Chapter 1518: Chapter 1519: Mu Longwu Appears
"Devil Holy Mother, what a pity. Your strength hasnât even reached the Late Stage of Divine Venerable Nine Souls!"
Ye Mo shouted, his body flashing once more, turning into a streak of rainbow light. His spear thrust straight at the Devil Holy Motherâs glabella. This strike was not only to shatter her body, but to pierce directly through her spirit.
However, at this moment, an eerie strand of flowing light suddenly emerged from the Blood Fiend Spear, directly wrapping around the Devil Holy Mother. Ye Moâs attack landed on that flowing light and was simply unable to break through the light membrane it formed.
After that, the flowing light flickered sharply, and the Devil Holy Mother actually vanished bizarrely from where she stood.
This uncanny scene left everyone astonished. The Devil Holy Mother was already on the verge of death, yet she suddenly disappeared.
"Whatâs going on?"
Seeing this, Ye Mo couldnât help being shocked as well. Just now, how did that strand of flowing light shoot out from the tip of his spear, and even protect the Devil Holy Mother?
Everyone was craning their necks, searching everywhere, trying to detect the Devil Holy Motherâs traces, but discovered nothing.
"Could it be that she escaped? No, in that situation just now, there was absolutely no way to escape!"
Ye Mo shook his head, denying his earlier thought.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a deep, lingering buzzing sound rampaged out from within Ye Moâs body. A strand of flowing light likewise shot out from his body, condensing in the void into a blurry human silhouette.
"Mu Longwu!"
Seeing that figure, Ye Moâs pupils contracted fiercely. Hadnât Mu Longwuâs Soul Body already dissipated? How could it emerge from his body?
"Thatâs Dragon Martial, the most powerful expert of the Lingwu Continent back then, the number one genius of the Mu Family."
"Heavens, how did he come out of Ye Moâs body? Could it be Ye Mo has always been this strong because he was being guided by him?"
All the surrounding powerhouses, upon seeing the figure in the air, were all greatly shaken.
"Dragon Martial Ancestor!"
Mu Wanqing saw that figure as well and let out a cry.
"Impossible! That old ghost Mu Longwuâs spirit actually still hasnât dissipated!"
Tian Xinghunâs face also revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Ye Mo, are you wondering why I would appear?"
Mu Longwuâs figure was extremely illusory, as though it could disperse at any time. He didnât want to waste time, so he spoke first: "That year in the Demon Luo Territory, within my Zone of Chaos, when my spirit dissipated, I secretly hid a wisp of soul power inside your body. At that time, your cultivation was far too weak, so you didnât notice."
"Why did you do that? And why are you appearing now?"
Ye Moâs voice carried a hint of anger. He felt as if he had been schemed against by Mu Longwu, and that feeling was extremely unpleasant.
"Forgive me for not informing you beforehand."
Mu Longwu spoke with a trace of apology: "Because I foresaw that todayâs scene would one day occur. Tian Xinghun has been thinking day and night about resurrecting Xieâer, using Xieâerâs power to conquer the entire continent, and you were destined to clash with Xieâer. This wisp of my soul power would only be triggered when it sensed Xieâer in mortal danger, in order to save her life."
"Back then you clashed precisely because your ideals were different. You should know she also had the ambition to conquer the entire continent. Now she has just been resurrected, and her strength has not yet fully recovered. Only thus did I have the chance to defeat her. Once she returns to peak strength, no one will be able to defeat her."
Ye Mo couldnât help saying.
This time, he should have succeeded in killing the Devil Holy Mother, but Mu Longwu had ruined it.
"I donât want to see Xieâer stray further down the wrong path, and I donât want to see Xieâer be slain by you. Donât worry, I will persuade her, and she will abandon the idea of conquering the continent! Believe me!"
Mu Longwu said.
To kill someone is easy; to persuade someone to abandon evil and return to good is far from easy. But because Mu Longwu loved the Devil Holy Mother too deeply, and knew this day would come, he came up with this plan.
It had to be said, Mu Longwu thought very far ahead, and his love for the Devil Holy Mother was truly moving. Even in death, he didnât want the woman he loved to fall into depravity.
Just on the strength of that love Mu Longwu bore for the Devil Holy Mother, Ye Mo ultimately nodded and chose to trust Mu Longwu.
"Then Iâll be in your debt."
Mu Longwuâs face revealed a faint smile. His illusory figure slowly faded away, leaving behind only one final sentence: "Tian Xinghun must not be left alive!"
"Tian Xinghun!"
Thinking of this person, Ye Moâs gaze swept out, and he saw a fierce gust of wind sweep by his side. Tian Xinghun shot straight toward Zi Ning, Xiao Yue, and Mu Wanqing. Three massive Profound Qi Arms instantly appeared behind him, grabbing the three women in one go.
Seeing this, Ye Moâs expression changed dramatically. Just as he was about to rush over, he saw those three Profound Qi Arms tighten slightly, and the three women immediately showed expressions of pain.
"Ye Mo, youâd better not come any closer, or your three most beloved women will all perish without a trace."
Tian Xinghunâs face was ferocious as he said, "Youâd better not even think about unleashing spiritual attacks. The moment you release one, three spiritual attacks will simultaneously enter their Brain Domains."
"Release the three of them, and Iâll spare your life!"
Ye Mo said coldly.
"Spare my life?"
Tian Xinghunâs face flushed red. He let out a cold laugh, then roared, "Ye Mo, if not for you today, none of this would have happened. I would have become the most envied man on the Lingwu Continent. I have the strongest mother on the Lingwu Continent, and I would have become the number one on the Lingwu Continent in the future. But all of this is because of you. Do you understand?"
"Because of me? This is your own doing. I advise you, for the last time, to immediately release those three, or your end will be utterly miserable!"
Ye Moâs voice was icy to the extreme.
"Now even my mother is about to be talked down by that old man Mu Longwu. With how much she likes him, sheâll definitely turn from evil to good. Even if I escape now, there will be no place for me between heaven and earth. Even if I trade this life of mine for the lives of your three women, it will be worth it!"
Tian Xinghunâs face was gloomy as he stared at Ye Moâs incomparably anxious expression, feeling indescribable satisfaction in his heart. Why should Ye Mo have a mother who loves him deeply and women who love him deeply, while he has nothing? The mother he schemed so hard to resurrect wasnât even his birth mother, and the woman who stirred his heart now had her entire attention focused on Ye Mo.
At this thought, Tian Xinghunâs hatred for Ye Mo only grew, to the point where it became terrifying.
"Tian Xinghun, let the other two go. I am Ye Moâs mother; with me in your hands, Ye Mo wonât dare do anything to you."
"No, let Aunt Ning and Wanqing go. Iâm the woman Ye Mo loves. With me in your hands, Ye Mo wonât dare do anything to you."
The three all spoke up.
"All of you shut up. Iâll let Ye Mo choose for himself."
Tian Xinghun bellowed, then looked at Ye Mo with a cruel grin. "Ye Mo, if I release all three of them, Iâm destined to be hunted down by you. To be safe, Iâll only release two and keep one as a hostage. You let me go, and you choose for yourselfâjust who do you want me to release?"
As Tian Xinghunâs words fell, the three women all turned their gazes toward Ye Mo.
One was Ye Moâs mother; the other two were Ye Moâs women. How should Ye Mo choose?
