Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 538 - 524: Going Out to Gain Experience
Chapter 538: Chapter 524: Going Out to Gain Experience
At this moment, Wu Pojun suppressed his anger and spoke, "A year from now, it will be the 200th birthday of the Holy Palace Master, so the devilish disciples of the Main Hall are all searching far and wide for birthday gifts to present."
"Since Elder Brother Lin Feng is in closed-door cultivation and cannot personally go out to search, he has provided a map and plans to select several disciples from the Earth Hall to accompany me on this trip."
"Elder Brother Lin Feng is kind-hearted and considers the chance for outdoor training to be rare. Having heard about your situation, he specially offered you this opportunity and asked me to find you to join us in searching for the birthday gift."
Birthday gift for the Holy Palace Master? An outdoor training expedition?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered with light, and his thoughts began to race, followed by a surge of excitement.
An event like the birthday of a powerhouse of Taiyi Palace’s caliber would surely be unprecedentedly grand, with all of Central State likely to be stirred into action, with guests flocking to attend. By then, representatives from the Four Great Holy Regions would certainly come, and it had been a long time since he last saw people like Prince Donghuang and other former acquaintances.
Most important of all was Bing Ya from the Ice and Snow Palace!
Perhaps with this opportunity, he could meet Bing Ya in advance!
Moreover, he would have the chance for outdoor training and to witness the vastness of Central State ahead of time. This opportunity was indeed too precious to miss.
Even if he knew this was surely a trap set by that devil named Ye Feng, he was willing to step into it.
The path of Martial Arts is filled with countless hardships; without undergoing trials by fire, how can one be reborn from the flames?
The thing Xiao Ye feared least was facing difficulties, for he had absolute confidence in himself. After all, it would only be the disciples from the Earth Hall accompanying him—there was nothing for him to fear.
"Good, I agree!" Xiao Ye nodded without hesitation and responded decisively.
Seeing Xiao Ye agree so straightforwardly, Wu Pojun was slightly surprised, then sneered continuously, "Not bad, you, a new disciple, really do have guts. In half a month, I will take you out of Taiyi Palace to search for the birthday gift prepared by Elder Brother Ye Feng."
With that said, Wu Pojun floated away.
Fan Li gave Xiao Ye a mocking glance, then followed along.
"Young Xiao Ye, do you and Ye Feng have some sort of grudge?" Noticing that Xiao Ye had agreed to the proposal and knowing he could not change the situation, Elder Yang asked with knitted brows.
Xiao Ye nodded and then recounted all of his grievances with Fan Li and the issues that involved Ye Feng.
Xiao Ye harbored not only gratitude but also respect for Elder Yang, so he naturally concealed nothing.
"I see, so it turns out that Lin Feng is indeed using this mission to set you up!" Elder Yang shook his head with a troubled expression.
"Elder Yang." Xiao Ye smiled faintly, "Don’t worry. As you’ve heard, it’s only those disciples from the Earth Hall accompanying me. Lin Feng won’t make a personal move, so even if those disciples do something outside, they wouldn’t dare to openly violate the Holy Palace’s rules and take my life, right?"
Elder Yang looked at Xiao Ye, shook his head, and said, "Kid, you’re too naive."
"Sure, with the rules of the Holy Palace, those disciples from the Earth Hall dare not take your life, but once you’re outside the Holy Palace, any excuse will do to destroy the evidence. Do you think they would be punished?" Elder Yang slowly said.
Hearing these words, Xiao Ye’s face turned pale in an instant.
Indeed, he had overlooked this point.
He, in the Holy Palace, relied heavily on Tian Jiu and Elder Yang standing before him. The disciples of the Earth Hall, on the other hand, had the Monster Disciple Lin Feng from the Main Hall behind them. When the confrontation ensues, would there be any hesitation?
"Alright, you don’t have to worry, young man. Come to see me in two days, I will pass on some life-saving techniques to you so you can safely navigate through this crisis," Elder Yang patted Xiao Ye’s shoulder and then turned around to head back into the stone house.
"Two days later?" Hearing this, Xiao Ye was pleasantly surprised. Could it be that Elder Yang planned to pass on his inheritance in two days?
Xiao Ye was looking forward to the upcoming two days immensely. Judging by the reactions from Tian Jiu and the disciples from the Earth Hall, Elder Yang’s inheritance must be extraordinary.
Afterward, Xiao Ye collected his emotions and left the area, making his way towards the space where the Earth Hall was located.
After bringing Xiao Ye here, Tian Jiu had left early. Fortunately, Xiao Ye had a good memory and remembered the way back.
At the same time, in the residential area of the Monster Disciples of the Main Hall, within a palace at the top of a sky-piercing peak.
"Brother Lin Feng!" Fan Li hastened all the way to the palace and kneeled on one knee, offering a bow with his fist held in the other hand respectfully.
Lin Feng, as before, sat with his back to Fan Li, his long hair cascading down, radiating an aloof aura, like a divine spirit, imposing a tremendous pressure on Fan Li.
"Um, how did it go?" Lin Feng asked indifferently.
"Brother Lin Feng, Xiao Ye has agreed!" Fan Li said excitedly.
Lin Feng had specifically sent Wu Pojun to make a move, without a doubt aiming to take action against Xiao Ye.
"Hehe... This newbie’s courage is indeed commendable. It seems he managed to kill an avatar of Shi Tian not by sheer luck but does possess some real skills," Lin Feng said lightly with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s laughter paused, and he inquired, "By the way, why do I only see you reporting back? Where is that little Wu Pojun?"
"Reporting back to Brother Lin Feng, Brother Wu Pojun had a verbal altercation with Xiao Ye. Since Elder Yang was present at the time, it wasn’t appropriate to make a scene, so he sent me to report to you while he has gone to intercept Xiao Ye halfway, preparing to give him a lesson," Fan Li said in haste.
"This Wu Pojun really can’t keep his temper," Lin Feng’s tone was filled with displeasure, "But never mind, a lesson will not do much harm."
"If Xiao Ye still emerges unscathed from this training expedition, then during the Holy Palace Master’s bicentennial birthday, Shi Tian himself will naturally take action against him," Lin Feng’s voice lowered as if he had sunk back into cultivation and never turned around.
What!
Upon hearing this statement, Fan Li’s eyes widened in shock.
Shi Tian himself would take action against Xiao Ye at the Holy Palace Master’s birthday celebration?
The implication of this statement was that Jun Shitian was about to return!
My God, the Monster who once stirred the entire Holy Palace into turmoil was coming back-this was undoubtedly earth-shattering secret news!
Lin Feng seemed to sense Fan Li’s emotional fluctuations and spoke again, "Fan Li, I’ve shared this news with you, do not spread it."
"Yes... yes, Brother Lin Feng, rest assured!" Fan Li’s body trembled, feeling a terrifying intent of murder firmly locking onto him. In his heart, however, he could not understand why Lin Feng would reveal such astounding news to him.
"Good, now you may leave," said Lin Feng.
