Once again, Ye Mo sank doubted.

“What’s going on?” Ye Mo shook his head and questioned himself repeatedly.

Ye Mo remained in this state of confusion for 10 straight days. But for some reason, he wasn’t transported out the door.

In the outside world, the other five disciples had already reappeared, Taiyi Qinglian included. She had also failed.

But not one of the six elders and five disciples had left.

They were all waiting for Ye Mo. This was the first time a disciple had remained in the Six Daos Door for 10 days without being transported out.

“It’s been 10 days,” one of the elders said. “And Ye Mo is still in there.”

“He’s probably died inside,” Elder Wu Tian said with a sneer. “Otherwise, how is it possible for him to stay inside for 10 days?”

When Lin Langya heard that, he smiled proudly. Although they had all failed to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation, they still did better than Ye Mo, who had gotten himself killed inside.

“Although the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation is very difficult to comprehend, I’m confident Junior Brother Ye Mo will be able to do it,” Taiyi Qinglian said, brows furrowed.

“Taiyi Qinglian, if even someone with your talent failed to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation, Ye Mo has most likely died inside.”

Despite Taiyi Qinglian’s words, it was clear from her expression that she wasn’t very confident in Ye Mo’s odds of comprehending the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation as well. Realizing that, Elder Wu Tian had spoken those words to further break her confidence.

“Wu Tian, are you interested in making a small bet with me?” the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber asked Wu Tian.

“Oh? What bet does Saint Ancestor propose?” Elder Wu Tian raised his brow and looked at Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber as he asked curiously.

“Since you’re so sure that my disciple has died inside the door, let’s make a bet about him,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said, hovering in the air, eyes narrowed. “If my disciple is not dead, and can successfully comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation, you will owe me 1,000 Transcendence Pills. If I lose, I’ll pay you 1,000 Transcendence Pills instead. What do you think?”

For normal elders, 1,000 Transcendence Pills was a large sum of wealth. But for Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, it was just a small bet. When the other elders and disciples heard her, they blushed with shame at their poverty.

The Saint Ancestor was indeed the Saint Ancestor, a person of great wealth, wealth that qualified her to be as willful as she was.

“1,000 Transcendence Pills?” Elder Wu Tian furrowed his brows. For Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, 1,000 Transcendence Pills was nothing. She wouldn’t feel anything even if she lost. But for him, losing would be like someone carving a chunk of his flesh away from him.

But he was certain that Ye Mo would never be able to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation. Many disciples much more talented than Ye Mo had failed. How could Ye Mo succeed where they had failed.

“Fine, I agree,” Elder Wu Tian said through clenched teeth. Although it would hurt to lose, if he won, it would be a lot of cultivation resources for him.

Time passed, and on the 14th day, Ye Mo was still nowhere to be seen. Some elders were already leaving with their disciples.

“Saint Ancestor, we can’t keep waiting indefinitely, right?” Elder Wu Tian was also losing his patience.

“Wait one more day,” Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber said. “If Ye Mo is still not out by then, I’ll accept defeat.”

Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber furrowed her brows. Evidently, she was also losing confidence in Ye Mo at this point.

Everything was calm and peaceful outside the Six Daos Door, but a major event had happened at the Tianwu Kingdom.

The three major leagues had all gathered their forces at the Qingyun League.

The leaders of the Martial Faction, led by Xuan Ji were present at the League Chief Pavilion of Qingyun League. They were all Energy Burst Realm warriors and above, and there were dozens of Spirit Devour Realm experts in attendance as well.

The elders, league chiefs, Lin Tianya the God of Sword, Castellan Cai Ling, and the various experts were also there. They were holding a top-secret meeting.

“Everyone, tomorrow at noon, Xuan Qiu will be publicly executed as a message to all who would resist Cao Zhengchun,” Xuan Ji said. “Although I never maintained much communication with my sister, she is ultimately captured because of the help she gave Ye Mo and Yao Yue. What does everyone think about this?”

Xuan Ji was already at the Transcendence Realm. She’d become the number one person of the Martial Faction, also the only person there capable of matching Cao Zhengchun in a fight.

When the others heard Ye Mo’s name, they all sighed. Everything had started because of Ye Mo. He was the reason an all-out war had started between the Martial Faction and the Emperor Faction.

But then again, they all also knew that Ye Mo was just the light that sparked the fuse of this inevitable war.

“I wonder how is Ye Mo doing nowadays,” Yun Tianxie sighed. Ever since Ye Mo had fled the Tianwu Kingdom, Yun Chuchu’s temperament had changed completely. She spent all her time cultivating to become stronger, to one day see Ye Mo again.

“Ye Mo will never stay silent wherever he goes,” Cai Ling said with a faint smile on her face. When she recalled the time she spent with Ye Mo before, a sweet feeling rose in her heart. That might have been the happiest time in her life.

Although at the time Ye Mo was just a kid that hadn’t even reached the Energy Shaping Realm, his wit, intelligence and perseverance had deeply moved her.

“He’ll return,” Yao Qingyun declared confidently.

“So what if he returns?” Lin Tianya, the God of Sword shook his head. A genius still required time to grow. “Do you think he can shift the tide of war, completely changing our current situation? He might be capable of that one day, after a few years. But by then, the Tianwu Emperor will have left his seclusion as well. When he does, everything is over for us.”

“I’m not here to listen to nonsense.” Xuan Ji furrowed her brows. “What do all of you think about the execution tomorrow?”

In truth, she didn’t want to see Ye Mo return at all. She only hoped Ye Mo could cultivate peacefully somewhere else. She would shoulder all the burden here for him.

“Xuan Qiu’s execution tomorrow will be overseen by Tang Hao, the deputy commander of the imperial guards. He’s already reached peak stage Spirit Devour Realm. Experts will no doubt be lying in ambush too. If Xuan Ji doesn’t make a move personally, nobody will be able to rescue Xuan Qiu.”

“Cao Zhengchun will be hidden nearby as well. The only reason he’s ordered this public execution is to lure Xuan Ji into the open. The moment Xuan Ji is captured, the Martial Faction is finished.”

“Our only choice is to sacrifice Xuan Qiu.”

The experts started their discussion.

“But Xuan Qiu is my sister,” Xuan Ji said when they had finished talking. “How can I let her be executed while I do nothing?”

“Lord Xuan Ji, your safety ensures the survival of the Martial Faction,” an Energy Burst Realm elder said. “You can’t act rashly.”

“That’s right. The only reason Cao Zhengchun did this is to force you out of hiding. We can’t fall for his trick.”

“Lord Xuan Ji, please think about the overall situation. Not even Xuan Qiu would want to see you die trying to rescue her.”

Nearly 80% of the people there were of the opinion that Xuan Ji shouldn’t act rashly. Her life was the life of the Martial Faction itself. If she decided to save Xuan Qiu, she would be walking directly into their enemy’s trap.
