Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 169 - 167: A Good Dog Doesn’t Block the Way

The City Lord Mansion in Fierce Beast City spans a wide area. Xiao Ye and Tian Hu walked out of the room, guided by a servant, and made their way through the gravel paths of the mansion.

Xiao Ye glanced around and saw many martial artists exuding powerful auras, carrying weapons on their backs. Almost all of them had a cultivation level of at least the Sixth Layer of the Innate Realm.

Those daring enough to come to Fierce Beast City to help resist the ferocious beasts naturally wouldn’t have weak cultivation, or it would be akin to seeking death.

"Look, that’s Xie Fei, ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

At this moment, an exclamation arose from the crowd, and Xiao Ye turned his head to look.

He saw a young man with a fierce expression and disheveled black hair striding forward. Wherever he went, the crowd parted, all wearing expressions of reverence.

Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened, and from the murmurs around him, he learned of Xie Fei’s cultivation level.

"Late Stage of Innate Realm Ninth Layer, about to step into the Innate Extreme." Xiao Ye thought to himself, feeling a chill. No wonder he ranked high on the Hidden Dragon List as a young talent.

As Xiao Ye was marveling, the crowd stirred once more.

A youth wearing a gauze scarf, resembling a scholar, walked over, a gentle smile on his face, exuding an elegant demeanor that instantly charmed everyone who saw him.

"Even Long Yu from the royal family of the Black Dragon Country is here. His talent is outstanding among the royal descendants, ranking seventh on the Hidden Dragon List, and he too is about to step into the Innate Extreme."

Upon seeing this scholarly youth, the crowd erupted in an uproar, akin to an earthquake.

Xiao Ye was greatly astonished. This youth was a royal descendant, and the royal family of the Black Dragon Country was considered the most powerful force in the country, incomparable to the Chongyang Sect.

"Hmph, Long Yu, you’re here too!" Xie Fei halted, his eyes shooting out sharp rays, his long robe fluttering despite the lack of wind, his war intent soaring, creating an immense sense of oppression.

"Xie Fei, weren’t you beaten enough last time? If you don’t mind, I can let you make close contact with the ground once more." Long Yu’s smile remained gentle, but the aura around him was astonishing, facing off against Xie Fei from afar.

The crowd erupted in surprise once again, realizing that Xie Fei had suffered such a loss at Long Yu’s hands.

Mentioned publicly about his disgrace, Xie Fei’s body trembled with anger, his face darkening.

"Hmph, once my Innate True Qi is perfected and I step into the Innate Extreme, I will defeat you in public and wash away my shame!" Knowing he was still no match for Long Yu, Xie Fei suppressed his fury, walked forward with hatred, his expression even grimmer.

Seeing that Xie Fei was enraged, the crowd quickly stepped aside, fearing to suffer from his wrath.

"Brother Wang Lin, let’s move aside quickly."

Seeing Xie Fei walking towards them, Tian Hu was startled and quickly pulled Xiao Ye to move aside.

"The road is so wide, he walks his way, we walk ours, why should we move?" Xiao Ye remained completely still.

Tian Hu’s expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "He’s a young talent, we independent practitioners can’t afford to provoke him."

"A good dog doesn’t block the way, clear my path!" At this time, Xie Fei had already reached them, his eyes burning with the flames of anger.

Hearing those harsh words, Xiao Ye slightly frowned. Is this guy a mad dog? Suffering at Long Yu’s hands, now he’s trying to vent his anger on others.

"The road is so wide, and you still want others to make way for you. Are you blind and can’t see the road? If you admit you’re blind, then I’ll move aside." Xiao Ye said coldly.

Hiss!

The words caused everyone around to gasp.

"This guy looks ordinary but he’s quite bold, daring to speak to Xie Fei like that."

"This kid is in trouble, Xie Fei is furious right now."

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, a cold killing intent locked onto Xiao Ye.

"You’re courting death!" Xie Fei’s face twisted, his eyes fiercely cold.

Being humiliated at Long Yu’s hands was one thing, considering the opponent’s strength was evident, but now even an independent practitioner dared to confront him, igniting Xie Fei’s towering rage.

Boom!

Xie Fei raised his hand and struck, a terrifying force surging forward like a tide, overwhelming the space ahead.

"Hm, with this level of strength, you dare to make a move against me!" Xiao Ye sneered inwardly.

He had never been one to provoke troubles, but that didn’t mean he could be easily bullied.

As Xiao Ye prepared to take action, a figure swept in front of him, raising a hand to force Xie Fei back several steps with graceful actions—it was Long Yu.

"Xie Fei, you, as a young talent, actually make a move against an independent practitioner, you truly disgrace us." Long Yu said, looking at Xie Fei.

Hearing this, Xiao Ye secretly criticized in his heart, if it weren’t for your intervention, the one falling would definitely be Xie Fei.

"Hmph!"

Xie Fei stopped in embarrassment, his expression fluctuating, ultimately letting out a cold snort, flinging his sleeves as he left directly.

"Kid, you’re brave, I like that. But Xie Fei holds grudges, you should be careful." Long Yu glanced at Xiao Ye and smiled.

"Thanks for the reminder." Xiao Ye nodded.

"See you around." After speaking, Long Yu strode forward.

To Long Yu, Xiao Ye was merely an independent practitioner he happened to save, lacking the qualification for further interaction.

"Phew, that scared me to death. Luckily, Long Yu stepped in to save you; otherwise, you’d be doomed." Tian Hu said with lingering fear.

Xiao Ye couldn’t be bothered to explain, continuing forward along the gravel path.

"Brother Wang Lin, wait for me." Tian Hu quickly caught up.

A wave was silently resolved, and as the crowd discussed Long Yu and Xie Fei, they continued along the gravel path.

At the end of the gravel path was a spacious courtyard, already filled with people.

The most conspicuous in the crowd were certainly those twelve youths, each exuding an extraordinary aura, like twelve stars whose radiance was impossible to ignore.

"Twelve young talents!" Xiao Ye entered the courtyard, his gaze sharpening instantly, spotting both Long Yu and Xie Fei among them, though the silver-haired prodigy Jiang Yunfan was absent.

As he expected, this Hero Banquet had turned into a gathering of young talents.

The courtyard already had many tables and chairs arranged, with the twelve young talents seated at the front, completely ignoring the martial artists behind them.

"Brother Wang Lin, seeing twelve young talents at once, are you stunned?" Tian Hu chuckled beside him.

Xiao Ye looked speechless, then casually found a spot to sit, eating the fruit on the table.

"Brother Wang Lin truly doesn’t show emotion easily." Tian Hu sighed, sitting down.

For independent practitioners like them, seeing such powerful young talents should be quite exciting.

As time passed, more and more independent practitioners gathered in the courtyard, watching the twelve young talents and chatting excitedly. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Haha, Brother Wang, you’re here too. It seems you’re loyal, willing to risk your life to protect Fierce Beast City."

"To be honest, Brother Zhang, I just heard many young talents had come to Fierce Beast City, so I came to join the fun. With them here, there’s no need for me to take action."

"Hehe, me too." The two independent practitioners laughed heartily.

About an hour later, a silver-haired youth and an elder in a purple robe entered through the courtyard entrance, walking side by side, talking and laughing.

Silver-haired prodigy, Jiang Yunfan!

Wu’an County Master!

Upon seeing these two, the place suddenly fell silent, most eyes fixed on the silver-haired Jiang Yunfan.

The twelve young talents, including Long Yu, felt immense pressure facing Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan had perfected Innate True Qi, and like the Wu’an County Master, was a second-class Innate Extreme Martial Artist, making him outstanding among peers, which was why he was ranked fifth on the Hidden Dragon List.

"With Jiang Yunfan’s strength ranking fifth, I wonder how strong the top four young talents on the Hidden Dragon List are." Xiao Ye pondered silently.

Currently matching Jiang Yunfan’s strength, Xiao Ye was very wary of the top four talents on the list.

Jiang Yunfan found a seat at the front of the courtyard.

"Here, I thank everyone for coming to aid Fierce Beast City, and tonight we’ve specially arranged this banquet in your honor, hoping everyone enjoys themselves." The Wu’an County Master in purple robe said, cupping his hands at the front.

"County Master, you’re too kind. It’s an honor for us to defend Fierce Beast City alongside these young talents."

"Yes, County Master, I, Old Sen, swear to protect Fierce Beast City with my life, rest assured."

The martial artists shouted, their voices resonating powerfully.

"Haha, with thirteen young talents and all of you here, Fierce Beast City will surely stand firm." The Wu’an County Master laughed heartily, clapping his hands as servants brought out various delicacies.

None of the martial artists were reserved, immediately starting to eat and chat loudly, filling the banquet with a fiery atmosphere.

"Due to the need to resist the beast outbreak, no alcohol will be served, we hope everyone understands." The Wu’an County Master said from the main seat.

"County Master, without fine wine, this Hero Banquet won’t be satisfying enough." At this moment, a voice emerged from the young talents’ seats.

The Wu’an County Master frowned slightly and said, "What do you suggest?"

"I just happened to have been practicing a set of Fifth Grade Combat Techniques and have reached an intermediate level. How about I find a partner to spar with for everyone’s entertainment?" A fierce-looking young man with disheveled black hair stood up.

This person was Xie Fei!

Hearing this, the independent practitioners who were eating immediately burst out, "Good!"

They were primarily here to see these young talents, so naturally, they would be eager to see them in action.

"That sounds great. Who among the young talents do you plan to choose as your opponent?" The Wu’an County Master asked with a smile.

"County Master, if I spar with a young talent, I fear if things get out of control, the City Lord Mansion might not withstand it, right?" A glint of grim fervor flashed in Xie Fei’s eyes.

The Wu’an County Master nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the energy from young talents sparring was too strong, and each was an unruly individual. If they got into a heated battle, they might destroy the mansion.

"So, I plan to choose someone from the independent practitioners to be my sparring partner." Xie Fei said, leaving his seat, walking through the crowd, finally stopping in front of Xiao Ye.

"How about him." Xie Fei pointed at Xiao Ye, speaking very casually.
