No one expected the league member to suddenly attack. Looking at the 30 feet long spear flying towards Ye Mo’s head, many were enjoying watching him suffer. For the fighters in the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm, they clutched at their hearts.

With a casual strike, rays of energy rose into the sky, spreading out in all directions, as if aiming to cut Ye Mo’s head off.

However, just as the light blade was about the hit Ye Mo, he took out his Sky Blood Spear from behind, and with a swing of his spear, the 30 feet long light blade was split into two, hitting either side of him and missing him.

“Trying to test me? Do you have the right to?”

Ye Mo laughed coldly. Ye Mo’s silhouette became a mere shadow. The moment Ye Mo was seen again, he was already behind the league member as he sent out a punch.

Bam!

The league member was utterly shocked, failing to react. He was. .h.i.t right on the head, pain shooting down his whole body as he was planted into the mud head first. It was an extremely embarra.s.sing sight.

The league member jumped up from the mud, his head filled with blood as he looked around, seeing strange expressions looking back at him. A fighter with already half a step into the Energy Shaping Realm being defeated by a trainee league member in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm was extremely humiliating.

“You dare attack me?”

“Me, attacking you? The whole arena saw it – you initiated the attack and I merely retaliated. If not for my strength and training, I would already have been dead if that light blade had hit me. I am stronger than you, so I will naturally retaliate. However, there is no logic in saying that I attacked you – it was definitely the other way round.”

“You!”

Just as the league member was about to speak, he was stopped by Yun Shan.

“Ye Mo from Limestone City. You are obviously pretty skilled. I’ve heard of you before – Limestone City’s top talent. Ye Changsheng often mentioned your name in front of me. Not bad, not bad indeed.”

“You are too kind. The reason I stood up is to merely give the fighters in the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm a voice. Don’t look down on us, just like you did moments ago. I may only be in the Spirit Cultivating Ninth Realm, but I do not fear the league members in the Energy Shaping Realm. Do not look down on us just because our realm level is low. Furthermore, all of you have no right to take away our right to partic.i.p.ate in the examination.”

“Really? Indeed, we do not have the right to do so. However, does that mean you have the right to take away the lives of other? Don’t think that we are unaware, Ye Mo, that you killed those five fighters who partic.i.p.ated in the league entry test yesterday?” Yun Shan laughed coldly.

Ye Mo frowned slightly, before saying calmly, “Indeed, I was the one who killed them!”

“That spells trouble. Outer League of the Qingyun league, deal with Ye Mo together!” Yun Shan instructed the group of league members beside him.

Whoos.h.!.+

10 waves of sound could before heard from above the mountain top, with the league members jumping down and surrounding Ye Mo. These members were all in the Energy Shaping Second or Third Realm. The sound of their arrival was filled with loud and threatening, akin to the stomping of a giant elephant.

“It is not illegal to kill in the wilderness. Those five people saw that my power level was low and tried to steal my union pa.s.s, but ended up being unexpectedly killed by me. Is that a crime?” Ye Mo said in a nonchalant manner.

Killing between fighters was not against the law. However, fighters attacking normal people would result in punishment.

“They are already dead, and you’re still trying to find excuses? It must be you who tried to steal other people’s union pa.s.ses, which is why you attacked and killed them. I will apprehend you now and bring you to the Legal Division for questioning.”

This time, Yun Shan initiated the attack. As he pushed out a palm, a giant Energy Palm appeared in thin air above Ye Mo’s head. The moment the palm appeared, Ye Mo felt as if he was going to suffocate.

Fighters in the Energy Shaping Third Realm had the ability to utilize energy shaping in thin air. Yun Shan’s technique alone was superior to that of everyone else in the arena.

Many jumped to the mountain top and looked in Ye Mo’s direction, hoping to see what the commotion was about.

Watching the giant palm, Ye Mo showed no sign of fear as he said mockingly, “Arresting me without any reason? Based on what I’m seeing, all of you are advising others to pull out of the compet.i.tion because you are after their union pa.s.ses. With those pa.s.ses, you will be able to appease the elites from other clans and receive training resources in return. Allow me to punch a hole in this sinister plan of yours!”

The faces of a few elites changed after hearing Ye Mo. Some elite fighters who were lacking in power indeed depended on this tactic, buying union pa.s.ses before the compet.i.tion in order to enter the Qingyun League.

If there was a demand for it, there would naturally be people willing to sell their union pa.s.ses.

As he spoke, Ye Mo sent out a ferocious strike with the Sky Blood Spear in his hand.

Boom!

Countless icy blue light blades swept upward, directly striking the Giant Energy Palm. The icy blue light blades appeared insignificant in front of the Giant Energy Palm, but as those blades struck it, the palm was gradually frozen. In a few moments, the whole Energy Palm was completely frozen in mid-air.

“Easy!” Yun Shan stood on top of the mountain, laughing mockingly. The frozen palm expanded further, directly smas.h.i.+ng the icicles as the palm continued pressing down on Ye Mo.

That palm was not one formed through Energy Shaping, but a technique displayed by Yun Shan – the Sky Pressure Palm!

The palm sent out a ma.s.sive aura, as if threatening to collapse the sky.

“Turning Energy Shaping into a technique instantaneously – this method is unusual indeed. Not surprising from a Qingyun League member,” some of the aspiring trainees said in surprise.

“All of you, stop!”

A cold voice was heard as a lady clad in a moon white gown dropped from the sky, an angel-like presence with a pair of snow white wings behind her back.

“It’s Sister Yao Yue!”

Shocked, Yun Shan immediately retracted his Sky Pressure Palm before saying with a guilty smile, “Sister Yao Yue, why are you here?”

“If I had not come here, this whole league entry examination would have been ruined by you.”

Yao Yue looked down at the aspiring league members and said with a solemn voice, “I am Yao Yue. I believe that many of you fighters may seen me before. I am the main invigilator for this league entry test, in charge of all aspects of this test. I will be the supervisor throughout this test as well.”

As she finished speaking, she turned to look down at Ye Mo. “You again. You are too conspicuous, this will not bring you any benefits.”

“I had no choice. Yun Shan dared to advise the Spirit Cultivating Eighth Realm fighters to forfeit the test, which was why I had to stand up and speak for them,” Ye Mo said in a helpless tone.

“Did such a thing happen?” Yao Yue frowned slightly upon hearing that and turned around to ask Yun Shan.

Yun Shan casted a threatening glare at Ye Mo before replying, “Sister Yao Yue, that is not true. Do not believe the nonsense that the brat is spouting.”

Having a deep understanding of Yun Shan’s character, Yao Yue naturally did not believe Yun Shan’s words. However, she did not speak further, instead telling everyone in the arena, “Everyone, do a check to see if you have a union pa.s.s. The whole of the Unbreakable Mountain has been covered by a giant Magical Formation by a Seal Artist of the Qingyun League. Only fighters with a pa.s.s will be able to enter. Those without one will be kicked out by an invisible force.”

Hearing that, everyone was sent into shock as they started to search their bodies, ensuring that there were no problems before continue to listen for further things to take note of.

Yao Yue continued making a few other announcements as everyone sat down, awaiting their entry test the next day.

As she spoke, a few fighters still rushed over, as did Ye Changsheng, who finally made it. He was clad in a white uniform with a sword behind his back. Though covered with a white cloth, its light was glowing in all directions, blinding to the eye.

“Ye Changsheng!”
