Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 225 - 223: Traces of He Mo

Hearing Tie Wuwang’s words, Xiao Ye’s gaze flashed with sharp light as he looked at the other party: "Speak!"

Tie Wuwang was taken aback by Xiao Ye’s reaction and hurriedly said, "Supreme Xiao Ye, two months ago, I passed by the Desolate Forest in Yuanfeng County and saw He Mo lurking there."

"Desolate Forest?" Upon hearing this name, Xiao Ye frowned slightly. Could it be that He Mo is really hiding in Yuanfeng County?

"Desolate Forest is a place where Ferocious Beasts gather, and it’s sparsely populated, thus earning its name. Supreme Xiao Ye, as long as you inquire, you’ll know the location of the Desolate Forest," Tie Wuwang explained.

Xiao Ye coldly stared at Tie Wuwang upon hearing this.

Although Tie Wuwang is a Xuanwu Realm powerhouse, even if he lost his footing in Yuanfeng County, establishing himself in the Black Dragon Country should be quite easy. Why would he resort to using He Mo’s whereabouts to seek allegiance?

Thus, the authenticity of this information was somewhat lacking.

Tie Wuwang, noticing Xiao Ye’s distrust, smiled wryly and said, "Supreme Xiao Ye, don’t misunderstand. I am indeed sincerely seeking allegiance with you."

"I am over fifty years old and have only recently reached the Xuanwu Realm. My achievements in this life are limited, and I might stall at this point. But you, Supreme Xiao Ye, are different. You reached the Xuanwu Realm at twenty years old, and ascending to Near Void Martial or even King Martial realms is not out of the question."

"Following a Supreme Genius like you might offer me opportunities to break through once more."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but smile. So, this guy had such intentions. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

However, one must admit, of the leaders of the four factions, although Tie Wuwang isn’t the strongest, he is indeed the most courageous, daring to leverage the entire Iron Clothes Sect for his future.

Moreover, the weaker following the stronger is common on this land.

"Alright, I will tentatively believe you. If you sincerely pledge allegiance to me, you will surely rejoice over today’s decision in the future." Xiao Ye, hands behind his back, eyes shining brightly, exuded an aura of dominance.

With the Time Tower in hand and granted the qualification for the Fusion Emperor Road, ascending to the Martial Arts Absolute Peak of the True Spirit Continent was only a matter of time, thus he had the confidence.

"But if you dare deceive me, I also have the means to make you deeply regret today’s deception," Xiao Ye said in a chilling tone.

Upon meeting Xiao Ye’s gaze, Tie Wuwang shivered all over. The young man before him was terrifying; any fleeting thoughts of betrayal vanished immediately.

Tie Wuwang hurriedly bowed his head, "Yes, from now on, I, Tie Wuwang, and even the Iron Clothes Sect, will perform our duties without overreaching at all."

"Very good!" Xiao Ye nodded, "Bring your subordinates to the City Lord Mansion of the county and find me there."

The distance from here to the county is still five hundred li, and he had already delayed several hours here, so the Xiao Alliance members should be arriving soon too.

After speaking, Xiao Ye soared to the sky, flying towards the front.

"Iron Clothes Sect, hear my order, proceed to the county. Henceforth, I can openly inhabit the county!" Tie Wuwang waved his hand and said loudly.

He was in a great mood gaining temporary approval from Xiao Ye.

Since ancient times, the counties of the Black Dragon Country had been under official control, and forces like theirs hardly dared to approach that area.

There was no dissatisfaction among the disciples of the Iron Clothes Sect regarding Tie Wuwang seeking allegiance with Xiao Ye; after all, they had already witnessed Xiao Ye’s power firsthand and were long convinced.

...

In just a meal’s time, Xiao Ye flew to the county of Yuanfeng County, landing in the empty County Master Manor.

The former Commandery Princess had been recalled by the King long ago, so the manor now belonged to the Xiao Alliance.

"From now on, this is where the Xiao Alliance will stand firm!" Xiao Ye surveyed the County Master Manor, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

His past promises to the Xiao Alliance members were now being realized step by step.

"I must make the Xiao Alliance the strongest force in the Yulan Domain!" Xiao Ye asserted with unwavering determination.

Rumble!

About four hours later, four flying giant ships broke through the clouds, arriving above the County Master Manor and then landing on the open space in front of the mansion.

"Ye’er!"

From one giant ship, three village chiefs and Xiao Yang jumped down. Seeing Xiao Ye safe and sound, they finally relaxed.

"Ye’er, did you really settle all those forces in Yuanfeng County?" Xiao Yang couldn’t help but ask.

Swish!

With those words, everyone stared intently at Xiao Ye.

They had only arrived at the County Master Manor a few hours later than Xiao Ye, and they found it hard to believe that Xiao Ye could deal with those forces in such a short time.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly, about to answer, when suddenly a large troop approached majestically, led by someone emitting a strong aura with burning eyes.

No doubt, Tie Wuwang was leading the Iron Clothes Sect disciples here. Although he could fly through the sky, he couldn’t leave his subordinates behind.

The Iron Clothes Sect numbered over a thousand, with half reaching the Innate Realm, and the remaining half consisting of skilled Postnatal experts. Gathered together, they naturally exuded an overwhelming presence.

Hiss!

Feeling that overwhelming presence, the members of the Xiao Alliance gasped, their gazes lingering on Tie Wuwang.

"Xuanwu Realm powerhouse!" The three village chiefs looked solemn.

"These people must be from the forces in Yuanfeng County. Looking at them, it seems they are here to cause trouble."

"Members of the Xiao Alliance, hear my orders. Prepare for a full battle. We’ve come to take over Yuanfeng County; we can’t be looked down upon!" Wu Shi, with his fiery personality, shouted first.

"Grandpa Wu, no need to be tense!" Xiao Ye said, then walked out under the puzzled eyes of the crowd.

"Stop!"

Tie Wuwang raised a hand, and the Iron Clothes Sect disciples immediately halted in perfect discipline.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!" Tie Wuwang greeted respectfully.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

...

Unlike Tie Wuwang, the Iron Clothes Sect disciples kneeled on one knee, their voices unified.

In their hearts, Xiao Ye was the Alliance Leader of the Xiao Alliance.

"Alliance Leader?"

The members of the Xiao Alliance were all taken aback by this scene, standing there frozen for quite a while.

After Xiao Ye arranged for the Iron Clothes Sect, he explained everything to the members of the Xiao Alliance, causing the three village chiefs to chuckle helplessly while being greatly impressed.

Xiao Ye not only settled the four forces of Yuanfeng County in such a short time but also made one of them submit, becoming a subordinate force of the Xiao Alliance.

"Haha, with the Iron Clothes Sect’s assistance, controlling Yuanfeng County will be even easier." Shi Shi laughed heartily, extremely excited.

"Don’t underestimate them. These forces aren’t easy to deal with, and their overall strength still surpasses the Xiao Alliance. They may not willingly submit." Xiao Tianxiong calmly analyzed.

"Indeed." Xiao Ye nodded, "Father, Grandfather Chiefs, you will need to observe the Iron Clothes Sect’s loyalty. If they show any disloyalty, do not hesitate to punish them severely!"

"Ye’er, with us three old fellows here, you can focus on cultivation. After all, you are the spiritual leader of the Xiao Alliance," Xiao Tianxiong said.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly, took out a large package from his luggage.

This package contained the treasures he obtained from the Emperor’s Cultivation Land. He had only taken a part earlier, but now he revealed it all.

"Grandfather Chiefs, distribute these among the clan members. To truly make the Iron Clothes Sect submit, our members’ strength cannot be lacking," Xiao Ye said.

Xiao Tianxiong and the others took the package and opened it, their eyes shimmering with excitement.

The treasures included Innate Techniques, powerful Combat Techniques, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and even Xuan Artifacts. With these treasures, the growth of the Xiao Alliance is just around the corner.

In the following days, the Xiao Alliance finally settled down, and Tie Wuwang didn’t go idle either. He dispatched his disciples to collaborate with the Xiao Alliance members, fully taking over Yuanfeng County and organizing everything in good order.

His attitude left even the three village chiefs with nothing to say.

With the Iron Clothes Sect’s assistance, the Xiao Alliance quickly got on track.

In a luxuriously grand room, the Xiao family was dining together.

Anran, seventy to eighty percent healed, could now get out of bed. She was holding Little Xiao Fan and feeding him, her face glowing with motherly love, occasionally glancing at the father and son, Xiao Yang and Xiao Ye.

Having returned from the brink of death, she cherished everything even more.

Xiao Yang, having broken through to the Innate Realm, now appeared even younger, becoming a pillar of the Xiao Alliance. Many matters required his attention, making him very busy.

However, he always returned home punctually for meals.

Xiao Ye sat at the table, watching the serene and peaceful scene before him, feeling immensely happy, almost unwilling to break it.

This, this is Xiao Ye’s family, the family he intends to protect with his life.

He does not allow anyone to destroy it!

"It’s time to address the hidden threat of He Mo. I hope Tie Wuwang did not deceive me," Xiao Ye thought, then stood up.

"Father, Mother, I need to go on a long journey," Xiao Ye took a deep breath and said.

Xiao Yang and Luo Meilan were slightly taken aback, exchanging glances.

"Ye’er, I know you’ve grown up now and have your own matters to attend to. I won’t stop you, just remember to come back early," Xiao Yang said slowly.

Luo Meilan seemed to understand what Xiao Ye was going to do, her eyes reddening as she lowered her head.

Xiao Ye nodded, glanced at Little Xiao Fan, then took up the Flame Saber and left the room. After giving some instructions to the National Guardian General, he soared to the skies, flying towards the distance.

With the National Guardian General guarding the Xiao Alliance and elite troops sent by the King on duty, even if He Mo attacked or Tie Wuwang rebelled, it wouldn’t inflict significant damage on the Xiao Alliance.

"He Mo, this time you must die!" Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with icy light as he flew towards the Desolate Forest, the direction of which he had already inquired about.

Desolate Forest.

The lush green forest was vibrant, with towering trees standing high, and now and then, the roars of Ferocious Beasts echoed from the depths of the forest.

Around this area, spanning a hundred square miles, lay deserted without a soul, as if the beasts’ roars were the principal melody.

A day later, a young figure descended from the sky, immediately attracting the gaze of numerous Ferocious Beasts.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

A horde of massive Ferocious Beasts charged at the young figure, their eyes as fiery red as lanterns.

"Humph!"

Xiao Ye snorted coldly, and with a slight tremor of the Fire Xuan Pill within him, the terrifying power swept out, sending all the Ferocious Beasts flying.

These beasts were at the Innate Realm; however strong they were, how could they be a match for Xiao Ye?

Xiao Ye roamed the Desolate Forest as if it were uninhabited, searching for He Mo’s whereabouts.

To startle the enemy, Xiao Ye rarely slew the beasts, merely dispersing his Xuanwu Realm suppression to frighten them away.

"Why would He Mo come to the Desolate Forest and hide here?" Xiao Ye wondered, full of curiosity.

The Desolate Forest was vast, comparable to twenty city-sized areas. Xiao Ye took ten days to search through it but found no trace of He Mo.

"Is Tie Wuwang deceiving me, or has He Mo already left?"

Xiao Ye frowned slightly, and just as he was about to depart, a figure clad in gray robes suddenly descended from the skies, landing in the Desolate Forest.

"He Mo!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly, for he would never forget that silhouette.
