Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 1260: The Five Major Powers of the Northern Territory


Ye Xiao was immediately surprised and equally delighted upon hearing Jiang Wulu's words. Clearly, at this moment, if Ye Xiao were to cultivate alone, it would be difficult to quickly improve his strength. To continue enhancing his power, there is only one way: to quickly find the sixth scroll of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. If he could find the complete Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ye Xiao could reach an unimaginable level of strength in the shortest amount of time, even surpassing the Earth Rank.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Senior, do you know where the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Book are?"

"As far as I know, there are two scrolls in the Northern Territory!" Jiang Wulu said, "However, only one scroll's specific location is known."

"I am just planning to go to the Northern Territory, isn't that just perfect?" Ye Xiao said.

"Ye Xiao, your current strength, I mean, can you truly exert Earth Rank strength without entering the Mad God State?" Jiang Wulu looked at Ye Xiao and asked seriously.

Upon hearing Jiang Wulu's words, Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Senior, I can't really describe my current strength with words. I can only say that I think I should be able to go to the Northern Territory."

"The Northern Territory is not as simple as you think. It's not like you can just go there and come back easily." Jiang Wulu said, "Back in the day, your father's famous battle was when he secured the top of the Dragon List. Now, after twenty years of silence, the Dragon List will reappear, and countless martial artists are gathering in the Northern Territory. If you go there..."

"Is the senior worried that I can't handle it?" Ye Xiao said, "To be honest, I really don't know whether I can handle it, but no matter what, I must go to the Northern Territory. As you said, revenge is not something that can be accomplished in a short time, and now, there is another matter in front of me that must be achieved immediately, so I must go to the Northern Territory, no matter what kind of dragon's den and tiger's lair it is, I must go!"

Jiang Wulu said, "It seems this is an extremely important matter, otherwise you wouldn't be so determined."

"Please forgive me, senior!" Ye Xiao said apologetically.

Jiang Wulu waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Actually, these are all your own affairs. Your mind is incomparable, and you have once trained abroad, renowned for meticulous thinking. I believe you understand what should be done and what shouldn't. Since you are determined to go to the Northern Territory, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book fragment that I know."

When Ye Xiao heard that Jiang Wulu was about to reveal the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book fragment, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, senior!"

Jiang Wulu said, "No need to thank me. I'm just telling you what you should know. The reason I haven't told you until now is because I feared you would act too hastily. Remember, in the world of martial artists, there is no reasoning, everything is determined by strength."

"I will remember." Ye Xiao nodded and said.

Then Jiang Wulu said, "There are five major forces in the Northern Territory, or you could call them the five great families. Each of these families is more powerful than the combined strength of the eight great families of Bird City."

Ye Xiao had heard of the five great families in the Northern Territory, but he hadn't expected their strength to be so formidable, and he didn't even know who these five families were.

Jiang Wulu continued, "These five families are the Chu, Wei, Hong, Su, and Tang families. In reality, the ones with truly decisive positions are the Chu, Wei, and Hong families. In recent years, the Su and Tang families have somewhat declined compared to the top three, but even so, the Su and Tang families are still incredibly powerful, plus these five families are backed by martial arts sects."

"Martial arts sects?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao was greatly shocked and immediately said, "But as far as I know, martial arts sects are not supposed to interfere in worldly disputes."

"While that may be said, let me ask you, do martial arts sects need food? Where do those provisions come from? Look at the temples across the world; are they still the traditional temples of the past?" Jiang Wulu said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately understood.

Yes!

Without commerce, there is no harm. In today's society, whether you are a noble martial artist or an ordinary mundane person, you cannot escape the word 'worldly'.

In fact, doesn't Qiu Mountain have some businesses in the secular world? They say it's for the livelihood of the disciples of the Qiu Mountain Sect, but when have martial artists ever made a loss in business? And without using some underhanded tactics, how could they manage to always make a profit and never a loss?

Jiang Wulu continued, "So, you must be especially careful, and the location of that Heavenly Book fragment is within the Wei family. No matter where the Heavenly Book fragment is, it is a supreme treasure, so whether this Heavenly Book fragment is within the Wei family or in the hands of factions behind them, that's beyond my knowledge."

Clearly, the situation is quite serious!

If it were an ordinary family, Ye Xiao might still be able to rely on his strength to seize it.

But what if there's a martial sect backing them? What right would Ye Xiao have to say he has the absolute strength to seize it? Perhaps, failing to seize it would result in his destruction.

If it were in the past, Ye Xiao might have acted recklessly, but now? He absolutely cannot be too impulsive because he still needs to seek vengeance. Like the Heavenly Book and Mad God Skill that belonged to Ye Xiao from birth, this burden of revenge has also rested on his young shoulders since he was born.

No way around it, helplessly, Ye Xiao can only tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice!

"Senior, I keep this in mind, at least I promise to return alive." Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Wulu, earnestly saying.

Jiang Wulu smiled slightly and said, "Good, very good, I look forward to you returning alive. I also hope you can successfully obtain the Heavenly Book and, likewise, when you return, can easily and smoothly defeat me!"

Listening to Jiang Wulu's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly.

He knew that Jiang Wulu was not mocking, but encouraging him!

Jiang Wulu is a master of the highest rank, his strength naturally above Ye Xiao's, but if Ye Xiao could successfully defeat Jiang Wulu, what would that signify? Ye Xiao's strength would have reached a new level.

"I'll do my best!" Ye Xiao said, "Let's leave it at that. I must immediately leave here for the Northern Territory, and I hope the Jiang family can take care of my friends in Bird City."

"The way things are when you leave is the way they will be when you come back. If there is a change, it will only be for the better!" Jiang Wulu said earnestly to Ye Xiao.
