Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Black Rock City, once a majestic fortress bustling with people, now lay with crumbling walls, enveloped in dead silence, the stench of blood in the air.

Looking across, corpses scattered the city—the Martial Artists of Wuji Sect, innocent adults, and children alike couldn’t escape, all murdered. The crimson blood flowed like streams through the city, painting a picture of earthly hell.

The vast Black Rock City was completely silent, its oppressive atmosphere enveloping the group, leaving them speechless as flames of anger ignited in their hearts.

Massacre!

Such cruelty, what kind of brutality is this?

Throughout the Central Province’s Eighteen Domains, such heinous city massacres rarely occur; even when major sects have deep-seated hatred, they seldom extend it to each other’s kin, let alone destroy entire cities.

By this point, there’s no need for explanation; the only force capable of such acts, throughout all Central State, must undoubtedly be the Iron Blood Emperor Domain.

They rushed from Fengyun Domain, traversing in just over a month to Three Alliances Domain, yet still arrived late, discovering the Iron Blood Emperor Domain had already launched a frenzied retaliation.

"Kid, you must stay rational. I’ve sensed the Martial Arts Mark of a half-step Emperor level strongman within this city. Are you sure you want to proceed..." Wu Ming gazed beside him, clenching his fists, his face ashen as he sighed and spoke to Xiao Ye.

Slaughtering everyone in Black Rock City, it shows the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s fury far surpassed their expectations.

And Black Rock City is merely a border town in Three Alliances Domain—what of the Wuji Sect headquarters?

"To all the departed souls here, I, Xiao Ye, Sect Leader of Wuji Sect, have implicated you due to my personal vendetta. May you rest in peace."

"Here and now, I, Xiao Ye, swear to annihilate the Iron Blood Emperor Domain within my lifetime, to honor your souls!"

Xiao Ye ignored Wu Ming’s words, drawing the Xiao Blade and cutting a line in his palm, the pale golden blood scattering in the air as he paid his respects toward Black Rock City.

"Wu Ming, your disciple is truly exceptional. I am envious..." Inside Sky Prison, the old monster Pei Jiang’s eyes flickered with brilliance as he remarked wistfully.

The Iron Blood Emperor Domain held a prominent position in Central State, enduring for millennia in an illustrious state. To dare aim to annihilate the Iron Blood Emperor Domain, who has such courage?

At the same time, no one doubted Xiao Ye’s words.

So young yet already among formidable figures, capable of rivaling the Seven Stars Title Emperor Martial—how terrifying could his future be?

If given enough time, Xiao Ye might well become the Human Clan’s fifth Great Emperor.

"Iron Blood Emperor Domain..."

Seemingly infected by Xiao Ye’s aura, those titled Emperor Martial and ordinary Emperor Realm Martial Artists who chose to join Wuji Sect had steely gazes.

"Ahead lies an array set by our Wuji Sect Array Master, enabling direct reach to the Wuji Sect headquarters, Sky Sword City, onward!"

Xiao Ye briefly mourned the warriors within Black Rock City and departed first.

At this moment, the central area of Three Alliances Domain, Sky Sword City, headquarters of the Wuji Sect, was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere.

Looking around, nearly all Wuji Sect high-rank members assembled within Sky Sword City, their expressions profoundly grave.

A month ago, two half-step Emperors from Iron Blood Emperor Domain descended upon Three Alliances Domain!

Though Wuji Sect boasts considerable power, counted among top-tier major sect forces, the gap to an Emperor Domain-level force is too vast.

Even the severely weakened Iron Blood Emperor Domain is insurmountable.

Moreover, this time two half-step Emperors were mobilized, unmatched among armies, each one fending off hundreds of thousands, effortlessly slaughtering many Wuji Sect Martial Artists, and crushing their way to the Wuji Sect headquarters, beneath Sky Sword City.

Finally, it was Heavenly Elder intervening that left those two half-step Emperors temporarily halted, stationed outside Sky Sword City.

Yet nearly daily, Iron Blood Emperor Domain Martial Artists descended, gathering outside, while not taking direct action, they often infiltrated with titled Emperor Martial, inflicting great casualties.

And Heavenly Elder was restrained by those two half-step Emperors, unable to act again.

After all, when half-step Emperor level combatants engage, it is a life-and-death struggle.

Wuji Sect’s headquarters, Sky Sword Sect, was besieged by two half-step Emperors from Iron Blood Emperor Domain, leaving all sect warriors trapped, unable to escape.

Even if Martial Artists from other cities of Three Alliances Domain arrived, it was futile—a death sentence.

Inside Sky Sword City, within Wuji Hall, all Wuji Sect high-rank members were seated.

"Ye Zi truly stirs trouble, capturing the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, no wonder the Iron Blood Emperor Domain is so desperately acting."

"Though, I must say, Ye Zi did well—I was long fed up with the Iron Blood Emperor’s son!"

Prince Donghuang laughed bitterly as he spoke.

Regarding the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s crazed actions, they’d naturally investigated, learning Xiao Ye had captured the Iron Blood Emperor’s son, shocked each of them.

"Now, the reason the half-step Emperors aren’t acting is likely to flush out the Sect Leader; otherwise, Sky Sword City would’ve fallen long ago. Though Heavenly Elder is mighty, he cannot withstand two half-step Emperors simultaneously."

"If only Taiyi Palace Master received word and could come, perhaps this crisis could be resolved." Nangong Xingyu furrowed his brow.

"It’s not that simple; who knows if Iron Blood Emperor Domain has only two half-step Emperors? Personally, I hope Xiao Ye doesn’t return, better to hide afar and come back stronger." Sword Emperor smiled bitterly, reluctantly.

Sword Emperor’s words weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

Boom!

Suddenly, terrifying energy surged skyward, cold murderous intent swept across, the Wuji Hall high-rank members’ faces changed drastically.

"Not good, the Iron Blood Emperor Domain’s people have launched another attack, targeting Wuji Mansion this time!"

"Damn it, are they trying to capture Ye Zi’s family?"

...

The Wuji Sect high-rank rushed out.

"The Iron Blood Emperor Domain is here again!"

"Protect the Sect Leader’s family!"

...

At this moment, Wuji Mansion was in chaos, warriors inside looked around in panic, as figures descended like Demon Gods from the sky.

"Xiao Fan, protect our parents."

Inside Wuji Mansion’s Inner House, Bing Ya’s hair danced, turning completely snow-white, as she spoke to Xiao Fan.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, while Brother isn’t here, I’ll protect our parents with my life!" Xiao Fan nodded, his expression firm.
