Soul Emperor Martial God

Leaving the Liu Family, Xiao Yi headed out beyond the Royal Capital.

After leaving the Royal Capital, he found a secluded place.

Xiao Yi changed into a set of clothes and put on the Ghost Mask.

His attire consisted of a loose black robe, which served to conceal his injured arm.

He planned to make a trip to the Demon Hunting Hall to treat his injuries.

It must be said that the identity of Yi Xiao, which he had always kept secret, had provided him with great help.

...

After returning to the Royal Capital, he sped towards the Demon Hunting Hall.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yi arrived at the Demon Hunting Hall.

Just as he entered, a middle-aged man quickly approached him.

"Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, you've finally shown up," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master?" The surrounding Demon Hunters, as well as the Martial Artists from major forces in the Royal Capital who had come to issue missions, all showed expressions of surprise.

"Is that the rumored Purple Flame?"

"So young and wearing a mask, with such an impressive aura, it truly must be him."

Those who came to the Main Hall of the Demon Hunting Hall to issue missions were all from grand forces, none of whom were ordinary.

And the Demon Hunters who came to accept missions were also renowned experts in their own right.

Of course, the missions here were extremely difficult.

Missions of Level 6 and above were the norm, and without Earth Origin Sixth Layer strength or higher, one simply could not complete them.

At this moment, the middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, let's talk in the back hall."

"Okay," Xiao Yi nodded.

The middle-aged man in front of him was a Branch Hall Master of the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, with a Cultivation reaching the Heavenly Origin Eighth Layer.

Besides the Branch Hall Masters of the thirty-six counties,

there were also many Branch Hall Masters at the Main Hall.

How many exactly, Xiao Yi did not bother to count.

But from what he knew now, there were no fewer than a dozen.

Each one had been a famous Demon Hunter in the Flame Martial Kingdom since their youth.

Back to the matter at hand.

The two went to the back hall.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, just as the rumors said, you really are elusive, like a dragon seen only in fleeting moments."

"We have been looking for you for a long time, but always without a trace of you."

Xiao Yi gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm usually training in various perilous places, slaying demon beasts."

"I indeed seldom show up."

Since several months ago, after parting with the Hall Master at the Main Hall,

Xiao Yi had gone to the East Six Counties to investigate matters regarding the Blood Intent Pill.

Naturally, they could not find him at the Main Hall.

"Oh?" the middle-aged man said with a slight hint of confusion, "We checked the records of missions and scrolls in three hundred and sixty Branch Halls."

"I didn't see any missions taken by you, Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, in these past months?"

"Ah," Xiao Yi was stunned.

He hadn't expected that the Main Hall had scoured all three hundred and sixty Branch Halls of the Flame Martial Kingdom.

Xiao Yi replied, "When I'm out training, if I encounter a demon beast. I just kill it on the spot; I don't specifically accept missions."

"I see," the middle-aged man suddenly understood.

Xiao Yi changed the subject and asked, "The Main Hall was in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"

"It's not that we were looking for you, but the Hall Master himself asked for you," the middle-aged man explained.

"The Hall Master is looking for me?" Xiao Yi frowned, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know about that," the middle-aged man responded, "The Hall Master didn't say."

"A few days ago, the Hall Master secluded himself. Judging by the time, he should come out of seclusion in another ten days to half a month."

For many experts, seclusion was just a routine matter.

During this time, the middle-aged man let out a wry smile, "Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, I must warn you."

"A few days ago, when we couldn't find any trace of you, the Hall Master urgently went out to look for you personally."

"He searched tirelessly for five days and nights, and unable to find you, he was both anxious and angry."

"I advise you not to disappear any time soon, and wait for the Hall Master to come out of seclusion to see what the matter is."

"Anxious and angry?" Xiao Yi was startled.

Between himself and the Hall Master, there was only a brief acquaintance, just three assessments taken.

In the eyes of such a legendary expert as the Hall Master, he was just a minor figure.

As for being both anxious and angry?

Xiao Yi shook his head, not bothering to ponder further, and said, "Alright, I will wait here for the Hall Master to come out of seclusion."

"Additionally, I came to the Main Hall this time wishing to borrow a seclusion room."

"Oh?" the middle-aged man asked, puzzled, "Does Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master intend to enter seclusion?"

"No," Xiao Yi shook his head, "I've sustained some injuries, I just need a quiet place to heal."

"I should be able to come out in a few days."

"Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, you've been injured?" the middle-aged man asked in shock, "Is it serious?"

"Do you need our Pharmacist to treat you?"

"No need," Xiao Yi shook his head, "A few days ago, I fought against a fierce beast and suffered some minor injuries."

"So it is," the middle-aged man nodded and smiled, "Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master is a high-grade Alchemist himself."

"Since you say it's no big deal, I won't worry."

"I'll have someone open up a seclusion room for you later."

"Thank you," Xiao Yi said, unable to offer his thanks with a bow of hands, so he could only offer a verbal thanks.

Inside the seclusion room.

Xiao Yi laid down a Prohibition and began to sit in meditation.

He pondered for a moment.

He guessed that the Hall Master was seeking him out probably because of the three assessments.

The first assessment was to help Elder Mu solve a problem.

The hazard of the Star Fire had been removed; that mission was considered complete.

The second was to break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

But now he was only at Earth Origin Ninth Layer Cultivation, so why was the Hall Master seeking him at this time?

Xiao Yi thought it over but didn't come up with an answer, so he stopped pondering and began healing in earnest.

His injuries were generally not a concern.

Mainly it was that broken arm.

With a 'thud'.

A Purple Flame gathered in his hand.

Xiao Yi controlled the Purple Flame, bringing it close to his severed arm.

The Purple Flame, with its power to Destroy Everything, was astonishing.

But at this moment, it had not burned his arm.

The flame passed through the skin and directly into the bone.

At the shoulder, there were two dreadful auras, one was the scorching heat of the Golden Fire, and the other was a sharp, cutting aura.

These two auras raged at the shoulder, preventing the Healing Elixirs from taking effect.

At this time, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame entered.

In just a few seconds, it utterly destroyed both auras.

The Golden Fire of Blood River, nameless as it might be, was also extremely powerful.

But it couldn't be considered the strongest flame in the world and was merely exceptionally potent.

Naturally, it was easily destroyed by the Purple Flame.

Xiao Yi quickly swallowed several high-grade Healing Pills.

The medicinal effect circulated swiftly through his limbs and bones.

The injury on his arm was recovering at an astonishing speed.

Three days later, Xiao Yi awoke from his meditation.

A sharp light burst forth from his cold eyes.

His injuries had completely healed.

He shook the arm that had been broken, now strong and filled with impressive power.

"All better," Xiao Yi said with a faint smile, and then he took off the loose Black Robe.

He changed into his usual black tight-fitting clothes.

Before that, he had put the Ice Armor back on.

By the way, he hadn't been wearing the Ice Armor during the fight with Blood River.

Although he had received the Ice Armor from the Great Elder when he had left the Sword Sect,

Xiao Yi had been in a hurry to get to the Liu Family and hadn't worn it.

Also, he really didn't want to owe anything to the Sword Sect.

And as a result, had a tough fight with Blood River while being overconfident.

Although the injuries were not too serious,

the sensation of the golden spear piercing through his body was still quite painful.

However, in fact, even if he put on the Ice Armor now, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

Acting as Yi Xiao, he had too many trump cards he could use.

Four of the world's fiercest flames, the top-grade Primordial Artifact Furious Flame Ring, and so on.

If he faced dangers that his trump cards could not withstand, the Ice Armor wouldn't make much of a difference either.

Of course, the defensive power of the Ice Armor was the best in the world.

Having it was better than not.

After making all the preparations, Xiao Yi got up and left the seclusion room.

Unless something unexpected happened, he was to wait in the Demon Hunting Hall for half a month.

However, as soon as he left the seclusion room, a staff member hurried over to him.

"Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master," the staff member was a Deacon from the Main Hall.

"What is it?" Xiao Yi asked.

The staff member replied respectfully, "There has been a change with the Demon Hunting Order you posted in the Main Hall previously."

"A certain Sub Hall Master is requesting it be revoked."

"I've come to inquire."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Second update.
