This gathering of powerful sect forces from Central State is held at the City Lord Mansion in Sea City.

Originally, the City Lord of Sea City was merely a strong martial artist at the King Martial Peak, but after learning the purpose of the various sect forces' visit, he happily agreed to assist. Not only did he send his own government soldiers to help with reconnaissance, but he also offered up his own City Lord Mansion for the many sect forces to meet and discuss.

Night falls.

The grand entrance to the City Lord's Mansion of Sea City opens wide, and the mansion is brilliantly illuminated. One can see powerful martial artists making their way towards the City Lord's Mansion together with their own sect members.

"Let's go!"

The Grand Elder of the Main Hall from Taiyi Palace, leading ten other elders and eighteen devilish disciples, set off.

Taiyi Palace attracted much attention among the crowd, and many eyes turned their way, especially lingering on Xiao Ye at the forefront of the devilish disciples' formation before moving on.

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng, walking beside Xiao Ye and completely ignored by others, felt a slight quiver in his body as he clenched his fists.

He could let go of the past grievance with Jun Shitian that led to Xiao Ye's punishment by the Palace Master, but he could not bear having his edge completely overshadowed by Xiao Ye!

He could not tolerate such blatant disregard!

Now, even before Xiao Ye's cultivation had caught up, this was happening. What would come of it if things continued this way?

"This mission, I will use my fists to tell everyone that I am Taiyi Palace's top disciple!" A flash of sharpness gleamed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Ye Zi!"

Just then, a familiar voice called out.

Xiao Ye looked up and saw a group of martial artists approaching from a distance. It was Prince Donghuang from the group who called out to him.

Among this group of martial artists, leading were ten elders with strong and terrifying auras, alongside many young men and women. The most eye-catching among them was a young man in a green robe.

His long hair was like ink, his eyes sharp, and his body seemed to be shrouded in an indistinct mist, exuding a sense of mystery.

Both a sharp edge and a mysterious aura perfectly merged together in one person.

Xiao Ye's gaze grew sharp as he watched the green-robed youth.

Without any introduction needed, Xiao Ye recognized him. This green-robed youth was none other than the present Emperor's son from the Unrivaled Emperor Domain, a very terrifying Heavenly Pride!

At that moment, as if sensing something, the Unrivaled Emperor's son also looked over, and their gazes met in mid-air, with actual sparks of light flickering.

"Xiao Ye, I've heard a lot about you. After your bout with Tang Yi, he came to tell me that you would eventually catch up to us, even surpass us. I'm looking forward to that day," said the Unrivaled Emperor with a slight smile on his face before turning and heading towards the City Lord Mansion.

Whoosh!

With these words, the devilish disciples and General Hall Law Enforcement Elders around Xiao Ye were utterly shocked.

Xiao Ye had actually clashed with the Absolute Emperor?

And the Absolute Emperor held Xiao Ye in such high regard?

This was way too terrifying!

"Kid, when did you have a duel with Tang Yi? That guy is not simple," asked Elder Yang standing next to Xiao Ye.

The devilish disciples and Law Enforcement Elders of the Main Hall all looked towards Xiao Ye, eager to know as well.

"It's been some time," Xiao Ye touched his nose, not going into detail. Yet, this vague response only added to his mystique.

The praise from the Absolute Emperor's son for Xiao Ye implies that in that confrontation, Xiao Ye certainly wouldn't be at a disadvantage. No wonder even the noble and proud Emperor's sons began to regard Xiao Ye differently.

"Damn it!"

The most shocked in the arena was none other than Lin Feng.

Hearing this news, he inexplicably felt a sense of panic.

Xiao Ye's growth rate was simply too terrifying.

"Ye Zi, let's go together. Staying with those guys from the Emperor Domain, I always feel very constrained," said Prince Donghuang, having left the group of Martial Artists from the Unrivaled Emperor Domain and came beside Xiao Ye.

Coming from East State just like Xiao Ye, he naturally felt a kinship with him, like meeting fellow townsmen amidst a crowd of strangers.

Soon after, Prince Donghuang and Xiao Ye walked side by side and spoke in hushed tones.

From Prince Donghuang, he received some information.

It turned out that in addition to the Four Great Emperor Domains and their Taiyi Palace, there were also the Piaomiao Sect, Luofu Mountain, Sword Sect, and Taixu Sect joining this joint mission.

These four major Sects, although not as powerful as the Taiyi Palace, were indeed first-class and famous in Central State, possessing a very strong foundation.

Nine top forces were mobilizing together, and aside from the excellent disciples from each Sect, there were also Emperor Martial Realm experts accompanying them. This time, they intended to wipe out the Sub-palace of the Ultimate Palace!

Hearing that the participating Sects did not include the Ice and Snow Palace, Xiao Ye felt a wave of disappointment.

"I remember at the time of the Dynasty's examination, many Young Talents from East State entered these Sects," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

Soon, the group arrived at the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord Mansion of Sea City was vast. Pavilions, terraces, artificial mountains, and fountains could be seen everywhere; the buildings were grouped and constructed lavishly and grandly.

They were led by the servants of the City Lord Mansion to the back garden.

At a glance, the back garden looked like a spacious square, with chairs arranged, neatly divided into nine areas, with the best position naturally reserved for the Four Great Emperor Domains.

At this time, the other eight areas were already seated.

When the people of Taiyi Palace arrived, glances were cast in their direction.

Among them, a Youth in Blood Armor, distinguished in status, with disheveled black hair, showed a hideous smile on his face when he saw Xiao Ye.

This young man in Blood Armor was the Iron Blood Emperor's son Xiao Ye had clashed with at the Holy Banquet!

Xiao Ye glanced at the other party and then withdrew his gaze.

It seemed that this time he truly had no shortage of enemies. Not to mention others, with the Iron Blood Emperor's son's arrogant and domineering character, he would certainly target Xiao Ye at all costs during this mission.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye had the Xiao Blade and Elder Yang following him; even if the Iron Blood Emperor's son made a move, he would be able to stand his ground and avoid any threat to his life.

The Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Main Hall, after seating everyone, officially began the meeting.

The target of this mission was the Ultimate Palace, and despite such a grand lineup, everyone dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

First, the City Lord of Sea City briefly relayed the information gathered by his subordinates.

Then the Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses from the Nine Major Forces began to discuss, formulate strategies for the attack, and after two hours, they finally finalized it.

"Hehe, I've heard Brother Xiao's cultivation has skyrocketed in the Holy Palace; may I have the honor of learning from you?" Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out.
