Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Pinger’s voice suddenly went numb “sorry, brother Wan, if my brother’s wounds don’t heal I won’t go to South Mountain market. If something happens to me, who would take care of my brother?”
Brother Wan’s face sunk and he suddenly said coldly “Xia Pinger, it’s not up to you now. what did you and your brother say. We helped you so you help us scout ahead. What? you want to regret on your words?”
Xia Pinger’s face looked bad and after a long time “brother Wan, sister Huangping wasn’t saved and my brother was heavily injured what do you want?”
Ye Mo looked at this brother Wan, he was in his 40’s and foundation establishment state peak stage. There was a man and woman next to him, they were all ferocious looking and full of killing intent. Clearly, they didn’t kill just one or two people. The other two were both foundation establishment state peak stage.
Ye Mo suddenly walked out to Xia Pinger “sister Pinger, what are you doing here? What happened to your brother?”
Brother Wan gulped down the words he was about to say and started to study Ye Mo.
Xia Pinger looked at Ye Mo in confusion for a long while before she said in surprise and joy “you’re brother Ye, is sister Yangzhu and Ling fine?”
Ye Mo nodded “they’re fine I’m pa.s.sing by here, I didn’t expect to meet you. What happened to your brother, show me.”
Hearing this, Xia Pinger’s face saddened “my brother was beaten heavily a month ago and he still can’t even use chi to recover himself.”
Brother Wan was a little scared seeing that he couldn’t judge Ye Mo’s power level at all but hearing Xia Pinger’s words, clearly they were friends in the past. With Xia Pinger’s power, what powerful friends could she connect with?
Plus, if Ye Mo was really powerful, would he talk to low level cultivators like Xia Pinger?
Thinking about this, Wan said to Ye Mo “friend, Xia Pinger has some business with us now. if you want to find her, come a few days later.”
Ye Mo glanced coldly at this foundation establishment state man and ignored him. He asked Xia Pinger “sister Pinger, what is going on?”
Xia Pinger thought Ye Mo was golden core state cultivator and quickly said “some things happened in the sects so brother, sister Huangping and I left there. We came to Gan Yuan city. As soon as we got to the gates, we saw a notice saying that they need 10 foundation establishment state cultivators to go search an ancient ruin. It didn’t say which ancient ruin but it said the partic.i.p.ants will not regret it.”
Xia Pinger’s eyes went red “many people saw the notice but no one said anything. Sister Ping said it might be a scam, if it was real, it wouldn’t be written out. However, those words offended someone.”
Ye Mo said “that’s very true.”
Xia Pinger said “yes, we thought it was fine but immediately, people said that she can not go but she can’t undermine their notice in front of other cultivators. We apologized immediately but that person told sister Huang Ping to go inside to apologise. After she went inside, she never came out again. Later on, brother and I found out that all those who said bad things about the notice were locked inside a prison. When we were discussing to rescue her, Wan Zhi said they could help and they’ve helped more than once.”
Ye Mo scanned the three and asked “how did they say they were going to rescue?”
Xia Pinger pointed at brother Wan “he said thye had a squad in Gan Yuan city and usually, people would give them some face. If he took his squad and we brought 10k spirit stones, she can be saved.”
Xia Pinger’s tone grew agitated here “my brother and I gathered the spirit stones and went with them to find sister Ping. They took our spirit stones and said it wasn’t enough. Someone in the squad went to argue and they attacked. My brother was heavily injured.”
Hearing this, Ye Mo sneered “was it only your brother who got injured in the squad?”
Xia Pinger nodded and said “yes, I think….”
She didn’t say it but Ye Mo knew she began to suspect but she was by herself and didn’t dare to say it out.
Ye Mo turned around and sneered “nice trap, you left Xia Pinger healthy because she still has some use right?”
Brother Wan frowned “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ye Mo sneered “do I need you to understand?”
Then he flung over a wind blade.
Seeing this, brother Wan almost laughed out. He thought Ye Mo was a golden core state cultivator but now he was clearly a trash cultivator.
But moments later, he couldn’t laugh anymore. He felt he couldn’t move at all and could only watch the wind blade slice him from head down.
Blood splashed out, and Wan fell down in disbelief.
The other two and Xia Pinger were dazed. After a long while Xia Pinger stuttered “Ye, brother Ye you killed him?”
The other two woke up and didn’t dare to ask anything and tried to retreat.
Ye Mo didn’t answer Xia Pinger and looked coldly at the two “if you dare to retreat one more step I’ll kill both of you. I believe Xia Pinger would know where Huang Ping is locked. Do you want to explain things to me and take me there or keep retreating and wait for my wind blade?”
Ye Mo realized why there were less and less cultivators in this city, other than the mist, scam organisations like this could exist publicly.
The middle aged man s.h.i.+vered “qian bei, wan bei will say everything.”
“Hu Shu, you don’t want to live….” the female cultivator said but suddenly felt her head go cold.
Ye Mo didn’t say anything and just looked at the middle aged man.
The man didn’t dare to hide anything and said shakily “it has nothing to do with us, the Gan Yuan city Si family wants us to do this. they told us to do this to cultivators who come here. We don’t know why but they want clean foundation establishment state female cultivator to be sent to the Wan estate and let them eat a few pills. Then we will send them to the mist at the full moon and let out their essence blood in the mist.”
Ye Mo sneered “I was thinking how three insects got extreme grade spirit artefact armor. So this means you have quite some blood in your hands?”
The middle aged man quickly waved his hand “no, qian bei, I rarely kill. It’s all Wan Zhi and Cha Xuefei. I’m just responsible for removing the mist.”
Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense inside this man’s body. There were grey mist inside. In some time, this man’s meridians would crippled. Ye Mo sneered but didn’t tell him and asked coldly “where is Huang Ping?”
Xia Pinger’s face went pale “so the pills you gave us were those pills, you want to take us to the mist too in a few days right?”
Hu Shu nodded timidly “yes, yes, Huang Ping is still in the Si family. When we leave, we will take her from the Si family.”
Ye Mo turned to Xia Pinger “your brother is fine, let’s go Si family first.
Ye Mo said coldly at Hu Shu “lead the way.”
The biggest family here was the Sii family. Soon, they arrived at the door but the scene made even Ye Mo’s skin crawl.
