“Don’t worry, Ye Mo, I will member your kindness forever.” Xue Can smiled smugly as she flew to Li Huangmin’s side and said, “I have the Mountain and River Diagram. Force him to hand over the secret to cultivating the Wooden Restraint Seal, and make sure he dies in his jail cell.”
After that, she flew out of the Mixed Energy World.
As for Ye Mo, he flew in front of Elder Tao Tie. Clenching his fists, he took a deep breath and said, “Elder Tao Tie, I did kill those Saints. I plead guilty.”
“Hmm?” Elder Tao Tie was stunned for a moment before he responded, “Ye Mo, you’ve gotta think this through. The moment you plead guilty, even Bloodsaber won’t be able to save you.”
“I plead guilty!” Ye Mo uttered the painful words.
“Brother Ye Mo, I’ll follow you down to the prison,” Ling’er said.
“Cuff him!”
“Yes, sir!”
Hearing that Ye Mo had pled guilty, Zhang Tianxin was stunned for a moment before he quickly ordered the Punishment Hall Saints to bring over a huge pair of handcuffs, binding both of Ye Mo’s arms and legs.
“These are the Spirit Lock Cuffs, a top-tier treasure item specifically used to deal with Profound World Realm fighters,” Zhang Tianxin said. “It is your honor that these cuffs are being used on you, so you better not struggle. Bring him away.”
After paying respects to Elder Tao Tie, he left the Mixed Energy World.
“Aye, making enemies with the First Heaven Society leads to dire consequences. Young Master Feng Chu is almost back. The Door of Desolation is really going to change. If the Master was still here, how would any of this be happening?”
With a swipe of his sleeve, Elder Tao Tie left the area.
The Punishment Hall Saints brought Ye Mo back to the Punishment Hall Palace. Looking at this handcuffed state, the surrounding Saints all smiled sinisterly.
“Why aren’t you bringing me to the prison yet?” Ye Mo asked, curious.
“You wanna go to prison? Not so easy. Now that you’re under our power, we can do whatever we want with you. Hurry and hand over the cultivation method for the Wooden Restraint Seal,” Zhang Tianxin said. “When we eventually take over the whole of the Zone of Desolation, a huge battle is inevitable. We may even wage war with the Demon City. If we have those Wooden Restraint Seals at our disposal during the battle, it may turn the tide.”
“Even if I hand over the cultivation method, you people won’t be able to learn it anyway.” Ye Mo’s eyes sparkled.
“Who says that we won’t be able to learn?” Zhang Tianxin replied coldly, “The First Heaven Society has master-level seal artists who can cultivate Level Five Seals. As long as you hand over the cultivation method of the Wooden Restraint Seal, the First Heaven army will become invincible during times of war. Those against the Master and the First Heaven Society will all perish.”
“It’s not going to be that easy.” Ye Mo smiled as he said, “If that’s the case, it’s all the more reason to not tell you how to cultivate the Wooden Restraint Seal.”
“Is that so?” Zhang Tianxin raised an eyebrow. “Fine, I’ll give you a hard time before you enter the prison and make you understand the feeling of life that’s worse than death.” Zhang Tianxin walked up. With a grab of his hand, he generated a ball of white light glow that formed a worm-like shape as it entered Ye Mo’s head. Instantly, a white glow attacked his Heart. “This is one of our punishment tools – the Devouring Worm. Entering your body, it will eat away at your heart and make your life miserable.
Zhang Tianxin unleashed multiple white lights into his body. He wanted to see Ye Mo’s pain.
But what shocked Zhang Tianxin was that Ye Mo’s expression didn’t change at all. Instead, he smiled. “This is the punishment of your Punishment Hall? Is this how you torture people? Laughable.”
“How is this possible? What’s going on?”
The surrounding Saints were all shocked as well.They could feel the Devouring Worm eating away at Ye Mo’s Heart wildly.
But Ye Mo’s face didn’t show the look of pain that they were expecting. He looked completely disinterested.
“My Heart has almost reached the Third Tier,” Ye Mo said calmly. “This type of Devouring Worm has zero effect on me. I suggest you stop wasting your time.”
“Hmph, big words from you. Let me try.” Li Huangmin slapped the table and rose to his feet. Landing beside Ye Mo, he said, “I’ll display the Soul Searching Technique and access all of his memories. I’ll know all of his secrets – be it seal techniques or martial techniques, I’ll know everything”
Rumble. A wave of powerful will struck down. Li Huangmin’s soul reached deep into Ye Mo. But he was pushed back out by an invisible force.
This sight made even Li Huangmin’s face turn sour.
“Elder Li, what happened?” another Punishment Hall Elder asked.
“There’s a huge source of soul energy inside his body that rattled my soul out.”
Li Huangmin had met many people in his life – Ye Mo still managed to surprise him.
“Is that possible? Is there a strong soul hidden in his body?”
Another Punishment Hall Elder walked forward slowly, unleashing his spiritual power and pouring it into Ye Mo’s body. His face became pale as he was sent flying backward, crashing against a wall.
“What’s going on?” the elder shouted from the floor. “There’s something wrong with Ye Mo’s body.”
“This Ye Mo is too perverted,” Zhang Tianxin said as he drew a top-tier treasure weapon. “There must be a strong soul inside his body. Let’s chop off his arms and cause him so much pain that he loses his senses. Then, we’ll use the Soul Searching Technique again.”
Zhang Tianxin slashed his weapon across Ye Mo’s arm.
Dang!
Smashing against Ye Mo’s arm, the top-tier treasure weapon long sword made a sound of metal-on-metal. While the long sword pierced Ye Mo’s skin, it didn’t cause any actual damage.
“What’s going on?” Li Huangmin was in utter shock. “Even a top-tier treasure long sword can’t hurt him. What exactly is his body made of?”
In actual fact, Ye Mo was able to display such frightening feats because of the Giant Dragon Deity inside his body. The moment the two rays of Profound World Realm spirits entered his body, they were rejected by the deity. The greater the power of the soul, the greater the repelling force.
As for Ye Mo’s body, he had successfully reached Level Five of Dragon Blood Strength. That layer of defense was even greater than that of a top-tier treasure item. Only a fighter in the Profound World Realm holding a top-tier treasure weapon would be able to hurt his body. Otherwise, any damage done would only be surface level, and his actual body wouldn’t be harmed.
At that moment, Ye Mo had already reached a frightening state. It was only because of the pressure of the natural environment that he couldn’t advance to the next tier.
“This kid is too weird,” Zhang Tianxin said. “Since we can’t force the Wooden Restraint Seal cultivation method out of him, let’s just send him to prison.”
“No, based on the strength that this kid has displayed, it is likely that he’d still be fine and dandy even in prison,” Li Huangmin said, eyes a little wild.
“Elder Li, if that’s the case, let’s send him straight down to the eighteenth floor of the prison and lock him up with the Sky Demon Descendant,” Zhang Tianxin said sinisterly.
“What?”
Hearing that, everyone was caught by surprise. “Leader, this Sky Demon Descendant took the strength of numerous elite elders who gave it their all in order to capture him. He’s eccentric, and his strength is incomparable. What if he kills Ye Mo, and the higher-ups start asking questions?”
“We can just say that Ye Mo had escaped from his cell and ended up in the cell of the Sky Demon Descendant, won’t that solve everything?”
“Good idea. Let’s bring Ye Mo away now!”
