Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1302 - 1285: Return to Sealing Emperor City
The Central State is vast, encompassing a total of eighteen domains, each extremely spacious.
Sealed Emperor City is located in the Purple Heaven Domain among the Central Province Eighteen Domains. From the Snow Domain to the Purple Heaven Domain, at Xiao Ye and Bing Ya’s flying speed, it would take a long time to reach even if traveling at full speed.
More than half a month later, in the Purple Heaven Domain, a relatively remote city named Tiankun City, a pair of young figures, a man and a woman, descended from the sky and flew into this city.
The man is a young man, dressed in a black robe, with an ordinary appearance and average build, but every gesture of his exudes extraordinary charisma.
The woman is in her prime, dressed in green clothes, with a graceful figure and long, straight legs stepping forward, her three thousand strands of black hair cascading like a waterfall, swaying with the wind. Her face is covered with a light veil, yet it cannot hide her sacred aura, instantly attracting the attention of many in the city.
Were it not for the perception of the terrifying aura emanating from the young man, making him seemingly formidable, many would have flocked to the woman.
Needless to say, this pair of man and woman is Xiao Ye and Bing Ya, who set off on their journey to Sealed Emperor City.
These two departed while concealing their identities and discovered that the situation in the Central State has become extremely chaotic. They frequently encountered teams from the Four Great Emperor Domains. Cautiously avoiding them, they finally arrived here.
"Finally arrived in the Purple Heaven Domain. Just a thousand miles ahead, and we can reach Sealed Emperor City," Xiao Ye murmured softly, revealing a touch of a smile.
"Xiao Ye, there is an inn ahead. Let’s go in and gather some information," Bing Ya suggested thoughtfully, her beautiful eyes flashing as she looked at the inn not far in the city.
Throughout this journey, she noticed that Xiao Ye seemed relaxed, but he was genuinely concerned about Senior Wu Ming, so he kept probing for information on the current state of Central State.
"Alright!"
Xiao Ye smiled slightly, holding Bing Ya’s small hand, walking toward the inn.
Anyway, Sealed Emperor City is right up ahead, so there’s no fear of wasting a bit of time.
They entered the inn, chose a seat near the window, ordered some snacks, and sat down.
Without needing to inquire, the inn was already filled with diners from all over, who were in lively discussions.
Xiao Ye listened intently and discovered that these diners were talking about last month’s Holy Daughter’s husband selection event from the Ice and Snow Palace, as well as the incidents of Dao Palace Master Luo Xiao from one of the Ultimate Palace’s three sub-palaces leading many martial artists of Ultimate Palace to descend.
"Tsk tsk, speaking of Supreme Xiao Ye, he really is bold, daring enough to offend three of the Four Great Emperor Domains alone, causing them to hunt him throughout Central State."
"It’s not that Supreme Xiao Ye offended the Three Great Emperor Domains. It’s the Three Great Emperor Domains being overly oppressive. Supreme Xiao Ye merely defeated the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, and now they want to execute him. If it were you, you’d do the same."
"Indeed."
"Sigh, Iron Blood Emperor Domain is so overbearing. They even captured Senior Wu Ming, and are searching for Supreme Xiao Ye throughout Central State. Who knows how Supreme Xiao Ye is doing; there’s not a hint of news."
...
These diners were mostly ordinary martial artists, yet many spoke in defense of Xiao Ye, which made Bing Ya smile lightly.
After listening for a while, Xiao Ye didn’t gather any valuable intelligence and was preparing to leave with Bing Ya when suddenly a voice caught his interest.
"Hehe, I’ve heard a secret rumor."
"When the martial artists of Dao Palace attacked the Ice and Snow Palace from one of Ultimate Palace’s three sub-palaces, four young men descended upon the Ice and Snow Palace, among them the First Devilish Disciple Jun Shitian of the former Taiyi Holy Palace, whom even Dao Palace Master Luo Xiao treated with utmost respect."
"Though that young man did not act, he lightly commented on the Four Great Emperor’s Sons: ’Just so, after sealing myself for thousands of years, only Xiao Ye in this lifetime can rival me in Central State.’"
"The appearance of that young man is strictly confidential, even the Four Great Emperor Domains are tight-lipped about it. I learned about it by chance."
This statement shocked everyone in the inn.
Xiao Ye was also a bit taken aback, and even Bing Ya was stunned.
Jun Shitian not being dead didn’t surprise Xiao Ye much. After all, during the Tianwu Sea incident, no one saw Jun Shitian’s corpse, and it was too easy for Ultimate Palace to rescue Jun Shitian.
But who is this young man that even Dao Palace Master Luo Xiao would treat with the utmost respect? And he even commented on the Four Great Emperor’s Sons so lightly?
What is the identity of this young man? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Is the sudden descent of Ultimate Palace’s martial artists to the Ice and Snow Palace related to this young man?" Xiao Ye mused inwardly.
As he listened further, he found no more information, so he shook his head, put away all doubts, and left with Bing Ya.
The situation in Central State is becoming increasingly complex, and no one knows when Ultimate Palace might appear next. To protect his family and friends, he must capture Sealed Emperor City to have a foothold.
Currently, Iron Blood Emperor Domain is searching for him everywhere. He cannot stay in one place for too long, or his location will be exposed.
Two hours later, Xiao Ye’s eyes met a desolate mountainous region.
The terrain was jagged and sparsely populated, with Heavenly Trees towering majestically, growing abundantly, along with the surging Yangtze River.
"Is this where Sealed Emperor City is located?"
"I feel like this place... seems concealed by an array," Bing Ya perceptively noted upon arriving.
"That’s right, Yaya, you are so smart," Xiao Ye smiled slightly, directly releasing the Earth Attribute Emperor Realm behind him. Three Titled Emperor Martial elders sent by Sword Emperor to protect him flew out from within.
They had been healing within Xiao Ye’s Emperor Realm and are now almost fully recovered.
"Xiao Ye, hope this time you can truly make the Ten Great Families and Ten Great Sects submit." After finishing their words, the elders simultaneously cast a sealing technique to reveal the array here.
Xiao Ye had already communicated with them on the way.
Buzz!
As the three elders cast sealing techniques, the surrounding scenery suddenly transformed, even space trembled, revealing a vast and complex array pattern, and an unexpectedly deep bottomless abyss appeared beneath.
Back then, relying on his formidable strength, Xiao Ye tore open a gap in the array. Now with the three elders, such trouble was unnecessary.
"Let’s go, Yaya!"
Xiao Ye held Bing Ya’s small hand and took the lead by charging into the bottomless abyss.
"Hmm?"
"Xiao Ye!"
"You damn rascal, dare to come again!"
Flying along the bottomless abyss for some time, the starlit sky met his gaze, followed by an icy Emperor’s Martial Intent sweeping forth, bursting with an astonishing killing intent.
