Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Hahaha, it’s so good to see the sunlight again!"

"I never thought there’d be a day in my life when I’d walk out of the Infinite Sect’s prison!"

"Thank you so much for saving us!"

"Is our benefactor attacking the Infinite Sect? Do you need our help? Though our cultivation isn’t strong, we are still Emperor Realm Martial Artists."

"That’s right, the Infinite Sect has imprisoned us for so many years; we must seek revenge!"

...

The headquarters of the Infinite Sect, nestled within a range of mountains stretching thousands of miles, echoed with joyful laughter. There, countless disheveled martial artists flickered about, looking up and howling with excitement.

Within the headquarters of the Infinite Sect, Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou easily found two other prisons without much effort.

Although these two prisons were also covered by an array, they were clearly no match for the Sky Prison. Xiao Ye, using the power of his half-step Emperor’s body, easily shattered them and released the martial artists inside.

The Sky Prison of the Infinite Sect held those called the Titled Emperors, whereas the Earth Character Prison detained ordinary Emperor Realm Martial Artists, numbering more than a thousand.

As for the lowest, the Human Character Prison, it held King Martial Realm Martial Artists and even Void Martial Realm Martial Artists, whose relative strength was inferior, a mixed batch.

Unlike the Sky Prison where.

The inmates of the Sky Prison were all Titled Emperors, highly threatening, so all of their cultivation was sealed, whereas the martial artists in these two prisons posed no significant threat to the Infinite Sect; their cultivation was generally not sealed, just imprisoned.

Once released, these martial artists all kneeled towards Xiao Ye’s figure in the sky, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.

They had been imprisoned for several years, in utter darkness, suffering endless torment, never imagining they’d have a day of freedom.

Aside from their immense gratitude towards Xiao Ye, they harbored deep hatred for the Infinite Sect and the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

Zhuang Zhou also spent much effort finding the descendants of Wuya Venerable.

It was a young boy, only a teenager, thin and with a sickly pallor.

This was the last surviving descendant of Wuya Venerable; all other clan members had been tortured to death.

"Everyone, you must escape quickly. It’s likely that the Iron Blood Emperor Domain will soon send a half-step Emperor here," Xiao Ye advised loudly, stepping on the void, once again using his half-step Emperor’s body to shatter the Mountain Protection Array of the Infinite Sect, before his figure flashed as he rushed toward the battlefield deep within the mountains.

Even with Wu Ming and Pei Jiang joining the battle, the fight with the Infinite Sect and the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s strong men was still not over.

For some reason, an ominous feeling persisted in his heart—an intense sense of crisis pressured him to leave quickly.

"Master Xiao Ye, by doing this, aren’t you afraid that these people might expose you once they leave?" Zhuang Zhou urgently transmitted his voice, anxiety filling his heart.

Xiao Ye had crippled the cultivation of the Iron Blood Emperor’s son and had him imprisoned in the Emperor Realm; one could imagine how furious the Iron Blood Emperor Domain would be!

Currently, only they and the Infinite Sect’s strongmen knew about this matter.

As long as they killed all martial artists of the Infinite Sect and Iron Blood Emperor Domain, the secret wouldn’t be exposed.

Yet Xiao Ye had released all the martial artists from these two prisons, which could potentially cause serious trouble.

Zhuang Zhou originally thought they’d only rescue the descendants of Wuya Venerable from the two prisons.

"The Iron Blood Emperor’s son has been crippled by me; with the abilities of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, they will eventually find out sooner or later."

"These martial artists have been imprisoned by the Iron Blood Emperor Domain for so many years that they harbor immense hatred for it. Once free, they will naturally expose the evil deeds of the Infinite Sect, which is to our advantage."

Xiao Ye glanced at Zhuang Zhou, transmitting his thoughts calmly.

He never saw himself as a kind person, but was exceedingly disgusted by the wicked deeds of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

At this time, with the Ultimate Palace looming in the background, the True Spirit Continent needed powerful martial artists to avert the impending catastrophe awakened by the Ultimate Palace, rather than keeping them imprisoned here for life.

Zhuang Zhou was momentarily taken aback, then broke into a bitter chuckle.

Indeed!

With the powers of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, even if they wished to conceal the truth, it probably wouldn’t be hidden for long. But by releasing these martial artists, they could instead expose the evil deeds of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

"Kill them, and then leave immediately. We cannot stay here long."

Xiao Ye flew through the air, charging to the depths of the Infinite Sect headquarters. Seeing the battle in full swing in the air, his eyes flashed with chilling light and seething killing intent.

Boom!

In the next moment, Xiao Ye activated the secret technique, Dayan Driving Heaven Technique, using his half-step Emperor’s body to charge forward. His unparalleled power swept the surroundings, instantly annihilating two Golden-faced Elders of the Infinite Sect.

Due to continually using the power of his half-step Emperor’s body, his Emperor’s Martial Intent was already three-fourths exhausted, necessitating a swift resolution.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Xiao Ye’s arrival, the Infinite Sect Master was so angry he almost coughed up blood.

He witnessed Xiao Ye shatter the two other prisons.

Yet he was entangled with Wu Ming, Pei Jiang, and the Sky Prison’s strongmen, unable to act, forced to watch helplessly as it all unfolded.

This time, even if they managed to kill Xiao Ye and others, they would likely face punishment from the Iron Blood Domain Master.

"Brother Zhuang Zhou, you handle the others, I must go help Master!" Xiao Ye shouted, ignoring defenses in his Iron Blood Armor, wielding the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist with unstoppable dominance, charging directly towards Wu Ming.

Wu Ming and Pei Jiang were currently facing off against the undefeatable Titled Emperor Martial Artist of the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

Fortunately, Wu Ming’s Domineering Body was invincible, his strength surpassed the ordinary invincible Titled Emperor Martial Artist. Though the chains pierced all his crucial points, affecting his strength, with the veteran monster Pei Jiang, they managed to hold off the three invincible Titled Emperor Martial Artists from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, stalemating them.

As Xiao Ye, employing his half-step Emperor’s body, joined the battle, the situation shifted instantly; one invincible Titled Emperor Martial Artist was smashed away by the Nine Dragon Holy Method, seized and shredded by Wu Ming, spilling scorching blood that terrified the remaining two Titled Emperor Martial Artists, like a shadow of death looming over their hearts.

Though their combined strength was formidable, unafraid of a half-step Emperor’s body, individually, they could scarcely contend.

And even worse was yet to come.

Many martial artists freed from the two prisons left swiftly after hearing Xiao Ye’s words, but still, some remained, harboring deep hatred, madly attacking the disciples of the Infinite Sect.

In no time, the ordinary disciples of the Infinite Sect suffered heavy casualties, the ground dyed red with blood, making this mountain range resemble a terrifying hell.

Hearing the screams of the disciples echoed, the Golden-faced Elders of the Infinite Sect were shaken to their core, their faces ashen.

Their Infinite Sect was utterly doomed!

"Hehe, how interesting, it seems that the blood feud between Xiao Ye and the Iron Blood Emperor Domain is set, impossible to resolve. Everything is unfolding just as I planned."

"I’ve heard that within the Four Great Emperor Domains, terrifying existences lie dormant. If I spread the news that the Iron Blood Emperor’s son was crippled by Xiao Ye, will the Wuji Sect fall because of it?"

In the sky, ten miles away from the Infinite Sect headquarters, a youth of immeasurable depth hovered in mid-air, akin to a divine entity, a playful glint in his deep eyes.
