Madame Xiao couldn’t believe her ears. “What have we done in the past to have someone like you in our clan? If the Barbarians know that we have taken you in, they’ll definitely come and kill us all.”
“Madame, do you know who was the one who had the Mo Clan destroyed?” Ye Mo asked.
The Mo Clan was wiped out by a True Energy Realm martial artist, yet even the Three Major Alliances couldn’t do anything about it.
“Wait, you know who did it?” Madame Xiao asked.
“It was all because Mo Feng and Man Tai were trying to get their hands on the imperial concubine. They even almost got her killed. The emperor was furious about the incident. That’s why he ordered the massacre,” Ye Mo explained. “The Mo Clan was the first on the list, and the Barbarians will be next. If the emperor finds out that the Xiao Clan and the Barbarians have an arranged marriage, the emperor’s wrath will find its way here. Please cancel the marriage by any means possible.”
“I know I’ve brought the Xiao Clan many problems,” Ye Mo continued. “But Yueyue released her curse in order to save me. There must be a way to solve all of these problems.”
( NovelFull ) “What way? You’re just a Spirit Cultivating Third Realm brat, what could you do?” Madame Xiao said. “The Barbarians have True Energy Realm martial artists by their side. If they do come, we’ll have to hand you over.”
“My love, let’s save this for another time. We have to help Xiao Yue suppress the curse first!” Xiao Yuanshan said.
Both of them hovered their hands above Xiao Yue, and their energy began to seep into Xiao Yue’s Energy Center. The Phoenix Curse turned into a huge Phoenix covered in flames, soaring around Xiao Yue’s Energy Center.
The Phoenix opened its wings as unknown energies were trying to force it out of Xiao Yue’s Energy Center. With one flap of its wings, the Phoenix pushed Xiao Yuanshan and Madam Xiao out of Xiao Yue’s Energy Center.
“Impossible! What did you see?”
“It’s a Phoenix! The Phoenix that was on Xiao Yue’s face is now in her Energy Center!”
“So it’s preventing us from getting close to Xiao Yue? What should we do?” Xiao Yuanshan sighed and shook his head. They only had one daughter. If Xiao Yue were to die, they had nothing left to live for.
“Our powers are not enough to get close to the Phoenix, only a True Energy Realm martial artist could do that. I’ll send a Sound Pigeon to my dad and ask for his help. But it will still take three days, and I’m not sure if Xiao Yue will last that long…” Madame Xiao said anxiously.
The Sound Pigeon was a beast that could record sounds of the sender and replay it for the receivers.
Amidst their discussion, Ye Mo stood up and said, “Can I try?”
“You? Even Yuanshan could not get near to the curse, what could you do?” Madam Xiao said.
“My life is worth nothing if I can’t save Yueyue. I believe I can extract the curse from her Energy Center. Please use the Yin Poison Grass’s source when that happens,” Ye Mo said.
“My love, Ye Mo really cares about Xiao Yue, why don’t we let him try? I’ll stop him if something happens,” Xiao Yuanshan said.
Madame Xiao did not say anything but looked like she agreed to it. Ye Mo walked to Xiao Yue’s side and looked at her face.
Ye Mo placed his hands above Xiao Yue’s Energy Center and closed his eyes.
The Rising Dragon Pillar could absorb every energy that ever existed, so in theory it could also absorb the Phoenix Curse. If he could control the pulling strength, he could force the curse onto the surface.
Ye Mo took extra caution as the Rising Dragon Pillar began to vibrate, and the black hole slowly formed. Suddenly, Xiao Yue’s Energy Center was being sucked by a huge vacuum, and the Phoenix began to scream as it tried to resist the Rising Dragon Pillar. For a short moment, the Phoenix was able to stand its ground.
“This Phoenix Curse is definitely strong. This is first time I’ve seen something that could resist the Rising Dragon Pillar’s pulling force,” Ye Mo said as he kept his focus on the Rising Dragon Pillar. The Rising Dragon Pillar was able to trap billions of dragons. What could a mere Phoenix do?
Alas, the Phoenix turned into green light and was pulled out of Xiao Yue’s body. The Phoenix tattoo began to appear on her face again.
Xiao Yuanshan and Madame Xiao looked at Ye Mo in disbelief. They were shocked by the fact that Ye Mo was able to achieve what they couldn’t do. He was able to pull the Phoenix out with his own power.
“My love! Hurry up and seal the Phoenix!”
Madame Xiao was pulled back to reality. The pearl on her hand began to shrink until it was as big as an eyeball.
( NovelFull ) The pearl broke as purple energies seeped out from it. Madam Xiao thrust her hand into the energy and pulled out a purple string. She began to draw runes on Xiao Yue’s face with the string.
“Is this how sealing is done?”
“Madame Xiao is a Basic-Level Charm Master,” Ling’er said. “She’s using the Yin Poison Grass’s source as a medium to draw the runes to seal the curse.”
A Basic-Level Charm Master is one level higher than Entry-Level; these are people who can create Rank Two Charms.
“Looks like Yueyue inherited her talent form her mom.”
The purple runes covered the Phoenix tattoo on Xiao Yue’s face as the Phoenix quieted down.
Madame Xiao successfully suppressed the curse with the Yin Poison Grass, yet the tattoo on Xiao Yue’s face was larger than before.
The Phoenix Curse was one of the four ancient curses. Even the Barbarians’ Frozen Silkworm could not absorb it.
Even though the curse was suppressed, Xiao Yue was still in a coma. Ye Mo looked at the Phoenix tattoo on her face and smiled. Even though the green tattoo had destroyed her beauty, it did not change Ye Mo’s affection towards her.
“I still need to think of some ways to fully control Yueyue’s curse,” Ye Mo said to Ling’er. “If she could control it, her strength would be tremendous. She could even be stronger than me.”
“At least you don’t have to worry for now,” Ling’er said. “She should be able to wake up after a few days. She was lucky that we were able to suppress the curse, or else she could’ve been in real danger.”
“You’re right. I’m glad she is okay for now. Mo Feng said that he has already told the Barbarians about me killing Man Tai. If the emperor had not ordered to have them destroyed, we would be in deep trouble.” Ye Mo frowned.
There are a few True Energy Realm martial artists amongst the Barbarians. If they were to come, what should I do?
Plus, Ye Changsheng was scouted by a Union Chief. He’ll definitely return stronger! He’ll definitely be at the tournament that’s in 10 days. Well, at least I don’t have to worry that much about him since I have 37 Dragon Energies within me. As long as Ye Changsheng remains in the Spirit Cultivating Realm, he should pose no threat.
What makes me worry are the Barbarians.
Ye Mo couldn’t help but feel powerless because it was impossible to raise one’s strength in a few days.
“My strength should be enough for me to get into the Three Major Alliances. I think I should try and see if I could create some True Energy Pills in the meantime.”
