Within a huge mansion of about 100 acre in size was a huge building that was even larger than the Xiao Mansion.
“This should be the Tong Mansion, right?” Ye Mo looked at the blue words carved on the huge board hanging on the mansion’s gate and entered after confirming that this was Tong Mansion.
Ye Mo was blocked by the guards before he could enter.
“Who is it? This is the Tong Mansion. People with no business here are not allowed entry.”
These guards were all sturdily built and were wielding sabers. They were wearing the same uniform with a Tong character imprinted on their chest.
“I am Ye Xiao. The Tong Mansion is recruiting sealing artists, right? I am a sealing artist,” Ye Mo said with his hands clasped in greeting.
The guards exchanged glances before one of them stepped forward and asked, “You’re a sealing artist?”
“Yes. A second order sealing artist,” Ye Mo answered with a nod.
Normally, a second order sealing artist would be an old man that was about 50-years old. When someone as young as Ye Mo claimed to be a second order sealing artist, the guards found it hard to believe.
The mirage was about to appear soon. Ye Mo had an unknown origin and was claiming to be a second order sealing artist. If he was a spy sent from the Tie Clan or the Mu Clan, the consequences would be grave.
“Second order sealing artist? You are probably a spy from either Tie Clan or Mu Clan, right?”
At Ye Mo’s age, it would already be a great accomplishment to be a first order sealing artist. Therefore, the guards immediately started doubting his identity.
“I really am a second order sealing artist. Please tell the people in charge of the recruitment about this,” Ye Mo explained helplessly.
“Hmph. Second order sealing artists are normally highly ranked above everyone else. And you, kid, are lowering yourself like this. You are most likely an impersonator trying to infiltrate our Tong Clan.” This caused Ye Mo to be completely speechless. If it wasn’t for him being so poor, he wouldn’t even bother giving this Tong Clan a single second of his time.
“Still not leaving? Arrest him and take him into the mansion,” the leader yelled when he saw that Ye Mo was did not budget. Next, the other guards stepped forth and tried to arrest Ye Mo.
Ta. Ta. Ta.
Ye Mo casually waved his fist several times and sent the guards flying before they could get near him. These guards were only at Energy Shaping Fifth or Sixth Realm. Ye Mo could kill them by blowing on them if he so wished. But since this was their turf, Ye Mo did not want to go overboard.
“Please take me to the person in charge. I would like to prove my identity,” Ye Mo spoke nonchalantly, gazing straight at the leader of the guards.
Whoosh!
A whizzing sound rang out as a figure shot out of the mansion. The newcomer grabbed at the empty air and instantly, a wind blade formed midair and slashed down towards Ye Mo. The newcomer moved extremely fast, clearly a cultivator of a wind attribute cultivation method. Ye Mo activated the energy within him and, in the blink of an eye, he dodged the attack. The wind blade landed on the ground, leaving a nine-feet long mark on the ground.
“Who is it that is so brave to attack our Tong Mansion?” A delicate young woman slowly walked out of the mansion. She had a slender body and an exquisitely beautiful face, and she currently dressed in a sapphire blue outfit.
The guards stepped forth and deferentially explained to the young woman, “Second young lady, this kid has an unknown background and is claiming to be here for the second order sealing artist recruitment. The mirage is going to appear soon so I’m worried that he is a spy from either the Tie Clan or the Mu Clan.”
The young woman glanced at Ye Mo and asked, “Where are you from?”
This woman was about 20-years old, yet she was already at Energy Shaping Eight Realm. Not only was her physical appearance stunning, her talent was stunning as well. Nevertheless, Ye Mo was a person who had seen many geniuses and thus wasn’t particularly shocked by the sight of her.
“Not a local.”
When the young woman heard the insincere answer, her eyes flashed as she dashed forward and created a wind blade in midair that stabbed towards Ye Mo.
“Pretty girl, why are you attacking me so ruthlessly?”
Ye Mo shook his head. He did not choose to back off from the attack. He stretched his hand out and transformed his palm into a huge dragon claw. The wind blade was immediately destroyed the moment it touched the dragon claw. Then, Ye Mo grabbed at the woman’s throat and spoke, “I am truly not a local, and I am not interested in continuing to waste time with you here. Won’t a test make it clear whether I am a second order sealing artist or not?”
The second young lady was unable to move an inch as Ye Mo held her by the throat. As an Energy Shaping Eight Realm, she had been so easily subdued by this young man who was even younger than she was. This was not something she could accept.
“What are all of you doing standing around? Get him!” she yelled in anger.
The guards had all been stunned by Ye Mo’s performance. Not even they were a match for the second young lady. Now that a young man who could subdue their young lady with one hand had appeared, what could they do? They quickly tossed their hesitation away and charged Ye Mo with their weapons on hand.
“Stop!”
A cold shout sounded. Then, a woman with a similar appearance as the second young lady walked out of the mansion. The newcomer was equally as beautiful and was dressed in a sapphire blue outfit as well.
The newcomer was the first young lady of the Tong Clan, Tong Lan. As for the second young lady, her name was Tong Yao. In truth, the two sisters were twins. If it wasn’t for the different hairstyles, nobody would be able to differentiate them when they appeared together.
“First young lady, you’re here. This kid is creating trouble here and keeps claiming to be a second order sealing artist. Look at his age. How is it possible that he is a second order sealing artist?” The leader of the guards was relieved to see the first young lady. After all, the first young lady was an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warrior. She should be sufficient to deal with the troublemaker.
“You’re dead. My big sister is here. Let’s see how much longer you will stay cocky.”
Tong Yao quickly broke free from Ye Mo’s hold and ran towards Tong Lan while glaring at Ye Mo in anger.
“I am Ye Xiao, a second order sealing artist, here for the recruitment,” Ye Mo said with his hands clasped in greeting.
“Come on in. I will take you to the main hall. So long as you can refine a second order seal, you will be a guest of the Tong Clan. A handsome reward will also be given to express our thanks,” Tong Lan said before turning and entering the mansion. Ye Mo followed closely behind her.
It would seem like this first young lady was not an unreasonable person. Ye Mo followed behind Tong Lan and stepped into the arrival hall after going through a corridor.
“Lan’er, who is the person behind you?” The moment Ye Mo entered the hall, he heard the voice of an old man. The old man was dressed in a black robe and was currently seated within the hall sipping on a cup of tea.
“Elder, he is Ye Xiao, here to interview as a second order sealing artist,” Tong Lan said.
“Second order sealing artist interview? Interesting. Feel free to refine any seal and prove that you are a second order sealing artist,” Tong Shan said after putting down the cup of tea he was holding. His voice was filled with doubt.
