Chapter 1955 - 1938: Tie Wu Star Plate Acquired

The region of the Tie Wu Clan suddenly fell into a dead silence, leaving the eight Quasi-Saints stunned.

"What? Kill Yue Yao and demand our Tie Wu Clan’s Supreme Treasure, the Tie Wu Star Plate?"

"This is simply outrageous!"

"Such unreasonable demands cannot be agreed upon!"

"Yes, at worst we’ll fight to the death. Our Tie Wu Clan still has many Killing Formations unactivated. I refuse to believe we can’t deal with him!"

...

Until a moment later, the silence was shattered by a commotion, and all members of the Tie Wu Clan wore expressions of anger.

Xiao Ye is simply too much!

"Since you won’t agree, then let’s continue the fight!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with brilliance at these words, and he spoke calmly, while the Holy-grade Power emanating from him swept across the starry sky, causing the sun, moon, and stars to lose their brilliance.

The Tie Wu Star Plate was his true goal, and having torn off the mask, Xiao Ye naturally wouldn’t give up.

"Enough, stop!"

"We can give you the Tie Wu Star Plate!"

At this moment, a sudden aged voice rang out, like thunder exploding in this part of the starry sky, causing Tie Wu Clan members’ faces to change drastically as they all looked toward the direction of the eight Quasi-Exotic Beasts, full of disbelief.

The one who spoke was a bald elder, one of the eight ancestors of the Tie Wu Clan.

"Primordial Skill, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

The other seven Quasi-Saints all shouted in low tones.

"Gentlemen, you should see the current situation clearly."

"If we continue fighting, among the entire Tie Wu Clan, who besides us can survive?"

"Do you really want to watch as our Tie Wu Clan’s millennia-old foundation is destroyed in an instant? By surrendering the Tie Wu Star Plate, we will still remain a Quasi-Saint Force!"

"But if we don’t surrender..."

The bald elder spoke in a deep voice.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the other seven Quasi-Saints all showed complex expressions, without words.

They were Quasi-Saints—if given time, perhaps they could defeat Xiao Ye’s eight Exotic Beasts, but during that time, Xiao Ye could overthrow the Tie Wu Clan.

Situations are stronger than individuals; even if they are unwilling at heart, it is of no use.

They carry the future of the entire Tie Wu Clan.

If there’s blame to be dealt, it’s for their inability to maintain composure, striking as Xiao Ye was departing.

Now Xiao Ye is a calamity; it’s best to have him leave promptly.

"So you agreed so quickly?"

Xiao Ye was slightly surprised, scanning the area, then those eight Quasi-Saint Level Exotic Beasts ceased movement, retreating beside him.

"I will go retrieve the Tie Wu Star Plate for you."

The bald elder gave Xiao Ye a deep look, then turned and flew to the top of the Iron Crow Tree, returning after several dozen breaths of time.

"This is the Tie Wu Star Plate of my clan."

"You must take good care of it; in the future, my clan will send formidable warriors to personally reclaim it and wash away today’s shame."

With a wave of the bald elder’s hand, a seven-foot square star plate flew toward Xiao Ye.

"Is this the Tie Wu Star Plate?"

Xiao Ye grasped it with a large hand formed by Spiritual Power, bringing it in front of him for careful observation.

Lines of star patterns crisscrossed across its surface, exceedingly mystical, resembling a chess board yet like a vast Killing Formation; it emitted chilly intent, making Xiao Ye feel a cutting pain.

"What a terrifying treasure; it’s likely not a Spiritual Artifact."

Xiao Ye was immediately shocked.

His Spirit Body had been nourished by ten portions of Holy-grade Power, and ordinary Spiritual Artifacts would hardly penetrate the Spirit Body; this star plate brought him such a feeling, truly terrifying.

"Alright, I await your clan’s experts to come reclaim the Tie Wu Star Plate."

"However, if I find out that your Tie Wu Clan continues to harm fellow members of the Human Clan in the future, once I achieve Saint Transformation, I will crush your Tie Wu Clan."

After receiving confirmation from the Time Great Saint, Xiao Ye stored the Tie Wu Star Plate in the Space Ring and looked at the eight Quasi-Saints.

Within the Tie Wu Clan’s territory, there were many Spirit Rank Martial Artists imprisoned here, serving as nourishment for the Iron Crow Tree.

But he wanted to rescue them, which was simply impossible.

He was able to make the Tie Wu Clan yield because those eight Quasi-Saints didn’t want the Tie Wu Clan’s Primordial Energy severely weakened. If they truly battled to the death, his fate wouldn’t be much better.

The next moment, he let the eight Quasi-Saint Level Exotic Beasts return to the Great Realm Qiankun Map and departed with Feng Jingwu and those rescued Spirit Rank Martial Artists using the Teleportation Array.

"Transmit my order: Yue Yao’s faction is to be downgraded to a branch!"

"From now on, all members of the Tie Wu Clan must work hard in cultivation; anyone who indulges in vice like Yue Yao will be executed immediately!"

Watching Xiao Ye’s figure disappear, the eight Quasi-Saints all wore extremely grim expressions.

"Yes... yes, ancestor!"

Immediately, all the Tie Wu Clan martial artists within the clan’s territory responded with trembling hearts.

...

In the desolate Star Domain, the starry sky suddenly started to ripple, countless runes dancing, and a group of people emerged from it.

"Xiao... Xiao Ye?"

"Feng Jingwu Law Enforcement Officer!"

The Blue Demon group waiting in this Star Domain was overjoyed when they saw Xiao Ye and Feng Jingwu’s figures and eagerly greeted them.

Especially Yasi, who excitedly rushed to Feng Jingwu’s side.

But upon seeing countless Spirit Rank Martial Artists behind them, they were all stunned.

"Thank you, benefactor!"

"Lord Xiao Ye, thank you for your assistance; we are willing to follow you to the death!"

...

Looking at the starry sky outside, those rescued Spirit Rank Martial Artists were wild with joy, then knelt together before Xiao Ye in salute.

Standing alone, Xiao Ye had made the Quasi-Saint Force, the Tie Wu Clan, bow, fully winning them over.

"I presently have no plans to establish a force; please leave on your own. If unattached, consider joining the Blue Demon Star Domain."

"The Blue Demon Star Domain was the first force I joined upon arriving in the Three Thousand Great Realms."

Xiao Ye briefly communicated with the Blue Demon and waved his hand, causing Spirit Rank Martial Artists before him to rise involuntarily.

"The Blue Demon Star Domain? Luckily I am unattached; joining a Star Domain Force is worthwhile to repay the benefactor’s kindness."

"If the benefactor doesn’t wish to accept me, then I’ll leave."

...

Immediately, only some Spirit Rank Martial Artists expressed willingness to remain, which thrilled the Blue Demon greatly.

Most of these Spirit Rank Martial Artists were battle-hardened Heavenly Spirit Realm experts.

Retaining them with the Blue Demon Star Domain’s strength was extremely difficult indeed.

"Xiao Ye, I’m unsure how to thank you," the Blue Demon looked at Xiao Ye, full of gratitude.

Though Xiao Ye once served as a Law Enforcement Envoy under him, he hadn’t received overly generous treatment. His accomplishments were largely self-made.

Thus, even if Xiao Ye had not assisted, he had no complaints, no words to say.

After all, in the Three Thousand Great Realms, for interests’ sake, even brothers could become foes.

"It’s nothing, a minor effort," Xiao Ye smiled faintly, then approached Leng Ming.

"Leng Ming Law Enforcement Officer, you’re familiar with Senior Xuanlong, right?" Xiao Ye pondered momentarily before asking.

As his horizons broadened, his reverence for Xuanlong deepened, fueling curiosity as to what kind of sacred being Xuanlong was.

Moreover, the whereabouts of Little White, Jue Dai, and Tie Xue likely were known only to Xuanlong.

In the past, he inquired of Leng Ming several times, yet was met with reluctance to discuss.

Now, having concluded many matters, he asked again.
