Soul Emperor Martial God

Several minutes later.

In the dungeons of the Flame Martial Guard stronghold, heart-wrenching sobs and cries of pain echoed.

Those wails were filled with helplessness and a sense of being better off dead.

They were chilling to the bone.

"Stop... stop, I'll talk," the now drenched in sweat Thousand Heroes Sect Leader pleaded, his face twisted in pain, his eyes wide with panic.

The combination of the Devouring Essence Pill and the Scorching Fire Pill truly had a terrifying effect.

At that moment, Xiao Yi ceased his torment.

The Thousand Heroes Sect Leader spilled everything he knew.

Half an hour later, the Thousand Heroes Sect Leader had divulged everything he knew.

"As I suspected, the Saint Child is Bai Mohan," Xiao Yi's face was icy cold.

The half-hour interrogation had forced the Thousand Heroes Sect Leader to reveal the Saint Child's true identity.

However, when it came to the specifics of other matters, including several Commandery Princes and members of the Flame Martial Guard, his knowledge was limited.

Xiao Yi had anticipated this much.

"You brat," the Thousand Heroes Sect Leader said coldly at that moment, "knowing that I am Elder Bai's man, you still dare to lay a hand on me?"

"Elder Bai is an existence you can only look up to, someone you cannot afford to provoke."

"Hah," Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, choosing not to say anything more, and turned to leave the Flame Martial Guard Prison.

The Thousand Heroes Sect Leader and his subordinates would be escorted by Yee Xiu to the headquarters at the Royal Capital for trial.

Xiao Yi didn't need to concern himself further with them.

Meanwhile, he was also ready to leave the East Six Counties.

However, no sooner had he stepped out of the Flame Martial Guard stronghold

than dozens of figures swooped down from the skies, controlling the air to fly.

It was Xuz Xing and the Sect Leaders of the various major forces of Fierce Tiger County,

including the Sect Leaders of the Divine Armor Sect and Xuanmu Sect, Meng Lianhua, Meng Luo, and others.

"Hmm? What brings you here?" Xiao Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

None of these Sect Leaders and figures like Meng Luo from Fierce Tiger County had been involved in the refining of the Blood Intent Pill.

They had been deceived by the Warrior Sect Leader into mistakenly believing they were to join the Thousand Heroes Sect to check the Star Alliance.

After all, the Star Alliance's reputation was notorious in the past.

Just half a day ago, the Star Alliance extended them an olive branch.

Feeling guilty for their past involvement in abductions, they had decided to join the Star Alliance.

"I figured you, Deputy Commander Xiao Yi, wouldn't stay in the East Six Counties for long," Xuz Xing said with a smile.

"So here we are, specially to see you off."

Xiao Yi chuckled, "No need for farewells, we'll meet again if fate allows."

"Now that the Thousand Heroes Sect is destroyed,"

"You were once a disciple of the Thousand Heroes Sect. Perhaps the sect's legacy should be carried on by you."

Xuz Xing's expression turned solemn, "Of course it should."

"One day, the East Six Counties will have its own Martial Arts Holy Land."

"The Star Alliance will become the pride of the entire East Six Counties."

His face conveyed certainty, as well as an intense desire and ambition.

Xiao Yi had noticed this desire and ambition the first time they met,

thinking then that Xuz Xing had ulterior motives.

He now realized it was a feverish passion.

The once Thousand Heroes Sect, with a hundred years of legacy, was not a Martial Arts Holy Land,

but it was a sect looked up to by all Martial Artists of the East Six Counties,

and it bore the hopes of all the people there.

This hope wouldn't fade with the destruction of the Thousand Heroes Sect,

but instead, it would be passed down to the next generation, stronger and more resolute.

Just like Xuz Xing now.

Xiao Yi smiled, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a voice, reluctant and soft, called out,

"Deputy Commander Xiao Yi," Meng Luo called.

"What is it?" Xiao Yi turned back and asked.

"Will you come back to the East Six Counties?" Meng Luo hesitated, then asked.

"Perhaps," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

Beside him, Xuz Xing gave Meng Luo a thoughtful smile, saying, "Even if Deputy Commander Xiao Yi doesn't come,"

"We can go to the Royal Capital to find him."

"I remember he once told me."

"He was inviting me to visit the Royal Capital, and when the time comes, anyone who wishes to go can join."

"That's wonderful," Meng Luo exclaimed, her voice full of youthful excitement, then, realizing she might have been too eager, quickly lowered her head and giggled shyly.

Xiao Yi looked at Xuz Xing and said, "Actually, when I spoke of inviting you to the Royal Capital,"

"It was with the intention of dealing with the Thousand Heroes Sect."

"Now that the Thousand Heroes Sect has been dealt with, there might be no need for you to go for a while."

"Of course, if you would like to visit the Royal Capital, I would welcome it."

"Alright, everyone, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer."

"Farewell."

Having said this, Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he departed by controlling the air.

Before the Flame Martial Guard outpost, Xuz Xing and his companions looked at each other for a long time.

It wasn't until Xiao Yi had completely disappeared from their sight

that everyone retracted their gazes.

"It is I, the Star Alliance, no, the entire East Six Counties, that owes him a favor," Xuz Xing said earnestly.

"One day, I shall repay him."

...

By this time, Xiao Yi had left the East Six Counties.

He knew very well that it wouldn't be long before the Star Alliance would quickly rise to power.

Xuz Xing might not have been very strong, but he had immense talent.

The most important was his strategy.

Since he took over the Star Alliance, in just a few short years, its influence had grown by more than several times.

It was evident of his capabilities.

Moreover, with the Thousand Heroes Sect destroyed and the Commandery Princes of the counties warned by himself,

with no obstacles, the Star Alliance's development would be even faster, and not just by a little.

Xiao Yi even believed that in less than ten years, the Star Alliance would become the true Martial Arts Holy Land of the East Six Counties.

But back to the main story.

Xiao Yi was now headed for Wanshan County.

The affairs of the East Six Counties had been resolved.

The Thousand Heroes Sect Leader and some of the sect's strong members would be escorted by Yee Xiu to the main headquarters in the Royal Capital.

The massive Blood Intent Pill altar there had also been destroyed.

Xiao Yi planned to make a trip to Wanshan County to eradicate their nest there.

...

Several days later, Xiao Yi traveled across more than a dozen counties and arrived at Wanshan County.

Naturally, his first stop was the Mountain God Sect.

A few months prior, the Mountain God Sect had been reduced to ruins.

But now, the Mountain God Sect had been completely rebuilt.

It must be said that the abilities of the martial artists in this world were quite formidable.

Xiao Yi stealthily went inside to conduct his reconnaissance.

The Mountain God Sect was rebuilt, and as expected, they were also rebuilding the Blood Intent Pill altar.

However, the foundation stone had not yet been fully restored.

Months before, Xiao Yi had concluded that once the foundation stone of the Blood Intent Pill was destroyed, it was extremely difficult to restore.

It would require at least half a year.

Xiao Yi's expression turned icy; the Mountain God Sect apparently intended to abduct people in Wanshan County once again to refine Blood Intent Pills.

Swoosh, Xiao Yi's figure flashed.

When he appeared again, he had arrived in the Inner Hall of the Mountain God Sect Leader.

At this moment, there were two people in the Inner Hall.

A young man and an elder.

The elder was naturally the Mountain God Sect Leader.

And the young man, was... Huoo Di.

At that moment, Huoo Di was treating the Mountain God Sect Leader's severed arm.

Of course, it was not ordinary treatment, but the recreation of his arm.

"After several months, your arm is barely restored," Huoo Di said.

"Mountain God Sect Leader, you might not be strong in Cultivation, but you are quite an impressive alchemist,"

said the Sect Leader with delight.

"The Saint Child was not wrong about you."

"Of course," Huoo Di said. "With my extraordinary talent, I only serve the Saint Child."

"Right," the Mountain God Sect Leader suddenly asked, "how much longer until that foundation stone is rebuilt?"

Huoo Di pondered for a moment and said, "The main issue is the nine chains of the foundation stone; they are somewhat troublesome."

"Once they send the chains over, it will take about a month to restore."

"That is very good," the Mountain God Sect Leader said with a bloodthirsty smile. "I almost forgot the taste of fresh blood."

"One day, I'll have those chains on that brat."

"Let him taste the torture I'll dish out."

"Hmph, dare to sever my arm, I'll make him pay back a thousand times over."

"Oh, are you looking for me?" Xiao Yi suddenly appeared, his face full of mocking smiles.

"Who?" Both Huoo Di and the Mountain God Sect Leader got a shock.

Upon seeing who had arrived, both their complexions dramatically changed, "It's you again."

"Damn it."

Anger and resentment filled their expressions, but above all, fear.

"Heh," Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh. "Huoo Di, let's see if you can escape this time."

...

Second update.
