Soul Emperor Martial God

"Is something the matter?" Xiao Yi frowned as he looked toward Zhou Yueyao, who was rushing over.

Zhou Yueyao took out a Qiankun Bag.

"This is the spoils of war from the last beast tide in Nine River County."

"By the order of my master, I have specially brought it to you."

Xiao Yi didn't accept it and said, "No effort, no reward."

"The demon beasts that I myself killed last time."

"I have already received the spoils of war."

"The rest were all killed by the Martial Artists of Nine River County."

"No need to give them to me."

Zhou Yueyao's face fell.

"My master's order, I dare not disobey."

"Are you still holding a grudge about last time?"

"Not at all," Xiao Yi shook his head.

Ye Ming, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Take it back."

"Brother Yi is a Martial Artist with great awareness of righteousness."

"He won't bother over minor grievances with a young girl like you."

In Ye Ming's eyes, Yi Xiao was a Martial Artist with great awareness of righteousness.

During the East Desolate Beast Tide, he alone stood against the tide of beasts.

The second Beast Tide, he again ventured alone into the Demon Beast Forest and killed the Old Monster Yougu.

After that, the successive beast tides of various counties.

Yi Xiao had also spared no effort.

Such a Martial Artist was truly aware of righteousness and deserved respect.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, Liu Yanran laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Ming asked with confusion.

Liu Yanran laughed and said, "Elder Brother Ye Ming, you are too rigid and do not understand the ways of the world."

"If Brother Yi is merely verbally declining."

"But actually wants it?"

"In saying this, aren't you cutting off Brother Yi's retreat?"

The Nine River County Beast Tide had many Earth Origin Realm and Mystic Breakthrough Realm demon beasts.

The combined Demon Beast Cores and Essence Blood were no small fortune.

No one would not be tempted.

Xiao Yi was no exception.

But he did not want to get entangled with the people of Nine River County.

These spoils of war, he might as well not take.

If he did,

who knows what trouble might arise in the future.

"Uh," Xiao Yi was somewhat at a loss for words.

Zhou Yueyao said, "From your words, Purple Flame, you do want them, don't you."

Saying this, she forcibly stuffed the Qiankun Bag into Xiao Yi's hand.

"In this way, we are even."

"The misunderstanding from last time is also resolved."

Zhou Yueyao continued speaking on her own.

Xiao Yi frowned.

"Alright, I will accept these spoils of war."

"If Nine River County needs my help in the future."

"Just come and find me."

Xiao Yi said, accepting the Qiankun Bag.

"I actually need help with something right now," Zhou Yueyao quickly said.

"Go ahead," Xiao Yi nodded.

Zhou Yueyao hesitated for a moment.

Her demeanor was that of childish infatuation.

Which gave Xiao Yi a bad premonition.

"Well, could you…" Zhou Yueyao stammered.

"Could you… take off your mask and let me see?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback and asked, "Is that what you really want to see, my face under the mask?"

"Yes, I'd really like to see," Zhou Yueyao hurriedly nodded.

"I want to see as well," Liu Yanran said.

Previously, Liu Yanran thought that the well-known Purple Flame Yi Xiao.

Must be a person who was decisive in killing and extremely ruthless.

And also not good at conversation, difficult to become close with.

Now it seems that was not the case.

"No need to look," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"My appearance is no different from ordinary people."

"If you press on, I might as well return this Qiankun Bag."

Xiao Yi said, taking out the bag he had just accepted.

"Never mind," Zhou Yueyao quickly waved it off, not pressing further.

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

Silence fell for a moment.

Ye Ming said, "With such a beautiful night of falling stars, why don't we all drink and have fun today."

"Getting to know each other a bit would be good as well."

Saying so, Ye Ming took out several bottles of wine and handed them to Zhou Yueyao, Liu Yanran, and Mu Miaomiao.

The five of them drank and chatted freely.

Before long, they began to speak their minds.

Of course, except for Xiao Yi, who occasionally glanced at the meteor high in the sky.

Conversely, the three ladies engaged in an animated conversation.

"Brother Yi," Ye Ming suddenly said.

"I came to Meteor County originally to inquire about Junior Brother Xiao Yi."

"You are the Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall."

"Could you help me inquire?"

As soon as he said this.

Liu Yanran immediately stopped her conversation with the other two.

And looked toward Xiao Yi.

"Brother Yi, with your great abilities, it shouldn't be hard to find someone," Liu Yanran said, her face showing concern.

"Xiao Yi? Is he the Northern Mountain Sword Master?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Yes," Ye Ming and Liu Yanran nodded at the same time.

"Rest assured," Xiao Yi responded.

"He is fine, according to the intelligence from the Demon Hunting Hall."

"He has already crossed Meteor County and headed for the Royal Capital."

"Really?" Liu Yanran was elated.

"That's good. This way, he hasn't been besieged by the Black Demon Hall."

"Don't worry, he hasn't," Xiao Yi nodded.

"The intelligence from the Demon Hunting Hall is reliable."

At this moment, Zhou Yueyao asked curiously from the side.

"Who is Xiao Yi?"

Mu Miaomiao hurriedly answered, "Of course, he's the love of Junior Sister Yanran's heart."

"Is he handsome? Very strong?" Zhou Yueyao asked with great interest.

"Mhm," Liu Yanran nodded her head.

Xiao Yi, standing by, let out a wry smile.

He certainly had no interest in listening to three women discuss him.

"Ye Ming, let's go drink on the side." Xiao Yi suggested.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ming asked.

"It's not very nice to eavesdrop on others' private discussions," Xiao Yi replied.

"We don't mind," Zhou Yueyao grabbed Xiao Yi.

Zhou Yueyao seemed straightforward.

She had a pleasant personality.

At least in her interactions with others at the same level, she wasn't overly arrogant.

As for the previous misunderstanding.

She fussed over her beloved younger brother.

That was within reason.

Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't fuss over such trifles with her.

As they were speaking, the third round of drinks passed.

Everyone shifted the topic of conversation.

Martial Artists naturally prioritize Martial Arts.

They began to discuss Martial Arts with each other.

...

When midnight arrived.

The meteor shower was still ongoing.

But it was late, and the five of them parted ways.

At the same time, they circulated the True Qi in their bodies, and the alcohol was immediately dispersed.

Xiao Yi had just intended to leave the City Lord's Mansion.

Suddenly a servant approached him and said,

"General Executor Yi Xiao, the Commandery Prince requests your presence."

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, puzzled.

In the middle of the night, what did the Prince of Meteor County want with him?

Shaking his head, Xiao Yi didn't think too much about it.

He followed the servant.

The Prince of Meteor County had already been waiting in a rear courtyard inside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Commandery Prince," said Xiao Yi, giving him a polite bow.

"You're here," the Prince of Meteor County greeted him with a hearty smile.

"I wonder, Commandery Prince, what matter requires my presence at this late hour?" Xiao Yi inquired.

"Ha ha, straightforward and to the point, I like it," the Prince of Meteor County remarked.

"Then I shall not beat around the bush either."

"The Martial Arts Ice Crystal is in your possession, right?"

The Black Demon Hall's attack on various Sword Sect Sword Masters and elders and its cause.

He was naturally well aware of it.

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Don't worry," the Prince of Meteor County smiled, "I'm not coveting that item."

"I just want to tell you,"

"The Martial Arts Ice Crystal is a treasure."

"Especially since it now contains 23 Sword Master inheritances."

"Moreover, it's already saturated with blood, ready to be activated at any moment."

"This item's value is immeasurable."

"The Black Demon Hall will absolutely not let you off."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I've long had grievances with them; this won't be the first."

The Prince of Meteor County suddenly grew serious and said in a stern voice, "Let me finish speaking, the situation is not as simple as you think."

"As far as I know, the Martial Arts Ice Crystal has another effect."

"It is greatly beneficial to Martial Artists above the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm."

"What exactly it does, I'm not entirely sure."

"But, for the Black Demon Hall to go to such lengths."

"Provoking beast tides in various counties and attacking Sword Masters from various Sword Sects."

"If I am not mistaken, they definitely covet this particular effect."

"So, the Black Demon Hall will absolutely not let you off."

"From now on, those who pursue you will surely be seasoned powerhouses from the Heavenly Origin Realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi's brows tightly knitted together.

So far, he had only killed Martial Artists of the First Layer of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

But if they were seasoned Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists.

Not to mention the Seventh Layer, even those above the Third Layer.

Their cultivation and power would be fearsomely immense.

Far beyond what he could handle now.

"Thank you for your warning, Commandery Prince," Xiao Yi replied gravely.

The Prince of Meteor County waved his hand and said, "This time, you have greatly helped me."

"If the 23 Sword Masters were to be harmed under my watch."

"That would have been troublesome for me."

"If you encounter any troubles in the future."

"Feel free to seek me out."

"Consider it this prince's gratitude for your help in this matter."

"Thank you, Commandery Prince," Xiao Yi nodded.

...

Xiao Yi conversed with the Prince of Meteor County for a while.

Then he left.

The night passed without incident.

The next day.

Sword Masters and elder disciples from various Sword Sects headed for the Royal Capital.

This time, the Prince of Meteor County personally escorted them.

A grand procession made its way to the Royal Capital.

...

...

Second update.
