The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 708: Hidden In The Castellan Estate

“This person is so good that I’m afraid I may not be able to compete against him even at my peak. I won’t be able to defeat him until I’ve advanced to the Transcendence Seventh Realm and awakened more Caged Dragon Power.”

Ye Mo, who’d been hit by Fengong Wuliang, tried to control his Force as much as possible. He couldn’t go back to the merchant house. With the methods Fengong Wuliang used, he would certainly find out that Ye Mo was from the merchant house.

He had to find a place to heal his injuries, fast.

Going outside the Ice City was impossible.

Before long, Ye Mo saw a large number of city guards. They had begun to search door to door. The city guards were all in the Transcendence Sixth and Transcendence Seventh Realm. Once they found Ye Mo, there would be a huge commotion, and Fengong Wuliang would find him.

“Brother Ye Mo, the most dangerous place is the safest place,” Ling’er said. “You might as well go hide in the Castellan Estate, where the Castellan Lord lives. I don’t think that Fengong Wuliang would dare to lead city guards there and break into the Estate to search.”

“That’s a good idea, I’ll hide in the Castellan Estate and slowly heal my wounds,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll also absorb my other two drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood. Then I’ll refine that Icefire Spear. I should be able to break through to the Transcendence Seventh Realm.

After he made up his mind, Ye Mo decided to sneak into the Castellan Estate.

The strength of the city guards guarding the Castellan Estate was only in the Transcendence Fifth Realm and Transcendence Sixth Realm. If Ye Mo wanted to sneak in silently, it would be very simple.

But Ye Mo didn’t dare to be too careless, because he could feel an extremely powerful Force from inside. That Force was so cold that it seemed to be able to freeze his Caged Dragon Power.

“I’ll first find a place to hide and then recover from my injuries.”

Ye Mo’s body flashed and turned into a dark shadow. He jumped around inside the Estate and then decided on a room.

He pushed open the door and went in, closing the doors behind him. There was no one inside, but the place was very clean.

“This room looks like a woman’s room,” Ye Mo said. “Could someone be living here?”

“I think a servant girl of the Castellan Estate lives here,” Ling’er also said.

Ye Mo nodded. Without hesitation, he hid in a corner that was hard for ordinary people to see. He held back his Force and then activated the Light of Glorious Sun and the Five Elements Water True Energy. He began to treat his injures.

A candle’s time passed before he heard the sound of the doors open. Ye Mo frowned. He only relaxed after he had sensed that it was two servant girls who had walked in.

“The Castellan Lord has been practicing too hard these days.”

“The Castellan Lord is the same age as us, yet she’s cultivated to the Profound Heavens Realm. She must have suffered a lot when she was in the Zone of Chaos.

“Yes, that’s right. But it’s due to a lot of pressure. That Fengong Wuliang keeps relying on the fact that his brother is the Castellan Lord of the Skyburn City to put pressure on the Castellan Lord to marry his son, Fen Qiangtu. It’s too evil.”

“As a matter of fact, the Castellan Lord already has someone in her heart.”

“You don’t say such a thing. If Fen Qiantu hears about this, he’ll make you a prostitute slave.”

“I’m always with the Castellan Lord, so of course I know about it. Every time the Castellan Lord finishes cultivating, she falls into a short period of lifelessness. It looks like a Zhi Nu thinking of Niu Lang.”

“Tsk. Tsk. I didn’t expect the Castellan Lord, so white and icy, to have someone she likes.”

As soon as the two servant girls entered the room, they began to have a conversation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“If there’s a servant girl inside, come out quickly,” a voice shouted from outside the room, “A spy has appeared in the barracks. The deputy castellan, Fengong Wuliang, wants to arrest him. Hurry up and come out now. The deputy castellan wants to ask you questions.”

“A spy?” The two servant girls trembled. They swept their eyes around the room and said, “We’ll come out right away.”

“Fengong Wuliang is too arrogant. He broke into the Castellan Estate without asking the Castellan Lord for permission.”

The two servant girls walked out of the room angrily.

“Don’t act rashly.” Seeing that Ye Mo wanted to rush out, Ling’er immediately reminded him, “Let’s wait and see what happens. Have you not noticed that a large number of city guards have surrounded the Castellan Estate? If you rush out now, then you’ll be going to your death.”

“All right. Let’s observe the situation first.”

Within the Estate, the servant girls were called out. They were each questioned in turn by a city guard in the Transcendence Eighth Realm.

“My name is Ba Tian. You can call me Captain Ba. I will ask you all again, are you sure there are no spies hiding in the Castellan Estate?” A fat man looked at the servant girls standing in a row in front of him and asked, wandering back and forth in front of them.

“Captain Ba, we didn’t see anyone. If they really wanted to hide, how could we notice it?” one of the smaller servant girls said.

“You’re right. Men, go search everywhere. Leave no stone unturned. As soon as you find the spy, inform the deputy castellan immediately.”

“Yes!”

“Wait!”

At that moment, the housekeeper of the Castellan Estate, an old man, walked over and said coldly, “How dare you break into the Castellan Estate? Who gave you the right to do so? Are you trying to rebel?”

“Housekeeper Zhang.” Ba Tian cupped his hands at the housekeeper and said, “I am Ba Tian. I’ve come under the orders of the Castellan to arrest the spy. I hope you don’t interfere with my official business.”

“Interfere with official business?” Houskeeper Zhang said coldly. “The Castellan Lord is currently training behind closed doors. Did you ask permission from the Castellan Lord for your so-called official business? Did you ask the Castellan Lord for permission to enter the Castellan Estate? If the Castellan Lord asks about this, can you take responsibility for it?”

“Housekeeper Zhang, what bold words,” a voice sounded.

Fengong Wuliang descended from the sky and landed in front of housekeeper Zhang. “Ba Tian, the whole city has to be searched. The spy is likely hiding inside the Castellan Estate. Go search. If the Castellan Lord asks, I will explain it to her.”

The Devil Refining Gourd was an Immortal Weapon. Even if Fengong Wuliang had to offend Yao Yue, he still wanted to find Ye Mo.

“Yes, sir!” Ba Tian cupped his hand. Then, he waved his hand, and all the city guards behind him began to search the rooms.

“Ling’er, what should we do now?” Ye Mo asked anxiously. He had heard the voices outside. Fengong Wuliang was here.

“Wait for them to come in and kill them without a sound,” Ling’er said. “Then, pretend to be them.”

“No. What if the opponents are too strong?” Hong Ling said.

“It’s better than sitting around waiting to die.”

Ye Mo used the method Ling’er had suggested. Murder was brewing everywhere. No matter how many people came in, he wanted to kill them with one move.

Creak!

The door was pushed open and five people entered. The strongest was Ba Tian, who was in the Transcendence Eighth Realm. The other four city guards were in the Transcendence Seventh Realm.

Kill!

The Force burst out. It surprised Ba Tian. The five people saw a dark shadow flash. Then, they saw scenes of horror appear in front of them. The summon of death and the judgment of the Deathgod left them unable to move their feet.

“Humph!” Ba Tian shook. The fat on his body shook and became slippery. When Ye Mo’s long spear stabbed his skin, it skidded off of him.

This was hard for him to imagine.
