Soul Emperor Martial God

Outside the Demon Hunting Hall.

Master Xue of Blood Mist Valley suddenly crushed a jade pendant.

Half a day later, an elder arrived, carrying Xue Wushang.

The elder was the Chief Alchemist of Blood Mist Valley and the second most important person there after the Valley Master.

At this moment, Xue Wushang was still acting insane, as if in madness.

Master Xue saw this and his heart ached tremendously.

There was a time when his son was one of the Six Heavenly Pride.

In his early twenties, he already achieved Earth Origin Fourth Layer.

In terms of talent, even the Sword Sect's Sword Hall Chief, Lingg Yu of the Star Shadow Sword, only slightly surpassed him.

Now, not only had he wasted nearly a year's worth of cultivation time, losing the golden period of a Martial Artist's training,

he was also in this miserable state, constantly tormented by Heart Demons.

No wonder Master Xue was so anxious that he would lower his status to personally assassinate a junior.

He was even willing to hand over the treasures from his Universe Ring to save Xue Wushang.

Of course, if it weren't for Xue Wushang being extremely arrogant and reckless before,

leading Blood Mist Valley Assassins to Northern Mountain County to target Xiao Yi,

he wouldn't have been heavily injured by Xiao Yi in his identity as Yi Xiao, leaving him with a psychological scar.

But to return to the matter at hand.

The elder, forcibly suppressing Xue Wushang, entered the Demon Hunting Hall and handed Xue Wushang over to Xiao Yi.

"Save him immediately," Master Xue said coldly.

"Where is the Universe Ring?" Xiao Yi asked, unruffled.

Master Xue's face darkened, but he still took off the Universe Ring from his hand and threw it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi caught it and smiled faintly, "Master Xue, I am aware of the multitude of treasures within Blood Mist Valley."

"Don't try to deceive me; otherwise, if you play tricks, I'll play tricks as well."

Master Xue gritted his teeth and said, "Don't test my patience. If my son Wushang is missing even a hair,"

"I guarantee you, even hiding in the Demon Hunting Hall, you will certainly die."

Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing, taking over Xue Wushang to examine him.

At the same time, he secretly extended his senses into the Universe Ring.

The Universe Ring, in a small place like Northern Mountain County, was a rare treasure.

In the Royal Capital, it was also rare, but not to the point of extinction.

At the very least, this kind of Subspirit Artifact with a vast storage space was owned by nearly every major power.

For a good while, Xiao Yi pretended to be checking on Xue Wushang.

In his heart, however, a smile suddenly surfaced.

"As expected, the last three layers of the Asura Battle Body are carried by Master Xue himself," thought Xiao Yi to himself.

The Asura Battle Body had seven layers in total.

The first four layers were obtained by the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch from a certain ruin.

The first four layers were enough to cultivate to Earth Origin Ninth Layer.

But the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch only cultivated to the Third Layer completion, achieving Xuan Ninth Layer physical strength.

Afterwards, for the rest of his life, he was unable to find the last three layers.

Previously, outside Northern Mountain County, when Xiao Yi killed Elder Xue, he learned that the last three layers of the Asura Battle Body were in the hands of Blood Mist Valley.

At that time, Xiao Yi began to think of ways to obtain them.

He was very clear that such a powerful Cultivation Technique would definitely not be stored in the treasure vault of Blood Mist Valley.

Therefore, even if he infiltrated Blood Mist Valley, he would not be able to obtain it.

It would definitely be carried by the strongest in the valley, the Valley Master himself.

Now it seemed, he was right.

Previously, he had been worried about how to obtain it from the hands of Master Xue of Blood Mist Valley.

He didn't expect that this assassination attempt would give Xiao Yi an opportunity.

Meanwhile, inside the Universe Ring, aside from the last three layers of the Asura Battle Body,

there was also a Mid-grade Primordial Artifact, an heirloom of Blood Mist Valley through the ages.

As well as over a dozen High-level Techniques from Blood Mist Valley's collection.

Lastly, there was a plethora of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all above seventh-grade, with only a few being sixth-grade.

Demon Beast Cores, Demon Beast Essence Blood, and many others were innumerable.

Xiao Yi was overjoyed in his heart, but his face did not show it.

To outsiders, he seemed to be seriously examining Xue Wushang.

After a while, Xiao Yi stopped the examination.

He produced an Elixir Elixir out of thin air and fed it into Xue Wushang's mouth.

It was a Seventh-grade Peak Elixir, the Bodhi Bright Mirror Pill.

The Bodhi Bright Mirror Pill, listed among the rare seventh-grade elixirs, helped a Martial Artist to expel Heart Demons.

In fact, this type of elixir could also be refined by that Chief Alchemist of Blood Mist Valley.

But, being fed by Xiao Yi himself, the effects were significantly different.

After all, Yi Xiao was Xue Wushang's heart demon.

Wait until the Elixir Elixir took effect inside Xue Wushang's body.

"Wake up," Xiao Yi bellowed, and with a palm strike, he aimed at Xue Wushang's head.

Of course, he did not intend to hurt him, but rather to jolt him awake.

"Pu." Xue Wushang suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, which was the congested blood suppressed at the bottom of his heart.

After a while, Xue Wushang groggily woke up.

Upon waking, and seeing Yi Xiao before him, he flew into a rage.

"Bastard, die," Xue Wushang said as a flash of blood-colored light passed through his hands, attacking Xiao Yi.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly and grasped his wrist firmly.

"It seems you have recovered, now scram."

With that, Xiao Yi sent him flying toward the Blood Mist Valley Master with a palm strike.

Xue Wushang was astonished to find that he had no strength to resist in Yi Xiao's hands and was directly blown away.

"Wushang," Master Xue caught Xue Wushang in one move.

"Father," Xue Wushang called out, and then asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"And Master Jin."

Xue Wushang glanced at the elderly man.

Soon, the memories of the past half year, which had been muddled, began to emerge in his mind.

He remembered everything, the torment of the heart demon over the past year.

In the next second, murderous intent was chilling, and his anger was burning.

"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, how ruthless you are," Xue Wushang said, staring coldly at Xiao Yi.

"Father, capture him for me."

"I want to flay his skin, extract his bones, and soak him in the Blood Pool for ten years."

"Those torments must be returned to him a thousandfold."

Upon hearing this, the face of the Blood Mist Valley Master turned ugly.

If he could really capture Yi Xiao, he wouldn't have had to give away the Universe Ring.

In fact, he was also secretly resentful.

If he hadn't blasted Yi Xiao away with a palm strike back then, but captured him immediately, there wouldn't be so many issues now.

Of course, at that time, he, having been injured by Yi Xiao's three-colored flames, was in a rage.

He was also confident that Yi Xiao couldn't escape from the palm of his hand with his own strength.

"Sigh." The Blood Mist Valley Master took a deep breath to calm the fury in his heart.

"Master Jin, please take Wushang back to the valley first."

"Yes," the elder nodded and paid his respects.

Xue Wushang angrily said, "Father, Purple Flame he..."

"I have my own discretion," said Master Xue, cutting him off. "Go back and cultivate well."

The Blood Mist Valley Master's face was grim at the moment.

Xue Wushang was shocked and had no choice but to nod, offering a salute and leaving with the elder.

Now, outside the Demon Hunting Hall, only Master Xue was left.

Xiao Yi sneered, "It seems the Master of Blood Mist Valley does not intend to honor the first agreement we made earlier."

"Hmph," the Blood Mist Valley Master snorted coldly, "You think you can easily get away with blackmailing me for my Universe Ring?"

"If you're capable, then never leave this Demon Hunting Hall."

"I will be waiting for you here," said Master Xue.

With that, he went to stand by himself to the side, hands behind his back.

"Blackmail?" Xiao Yi gave a cold laugh.

"It's fine, if the Master of Blood Mist Valley wants to guard the door of this Demon Hunting Hall, I will not meddle further."

"However, as one of the two top valleys, Blood Mist Valley must be busy with affairs."

"I wonder how long Master Xue can hold out guarding me here?"

Xiao Yi said with a proud laugh, "Indeed, inside the Universe Ring that Master Xue gifted me,"

"is a vast amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, more than enough for my cultivation for quite some time."

"I might as well consider myself in seclusion."

"Ha ha ha ha," with that said, Xiao Yi laughed loudly and turned to leave.

Master Xue stood in place, his face as dark as water.

He was a renowned and powerful figure in the Flame Martial Kingdom, and yet today, he suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of a junior and was played for a fool.

How could he swallow such an insult?

Without capturing Yi Xiao thoroughly, how could he resolve the hatred in his heart?

…

On the other side, Xiao Yi headed for the seclusion room.

As Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall, he was entitled to the Chief Steward's treatment in any branch hall he visited.

Using the seclusion room was a minor matter.
