Chapter 1438: Chapter 1439: Two Clan Leaders Seek a Disciple

Now that Xiang Qiu has defeated Wang Luo Sha, his sole objective is to stomp Ye Mo, who had humiliated him in the past, under his feet. Today, he can finally achieve that.

"The Vice Chieftain suddenly came; he must know about this battle."

Xiang Qiu sneered repeatedly, waiting for the Vice Chieftain’s praise and attention.

"It looks like Xiang Qiu has made a name for himself in a single battle."

"Indeed, it’s because of this battle that the Vice Chieftain has come."

"Xiang Qiu has truly turned the tables, not only winning the beauty but also gaining the Vice Chieftain’s attention. He might even be taken in as a disciple."

Suddenly, a chorus of envy echoed from the crowd.

Listening to the discussions of the disciples around him, Xiang Qiu’s once pale face regained its color; as the saying goes, people are happiest when good things happen.

Xiang Qiu’s gaze was fixed eagerly on Zhou Tianmo, waiting for his praise.

"So you defeated Wang Luo Sha, not bad."

Zhou Tianmo, rather absent-minded, said this to Xiang Qiu and then began searching the crowd, not giving Xiang Qiu any real attention.

Xiang Qiu kept waiting for Zhou Tianmo’s accolades, but after a long time, he only heard "not bad" and saw Zhou Tianmo searching for something else.

"What, what is going on?"

Xiang Qiu was shocked and furious, filled with disbelief: "Why, why is this happening? When Wang Luo Sha ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking, he not only received praise but also many rewards. Wang Luo Sha was even recommended to a Supreme Elder as the only Closed-door Disciple. And now, the Vice Principal just said one sentence."

Just as Xiang Qiu was about to ask, Zhou Tianmo’s face lit up with a smile as he looked at the crowd: "Ye Mo, I’ve finally found you. The Clan Leader wants to take you as a disciple, but the Clan Leader isn’t suited to teach disciples; why don’t you become my disciple instead?"

Zhou Tianmo’s words echoed in everyone’s ears, especially Xiang Qiu’s, leaving him stunned, his face muscles stiffened in disbelief.

The disciples, upon hearing this, instantly buzzed like a hive.

"What? The Clan Leader wants to take Ye Mo as a disciple?"

"And the Vice Chieftain is competing with the Clan Leader for Ye Mo? And the Vice Chieftain came to deliver the message personally?"

"The Clan Leader hasn’t appeared for a century but wants to take Ye Mo as a disciple? What kind of skills and virtues does Ye Mo have? Could it be due to luck, completing an Epic Level task?"

Everyone roared in disbelief, as if they had forgotten Xiang Qiu defeating Wang Luo Sha and becoming first on the Heavenly Ranking. The scene of the Vice Chieftain Zhou Tianmo wanting to compete with the Clan Leader for disciple rights shocked everyone.

Qin Yong and Dantai Zanglian remained silent, knowing that Ye Mo overshadowing Xiang Qiu was inevitable. Both Clan Leaders likely knew Ye Mo’s strength; otherwise, they wouldn’t compete to take Ye Mo as a disciple.

"No matter who you agree to take as a master, the Clan Leader wants to meet you first; you can decide afterward."

Zhou Tianmo said.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo wasn’t sure how they knew about his strength. Few knew of his killings of Jin Tianzun and Fire Sky Venerate, and Zhou Tianmo never really left the Wraith Clan, making this knowledge even less likely.

However, Zhou Tianmo clearly knew his strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to recruit him.

Since the Clan Leader had asked, Ye Mo couldn’t refuse. He also wanted to observe what kind of person Wang Mo Luo was.

"You all can disperse, continue your cultivation; the Heavenly Ranking Challenge is approaching."

Zhou Tianmo addressed the surrounding disciples and then smiled at Ye Mo: "Let’s go!"

As they watched Zhou Tianmo and Ye Mo leave, everyone was dumbfounded. Even some Supreme Elders were full of surprise; even though Ye Mo was Mengxin’s adopted son, he didn’t receive this kind of treatment.

"Why, why is this happening? I worked hard to defeat Wang Luo Sha and became first on the Heavenly Ranking, yet your brilliance overshadowed me."

Watching Ye Mo follow Zhou Tianmo away, Xiang Qiu clenched his fists, almost digging his nails into his flesh, watching Ye Mo, almost spitting blood.

"Ye Mo, I will humiliate you harshly in the Heavenly Ranking Challenge. I’ll show you that even as the Clan Leader’s disciple, I can still defeat you."

Xiang Qiu roared in his heart.

Following Zhou Tianmo, Ye Mo passed through the Mountain of Wraith, coming straight to a towering edifice, with the Mountain of Wraith lying beneath it.

"This pagoda is called the Soul Suppressing Tower. Cultivating here is allowed only to the Clan Leader; even Supreme Elders don’t have the right."

Zhou Tianmo said with a smile. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Ye Mo looked at the pagoda before him, towering a hundred feet high, with what seemed like spatial fissures at the top, continuously emitting soul origins that the pinnacle absorbed.

Ye Mo understood that cultivating in the Soul Suppressing Tower could surely speed up his Soul Realm progress, but compared to his Genius Badge, it was still inferior. The Soul Suppressing Tower connects directly to a strange space’s soul origins, not just borrowing energy.

"Ye Mo, would you like to cultivate here in the future?"

Zhou Tianmo voluntarily opened the gate of the Soul Suppressing Tower for Ye Mo, a scene that would leave any Elder Disciple dumbstruck. Not to mention the Vice Chieftain opening the door, ordinary disciples, or even Elders, generally didn’t have access to the Soul Suppressing Tower. Only during clan assemblies convened by the Clan Leader could anyone enter the Soul Suppressing Tower.

"Yes!"

Ye Mo nodded without hesitation. If he said no, it would surely arouse suspicion, maybe even seem odd.

"That’s right. As long as you become our disciple, you can come here to cultivate anytime, even live here. Soon, you will meet the Clan Leader; the Clan Leader hasn’t met a disciple in over a hundred years."

Zhou Tianmo said as he led Ye Mo into the Soul Suppressing Tower. Ye Mo immediately felt a faint strand of soul origin unconsciously absorbed by him.

Then, a figure stood before him, appearing to be in his twenties with white-clad purple hair, elegant and graceful.

"Is this Wang Mo Luo? Seems different from what I imagined."

Ye Mo thought to himself, having imagined Wang Mo Luo to be a tall, strong type, only to find him more refined than Zhou Tianmo, especially with those deep and serene eyes. If this person before him wasn’t a man, he would’ve definitely been a stunning beauty.

"Wang Mo Luo, Ye Mo has been brought to meet you."

Zhou Tianmo said lightly.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

Ye Mo cupped his hands, feeling quite cautious, unsure of what their intentions were. If they merely admired his talents and wanted to take him as a disciple, that would be fine. But if they discovered his connection to the Wraith Demon Emperor, it would be very dangerous.

"Your name is Ye Mo, right? I heard you killed the Lord of Myriad Demons and even escaped from Jin Tianzun. This kind of strength already rivals the Supreme Elders of the Wraith Clan or even surpasses them. Your potential is immense, so Zhou Tianmo and I wish to take you as a disciple. What do you think?"
