Chapter 809: Chapter 809 Conspiracy and Ambition! Chapter 809: Chapter 809 Conspiracy and Ambition! Xuanyuan Ba strode in with the gait of a king, followed by two n holding oars, finally entering the Ancient City, entering this ancient battleground.
The marquee figure of the Huaxia ancient martial arts world finally made his appearance!
Many martial artists present had never seen Xuanyuan Ba with their own eyes; they had only heard of his deeds. Today, they finally saw this legendary figure, a true honor indeed.
At last, Xuanyuan Ba arrived at the battlefield, his gaze steady, as if he reigned supre over all.
Huang Xiaolong squinted his eyes and watched Xuanyuan Ba.
The appearance of Xuanyuan Ba once again gave Huang Xiaolong a sense of familiarity!
In the sunlight, Xuanyuan Ba’s shadow stretched long. Huang Xiaolong activated his Heavenly Eye for a sweep and saw the shadow morphing into a demon with a green face and fierce fangs, exuding the endless corruption of the abyss!
Yin!
Xuanyuan Ba was not a human, but a Yin! Furthermore, his malevolent aura was even more sinister than the two holding oars behind him. It was also stronger than the four middle-aged Great Grandmasters that had appeared earlier.
Of course, to be precise, the real Xuanyuan Ba might have died long ago, his body and soul taken over by a Yin.
‘Well, well, this Ascending Dragon List Martial Arts Tournant is quite interesting, unexpectedly tumbling into a nest of the Yin Tribe.’ Huang Xiaolong was sowhat speechless. Yet, a surging battle intent rose in his heart!
It’s better to battle with ghosts than with people, and it’s even more fun to battle with the Yin.
Battling with the Yin is an endless joy indeed!
“Little Long… That’s Xuanyuan Ba for you, incredibly formidable. Look at that snow peak, thousands of ters high and so steep, covered in drift ice, impassable to flying birds, yet that guy actually paddled down from the top in a small wooden boat… so strong…” Sun Wei comnted in amazent beside him.
“Oh… That’s nothing special,” Huang Xiaolong replied with focused eyes on the snow peak. “It’s quite simple, I can also paddle down from the peak, and moreover, I can even paddle the boat up from the bottom.”
As soon as these words ca out, the people around Huang Xiaolong were all astonished.
Although Huang Xiaolong was powerful and capable of anything, his statent was still sowhat unbelievable. Paddling down from the peak might be possible, but to paddle up from the bottom to the peak was akin to sailing upstream against the current, impossible for human strength! Even if one were to propel the wooden boat with True Qi against the current, the thousands of ters in height would likely deplete all the True Qi halfway up, wouldn’t it?
At this mont, mbers of the Xuanyuan Family finally broke the deadlock. Xuanyuan Zhou wailed at Xuanyuan Ba, “Ba’er! It’s good you’re here, it’s good you’ve co! Look at your brother, Xuanyuan Sa, he was… he was… murdered by the villains of the Ying Family! Ba, you must avenge your brother!”
“Mmm, father, I know,” Xuanyuan Ba nodded slightly, his face showing no signs of anger, and even seed undisturbed. He simply tilted his head and glanced over at Huang Xiaolong from a distance.
That one glance seed to contain a sharp power capable of penetrating Huang Xiaolong’s body and soul.
However, Huang Xiaolong remained motionless and even cracked a smile.
Xuanyuan Ba didn’t entangle with Huang Xiaolong any further. After one glance, he withdrew his gaze.
“Little Long, that guy was glaring at you…” Ma Chuxia whispered softly. “His eyes were terrifying. He wasn’t just looking at us; when I caught his peripheral vision, I felt a chill too.”
“It’s nothing; at least there will be a good show today,” Huang Xiaolong said with a light smile.
“Father, let’s set aside the vengeance for my brother for now; the overall situation takes precedence.” Xuanyuan Ba took his seat casually on an observation platform. The previous four middle-aged n and the two n with oars also sat beside Xuanyuan Ba.
“Father, you go ahead and speak,” Xuanyuan Ba said in a serious tone. Everything about this man’s speech and behavior was seasoned and stable, his inner strength vast and his True Qi cultivation unfathomable; every move he made seed in harmony with the Dao of Heaven.
Huang Xiaolong had long noticed that the True Qi condensed inside Xuanyuan Ba amounted to over 600 strands. In the Huaxia ancient martial arts circles, this was already a terrifying level. Only in his twenties, it was hard to imagine how he cultivated.
‘Could it be that because the Yin are such strange creatures, they are naturally adept at cultivating ancient martial arts and have a talent far surpassing humans in this area?’ Huang Xiaolong thought.
At this ti, everyone had taken their seats.
The Ascending Dragon Martial Arts Tournant had been forced to co to a halt.
Xuanyuan Zhou glanced at Xuanyuan Ba before collecting himself. Then he stood up, his gaze sweeping across the room.
Everyone knew Xuanyuan Zhou was about to speak, so they held their breath, pricked up their ears, and looked at him.
“Ladies and gentlen!”
Xuanyuan Zhou spoke loudly, “This year, our Huaxia ancient martial arts circle’s grandest event, the Ascending Dragon Martial Arts Tournant, is the premier martial eting for the younger generation to shine. However… now the tournant has co to a temporary close, and there is sothing even more important that our Xuanyuan Family needs to announce to everyone! This matter, concerns the lifeline of our Huaxia ancient martial arts! It also relates to everyone’s future, so please listen carefully!”
“Son-in-law, why do I sll a plot brewing?” Ying Xiao frowned, his complexion fluctuating.
Huang Xiaolong smiled aningfully. “Perhaps, this year’s Ascending Dragon Martial Arts Tournant was, from the start, a carefully planned conspiracy. Heh heh~~~”
At these words, the Ying Family’s faces were filled with shock and unease!
Xuanyuan Zhou continued, “The ancient martial arts of Huaxia have a long and storied history! Which of our ancestors, from Emperor Qin to the Han, did not establish their kingdoms with martial might? But why has ancient martial arts declined in modern tis? Take our Xuanyuan Family, for instance; in our most prosperous historical period, we carried on incredibly powerful ancient martial arts traditions, but now, nearly all inheritances have been cut off… with only remnants left! I believe all of you here have a sense of this, as your own family legacies have likely dwindled to a re tenth of what they once were!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded silently.
“The decline of ancient martial arts, one might fear, stems from a lack of unity among the various ancient martial sects and families, everyone harboring their own agendas, internal strife and deceit within their ranks. As the saying goes, ‘united we stand strong, together we grow powerful, together our vitality thrives, and together our hearts remain resolute’… Conversely, if we divide and beco like loose sand, our eventual demise is but assured!”
“Now, the top ten ancient martial families of Huaxia have managed to retain at least a fraction of the legacy our ancestors left us. But what about ten years from now? A hundred years from now? I fear our legacies will eventually face extinction! And with that, the ancient martial arts of Huaxia will co to an end, dissipating like smoke in the wind!”
“To sum it all up, it cos down to one word—’Unity’!”
Xuanyuan Zhou’s eyes glead intently. “In fact, the reason we have gathered all the great families here in this Ancient City, in the secret realm of the Kunlun Sect, is to discuss one matter—unification!”
“Our ten great ancient martial families of Huaxia should unite as one, setting aside our differences! Only then can we truly revive and glorify our ancient martial arts!”
Finally, Xuanyuan Zhou had revealed the true purpose of this year’s Ascending Dragon Martial Arts Tournant—the unification of Huaxia’s ten great ancient martial families!
In an instant, a buzz of discussion erupted over the spectator stands—
“How could we possibly rge? If we rge, won’t our family be obliterated?”
“Impossible! Even in death, we must protect our family’s lineage and honor. After rging, we would live at the rcy of others, becoming soone else’s subjects.”
“The Xuanyuan Family’s ambition is terrifyingly grand… A conspiracy! This is a conspiracy! The old man’s intent is not in his cup!”
“Impossible to rge! If the Xuanyuan Family’s plot succeeds, how would we have the face to et our ancestors in the netherworld?”
…
The atmosphere was starting to get noisy as the representatives of the nine great ancient martial families shook their heads in disbelief, clearly scorning what Xuanyuan Zhou had said.
Just then!
“Silence!!!!!!”
The four middle-aged n seated beside Xuanyuan Ba let out a threatening cry simultaneously. Then, their auras united, and they exploded outward!
Boom~~~~~!!!!!!
A massive field of energy burst forth, causing chaos on the spectator stands around them. People were tumbling over each other, thrown into complete disarray.
