Soul Emperor Martial God

Under the intense scrutiny of five Half-step Heavenly Origin experts from the Star Alliance,

Xiao Yi took out several seventh-grade Healing Pills and put them into Xuz Xing's mouth.

The effects of the pills varied.

Afterwards, Xiao Yi precisely controlled the medicinal power to circulate and take effect within Xuz Xing's body.

Almost instantly, the continuous bleeding from Xuz Xing's mouth stopped.

His pale complexion also gradually turned rosy.

After several minutes,

"cough cough," Xuz Xing coughed weakly a few times, and with the support of several elders, he struggled to sit up.

"Alliance Hierarch." The five elders instantly sighed with relief.

They then turned to Xiao Yi with grateful expressions and hurriedly cupped their hands, saying, "Thank you, senior… uh, no…"

The five elders hesitated, realizing they didn't know how to address Xiao Yi.

Given Xiao Yi's young age, they naturally couldn't continue addressing him as 'senior'.

Xuz Xing looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Sir, how come you are here? Could it be that you are willing to join our Star Alliance?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "No, there are some matters I need to discuss with you."

With that, he turned to the five elders and said, "You five stay, everyone else leave."

"Yes, Sir," the five elders could only address Xiao Yi as Xuz Xing did.

The five waved their hands, instructing the Star Alliance martial artists to leave.

Soon, only Xiao Yi, Xuz Xing, and the five elders remained.

At this point, the five elders had explained the situation to Xuz Xing.

Xuz Xing's expression changed dramatically, "Sir, who exactly are you?"

"So young, yet possessing such formidable strength?"

"I have a good grasp of all the great talents in the Flame Martial Kingdom, but I have never heard of someone with such monstrous talent as yours."

Having a good grasp of the great talents in the Flame Martial Kingdom?

Xiao Yi looked at him meaningfully.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that for now."

"I have something else I need to ask you."

"Sir, please speak," Xuz Xing said seriously, "As long as I am aware, I will tell all."

Xiao Yi gave a light smile and said, "No need to be so serious, I just want to ask about some ordinary matters."

"I want to know when exactly your Star Alliance was founded."

"And also about the general situation regarding your Star Alliance."

Hearing this, Xuz Xing thought for a moment and then answered, "Our Star Alliance was founded 15 years ago."

"The founders were these five seniors here."

"Uh-huh," Xiao Yi nodded.

Xuz Xing is only 22 or 23 years old now; 15 years ago, he was just 7 or 8.

Naturally, the Star Alliance couldn't have been founded by him.

"Continue," Xiao Yi said sternly.

Xuz Xing frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Otherwise, the matters of our Star Alliance over the past 15 years are as long as a piece of cloth."

"It would take days and nights to talk about."

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Purpose."

"Your Star Alliance, formed by dozens of forces uniting, couldn't have gathered together for no reason."

Xuz Xing laughed, "Didn't I tell you this before, Sir?"

"Our goal is the Thousand Heroes Sect."

Xiao Yi frowned again and said, "Why do you want to confront the Thousand Heroes Sect?"

"Or should I say, do all the forces here have enmities with them?"

"Another point, as far as I know, the Thousand Heroes Sect has a legacy of over a hundred years and has an excellent reputation."

"On the other hand, your Star Alliance, here in the East Six Counties, everyone is out to get you."

At these words, Xuz Xing's expression suddenly turned extremely grim.

The surrounding five elders also had dark expressions.

After a long while, Xuz Xing finally spoke, his face cold.

"It's not that the dozens of forces here have enmities with the Thousand Heroes Sect."

"Rather, if we did not unite and form the Star Alliance,"

"The entire East Six Counties would be destroyed by the Thousand Heroes Sect."

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked.

"They are refining the Blood Intent Pill," Xuz Xing said in a cold voice.

"The Thousand Heroes Sect, splendid on the surface, is actually vile within."

"To produce the Blood Intent Pill, a vile product, it requires countless Human Martial Artists' essence."

"Since 15 years ago, the Thousand Heroes Sect has already started engaging in such malevolent deeds in Donglai County."

"Subsequently, they kept expanding their scope."

"First, it was East Moon County, then East Bamboo County. Over the past few years, they have even expanded into Black Tiger County and Fierce Tiger County."

"You can imagine how many lives have been secretly taken by their hands over these years."

"And they died silently, mysteriously."

Xiao Yi nodded. He had long been aware of the nefarious deeds within the Thousand Heroes Sect.

He just hadn't expected the Star Alliance to know as well.

And now, it seemed that the Star Alliance existed solely to counter the Thousand Heroes Sect's production of Blood Intent Pills.

Xiao Yi continued to inquire, "With the Thousand Heroes Sect's influence spreading across the Six Counties, they could have targeted Fierce Tiger County and Black Tiger County years ago."

"Why have they only started acting in the past two years?"

"According to my investigation, the disappearances in these two counties have only begun in the last two years."

"In Fierce Tiger County, it's been just the past half year."

Xiao Yi always harbored many doubts.

The situation in the East Six Counties was overly complex; if he delved to the root of it all, its entirety would be difficult to uncover by himself.

And the Star Alliance was a local power.

Naturally, they were aware of many situations and their underlying reasons.

Xu Xing responded, "Because previously, the rulers of Fierce Tiger and Black Tiger Counties did not allow any misconduct from the Thousand Heroes Sect in their territories."

"But in the last year or two, they have turned a blind eye."

"What?" Xiao Yi's face showed a slight shock, "You mean, the rulers of Fierce Tiger and Black Tiger Counties knew about those disappearances and that they were orchestrated by the Thousand Heroes Sect?"

"Correct." Xu Xing nodded, "These two princes are indeed formidable, true rulers of their respective counties."

"With their tactics, the Thousand Heroes Sect couldn't act secretly under their watchful eyes."

"Without their tacit consent, the Thousand Heroes Sect couldn't have acted in these two counties."

"Why?" Xiao Yi pressed urgently.

No wonder the closer he got to Donglai County, the more severe the disappearances became.

It turned out, over the years, the Thousand Heroes Sect was continually expanding its power.

Of course, Xiao Yi wouldn't fully believe Xu Xing's words just yet, as he trusted his own judgment.

At that moment, Xu Xing replied, "This answer relates to a previous question of yours."

"The Thousand Heroes Sect, with a hundred-year legacy, once had an excellent reputation."

"In the East Six Counties, there has never been a distinguished Martial Arts Holy Land."

"For a century, the Thousand Heroes Sect has been dedicated to elevating its sect's status, aspiring to be the pride of the entire East Six Counties."

"Their original purpose was to become a Martial Arts Holy Land."

"To provide the Martial Artists of East Six Counties with an excellent cultivation location, benefiting all six counties."

"But, ever since that person arrived fifteen years ago, everything changed."

Saying this, Xu Xing's expression turned increasingly cold, even angry.

"The purpose of the Thousand Heroes Sect was distorted due to that person."

"The nightmare of the entire East Six Counties began with his arrival too."

"Who?" Xiao Yi asked eagerly.

His intuition told him that Xu Xing's next words would unravel many of his questions.

"Ha." Xu Xing suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

"That person…is a Heavenly Talent, a dazzling Sun."

Xu Xing seemed to become lost in long-sealed memories.

"Do you know, when he arrived fifteen years ago, how sensational it was?"

"He was just fifteen years old yet recognized by the entire Flame Martial Kingdom as the number one supreme talent."

"His emergence commanded universal attention, unparalleled and proud."

"Every force in the East Six Counties vied to welcome him."

"Even the Thousand Heroes Sect revered him as a Saint Child."

"Back then, in the eyes of all of us younger generation, he was a legend."

"He also evoked boundless admiration among the entire generation."

"But who could have imagined," Xu Xing's words turned extremely chilling.

"This dazzling sun didn't bring warmth to the East Six Counties."

"This dazzling sun, with its reflected light, brought toxicity and cold."

"The Thousand Heroes Sect, by venerating him as the Saint Child, completely embarked on a corrupt path."

"That man is… currently the Elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Bai Mohan!"

Xu Xing paused after each word.

Xiao Yi's expression changed, then turned extremely cold, "The Saint Child, it indeed is him."

Fifteen years ago was exactly when Elder Yi and Bai Mohan severed their master-disciple relationship and Elder Yi left the Royal Capital in despair.

That same year marked the meteoric rise of Bai Mohan.

It was also the year Bai Mohan, once an obscure disciple, became a disciple of the Sword Sect Master.

In one fell swoop, he became recognized globally as the number one supreme talent.
