The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 276

Chapter 276 - Onwards to Heaven’s Wall City

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

In order to establish his authority, the man who opposed Ye Mo was directly kicked out of the escort team. Elder Ying did not say much about it either.

The opportunity to join the escort team was a rare one: firstly, one would get to see the Qi Family’s head auctioneer. Secondly, one would get the chance to enter the Imperial Heaven’s Wall City. Thirdly, a feast organized by the Qi Family and great rewards awaited their arrival.

Ye Mo did a count: the escort team contained 12 people, including himself. Amongst the team were three Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters, five Seventh Realm fighters, three Sixth Realm fighters and himself, a Fifth Realm fighter.

If one were to truly compare strength and power, Ye Mo with 1000 rays of Giant Dragon Powers awakened was strong enough to battle an Eighth Realm fighter.

“Alright, since everything has been settled and everyone has come to a consensus, all of you should change into the Qi Clean uniform and act like members of our clan. There is a high possibility of meeting Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters during this escort mission, so be careful. Change into your attire and Captain Ye will bring all of you to the carriage.”

Elder Ying gave Ye Mo a glance before leaving the warehouse.

There were both genders in the team of 12, but the three female fighters in the team were evidently fearless, taking off their coats in front of everyone before changing into the Qi Clan attire.

It went without saying for the men, who cared even less as they brazenly changed into their attires.

All 12 of them were uniformly in white robes.

“Let’s go!”

With Ye Mo, leading the pack, the group left the warehouse and arrived at the road of the Treasure Inspection Guild, which was filled with more than 20 horse carriages all lined up in a single file, spanning hundreds of yards.

The horse in charge of pulling the carriage of goods was no ordinary horse – it was a horned horse comparable to a stallion.

However, stallions could be ridden while horned horses were only useful for pulling carriages.

Xiao Cao and an elder stood beside the carriage, taking stock of the goods while Zhan Jun followed Xiao Cao behind.

“Manager Qi, the escort team is here.”

Zhan Jun lowered his head and informed the elder as he saw the group’s arrival.

Manager Qi looked up and saw 12 fighters in uniform slowly walk towards them. Each of them had a unique aura, and amongst them were even some Energy Shaping Eighth Realm fighters.

Hearing that, Xiao Cao immediately stopped whatever she was doing, and her eyes locked onto Ye Mo. Jogging towards him, she said, “Young master, Elder Ying said that you will be part of the escort team this time. That’s great!”

“Xiao Cao, do you still remember what I told you in the past? I said that I will take good care of you. While you may have been adopted into the Qi Clan as the leader’s daughter, I will still keep my promise regardless. Hence, this time, I will definitely protect you,” said Ye Mo.

“Young Master!”

Xiao Cao’s heart filled with warmth. If she had a choice, she would be willing to stay by Ye Mo’s side as the helper who sewed his clothes and patched him up.

“Hmph!” Seeing what was happening before him, Zhan Jun was filled with anger as he said, “Who is the captain for this escort team? Why are you not taking care of your own member?”

Witnessing this, the fighters standing at the side could not help but laugh mockingly. They were not fools – Zhan Jun’s jealousy was evident.

“Where’s the captain?” Zhan Jun increased the seriousness of his tone, seeing that no one was responding.

Stroking Xiao Cao’s head, Ye Mo told her to go back to her work before he replied Zhan Jun. “Do you have anything for me?”

“You’re the captain?” Zhan Jun was filled with a sudden confusion as he said, “How is this possible? How is it possible that you’re the captain this time? Based on your strength, it is impossible for you to be given the role.”

The people in front of his eyes were all fighters who lived their whole lives on the edge. It was impossible that they would be willing to listen to Ye Mo’s orders.

One of the women stood out and said calmly, “He is indeed our captain, and we are all following his lead.”

“Hmph, since you’re the captain, you should lead by example. Xiao Cao is ultimately still our Qi Clan’s head auctioneer. If there is nothing important, don’t interact with her. All of you, your mission is only to escort!” said Zhan Jun.

“What did you say?” One of the burly men stood out and roared loudly, “Kid, Ye Mo is our captain, he has the right to interact with Miss Xiao Cao. Furthermore, it was Miss Xiao Cao who talked to the captain first.”

The burly man was naturally a loyal man. Having been shocked by Ye Mo’s strength, he took Zhan Jun bullying Ye Mo personally as well.

“You!” Zhan Jun was left furious and speechless by him.

“Me? What about me? Fight me if you can. All you know is pointing fingers behind the back of others. Don’t tell me princes of the Heaven’s Wall City behave like this too?”

As the burly man spoke, the other fighters broke into laughter.

“Alright, stop fighting, the goods have all been accounted for. All of you can be on your way,” said Manager Qi.

“Everyone, there are a total of 20 horse carriages. Energy Shaping Seventh and Eighth Realm fighters, each of you will be responsible of protecting two carriages. Energy Shaping Sixth Realm fighters will protect one horse carriage each,” ordered Ye Mo.

The 12 escort members then chose the horse carriages they were responsible for protecting.

“Young Master, be careful!” Xiao Cao snuck into one of the carriage as she said to Ye Mo, sticking her cute head out. After that, she went back into the carriage.

The escort team finally moved off. Riding on the road, fighters passing by automatically gave way when they saw the Qi Clan Commerce flag hanging on the carriages. With every carriage’s goods enough to form a small mountain, a carriage team hundreds of yards long was indeed a frightening sight,

Seeing the situation, the soldiers guarding the city door also immediately gave way, allowing the escort team to slowly exit the Ancient Martial City and head towards the Heaven’s Wall City.

After they exited the Ancient Martial City, everyone had their guard up, continuously looking around for potential enemy ambushes!

The journey was uneventful. After half a day of travelling, they entered the Forest of Fogs!

The Forest of Fogs was a route that they had to pass through. With the whole forest engulfed in fog, it would definitely be dangerous for one to travel through this place alone. In the forest, there were also plenty of Energy Shaping Realm monsters. However, with a carriage team their size, with more than 10 Energy Shaping Realm fighters, those monsters did not dare to get near them and could only watch on as they left the forest.

It was already night time, and the Forest of Fogs was plunged into darkness. Amidst the surroundings, roars from monsters could be heard sporadically.

Night time was the time when the strongest monsters would appear – the most dangerous time!

Ye Mo waved him hand, signalling for the carriage team to halt! “We shall rest here today. Set up a tent here. The riders will be in charge of setting up the tent, the escort team members will be in charge of patrolling the surroundings. The moment something is not right, immediately send out a signal!”

These riders were evidently professionally trained, taking less than 10 minutes to pitch two tents.

The fighters and riders had no need for the tents, but Xiao Cao and Manager Qi needed rest.

Xiao Cao jumped down from the horse carriage and asked Ye Mo, “Young Master, do you want to come in and rest for a while?”

“Xiao Cao, you should rest early!” said Ye Mo smilingly.

“But I have something I want to tell young master!” Xiao Cao stood beside the tent, her face turning slightly red.

“Wait until we return to the Heaven’s Wall City! Everyone’s safety is the most important,” Ye Mo smiled and told Xiao Cao as he waved at her.

The map piece may have been inside the carriage. For the sake of Xiao Cao’s safety, Ye Mo dared not let his guard down at all.

Xiao Cao nodded with a somewhat dejected expression. Following that, she went back inside the tent.

“Brother Ye Mo, there seems to be something wrong with your girl’s body!”

As soon as Ling’er finished speaking, moments later, a pained scream could be heard from within the tent!
