Soul Emperor Martial God

"Hmph, coming alone?"

"Here to seek death?"

A strong figure from Heavenly King Mountain sneered coldly.

Only the elder, the Heavenly King Mountain Master, squinted his eyes, "Is it you?"

"Hui Wushi."

"Oh?" Hui Deacon let out a soft exclamation, "Someone actually recognizes me?"

The elder sneered, "Those young ones not recognizing you is understandable."

"But having lived this long, if I still couldn't recognize Hui Wushi, wouldn't that be a joke?"

"Hui Wushi?" The surrounding strongmen of Heavenly King Mountain's faces changed, "Could it be..."

"It's him." The elder interrupted, affirming.

"Is it really him?" The surrounding strongmen widened their eyes, "The former Killing God of the Central Region?"

"The former chief instructor of the Heavenly Nether Mansion?"

"Wasn't it said that he died decades ago?"

"No." The Black Poison Saint King said deeply, "I heard that he suddenly disappeared decades ago."

"Heh." The Heavenly King Mountain Master stared coldly at Hui Deacon, "The great Hui Wushi, who vanished for decades, only to become a dog for the Black Cloud Academy."

"Haha." Hui Deacon shrugged, "Now, I'm just an ordinary deacon in the Academy, guiding disciples when I have time."

The Heavenly King Mountain Master smiled, "I don't care who you are, this is Heavenly King Mountain, it's not your place to act wildly."

As the words fell, whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

From the back of Heavenly King Mountain, figures with astonishing auras shot out swiftly.

In just a moment, dozens of strong figures had surrounded the area.

Hui Deacon gripped the iron rod in his hand and shook his head.

...

Several days later, at the Black Cloud Academy.

Within the disciple's resting area.

"Ugh." Xiao Yi opened his eyes, immediately feeling intense pain throughout his body.

He glanced around; he was lying on a bed, in the disciple's resting room.

"Awake?" A familiar old voice sounded.

Xiao Yi looked over, seeing the Vice Dean fiddling with some kind of medicine sticker.

"Vice Dean." Xiao Yi struggled to sit up.

"No need to sit up, keep resting." The Vice Dean chuckled softly.

Xiao Yi nodded, "I'm already fine, no need to rest anymore."

"Hmm? But was it Hui Deacon who saved us? And where is Qing Lin?"

The Vice Dean shook his head, "You rascal, just woke up and already asking questions."

"Indeed, it was Hui Deacon who saved you."

"Both of you kids have commendable physical fortitude."

"Enduring a full-force palm from a Martial Arts Emperor, not only did you survive, but you woke in just a few days."

"Qing Lin woke up two hours ago and has already run off."

"That's good." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Good?" The Vice Dean's expression hardened, "Such a dangerous place like Heavenly King Mountain, yet you dared to venture there?"

"We had no choice." Xiao Yi smiled bitterly, "If we didn't go, Tong Ye and the others were doomed."

"By the way, what about Heavenly King Mountain? Aren't they going to enforce those warrants in the future?"

"Warrants?" The Vice Dean smirked playfully, "In the Black Cloud Region, there is no more Heavenly King Mountain."

"What?" Xiao Yi was shocked.

At this moment, the Vice Dean stopped what he was doing and placed down a medicine sticker.

"This medicine sticker should heal you completely."

"Since you are awake, there's no need for me to stay."

With that, the Vice Dean turned and left.

Xiao Yi stretched his muscles, sat up from the bed, and looked at the medicine sticker, his face showed surprise again, "Holy Medicine Sticker."

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a light breath, shook his head, left the room, and caught up with the Vice Dean.

"What is it?" The Vice Dean looked at Xiao Yi, who caught up, in confusion.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "My injuries are fine now, no need to rest."

"I came to see the Vice Dean to hand in the previous task and to pick up some tasks before leaving."

"Leaving?" The Vice Dean frowned, "Can't you stay put for a few days?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Idling is boring."

"Alright then." The Vice Dean nodded, suddenly smiled, "This time, you're eager to take on tasks."

"I guess Qing Lin must have told you about our Academy's matters."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi was puzzled, "You mean these Academy tasks?"

The Vice Dean nodded, "Originally, I hoped you could slowly hone your skills through these tasks, slowly understanding the Academy on your own."

"However, when I received news that you and Qing Lin were being hunted by Heavenly King Mountain."

"I knew there was no need. Qing Lin is quite a big mouth; he probably told you everything."

"Qing Lin is a big mouth?" Xiao Yi was a bit stunned.

"Alright." The Vice Dean took out the Task Scroll in frustration, "Pick a task slowly yourself and return the Task Scroll to another deacon afterward."

"Oh, by the way, the tasks you and Qing Lin completed these days, the rewards and task points have all been confiscated."

"Confiscated?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

The Vice Dean glared at Xiao Yi, "Do you think deploying so many deacons and strong figures from the Academy to save you two doesn't consume effort?"

"You think the Martial Arts Teachers in the Academy are idle?"

"The rewards for your tasks have all been given to the Academy mentors who helped this time."

Xiao Yi nodded, "I see, alright then."

Those task rewards were just a trivial matter.

It was only fair to give something in return to the Academy seniors who saved them.

"Alright, pick a task at your leisure and return the Task Scroll to another deacon once done," said the Vice Dean, then turned and left.

Xiao Yi nodded, seriously reading the Task Scroll.

Just as the Vice Dean hadn't walked far, a figure hurriedly arrived.

"Damn it, Xiao Yi, don't listen to that Old Fox."

"I asked Hui Deacon, he was the only one who came to save us, where were the others."

"That Old Fox swallowed our rewards."

The person who came was Qing Lin.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi was a bit stunned.

"So what if it is?" The Vice Dean turned around, glaring at Qing Lin.

"Daring to venture into Heavenly King Mountain, this time counts as a punishment."

"Next time, if you're so reckless, I'll throw you into confinement to reflect."

With that, the Vice Dean walked away without looking back.

Qing Lin stomped his feet in anger, "That old guy, swallows our rewards and then justifies it, such thick skin."

Xiao Yi just smiled, not caring much.

"Wait, that's not right." Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yi and seemed to remember something, quickly chasing after the Vice Dean.

"What now, want a beating?" The Vice Dean said coldly.

"No." Qing Lin shook his head, "Old guy, let's forget about those rewards."

"We planned to use those task points to exchange for guidance time."

"Xiao Yi's martial arts practice has a major problem, he can't afford to delay."

"A major problem?" The Vice Dean looked at Qing Lin's serious face, frowning.

"Yes." Qing Lin nodded, seriously said, "That guy doesn't know what martial arts he's practicing, last time's heart demon was terrifying."

"How terrifying?" The Vice Dean asked.

Qing Lin replied, "Completely lost rationality, murderous intent overflowed, almost killed me."

The Vice Dean's expression changed immediately, looking gravely at Xiao Yi.
