Soul Emperor Martial God

Xu Xing's words shocked Xiao Yi, but they also raised doubts in him.

"Since Bai Mohan had once been to the East Six Counties and with such a grand presence,"

"Why have I never heard about this matter here?"

"And as for the Thousand Heroes Sect recognizing him as their Saint Child, that's even more unheard of."

Xiao Yi asked.

Xu Xing replied, "Sir, you must not be from the East Six Counties."

"The East Six Counties are in a remote corner, plus this happened 15 years ago, so it's normal for you not to know."

"If you don't believe it, you are free to investigate it yourself."

"Additionally, the matter of the Saint Child was never publicized by the Thousand Heroes Sect; it was a private agreement they made with Bai Mohan."

Xiao Yi frowned and asked, "If it was a private agreement they made, how do you know about it?"

Xu Xing gave a wry smile and glanced at the five elders.

He said, "These five seniors here were originally elders of the Thousand Heroes Sect."

"They found out about the unsavory affairs of the Thousand Heroes Sect and, not willing to be complicit, left the sect."

"Our Star Alliance's dozens of forces originally belonged to this side of Donglai County, close to the Thousand Heroes Sect."

"As for me, don't laugh, sir, but I grew up in the Thousand Heroes Sect."

"I was one of the younger generation of disciples."

"Just because the Thousand Heroes Sect went astray doesn't mean everyone is willing to follow them down that path."

"Later on, the Thousand Heroes Sect continually roped in other forces."

"Those who learned the truth and didn't want to bring disaster to the Six Counties joined the Star Alliance."

"After many years, we now have the current Star Alliance that can stand toe-to-toe with the Thousand Heroes Sect."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Alright, let's pause the conversation here."

"If what you say is true, within three days, I promise the Thousand Heroes Sect will be eradicated from your East Six Counties."

Having said that, Xiao Yi turned and left, controlling the air as he departed.

"Sir, wait!" Xu Xing called out loudly, "You haven't yet told me, who are you?"

Xiao Yi was already gone.

All that remained was a faint voice, "Vice Commander of Flame Martial Guards, Xiao Yi."

"Vice Commander of the Flame Martial Guards?" Xu Xing furrowed his brows.

The five elders voiced their surprise and suspicion, "Since when did the Flame Martial Guards have such a young Deputy Commander?"

"Xiao Yi?" Xu Xing muttered to himself, then his face suddenly changed, "Could it be him?"

"Who, Alliance Hierarch?" the five people hurriedly asked.

Xu Xing replied ecstatically, "The Strongest Sword Master of this generation in Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Xiao Yi."

"In just a few months, he rose from an ordinary Captain in the Flame Martial Guards to Deputy Commander, a veritable miracle."

"Young as he is, he caused a major uproar in the Flame Holy Sect. His strength is extraordinary."

"I can't believe I didn't realize it was him."

"Our East Six Counties is saved."

"To the five elders, pass down the message that from today onwards, the Star Alliance will follow his lead."

"Should he have orders, the Star Alliance will fully cooperate."

"Yes," the five elders responded, faces also filled with joy.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was engaged in Sky-controlling Flight, heading back towards Black Tiger County.

He planned to stop at the Flame Martial Guard outpost to look through some archives and records.

In truth, Xiao Yi had long suspected the matter regarding Bai Mohan being the Saint Child.

Ever since the Sword Sect Fourth Elder appeared at the Flame Holy Sect, he had his suspicions.

And now with the presence of Scorching Fire Pills in the East Six Counties, being used by the Thousand Heroes Sect to control other forces, he knew that these two things must be connected.

If he wasn't mistaken, whether it's the Mountain God Sect, Flame Holy Sect, or the Thousand Heroes Sect,

The Sect Hierarch of these three was all Bai Mohan.

Of course, all of this would be confirmed after capturing the Sect Hierarch of the Thousand Heroes Sect.

However, Xiao Yi, currently engaged in Sky-controlling Flight, was still deeply furrowed in thought.

Because he had many doubts.

15 years ago was when Elder Yi had already left.

That's when Bai Mohan started to make a name for himself.

Becoming the Saint Child of the three sects and concocting the Blood Intent Pill came after.

But what about before that?

Before Bai Mohan became famous, before he was the Saint Child of the three sects, before he became the foremost Supreme talent, what exactly happened?

High in the sky, Xiao Yi flew with a sudden smile.

He was well aware that the crux of the matter was Bai Mohan.

Now, he had some knowledge of the events from 15 years ago.

The matter concerning Bai Mohan was also increasingly uncovered by him.

It wouldn't be long before everything became clear.

While smiling, Xiao Yi's gaze looked off into the distance.

In that direction was the Royal Capital, thousands of miles away.

It seemed as though a pair of profound eyes was watching him intently.

There, it seemed as if a figure was waiting for him.

"I've said it before, I want to hear your story."

"If you don't tell it, I will investigate it myself."

"I've said I would unravel your troubles; not a single promise can be missed."

Xiao Yi smiled and, his figure like a streak of light, quickly headed toward Black Tiger County.

...

Half a day later, Xiao Yi returned to Black Tiger County.

At the Flame Martial Guard headquarters, he perused some documents.

15 years ago, at the age of 15, Bai Mohan—who was already the Flame Martial Kingdom's number one supreme talent—indeed had visited the East Six Counties.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "Thousand Heroes Sect, wait for me."

After speaking, Xiao Yi walked toward the Flame Martial Guard Prison, ready to interrogate some matters.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the prison, his expression drastically changed.

Because the entire prison was completely empty.

The dozens of Thousand Heroes Sect Martial Artists he had caught earlier had all disappeared without a trace.

Swoosh! Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he immediately sought out the deputy commander of that post.

"Vice Commander Xu, where are the prisoners I had captured?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.

The deputy commander at Black Tiger County's headquarters was a man surnamed Xu.

And not a member of the Lin Family.

At that moment, seeing Xiao Yi approach with such a menacing aura, Vice Commander Xu was immediately taken aback.

"Vice Commander Xiao Yi, don't be in such a hurry."

"I released all those people."

"After an investigation, it was found that these people were all Sect Leaders from the major forces in the neighboring counties."

"They haven't violated the laws of the Flame Martial Guards; I have no right to imprison them."

Xiao Yi's expression turned colder as he said, "Didn't I ask you, before I came back, not to release them?"

"I detained them for a reason."

Vice Commander Xu's face showed some guilt as he spoke, "Vice Commander Xiao Yi, you indeed had asked me to."

"But..."

"But what?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.

Vice Commander Xu replied, "A day ago, Prince Dongzhu and Prince Dongyue came together to demand their release."

"Both Princes came together."

"Besides, those people truly were not criminals; I couldn't just refuse to release them."

"And by the way, Vice Commander Xiao Yi, do you have a personal vendetta with those forces?"

"What personal vendetta?" Xiao Yi exclaimed in anger. "The disappearances in the surrounding counties, they're all their doing!"

"I worked so hard to capture those people, and you released them all."

After speaking, as if suddenly recalling something, Xiao Yi's figure flashed away in a hurry.

He was heading back to Fierce Tiger County.

Half a day later, he returned to Fierce Tiger County, at the Flame Martial Guard headquarters.

Sure enough, the prisoners there had also all been released.

"Deputy Commander Lin." Xiao Yi's expression looked extremely sour.

Deputy Commander Lin explained, "Yesterday, the Fierce Tiger Prince came and took the people away."

"He said that our Flame Martial Guards had no right to detain innocent people."

"Considering those people were Sect Leaders from various major forces, it wouldn't have looked good not to grant the Fierce Tiger Prince face."

"That's why I simply released them."

"Damn it," Xiao Yi's expression became as cold as ice.

"The Princes of the counties, very well, very well."

Seeing Xiao Yi's unhappy face, Deputy Commander Lin quickly asked, "Vice Commander Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "Those people, they're the culprits behind the disappearance incidents in the surrounding counties."

"They were producing Blood Intent Pills."

"What?" Deputy Commander Lin's face turned pale in shock. "Producing Blood Intent Pills?"

Xiao Yi's expression turned cold. "If they can snatch people away, I can catch them again."

"This..." Deputy Commander Lin said hesitantly, "Since the Prince Mansion is protecting them, if we rashly go and capture them, it wouldn't be quite right, would it?"

"What's not right about it?" Xiao Yi said coldly.

"The Flame Martial Guards, by the King's Order, patrol the counties to maintain peace and order."

"Since when do Princes get to take people away at will?"

"That's true," Deputy Commander Lin nodded. "Here's what we'll do."

"Most of the Flame Martial Guards at the post are currently on missions elsewhere."

"The only reinforcements I can call upon immediately are three Captains."

"Three Captains are enough," Xiao Yi nodded.

A junior Captain commands ten men; a Captain, a hundred men.

Three Captains, that's three hundred men at their command.

In no time, the three Captains and the three hundred Flame Martial Guards were assembled.

"Follow me," Xiao Yi called out loudly.

...

The third update.
