“Alright, I will remove the Energy Gathering Formation from the East Gate training area. If the Energy Gathering Seal that you cultivated is capable of displaying an Energy Gathering Formation as strong as you claim, you will have successfully convinced me.”
As Hua Musheng spoke, others from the Hua Clan nodded their heads in agreement as well.
Ye Mo was extremely powerful. If his talent in seal techniques were equally as frightening, it would definitely receive their respect.
“Go ahead then!”
After he spoke, the group of people slowly walked towards the East Gate training area. There were already more than 10 fighters in the area seated in training. This Energy Gathering Formation could only contain 10 people and was only suitable for fighters training fire elemental martial techniques.
Outside of the Energy Gathering Formation, there were over 30 other fighters waiting.
As they arrived at the East Gate training area, those ten or so fighters who were deep in concentration in their training all opened their eyes. Upon seeing numerous huge figures arriving, they instantly jumped up in shock, walking out of the Formation.
“I will now remove the Formation!”
As Hua Musheng spoke, a pair of True Energy wings stretched out as she flew upwards. With a reach of her hands, the seal completely shattered and the Formation ceased to exist. On the ground, there was a hole that could be seen with energy continuously flowing out of it.
This Formation relied on the energy deep within the ground to continue to be sustained. These locations were called Energy Mines.
Setting up a Magical Formation required an Energy Mine for the Formation to sustain itself.
As fighters trained, what they absorbed from the surroundings was different from the energy used to maintain such Formations.
The fighters standing in the training area felt their hearts ache upon seeing what was happening. This was an Energy Gathering Seal, a single seal that cost an ungodly amount of resources — how could one destroy it so nonchalantly?
“Everyone, give us some space!”
As Ye Mo spoke, the seal in his hand shot up straight into the sky. His body followed the seal, exploding into the air. Making use of his own energy strength, he connected with the energy deep within the ground.
Following that, the seal expanded, spiraling in the air. Once it reached a certain size, the seal displayed five different colored forms of energy, an almost a rainbow-like sight, and the light that shone down enshrouded the whole place with a huge Magical Formation.
This Formation was 10 times the size of the previous one.
Everyone present was in shock upon witnessing what had just happened. What kind of seal was this?
“Girls in the training area, regardless of what technique all of you are training for, you can step into this Formation to train. All are allowed to come in and try!” said Ye Mo.
Hearing that, the eyes of the young ladies sparkled as they rushed into the Energy Gathering Formation, finding a place to sit down and begin their training. They soon realized that their training speed was also significantly faster than it was when they were training inside the previous Formation.
“This is magical. Not only is this Formation huge in area, our training speed has also increased.”
Those fighters sitting in the Formation were in no hurry to train, instead feeling a sense of relief.
Seeing the expressions of the young ladies, the result was evident: Ye Mo’s seal indeed had the desired effect.
“Master Ye Mo, you must be sent from the heavens to aid the City of Daughters. With this kind of seal, I am certain that this city will overtake Heaven’s Wall City within the next 10 years. ”
One of the Hua Clan group members opened her mouth to speak. “Not even ten years. Master Ye Mo’s seal technique will surely improve further, allowing him to cultivate a Level Two Energy Gathering Seal. That will boost our city’s training speed even further.”
At this point, it did not matter if it was the Hua Clan or the Liu Clan – everyone looked at Ye Mo with a heart full of admiration.
“Alright, I still have nine of these seals here. Take them and utilize them,” said Ye Mo.
The two clans sent out a few strong fighters respectively to change the Energy Gathering Seals as the others left.
Ye Mo, Cai Ling, Liu Qingcheng, and Hua Musheng prepared to return to the city center to negotiate what was going to happen. However, just as they were about to leave, a female general hurried towards them, holding a secret order in hand.
“City Master, the Emperor has passed down a secret order!”
“Let me see.” Cai Ling frowned slightly, feeling slightly uneasy. Was the news of her strength level heavily decreasing spreading? That could only mean trouble!
The general passed the secret order to Cai Ling. As she opened the order, she read it with a low voice, “Man Tianhe, an elder of the Barbarians, was sentenced to death by his own clan. 27 days have since passed. I order all City Masters to use the remaining three days to find him and kill him. You will be greatly rewarded. Once a month’s time has passed, I will retract the killing order.”
Ye Mo squinted his eyes slightly as he heard the secret order being read out. It turned out that almost a whole month had passed, with three days left before Man Tianhe got to escape from the death sentence ordered by the Barbarians.
“Cai Ling, I heard that the Barbarians had offended the Empress, which resulted in the Emperor deciding to wipe out the whole population. Man Tianhe is the sole survivor — how sad.”
“Man Tianhe has mastered an extremely effective hiding skill, allowing him to remain unfound. Not even fighters in the Spirit Devour Realm will be able to find him. With three days left, it is likely that Man Tianhe is hiding in some corner, training in secret. Once the 30 day deadline is over, he will be considered as a great fighter who will make his name in the Tianwu Kingdom as one of the few to have escaped the Emperor’s death sentence.”
Liu Qingcheng and Hua Musheng started to discuss this new development with each other.
“Wherever Man Tianhe is hiding, it cannot be the City of Daughters. I’m guessing that the Emperor has already sent out the wanted notices to all the cities,” said Cai Ling calmly.
“Three more days, right? Cai Ling, is it possible for me to borrow a fighter with strength level above the True Energy Realm? I need to rush back to Limestone City within these three days,” asked Ye Mo in a panicked tone.
“What’s the matter?” asked Cai Ling.
“The Barbarians being wiped out completely is of a dire consequence for me – if Man Tianhe escapes the death sentence, he will definitely come for me and the Xiao Clan. That old guy is extremely strong. I must return to Limestone City,” said Ye Mo with a solemn expression.
“I see. I will allow Elder Liu to accompany you back to Limestone City. Elder Liu is ultimately still a strong fighter in the Heaven’s Strength Realm, while Man Tianhe is only in the Heaven’s Gate Realm,” said Cai Ling.
“Many thanks. Things cannot be afford to be delayed any further. I’ll have to trouble Elder Liu to accompany me back to Limestone City!”
Getting to Limestone City in three days would be almost impossible. However, Liu Qingcheng had demonstrated her incredible strength worthy of her status of being in the Heaven’s Strength Realm.
She opened up her pair of True Energy Wings, flying in the air and giving off a ferocious authoritative aura. Around her was a True Energy Shield, which also covered Ye Mo, whom she had wrapped her body around.
The speed at which they were traveling was so fast that it caused friction between their surroundings’ True Energy and the air, causing booming thunders as they pierced through the air like a shooting star.
“So this is the strength of a Heaven’s Strength Realm fighter? So strong and so fast!”
Ye Mo completely did not expect Liu Qingcheng’s speed to be so frighteningly fast, rapid enough to cause friction and sparks to appear in the air.
After one day and night’s worth of traveling, just as the sun was about to rise, Liu Qingcheng slowed down her speed. Limestone City was before their eyes.
Liu Qingcheng slowly descended, letting Ye Mo down, her facial expression and breathing all remaining the same.
“Thank you for your troubles, Elder Liu. I can’t believe it only took one day to reach Limestone City,” Ye Mo said with a grateful look on his face. Based on his speed, it would be considered decent if he could reach Limestone City within seven days.
“Master Ye Mo, you are ultimately the hope of City of Daughter’s future. No need to be so formal,” replied Liu Qingcheng.
“Elder Liu, I will have to trouble you to station outside the city for a few days. Man Tianhe’s hatred for me is great. If he escapes the death sentence, I will be the first one he finds to kill. If you return to the city with me, he may not dare to find me for revenge in the Limestone City. I will return to the city to lure him out, and you will follow my instructions and kill him off with a single blow, getting rid of this burden for me.”
