Chen Yihan was a person of immense power and authority. Not only was he the marshal, his wife was the league leader of Wushuang League. He was a person at the top of the pyramid in the Tianwu Kingdom, a tyrant of a generation.

In Tianwu Kingdom, not many people could contend against him.

“What? Are you trying to resist? We are the army tasked with protecting the kingdom. Since we found you suspicious, why are you not moving away so we can check your carriage?” shouted the general on his horse when he saw that Ye Mo was not moving aside.

“Everyone, I am but an ordinary warrior. I am not worth your attention. Please do allow us passage,” Ye Mo said with a frown. Since all the carriages were filled with women, it would not be proper for these soldiers to check the carriage.

Suddenly, female laughter rang out from some of the carriages.

“What’s that? Woman’s laughter, and more than one! Go, take a look!” An Energy Shaping First Realm soldier ran out with his spear and headed towards the carriages.

When Ye Mo saw that, he streaked forward and stopped the soldier’s advance.

“At your age, your cultivation level is decent. Oh, you’re a spear user as well? Come and try my spear!” The soldier laughed when he saw Ye Mo trying to stop him. He directly stabbed his spear at Ye Mo.

It looked like a plain stab, yet it contained the Will of the Ironclad Army Spear within. With a sharp glow, the spear headed straight towards Ye Mo’s head.

Ye Mo stared straight at the spear. His body remained unmoving. Indeed, he was a spear user as well. His Formation-Breaking Spear Technique was filled with countless variations, and thus, even though this spear contained a spear will within, for him, this was but a bland spear. His Formation-Breaking Spear Technique was a much better technique.

The soldier’s spear directly pierced through Ye Mo.

“Afterimage?” The soldier was alarmed. Then, he felt a chill went up his spine as the tip of Ye Mo’s spear rested on the back of his head.

“Defeated already? A soldier of the Chen Clan Army has actually been defeated by a youngster in one move. He is very strong for his age. He has great speed as well.” “He is only at Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm. How can he be that strong? Zhang Qiang wasn’t even able to react!” All the soldiers were astonished at what they saw, especially the general leading them. A clear expression of astonishment could be seen on his face.

“You are not my match, and a spear should not be used the way you are using it,” Ye Mo said expressionlessly.

“What impudence! This spear technique is created by our marshal. My defeat is due to my strength being below you. Do not insult the Chen Clan Spear Technique!” The soldier immediately retorted. For them, their marshal was akin to a god. They would not allow anyone to dishonor him.

“Strength and spear technique are two entirely different matters. Although you have practiced this spear technique to the point you have the Will of the Ironclad Army Spear, but you have not killed sufficient people. The spear will you generate is like an empty shell,” Ye Mo remarked.

“What?” Everyone was alarmed, as these were the exact same words Marshal Chen Yihan had said to them as well. Only those who had experienced the slaughter of the battlefield would be able to fully display the strength of the Will of the Ironclad Army Spear.

Since they were in an era where there was no war, they had not gotten the chance to kill much enemies.

The youth before them was actually able to reach the same conclusion as their marshal.

“Kid, what is your name?” asked the general.

“Ye Mo of Limestone City,” Ye Mo had no fear.

“Ye Mo, not bad. Are you interested to join our Chen Clan Army? With your understanding on the spear, you will definitely be put in an important position in the army. At that time, you will bring honor to your ancestors, to have your name resound thorough the Tianwu Kingdom.”

“Thank you, general, but I am already a Qingyun League member. I’m afraid can’t join the Chen Clan Army,” Ye Mo said as he clasped his hand.

“Qingyun League member? I see. It’s a pity,” said the general with a shake of his head. Then, he said, “Ye Mo, as a Qingyun League, you will probably not do anything that will jeopardize the kingdom. I shall allow you passage,” said the general. Next, the army stepped aside and opened up a way for them.

Ye Mo clasped his hand in greeting at the general before gesturing the carriage drivers to continue onward.

This time, Ye Mo did not enter the carriage. Rather, he sat on the top of the first carriage.

“Ye Mo is really handsome. That Chen Clan soldier is totally not his match.”

“Of course. I heard Ye Mo has eliminated the Freedom Valley all by himself.”

“Alright. I heard we are being send to the City of Daughters. We will regain our freedom.”

“If my future husband is half as outstanding as Ye Mo, I will be fully satisfied.”

A few beautiful women stretched their heads out the first carriage and stared at Ye Mo in infatuation.

Along the way, they encountered several bandits, but all the bandits were dealt with easily.

Three days later, a huge city appeared before Ye Mo. The gate of the city looked incredibly imposing, and above the gate, a board with “City of Daughters” on it was hung.

“We’re finally here!” Ye Mo was pleased. After he told the drivers to stop, he headed towards the carriage Cai Ling was riding. He stuck his head into the carriage and said, “Castellan Cai Ling, we have arrived at your territory. Time for you to show yourself.”

“I am not showing myself for now,” Cai Ling said.

“Why?”

“The City of Daughters has a rule that no men are allowed entry. This is a rule that had been reinforced by the emperor with his imperial divine decree. In other words, not even I have the authority to bring you in. If you want to enter, you have to go through the test.”

Cai Ling indicated that she would only show herself after Ye Mo got through the test.

“Test? What test? Is it hard? What if I fail?” Ye Mo asked anxiously.

Such a test would definitely be unrelated to strength.

The City of Daughters had existed for 100 years, yet the men that had managed to enter could be counted on one’s fingers. All the men allowed entry to the City of Daughters were listed onto a ranking.

And the list were hung beside the gate. Each one of the names there was a name that resounded thorough the history.

Ye Mo slowly walked over and saw a man with a folding fan on his hand. The man was slowly walking towards the city, and just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by two female soldiers.

“Stop! To enter, you must first undertake the test. If you fail and try forcing your way in, that will be considered a violation of the imperial divine decree!”

The man seemed graceful and elegant, and with his folding fan on hand, he said with a smile, “Yes, I am aware of that. I am here to experience the test that very few could pass.”

“Come this way.” The female soldier pointed at a circular formation and said, “This is a formation activated by an illusionary seal. The moment you entered, you will be sent to an illusionary land. When you can persevere no more, the formation will send you out.”
