Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 248 - 246: Making a Fortune

Inside the first passage, upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Feng Yujiao and the others were first slightly stunned, then overjoyed.

Zhang Qingyuan’s actions had already angered them; now, with such an opportunity laid before them, what was there to hesitate about?

At that moment, the expressions of Feng Yujiao and her two companions turned icy, and they walked towards Zhang Qingyuan lying on the ground.

"What... what are you going to do, you ungrateful wretches? If it weren’t for me, you might have died at the hands of pirates, and now you repay kindness with malice!"

Zhang Qingyuan, first severely injured by Xiao Ye — his flesh a bloody blur and many of his bones broken — had forcibly used a secret technique to fiercely battle Little White and now suffered the backlash of the secret technique, leaving him without the strength to even flee.

"You still have the face to speak! We respected you, and you used us as cannon fodder, who is the real ungrateful one!"

"Brother Zhang, you were the most talented Heavenly Pride in the history of the Southern Field Domain, so I know you’ve always looked down on us. I guess you didn’t expect there would come a day like this, did you?"

The two young Heavenly Prides of the Southern Field Domain spoke one after another and then struck together, launching various attacks at Zhang Qingyuan.

With Xiao Ye’s words in mind, they dared not kill Zhang Qingyuan outright. Each attack avoided vital points, making Zhang Qingyuan scream repeatedly in pain.

"I... Zhang Qingyuan, as a genius with the Emperor’s Stature, am destined to take the invincible path. How can I now be beaten without the ability to fight back?"

More than the physical pain, the humiliation in Zhang Qingyuan’s heart was unbearable.

"I, Feng Yujiao, must have been blind!"

Feng Yujiao, though a woman, showed no mercy in her attacks, striking even more ruthlessly than the two young men.

"Ah!"

The veins on Zhang Qingyuan’s forehead bulged as he felt as though he was about to explode.

"I can’t accept this!"

In Zhang Qingyuan’s heart resurfaced the warning from his family elders in the Southern Field Domain before he left: the True Spirit Continent is full of monstrous talents — always be careful and never underestimate any opponent.

His long-time invincibility made Zhang Qingyuan dismissive of that advice.

Only today did he taste the bitter fruit and realize that there were some people he shouldn’t provoke, like Xiao Ye.

In anguish and regret, Zhang Qingyuan spurted a mouthful of blood and died in his frustration.

It must be said, even Zhang Qingyuan’s talents were formidable; if he hadn’t died, his future achievements would have been exceptional.

"Xiao... Brother, can we go now?" Seeing Zhang Qingyuan dead, the two young men nervously chuckled.

Feng Yujiao also stood there with a tense expression.

They couldn’t help it; the young man before them was too terrifying. Merely standing there, he brought a tremendous oppression to them.

Moreover, Xiao Ye was accompanied by an equally terrifying ferocious beast.

"You may leave, but some people must pay a price!" Xiao Ye’s cold voice resounded, followed by a palm strike.

The young man who had escaped from the sealed seas of Heavenly Slaughter Island had no chance to resist Xiao Ye’s palm; his body was flung across the air, smashing brutally into the corridor wall.

"Ah, my cultivation!"

The young man screamed miserably, his face ashen.

For Heavenly Prides like them, being crippled in cultivation was no different from being killed.

"Humph, when you were fleeing, you mocked me coldly. Do you think now you can just slip away and I’ll let you off that easily?" Xiao Ye sneered, then turned his gaze towards the stunned Feng Yujiao and the other.

"Leave the treasures you’ve obtained, take him, and get out! If you dare linger, I won’t hesitate to kill you." Xiao Ye said coldly.

Feng Yujiao and the young man grimaced painfully, hastily setting down their bags, helping up the young man whose cultivation had been destroyed, and left.

In such circumstances, being able to retreat unharmed, they had nothing to complain about.

"Let’s see what treasures there are." Xiao Ye’s eyes shone with anticipation as he opened three bags, pouring out a pile of mid-grade Primordial Stones that emitted a hazy glow.

"So many!" Xiao Ye’s eyes widened, and Little White also started calling out cheerfully nearby.

The mid-grade Primordial Stones from the three bags added up to more than five hundred pieces.

"Perfect, I was just running out of mid-grade Primordial Stones." Xiao Ye laughed heartily, then his gaze moved over, discovering seven books among the pile of mid-grade Primordial Stones.

"It’s actually Sixth Grade Battle Techniques!" Xiao Ye’s eyes burned with fervor.

Sixth Grade Battle Techniques were extremely rare in the Yulan Domain; so far, Xiao Ye had only cultivated the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist.

Although under Xiao Ye’s modification this fist technique was now far more powerful than before, very vigorous but consuming a lot of energy, it was not suitable for prolonged use.

"Let’s see what Sixth Grade Battle Techniques there are!"

Xiao Ye tossed a few mid-grade Primordial Stones to Little White to devour, then immediately checked the books.

"Swordsmanship, Spear Technique, Fist Skill, Hand Technique... Why are they all so weak?" Xiao Ye shook his head every time he picked up a Sixth Grade Battle Technique.

Among the weapons, he preferred to use the domineering saber, clearly unsuited to swordsmanship and spear techniques.

Moreover, the battle techniques for fis

"""

"Hmm? Blood Battle Eight Directions, this is a saber technique!"

When Xiao Ye picked up the last booklet, his eyes suddenly burst into intense light.

At his current realm, the power of Heaven Burning Slash had greatly increased, but it was clearly insufficient for fighting enemies.

Finding a new saber technique, Xiao Ye was in a great mood and collected all the combat techniques.

Although apart from Blood Battle Eight Directions, he had no interest in the other techniques, they were still Sixth Grade Battle Techniques. If taken outside, they would cause a huge sensation, so of course, he couldn’t discard them.

Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, asked Little White to guard these Primordial Stones in place, and continued walking along the passage.

According to his speculation, this place should be the dwelling of a strong fighter, which later turned into a treasury for Heavenly Slaughter Island. These Mid-grade Primordial Stones must have been placed there by the people of Heavenly Slaughter Island.

And among Heavenly Slaughter Island, the Secret Technique that allows Martial Artists to rapidly reach the Mystic Martial realm must be left by some strong fighter.

Soon, the passage ahead suddenly cleared, and Xiao Ye entered a huge palace.

On the open ground of the palace were rocks radiating a hazy light, almost piling up into a small hill.

"There are so many Mid-grade Primordial Stones!" Xiao Ye’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Upon a rough count, he found that there were at least seven hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones here, plus those outside totaling twelve hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

This number was astonishing!

This was definitely a fortune that could drive a Martial Artist in the Mystic Martial realm insane.

"Could these Mid-grade Primordial Stones all be the savings of Heavenly Slaughter Island over the years?" Xiao Ye was extremely excited.

Then a doubt emerged in Xiao Ye’s heart. Are the people of Heavenly Slaughter Island fools? Having so many Mid-grade Primordial Stones and not using them for cultivation, isn’t that a waste of resources?

If Second Evil and Third Evil had used them for cultivation, even with their poor talents, their current cultivation levels would have been stronger.

What reason could let Second Evil and Third Evil resist such a temptation?

Xiao Ye shook his head; anyway, now that Second Evil and Third Evil were dead, their savings had ended up cheaply benefiting him.

Then, Xiao Ye took a round around the palace and found nothing special. It seems that any convenient-to-carry treasures had been taken away by Zhang Qingyuan and others.

"These Primordial Stones are difficult to carry and easily attract attention. It’s better to find the Secret Technique to reach the Mystic Martial Realm and then cultivate in seclusion here," Xiao Ye decided in his heart, then walked out of the palace.

"Little White, just wait for me here." Xiao Ye moved all the Mid-grade Primordial Stones into the palace at the end of the first corridor, and then left Little White behind.

He didn’t want to risk losing so many Mid-grade Primordial Stones.

Little White howled in anger, but when Xiao Ye promised to take out a hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones for it to devour, Little White finally nodded in satisfaction.

"A hundred Primordial Stones!" Xiao Ye felt pained.

If it hadn’t been for this huge and unexpected fortune, he would have never been willing to part with so much.

Xiao Ye gathered his things and then traveled alone.

This place seemed to be in another space, eerily quiet.

Xiao Ye followed the first corridor and walked back to the original three-way intersection.

"Now going to the second corridor; I wonder what treasures are inside?" Xiao Ye entered with a face full of anticipation, while cautiously prepared for any incidents.

The second corridor was almost identical to the first.

After walking for about two hours, suddenly a strong wind howled, and a trace of golden light appeared in front of Xiao Ye.

That golden light, like a Godly Weapon piercing through the limitless void, fiercely stabbed towards his body.

Puff!

Puff!

...

Before Xiao Ye could react, he felt intense pain as his flesh was sliced open by numerous small cuts, and blood began to flow.

"What kind of power is this!" Xiao Ye was startled and hurriedly formed a layer of defense around his body.

It should be known that since reaching the Mystic Martial Realm, his Physical Body had not increased further, but it was still not weak.

That mere strand of golden light actually managed to breach his physical defense, which was quite frightening.

This kind of unknown danger was enough to deter most Martial Artists in the Mystic Martial realm.

"Since I, Xiao Ye, have come here, I will definitely not retreat!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes, as the two Xuandans inside him erupted simultaneously, a terrifying force bursting forth to construct defenses.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Xiao Ye stomped his foot and swiftly lunged forward.

As Xiao Ye got closer, the golden light became more intense, eventually shining like a sun, radiating light everywhere yet filled with an unstoppable sharp momentum.

Boom boom boom!

Every strand of golden light transformed into a Godly Weapon, becoming a saber or a sword as it varied infinitely.

They pierced through the void, emitting an aura that seemed capable of chopping down stars and devouring mountains and rivers, rushing towards Xiao Ye.
