Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 69 - 067 Who’s the Grandson
69: Chapter 067 Who’s the Grandson?
69 -067 Who’s the Grandson?
“Hmph, the venerable Silver Robed Elder setting a trap for me in the public eye and then completely blocking my retreat, forcing me to submit,” Xiao Ye’s wrath surged in his heart.
Gu Chudong, as the Elder in charge of Outer Sect missions, indeed finds it quite easy to tamper with these.
Xiao Ye’s gaze was cold as he turned towards Wang Tianxiang beside him.
At a glance, this person apparently belonged to Gu Chudong’s group; that fake smile on his face was incredibly repulsive to Xiao Ye.
Seeing the look in Xiao Ye’s eyes, the smile on Wang Tianxiang’s face gradually faded as potent True Qi began to swell from within him.
“Junior Brother, I advise you to obediently go on the mission with me.
Defying Elder Gu’s wishes won’t bring you any good,” said Wang Tianxiang with a forced smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
Clearly, he thought Xiao Ye planned to resist, so he deliberately showed off his strength, his tone full of threat.
“Early-stage Innate Realm Third Level?”
Xiao Ye’s expression became peculiar, quieting down.
After cultivating in the Chongyang Secret Realm, his cultivation soared to the Late Stage of the Innate Realm Second Level, and his physical strength greatly increased.
Combining the two, defeating Wang Tianxiang before him would be easy.
“Gu Chudong probably wants to use this person to strike at me during the mission.”
“Why don’t I just bear with it for a while, follow along and see.
This task has a high score of eight thousand points.
If I can complete it, I can quickly accumulate ten thousand points,” Xiao Ye’s gaze flickered.
Other people certainly couldn’t imagine that in just two days, Xiao Ye’s cultivation could soar to this extent.
Looking at all the Outer Disciples, he would rank among the top.
If Wang Tianxiang isn’t afraid of the mission’s dangers, then what is there for him to fear?
“Fine then, I really should thank ‘Lord Elder’ for this,” Xiao Ye spoke coldly to Gu Chudong, deliberately emphasizing the words “Lord Elder” heavily, filled with sarcasm.
Gu Chudong’s breath hitched; under the public eye, setting a trap for a newcomer indeed was shameful.
However, compared to the grudge between Xiao Ye and the Ancient Family, it hardly mattered.
“Hehe, you know what’s good for you.
Come on, follow me,” Wang Tianxiang chuckled sinfully, then cast a meaningful look at Gu Chudong before taking Xiao Ye away from the Task Great Hall.
Pity filled the eyes of the Registered Disciples in the hall.
By now, everyone could see that Xiao Ye had definitely offended Gu Chudong, and thus Wang Tianxiang chose to take Xiao Ye with him on this mission – this was a complete conspiracy.
“I know about Xiao Ye.
It’s said he’s a useless body type but has trained in physical combat techniques.
Half a month ago, he went to the Puppet Tower and defeated four puppets on the second layer.
His strength is quite formidable.”
“What does it matter how strong he is?
Wang Tianxiang has already passed the second layer of the Puppet Tower long ago.
They are nowhere near the same level in terms of strength.”
“Alas, Xiao Ye offended Gu Chudong, and Wang Tianxiang is the number one flatterer; who knows how he will torment Xiao Ye.”
The Outer Sect Disciples whispered among themselves in the Great Hall.
Although they disdained Gu Chudong’s personal vendetta masquerading as official business, they didn’t dare to voice it, only quietly griping to themselves.
…
After leaving the Task Great Hall, Wang Tianxiang applied to the Sect for two swift horses, and he and Xiao Ye, one in front and one behind, left the mountain range where the Chongyang Sect was located.
Although these horses were not as fast as the flying Xuan Artifact Giant Ships, they were swift and specially prepared for the disciples’ travels.
At first, Wang Tianxiang still wore a friendly facade, but after leaving the Chongyang Mountain range, he turned cold and sarcastic towards Xiao Ye.
“Junior Brother, I heard that among the newbies, Bai Meng challenged you, and you didn’t respond.
It must be because you’re not confident, right?”
“That Bai Meng, his talents rank highly even among the Inner Sect Disciples.
It’s not impossible for him to become a Direct Disciple in the future.
You’re right not to respond, better than shaming yourself.”
Xiao Ye pretended not to hear, ignoring Wang Tianxiang.
Half a day later, the two arrived at a forest hundreds of miles away from the Chongyang Sect to rest.
“Tired from the road, Junior Brother, come give your Senior Brother here a foot massage,” Wang Tianxiang demanded, plopping down on a rock, taking off his shoes, and stretching his feet towards Xiao Ye with malicious intent on his face.
Want me to massage your feet?
A chill ran through Xiao Ye’s eyes.
This Wang Tianxiang was initially cold and sarcastic and now even more excessive – did he really see him as a pushover?
Seeing Xiao Ye motionless, Wang Tianxiang snickered and said, “Junior Brother, probably you don’t quite understand the Sect’s rules.
Let your Senior Brother enlighten you.”
“The Sect rules stipulate that Outer Disciples must not fight at will unless both parties agree.
This is to protect those weaker Outer Disciples, but…”
Here, Wang Tianxiang paused, a smug look on his face, “This rule only applies within the Sect boundaries.
Once outside, who would care?
If you don’t comply, Senior Brother might unfortunately have to teach you a lesson.
If I accidentally hit too hard and kill you, that would be quite unfortunate.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye suddenly realized.
No wonder Wang Tianxiang was so confident – he had thought that with the Sect’s rules, the other party wouldn’t easily strike against him.
In that case, he would have no hesitation.
A cold smile crept into Xiao Ye’s heart, but on the outside, he maintained a calm demeanor as he approached Wang Tianxiang.
“So obedient now, if you’re not strong enough then don’t act big, act like the grandson you ought to be,” Wang Tianxiang laughed heartily, extending his leg casually towards Xiao Ye.
“Good, Senior Brother, your Junior Brother will massage your feet now,” Xiao Ye said as he swiftly reached out and twisted Wang Tianxiang’s foot.
Crack!
Ahh!
The sound of a dislocated bone and a pig-like scream echoed through the woods.
“Ah, Senior Brother, so sorry, it’s my first time serving a bigshot, don’t have much experience, didn’t control my strength well,” Xiao Ye apologized with a contrite demeanor.
“Aiyo, you’re killing me, hurry up and realign my dislocated bone!” Wang Tianxiang hadn’t finished his sentence before screaming again, because without his prompt, Xiao Ye was already on it.
Ah!
Wang Tianxiang screamed in agony, his face pale as paper, his entire body soaked in cold sweat.
“Damn you, bastard, dare to mess with me!” Wang Tianxiang glared with fiery eyes, wishing he could devour Xiao Ye alive.
Even a fool like him could see, Xiao Ye wasn’t just giving him a foot rub – this was a trap.
“Mr.
Xiao?
Aren’t you supposed to be Mr.
Xiao?” Xiao Ye said teasingly, causing Wang Tianxiang’s expression to stiffen as he realized his slip of the tongue, growing even more enraged.
“You’re forcing me to teach you a lesson!” Wang Tianxiang’s True Qi surged throughout his body as he smashed a punch toward Xiao Ye.
“Teach me a lesson?
Do you have the strength to do that?”
Xiao Ye sneered coldly, a Giant Cauldron appearing above his head, while the True Qi in his Dantian circulated throughout his body.
Merging the power of his physical body with Innate True Qi, he countered Wang Tianxiang’s fist with his own.
Ah!
Wang Tianxiang screamed again, sent flying like a broken sack, crashing to the ground ten steps away, coughing up blood, his head ringing.
“Impossible!
Aren’t you supposed to be a waste? freёwebnoѵel.com
How can you be so strong?”
The shock in his heart was stronger than the severe pain in his body.
Xiao Ye’s punch just now definitely reached the power of the Innate Realm Third Level, much stronger than when he had stormed the Puppet Tower half a month ago.
Looking across the entire Outer Sect, there were not many who could compare to Xiao Ye.
Even more so, Xiao Ye had cultivated his Innate True Qi to the Late Stage of the Innate Realm Second Level, completely taking Wang Tianxiang by surprise.
Is this really the Xiao Ye who was considered a waste?
Even Bai Meng can’t match up to such cultivation speed.
“Senior brother, do you need this junior brother to rub your shoulders or anything?” Xiao Ye’s mouth curled with a hint of mockery.
“No, no need!” Wang Tianxiang hastily shook his head.
He was joking; he did not want to suffer any more pain.
“You are Mr.
Xiao, I’m the grandson; it’s only natural for a grandson to massage his elder’s shoulders.” Xiao Ye stepped towards Wang Tianxiang.
“No, stop, I was wrong, junior brother.
I’m the grandson, you are Mr.
Xiao, please don’t come any closer!” Wang Tianxiang said in fear.
But by then, Xiao Ye had already reached out and twisted Wang Tianxiang’s right arm.
Crack!
Ah!
Wang Tianxiang screamed repeatedly, sharp pain spreading throughout his body.
“Xiao…
Xiao Ye!
You struck a fellow Sect member; once I return, I will definitely report to the Sect, and you just wait for your punishment!” Wang Tianxiang said angrily.
Hearing this, Xiao Ye snorted coldly: “Senior brother, you seem to have a short memory; the Sect’s rules don’t apply outside the Sect.”
Wang Tianxiang wept bitterly, wishing he could slap himself.
Why did he bother telling Xiao Ye all of this?
If Xiao Ye didn’t know, he would definitely have considered the Sect’s rules and not have dared to strike him.
Ah!
Ah!
In the woods, more screams echoed continuously.
“Alright, tell me what the mission is this time.” Xiao Ye sat on a stone, looking indifferently at Wang Tianxiang.
A few moments of action had completely subdued Wang Tianxiang.
As for killing Wang Tianxiang, Xiao Ye couldn’t do it.
After all, the other party was his Sect mate, and they didn’t have much hatred between them; he hadn’t become that heartless.
“Yes, yes, Mr.
Xiao.” Wang Tianxiang had already adjusted his dislocated bones, nodding and bowing as he approached Xiao Ye.
But his address made Xiao Ye speechless; this man was really a sycophant, his opportunism was better than anyone else’s.
“In the last few months, a Ferocious Beast has appeared in the wild mountains fifty miles away from here.
It’s very powerful, and many nearby villages have been harmed.”
“Because that mountain is close to the Chongyang Sect, those villagers jointly petitioned the Sect, hoping to send Disciples to kill that Ferocious Beast.
As long as you can kill the beast and take its body parts as proof, the mission is considered complete.” Wang Tianxiang said.
“Oh?
What level is that Ferocious Beast?” Xiao Ye frowned.
From the Ancient Scroll he got from the Blood Wolf Gang, it mentioned the ferocious beasts of the True Spirit Continent as being extremely fierce, with strength comparable to Martial Arts Experts, paralleling the levels of human Martial Artists.
In the ten thousand years of history of the True Spirit Continent, there had been several instances of Emperor Level Ferocious Beasts causing bloodshed, causing billions of deaths and leaving all Martial Artists helpless.
Fortunately, heaven is fair, and it gave the Human Clan four Great Emperors who slaughtered those Emperor Level Ferocious Beasts, saving the entire continent.
However, these events have gradually been buried in the long river of history, and if Xiao Ye hadn’t accidentally acquired that Ancient Scroll, he wouldn’t have known any of this.
“It’s said to be an Innate Level Ferocious Beast, but I don’t know its exact strength.” Wang Tianxiang said, lowering his head.
Xiao Ye nodded thoughtfully.
He did not notice the vicious look that flashed across Wang Tianxiang’s face.
(Second update here.

This afternoon, due to some reasons, the update was delayed.
Sorry about that.)
