Chapter 190 Jiuyou, it’s really time to unify

At the Situ Manor, towering mountains stood like swords, emanating a terrifying sharpness.

It seemed like each mountain was a real blade, making people afraid to approach.

At this moment, in the main hall atop the main peak, the senior members of the sect were gathered, all wearing solemn expressions.

They had already received news from the Spring River Tower. The Cloud Heaven Sect had surrendered to Ye Wuji, and the other twelve sects had been destroyed, including Situ Junyu and several other geniuses.

"Our Situ Manor doesn't dare to dominate the Nine Hades alone. Ye Wuji is too arrogant," an elder exclaimed angrily.

"Ye Wuji is challenging the status of our Situ Manor. We cannot sit idly by," many elders echoed, all believing that Ye Wuji was ignorant of the true strength of their sect.

"The Nine Hades now only have the Upper Three Hades and the Seven Sects. Yet, Ye Wuji is giving the other six sects a chance to surrender. If those six sects truly submit, our Situ Manor may..." At this moment, a black-robed elder spoke, whom Mo Wenjian and Yunxia Immortal could recognize as Vice Sect Master Situ Hongyuan.

With a cultivation base of Saint Warrior Fifth Stage, he wasn't listed on the Imperial Rankings. This was because Situ Hongyuan hadn't made a move in decades, and without engaging with anyone on the Imperial Rankings, he hadn't replaced anyone on the list.

However, this couldn't hide his true strength. Within the Situ Manor, he was second only to Sect Master Situ Bahuang.

His words made many senior members contemplate. Indeed, the other six sects seemed to still have a choice. If they truly surrendered, the Situ Manor would instantly become the target of everyone's attack, and they might have no place to stand in the entire Nine Hades.

"Tai Chu Sect's Mu Yuye is here for a visit."

"Yin Sha Valley's Leng Qiansha is here for a visit."

"Feng Ming Pavilion's Feng Lanyuan..."

"Xuan Ming Sect's Xuan Mingji..."

"Divine Sword Valley's Jian Rongzhi..."

"Ultimate Darkness Mansion's You Wuxi..."

At this moment, six thunderous voices sounded like thunder in the sky above the Situ Manor.

In an instant, the senior members of the Situ Manor showed joy. The fact that the six sect masters were descending at this moment indicated that no one was willing to submit to Ye Wuji.

In the depths of the Situ Manor, a vast pressure emanated. In the main hall, Situ Hongyuan spoke, "The Sect Master is coming out of seclusion. Let's go greet him together."

With that, all the senior members of the Situ Manor rushed out of the main hall to welcome him.

At this moment, a gray-robed old man stood proudly in the sky. Across from him were six figures.

If others were to witness this scene, they would be shocked because these people were the true pinnacle figures of the Nine Hades.

Situ Bahuang, Saint Warrior Sixth Stage, or more accurately, the Sixth Stage of the Communicate Hades Realm, was truly the number one figure in the Nine Hades. His influence had dominated the Imperial Rankings for two hundred years, and no one could shake his position.

"My friend, you must have heard the news from the Spring River Tower," Jian Rongzhi spoke, a peak Fifth Stage of the Communicate Hades Realm, and the top of the Imperial Rankings, was one of Situ Bahuang's most powerful challengers.

"Old man, what's your decision?" You Wuxi spoke, also a peak Fifth Stage of the Communicate Hades Realm, ranked third on the Imperial Rankings.

The Situ Manor, the Divine Sword Valley, and the Ultimate Darkness Mansion were the three strongest sects in the Red Hades. They were the top three sects in the Nine Hades, tracing their roots back to the ancient nobles of the Nine Hades.

At the time of the collapse of the ancient dynasty of the Nine Hades, they had plundered some of the supreme teachings and practiced complete rules.

Of course, only the successive sect masters practiced the complete rules and did not pass them on.

Therefore, Situ Bahuang, Jian Rongzhi, and You Wuxi were the three strongest people in the Nine Hades. Starting a hundred years ago, no one could challenge their positions on the Imperial Rankings.

"Situ Manor has no retreat. How do you decide?" Situ Bahuang responded calmly.

"In the Nine Hades, it's not Ye Wuji's turn to call the shots." Jian Rongzhi sneered.

You Wuxi echoed, "With only the Third Stage of the Saint Warrior realm, wielding artifacts, wanting to dominate the entire Nine Hades is too arrogant."

"I, Leng Qiansha, am willing to fight to the last moment." Leng Qiansha responded. He was at the Fifth Stage of the Saint Warrior realm, ranked fourth on the Imperial Rankings.

Feng Lanyuan, Xuan Mingji, and Mu Yuye also expressed their willingness to fight. The former two were both at the peak of the Fourth Stage of the Saint Warrior realm, ranked fifth and sixth on the Imperial Rankings, respectively. Mu Yuye had just entered the Fourth Stage of the Saint Warrior realm, ranked ninth on the Imperial Rankings.

"Good, let's join forces. Even if the Wuji Palace has dozens of Saint Warriors, they are just like grass." Situ Bahuang said coldly, and everyone in the Situ Manor breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the Situ Manor would not become the target of everyone's attack.

The seven sects joining forces would definitely be many times stronger than the thirteen sects on the Spring River Tower. How could Ye Wuji resist?

"In that case, let's go to the Spring River Tower immediately and kill Ye Wuji." Leng Qiansha proposed.

"No rush." Situ Bahuang shook his head. "The entire Nine Hades is waiting for the end of this storm. Such a good show cannot end so soon. Besides, the most chilling feeling comes from falling from the clouds."

"What do you mean, old man?" You Wuxi asked.

Situ Bahuang said, "Let Ye Wuji be arrogant for three days. After three days, we'll bring him down from the clouds, killing him and shaking the hearts of the Nine Hades."

"Okay, we'll prepare and come to the Spring River Tower in three days!" Jian Rongzhi, You Wuxi, and others agreed and then left.

After the six sect masters left, Situ Hongyuan stepped forward and asked softly, "Big brother, why wait for three days? Why not go today?"

Situ Bahuang looked at the sky and said softly, "The Nine Hades should indeed be unified."

"Big brother, you..." Situ Hongyuan widened his eyes in astonishment, looking at Situ Bahuang.

"Ye Wuji helped us remove many obstacles. Three days later, the Situ Manor will dominate the Nine Hades alone," Situ Bahuang solemnly whispered.

"But..." Situ Hongyuan dared not imagine.

Although the Situ Manor was strong, even if they suppressed Ye Wu

ji and destroyed many sects, it would be extremely difficult to make the other six sects submit.

"I have informed Situ Gucheng. He will return in three days."

After leaving these words behind, Situ Bahuang tore through the space and disappeared on the spot, leaving Situ Hongyuan stunned in place. Then, his expression changed in shock.

Situ Gucheng, Situ Bahuang's son, was the most talented person in the Situ Manor in the past hundred years. His talent even surpassed that of Situ Bahuang.

Fifteen years ago, at the age of seventeen, Situ Gucheng participated in the Wind and Clouds Meeting. He excelled in every trial, sweeping through all obstacles and becoming the youngest champion in the history of the Wind and Clouds Meeting.

After that, Situ Gucheng left the Nine Hades and became a royal consort in an ancient country, flourishing in both martial arts and politics.

From that moment on, Situ Bahuang chose Situ Gucheng as his successor. It was said that Situ Gucheng was already at the Seventh Stage of the Saint Warrior realm now. In that ancient country, he not only served as a royal consort but also held a position of power as a marquis.

"I didn't expect my big brother to use this move ahead of time. It seems that he is extremely wary of Ye Wuji's strength and talent, so he has to advance his plans." Situ Hongyuan murmured softly.

No one in the Nine Hades knew where Situ Gucheng had gone. Perhaps they all thought he had already fallen somewhere.

But who would have thought that Situ Bahuang had been hiding this chess piece all along, waiting for Situ Gucheng to grow rapidly, and then shock the entire Nine Hades.

Three days later, the Situ Manor would surely surprise everyone.
