Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 291 - 289 Xiao Ye’s Identity

Yan Family’s Martial Artists surrounding Xiao Ye approached him as they heard his words.

"If you want to capture me, then come on. Just don’t regret it later." Xiao Ye said, with his hands behind his back, standing proudly in place.

Yan Zhen was stunned, his face showed utter disbelief. Xiao Ye actually gave up resisting—could this token really carry some significant background?

At this moment, one of the Yan Family’s Martial Artists stepped forward, having taken out a bundle of purple rope, preparing to tie up Xiao Ye.

"Huh? The Binding Profound Rope? Things have gotten serious now, what is Xiao Ye up to?" Kuang Dao noticed the purple rope, and his expression changed slightly.

This Binding Profound Rope was developed by the Royal Family of the Starfall Kingdom specifically for prisoners; once bound, a Mystic Martial expert would instantly lose their power.

Xiao Ye was a genius recruited by the Genius Camp. If he were killed here by Yan Zhen, then Kuang Dao wouldn’t be able to escape punishment. However, thinking of Xiao Ye’s gaze before, Kuang Dao still restrained himself, ready to watch how things would unfold.

Xiao Ye gave up resisting and was quickly tied up tightly.

"This rope is really strange," Xiao Ye frowned slightly.

He felt a black energy emanating from the purple rope, which actually suppressed the three Xuandans inside his body, preventing him from mobilizing even a trace of strength.

"I have three Xuandans, if I had three breaths of time, I could break free completely." Xiao Ye thought to himself, relaxing a little.

Even if he couldn’t break free from the Binding Profound Rope, as long as Kuang Dao revealed his identity, the Yan Family wouldn’t dare to touch him even if they had a hundred times the courage—the absence of fear was clear on his face.

This confidence stemmed from Kuang Dao’s arrogant behavior in the Wang Family, which Xiao Ye had come to completely trust.

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, I will let you experience what fear is like before I have you quartered!" Seeing Xiao Ye tied up, Yan Zhen tossed the Identity Token onto the ground, no longer bothering to consider these things.

Xiao Ye had injured him at Heavenly Mist Peak and also snatched the last spot on the Void Martial Saint Tablet, igniting a hatred that consumed all logic—he only sought revenge!

Yan Zhen pulled out a sharp dagger from his bosom and walked towards Xiao Ye, his face twisted with a vicious smile.

"How about it? How exhilarating would it be to stab a few holes into you?" Yan Zhen thought gleefully.

He knew very well that if they fought head-on, he was no longer a match for Xiao Ye. But now, wasn’t the other’s life still firmly in his hands?

Kuang Dao’s eyes sharpened from afar. Whatever Xiao Ye’s plan was, the moment Yan Zhen dared lay a hand on Xiao Ye, he would step forward and declare Xiao Ye’s identity.

Seeing Yan Zhen approaching, Xiao Ye showed no fear, instead, his face revealed an enigmatic smile, his gaze fixed on something behind Yan Zhen.

Because from there, he sensed a terrifying aura approaching, its strength even surpassing Kuang Dao’s.

Clearly, the person coming must be the Family Head of the Yan Family. With such status and position, he would definitely recognize the Genius Camp Token. Xiao Ye wondered, what kind of expression would Yan Zhen wear then?

"What’s going on?" At that moment, a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Yan Zhen descended from the sky, hands behind his back, his eyes deep and penetrating.

He was none other than the current Family Head of the Yan Family, Yan Cangsheng.

At the sight of those dead Yan Family Martial Artists, Yan Cangsheng’s expression grew incredibly dark.

"Dad!"

Yan Zhen saw Yan Cangsheng approaching and recounted Xiao Ye’s affairs to him.

"Oh? The one who killed our Yan Family’s external Elder and also took the last spot of the Void Martial Saint Tablet, is him?" A cold light shot out of Yan Cangsheng’s eyes upon hearing this.

The killing of their clan’s external Elder by Martial Artists from the Endless Sea had been a long-standing joke at the Yan Family’s expense.

"Now that he’s been captured, leave the subsequent handling to you," Yan Cangsheng withdrew his gaze, ready to leave when suddenly, he trembled and stared intently at the golden Token on the ground.

"This... where did this come from?" Yan Cangsheng picked up the Token and observed it for quite some time before asking with a somewhat trembling voice.

Yan Zhen’s breathing halted, having seen Yan Cangsheng react like this for the first time; a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Dad, is there anything special about this Token?" Yan Zhen urgently inquired.

Yan Cangsheng obviously was not in the mood to explain too much to Yan Zhen, and he commanded, "Where did you get this Token?"

Yan Zhen was taken aback and pointed at Xiao Ye, "That Token, it was brought out by this guy, and he also said to present it to the elder ancestor."

What!

Yan Cangsheng felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this, standing still in silence.

Of course, he recognized the Identity Token of the Genius Camp, but whether this Token was actually Xiao Ye’s or not...

If it wasn’t, it would be alright, but if it was indeed Xiao Ye’s, and with Yan Zhen treating Xiao Ye in such a manner, the Yan Family could be in for quite some trouble.

Seeing Yan Cangsheng’s fluctuating expression, Yan Zhen’s bad premonition grew stronger. He looked at Xiao Ye in panic.

"Zhen’er, do you remember, the Genius Camp that Lord Starfall established?" Yan Cangsheng suddenly transmitted his voice with power.

Yan Zhen subconsciously nodded, then realized what was being implied, and his complexion turned deathly pale: "Father, are you saying that this token comes from the Genius Camp?"

Behind the Genius Camp stood none other than Lord Starfall, that super strong figure, and the members of the Genius Camp held very prestigious positions within the Xingyun Kingdom; nobody dared to offend them.

This was because the members of the Genius Camp were all unparalleled geniuses without any background, free from factional biases, and most likely to band together. Offending one member equated to making enemies with a whole cohort of geniuses.

Who could afford such a cost?

What Yan Zhen found most unbelievable was, how could Xiao Ye have joined the Genius Camp?

"Don’t be hasty, this token might not necessarily belong to Xiao Ye. Even if it does, I can make it so that the Genius Camp can’t find any leverage against us," Yan Cangsheng transmitted, then stepped forward, approaching Xiao Ye with a glint of cold light in his eyes.

"Where did you acquire this token?" Yan Cangsheng raised the golden token and asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye responded with a cold voice: "Master Yan, since you’ve already recognized this token, why bother asking needless questions? Or do you really think that I found this Identity Token somewhere?"

"Of course I recognize this token; it belongs to the Genius Camp established by Lord Starfall, and only exceptional talents can possess it. You, a Martial Artist from the Endless Sea, what qualifications do you have to catch Lord Starfall’s eye?"

"So, you surely must have obtained this token through some underhanded means!"

"Impersonating a member of the Genius Camp is a grave sin that defiles Lord Starfall’s name. Therefore, if we, the Yan Family, kill you today, not only would we be blameless, but we would also be commended!" Yan Cangsheng declared with a fierce voice, his words landing heavily, unleashing an invisible killing intent towards Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was taken aback upon hearing this, and a chill began to rise in his heart.

This Yan Cangsheng’s scheming was so profound and malevolent. With just a few words, he had turned the Yan Family’s disadvantage around and even made his stance seem righteous. Even Xiao Ye felt somewhat impressed.

According to what Yan Cangsheng said, even if Xiao Ye were indeed killed by the Yan Family, when Lord Starfall eventually pursued the matter, the Yan Family might still be able to escape responsibility.

"Boy, you’re still too young to contend with my Yan Family. Today, whether you are a member of the Genius Camp or not, you won’t leave this place," Yan Cangsheng’s mouth curled up with a mocking smile as he transmitted his voice with power.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly and said, "Master Yan, I might have to disappoint you."

"Do you have the guts to kill one member of the Genius Camp? Do you dare to kill another?"

After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he lifted his gaze towards the side.

"Another Genius Camp member?" Yan Cangsheng’s complexion changed drastically as he followed Xiao Ye’s gaze, only to see Kuang Dao slowly walking towards them, his immense energy making his Cultivation clear.

"Nine Revolutions Profound Martial Realm!" Yan Cangsheng could no longer remain calm.

Indeed, without Kuang Dao even needing to show his Identity Token, Yan Cangsheng already understood that the other party must be from the Genius Camp.

Because at such an age, to reach the Nine Revolutions Profound Martial Realm, only the Genius Camp could raise such a cultivation within the Xingyun Kingdom.

"Master Yan, do you also wish to suspect that this Identity Token of mine was obtained by foul means, and then you will execute me?" Kuang Dao flicked his palm, producing an Identity Token from his Space Ring.

Seeing the Space Ring on Kuang Dao’s finger, Yan Cangsheng no longer harbored the slightest doubt about Kuang Dao’s identity because it was a treasure even he did not possess.

"Young brother jests," Yan Cangsheng said with an embarrassed, apologetic smile.

He wouldn’t have the guts to take action again, not against Xiao Ye, nor against Kuang Dao.

"Xiao Ye has been noticed by Lord Starfall and is about to head to the Genius Camp, yet you dared to bind someone from my Genius Camp. You are truly audacious," Kuang Dao’s expression quickly darkened as he shouted.

Yan Cangsheng hurriedly said, "The incident just before was a misunderstanding. I was only afraid of someone impersonating a member of the Genius Camp, thus disgracing the Camp."

As he spoke, Yan Cangsheng moved forward to untie Xiao Ye.

Long Chen was completely stunned. Xiao Ye’s status had now become so formidable that even the head of one of the Eighteen Great Families had to put on a smiling face?

"Hold on!" Just at this moment, Kuang Dao suddenly shouted, walked up to Xiao Ye’s side, and blocked Yan Cangsheng.

"You’ve bullied my brother from the Genius Camp, and you think a simple misunderstanding can just cover it up? Is there anything so easily settled in this world?" Kuang Dao said with a cold smile.

A flicker of anger shone in Yan Cangsheng’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Then what do you want to do?"

"It’s quite simple. Agree to two conditions, and we’ll consider this matter as if it had never happened. Otherwise, my Genius Camp will treat the Yan Family as a sworn enemy," Kuang Dao declared.

Sworn enemy!

Hearing these two words, Yan Cangsheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Even if the Yan Family had a Void Martial Realm Expert among them, being targeted by a group of unparalleled geniuses still gave him a case of nerves.

Xiao Ye, on the other hand, felt somewhat touched. This was the first time he had experienced such loyalty since arriving in the True Spirit Continent.

"Please state the conditions, young brother," Yan Cangsheng asked patiently.

"It’s very simple. First, give my brother a hundred thousand Mid-grade Primordial Stones. Second, there are a few old acquaintances of my brother controlled by your Yan Family, release them all," Kuang Dao said.
