Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

A day later, Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou had basically understood the situation of the martial artists in the Sky Prison.

Meanwhile, the martial artists imprisoned there seemed to have vented their frustration; they fell silent and no longer spoke as a suffocating atmosphere spread throughout the Sky Prison.

"Among the martial artists imprisoned here, the oldest elder possesses the strength of a Seven Stars Title Emperor Martial. With their resentment towards the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, if I can rescue them, perhaps an alliance with the Wuji Sect could be formed to jointly confront the Iron Blood Emperor Domain."

Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, his eyes blazing with fervor.

This was just the martial artists of the Sky Prison; combined with those in the other two prisons, they constituted a very formidable force.

His Wuji Sect straddled the Holy Fire and Three Alliances’ Great Domains, and was seriously short of manpower.

Moreover, the hatred between the Wuji Sect and the Iron Blood Emperor Domain was beyond reconciliation.

"However, the most important thing is to find Master’s location and rescue him." Xiao Ye shook his head in reflection, contemplating silently.

Saving Wu Ming was the top priority.

"Master Xiao Ye, I can’t wait any longer."

"Just the thought that Master’s descendants might be enduring suffering at the hands of the Infinite Sect torments me endlessly."

"I want to break free right now and search other prisons for Master’s descendants!"

At this moment, Zhuang Zhou quietly spoke to Xiao Ye, his face filled with hatred, flushed red, fists clenching and cracking.

Through the martial artists’ complaints in the Sky Prison, he heard of the horrific torture techniques of the Infinite Sect, and could no longer maintain his calm.

"Alright!"

"Anyway, I can’t ascertain Master’s location, so we might as well make a ruckus in the Infinite Sect. I will attempt to lift your Emperor Realm’s sealing, so you can regain your cultivation." Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he communicated this.

Since Wu Ming’s location couldn’t be determined, staying here was a waste of time. It would be better to charge out and search proactively.

"Someone is coming!"

Just as Xiao Ye was preparing to use the Four Emperor Skills to help Zhuang Zhou break the seal, he suddenly sensed a strong aura approaching, and then saw a figure with a golden mask rush into the cave, instantly changing his expression.

"Hehe, you two boys are lucky; the Emperor’s son is interested in you and has ordered you to be summoned. Come with me." The golden-faced elder said coldly, waving his hand, and a massive suction force pulled Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou out of the cell.

"Emperor’s son?"

"Has the Iron Blood Emperor’s son already arrived?"

Xiao Ye acted as if he had lost his cultivation and fell to the ground, but inside he felt a thrill.

The Iron Blood Emperor’s son came for the Domineering Body; through him, surely Wu Ming’s whereabouts could be ascertained.

"Are these two young fellows going to be tortured so soon? To be honest, this old man rather likes them."

"The Iron Blood Emperor Domain is a cancer in our Central State, not much different from the Ultimate Palace thousands of years ago. I wonder if these two young men can endure such torture."

...

Upon seeing Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou taken away by the golden-faced elder, the martial artists in the Sky Prison opened their eyes again, some with regret, some with thoughts.

Today, all martial artists up and down the Infinite Sect wore expressions of reverence, led by the Sect Master, welcoming a distinguished guest.

A young man, clad in Blood Armor, with a tall and slender figure radiating a remarkable presence, exuding domineering aura, followed by five Titled Emperor Martials.

He was surrounded like stars holding the moon by the Infinite Sect Master and many strong figures, brought into a cave.

No need to say more, this young man was naturally one of the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, the Iron Blood Emperor’s son.

"This time, your Infinite Sect did well, even capturing Wuya Venerable’s heir Zhuang Zhou." The Iron Blood Emperor’s son clasped his hands behind him, smiling.

"In serving the Emperor Domain, of course, our Infinite Sect will not be remiss."

"Wuya Venerable’s heir Zhuang Zhou courted disaster by provocation, and capturing him was justified. Surely, it won’t arouse doubt among other martial artists."

"There’s also a young man whose strength exceeds Zhuang Zhou’s, and though we’ve yet to interrogate him, he gained Law Profound Mysteries inspiration from the Fengyun Stone. Surely, he’ll aid the Emperor’s son’s cultivation breakthrough. I’ve already instructed the golden-faced elder to bring them over."

The Infinite Sect Master, dressed in opulent robes with tiger-like strides, appeared imposing but humbled before the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, deliberately currying favor.

"Never mind those two for now, is Wu Ming imprisoned here?" The Iron Blood Emperor’s son waved dismissively, looking into the cave’s depths with fervent eyes.

His quest is for the Domineering Body.

From his meeting with Xiao Ye and witnessing his powerful rise, and ultimately sweeping enemies away at the Ice and Snow Palace Holy Daughter’s marriage contest, even suppressing the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, the Domineering Body’s brilliance could not be overlooked.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, with slow progress, prompting him to consider cultivating the Domineering Body.

Previously, Xiao Ye’s status couldn’t compare to his, yet he had cultivated the Domineering Body to such a level. Confident of his own status and resources, he felt his achievement in cultivating the Domineering Body couldn’t be worse than Xiao Ye’s.

Eventually, he might surpass Xiao Ye again and become the leading figure among Central State’s youth.

"Indeed."

"Wu Ming, such a character, naturally couldn’t be confined in ordinary Heaven, Earth, Man three prisons." The Infinite Sect Master quickly replied.

"Very well, you may leave now, send Zhuang Zhou and that fortunate youngster inside here, this Emperor’s son will interrogate them personally." The Iron Blood Emperor’s son commanded coldly.

"Emperor’s son, you mustn’t..."

On hearing the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, the Infinite Sect Master and the five Titled Emperor Martials following were startled, wanting to dissuade him, but were interrupted impatiently.

"Humph!"

"A captive old man, could he possibly harm this Emperor’s son?"

"And those two youngsters, even without their cultivation sealed, they’re unlikely to be this Emperor’s son’s match!" The Iron Blood Emperor’s son declared arrogantly.

"Very well, the Emperor’s son’s cultivation is peerless, I worried needlessly."

The Infinite Sect Master chuckled bitterly, signaling with his eyes for everyone to retreat one after another.

"Emperor’s son, the people have been delivered."

Once everyone withdrew, a shadow flashed at the cave entrance and a golden-faced elder flew in, waving his hand, causing Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou to land heavily.

"Zhuang Zhou, we meet again."

"Surprised to see this Emperor’s son?"

The Iron Blood Emperor’s son looked down with mocking eyes, fixating on Zhuang Zhou, utterly ignoring Xiao Ye beside him.

"Yeah, quite surprised." Zhuang Zhou rose from the ground, meeting the Emperor’s son’s gaze, suddenly calm.
