Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Barbarians wanted Ye Mo’s head so much that Man Weiwu even called their High Priest out.

“Don’t you dare threaten us! Do you think we are some weak clan that would bow before you Barbarians?” Xiao Yuanshan shouted. The disciples of the Xiao Clan all cheered on their clan head’s words. They were always bullied by the Qin and Mo Clan. Now that Xiao Yuanshan had finally broken through into the True Energy Realm, they had a way to retaliate.

“You must be Xiao Yuanshan of the Xiao clan,” the High Priest said. “Even if Man Tai is dead, I’m still planning on having the marriage. We still have Man Qi, a genius who had reached the Energy Shaping First Realm by the age of 18. You should thank us for letting Xiao Yue marry such a talented kid.”

“So what?” Ye Mo shouted furiously. “Energy Shaping Realm at the age of 18? Your genius is just a weakling in front of me. Yueyue is not someone that you Barbarians could ever hope to get your hands on.”

“What nerves! Man Qi would even be considered a genius in the Qinyun Alliance. He’s much more than enough to be Xiao Yue’s husband,” Man Weiwu laughed. “Fine, since you said that he’s a weakling, why don’t we have a bet?”

“What bet?” Ye Mo asked.

“My son, Man Qi, will wait for you to finish the Limestone Champion List that’s going to go down in seven days,” Man Weiwu said. “After the tournament has ended, you will have a match with him. We’ll settle all of our disputes once and for all.”

“Man Weiwu, this isn’t fair!” Madame Xiao scolded. “Ye Mo is three years younger than Man Qi and is still a Spirit Cultivating Fourth Realm warrior. How is he supposed to defeat your son?”

Ye Mo could feel someone staring at him, and he noticed it was Man Qi. Man Qi had crossed his arm and was looking at Ye Mo with disdain. It was like Man Qi’s eyes were showing Ye Mo the difference between the Energy Shaping Realm and Spirit Cultivating Realm.

Ye Mo could defeat a Half-Energy Shaping Realm warrior if he really tried, but he definitely had no hope in the face of a true Energy Shaping First Realm warrior unless he managed to find a way to break through and awaken a few more Dragon Energies before the tournament.

“Ye Mo was the one who said my son was nothing in front of him,” Man Weiwu said. “That means he has something up his sleeve. If my son loses, then we’ll walk away from all of our grudges and even give you the Frozen Silkworm. But if Ye Mo loses, you’ll have to hand him over, or else I’ll wipe the Xiao Clan off the face of the earth like the Mo Clan.”

“Do you think I’m scared of you? I’ll protect Ye Mo no matter what!” Xiao Yuanshan shouted as he readied his posture to fight. “He’s worth more than 10 Man Qi’s! If you insist on taking him, then we’ll fight you!”

“Mr. Xiao, please, stop,” Ye Mo said and tried to stop Xiao Yuanshan. “This fight will cost the Xiao Clan everything. It’s not worth it.”

Ye Mo turned towards Man Weiwu and said, “All right, I’ll agree on the fight. Seven days after the end of the tournament, I’ll have a fight with your son.”

Everyone present was shocked by Ye Mo’s words. They knew the difference in strength between Ye Mo and Man Qi and wondered what Ye Mo had in mind.

“Are you sure you can win against him?” Xiao Yuanshan asked.

“Yes.” Ye Mo nodded.

“Good! Let’s go!” Man Weiwu laughed as he ordered the Barbarians to stand down and leave.

“Wait!” Ye Mo shouted.

“What now? Are you regretting it already?” Man Qi said. “Well, I won’t blame you if you forfeit the bet since it’s just stalling time before your death.”

“Of course not,” Ye Mo said. “I just want to know what proof you guys have that you’ll leave me alone if I win the match.”

“Do you really think you can beat me?” Man Qi laughed.

Even the Barbarian warriors laughed at Ye Mo as they thought the bet was just there to delay Ye Mo’s death. There was no way that Ye Mo could defeat Man Qi.

“It’s still a bet, is it not?” Ye Mo said, ignoring their laughter. “Even if my odds are zero, there are still rules to follow.”

“Fine. We’ll swear in the name of the Barbarian God that if I, Man Qi, lose in the match, we’ll walk away from all of the grudges we have with Ye Mo,” Man Qi said. “If we violate the rules, the wrath of the Barbarian God will descend on us!”

The Barbarian God was the totem of the Barbarians. Swearing to the Barbarian God meant that they would keep their word.

“Then I’ll see you in seven days!” Man Qi shouted as he turned and left.

Some of the clan members went into the Xiao mansion after the Barbarians had left to congratulate Xiao Yuanshan on his advancement.

“I never thought that you would reach the True Energy Realm so early!” one of the smaller clan’s head said. “Looks like Xiao clan has the potential to become the largest clan in all of Limestone City one day.”

Qin Hao had an angry expression on his face as he turned and left without saying a word.

There were two headlines in the news that day, one of which was that Ye Mo was going to have a fight to the death with Man Qi in seven days at the city square.

The other one was that Xiao Yuanshan had advanced into the True Energy Realm, which made the Qin and Ye clans restless.

A True Energy Realm warrior could wipe out the Qin and Ye clans without even flinching if he were to ignore the rules set by the Three Major Alliances.

Just as the Barbarians were leaving the Limestone City, a man dressed in a white robe was walking proudly towards the Ye Mansion.

It was Ye Changsheng, who had finally reached the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm at the younge age of just 15.

“Even though Master Xuan Ji knows my father, I never thought she’d helped me raise my level to the Ninth Realm by using her Energy Seed. Now I can destroy Ye Mo like a fly!”
