Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 171 - 169 Ferocious Beast Rampage

"Good!"

Xiao Ye did not refuse. After greeting Tian Hu, he followed the Wu’an County Master to the front and sat down with the young talents.

The commotion came to an end, with Xiao Ye stepping over Xie Fei to rise successfully, causing quite a stir. It wouldn’t be long before he became famous in the Black Dragon Country.

The Wu’an County Master set up another banquet, and the atmosphere in the field heated up even more, with many independent practitioners discussing Xiao Ye.

Witnessing the rise of a young prodigy was indeed a glorious event.

"Alas, another powerful young prodigy has appeared," people marveled.

With the Heavenly Pride Battle approaching, young unknowns frequently emerged in the Ten Counties of the Black Dragon Country, making dramatic debuts on the Hidden Dragon List, so they considered Xiao Ye to be one of them.

Soon, people began probing into Xiao Ye’s name and origins, given that he was a young prodigy with a strength ranking in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

"Brother, it seems you are quite familiar with the prodigy?" said a man with a strong physique and a fierce tiger tattooed on his bare upper body as he approached Tian Hu with a cheerful expression.

Tian Hu looked at the man and immediately shivered, stammering, "Ba... Ba Mountain Tiger?"

No wonder Tian Hu reacted that way. The man before him was an independent practitioner, and few knew his actual name, but his alias, Ba Mountain Tiger, was quite famous.

It was known that only very strong independent practitioners could earn a title, which was an honor akin to making it onto the Hidden Dragon List, like the Black Heart Elder.

Rumor had it that Ba Mountain Tiger was proud and usually paid little attention to other independent practitioners.

"Yes, I train alongside Brother Wang Lin," Tian Hu quickly stood up and nodded.

"Oh?" Ba Mountain Tiger’s smile grew even wider as he started chatting with Tian Hu.

"Brother, I’m Cold Face..."

"Brother, I am Overlord Spear..."

Several other titled independent practitioners came over, their faces full of smiles. At this moment, Tian Hu became the focus of the independent practitioners.

Tian Hu was dumbfounded, his face flushed. "I, Tian Hu... actually have a day when these people would proactively want to make friends with me?"

...

Xiao Ye had just sat down when the young talents around him smiled, treating him as an equal.

As for the silver-haired prodigy Jiang Yunfan, he didn’t spare Xiao Ye a glance, evidently considering Xiao Ye no match for him.

"I am Liang Wenfeng from Dashen County. May I ask which sect Brother Wang Lin hails from? Surely a talent like Brother Wang Lin must come from one of the Black Dragon Country’s Five Great Forces?" a young prodigy asked with a smile.

Xiao Ye understood that the Black Dragon Country’s Five Great Forces naturally included the Chongyang Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect.

"Indeed, Brother Wang Lin, you are in the Innate Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage, and you already possess a third-class Innate Limit strength. Once your Innate True Qi is perfect, you will surely be on par with the silver-haired prodigy Jiang Yunfan."

One prodigy after another engaged Xiao Ye in conversation, subtly probing into his background.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly, "You all think too much. I’m merely an independent practitioner, with no sect or affiliation."

The smiles on the faces of the young talents stiffened. They inwardly mocked him, not believing Xiao Ye’s words.

If an independent practitioner possessed such terrifying strength, then what about those of them who were cultivated with great resources by their respective sects? Shouldn’t they just go slam their heads against a wall?

"Brother Wang, I seem to have misunderstood before," Long Yu approached with a bitter smile.

At that moment, he already regarded Xiao Ye as an opponent of equal grade, and the faint arrogance that used to be evident on him vanished.

"Brother Long, you give me too much credit. You acted in a moment of crisis, which shows your benevolence," Xiao Ye clasped his hands politely.

No matter what, Long Yu had saved him with good intentions.

Hearing this, Long Yu’s goodwill towards Xiao Ye surged, "Haha, Brother Wang, when you go to the Imperial City to participate in the Heavenly Pride Battle, I will certainly host you well."

"Good!" Xiao Ye nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Xie Fei, whose face was swollen high with blood flowing, was helped up by someone. After casting a venomous look at Xiao Ye, he left.

Having suffered such a huge setback, he no longer had the face to stay.

As they had eaten almost enough, the group left one after another. The Wu’an County Master had the fourteen young talents stay behind.

Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, realizing that the Wu’an County Master intended to tell them something.

"You are all young talents, so I won’t mince words. This time, the ferocious beast uprising is different from before; otherwise, I wouldn’t have widely issued orders," the Wu’an County Master said with a serious expression.

"County Master, could it be that there are Mystic Martial Realm ferocious beasts appearing?" a young prodigy asked.

Xiao Ye’s heart tightened. If there were Mystic Martial Realm ferocious beasts, they all would only be slaughtered.

"No, if so, Fierce Beast City would have been destroyed long ago," the Wu’an County Master smiled bitterly, "However, there are ten ferocious beasts of second-class Innate Limit, and dozens of Innate Realm Ninth Layer beasts. I didn’t tell the independent practitioners this to avoid causing panic."

The young talents’ faces changed drastically upon hearing this, such an array was terrifying, even causing them to feel their scalps tingle.

"Brother Zong, rest assured. With me here, Fierce Beast City will be safe," Jiang Yunfan said casually.

Among the young talents present, only he dared to address the Wu’an County Master as an equal.

"Brother Jiang, don’t underestimate them. Among those ten ferocious beasts of second-class Innate Limit, two have strength no less than yours or mine, not to mention the beast army," the Wu’an County Master said.

Jiang Yunfan’s expression changed slightly, and he said no more, the atmosphere becoming solemn.

"Rest assured, everyone; if you feel any danger, you may leave at any time, and I won’t force you to stay. I will report to the King then," the Wu’an County Master assured upon seeing the crowd’s expressions.

King!

Hearing these two words, a wave of longing appeared in the eyes of all the young talents.

The current King was a strong Mystic Martial Realm practitioner, unquestionably the first strongman of the Black Dragon Country.

"Alright, I have told you what you need to know, now go back to rest. We don’t know when the ferocious beast turmoil will happen next," the Wu’an County Master said.

The young talents nodded upon hearing this and then left one after another, leaving only Jiang Yunfan behind.

"Brother Zong, you haven’t told us everything, have you?" Jiang Yunfan asked with a faint gleam in his eyes.

The Wu’an County Master smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"In past ferocious beast uprisings, they lasted at most a few days, but this time, it has lasted for a month. I always felt that those beasts had a special purpose in attacking Fierce Beast City."

"A special purpose?" Jiang Yunfan looked surprised. Ferocious beasts were different from humans; their spiritual wisdom was limited. How could they have a special purpose?

...

Xiao Ye returned to his room; it was almost midnight. He took out the two bundles and placed them by his side.

"Ferocious beast uprising..." Xiao Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes flickering, "I feel that this ferocious beast uprising is unusual. The Wu’an County Master must be hiding something."

"It doesn’t matter, once the beast uprising is over, and I get the ferocious beast blood of Innate Limit, I’ll leave here," Xiao Ye thought, lying down to rest.

Early the next morning, a servant delivered sumptuous food to Xiao Ye.

After eating, Xiao Ye didn’t leave his room but took out primordial stones and began cultivating.

Roar!

Suddenly, a series of loud roars blasted like heavenly thunder in the heavens, making ears ache.

Rumble!

The ground began to shake, the entire Fierce Beast City trembled, enveloped by a rampant aura.

Ferocious beast uprising!

Xiao Ye opened his eyes, shooting two sharp gleams, and quickly walked out of the room.

"The ferocious beast uprising has begun, everyone follow me to defend Fierce Beast City!" The Wu’an County Master, clad in armor and holding a longsword, leaped onto the rooftop, his commanding voice echoing through the City Lord Mansion.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

One by one, martial artists came out of their rooms, nodding with serious expressions, wielding weapons, and following the Wu’an County Master as he left the City Lord Mansion towards the back of Fierce Beast City.

Xiao Ye carried the Flame Saber and rushed up with them.

By now, Fierce Beast City was already in chaos, and even children were frightened to tears, with weaker martial artists turning pale with fear.

"Big brother, can you help me kill more ferocious beasts? My father was bitten to death by those vile beasts," a child suddenly grabbed onto Xiao Ye, tears streaming down his rosy cheeks.

Xiao Ye was silent at this; he glanced around and saw the looks of hope in the eyes of the city residents as they looked at him.

"Guardian Lord, may you return safely," a gray-haired elder walked out tremblingly, bowing to Xiao Ye in salute.

Guardian!

Xiao Ye’s body trembled, feeling an immense pressure in his heart.

Should Fierce Beast City fall, these innocent people would meet disastrous ends.

"Rest assured, everyone, I will do my utmost!" Xiao Ye vowed solemnly, patting the child’s head, and then turned and rushed out.

Soon, Xiao Ye reached the city wall of Fierce Beast City.

Hiss!

The martial artists gasped as they saw the scene before them.

Not far away, a large patch of black shadows stretched endlessly, with dust billowing behind them, and several flying ferocious beasts swooping towards Fierce Beast City, exuding a vicious and bloodthirsty aura.

They were huge, snarling ferocious beasts, surging toward Fierce Beast City like a torrent.

"How terrifying," Xiao Ye murmured, witnessing such a dreadful beast upheaval, and developed a deep admiration for the Human Race’s Four Emperors.

If it weren’t for the appearance of the Four Great Emperors in the history of the True Spirit Continent, humanity would have long been extinct.

Boom!

The Wu’an County Master unleashed a terrifying aura, walking through the air, slaying the beasts in the sky with one sword, causing beast blood to scatter down like rain.

"Brother Jiang, those two are second-class Innate Limit ferocious beasts. You and I will each take one, and the others will help resist the beast army!" The Wu’an County Master shouted and then charged toward a huge ferocious beast.

Boom!

Jiang Yunfan followed closely, his silver hair dancing, as he charged towards another ferocious beast like a blazing sun, radiating dazzling brilliance.
