Chapter 526 - Qingyun Path

Chapter 526: Qingyun Path
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Qingyun Path was the training path opened by the first League head. Inside were geniuses from other Kingdom trials. Only the Qingyun League’s top geniuses, the Chief Elect Members, were qualified to enter.
Before Yun Tianxie had finished speaking, Ye Mo had already left.
The path was a road to heaven. This so-called road to heaven didn’t stretch to the horizon, but, instead, within the path, there were chances to get treasures for the road to heaven. But many martial artists would eventually fall in the middle of the path. Even the Tianwu Kingdom, a low-level kingdom, opened this path. Of course, many mid-level kingdoms and high-level kingdoms also opened this path.
Every day hundreds of genius youths entered the path to begin the trials and to slaughter each other while competing for the inheritance and treasures. Those who leave the path alive would reap the benefits for life. But there was always the chance of failure.
The entrance to the path was open. Ye Mo didn’t hesitate. He walked straight in. After a few steps, Ye Mo felt a vast expanse of energy. The essence of the energy was the same as Immemorial Energy, but it was far less pure, so absorbing it by force wasn’t good for Ye Mo.


The road that Ye Mo took was the road towards the training path. It may be possible to meet geniuses from other kingdoms at the end of the path.

This place seems to be an ancient relic, a passage formed through space.

Everywhere was surrounded by the energy, and the ground was covered with a special type of soil, with a hint of ancient force. Ye Mo could see things in the distance, dilapidated buildings, stone pillars, shrines, and even the remains of corpses. The sight was very shocking.
Ye Mo explored his surroundings but couldn’t find any sign of life.

The first League head must have been a power person,
Ye Mo said
This place was full of desolate forces. It was an ancient battlefield.
Ye Mo kept walking forward, looking for Yun Chuchu. Suddenly, he smelled blood. In the distance was a deserted temple with several corpses. Blood stained the ground, and the space still had the fluctuation of True Energy. Ye Mo covered the corpses with the power of the Caged Prison Dragon. He learned that the people hadn’t died long ago, and that their strength was around the True Energy Realm.
This area is still part of the Qingyun Path, Ye Mo thought to himself. Based on their clothes, these aren’t people from the Tianwu Kingdom. Could something have happened to Chuchu?
Ye Mo once again spread the power of his Caged Prison Dragon. He began tracking the force back to where it began. Sure enough, there were several forces within the vicinity, and Ye Mo could also detect a very familiar force.
Yes, this force is very familiar, Ye Mo thought. It must be Chuchu. She’s close by.


Ye Mo quickly chased after a few moving forces.
Xiu!
Just as Ye Mo stepped forward, a figure suddenly burst out of an abandoned temple. The figure was dark all over and held a black dagger in one hand. With a stab of the dagger, it turned into a black shadow in mid-air. Like a stream of black lines, it attacked Ye Mo.
This was an expert in the late stage Heaven’s Gate Realm. This assassination had a unique assassination path. It was actually more powerful than the Will of Slaughter Ye Mo had comprehended before. His attack not only didn’t fluctuate, but it was also extremely fast. If Ye Mo had been an average expert in the Energy Burst Realm, the assassin might not have killed him, but he would have at least landed a hit.
This was the horror of the assassination path. They weren’t afraid of you. With a successful sneak attack, they could still kill you, no matter how strong you were. Ye Mo had used sneak attacks more than once to kill opponents stronger than himself.
When Ye Mo felt this move, he didn’t respond. Against an absolute defense, any assassination attempt was useless. As for the assassin, when he saw that he had succeeded, his heart was not moved. But when his dagger cut into Ye Mo’s neck, he realized that the neck he cut wasn’t flesh and blood. Instead, it was steel that was impossible to cut. The martial artist was stupefied at first, before he shouted ‘not good’. He pushed off against the ground, trying to escape. The assassin’s assassination had failed; his first thought was to escape.
But just as he was about to flee, Ye Mo stretched, grabbed his hand and coldly said,
How dare you. You dare to assassinate me? Which kingdom are you from?


You, how could you have ignored my attack?
the assassin asked, eye wide.
My weapon’s a high-grade Spirit Weapon. Even the flesh and blood of people in the Energy Burst Realm couldn’t have resisted my sneak attack.

The martial artist was shocked that he had been captured. He was one of the best ninjas in the Dao Kingdom. He specialized in the Path of Assassination. He could kill any experts in the Heaven’s Strength Realm with one blow without any mistakes.

I saw your sneak attack coming a while ago,
Ye Mo said calmly.
It’s just that no matter how you try to sneak up on me, you can’t hurt me. I didn’t bother stopping you. I didn’t expect that you, an assassin, would be so levelheaded. When you found out that you had failed your assassination, you immediately decided to escape.




I’m one of the best ninjas in Dao Kingdom, and I practice is the Path of Assassination,
That black-clothed martial artist said with pride.

I don’t care who you are,
Ye Mo said impatiently.
If you want to live, then answer my question honestly. I saw the corpses just now, they died not long ago. Who killed them?


Ninjas from the Dao Kingdom,
the black-clothed man said, not realizing he sealed his fate.
Those people were too weak. One strike killed them. But there was a woman that wasn’t bad. She displayed the Will of Firecloud. It helped her hide herself, so our assassination failed. But I don’t think she can hold on for much longer.


Where are your companions?
Ye Mo asked, barely choking back his anger. When he heard about the Will of Firecloud, he almost exploded.

Let me tell you, you better let me go now,
the assassin said arrogantly.
Who knows, maybe my companions have already killed that woman and taken her Spirit Weapon. Currently I have a late Heaven’s Strength Realm martial artist hiding nearby. His assassination skill is very powerful. He’s the son of the Assassination God from our Dao Kingdom. He also possesses a Bejeweled Weapon dagger. If he attacks you, you won’t be able to escape, no matter how you try.


I asked you where your companion is,
Ye Mo said. His grip on the man’s neck began to tighten.
He doesn’t need to come find me. I’ll go find him.


En en! The woman fled towards the lowest temple up ahead. My partner chased after her.
The blacked clothed man began to struggle.
Ye Mo tightened his grip once again as he crushed the black clothed man’s neck. The man screamed before his head fell to the ground. Ye Mo took the man’s Dimensional Bracelet before throwing away his body. Ye Mo raced toward the shabby temple up ahead.

If something happened to Chuchu, I’ll personally destroy the Dao Empire!
Ye Mo promised.
