Soul Emperor Martial God

Meteor County.

Xiao Yi sought a seclusion room in the Demon Hunting Hall to heal his wounds.

His status as the Demon Hunting Hall's General Executor was recognized by all Demon Hunting Halls across the continent.

Wherever Xiao Yi went, as long as there was a Demon Hunting Hall,

he could exercise the authority of a General Executor

and receive assistance from that Demon Hunting Hall.

Inside the seclusion room,

Xiao Yi took out a pile of Elixir Elixirs.

Most were for stabilizing his injuries,

apart from those, there were some Perfect Level Vitality Pills.

He crushed the Vitality Pills into powder

and mixed it with Heavenly Returning Pill powder.

He applied it to the wound on his shoulder

and then bandaged it.

In a few days, the wound would heal.

The stark white bones eroded by Youshui appeared severe,

but for a martial artist with exceptional cultivation, it was not too great an impact.

At most, it was an inhuman sensation of pain.

Of course, for Xiao Yi,

pain and injury had long become a part of everyday life.

Having bandaged his wound, Xiao Yi took out the Qiankun Bag he had searched from the corpse of a Black Demon Hall martial artist.

Over a hundred Qiankun Bags, Xiao Yi opened each one.

Inside, apart from a few Elixir Elixirs with concealed auras,

there were some silver taels

and clothes.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

Xiao Yi frowned.

"The people of the Black Demon Hall can't be this poor, right?"

You should know, some of the owners of these Qiankun Bags belonged to the Earth Origin Realm.

Xiao Yi had hoped to recover at least some of what he lost from 'Ice Mountain.'

It seemed now that he would be disappointed.

The last Qiankun Bag belonged to Old Monster Youshui,

the last hope in his arms.

Xiao Yi opened it.

And when he clearly saw what was inside,

his eyes suddenly lit up.

Inside, there were also some Elixir Elixirs with concealed auras

and some silver taels and clothes.

But, beyond that,

there were unexpectedly three Starlight Stones.

Xiao Yi remembered that last time he killed Old Monster Yougu, he acquired two Starlight Stones.

Now, adding them together, he had five.

"Just need one more Starlight Stone and two High Grade Spiritual Artifacts,"

"and the Flame Gloves can be upgraded to Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts."

Xiao Yi felt somewhat expectant.

Having finished everything, Xiao Yi left the seclusion room.

When he stepped out, he realized that it had already turned dark.

Saving the Sword Sect elders' disciples and Sword Master was yesterday's event.

Yesterday, after escorting them to Meteor County,

people were taking turns healing their wounds and restoring their strength.

Xiao Yi went to the seclusion room of the Demon Hunting Hall.

Unknowingly, night had fallen.

Suddenly, a Demon Hunting Hall staff member hurried over.

"General Executor Yi Xiao."

The staff member bowed respectfully and said, "The Commandery Prince has sent an invitation."

"He invites you to attend a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion."

This place was Meteor County,

yet it was not the county seat of Meteor County.

Just a large city on the edge of Meteor County.

Yesterday's incident where 23 Sword Masters were besieged by the Black Demon Hall

was announced this morning.

An attack on the Sword Masters, involving as many as 23 of them,

such a major incident naturally reached the ears of the Commandery Prince of Meteor County very quickly.

Therefore, today the Commandery Prince of Meteor County rushed to this place from the county seat

and stayed at the City Lord's Mansion.

He was hosting a banquet for the 23 Sword Masters, as well as the various Sword Sect elders and disciples.

One reason was to provide a welcome and cleansing from dust for the people.

The second was to give everyone a sense of calm after the shock.

Naturally, as the most significant contributor, Xiao Yi was also on the invitation list.

Xiao Yi nodded.

He didn't like these kinds of banquets,

but since he was free, he minded as well attend.

It was like hustling a free meal.

And making contact with the Commandery Prince of Meteor County was not bad either.

...

Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion,

Xiao Yi found the place already bustling with noise and excitement.

The elders and disciples from various Sword Sects,

over two hundred people, had already arrived.

However, the banquet had not yet started.

Everyone was just sitting around, including the Commandery Prince of Meteor County.

"Executor Yi Xiao, you've finally arrived,"

"everyone has been waiting for you."

A steward from the City Lord's Mansion,

upon sighting Xiao Yi,

hurriedly welcomed him.

Entering the banquet hall,

everyone was sitting straight and proper.

The 23 Sword Masters were seated at the very front.

Following them were the elders from various counties and the disciples.

As soon as Xiao Yi stepped in,

he immediately felt many unfriendly gazes.

"Hmph, a mere youngster,"

"daring to make all the elders wait so long."

"Such airs and graces."

The speaker was a Sword Master from another county.

Sword Master, the most outstanding genius of each county.

Regularly receiving the adoration and attention of thousands.

Always considering oneself as a peerless genius, unmatched in this world.

Yesterday, Purple Flame Yi Xiao undoubtedly stole the spotlight from everyone.

For these usually proud Sword Masters, this naturally caused discomfort in their hearts.

Of course, only a minority of Sword Masters had such thoughts and unfriendly gazes.

The majority of Sword Masters were still grateful for Yi Xiao's life-saving grace from yesterday.

It was just that those few Sword Masters, with their elders and disciples behind them.

Naturally, they all followed their respective Sword Masters.

This made the unfriendly gazes become more abundant.

Xiao Yi felt a wave of embarrassment.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, a middle-aged man seated at the foremost suddenly coughed twice.

He was the Prince of Meteor County.

A Heavenly Origin Third Layer Martial Artist.

"So you are Yi Xiao," he said.

The Prince of Meteor County stood up from his seat.

And unexpectedly approached Xiao Yi.

"It is I," Xiao Yi bowed with his hands clasped together.

"Haha," the Prince of Meteor County heartily slapped Xiao Yi on the shoulder.

The Prince of Meteor County had intended to greet Xiao Yi in this casual manner.

But unluckily, he happened to slap right on Xiao Yi's injured shoulder.

'Hiss.'

Xiao Yi sucked in a breath of cold air.

That wound on his shoulder, even if untouched, was extremely painful.

Not to mention being forcefully slapped by the Prince of Meteor County.

"What's the matter?" the Prince of Meteor County saw Xiao Yi's pained expression and asked.

Xiao Yi's shoulder was covered by his sleeve.

Naturally, he had not noticed the wound.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Yesterday, I fought with Old Monster Youshui."

"Just a student lacking skill, I suffered some injuries."

"Oh?" the Prince of Meteor County asked with concern, "Is it serious?"

"Do you know about Old Monster Youshui's Dark Weak Water?"

"Is the shoulder corroded severely?"

"Do you need me to order someone to treat you?"

"No need," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"I have already treated myself at the Demon Hunting Hall, and now it's not a big issue."

"It just needs some time to recover."

"That's right, I forgot," the Prince of Meteor County laughed.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, aside from being a Martial Arts genius."

"You are also a strong Alchemist."

"I was over-worried."

Xiao Yi showed a look of apology, bowing his hands in respect.

"I have been healing in the seclusion room and was unaware of the Commandery Prince's banquet."

"I did not expect to dampen everyone's spirit."

"I am truly sorry."

"Where are these words coming from?" the Prince of Meteor County laughed heartily.

"Yesterday you saved the Sword Sect Sword Masters as well as the elders and disciples."

"You did a great service."

"Injuring yourself in the process naturally means you need to heal."

"Anyone who dares to speak ill of you, I will not spare them."

Saying this, the Prince of Meteor County glared at those who were previously casting unfriendly looks.

Those Sword Masters and elders quickly withdrew their gazes.

In fact, he himself had held some grievances.

After all, he was the lord of a county, as well as a Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist.

It was naturally uncomfortable to be waiting for a junior like himself.

But after Xiao Yi's explanation, he felt much more comfortable.

His smile grew even more generous.

"That Old Monster Youshui, even I have some difficulty dealing with him."

"But you managed to kill him."

"The youth are to be feared, truly the youth are to be feared."

"Come, come, sit with me."

The Prince of Meteor County warmly pulled Xiao Yi over.

To share the table and banquet with him.

This action caused many onlookers to show envious expressions.

At the banquet, everyone raised their cups in toast, creating a great atmosphere.

When the feast was nearly over.

Suddenly, a series of rumbling noises echoed from outside.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

One after another, brilliant meteors swept magnificently across the sky.

Nights with meteors were not common.

But once they appeared, they would continue for three consecutive nights, with endless meteors.

This was a grand and beautiful spectacle of Meteor County.

The guests, with full bellies and satisfied with wine, found the timing of this meteor shower to be perfect.

Many people put down their bowls and chopsticks to go outside and admire the meteors.

Xiao Yi glanced at the meteors outside and smiled faintly.

Seeing this, the Prince of Meteor County beside him laughed and said, "What, does Yi Xiao find these fancy things interesting too?"

During the shared meal.

The Prince of Meteor County had often conversed with Xiao Yi.

He clearly noticed that Purple Flame Yi Xiao, despite his young age, was a person with an exceptionally mature mind.

Leaving aside Cultivation, just this extraordinary wisdom alone.

He even dared to be certain that as long as Yi Xiao did not fall midway.

He would surely become a super-strong figure, renowned everywhere, in the future.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Not fond of the meteors, just reminded of people by the sight."

Saying this, Xiao Yi clasped his hands towards the Commandery Prince.

"Commandery Prince, please excuse my departure."

"Go ahead," the Prince of Meteor County said generously. "Those Sword Masters and disciples."

"They've already gone out to watch the meteors."

"That's the place for you young people."

"I won't interfere."

Xiao Yi nodded his head and turned to leave.
