73: Chapter 73 Who Dares to Take a Step Forward

"I don't know what it's specifically called, but it's strange to say. This person clearly looks like they are only at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage, but the Spirit Energy Arrow they shot had power not inferior to the Qi Refining Late-Stage at all."

Quan Zhengping was also very curious about Ye Mo; he had even carefully investigated Ye Mo.

But no matter how he looked at it, Ye Mo was at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage.

"Draw his appearance for me!"

Boss Hong was clearly a bit excited and immediately took out paper and a pen from his Storage Pouch.

Although he had previously investigated Boss Xiao's subordinate, there was a type of Spell that could hide one's cultivation, such as: the Breath Concealment Technique.

If this person knew the Breath Concealment Technique, then he truly wouldn't be able to tell.

Unless he used the Heavenly Eye Technique.

But at the Mining Site, the Heavenly Eye Technique was just a useless Spell that no one would bother to Cultivate.

"Alright."

Quan Zhengping naturally didn't know Boss Hong's intentions, and he quickly drew Ye Mo's appearance.

"This… this isn't right, how could it be Ye Mo??" Zeng Shi looked bewildered.

He had thought it would be Boss Xiao's younger brother, Xiao Wu.

Because regardless of whether it was buying the violent spirit pill from someone's hands, or directly killing Zhang Wentao to obtain the violent spirit pill from him, it had absolutely nothing to do with Ye Mo.

To say it was Boss Xiao would be giving him too much credit.

"Zeng Shi, immediately return to the mining area, gather men, and surround Boss Xiao's Mining Site for me!"

Boss Hong didn't think that much.

Regardless of whether it was Ye Mo or not.

This time, he was going to cut off Ye Mo's head and hand it to Scarface Liu.

"Alright."

Zeng Shi nodded, then immediately headed toward his own Mining Site.

Boss Hong, on the other hand, took a few subordinates and returned to Boss Xiao's Mining Site once again.

...

Boss Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Boss Hong leave.

Of course, he wasn't actually worried about anything; at worst, he would just give Duan Qiao's Mining Site to him.

About an hour later.

Yi Shi came running over in a hurry.

"Boss Xiao, something is wrong. Boss Hong just came back, and he's currently nearby. It seems like he's waiting for someone?"

Yi Shi didn't need to mine anymore; Boss Xiao had arranged for him to patrol the vicinity and report any suspicious situations to him.

"He came back again?"

Boss Xiao subconsciously looked at Ye Mo.

Ye Mo was healing his wounds. Hearing Yi Shi's words, he opened his eyes: "He probably wants Duan Qiao's Mining Site. Boss Xiao, if he wants it, just give it to him."

Ye Mo's current plan was to wait until after Cheng Ying and the others gave birth.

At that time, he would directly destroy Scarface Liu.

"Mm."

Boss Xiao nodded; he didn't feel reluctant. He then told Yi Shi to go back to patrolling and to report any situations to him.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yi Shi, who was patrolling, soon discovered Zeng Shi and also found that Zeng Shi had brought over forty people behind him.

All of them were at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage.

Seeing this situation, he immediately returned to the Mining Site to report to Boss Xiao.

However, before Boss Xiao could react.

Zeng Shi and Boss Hong directly brought their subordinates and barged into the Mining Site.

"Boss Hong, you brought so many people here; I wonder what this is for?" Boss Xiao asked, remaining relatively calm.

Boss Hong didn't answer him, but instead looked at Ye Mo beside Boss Xiao and said, "Boss Xiao, you aren't being honest. How you defeated Duan Qiao and his group earlier—why didn't you mention Ye Mo?"

"Ye Mo? Ye Mo is just one of my subordinates; what is there to mention?"

Boss Xiao was a bit confused.

He didn't know what Boss Hong actually meant.

Could it be because Ye Mo had displayed the strength of the Qi Refining Late-Stage earlier?

But that wasn't something worth paying too much attention to, was it?

"Heh, Ye Mo, I heard that you killed Duan Qiao with a single arrow earlier, and the power was not inferior to the Qi Refining Late-Stage. I wonder if that's true or false?"

Boss Hong sneered as he looked at Ye Mo.

"That's right, I killed Duan Qiao." Ye Mo naturally didn't know Boss Hong's intentions, so he answered truthfully.

"So, you are already at the Qi Refining Late-Stage?" Boss Hong narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just checked Ye Mo's cultivation again, and it was still at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage.

Actually, he was a bit unsure. Ye Mo was young, and logically, it was unlikely he could have learned the Breath Concealment Technique.

"No, I just ate a Medicinal Pill that temporarily boosts cultivation."

Ye Mo naturally wouldn't admit it.

Anyway, others couldn't see his true cultivation.

However, he was also a bit confused. Was Boss Hong making such a big fuss just to investigate his cultivation?

That didn't make sense.

"Hmph, whether or not you ate a Medicinal Pill to boost cultivation, we'll know very soon."

Although Boss Hong couldn't be sure if Ye Mo had consumed the violent spirit pill, his current mindset was that he would rather kill a thousand innocents than let one guilty person go.

After speaking, he waved his hand, and several subordinates behind him immediately walked toward Ye Mo.

"Boss Hong, what are you doing?"

Boss Xiao immediately shouted as he stepped forward, shielding Ye Mo behind him.

He really couldn't understand what Boss Hong was trying to do. Even if Ye Mo was at the Qi Refining Late-Stage, there was no need to attack him, right?

"Boss Xiao, this doesn't concern you. Back down immediately, or I will level your Mining Site today!"

Boss Hong's face was filled with Killing Intent.

The subordinates behind him all took out Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Talismans, or condensed Spells.

As long as Boss Xiao dared to make a move, they would attack without hesitation.

"Boss Hong, you at least have to give me a reason."

Boss Xiao indeed dared not act rashly. It wasn't that he was afraid of Boss Hong and his people, but if they offended Scarface Liu, they would absolutely have no way to survive.

"A reason? Why don't you ask Ye Mo? Ask him what exactly he did?" Boss Hong said coldly.

"Ye Mo, you???" Boss Xiao looked at Ye Mo, confused.

"Boss Hong, I really don't know what I did. Earlier you told me to hand over Spirit Stones, and I did. Is it that you think I handed over too few?"

Ye Mo said.

"Not admitting it, huh? Then let me give you a reminder. Did you kill Zhang Wentao? Did you eat the violent spirit pill?" Boss Hong asked directly.

"Boss Hong is joking. How could I, a Mid-Stage cultivator, kill Zhang Wentao? Besides, wasn't Zhang Wentao a traitor to your group? Even if I killed him, shouldn't you be thanking me?"

Ye Mo finally understood; Boss Hong was looking for the Medicinal Pill that was on Zhang Wentao.

But how could Boss Hong suspect him?

When he killed Zhang Wentao, no one should have seen it.

If someone knew, they wouldn't have waited until now.

"Could it be that yellow Medicinal Pill?"

Ye Mo's brain spun rapidly.

Boss Hong suspected him because he learned that his cultivation was not inferior to the Qi Refining Late-Stage.

Could it be that that Medicinal Pill could greatly boost cultivation?

Thinking of this, Ye Mo was actually somewhat tempted.

After entering the Middle Stage, wanting to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Late-Stage would take at least about ten years, even if one used Spirit Stones to Cultivate every day.

If that Medicinal Pill could really quickly boost cultivation, it would greatly save time on Cultivation.

"I said it, whether it is or not, just try and you'll know!"

Boss Hong didn't say any more, and several subordinates rushed toward Ye Mo.

Ye Mo's expression turned cold.

He knew that when facing Boss Hong, Boss Xiao and his subordinates would absolutely not dare to act, otherwise, they would definitely have no way out.

And facing so many of Boss Hong's men, it would be very difficult for Ye Mo to escape.

Unless he had Cultivated the Luoyou Step to Major Achievement, or even just Minor Achievement, he could try.

"Wait, you are looking for me because of this yellow Medicinal Pill, right?"

Ye Mo's thoughts stirred. He placed the yellow Medicinal Pill by his mouth and shouted loudly, "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will swallow the Medicinal Pill right now!"
