Soul Emperor Martial God

Xiao Yi sent Bai Bingxue and three others flying.

Stood alone within the gates of the Ice Crystal Hall.

The Master of the Everday Palace and others did not stop him, but merely sneered.

"Xiao Yixiao, I've heard that when chasing the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor, Han Cang and Muu Bing joined you in pursuit."

"Both in sentiment and reason, you owe them a share, and should not monopolize it."

"Although you are a disciple of the Sword Sect, at this moment, several major powers of the Extreme Cold Land are present."

"I, as Palace Master, cannot stand by and watch the Heavenly Talents of my Extreme Cold Land be bullied by you."

The Master of the Everday Palace stood up from the main seat, hands behind his back, with an air of moral righteousness.

In fact, long before Xiao Yi and the others arrived, they had already plotted.

Han Cang and Feng Huayue's aggressive and taunting tone earlier was merely to provoke Xiao Yi and the others.

Once Xiao Yi and his companions could no longer restrain themselves and made a move, they would have an excuse to capture Xiao Yi on the spot.

However, to his utmost surprise, even after Han Cang and Feng Huayue's overbearing and excessively insulting words, Xiao Yi still forcefully held himself back.

Even with just a few words, he managed to diffuse the awkwardness and pushed Han Cang's taunts back at him.

Afterward, they proposed to trade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or other Treasures of equal value with Xiao Yi, as their last resort.

Yet to their frustration, Xiao Yi remained impervious.

He truly couldn't understand how such a young man, barely past his twenties, could possess such an extraordinary mentality.

Xiao Yi and the others were disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, and he did not wish to resort to direct combat unless necessary.

He indeed feared the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, which was the reason for setting up this elaborate banquet trap today.

And now, the choice to search Xiao Yi's Universe Ring or even to engage in combat was a last resort taken out of desperation.

"Am I the bully?" Xiao Yi chuckled coldly.

He had sensed something amiss as soon as he stepped into the Ice Crystal Hall.

That's why he had been enduring it all while and stopped Zhong Wuyou and others from taking action.

He truly had not expected the Palace Master of Everday and his cohort to be so shameless.

Of course, perhaps it was more that he hadn't expected the temptation of capturing a Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor to be so immense.

By now, he had already guessed the intentions of the Master of the Everday Palace and the others.

He even anticipated what the Master of the Everday Palace and his group would do next, which is why he immediately sent Bai Bingxue and the other three flying out of the Ice Crystal Hall.

"Enough talk, either hand over the Universe Ring, or we'll search you by force. Choose," Feng Huayue said mockingly.

"You want to search my Universe Ring?" Xiao Yi's mouth curled into a cold smile, "If you're capable, come and try."

The Master of the Everday Palace seated at the head shook his head and said, "Xiao Yixiao, it seems you really are intent on bullying the Heavenly Talents of my Extreme Cold Land."

"Very well, I shall seek justice on their behalf."

"Come, seize Xiao Yi for me."

The face of the Everday Palace Master turned instantly from courteous to fierce.

Nine Ice Palace Elders took action in a flash.

Xiao Yi's expression became frigid; his Universe Ring held many secrets that naturally could not be searched by others.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Several Sword Qi burst forth into the air.

The nine Ice Palace Elders were sent flying instantly.

The nine Ice Palace Elders weren't very strong.

Only the Ice Palace Great Elder ranked among the peak combatants.

"Hmm?" The Palace Master of the Everday furrowed his brow, "I almost forgot."

"Since you have the strength to capture the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor, you've proven that your power far surpasses that of ordinary peak combatants."

"So be it, I shall personally make my move."

"Xiao Yixiao, you can only blame your own greed and high-handedness."

As the words fell, the figure of the Everday Palace Master flashed and suddenly vanished from the seat.

The next second, when the figure reappeared, it was right in front of Xiao Yi, striking out with a heavy palm.

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, fully prepared.

His steps shifted mysteriously, and his Frost Sword, imbued with a lethal intent, thrust straight forward.

The perfect combination of the Wandering Cloud Kill Step and the Wandering Cloud Killing Sword.

However, Xiao Yi's all-out thrust was met with a solid palm strike from the Everday Palace Master.

There was a clang.

The Frost Sword vibrated intensely.

Xiao Yi was forced to retreat several steps.

But the Everday Palace Master appeared completely unharmed.

"An Extreme Realm Expert," Xiao Yi's complexion drastically changed.

With his current strength, even martial artists of Duan Yun's caliber would have to be cautious against his full-powered thrust.

Yet the Everday Palace Master had effortlessly blocked it with his bare hand.

Without being at the Infinite Realm, this would have been impossible.

Xiao Yi had previously sensed the Cultivation of everyone present.

In the whole room, only the Cultivation of the Everday Palace Master was unfathomable to him.

But he couldn't be sure.

He only knew that the aura of the Everday Palace Master was stronger than Duan Yun's, yet weaker than Su Bai's.

Su Bai was the person with the weakest aura he had sensed among Extreme Realm Martial Artists...

He could only use that for comparison.

There had long been rumors that the Master of the Everday Palace was an Extreme Realm First Layer martial artist.

But that was just a rumor, and the Evernight Palace Master never admitted it.

Now it seems that the rumor is true.

"Ha ha," the Evernight Palace Master sneered, "Xiao Yi, if you had been willing to hand over the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor earlier,"

"we wouldn't be looking so unsightly right now."

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "What of it, being in the Extreme Realm?"

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash."

Xiao Yi shouted lowly, and from his hand, the Cold Frost Sword heavily cleaved down.

A terrifying blizzard abruptly descended upon the skies above the Evernight Ice Palace.

An onslaught carrying the breath of destruction instantly assaulted the Ice Crystal Hall.

"Hm? Somewhat skilled," the Evernight Palace Master chuckled lightly, "But that's about it."

The Evernight Palace Master waved his hand magnanimously.

A powerful surge of Cold Ice Power gushed forth.

The storm in the sky dissipated in an instant.

Such is the power of an Extreme Realm Expert.

Even if only at the Extreme Realm First Layer, it was enough to leave Xiao Yi without recourse.

Just then, from a hidden spot, a figure charged out.

A palm struck Xiao Yi.

"Ptui." Xiao Yi spit out a mouthful of blood suddenly and was sent flying.

"Another Extreme Realm Expert," Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.

In his perception, the suddenly appearing figure's aura was almost the same as the Evernight Palace Master's.

"Dad," Feng Huayue suddenly called out triumphantly.

Clearly, the arrivant was the Snow Blade Sect Master.

"Humph," the Snow Blade Sect Master snorted coldly.

"You resist with all your might,"

"proving that the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor is indeed sealed within your Universe Ring."

"Evernight Palace Master, let's join forces and take down this boy right away."

"Good," the Evernight Palace Master nodded.

The two, in an instant, joined forces.

In the Extreme Cold Land, one palace, one sect, the strongest of two great powers took action at the same time.

Who could withstand that?

Slap... Slap...

Two imposing palms hammered down heavily on Xiao Yi's chest.

It happened almost in a flash.

Xiao Yi's upper garments were shattered, blood spewed from his mouth several times in succession, and he was blasted away.

His face had already turned as pale as paper; internally his organs were severely damaged.

Obviously, he was gravely injured.

"Damn it," Xiao Yi bit down on his teeth, enduring the intense pain, glanced at Bai Bingxue and the others who had already escaped, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, it was time to think of a way to get out.

As the heat of the moment was at its peak, the Evernight Palace Master and the Snow Blade Sect Master's expressions changed dramatically.

"Retreat," the Evernight Palace Master bellowed, quickly retreating.

The Snow Blade Sect Master did the same.

"Ice Armor?" the Evernight Palace Master's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, "Kid, who is the Sky-splitting Sword Maiden to you?"

Xiao Yi's upper body, with his clothing completely tattered, naturally revealed the Ice Armor underneath.

"She's just an elder of the sect," Xiao Yi stared coldly at these two men, his mind racing with thoughts of how to escape.

The Evernight Palace Master frowned and said, "Would she give her famed item to you if she were merely an elder?"

In just a few seconds, the Evernight Palace Master's face changed multiple times.

"Xiao Yi, let's put today's matter behind us, you may leave now," the Evernight Palace Master gritted his teeth.

"Don't, Evernight Palace Master," Han Cang exclaimed.

"Dad," Feng Huayue also turned her gaze to the Snow Blade Sect Master.

"Shut up," the Snow Blade Sect Master snapped without any movement.

"Get lost, kid."

"Hm?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly, but did not hesitate in the slightest.

He moved his feet and instantly departed.

After a long pause.

Han Cang spoke angrily, "Evernight Palace Master, what are you doing? We had a great opportunity just now, clearly we could've captured that boy and taken the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor."

"You know nothing," the Evernight Palace Master shouted angrily, wildly waving his hand and in an instant, the surrounding banquet turned into powder.

"In the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, even if it were the legendary Bai Mohan, I wouldn't hesitate to capture him on the spot."

"But that boy just now..."

"The Ice Armor is that woman's famed item. The boy wearing it indicates..."

The Evernight Palace Master's face was filled with ferocity, clearly furious about letting Xiao Yi go.

The Snow Blade Sect Master spoke gravely, "It signifies that the woman is telling everyone that the boy is under her protection."

"Is that woman really strong?" Han Cang asked with a frown.

"Strong?" The voice of the Evernight Palace Master trembled slightly, "She... is a nightmare."
