Soul Emperor Martial God

The entire Royal Capital suddenly began to experience torrential snowfall.

And on Xiao Yi's body surged a terrifying aura, continuously swelling forth.

He was already calling forth the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul within his body.

The anomaly in the Royal Capital made everyone furrow their brows.

Only the few Extreme Realm Experts present had a particularly grave expression on their faces, and their gazes unanimously turned towards Xiao Yi.

Even though they did not know what was going on.

But their Martial Artist's intuition was not wrong.

Especially when they saw the bloodthirsty gleam in Xiao Yi's eyes and his ferocious, crazed visage.

A sense of unease rapidly surged into their minds.

Just at that moment, a cold, clear voice sounded.

"Boy, stop it," said the woman in white standing to the side.

Xiao Yi, heedless to her pleas.

The momentum radiating from his body only grew more terrifying.

The snowfall from the sky also grew progressively denser and heavier.

At that point, the woman in white spoke again.

"Although I don't know what's going on with the aura in your body."

"But whether you choose revenge or choose to save Tianxing, it's up to you."

"What?" Xiao Yi's originally crazed gaze suddenly calmed down.

"Senior is?" Xiao Yi looked directly at the woman in white before him.

In his perception, neither the Flame Martial King, nor Su Zhenxuan and Su Bai, had a presence that matched the strength of the woman in white before him.

Of course, Xiao Yi could only judge the strength of their presence.

Knowing that these people were all Extreme Realm Experts.

But he could not discern their true strength.

To return to the main point.

The woman in white chuckled softly, "You obtained my Ice Sword Gang, my Ice Armor, and you still ask who I am?"

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Ice Sword Gang, Ice Armor..."

"Senior Swordswoman?"

Xiao Yi's expression changed.

In his knowledge, this was a character from hundreds of years ago.

Xiao Yi probed slightly and found that the cold aura emanating from the woman was no different from the Ice Sword Gang.

To have such a cultivation level and also practice the Ice Sword Gang, in the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect, there were perhaps only legendary figures like the Senior Sky-splitting Sword Maiden.

Xiao Yi thought further, realizing that someone who lived for hundreds of years, their means, abilities, and insights were surely astonishing.

"Can senior truly save Elder Yi?" Xiao Yi barely suppressed the rage and bloodlust in his heart and asked in a grave tone.

"The man is not dead, why speak of saving?" The woman chuckled lightly.

"Not dead?" Xiao Yi frowned.

The woman chuckled lightly, "In your perception, his life force has faded."

"But in my perception, that is not the case."

"You may check for yourself."

Saying this, the woman waved her hand grandly, and a surge of cold ice power infused into Elder Yi's body.

Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he hastily examined Elder Yi's body.

Seconds later, Xiao Yi's brow furrowed even more tightly.

In his senses, Elder Yi was utterly devoid of life, nothing but a cold corpse.

He was a high-grade Alchemist and would not make mistakes in his judgment.

Seeing this, the woman beside him waved her hand.

A white light appeared within Elder Yi's body.

As Xiao Yi followed the white light with his senses, he suddenly discovered a trace of life force within the white light.

However, this life force was extremely faint.

So minute that even someone of Xiao Yi's level of power could not perceive it at all.

If one were to compare a person's life force to a vast ocean.

Then, this trace of life force was merely a drop in that ocean.

It's evident how faint this life force was.

"With such a faint life force..." Xiao Yi stood there, dumbfounded.

The woman softly said, "As long as the life force is not completely destroyed, there is a sliver of hope."

"It's faint, but I have sealed it in ice for you."

"Whether you want to grasp this thread of life is your decision to make."

"Does senior have a way?" Xiao Yi bowed deeply to the woman.

Xiao Yi questioned himself, knowing that as a Seventh-grade Peak Alchemist, he was utterly helpless.

Even a Peak Eighth-grade Alchemist would probably have no solution.

The woman nodded and said, "There is a way, and I will tell you later."

"If you are willing to listen, stop now and stand aside."

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded.

He didn't believe that legends like the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden would deceive him.

The fury and killing intent that had filled his heart were instantly replaced by an inexplicable excitement and joy.

The Ice Phoenix Sword Power he had been about to summon dissipated in an instant.

The heavy snow that had blanketed the skies above the Royal Capital vanished in the blink of an eye.

Everything returned to normal.

The woman looked at Xiao Yi with satisfaction, then took a step forward.

Her cold eyes swept over everyone present.

"Now, those unrelated to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect may leave."

The King and the others' faces changed, "Senior Swordswoman, about this matter..."

The woman interrupted, "Oh, right, King, I almost forgot something."

"From today, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect renounces the title of National Church of the Flame Martial Kingdom."

"If the Martial Artists of the Flame Martial Kingdom still acknowledge us as the Martial Arts Holy Land, they are welcome to come to the Sword Sect to become disciples and learn."

"If not, starting today, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect will close its doors and cease all interaction."

"Senior, this must not happen," Duan Yun, the Sect Master, and others said aloud.

"Shut up," the woman scolded.

The Sect Master and the others' faces went pale, and they clenched their teeth but ultimately said nothing more.

The King, Su Zhenxuan and his son's expressions also shifted slightly.

For the Sky-splitting Sword Sect to give up the 'National Church' title was certainly enough to send the entire Flame Martial Kingdom into turmoil.

Moreover, the four words 'Martial Arts Holy Land' would not change because of a title.

With countless years of heritage, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect held an incomparable position in the entire Flame Martial Kingdom.

After all, on the Flame Dragon Continent, Martial Artists were revered.

Strength was an existence that overshadowed the authority of kings.

"Let's go," the King gritted his teeth, gave Xiao Yi a cold glance, but could only issue such an order.

In less than half a moment,

the King, Su Zhenxuan, Su Bai, including the Heavenly Flame Guard, had already departed.

People from other major forces also left one after another.

Today was supposed to be Bai Mohan and Yue Fenwu's grand wedding day.

The entire Royal Capital had come together to celebrate.

But now, all of that no longer existed.

The banquet tables, once set for the celebration, had already turned into a mess amidst the battle.

Furthermore, Bai Mohan followed the King and others in departure.

He was very clear that there was no longer a place for him in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Of course, the Sect Master and the various elders expressed their unwillingness.

Even with resentment, they looked at the woman.

The woman glanced at them and said, "You do not understand what the Martial Arts True Intent is, and my explaining is futile."

"But, I will tell you a truth that has been eternal on the Flame Dragon Continent."

"Truth?" Duan Yun and the others frowned.

What truth could be eternal on the Flame Dragon Continent?

The answer was simple.

The woman opened her mouth indifferently, revealing four words, "Strength is respected."

"And not talent, not Martial Souls."

"The Martial Arts Ice Crystal Martial Soul has a heaven-defying effect, leading you to even forget how to view the essence of things."

"Open your eyes wide and see clearly."

"Xiao Yi is only 20 years old, yet he can defeat all of you, defeat Bai Mohan, that is an undeniable fact."

"Do not bring up the so-called Fire Control Beast Martial Soul."

"What Xiao Yi has achieved today proves that he will be able to do the same in the future."

"Perhaps, in your eyes, decades later, Bai Mohan will grow up, learn thousands of Martial Arts, and become unparalleled in strength."

"But what about Xiao Yi?"

"What height will he reach decades from now?"

Saying this, the woman no longer paid attention to the Sect Master and the others but turned to look at Xiao Yi.

"Are you satisfied with the outcome today?" the woman asked.

"What the Sect can do for you, the justice it can obtain for you, is only this much for now."

Xiao Yi nodded, "I'm satisfied."

He knew that the Senior Swordswoman had today taken the initiative to forsake the title of 'National Church', which was essentially a break with the King and others.

And this was like a breath of fresh air on behalf of the Sect for Xiao Yi.

"Senior, I just want to know the cure for Elder Yi," Xiao Yi said urgently.

The woman chuckled lightly, "Follow me."

With those words, the woman made a sweeping gesture with her hand.

Xiao Yi, along with Elder Yi's body, vanished into thin air.

Third update.
