Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

"Let me ask you one more time. How about you give her to me?" He Jundao said to Young Master Moon, pointing a finger at Lu Dieyi.

On the Starry Sky Ancient Road, He Jundao had run into Young Master Moon before.

At that time, He Jundao had said the same thing to Young Master Moon.

The two had even been on the verge of fighting.

But in the end, they were wary of each other and didn’t make a move.

Because they both knew that only by entering Wangchuan City could they be considered to have stepped into the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.

If they fought on the Starry Sky Ancient Road and both ended up injured, they would very likely lose their qualification to enter the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.

But now was different. Wangchuan City was close at hand and could open at any moment, because today marked one month since the Starry Sky Ancient Road had opened.

Under these circumstances, He Jundao naturally had no more reservations.

Hearing his words, Lu Dieyi’s pretty face turned grim.

She knew the dangers of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and she knew its cruelty, but she had never imagined that she would be captured here and now be claimed like a piece of merchandise.

Lu Dieyi wanted to resist, wanted to speak.

Unfortunately, she was restrained.

Unlike Lu Dieyi, the other captive, Wenren Yuxin, was staring into the crowd. Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep disappointment.

"You two, you’ve gone too far." Before Young Master Moon could speak, a voice rang out from the direction Wenren Yuxin was looking.

Then, a few people emerged from the crowd. Among them, a young master of about seventeen or eighteen years old was at the front, appearing to be their leader.

"And who are you supposed to be?!" He Jundao’s brow twitched, paying the group no mind whatsoever.

He had seen this group on the Starry Sky Ancient Road before. At the time, they had not clashed.

A flash of anger crossed the young master’s face as he spoke, "He Jundao, do you really think there’s no one in Cangnan?! Today, I, Gao Hong, will see what you’re made of!"

As soon as the young master spoke, the Martial Artists here exploded into an uproar.

"Gao Hong! It’s actually Gao Hong. He’s the fourth person on the Starry Sky Ancient Road to collect three hundred Tokens!"

"Even though he isn’t one of the Ten Great Young Masters, his combat power is still astonishing enough."

"He’s definitely the number one person beneath the three great young masters. Now we’ve got a good show to watch."

"You’re wrong. That Lin Horror who hunted the ancient beast is the number one person beneath the three great young masters. I wonder if he’s here right now?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, then looked around, trying to find Lin Hao.

He Jundao had naturally heard of Gao Hong’s name as well, but he still didn’t take him seriously. He shook his head and said, "In Cangnan, I only know of Lin Wu, not Gao Hong."

He still didn’t take Gao Hong seriously.

"Don’t be so insolent! Senior Brother Gao is number one on the Holy Stele among the disciples of the Yujin Saint Institute!" a Martial Artist behind Gao Hong angrily rebuked.

Hearing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of He Jundao’s mouth. He stared straight at Gao Hong and said, "The Cangnan Empire truly lives up to its barren reputation. For a Martial Artist like you to actually become the number one in a Saint Institute..."

When He Jundao said this, every Cangnan Martial Artist’s face burned with fury.

Surprisingly, Gao Hong wasn’t angry. After taking a deep breath, he said to Young Master Moon, who was watching the show from the side, "What will it take for you to release them?"

Wenren Yuxin and Lu Dieyi were Young Master Moon’s captives, so of course he wouldn’t mistake his primary target.

"If you can beat him, I’ll let them go." Young Master Moon looked toward He Jundao, the smile on his face not fading.

Gao Hong raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak.

"Moon, I think we should get rid of them first before we discuss who she belongs to," He Jundao suddenly said to Young Master Moon.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Moon actually replied with a single word: "Fine."

These two were so unpredictable. One moment they were about to duel, and now they were suddenly on the same side.

The eyes of all the Martial Artists from the Cangnan Empire twitched.

If the two great young masters from the Celestial Yang Continent joined forces, they would likely be in mortal danger.

"Lin Wu is from the Cangnan Empire! Aren’t you afraid he’ll come looking for you to settle the score?!" a Martial Artist behind Gao Hong shouted.

"Heh, while we’ve never met Lin Wu, we know the path he wishes to walk. We will walk that same path. Even without you, we will still have a battle with Lin Wu." He Jundao shrugged, completely unconcerned.

At this moment, before Wangchuan City, he wanted to establish his dominance.

Gao Hong’s combat power was outstanding, enough to make him a worthy opponent.

And besides Gao Hong, the few people behind him also had extraordinary cultivation. This could be some fun.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Otherwise, you’ll lose your chance," Gao Hong said suddenly, his voice cold.

"Hm?"

He Jundao and Young Master Moon stopped simultaneously, a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes.

"Do you know whose people they are?" Gao Hong asked, glancing at Wenren Yuxin and Lu Dieyi.

"It would be even better if they were Lin Wu’s people," Young Master Moon said, the corners of his mouth lifting in a rather excited expression.

Gao Hong shook his head. "No, they belong to Lin Hao."

"Lin Hao? The guy who hunted the descendant of the ancient beast?" Young Master Moon was a little surprised.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he burst out laughing.

"I was planning on taking Lin Hao as my servant. To think they’re actually his people... Excellent." Young Master Moon was exceptionally excited.

At his side, He Jundao’s eyes also lit up.

And Yang Qingtian, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, also had a different kind of light in his eyes after hearing Lin Hao’s name.

"Lin Hao, get out here!" Young Master Moon’s voice rang out as he scanned the crowd.

"Lin Hao isn’t here," He Jundao said. He already knew what Lin Hao looked like.

"Lin Hao still hasn’t arrived at a time like this? Looks like I overestimated him." Young Master Moon had a disappointed look on his face.

Just as his voice fell, his eyes narrowed. A few more Martial Artists had emerged from one of the Starry Sky Ancient Roads.

However, when he saw that it was the lowest-level Starry Sky Ancient Road, he shook his head again.

"Sister Yuxin..." Among those Martial Artists was a little fatty with sharp eyes. He spotted Wenren Yuxin from afar and couldn’t help but wave at her.

This little fatty was, of course, Wenren Feiming.

"Feiming, don’t shout. Something’s not right." In the crowd, Chen Xiao—or rather, Lin Xiao now—grabbed Wenren Feiming.

There were seven people in their group: Yang Peng, Lin Tian, Lin Yuan, Lin Xiao, Ling Xiao, Chen Qian, and Wenren Feiming.

Although Wenren Feiming quickly shut his mouth, he had already drawn everyone’s attention.

The gazes of the three great young masters swept over this group, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes before vanishing.

There were a few very strange people in this group.

Their perception was terrifying.

After Yang Peng and his group drew closer, the surprise in the three young masters’ eyes grew even stronger, and a look of confusion also appeared.

"I don’t care who you are. Let them go!" Yang Peng stared at Young Master Moon, killing intent surging in his eyes.

As soon as he spoke, the aura on his body became terrifying.

At the same time, the others also stood with Yang Peng. The auras they released made even Young Master Moon’s expression change.

The highest cultivation among these Martial Artists was only the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm, but the aura they released made even him feel a sense of pressure.
