Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

(Sorry, there were some matters to attend to in the morning, so the second Chapter update was delayed.)

"I didn’t expect so many sect martial artists to come here."

"Aside from the Infinite Sect, the second largest sect in Fengyun Domain, the Feixing Sect has also arrived."

"It seems these sects want to recruit this youth."

"Of course, this youth, with the appearance of a loose cultivator, yet with such strength, surpassing the likes of Ling Dao and Sun Yun, is probably a hidden genius with limitless potential in the future. Which sect wouldn’t want to recruit him? Exciting times are coming, hehe."

...

The Fengyun Stone appeared once more, and news of someone gaining insights into the Law Profound Mysteries from it spread rapidly. More martial artists came upon hearing the news, including those from major sects within Fengyun Domain.

These martial artists’ gaze was sharp as they looked at Xiao Ye by the Fengyun Stone.

"Is it this guy?"

At this moment, three figures wearing golden masks flew over simultaneously, exuding a terrifying aura with their every move. The noise in the forest faded, and many martial artists felt a suffocating pressure, their hearts pounding wildly.

Even the martial artists from other sects in Fengyun Domain looked over with trepidation.

"My god, it’s the Golden-faced Elders from the Infinite Sect!"

"It’s said that the Golden-faced Elders from the Infinite Sect number only twenty, each a Title Emperor Martial. I didn’t expect three to arrive so quickly!"

"Looks like the Infinite Sect also wants to recruit this youth!"

"The Infinite Sect is the most powerful sect in Fengyun Domain, with three Golden-faced Elders arriving, other sects have no chance."

...

The martial artists in the forest quietly discussed as they gazed at the three figures wearing golden masks.

Though the Infinite Sect acts low-profile and amiable, it is indisputably the top sect in Fengyun Domain.

"That’s right, Elder, it’s this guy."

Seven disciples from the Infinite Sect quickly saluted the three Golden-faced Elders respectfully and whispered.

"Hmph!"

"We’ve long investigated. To approach the Fengyun Stone, one must have strong cultivation and a secret technique to match."

"Therefore, today, no matter what, we must stop this kid and force out that set of secret techniques. Such treasure in Fengyun Domain cannot be handed over to others."

...

One of the three Golden-faced Elders from the Infinite Sect had a fiery glimmer in his eyes behind the mask, his voice aged.

The Fengyun Stone is a renowned treasure in Fengyun Domain, its fame immense. How could they, the Infinite Sect, not know of it?

In fact, long ago, the Infinite Sect analyzed the Fengyun Stone, deducing the answer based on insights gained from it centuries ago by Marquis Kuang.

Now that Xiao Ye had also gained insights from the Fengyun Stone, they received the news and rushed over immediately.

Most of the strong sect members who arrived here in Fengyun Domain held the same thoughts as the three Golden-faced Elders of the Infinite Sect, waiting for an opportunity. A tense atmosphere filled the scene.

Ordinary martial artists who didn’t know the reason believed that the Infinite Sect and other Fengyun Domain sect martial artists were here to recruit Xiao Ye.

Looking out, only a few people persisted in approaching the Fengyun Stone, among them the bald strongman Sun Yun. He stopped seventy steps from the Fengyun Stone, unable to move further, watching time slip by in despair.

Xiao Ye was oblivious to the current situation as he immersed himself in the rapid advancement of Wind Profoundness.

"Besides the Slaughter Principle, I’ve comprehended the Wind Profoundness of the Natural Law. If I can comprehend it to the Perfect Realm, my strength in Law Profound Mysteries alone will be formidable!"

Xiao Ye’s heart surged.

Over three years had passed, with more than half of this year gone; the day of Heavenly Elder’s fall drew nearer, and the pressure was mounting.

Just as the two hours of the Fengyun Stone’s appearance were nearing their end, suddenly—

Boom!

A massive aura abruptly descended from the sky, unleashing a fierce gale that made the trees in the forest tremble. A dark-skinned, intermediate youth suddenly appeared, launching a sneak attack on seven disciples from the Infinite Sect.

Pfft!

Everything happened too quickly. As everyone reacted, among the seven Infinite Sect disciples, three spewed fresh blood and flew backward, crashing to the ground with no life remaining, evident of their demise.

What!

The sudden change stunned everyone, faces filled with disbelief.

Someone actually attacked and killed disciples of the Infinite Sect!

"It’s the hidden genius targeting the Infinite Sect in recent days, Zhuang Zhou!"

"Why does this guy repeatedly target the Infinite Sect disciples?"

...

When everyone saw the attacker clearly, a martial artist exclaimed.

At the spouse selection contest of the Ice and Snow Palace Saintess, Zhuang Zhou, the hidden genius known all over the world, had arrived!

"The people of the Infinite Sect, all should die!"

While usually gentle, Zhuang Zhou now seemed to transform, carrying a tyrannical momentum as he continued to attack.

Although a young martial artist, his strength was formidable, fully stepping into the Title Emperor Martial realm while chasing down the remaining four disciples of the Infinite Sect.

"Little bastard, you’re courting death!"

"Righteous paths you shun, no door in hell but you enter. We’ve been hunting you everywhere in the Infinite Sect, yet you came knocking today. The three of us will kill you!"

...

The three Golden-faced Elders from the Infinite Sect roared in anger, their hair standing on end, erupting with massive waves of Mysterious Rules as they charged at Zhuang Zhou, rescuing the four disciples he was chasing.

Zhuang Zhou snorted coldly, fearless as he engaged in combat with the three Golden-faced Elders.

Boom!

Instantly, terrifying energy waves traversed space, uprooting heavenly trees, with the sound of fierce clashes echoing through the heavenly dome, shredding the clouds in mid-air.

"Retreat quickly!"

"This is a battle at the Title Emperor Martial level; we can’t involve ourselves!"

...

Nearby martial artists frantically retreated, faces filled with shock.

Although Zhuang Zhou fought three, he did not fall behind and, as Wuya Venerable’s heir, deployed various powerful combat techniques, shaking heaven and earth.

"Hmph, Zhuang Zhou, do you think being Wuya Venerable’s heir lets you rampantly challenge our Infinite Sect?"

"Unfortunately, Wuya Venerable fell long ago; we shall kill you without hesitation."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed, revealing another golden-masked figure descending from the sky, aura immensely strong, punching at Zhuang Zhou, causing him, who was initially unfazed, to vomit blood and retreat.

"Elder Xiao Wei!"

Instantly, the other three Golden-faced Elders of the Infinite Sect respectfully saluted the newcomer, shocking the surrounding martial artists.

"It’s Xiao Wei, ranked in the top three among the Infinite Sect’s Golden-faced Elders. Rumor has it he’s a Seven Stars Title Emperor Martial, no wonder his strength is so astonishing!"

"I didn’t expect him to come too; it seems Zhuang Zhou is destined to fall."

...

Under everyone’s gaze, the Golden-faced Elder Xiao Wei pressed toward Zhuang Zhou, his eyes cold and ruthless, ready to strike again. The authority of a Seven Stars Title Emperor Martial caused the surrounding martial artists’ legs to tremble and the atmosphere to freeze completely.

"Brother Zhuang Zhou, need some help?"

At this moment, a calm voice spread.

Only to see the Fengyun Stone emit rumbling sound, gradually disappearing, while the black-robed youth sitting cross-legged beside it suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. Green whirlwinds intertwined around him, forming Mysterious Lotuses, directly knocking Sun Yun far away.
