Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 1357 - 1340: Uninvited Guest

(An extra Chapter for the birthday of a book-loving younger brother!)

Inside the Wuji Hall, the place was crowded with people, heroes from all around gathered. Under the guidance of the Martial Artists of Wuji Sect, they took their seats, and naturally, there were beautiful maidservants serving wine and delicacies.

The entire Wuji Hall was exceptionally spacious, able to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, so it didn’t feel crowded at all.

Looking around, almost every sect of note in the Central State had sent representatives to witness the Sect Establishment Ceremony of Wuji Sect, with the forces of the Three Great Emperor Domains being particularly eye-catching.

Of course, it was understandable that no representatives were sent from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain due to the blood feud they had with Xiao Ye and Wuji Sect.

"Brother Xiao, congratulations, you are indeed formidable. Not being able to face you in the Ice and Snow Palace’s son-in-law selection event was a great regret."

A youth with an average build and dark skin sat in a corner, raising his glass to Xiao Ye with a sincere blessing, instantly drawing a lot of attention.

The Hidden Genius, Zhuang Zhou, had also arrived.

He was a disciple of Wuya Venerable and a peak strong person among the youth of Central State, already possessing the strength of a Titled Emperor Martial, enough to stand alongside the Four Great Emperor’s Sons.

At the Ice and Snow Palace’s Holy Daughter selection event, Zhuang Zhou had demonstrated terrifying strength and became a renowned figure in Central State.

"Brother Xiao, though I am not your match for now, I will strive to catch up with you," Dongfang Huoqing also raised his glass to Xiao Ye.

He was another powerful Hidden Genius, noticed by an ancient figure from the Ice and Snow Palace, and with cultivation under that figure, his cultivation had become increasingly profound.

Dongfang Huoqing greatly admired Xiao Ye’s achievements.

Xiao Ye, smiling with Bing Ya by his side, responded. Everywhere he went, strong figures responded with smiles, making the atmosphere within the Wuji Hall very lively and joyous.

Youths like the Absolute Emperor’s Son and Zhuang Zhou were chatting enthusiastically together.

Among those who came to offer congratulations, only the Ice and Snow Palace and the Invincible Emperor Domain found themselves in an awkward position.

These two major sects once had the opportunity to establish good relations with Wuji Sect, but due to choices made in the past, their relationship with Xiao Ye was difficult to mend. Though Xiao Ye greeted them with smiles, it was clear that beneath those smiles lay indifference.

Particularly, the Ice and Snow Palace, having been attacked by strong people from the Ultimate Palace, suffered great losses and fell from its peak, losing its qualification to stand alongside the Taiyi Palace, and faced much cold treatment, which made them extremely embarrassed.

It’s worth mentioning that the Unrivaled Emperor Domain had previously pursued Prince Donghuang, but due to Xiao Ye’s influence, retracted their pursuit and even greeted Prince Donghuang warmly.

"Thank you all for coming to witness the Wuji Sect’s Sect Establishment Ceremony, now the hour has arrived..."

Inside the Wuji Hall, an old and stern elder came forward, his resonant voice echoing through the palace, instantly quieting the hall as all eyes turned towards him.

Under Xiao Ye’s leadership, the Martial Artists of Wuji Sect proceeded to the center of the Wuji Hall, even the Sword Emperor, still recovering from severe injuries, made an appearance.

"Under the will of Heaven, today my Wuji Sect formally establishes itself in Sky Sword City, within the Three Alliances Domain of Central State, hoping to contribute to the Martial Arts of True Spirit Continent, emulating the great achievements of the Human Race Four Emperors..."

"Xiao Ye, the foremost Young Talent of Central State, is to be named the Sect Leader of Wuji Sect by popular demand."

"The contemporary Young Talent of Central State, former Star Alliance Leader Nangong Xingyu, is to be named Vice Sect Leader of Wuji Sect."

"The contemporary Young Talent of Central State, Prince Donghuang, is to be named Inspector of Wuji Sect."

"The esteemed Sword Emperor is to be named Great Elder of Wuji Sect."

...

This elder, originally an elder from the Sky Sword Sect, was very familiar with various sacrificial processes, so the high level of Wuji Sect entrusted him with arranging today’s Sect Establishment Ceremony.

The elder began offering incense to Heaven, presiding over the ceremonial rites and publicly appointing the leadership of Wuji Sect.

"Bring forth the offerings!"

"Offerings to Heaven!"

...

The elder was very familiar with each process of the Sect Establishment Ceremony and would allow no mistakes.

"This Sect Establishment Ceremony is indeed troublesome!"

Xiao Ye, absorbed in cultivation, had no knowledge of these processes and could only do as he was told.

Thinking of the subsequent wedding ceremony with Bing Ya, Xiao Ye felt a headache coming on.

"I still have some unease in my heart..." A look of worry flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

The Ultimate Palace!

Throughout today, he had been concerned about the Ultimate Palace!

Since his arrival in Central State, remnants of the Ultimate Palace had appeared twice.

The first time was at the Holy Banquet of Taiyi Palace, and the second was at the Ice and Snow Palace’s Holy Daughter selection event.

On both occasions, with Martial Artists from various sects of Central State gathered, the Ultimate Palace came knocking.

For instance, at the Ice and Snow Palace’s Holy Daughter selection event, Xiao Ye heard that after he left, a battle of great magnitude erupted within the Ice Snow Palace, with rivers of blood flowing and many strong figures fallen.

And now, at their Wuji Sect’s Sect Establishment Ceremony, many strong figures had gathered again. Should the Ultimate Palace appear, it would surely lead to rivers of blood in Sky Sword City.

"I hope the Ultimate Palace doesn’t cause trouble, otherwise..." A fierce and cold glint flickered in Xiao Ye’s eyes.

Though Xiao Ye was concerned, the Sect Establishment Ceremony nearing four hours proceeded smoothly towards its conclusion, and subsequently, in the witness of all, he and Bing Ya held their wedding ceremony.

Of course, this was merely a ceremony; upon returning to Wuji Mansion, they still needed to serve tea to Xiao Ye’s parents, completing it in just an hour.

"Who goes there!"

"Today is the day of our Wuji Sect’s Sect Establishment Ceremony, if you wish to participate, please show... Ah!"

At this moment, a voice of reprimand erupted outside Wuji Hall, immediately replaced by cries of pain, as four guards at the door were thrown inside, spraying blood, lifeless on the ground, evidently dead.

"What happened?"

The sudden change left the entire Wuji Hall silent, as all eyes turned towards the door.

Has someone come to cause trouble?

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye stood up from his seat, cold glints surging in his pitch-black eyes.

"Hehe, Xiao Ye, on such an important day, if I didn’t come to participate, it would make your Wuji Sect’s Sect Establishment Ceremony a lot less dazzling, so I came uninvited."

"Moreover, I’ve already sent you two gifts, haven’t you noticed at all? Your response greatly disappoints me."

Accompanied by a soft laugh, a fair-skinned, tall youth stepped forward, followed by three other youths at his side, moving as if they were attendants.

Seeing these four youths, Xiao Ye’s pupils shrank immediately, a look of shock on his face.
