Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 411 - 407 Conspiracy

Chapter 411: Chapter 407 Conspiracy

The words of the South Emperor’s Prince directly left Xiao Ye and the other two in a daze.

Young Iron Blood Emperor’s brother?

It’s said that birds of a feather flock together, and the brother of the Young Emperor, of course, would not be an ordinary person—sure to be one of the unmatched Ancient Geniuses of the ancient era.

East Emperor’s Princess, to think she was trapped by the Heroic Spirit of such a person.

At this moment, the heart of East Emperor’s Prince sank to the bottom, his expression extremely ugly.

"Brother Donghuang, you don’t need to worry. That Ancient Heroic Spirit has no intention to harm your sister, and you can choose not to go. As long as you wait until the Dynasty Battle ends, an Emperor Martial Realm Expert will naturally take action to rescue your sister."

"It’s just that your sister won’t be able to participate in the Dynasty Battle," the South Emperor’s Prince explained the brutal truth of the Dynasty Battle.

"No, I must go; my sister’s wish is to enter Central State with me." East Emperor’s Prince shook his head, then looked towards Xiao Ye and Nangong Xingyu.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Nangong, that Ancient Heroic Spirit has not harmed my sister, but if we try to rescue her, he might act, and there will be great danger. You don’t need to come with me." East Emperor’s Prince sincerely said.

Xiao Ye smiled slightly upon hearing this. The sincere attitude of the East Emperor’s Prince won his favor.

He was of course aware of the danger involved. Besides, this Ancient Heroic Spirit was the brother of the Young Iron Blood Emperor, and he was very interested in meeting him, as it would greatly benefit his exploration of Martial Arts.

Immediately, Xiao Ye spoke up: "Since ancient times, countless Heavenly Prides have existed, but who can truly be king is only known through trial. Brother Donghuang, I, Xiao Ye, am willing to accompany you on this journey."

"What Xiao Ye said is right, I too am willing to take this trip with you, to see what is extraordinary about this brother of the Iron Blood Emperor." Nangong Xingyu said, his body emanating a terrifying War Intent for the first time, awe-inspiring.

East Emperor’s Prince, upon hearing this, his eyes flickered, and he bowed to them: "I owe you great thanks, I will remember this, Brother Nangong, lead us there."

South Emperor’s Prince nodded slightly, gave Xiao Ye a deep look, and then took the lead, stepping into the void, each step causing ripples in the void, moving forward like a sharp arrow.

Xiao Ye, East Emperor’s Prince, and Nangong Xingyu side by side like three meteors cutting through the heaven, followed him.

The Ancient Battlefield was boundless, the end unknown.

Strong people at the Four Princes Level hurried on their way, crossing hundreds of thousands of miles in half a day.

Finally, after three days, the scenery before the four individuals changed, and a vast sea appeared covered with endless fog.

Splash!

A burst of terrifying waves churned in the sea, as if hiding an Ancient Fierce Beast.

"What is this place? There actually exists such a place within the Ancient Battlefield." Xiao Ye was shocked, inadvertently releasing his Void Martial Thought to detect, but discovered that his consciousness couldn’t gauge the depth of the sea.

"Brother Donghuang, at the first challenge, I was transported above this sea surface, and your sister was transported to the seabed."

"At that time, I heard a call for help and couldn’t help diving down to investigate, only to find your sister being taken away by an Ancient Heroic Spirit, while I was powerless," South Emperor’s Prince said apologetically.

East Emperor’s Prince waved his hand to indicate it was not a problem.

Then, led by the South Emperor’s Prince, the four set up a Protective Shield and plunged into the sea together, their forms engulfed by the rolling waters.

Roar!

Not long after they submerged, the surrounding water boiled up, raising monstrous waves, and several huge dark shapes suddenly swam towards them, opening their massive maws gleaming with sharp teeth, a bloodthirsty scent hitting their faces.

"Be careful, there are Ferocious Beasts here," South Emperor’s Prince said gravely.

Without his reminder, Xiao Ye and the others had already noticed. East Emperor’s Prince quickly moved, his hand swinging a Sword, and a Golden Radiance appeared, penetrating three large dark shapes and drawing fresh blood.

"Infinite Radiant Sun Fist!"

Xiao Ye roared, his body bursting with Golden Radiance, swinging his fists like two suns rising from the void. The intense light lit up the seabed, an overwhelmingly yang aura swept out, charging towards the seabed beasts.

These four were Peak Strong People at the Prince Level, and in no time, they had dealt with all the Ferocious Beasts.

"These are Ferocious Beasts from ancient times; their flesh is greatly nourishing for us Void Martial Realm Experts, no less valuable than High Grade Essence Stones. We can’t let it go," South Emperor’s Prince said with a chuckle, then waved his hand to collect the corpses of three beasts.

"Greatly nourishing?" Xiao Ye looked at South Emperor’s Prince curiously, this man was indeed knowledgeable, even aware of such things.

Following his lead, Xiao Ye and the others also collected the bodies of the beasts, then continued forward.

Next, the four encountered several more waves of seabed Ferocious Beasts, which they killed one by one, their bodies divided up.

"Everyone, we have reached the territory of that ancient heroic spirit; do not get any closer, or we will be detected immediately," suddenly, the voice of the South Emperor’s Prince echoed.

The three of them quickly halted upon hearing this.

Xiao Ye fixed his gaze and immediately noticed an ancient ruin not far ahead, suspended amidst the ocean waters like a lone island, presenting a magnificent sight.

This was a vast ancient ruin, filled with the aura of vicissitudes. Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, or perhaps some destruction, it no longer retained its former glory.

What now appeared before the four of them were some collapsed buildings, bizarre in shapes and mostly constructed from giant rocks, but naturally formed. Xiao Ye could tell that these were likely buildings from thousands of years ago.

At the entrance of the ancient ruins, there stood a colossal stone sculpture of a man clad in clothes, holding a big bow, his posture as upright as a pine tree, with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, his gaze sharp, his feet treading upon the heavens.

"Could this be the statue of the Iron Blood Emperor’s friend?" Xiao Ye curiously looked on.

"Indeed, according to the ancient texts I’ve perused, the Iron Blood Emperor’s friend was named Tian Yi, a divine archer who wielded the Heavenly Incomplete Bow, capable of chasing stars and moons, killing enemies from thousands of miles away, and few could escape his single arrow. In those times, he possessed enormous fame, but eventually, he fell in the ancient battlefield."

"Tian Yi," Xiao Ye murmured, etching the name in his mind.

"Brother Nangong, where is my sister?" At this point, the East Emperor’s Prince asked in a low voice.

The South Emperor’s Prince pointed towards the center of the ruins, stating, "If I’m not mistaken, your sister should be there. But if we approach within ten miles of these ruins, we will be detected immediately, and even the arrows of an ancient heroic spirit like Tian Yi, who has already fallen, are not something we can withstand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye and the others exchanged glances and furrowed their brows.

An archer who could kill enemies from thousands of miles away was far more terrifying than other formidable foes; if they were discovered, they were likely to face dire consequences.

Seeing the three silent, the South Emperor’s Prince took the initiative to say, "Brother Donghuang, you should know that the mystical secrets I have comprehended belong to a special realm within the Natural Laws, emphasizing desirelessness and allowing nature to take its course, making me particularly skilled at concealing my aura."

"So, I have a plan. You three divert Tian Yi’s attention, while I sneak in and rescue your sister, how about it?"

Hearing this, the East Emperor’s Prince, who had been looking rather worried, immediately brightened up and joyously said, "Brother Nangong, I didn’t expect you would be willing to help, this is more than perfect."

The South Emperor’s Prince slightly smiled, "The mystical secrets I’ve comprehended are very special. Saving someone increases one’s fate, allowing me to advance further on this path. Helping you is helping myself, so there’s no need for thanks."

"To think there are such special secrets in the world, where saving someone could deepen one’s understanding," Xiao Ye became even more curious.

Regarding the South Emperor’s Prince’s plan, neither Xiao Ye, the East Emperor’s Prince, nor Nangong Xingyu objected. Together, the four of them formulated a strategy and prepared to take action.

After analysis, as long as the three of them joined forces, they could withstand Tian Yi’s arrows, making the plan highly likely to succeed.

The East Emperor’s Prince took a deep breath and, like a long rainbow, flew towards the ancient ruins.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye and Nangong Xingyu closely followed, all three releasing their peak aura, recklessly sweeping forth, instantly stirring up the seawater of the area like a tsunami.

As for the South Emperor’s Prince, he concealed all his aura and took a detour to the rear of the ancient ruins, ready to act at any moment.

"Heh... I seclude myself in the depths of the Abyss Sea, and yet, I have been disturbed repeatedly lately. Is it really necessary for the warriors of this era in the Emperor Martial Realm to be exterminated, even capturing me, Tian Yi?"

Not long afterward, an angry voice thundered like rumbling thunder, emitting from the ruins, stirring up giant waves.

Then, a youth who looked exactly like the statue at the entrance holding a huge curved bow stepped out from the ruins, riding the waves.

This youth’s figure appeared very ethereal, his eyes brimming with endless cold light, firmly focusing on the three princes.

At that moment, Xiao Ye felt a chill down his spine as though an arrow was hanging above his head, which could pierce through him at any moment.

This was the residual might of Tian Yi, the ancient genius archer, and it was hard to conceive how powerful he had been.

However, what alarmed Xiao Ye even more were the implications in Tian Yi’s words.

"What does he mean by being disturbed again and again? And who wants to capture him?" Xiao Ye’s mind was filled with doubts.

At this moment, the East Emperor’s Prince took a step forward_mCccD2zdGm0zLjQZS_EeLGStRSf0R7vzBotOtrJyE1_AaND4hxAChEbb1ZyTp7uc_chatHjNrH0obxJx4cCczZrCZWy8nLWQm_svg.ResumeLayout backgroundImage.svg...

"Oh? The miss thrown into my meditation place is your friend?" Tian Yi’s eyes softened as he slowly answered.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye and the others caught their breath. The East Emperor’s Princess was actually thrown in here; what exactly was going on? A sense of conspiracy rose from their hearts.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred suddenly!
