Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 1518 - 1501: Cang Clan Descendant
After Xiao Ye’s name spread across the world, apart from the Array Masters that Wuji Sect had, it attracted many Array Masters from across the world to join Wuji Sect.
These Array Masters were exhaustively planning, setting up Teleportation Arrays in the Three Alliances Domain that lead to many parts of the Central Province’s Eighteen Domains, making travel extremely convenient.
The Central Province’s Eighteen Domains have vast territories, and with the Teleportation Arrays, Xiao Ye and Bing Ya took merely five days to return to the Three Alliances Domain.
The enormous wall outline of Sky Sword City was already visible from afar.
After post-war rebuilding, the current Sky Sword City is even more majestic and magnificent than before, like a sky-reaching giant city, standing firm between heaven and earth. It is filled with strong individuals and is veritably a Martial Arts Holy Land, drawing many young geniuses who aspire to join Wuji Sect to emulate Xiao Ye every day.
"Greetings to the Sect Leader!"
"The Sect Leader is back!"
...
The Wuji Sect martial artists patrolling the city walls of Sky Sword City became elated and cheered upon sighting Xiao Ye and Bing Ya, and they respectfully saluted them.
Now, Xiao Ye is genuinely the spiritual leader within Wuji Sect.
Moreover, during this venture, Xiao Ye went out alone and subjugated a top power in Central Province, the Ice and Snow Palace, making it a subsidiary of Wuji Sect, which garnered the admiration of Wuji Sect martial artists even more.
"Sect Leader!"
"Ye Zi!"
...
Wu Ming, Pei Jiang, Prince Donghuang, and other high-ranking members of Wuji Sect quickly came out to welcome upon hearing the news.
"Where is Nangong Xingyu?"
Without skipping a beat to reminisce with everyone, Xiao Ye immediately inquired.
"That kid Nangong Xingyu is acting weird this time, says he has something urgent for you. We asked for a long time but he wouldn’t disclose anything, insisting on waiting for you to return."
"I’ve arranged him in Wuji Mansion now," Prince Donghuang promptly replied, slightly displeased.
Swish!
As Prince Donghuang’s words fell, Xiao Ye’s figure flickered and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone slightly stunned.
"Xiao Ye, you’ve finally returned!"
As he approached Wuji Mansion, Nangong Xingyu, dressed in an elegant robe, came forward.
"Brother Nangong, what on earth is the matter?"
Scanning with his gaze, Xiao Ye noticed Nangong Xingyu appeared much haggard, with no martial artists from Iron Blood Emperor Domain by his side, thus he furrowed his brows slightly.
"Follow me, I’ll tell you in detail." Nangong Xingyu wasted no words, leading Xiao Ye to a secret chamber in Wuji Mansion.
"Xiao Ye, do you still remember the new generation Iron Blood Emperor’s son?"
Before Xiao Ye could question further, Nangong Xingyu asked gravely.
"I remember." Xiao Ye nodded.
"I’m convinced he’s the contingency left by the previous Iron Blood Domain Master before he died to deal with you."
"Because the new generation Iron Blood Emperor’s son is a descendant of our once-powerful family from Iron Blood Emperor Domain, the Cang Clan."
Nangong Xingyu explained.
"Cang Clan?" Xiao Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
"This is what I brought from the Iron Blood Emperor Domain; see for yourself." Nangong Xingyu retrieved a roll of beast skin from a space ring and handed it to Xiao Ye.
Following Nangong Xingyu’s words, Xiao Ye found the introduction to the Cang Clan within the roll of beast skin.
After the time it takes incense to burn—
"When Purple Blood appears, Ghost God exterminates..."
"The patriarch of the Cang Clan once controlled Iron Blood Emperor Domain, even ruled over all and swept invincibly as an alternate emperor, considered a Quasi Emperor?"
"Your Iron Blood Emperor Domain actually has such a family?"
Xiao Ye gasped.
The content recorded on this beast skin was truly astounding.
The Cang Clan, this race, is simply heaven’s favored, born with Purple Blood, cultivates at a rapid pace, and even had terrifying powerhouses like their patriarch, considered a Quasi Emperor.
Such a powerhouse is likely much stronger than a Half-step Emperor; without the presence of a Great Emperor, no one can deal with them.
He finally understood why the energy avatar of the Iron Blood Emperor sighed, saying after thousands of years of development, the Four Great Emperor Domains even surpassed the imagination of the Human Race Four Emperors.
"Could the patriarch of the Cang Clan still be alive?" Xiao Ye felt his heart tremble, even his scalp tingled.
The other party, being considered a Quasi Emperor level powerhouse, surely has longevity surpassing a Half-step Emperor.
The former Iron Blood Domain Master, having such a plan, definitely intends to leverage the power of the Cang Clan to deal with Xiao Ye.
"The patriarch of the Cang Clan vanished while seeking a breakthrough, whether he has fallen remains unknown."
"I’ve consulted many old relics in the Emperor Domain, confirmed that the Cang Clan still exists in the world, and the new generation Iron Blood Emperor’s son is a scion of the patriarchal line, secretly adopted by the Emperor Domain."
"That’s why I came specifically to remind you," Nangong Xingyu spoke word by word.
"The new generation Iron Blood Emperor’s son is not only a descendant of the Cang Clan but also scion from the patriarchal line!"
Listening to Nangong Xingyu’s narrative, Xiao Ye fell silent.
From Nangong Xingyu’s words and snippets from the ancient scroll, he could feel the terror of the Cang Clan.
And the new generation Iron Blood Emperor’s son could be seen as driven to death by them. If the Cang Clan acts, they’ll undoubtedly target Xiao Ye and Wuji Sect.
"We can only respond with soldiers to block, and water to contain," Xiao Ye took a deep breath and spoke.
The Cang Clan is indeed frightening.
Yet, Wuji Sect is not easy to bully either.
As long as the Cang Clan’s patriarch considered a Quasi Emperor has fallen, Wuji Sect has no fear of other members of the Cang Clan.
If worst comes to worst, he’ll ask his senior brothers from the sect to directly flatten the Cang Clan, leaving no hidden dangers.
"Xiao Ye... Sigh!"
Seeing Xiao Ye’s demeanor, Nangong Xingyu forced a bitter smile.
During this time, within Iron Blood Emperor Domain, he had collected many secrets about the Cang Clan, profoundly understanding their terrifying nature.
To avoid causing panic within Wuji Sect, he insisted on waiting for Xiao Ye to return.
What he hadn’t anticipated was Xiao Ye’s composure.
After his confidential conversation with Xiao Ye ended, Nangong Xingyu formed an alliance with Wuji Sect under the identity of the new Iron Blood Domain Master.
After the ceremony concluded, he promptly left.
As the new Iron Blood Domain Master and having just taken over Iron Blood Emperor Domain, naturally, he has many matters to attend to.
While hurrying back to Iron Blood Emperor Domain, he also needed to assist Xiao Ye in continuing to gather information about the Cang Clan.
Meanwhile, having learned from Nangong Xingyu about the existence of the Cang Clan, Xiao Ye did not venture out again but stayed within Wuji Sect, accompanying his family, calmly cultivating while also beginning his preparations for going to the sect afterward.
Regarding the presence of the Cang Clan, Xiao Ye only informed Bing Ya.
"Originally thought the threat to Wuji Sect was just Ultimate Palace, now there’s another, the Cang Clan..."
"Chou Duantian, I’ll show you that this is no longer the era of domination by your Ultimate Palace..."
High above Sky Sword City, Xiao Ye stood suspended, black hair chaotically flying, hands behind his back, deep eyes sharp without equal, gazing into the depths of the Heavenly Dome.
