Soul Emperor Martial God

Under the cover of night, thousands of Flame Martial Guards moved with extreme swiftness.

"Slow down," Elder Huo bellowed, "Flame Guards, since when does the Flame Holy Sect take orders from you?"

"Indeed," the other two elders also shouted, "The Flame Holy Sect, is the Martial Arts Holy Land."

"Admired by countless martial artists, is it something you Flame Guards can just take over?"

"Presumptuous," the previously speaking True Commander snapped coldly.

"Under the heavens, is it not the king's land?"

"We are commanded by the King, within the Flame Martial Kingdom, where can we not govern?"

"Bring them to me, bind them up."

"Yes," several Flame Guards followed orders, stepping forward to bind them.

The three elders from the Flame Holy Sect wanted to resist.

The three True Commanders released their aura simultaneously.

In an instant, the overwhelming aura stirred the entire Flame Holy Sect.

"Such a strong aura, Mid-stage Heavenly Origin?" The three elders of Elder Huo were startled and dared not make any further movements.

Several Flame Guards immediately tied up the three men.

Xiao Yi, watching from the sidelines, nodded slightly.

What bound the three of them was no ordinary thing.

But rather the special Element Locking Chains of the Flame Guards.

The Element Locking Chain had no attack effects, but it was extremely tough.

Once the enemy was bound, it would trigger the prohibitions inside, sealing off Primordial Power.

Once bound, even a Heavenly Origin Realm martial artist would have no hope of escaping.

However, this thing was classified as a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Usually, only the Deputy Commander and above had the authority to use it.

At this time, thousands of Flame Guards quickly took control of every person within the Flame Holy Sect.

Soon, a Flame Guard hurried over.

"Reporting to Commander Yee, we've searched throughout the Flame Holy Sect and have not found Lin Jin's team or the other detained individuals," said the Flame Guard.

"What?" The True Commander furrowed his brows.

That Flame Guard responded, "According to a few disciples of the Flame Holy Sect, they were rescued by the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"Oh?" The commander who spoke first upon hearing this, walked towards Xiao Yi.

"Northern Mountain Sword Master," the commander greeted with a bow of his hands, paying a slight salute.

"Commander Yee," Xiao Yi also greeted with a bow of his hands, returning the salute.

The commander's salute was to acknowledge Xiao Yi's identity as the Strongest Sword Master of the Sword Sect.

Xiao Yi's salute, on the other hand, was in respect to Commander Yee's status.

"Have you seen me before?" Commander Yee asked with a light smile.

"Never," Xiao Yi shook his head, "But I am well aware of the reputation of Commander Yee."

"Even at night, able to cover the aura of thousands of Flame Guards."

"In all of the Flame Guards, the only one capable of such is Commander Yee."

Indeed, this person was Yee Xiu.

The strongest among those under the Great Commander of the Flame Guards, and the foremost among the five True Commanders.

His cultivation reached the Heavenly Origin Sixth Layer.

Every time he made a move, it was under the cover of night.

This shroud of darkness could not only conceal one's figure but also block their aura.

Often before the enemies could react, they would already find themselves surrounded by his Flame Guards.

This man was a legend within the Flame Guards.

Every mission he undertook was never botched.

Xiao Yi took a good look at him.

Noticed that although this person had reached middle age, his facial features were quite refined.

His face always carried a hint of pride.

Presumably, he must have been handsome and unrestrained in his youth.

At this moment, Yee Xiu spoke first, "The detained team of Lin Jin, Chief Steward Zhang Huo of the Demon Hunting Hall, and his Law Enforcement Team."

"Along with tens of thousands of elite martial artists."

"Have they all been rescued by the Northern Mountain Sword Master?"

"Indeed," Xiao Yi nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, they are on their way to the Demon Hunting Hall."

"Good," Yee Xiu smiled satisfactorily, "For this, you should be credited with a major accomplishment."

"As far as I know, aside from your remarkable Sword Dao, your prowess in alchemy is equally surprising."

"That Scorching Fire Pill, do you have a way to remove it from everyone?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "I do."

"Then that is excellent," Yee Xiu smiled once more.

"Leave this place to us to handle, I have another task for you."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi showed a bit of confusion.

Yee Xiu replied, "Several hours ago, the Prince Mansion was attacked."

"The situation seems rather grim."

"When we arrived at the Flame County, we received intelligence and hurried over to rescue."

"Therefore, we only dispatched three squads for support."

"You go and see what the situation is like."

"If it's urgent, send a message back, and we'll rush over as soon as possible."

"If the situation is within your capabilities, resolve it quickly."

"Then return to the base."

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, his figure flashed, and in an instant, he was gone.

...

Gliding through the skies, Xiao Yi's speed soared to the extreme.

Along the way, he caught up with Zhang Huo and others who were fleeing.

Zhang Huo and his group were heading towards the Demon Hunting Hall in Fire Cloud City.

Meanwhile, Yee Xiu and the Flame Martial Guards were coming from a different direction.

Hence, the two groups did not encounter each other.

Xiao Yi glanced at them and noticed they were about to enter Flame City.

In at most half an hour, they could pass through Flame City and return to Fire Cloud City.

The powerful members of the Flame Holy Sect had all been restrained.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would not be in danger.

Thinking this, Xiao Yi continued on his way.

Several hours later, Xiao Yi arrived at the county of Flame County.

From a distance, he could see that the Prince Mansion was ablaze, clearly having been through a great battle.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Within ten seconds, Xiao Yi arrived above the Prince Mansion.

The sudden surge of his imposing aura gave the Martial Artists inside the Prince Mansion a shock.

"Damn, is it another rabble from the Flame Holy Sect?" A few Martial Artists said, angered.

Xiao Yi descended and found that the battle had long ended.

Inside the mansion, the three squads of the Flame Martial Guard, each led by a Captain Level, with a combined number of over a hundred, were all injured.

At this moment, the strong practitioners from the Prince Mansion, thinking an unwelcome guest had come, crowded around.

"Wait." Suddenly, someone let out an exclamation.

"Don't be rash; this is one of our Flame Martial Guards."

One of them spoke and approached, it was Lin Mu, one of the Flame Martial Guard Captains in charge of reinforcement here.

"Captain Xiao Yi." Lin Mu greeted with a cupped fist salute.

"Captain Lin Mu." Xiao Yi returned the gesture.

"I am here by order of Commander Yee to support the Prince Mansion."

"What is the current situation?"

Lin Mu answered, "Half a day ago, the Prince Mansion was attacked by the Flame Holy Sect, and there were countless casualties."

"However, a couple of hours ago, the two leading elders seemed to have encountered some issues and retreated in haste."

"The Flame Holy Sect withdrew, and the Prince Mansion is temporarily safe."

"But the Flame County Prince is severely injured, and his life and death are uncertain."

"His subordinates, the Pharmacists, are trying to save him."

"I see." Xiao Yi nodded in understanding.

No wonder when he was blocking Elder Huo from the Flame Holy Sect earlier, no reinforcements had come.

It turned out that those two elders had actually come to attack the Prince Mansion.

Additionally, the masked elite, who was the Sword Sect Fourth Elder, did not show up this time?

Xiao Yi speculated that the arrival of the three leaders of the Flame Martial Guard must have deterred him.

While Xiao Yi was pondering,

Suddenly, a series of exclaims rose from the mansion.

"It's bad; the Commandery Prince's injuries are too severe, even Master Mu is helpless."

An old man who looked like a steward came out and then approached Lin Mu and others.

"Captains of the Flame Martial Guard, do you have any working Pharmacists at your base who can come to help?"

Lin Mu frowned and said, "Master Mu is a Seventh-grade Pharmacist."

"If he is helpless, even if we do have Pharmacists at our base, I'm afraid..."

"Let me take a look," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

"You?" The steward sized up Xiao Yi with a frown.

"So young, what grade of Pharmacist are you, fourth-grade or fifth-grade?"

"Better you just stay here and don't go in to disturb Master Mu."

...

Third update.
