Chapter 1377 - 1360: Voluntary Surrender
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since the Fengyun Stone appeared in this world.
Xiao Ye gained insights into the Law Profound Mysteries from the Fengyun Stone, directly bringing his comprehension of Wind Profoundness close to Great Success. This news shocked the entire Fengyun Domain, and on every street and alley of major cities, Martial Artists were discussing it.
In the Fengyun Domain, the Fengyun Stone has always been a legend, immortal for thousands of years. Every time it appears, it attracts countless Martial Artists attempting to gain insights into the Law Profound Mysteries from it, aspiring to embark on the Emperor Martial Path.
This time, however, a mysterious young expert directly utilized the Fengyun Stone, in front of many Martial Artists, to comprehend the Wind Profoundness to near Great Success. How shocking is that?
Many powerful Sect Martial Artists in the Fengyun Domain are intentionally searching for Xiao Ye’s whereabouts, wanting to learn more about the Fengyun Stone from him.
After all, Xiao Ye is the second Martial Artist in nearly a thousand years to gain insight from the Fengyun Stone; the first was Marquis Kuang, who has already fallen.
Moreover, the news that Xiao Ye rescued Zhuang Zhou from the hands of Xiao Wei, a Golden-faced Elder of Infinite Sect and a Seven Stars Title Emperor Martial, has spread in the Fengyun Domain. His unfathomable power and astonishing movement technique have drawn much admiration, adding a layer of mystery to Xiao Ye.
Many speculate that Xiao Ye must also be a powerful Hidden Genius.
Within just a few days, the formidable sect of Infinite Sect, which dominates the Fengyun Domain, mobilized its elite. Nearly twenty Golden-faced Elders have been dispatched, leading the Infinite Sect Martial Artists to conduct searches in major cities of the Fengyun Domain, based on the altered appearance Xiao Ye used with Domineering Body.
All of a sudden, a tense atmosphere swept over the Fengyun Domain, plunging it into turmoil, with many Martial Artists feeling immense pressure.
In the Fengyun Domain, Infinite Sect is undoubtedly a dominant presence, usually very low-key, and its experts are generally amiable. However, their current anger, coupled with their demonstrated power, is enough to deter anything.
Other Sect Martial Artists who usually have criticisms towards Infinite Sect have fallen silent.
In the Fengyun Domain, Wind Spirit City, within a large and luxurious mansion.
A figure wearing a golden mask sat at the head of the conference hall. Although his expression was obscured by the mask, the aura emitted from him was like a volcano about to erupt, causing the Martial Artists in the hall to tremble involuntarily.
"Currently, all exits of the Fengyun Domain have been completely blocked. Our elite from Infinite Sect have been deployed, yet we still have no trace of that boy or Zhuang Zhou?" Xiao Wei, with an ominous expression, scanned the many stewards from Infinite Sect in the hall with sharp eyes.
"Elder Xiao Wei... although our Infinite Sect has blocked the exits of the Fengyun Domain, it’s a vast area. If those two are intent on hiding, it is indeed very difficult to find them..."
One of the Infinite Sect stewards hurriedly and respectfully said, but before he could finish, a massive suppression swept over him, sending him flying out of the hall, coughing up blood.
At that moment, the entire conference hall fell silent, the atmosphere almost frozen, and everyone was filled with fear.
"Hmph, I don’t want to hear your excuses!"
"Setting aside Zhuang Zhou, the Lord above has already been informed that someone obtained such a great opportunity from the Fengyun Stone, and ordered us to capture that boy in the shortest time. If we enrage the Lord above, not only you, even I will face punishment, do you understand?"
Xiao Wei coldly scolded.
The Lord above!
Upon hearing these words, the Martial Artists in the conference hall shuddered, their souls filled with dread.
Anyone standing in this conference hall is considered high-ranking in Infinite Sect. How could they not know that the real power behind their sect is the Iron Blood Emperor Domain?
Even their highly esteemed Infinite Sect Master was appointed by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.
Should the Iron Blood Emperor Domain become enraged, eradicating Infinite Sect and supporting another sect to replace its position in the Fengyun Domain would be all too easy.
Who would have thought, this matter has even alerted the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.
"Alright, go and bring the other Golden-faced Elders here; I have important matters to discuss with them." Xiao Wei waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
As if granted amnesty, the Infinite Sect stewards in the hall were preparing to leave, when suddenly a figure stumbled in.
"Elder Xiao Wei... good news, Zhuang Zhou and that black-robed youth snuck into Wind Spirit City and were discovered by other Golden-faced Elders in the city. They’re fighting in the city right now!"
Boom!
As this voice came through, Xiao Wei’s eyes instantly lit up, an alarming aura erupted, and he vanished, soaring into the sky, scanning the entirety of Wind Spirit City, his gaze quickly fixing on a direction, an intense cold light burning in his eyes.
"Hahaha, truly, heaven is assisting us!"
"In this Wind Spirit City alone, there are no less than ten Golden-faced Elders. These two boys appeared together; let’s see where you run today!" Xiao Wei laughed sinisterly, his figure darting away.
His urgency to capture Xiao Ye was driven not only by the pressure from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain but also by his own reasons.
As a dignified Seven Stars Title Emperor Martial expert, if he allowed Xiao Ye to escape again, where would he save face?
In a broad street of Wind Spirit City, amidst sand and stones, thunder roared as a fierce fight took place.
Looking around, one could see many stewards and disciples from Infinite Sect charging over, among them several Golden-faced Elders. They unleashed their powerful cultivation, executing various strong Combat Techniques, attacking two young figures.
Surrounding Martial Artists fled in panic, not daring to come close.
Among the two young figures, one youth was in a black robe, of ordinary appearance, but his movement speed was exceptionally fast, his entire being enveloped in the aura of Wind Profoundness. If not for the six Infinite Sect Golden-faced Elders, he would have long broken through the encirclement.
The other youth, with dark skin and medium build, yet possessing an extraordinary demeanor in his every move, exhibited a Combat Power that also reached the Title Emperor Martial Realm, battling against the Infinite Sect Martial Artists.
Needless to say, these two were naturally Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou.
They attempted to break out, but repeatedly the powerful experts of Infinite Sect blocked their way.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As time passed, three more Golden-faced Elders from Infinite Sect arrived to join the battle.
"Hmph, brat, your strength is mediocre at best. I estimate you’re just about a Three Stars Title Emperor Martial. Your movement speed was fast last time, which is how you managed to escape."
"Today, we’ve cut off your escape path, and absolutely won’t allow you an opportunity to flee. If you wish to live, I advise you to surrender willingly."
As a terrifying suppression flowed through heaven and earth, making breathing difficult, Xiao Wei, wearing his golden mask, approached through the air, drawing exclamations from the Martial Artists in Wind Spirit City.
Including Xiao Wei, there were now ten Golden-faced Elders from Infinite Sect present, each a Title Emperor Martial, in addition to numerous stewards and disciples. These two youths truly had no escape.
"Damn it, really unfortunate, who would have thought there’d be so many experts in this city. You’ve won, Infinite Sect, I admit defeat."
At this moment, seeing Xiao Wei’s arrival, Xiao Ye dodged out of the battle, a bitter smile appearing on his face, yet a barely detectable cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
