Soul Emperor Martial God

The King had not expected Xiao Yi to possess such combat power, and was caught off guard, which was why he was repelled.

Now, having recovered, he watched as the Sect Master and eight elders were killed in an instant, his face ugly to the extreme.

"You little bastard, you're seeking death," the King roared in anger, ready to make a move against Xiao Yi.

He was the Flame Martial King.

He had just publicly announced the Sect Master and the others as his Honored Guardians.

And now, in just one encounter, the Sect Master and the others were killed right under his watch.

How could he not be furious?

However, just as he was about to strike,

A mysterious icy gaze made him shiver.

The gaze came from a woman.

"Flame Martial King, have you forgotten my warning?" The woman's pleasant yet icy voice rang out.

The Flame Martial King instantly dismissed the thought of attacking, his figure flashed, and he left with Su Bai, controlling the air.

At the spot, only the cold corpses of the Sect Master and nine others remained.

Around them, the guests who had arrived with joy were now silent as cicadas in winter, afraid to even breathe heavily.

"Aren't you leaving? Planning to stay for dinner?" The Great Elder roared.

The Martial Artists from various powers seemed to have received an amnesty, bowing hurriedly, "Senior, Sword Sect Elders, we take our leave."

Afterward, they all quickly departed.

Xiao Yi coldly glanced at them.

Beside him, the Great Elder said, "Xiao Yi, don't be impulsive."

"The matter of Brother Tianxing from years ago has nothing to do with them."

"They just chose to stand on the side of the Sect Master and the others."

The Great Elder was genuinely afraid Xiao Yi would start a massacre.

And from the looks of it, if Xiao Yi were indeed to do so, no one could stop him.

Seeing how firm Senior Swordswoman was today, she was unlikely to hinder him in the slightest.

Xiao Yi remained silent, simply nodding his head.

The next second, a burst of Sword Qi from his Blizzard Sword was unleashed into the air.

It must be said, the Martial Artists from various powers were not weak, having only just left not long ago, they had already moved far away from the Sword Sect's gates, down below the Sword Mountain.

At this moment, the Martial Artists finally took a breath of relief.

Undoubtedly, the death of the Sect Master and others had terrified them greatly.

But at this very moment, a severe Sword Qi came from above the Sword Mountain.

The Sword Qi was incredibly precise, with a hiss, it bifurcated the Ao Family Patriarch and a group of Ao Family Martial Artists.

"Th-this…" The pupils of the Martial Artists from various powers constricted.

The next second, like startled birds, they dispersed instantly, fleeing the scene.

On Sword Mountain, inside the gate, Xiao Yi retracted the Blizzard Sword.

The Great Elder and others glanced at it.

With their strength, they naturally knew about the Ao Family Martial Artists who were bifurcated outside the gate, but they said nothing more.

At this moment, the previously bustling Sky-splitting Sword Sect fell into silence.

All the guests had left, leaving only the elders, deacons, and disciples within the sect.

But at this moment, everyone's faces were complex, and they remained silent for a long time.

The woman spoke first, "Once the matters are dealt with, find me in the bamboo forest."

After speaking, the woman's figure flashed, and she was gone.

Xiao Yi nodded.

At the spot, the Great Elder said to the deacons, "Clear the banquet, go back to your duties."

"Yes," the deacons obeyed.

A few hesitating elders asked, "Great Elder, what about the corpses of the Sect Master and the others?"

The Great Elder looked at the corpses of the Sect Master and others, his face complex.

After a long moment, he sighed and said, "Leave them exposed to the elements for three days as a form of repentance and to serve as a warning to the disciples of the sect."

"After three days, find a good place outside the sect and bury them."

"What?" one of the hesitating elders exclaimed, "According to the rules of the sect, they should be buried in the back mountain, and their spiritual tablets placed in the sect shrine..."

The Great Elder interrupted angrily, "They had just openly betrayed the sect."

"Do you know what the crime of betraying the sect means?"

"Would you still place their spiritual tablets in the sect shrine and desecrate the ancestors of the sect?"

"I dare not," the hesitating elder quickly replied, then spoke no further.

Meanwhile, Lingg Yu stood still, his gaze fixed on the corpses of the Sect Master for a long time without moving.

Not far away, Zhong Wuyou, Ye Ming, and Bai Bingxue walked towards Xiao Yi.

"Well, look who's alive and well. I thought you were already gone without a trace," Zhong Wuyou said with a laugh.

"Truly worthy of being the opponent I've set my eye on."

Ye Ming looked at Xiao Yi excitedly and muttered to himself, "It's good that you're back, good that you're back."

Bai Bingxue, with a somewhat strange expression on her face, remained silent but kept staring at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi gave a faint smile and said, "I won't chat with you for now, I have something to discuss with the Senior Swordswoman."

With that, Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he flew away.

A clear and cold gaze followed the direction in which the king had left, and his eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

There had long been rumors that after leaving the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, Bai Mohan had taken residence in the Royal Palace.

Moreover, he was heavily cultivated by the king.

Over the past few months, after comprehending the royal inheritance, his strength had greatly increased, and he had stepped into the Late-stage Heavenly Origin Realm.

Today, he had been delayed; it was heard that he was still comprehending the inheritance.

The Flame Martial Kingdom had inherited countless years.

Even more so, its inheritance was even older than that of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

For such a vast kingdom, Xiao Yi absolutely didn't believe it lacked powerful cards or terrifying heritage.

Xiao Yi was well aware that he couldn't move against them just yet.

But that day wouldn't be too far off.

...

Outside the bamboo forest, Xiao Yi gathered his spirits, and in an instant, he arrived at the pavilion.

Without surprise, inside the pavilion, the lady was back to her usual laziness, comfortably savoring the tea.

"Senior," Xiao Yi gave a bow.

"Hmm," the woman nodded, then smiled and said, "Good, very good."

The woman praised repeatedly.

The next second, her brows slightly furrowed as she said, "Only you have returned, it seems the Ice Heart Holy Fruit was of no use to Tianxing boy."

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded.

The woman furrowed her brows and said, "Even a Ninth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure is useless, it seems you truly only have that one path left."

Xiao Yi gave a slight smile and said, "The youngster has been prepared, not afraid."

The path the Senior Swordswoman was referring to was naturally achieving the position of a Martial God.

"Good, very good," the woman agreed again with satisfaction.

"The position of Martial God, elusive and unattainable."

"For countless years, numerous martial artists have desperately sought it but never achieved it."

"The end of the Martial Arts Dao, no one has ever reached it, yet you remain unafraid."

"Just because of this, I dare say your future achievements will be extraordinary."

"You flatter me too much," Xiao Yi bowed with his hands clasped.

It was not that he was fearless or overly confident.

He just knew he had no other choice.

"Alright, tell me about the Extreme Cold Land," the woman said, pouring a cup of hot tea.

Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile and briefly recounted the situation of the Extreme Cold Land.

"Oh? The Snow Winged Eagle Clan Leader threw you off the Snowy Sacred Mountain, haha."

"Truly her style."

"Oh, you've captured the legendary creature, the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor?"

"And the inheritance of the Blizzard Manor Master? Tsk tsk, that fellow isn't very strong, but his Blizzard Sword is indeed formidable."

...

Xiao Yi did not divulge everything, just selectively informed.

Once done, a flash of light shone from the Universe Ring in Xiao Yi's hand.

An ice sculpture appeared out of thin air.

"This..." The woman slightly furrowed her brows, but as soon as she saw the face inside the ice sculpture, her expression changed, "The body of the Wind Snow Sword Master."

Xiao Yi nodded and recounted how the Wind Snow Sword Master had died and about the Cold Ice Palace Master.

However, Xiao Yi did not mention the cave, nor the Ice Venerable.

Everyone has secrets.

Xiao Yi simply said that he found the body of the Wind Snow Sword Master from beneath the rift.

"Rubbish!" The woman was suddenly furious.

After a while, the woman calmed down her anger, regaining her usual tranquility and indifference.

Her gaze turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Since Chengtian has already died at your hands, I won't bother about it."

"As for the matter of the Cold Ice Palace Master, I will personally seek justice for you."

Xiao Yi's brows slightly furrowed and he said, "Maybe let the youngster resolve it himself."

"After all, the status of the Demon Hunting Hall is extraordinary..."

"What's there to fear?" the woman waved her hand and interrupted, "It's just the Demon Hall, I've dismantled it before."
