The sight of this attracted quite a lot of attention. Even the roughly one dozen members of the escort party had seen what was happening. When they noticed that Ye Mo was the one being pursued by the imperial guard, their expressions shifted greatly.

“Brother Hu, do we save him or not?” asked a woman.

“Let’s keep observing for now. If it is safe to do so, we will save him. If not, we might die together with him instead,” Brother Hu said while frowning.

“Ye Mo, if you are allowed to escape the Heaven Wall’s City, it will be too unbecoming of us, the imperial guards. I will capture you alive and deliver you to Young Master Cao. He will definitely reward me for it. With the reward I stand to gain, using this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda Seal on you is worthwhile,” said the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior with a faint smile. The other imperial guards behind him were also smiling sinisterly.

“You think that is enough to suppress me? You think too highly on that seal.”

Rumble!

A rumbling explosion sounded from within the pagoda. This wasn’t the sound of Ye Mo being brushed by the pagoda. Rather, the sound came from the ruins. As for the pagoda, it was slowly being devoured by Ye Mo.

Ye Mo flew high up into the air with a crimson flag in his hand. That was the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag, currently shining with a crimson glow, looking incredibly vicious. When the imperial guards saw this, their expressions shifted drastically. All of them believed that it was actually the flag that had defeated the pagoda.

“Ye Mo, what is that flag? It does not look like a normal item.”

“Of course it’s not a normal item. It is a Spirit Weapon that will send all of you to the afterlife.”

Then, Ye Mo waved the flag. Numerous beams of crimson light shot out and converged above the imperial guards before forming numerous huge crimson flags that immediately began surrounding them. They were completed surrounded by the flags, with no way of escaping.

Immediately, miserable screams rang out. Violent energy surged out of the flag formation without stopping. No matter what they did, they could not escape the formation.

“This Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag is indeed powerful. It is actually capable of trapping Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors.” Ye Mo sighed with admiration. However, he was also aware that this splendid effect was also in part due to his Dragon Power that had enabled him to continuously use this flag. After all, a certain degree of strength would be required to use any Spirit Weapons or Magic Weapons.

After trapping the imperial guards, Ye Mo shot straight towards the gate of the Heaven’s Wall City without hesitation. It would not be easy to fly out the tall city wall. The higher the height, the harder the flight would be. In any case, Ye Mo had yet to actually reached the level where he could form his energy wings.

“Whatever!” Just as Ye Mo wanted to scale the walls, numerous imperial guards appeared above the walls. All of them were holding crossbows and raining arrows down at him, blocking all his escape path. A crossbow attack at this level was something capable of filling even an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior with holes.

“Huah!” Pouring his Dragon Power on the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag, Ye Mo waved the flag around again. A huge crimson flag appeared in the sky and covered Ye Mo’s entire body. The arrows all landed on the flag, unable to do anything to Ye Mo.

“This Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag is indeed powerful. But normal warriors will not have sufficient Yuanli to fully utilize its power.”

After Ye Mo blocked the arrows, the imperial guards reacted quickly and started shooting another round of arrows at him. Of course, Ye Mo would not give them a chance to attack.

He waved his Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag and sent rays of crimson beams out to envelope the entire wall. Numerous huge flags appeared and trapped all the imperial guards on the wall. Ye Mo did not hesitate and immediately shot straight towards the wall.

Boom!

Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt descended from the sky. It was as thick as a tree and with a momentous might, it landed on Ye Mo’s head. It arrived quickly and blasted Ye Mo’s body, sending him tumbling down on the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Then, with a purple flash, a figure appeared midair. He had a pair of purple lightning wings that were flapping about as he hovered there. With each flap, lightning would curl around him.

“Surprisingly, you actually have the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag on you. This Spirit Weapon is an evil weapon. This point alone qualifies you for the death sentence. Moreover, you had also killed so many of our Cao Clan’s trainee soldiers. Death is your only ending. Tell me, how do you prefer to die?”

Cao Zheng looked at Ye Mo with a gaze a superior being would use on an inferior being. Ye Mo trembled and shook off the lightning from his body. After wiping the bloodstain from his mouth, he said, “The Cao Clan’s trainee soldiers had forcefully intruded upon the rear hall of the Qi Clan. As the captain of the Qi Clan’s escort party, I have the authority to kill them.”

“A warrior that comes from some countryside like you is being so arrogant at Heaven’s Wall City just because you have some talent. Do you know that in Heaven’s Wall City, you are nothing?”

Abruptly, Cao Zheng moved and turned into a vicious eagle that charged at Ye Mo. A purple lighting spear immediately formed in his talons and stabbed at Ye Mo’s direction.

“Die!”

“This is bad!” When Ling’er saw this, her expression shifted. Unfortunately, it was already too late for her to do anything. Ye Mo waved the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag and formed layers of defensive barriers with the numerous flags that appeared. Unfortunately, the layers of barriers were akin to paper before Cao Zheng. With wide eyes, Ye Mo watched on as the purple spear stabbed at him.

Bang!

A black flash appeared and blasted the purple lightning spear sideways. Senior Ying appeared and stood before Ye Mo with his hands clasped behind him.

“Senior Ying, what is the meaning of this?” Cao Zheng asked coldy while looking at Senior Ying from high above.

“I owe Ye Mo a favor. I hope you, Young Master Cao, can give me face and let him off this time,” Senior Ying said.

“Give you face?” Cao Zheng sneered and arrogantly said, “How much is your face even worth? You are merely a servant of the Qi Clan. You are nothing to a noble like me. Since you insist on protecting Ye Mo, I will have to capture you as well.”

“Senior Ying, thank you. But I think it’s still better for you to leave.”

This Cao Zheng was one of the elites of the young generation here at Heaven’s Wall City while his father was favored by the emperor. His background was nearly without equal. Even if Senior Ying was a True Energy Realm expert, things wouldn’t end well for him if he provoked someone like this.

“Ye Mo! You!”

Ye Mo waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to say anything. I understand. It won’t be that easy for that Cao Zheng to kill me.”

“Yeah, if you want to kill our captain, you have to first ask us about it.”

Suddenly, Brother Hu and the rest of the party charged out and stood beside Ye Mo.

“You are thinking of stopping me with just these guys?”

Cao Zheng hovered in the air and did not bother stopping them. With his status and strength, it would not matter however many people arrived.

“You guys…” Ye Mo looked at the newcomers and a layer of mist covered his eyes. Not many people would stand up for him when he was in trouble.
