Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1326 - 1309: The Storm Approaches

(Originally wanted to update sooner, but had to accompany guests for dinner in the evening, so only now can I update)

Xiao Ye walked out of the secluded chamber and welcomed Prince Donghuang to his residence at the Wuji Mansion.

"Ye Zi, you sure are leisurely, retreating for cultivation and leaving all matters to us." Prince Donghuang complained incessantly as soon as he sat down.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly and conversed with Prince Donghuang for a while, gaining an understanding of the current development of Wuji Sect, quite satisfied.

What disappointed Xiao Ye was that there was still no news about the whereabouts of Wu Ming.

"Ye Zi, although our Wuji Sect controls the entire Three Alliances Domain, several surrounding domains still don’t recognize our position. Whenever our Wuji Sect martial artists try to enter their territory, they are not allowed even one step inside, and they’ve even started attacking our Wuji Sect territory, watching us like hawks."

"In the past couple of days, several conflicts have already occurred between Wuji Sect and the forces of nearby domains, resulting in the loss of some martial artists. The Sword Emperor, along with some Titled Emperor Martial from Sealing Emperor City, has gone to deal with it. What do you think is the solution to this issue?"

"Personally, I think we should bring out your half-step Emperor’s physical body to establish our power and see who dares to disrespect our Wuji Sect in the future!"

Prince Donghuang suddenly became serious, with undisguisable anger in his tone.

Now that Wuji Sect has been established, Xiao Ye hasn’t kept the matter of the half-step Emperor’s physical body a secret from close friends like Nangong Xingyu and Prince Donghuang.

If a sect wishes to establish and develop itself in the Central State, it inevitably needs interactions with surrounding domains, such as exchanging cultivation resources or trading.

Though Wuji Sect hasn’t officially announced its establishment as a sect, it has already formed the prototype of a major sect within the Central Province Eighteen Domains’ Three Alliances Domain, developing in an orderly manner and on the right track.

Yet during this period, Wuji Sect martial artists have faced rejection from many forces in the Central State, which is causing quite a headache for everyone in the sect.

Prince Donghuang came specifically for this matter, seeking Xiao Ye’s advice.

"There’s no need to worry about those clowns."

"Those sect forces in the Central State probably see Wuji Sect as just a passing meteor, shining only for the moment, unable to radiate eternally." Xiao Ye responded with a cold laugh.

He’s not a fool; hearing Prince Donghuang’s recount, he naturally guessed why these Central State forces refuse to acknowledge Wuji Sect’s position.

Iron Blood Emperor Domain!

Wuji Sect hasn’t even held a Sect Establishment Ceremony and rose after stepping on Iron Blood Emperor Domain, killing so many Iron Blood Army forces. The Iron Blood Emperor Domain definitely wouldn’t let Wuji Sect go.

In the eyes of outsiders, while Wuji Sect has shown strong capabilities and even holds the future promise, as created by Central State’s youth first Xiao Ye, it can’t compare to the extraordinary strength of the Four Great Emperor Domains.

When the Iron Blood Emperor Domain seeks revenge, Wuji Sect might just become history; naturally, they wouldn’t acknowledge Wuji Sect.

Furthermore, sect forces from several surrounding domains are waiting for Wuji Sect’s collapse so they can carve up the Three Alliances Domain.

Besides, who dares to oppose Iron Blood Emperor Domain, after Wuji Sect created enmity with them?

Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s cold laughter, Prince Donghuang nodded, looking worried. "According to our Wuji Sect spies, although Iron Blood Emperor Domain has been silent recently, I have a feeling they’re preparing for something major in the future."

To Wuji Sect’s members, Iron Blood Emperor Domain has always been a heavy stone weighing on their hearts.

Recently, stories about Wuji Sect have already been spreading fervently in the Central State; Iron Blood Emperor Domain is surely aware that five thousand Iron Blood Army and ten Titled Emperor Martial have fallen.

But the more silent they are, the more uneasy everyone feels.

"No worries."

"Nowadays, with Ultimate Palace revival causing unrest in the Central State, all Four Great Emperor Domains are preparing to deal with Ultimate Palace. At this point, the Four Domain Masters can’t personally come."

"As long as the Iron Blood Domain Master doesn’t appear, I have no fear, for we have half-step Emperor Level combat power on our side." Xiao Ye analyzed thoroughly, making Prince Donghuang smile.

Indeed!

Iron Blood Emperor Domain may be powerful, but with Ultimate Palace acting as a deterrent, they can’t act too recklessly, and Wuji Sect isn’t easy to provoke.

"However, Iron Blood Emperor Domain is bound to target Wuji Sect; we don’t need to concern ourselves with the attitudes of nearby sect forces for now. Let the Sword Emperor and others return first."

"Once we truly establish ourselves and officially announce our establishment as a sect, anyone daring to provoke Wuji Sect will be washed in blood!" Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Good!"

Prince Donghuang, understanding Xiao Ye’s worries, nodded and stood up, ready to transmit the message.

At this moment, chaos suddenly erupted across Wuji Mansion, with noisy clamor outside mixed with overwhelming killing intent spreading rapidly.

"What happened? It’s coming from the assembly hall."

Xiao Ye and Prince Donghuang’s hearts skipped as they hurried out of their residence.

"Xiao Ye!"

Bing Ya, who had been in seclusion alongside Xiao Ye, was also startled by the commotion from the mansion, flying out of her chamber and heading to Wuji Mansion’s assembly hall with Xiao Ye.

As soon as they arrived at Wuji Mansion’s assembly hall, a pungent scent of blood rushed upon them.

Xiao Ye raised his gaze and his pupils contracted suddenly.

An injured middle-aged martial artist lay sprawled in the hall, his body covered in blood and his breath weak, evidently severely wounded; Wuji Mansion’s strong individuals had nearly all gathered there, anger blazing in their eyes.

"It’s Ling Feng from so-called Bright Moon Sect, one of Sealing Emperor City’s Ten Great Sects’ Titled Emperor Martial." Xiao Ye instantly recognized the middle-aged martial artist.

"Ye Zi, the senior Ling Feng went with Sword Emperor to resolve the conflicts with forces of nearby domains!" Prince Donghuang exclaimed, a bad premonition arising in his heart.

For a Titled Emperor Martial to be so grievously injured, it’s hard to imagine what really transpired.

"Sect Leader, things have gone awry!"

"I went with Sword Emperor to the border Black Rock City of Three Alliances Domain. When we arrived, we found the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s strong men had already ambushed there, attacking us directly. Our Wuji Sect has already lost two Titled Emperor Martial."

"I escaped amid the chaos; Sect Leader, hurry and rescue them!"

Seeing Xiao Ye emerge, Ling Feng struggled up and cried hoarse, panic-stricken, seemingly still feeling residual fear.

What!

Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Xiao Ye’s face changed dramatically.

Has Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s revenge finally arrived?
