Soul Emperor Martial God

"Kill Xiao Yi, that traitor!"

The Sect Master and the others, upon seeing the figure in the sky, changed their expressions and immediately shouted loud orders.

The Sect Master, Master Xue, and the four Heavenly Flame Guard Captains,

The eight of them joined forces and charged straight at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stood his ground, no movement made, just a faint smile escaping him.

The shadow in the sky reached his side in an instant,

With a lift of his finger, a Sword Qi was released.

The Sect Master and the other seven spat out mouthfuls of blood and were blasted away by the Sword Qi in an instant.

The speed at which they were blown away was even much faster than they had attacked Xiao Yi.

When the eight of them regained their footing, they looked toward the newcomer with extremely ugly expressions.

"Yi Madman," the Sect Master and the others said through gritted teeth.

"Yi Tianxing," Duan Yun's expression turned extremely solemn from afar.

"Tianxing," only the Great Elder had a face full of joy.

It seems that, just as the rumors said, the Great Elder and Elder Yi really did have a good relationship.

Xiao Yi looked at the newcomer with a bit of surprise, "Is this Elder Yi's true strength?"

The arrival of the newcomer instantly became the focus of everyone present.

Indeed, the newcomer was Elder Yi.

"Let's go," Elder Yi said with an unrestrained gaze, sweeping a glance over everyone present.

Then he looked at Xiao Yi and said coldly.

"Thinking of leaving? Wishful thinking!" the Sect Master and others shouted coldly.

"Yi Madman, you've got some nerve, not only returning yourself but also letting your disciple wreak havoc in the Royal Capital."

"Hmph, like master, like disciple."

"You once exterminated Blood Mist Valley and went on a killing spree in the Royal Capital, causing public outrage and divine wrath."

"And today, your disciple has done the same."

"Killing so many strong men in our Royal Capital, his crimes are heinous. And now he thinks he can just leave?"

Elder Yi's face was indifferent, seemingly devoid of all emotion.

"Should I take him away now, or kill all of you first and then take him away?"

"Choose one."

"How preposterous," Master Xue sneered.

"Do you really think you can take someone away safely when the strong men of the Royal Capital are all gathered here today?"

"Do you really think we, a group of strong men, are made of paper?"

"Are we not?" Elder Yi said indifferently.

"You…" The faces of Master Xue and the others darkened.

"Let's go," Elder Yi said again to Xiao Yi, ignoring the others and still indifferent.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Bai Mohan is not yet dead; I won't leave."

"You have no direct grudge against him, why kill him?" Elder Yi remained indifferent.

"He betrays his mentor and destroys his lineage, shouldn't he die?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"That should be for me to do, not you," Elder Yi retorted coldly.

"I don't understand why you always meddle in other's affairs."

"I understand even less where you get the entitlement to meddle in my affairs."

"Also, when did we ever have the relationship of master and disciple?"

At these words, those around all cast sideways glances.

In their eyes, Elder Yi's gaze towards Xiao Yi was extremely indifferent.

Beyond their astonishment, some even let out scoffs.

"So Yi Madman never acknowledged Xiao Yi as his disciple?"

"Could it be that it's all just Xiao Yi's own wishful thinking?"

From a distance, Bai Mohan laughed coldly, "Hahahaha."

"I say, old man, you were once the number one talent of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect."

"It would have been normal for a Supreme Genius like me to join under you."

"A Fire Control Beast like Xiao Yi gains your favor?"

"Tsk, tsk, the farce of today is just his own wishful thinking."

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous."

In a moment, Xiao Yi seemed like a fool in everyone's eyes.

Jeers were heard all around.

Yet Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged.

Looking at Elder Yi's indifferent expression, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Having waited so long for you to show up, I didn't expect to be greeted with such words."

Xiao Yi said blandly.

"I am only speaking the truth," Elder Yi responded indifferently. "What's the matter, has it wounded your pride?"

Xiao Yi suddenly smiled.

That smile, in everyone's eyes, seemed to be a 'pitiful' and 'desolate' one.

Struggling with all his might to avenge his mentor, only to be met with such scorn and rebuke.

It would be hard for anyone to bear.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Wounded my pride? Elder Yi, it's been a long time since we've met. How come your words are always so lacking in novelty?"

"What do you mean?" Elder Yi furrowed his brows.

All the surrounding powerhouses remained silent, not interrupting.

It seemed they were more entertained by seeing Xiao Yi, who had always been extremely arrogant, become a 'clown'.

Xiao Yi ignored the snickers around him and just looked straight at Elder Yi.

"Since Elder Yi believes I am meddling unnecessarily, driven by my own wishes."

"What then, are your meddlings and your unilateral decisions?" Xiao Yi challenged.

"What are you talking about?" A hint of discontent and anger appeared in Elder Yi's frosty demeanor.

Xiao Yi shook his head and said softly, "Elder Yi, there's no need to deceive me, you can't hide it from me either."

"For a year now, from when I first entered the Royal Capital, no, to be precise, since I first made my appearance in the Royal Capital."

"Elder Yi, you have been secretly following me."

"I stayed overnight in an inn, and you followed; I spoke of you with the Great Elder, and you listened in from the shadows."

"I entered the Sky-splitting Sword Sect for the assessment, and you followed."

"When I was obstructed by many sect elders, you were watching from the dark."

"For a year now, including this past month I've spent wandering around the Royal Capital, and even at the start of today's great battle, you have been following me."

"You have always been there!"

By the end, Xiao Yi's lips curled into a knowing smile.

"You..." Elder Yi's face changed color.

Xiao Yi chuckled and suddenly a Sword Qi appeared in his hand.

This Sword Qi didn't belong to Xiao Yi, but it radiated Elder Yi's aura.

It was the very Sword Qi that Elder Yi had once given him.

"Elder Yi should know that I am always cautious, never letting my guard down, no matter the time or place."

"If someone were tracking me, no matter how powerful, I would detect it."

"As for this Sword Qi, I have never used it."

"Simply because this is the only thing you gave me that's connected to your aura."

"With it, I have always been able to feel your presence."

"You've known all along?" The indifference on Elder Yi's face had vanished, replaced by a heavy sigh.

"I knew," Xiao Yi nodded.

"However, with Elder Yi's strength, if you did not wish to appear, I could do nothing about it."

"Of course, before I cleared up everything, I had no right to ask you to show yourself."

"You didn't want to talk about the past, so I investigated it myself."

"Now that I have figured it out, naturally, I have made you appear."

Xiao Yi said, smiling proudly.

"Brat." Elder Yi also smiled knowingly, but the next second, he rebuked sharply.

"Causing such a commotion, just to force me out, you are truly audacious."

"Hehe," Xiao Yi chuckled. "Does Elder Yi really think, I am impulsive?"

"If I dare to make such a scene, I naturally have the assurance of getting out safely."

"After I kill that person, let's leave together."

With that said, Xiao Yi's figure flashed and the sword in his hand materialized out of thin air.

He brandished the sword and charged towards Bai Mohan.

"Don't think you'll succeed." The four Heavenly Flame Guard Captains shouted coldly, their hands once again gathering a terrifying flame.

Xiao Yi scoffed disdainfully, "Do you really think those flames before could hurt me?"

"Controlling flame in front of me, you are not qualified."

"Disperse."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the four Heavenly Flame Guard Captains filled with horror, and the flames in their hands dissipated into nothing.
