
Ge Lian did not stand out to speak, no matter what Ye Mo did, he was the beneficiary. One reason why they could stay in the Han Liang Empire was that the royal family of the Han Liang Empire also had their own YuanYing cultivators, they were just always cultivating and never showed their faces. The second was that almost all of their cultivation resources were provided by the Han Liang Empire, so they didn’t have to go out and find them themselves at all.
It was only in his heart that he complained about the king and Ye Mo, although he was the king of an empire, but you are a Qi training disciple who wants to talk about bestowing in front of a YuanYing cultivator, isn’t that asking for trouble. And that Ye City Lord, you are already a YuanYing cultivator, you know that people are just having a good time, so why don’t you just treat it as a fart?
Of course Ye Mo would not take this king’s words as a ting, fart, even if this king did not say it, he would still take the initiative to say it. Now that he said it, that was just right. Moreover, from the depths of this king’s eyes, Ye Mo could tell that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person, and his gaze was introspective when he spoke, so it was obvious that what was in his heart was simply different from what he was saying.
Or perhaps he was simply preparing for the recovery of Shuanghe City in the future. It looked like his previous thought that this king did not care about the City of Moons at all was incorrect. Although Ye Mo did not know how this king, who was only a Qi Practitioner stage cultivator, could have so much courage, he cared even more about the ownership of the City of Ink and Moon.
Ge Lian did not speak, and You Fluttering would not speak even more. The cultivator of the first layer of YuanYing, called RongZheng, was too low and did not come out to speak either.
But Qi Zai Fang, who was at the fifth level of YuanYing, suddenly stood up and stared coldly at Ye Mo and said, “City Master Ye, have you come to my Han Liang Empire to establish your authority?”
