Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

’Does Flame Heaven City really have such bizarre names?’

Yunxi didn’t know.

But from Lin Hao’s tone, he definitely wasn’t joking right now.

In other words, such place names really existed in Flame Heaven City.

So, that raised a question.

’Lin Hao knows about them so clearly. Could it be that he’s been to Flame Heaven City before?’

But Yunxi immediately dismissed this hypothesis.

After Marquis Mo and Yunxi awakened their bloodlines one after another, the two of them didn’t stay in the capital of the Mo Yun Kingdom, instead choosing to go out and temper themselves. It was just that they chose different places. Marquis Mo mostly trained within the Mo Yun Kingdom. Yunxi, on the other hand, disguised herself and entered the Cangnan Empire.

It could be said that Yunxi knew the young geniuses of the Cangnan Empire like the back of her hand. After Lin Hao’s sudden rise to prominence, she had naturally inquired about everything concerning him.

She knew Lin Hao came from a small city on the border, and that this was his first time in Imperial City and his first time in Jumo City.

’Even she didn’t know about these two places in Flame Heaven City, so how could a young man who was leaving his country for the first time know?’

For a moment, Yunxi’s mind was filled with question marks. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The turtle had the same reaction.

The turtle heard Lin Hao’s words and voiced its doubt directly, "You... how do you know?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately perked up her ears.

"A secret." A single word that left her utterly frustrated escaped Lin Hao’s lips.

"Once this divine turtle gets to that mansion you mentioned, everything will become clear! Hold on tight!" Compared to Yunxi, the turtle’s method was more direct.

The moment it finished speaking, it charged toward Flame Heaven City’s sealed gates.

RUMBLE!

In the next moment, a tremendous sound erupted. The gates of Flame Heaven City, which were even sturdier than those of Shangyang City, were directly smashed open, leaving a huge hole.

The moment the turtle appeared on the streets of Flame Heaven City, several True Essence hands immediately reached out to grab them.

Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists possessed a restrictive power over lower-level Martial Artists. As the True Essence hands grabbed for them, there was no telling how many Martial Artists were using this power.

However, this power was completely useless against the turtle.

BANG!

The turtle’s body shot through the street. Behind it, one giant hand after another plunged into the ground, crushing the stones on the surface.

The turtle was simply too fast; all of their True Essence hands missed.

In the blink of an eye, the turtle, carrying Lin Hao and Yunxi, had already charged over a thousand meters in.

The once wide and intact street behind them was now a complete mess, pockmarked with deep pits, all of them gouged out by the True Essence hands of the Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists.

The turtle charged forward, then suddenly let out a strange cry, because it saw that two large words had truly appeared up ahead to its right—Yama Street.

These two words were written in blood, with powerful and forceful strokes, and they seemed to faintly emanate a terrifying aura.

The turtle’s body swerved sharply in front of these two words, turning right and heading in.

And at almost the exact same moment, someone made a move.

This person was Mo Yantian.

As the esteemed lord of a city, he would naturally not lie in ambush at the gates of Flame Heaven City.

And all the Martial Artists he had arranged were positioned on the road ahead.

’Just a single Eighth Layer of Elemental Realm Martial Artist, and yet they’d concentrated all their forces on the path ahead. This was already unprecedented.’

If the two ancestors hadn’t given the order, Mo Yantian would have arranged three Martial Artists at most.

But now, a turtle had actually broken through layer after layer of defenses, and all the Martial Artists hadn’t even managed to touch the corner of the clothes of the people on its back. This shocked Mo Yantian beyond measure.

Seeing the turtle spot him and swerve to the right, Mo Yantian didn’t even think before deciding to strike.

A True Essence hand materialized and viciously grabbed at the turtle.

The giant hand blotted out the sky, casting a vast shadow. Not only was the turtle enveloped by the hand, but several meters around it were also covered by this hand of True Essence.

The ancestors had ordered that all Martial Artists below the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm were to attack with their full strength. But in truth, in the whole of the vast Flame Heaven City, there wasn’t a single Martial Artist at the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm.

Mo Yantian’s cultivation was at the Fourth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm.

Even so, this was still terrifyingly powerful.

This was because Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artists were beings who had awakened their Divine Soul, and their combat power was several times, or even dozens of times, more terrifying than someone at the Peak of the Elemental Realm.

At this moment, Mo Yantian, at the Fourth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm, struck with his full power. His True Essence hand was exceptionally terrifying. Not only that, but he also used his restrictive power.

But the turtle’s body remained unaffected.

The turtle’s body was moving at an extreme speed and shot away in an instant.

SMASH!

Mo Yantian’s True Essence hand fell, and a pavilion on the corner was directly crushed by it.

In the hands of a Soul Gathering Realm Martial Artist, buildings were like they were made of paper-mâché!

Missing his strike, a strange look flashed in Mo Yantian’s eyes, but he held back and chose not to pursue.

Yama Street led directly to Yellow Springs Road, and at the very end of Yellow Springs Road, there was only a single mansion, which belonged to Mo Yanwu.

’No matter how fast that turtle is, or how astonishing its power, once it enters Yellow Springs Road, there’s no hope of it coming out.’

Because in Flame Heaven City, Mo Yanwu’s mansion was Yama Hall.

According to legend, that mansion of Mo Yanwu’s existed even before Flame Heaven City, and the first master of that mansion single-handedly established Flame Heaven City.

After Flame Heaven City was established, Yellow Springs Road became a forbidden land. It was said that without an invitation from the master, even an expert at the Spirit Transformation Realm couldn’t hope to enter.

If you forced your way in, there was only one outcome—death!

Several thousand years had passed, and Yellow Springs Road had long since lost its former power, but it was still capable of stopping Martial Artists below the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm.

BOOM!

A powerful fluctuation of energy washed over, and then Mo Yantian heard Mo Yanwu’s furious roar, "You’re courting death!"

Hearing these two sounds, Mo Yantian breathed a sigh of relief.

’That fluctuation was clearly from triggering the restrictions on Yellow Springs Road.’

’It can’t even break the restrictions of Yellow Springs Road. That turtle’s cultivation isn’t higher than the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm.’

’As long as it hasn’t surpassed that level, then it’s definitely a one-way trip with no return.’

"Damn it, why did I choose to stand here!" After his brief relief, Mo Yantian slapped himself right across the face.

If he hadn’t been standing in the wrong place, that turtle wouldn’t have been forced onto Yellow Springs Road.

He had been busy for so long, only to end up doing all the hard work for Mo Yanwu. How could Mo Yantian not be furious?

"You got lucky!" After his expression shifted several times, Mo Yantian could only deflate in frustration.

Meanwhile, in the mansion at the end of Yellow Springs Road...

After entrusting the task to Mo Yantian, Mo Yanwu had been in a fine mood, enjoying wine and performing Alchemy in his mansion, feeling quite content. But a violent fluctuation of energy instantly soured his pleasant mood.

’Daring to barge into his mansion? They must be tired of living.’

After roaring "You’re courting death," Mo Yanwu appeared in the main courtyard in front of the mansion.

When he saw the group that had appeared before him, Mo Yanwu was stunned, because the young man was none other than Lin Hao, the one the ancestors had ordered to be intercepted and killed.

"Master, quickly, help me capture Lin Hao." Upon seeing the master of this mansion, a glint of excitement flashed in Yunxi’s beautiful eyes.

As one of the few Alchemy Masters in the Mo Yun Kingdom, Yunxi recognized Mo Yanwu.

Now that Lin Hao had unintentionally barged into his mansion, how could Yunxi not be delighted?

However, the series of events that happened next completely exceeded Yunxi’s imagination.
