Soul Emperor Martial God

Leaving the base, Xiao Yi traversed the entire Fierce Tiger County.

While in the dungeon at the base, he had already preliminarily interrogated those Sect Leaders.

According to Meng Lianhua and Meng Luo, their disciples from Lianhua Sect were responsible for bewitching and luring Martial Artists out of the city.

This task was managed by ordinary disciples in about a dozen nearby cities.

Spring Breeze City, second only to the county capital, was managed by Meng Luo, the Young Sect Master.

Martial Artists who were bewitched left the city and traveled about three hundred li.

Then, people from other Sect Leaders would take these Martial Artists to the Warrior Sect.

Although these Sect Leaders had been captured and taken to the Flame Martial Guard Prison,

their disciples were still unaware, at most thinking that they had been captured by people from the Star Alliance.

And these disciples would probably continue to kidnap others as usual.

Xiao Yi didn't have the leisure to deal with these disciples for now.

Of course, there was no need to.

The place at Warrior Sect where the Blood Intent Pills were made, as well as their foundation, had already been destroyed.

Even if the disciples of those Sect Leaders kept kidnapping people, it would be in vain.

Xiao Yi's current target was other locations within Fierce Tiger County where Blood Intent Pills were being made.

However, this time, Xiao Yi changed his methods and investigation approach.

Last time, he conducted a thorough investigation and captured Meng Luo,

firstly to avoid capturing the wrong people,

secondly to confirm that the disappearances were indeed related to the Blood Intent Pills,

that is, indeed related to either the Flame Holy Sect or the Mountain God Sect.

Now that this had been confirmed,

there was no need for further inconvenience.

Xiao Yi took about twenty cities as a range,

and directly approached the strongest force within this range.

Then he sneaked in for an investigation; if he discovered any evil place making Blood Intent Pills, he would reveal himself,

destroy the foundation, and annihilate that force.

If nothing was found, he would leave quietly and investigate the next weaker force.

From strongest to weakest, until the location making Blood Intent Pills was found.

It must be said, this method was quite quick.

Of course, this was thanks to Xiao Yi having sufficient strength to sneak in silently at will.

Half a month later, Xiao Yi had almost visited all the major cities throughout Fierce Tiger County.

You know, Fierce Tiger County was a major county with extremely strong Martial Artist forces.

With over 200 cities.

And the places Xiao Yi found that produced Blood Intent Pills totaled 12.

These 12 places were almost all the strongest forces within those ranges.

Of course, these 12 forces had now been completely annihilated.

The Blood Intent Pills Xiao Yi had seized totaled 12.

These 20 little pills, emitting a strange blood color, contained countless lives.

Xiao Yi coldly looked at the 12 people he had captured, his face full of murderous intent.

"If it were not for the fact that you still have a use, I would send you to hell right now."

These 12 people were the Sect Leaders or Sect Hierarchs of those 12 forces, all at the Earth Origin Eighth Layer.

"Humph." The 12 people snorted coldly simultaneously, their aura becoming chaotic.

But the aura quickly stabilized again.

They wanted to self-destruct.

But, it was okay if the Warrior Sect Leader suddenly self-destructed last time.

This time, Xiao Yi was well prepared and would not give them a chance.

Prohibitions had already been set on their bodies.

Their strength and meridians were also sealed by the prohibition.

"Young man, you are from the Star Alliance, right?"

"Hmph, just a rabble. In front of my Thousand Heroes Sect, you won't last long."

"If you know what's good for you, let us go now, otherwise..."

These 12 people spoke arrogantly.

But before they could finish, Xiao Yi struck them with a slap in the air, causing their mouths to bleed.

"I'm not killing you because you still have a use for now," Xiao Yi said coldly.

"But that doesn't mean you have the right to be arrogant."

"You'd better behave, otherwise, my methods and torture are no less severe than the Scorching Fire Pill."

With that, Xiao Yi waved his hand, and a surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy enveloped them all.

His figure flashed, and he returned to Fierce Tiger City.

In Fierce Tiger County, although there were many evil places where Blood Intent Pills were made,

the disappearances had only started appearing about half a year ago.

So, Xiao Yi estimated that these 23 Blood Intent Pills were probably all that the Thousand Heroes Sect had gained in Fierce Tiger County.

Although many Martial Artists had already died,

it was still not too late to contain the situation now.

Returning to the base,

Xiao Yi locked these 12 people in the prison together.

Afterward, his figure flashed, and he left again.

Fierce Tiger County was now resolved.

Thirteen hideouts were all destroyed, and their foundations were also one by one demolished.

For a long time to come, there would be no more disappearance incidents in Fierce Tiger County, to be precise, no more abductions.

Even if there were, they would be in vain.

Blood Intent Pills could no longer be manufactured in Fierce Tiger County.

Xiao Yi shifted his focus to the next county, Black Tiger County.

...

Half a day later, Xiao Yi arrived at Black Tiger County.

Following the same method, half a month later, he destroyed a total of 15 hideouts.

The people captured were also 15 in number, all at Earth Origin Eighth Layer.

And the confiscated Blood Intent Pills numbered 20.

Clearly, the situation in Black Tiger County was much more severe than in Fierce Tiger County.

Moreover, the disappearance incidents had started more than a year ago.

"The bastards of the Star Alliance, my Thousand Heroes Sect will not let you get away with this."

These 15 individuals, similarly restrained by Xiao Yi, threatened furiously.

In the East Six Counties, the Star Alliance and the Thousand Heroes Sect had always been at odds.

Xiao Yi had grown accustomed to these people mistaking him for someone from the Star Alliance.

With a sweep of his hand, he enveloped the group in spiritual energy.

Xiao Yi, holding them, headed to the Flame Martial Guard outpost in Black Tiger County.

The person in charge at the Black Tiger County Flame Martial Guard outpost was not from the Lin family.

But borrowing the dungeon with Xiao Yi's Deputy Commander status was a minor matter.

He locked these 15 people into the dungeon.

Once again, Xiao Yi left, heading to the next county.

The next county was Dongzhu County.

Dongzhu County was a relatively weaker county, whose strength in martial artist and other aspects was roughly similar to that of Anyun County.

There was no Flame Martial Guard outpost there.

In the entire East Six Counties, there were only two Flame Martial Guard outposts.

One in Fierce Tiger County, the other in Black Tiger County.

Back to the main point.

Xiao Yi replicated his method in Dongzhu County and destroyed 15 hideouts for manufacturing Blood Intent Pills.

Similarly, he captured 15 individuals from the Thousand Heroes Sect.

The Blood Intent Pills seized were also 20.

However, the situation here was even graver.

Because the disappearances had already started several years ago.

Xiao Yi speculated that these Blood Intent Pill manufacturing hideouts must have sent their produce to the Thousand Heroes Sect once they had packaged a certain quantity.

Several years were enough for these people to do many things.

The Blood Intent Pills already manufactured were certainly more than 20.

At this moment, Xiao Yi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Each Blood Intent Pill required countless Human Martial Artists' essence for its manufacturing.

One pill, nearly enough to slaughter a large city's population of civilians.

Of course, if it were martial artists, the number needed would be much fewer.

The higher the martial artist's cultivation, the more essence inside.

It appeared that the Thousand Heroes Sect mostly used the lives of martial artists for the production of Blood Intent Pills.

Otherwise, if ordinary people were used, the number would reach a terrifying figure in the tens of millions.

With such a terrifying number of disappearances, no one could cover it up.

The affair of the Thousand Heroes Sect had long been exposed.

But anyhow, the number of martial artists who had died for the Blood Intent Pills was definitely astronomical.

Another point, Xiao Yi distinctly found that the closer to Donglai County, the more severe the disappearances became.

From Fierce Tiger County to Black Tiger County, and then to Dongzhu County.

The situation was becoming increasingly severe.

It was likely that, proceeding to the next county, things would become even more serious, not to mention Donglai County itself, which was home to the Thousand Heroes Sect.

"Damn it," Xiao Yi muttered coldly to himself.

Then with a wave of his hand, he restrained these 15 people.

He flew through the air, heading back to the Flame Martial Guard outpost in Black Tiger County, and locked all 15 people into the prison.

Leaving the Black Tiger County outpost, Xiao Yi returned to Dongzhu County, continuing to the next county.

A few days later, Xiao Yi reached the next county from Dongzhu County.

After dealing with the matters here, he would enter the next county, which would be Donglai County.

At this time, an unwelcome visitor sought out Xiao Yi.

While Xiao Yi was flying through the air, he suddenly stopped.

Ahead, a man around 22 or 23 years old blocked his path.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Who are you?"

"That should be my question," responded the man.

"Lately for the past month or two, I keep hearing that a powerful member of my Star Alliance has been abducting people everywhere and wiping out various forces."

"I really can't imagine that the person doing this is so young."

"Are you from the Star Alliance?" Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at the man.

"Yes," the man nodded, "I am Xu Xing, the Alliance Hierarch of the Star Alliance."

...

Third update.
