Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Chapter 1592 - 1575: Ruthless and Merciless

"The Five Sealed Emperor Strong People haven’t stopped?"Xiao Ye’s heart sank when he heard this, releasing his Half-Emperor Intent to communicate with the Taiyi Palace Master.

After rebuilding the Wuji Sect, he secluded himself in intense cultivation, even lacking time to accompany Xiao Nian, and was not quite clear about the current situation.

Through Taiyi Palace Master’s account, Xiao Ye learned that the Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain have become the Pure Land longed for by Central State Martial Artists, shaking the True Spirit Continent.

It can be said that all surviving Central State martial artists, apart from those who have already reached these two domains, are swarming towards the Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain to seek Xiao Ye’s protection.

But how could the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People just watch as the remaining Central State martial artists all flock under Xiao Ye’s banner for protection without reacting?

Aside from those four cruel Sealed Emperor Strong People, even the Heavenly Emperor showed his fangs.

The Five Sealed Emperor Divine Dynasties have sent Half-Emperor Strong People to intercept the martial artists heading to the Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain, even chasing them to the borders of these domains.

There was even a case where a Half Emperor planning to join Xiao Ye was captured.

Xiao Ye’s eyes glinted with cold light.

After rebuilding the Wuji Sect, he generously distributed the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures brought from the Emperor World, including Holy Dragon Crystals, for everyone to enhance their strength and cultivation.

However, as of now, besides Xiao Ye himself, there is only Taiyi Palace Master with Half Emperor level combat power, along with the reclaimed Half-step Emperor’s Body, even the Half-step Emperor of Ice and Snow Palace fought to death.

For those like Sword Emperor, Pei Jiang, and others, who possess Invincible Title Emperor strength, they value comprehension and opportunities more at this level, making Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures less useful.

As for other martial artists, although their strength has greatly increased through Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they haven’t reached Half Emperor level and thus can’t contribute much.

Previously, most Half Emperor-level experts of Central State were either subdued by the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People or killed.

Now there’s finally one Half Emperor who wishes to join, yet he is intercepted — how can Xiao Ye not be enraged?

He originally believed his deterrence would prevent the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People from acting recklessly, but they’re still instigating slaughter, not violating their agreements, nor tearing face with him; it’s utterly shameless.

"Xiao Ye!"

"The Five Sealed Emperor Strong People are using martial artists’ essence blood for recovery."

"However, they haven’t acted personally, nor have they created chaos within the Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain, so technically they haven’t breached your agreement with them, figuring that we have few Half Emperors here."

"I suspect the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People are doing this to provoke you into action; it’s a trap, and you must remain calm and not fall into it."

Taiyi Palace Master reluctantly stated.

The martial artists of Central State believe Xiao Ye stands on equal footing with the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, but he knows this situation is only temporary.

It’s not that Xiao Ye is sufficiently strong; the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People, as Quasi Emperors, lack something, making the cost of dealing with Xiao Ye too high.

Once the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People breakthrough, it will disrupt everything.

Now, it’s a race to see who can break through first.

Whether Xiao Ye advances to Quasi Emperor first, or the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People restore to peak state first; any intervening matter now will affect Xiao Ye’s cultivation.

"Don’t worry, I won’t act impulsively."

"But, the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People’s brazen actions will not go without some cost."

Xiao Ye said calmly, as the cold light in his eyes receded.

"Letting the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People pay a price?" Taiyi Palace Master was immediately filled with confusion.

Xiao Ye must preside over the Three Alliances Domain, and he can at best fight against a middle-level Half Emperor — how can he make the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People pay a price?

Taiyi Palace Master sighed, withdrawing his Half-Emperor Intent.

In the following month, the entire Central State was even more shaken.

Because the Divine Dynasties established by the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People have grown increasingly reckless, and their Half Emperor experts almost blocked all access at the borders of the Three Alliances Domain and Holy Fire Domain.

They intercept and attack any martial artists attempting to join the Wuji Sect without sparing a single one.

Among them, the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty is the most arrogant.

The Half Emperors of the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty even seized several blood-soaked corpses and flew into the Wuji Sect’s territorial range to boast before leaving casually; angering Sword Emperor and others to no end yet powerless to retaliate.

A wave of panic swept across the two domains’ land; martial artists coming to join the Wuji Sect lost their composure.

If the Dark Emperor Dynasty’s Half Emperors could brandish martial artists’ corpses boastingly, and the Wuji Sect doesn’t retaliate, even opting for silence, it inevitably breeds panic.

Is the restraint between Xiao Ye and the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People on the verge of breaking?

"Lord Xiao Ye, are you not planning to act to quell all this?"

"Sob, my elder brother was captured by the Dark Emperor Dynasty, never to reunite with me again; Lord Xiao Ye, have you decided not to protect us anymore?"

"Lord Xiao Ye, if your heart is for the world, please take action!"

...

The martial artists of the Two Domains gazed towards Wuji City with voices of helplessness.

Originally, they looked at Lord Xiao Ye as hope, yet he disappointed them, still maintaining silence.

"These martial artists don’t understand how Ye Zi and the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People counterbalance each other. If Ye Zi steps in, would the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People simply watch? When the time comes, it’ll be far more severe."

"Yes, these Five Sealed Emperor Strong People are insidious, trying to create turmoil that influences Xiao Ye’s cultivation — public opinion can sometimes destroy a person!"

In Wuji City, Prince Donghuang and Zhuang Zhou ground their teeth, filled with impotence.

They despise their inadequate strength, unable to share Xiao Ye’s burden.

Sword Emperor, Pei Jiang, Wu Ming, and others are all frantically cultivating, aiming to breakthrough to Half Emperor realm to help Xiao Ye.

While Wuji Sect upper and lower members worry for Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye’s secluded palace welcomed five esteemed guests.

"Little Junior Brother, Master and the others wanted you to resolve the Dark Turmoil yourself as training, yet you notified us with the sect’s token, hoping for us to step in — aren’t you afraid of Master blaming you?"

The bald man Shen Cang laughed heartily.

Four Half-step Emperors stood behind him, Xiao Ye’s fellow disciples, each exuding prominence and extraordinary temperament.

At this moment, their faces showed smiles.

"Of course I’ll personally handle the Dark Turmoil — asking fellow senior brothers to come was just to deal with some annoying flies."

"I can only peacefully cultivate once they’re all eliminated." Xiao Ye smiled slightly.

He originally planned to withdraw temporarily to focus on cultivation, but the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People used such insidious methods to disrupt him — Xiao Ye can’t be blamed for being ruthless then.
