Soul Emperor Martial God

"I suppose the young master isn't here to spend a delightful night with this humble girl," Meng Luo said as she stood up, her voice taking on a cold tone.

"Young master, please leave."

"The one million taels will be fully returned to you."

Xiao Yi's expression also turned cold, "It seems that without a lesson, you are unwilling to tell the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking,

several strands of Sword Qi flew from Xiao Yi's hands.

In an instant, Meng Luo's garments were completely shredded.

Except for a few crucial areas, her body was nearly bare.

"Ah..." Meng Luo let out an alarmed cry, hastily trying to cover herself.

However, her attempts at covering herself proved futile.

Her veil was already broken, revealing an exceptionally beautiful face.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, lifting a finger and raising the Sword Qi.

Immediately, every light in the room extinguished.

The room plunged into darkness.

"This is only a warning," Xiao Yi said coldly.

"If you don't tell the truth now, next time my Sword Qi will strike your body."

"Your end will be like those garments."

"The pain, akin to being sliced by a thousand knives, is something you probably can't endure," he threatened.

"What exactly do you wish to know?" Meng Luo, clutching her body, had an expression filled with shame, anger, and a hint of pity.

Xiao Yi's expression was steady; he didn't glance at her, merely sitting at the table and casually lifting his cup to sip the wine.

"Start with how your Spring Breeze Square and Joy Building caused those people to disappear."

"And how you evaded suspicion."

Meng Luo, drawing comfort from the dimness, stealthily glanced at Xiao Yi.

She couldn't comprehend how, with her stunning beauty and current dire state,

the young man before her could not be bothered to spare her even a single glance.

"What are you staring at?" Xiao Yi slightly turned his head, asking with a cold voice.

"Ah," Meng Luo let out another startled cry, hastily said, "Turn your head back."

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, turned his head back, and once again started gazing at the exquisite food and wine on the table, taking another sip.

Biting her lip, Meng Luo said, "My Martial Soul has a bewitching effect."

"When at the Spring Breeze Square, my music can slowly invade visitors' minds and plant commands within them."

"The command activates three days later."

"These people will then go on their own accord to a place three hundred miles outside the city, where someone will capture them."

"The fact that it takes three days, rather than an immediate disappearance, is enough to clear Spring Breeze Square of any suspicions."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded and continued his inquiry, "The visitors to your Spring Breeze Square aren't all Martial Artists."

"Capturing Martial Artists is one thing."

"But those ordinary young masters don't have much strength; capturing them wouldn't be worth as much as commoners."

Meng Luo gritted her teeth and said, "These people all have powerful backers."

"When they disappear, the forces behind them will send a great number of Martial Artists to rescue them."

"It's safe to say, to capture one of them is to ensnare a large group of Martial Artists with considerable Cultivation."

"I see," Xiao Yi suddenly understood.

"Those Martial Artists were attacked and then disappeared three hundred miles outside the city."

"And no one could trace it back to your Spring Breeze Square."

"The Joy Building uses similar methods, I assume."

"Yes," Meng Luo nodded.

"I've answered truthfully; now you can let me go, young master."

She had always been answering truthfully and had not lied.

She was very aware that in the presence of a truly powerful individual's perception, any lie would cause fluctuations in her aura.

She couldn't imagine how this ruthless young man would treat her if he became angry.

"Do you know what happened to those people after they were taken away?" Xiao Yi asked again.

"I don't know," Meng Luo shook her head.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi's brows furrowed.

"I really don't know," Meng Luo said urgently.

"Heh," Xiao Yi let out a mild laugh, "It seems I've already asked everything that you should know."

"As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Xiao Yi's hand, and a large robe manifested out of thin air."

The robe gently draped over Meng Luo's body.

Meng Luo's hands were still crossed in front of her to prevent any accidental revelations.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi slightly tightened a few buttons of the robe for her.

Meng Luo's face turned red; she realized that the man in front of her was actually quite handsome and attractive when he wasn't frowning.

Under the night sky and the moonlight, combined with his casual and lazy aura, he was even more irresistible.

Feeling his warmth so close, she couldn't help but have her thoughts race and her heart flutter.

But the next second, she immediately came back to her senses.

"What exactly do you want to do, young master?" Meng Luo asked with annoyance.

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "The lady seems to have forgotten what I said earlier. That one million taels, it was worth it."

"Because, the lady will probably have to spend more than just one night with me."

"You…" Meng Luo instantly became furious.

"Young master, don't you push me too far."

As she spoke, Meng Luo glanced at the cup on the table.

"Did the young master drink the 'Soul-hooking Wine'?"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly changed, emitting a strange light.

Xiao Yi's mind wavered for a moment, but then he quickly steadied his thoughts.

"How could it be? You drank the 'Soul-hooking Wine', and you can still resist my soul-bewitching?" Meng Luo's stunning face was full of surprise.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "If I knew there was 'Soul-hooking Poison' in the wine and still dared to drink it, of course, I would not take it seriously."

A mere fifth-grade poison, Xiao Yi couldn't be bothered to pay it any mind.

"It's your Martial Soul that is interesting, actually being the rare 'Charming Demon Fox'."

The 'Charming Demon Fox,' belonging to the Blue Rank.

"Nevermind," Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "Lady, just follow me on this trip."

"To where?" Meng Luo's face changed.

"The lady will know soon enough," Xiao Yi said indifferently, while his hand sent out several Sword Qi.

The watchmen outside the room were instantly killed.

Soon, startled by the noise, a middle-aged woman rushed over.

"Murder... There's been a murder..."

Inside the room, Xiao Yi scooped up Meng Luo and his figure leapt away.

All that was left was a faint phrase at the scene.

"If you want to save Meng Luo, come to three hundred miles outside the city."

...

Outside Spring Breeze City.

A figure flew through the air, moving so fast as if breaking through the vast sky.

In the embrace of the figure was a petite figure.

At this moment, the petite figure showed a face full of terror. How swift was this guy's speed, and what kind of power did he possess?

Not long after, the figure stopped three hundred miles outside the city.

It was indeed Xiao Yi and Meng Luo.

"Young master, are you trying to lure out the people behind me?" Meng Luo asked with an ugly expression.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Meng Luo said in a deep voice, "Does the young master know the kind of power behind me?"

"I'll tell the young master the truth, they are not someone you can afford to provoke."

Xiao Yi shrugged and said lightly, "Then there's no need for the lady to worry about me."

...

Time passed, and only two hours had gone by.

In the distance, a figure was flying over at high speed.

The figure landed, and it was a woman in her early thirties, beautiful and with an imposing aura.

Clearly, she was a Martial Artist of noteworthy Cultivation.

"Master," Meng Luo saw the woman and immediately felt overjoyed, calling out to her.

The woman nodded and looked towards Xiao Yi, "May I know who you are, and why have you abducted my disciple?"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, "I would also like to ask, who are you?"

"Why are you abducting people in Spring Breeze City on such a large scale?"

"That's none of your business," the woman said coldly, her surging True Qi bursting forth.

...

The fourth update. (To make up for yesterday's missed updates).
