Soul Emperor Martial God

The woman, clad in a flowing white robe, stood with her hands clasped behind her back.

She glanced at the dozens of streaks of light in the sky, then at the chill in Xiao Yi's eyes.

"How is it, do you want to kill him?" the woman asked softly.

Xiao Yi nodded without hesitation, "The king is only at the mid-stage of the Extreme Realm, he won't be able to protect him for long."

"Just at the mid-stage of the Extreme Realm, he won't be able to protect him for long?" the woman said with an amused smile, "That's a bold claim."

"However, even if you truly have such confidence, it might still be difficult to achieve."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi showed a puzzled expression.

The woman smiled and said, "Regarding this grand event, you've been in seclusion for half a year, unaware of it."

"And I have already explained it to the other Sect disciples."

"Now, I shall explain it to you as well."

"This grand event is called the East Sea Festival, held on the East Sea Coast."

"The entire Flame Dragon Continent, Sixteen Kingdoms, Sixteen Main Halls, and thirty-one Martial Arts Holy Lands are all participating."

"It is the most important event on the Flame Dragon Continent, held once every hundred years."

"It can be said to be a gathering of powerhouses, making the continent boil with excitement."

Speaking, the woman chuckled lightly, "I don't mind telling you, this time, you will witness amazing things."

Xiao Yi looked surprised and asked, "I wonder what this event compares, and why is it held?"

The woman replied, "It compares the strength among the younger generation of various major powers."

"The real heavenly talents will gather on the East Sea Coast."

"Some of them are even far beyond Bai Mohan."

"As for why it is held..."

The woman paused then said, "I won't tell you that now; you'll understand once you're there."

Xiao Yi frowned upon hearing this.

In fact, about the content of this event, the Hall Master had already talked to him about it when he left the Main Hall half a year ago.

The content spoken and what the Senior Swordswoman said now were quite similar.

Although the Hall Master was more detailed.

However, when Xiao Yi asked why it was held, the Hall Master also glossed over it, just answering 'you'll know when you go.'

"East Sea Festival, heavenly talent gathering," Xiao Yi muttered to himself, a trace of an inexplicable smile flashing across his face.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's set off," the woman commanded at this moment.

The members of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect took to the air, embarking on their journey once again.

Jie Mo, Meteor Sword Master, and others, all flew beside Xiao Yi.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi wore a puzzled look.

"It's nothing," Jie Mo replied self-deprecatingly, "Just marveling."

"Over a year ago, we could still spar and compete."

"Yet a year later, you've far outpaced us all."

"Now, we can't even hope to see your back."

"How can there be such a great disparity between people?" the Fierce Tiger Sword Master sighed and shook his head.

"One of the twins, truly extraordinary."

"Twins?" Xiao Yi frowned, puzzled.

Beside him, Ye Ming laughed and said, "Junior Brother Xiao Yi, your reputation is quite resonant now."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi uttered in surprise.

Ye Ming explained again.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh dryly upon hearing this.

Half a year ago, only the Senior Swordswoman knew that he had killed Chengtian.

But she was lazy, even too lazy to tell the Great Elder and others.

Thus, the matter did not truly reach the Flame Martial Kingdom from the Extreme Cold Land until several months later.

The incident shocked the world.

Chengtian, as a Grand Guardian of the Ice Martial Kingdom, was a well-known figure for many years.

Yet, he was publicly killed by a young man in his early twenties.

This event was shocking but also understandable.

At the same time, another shocking news spread.

Six Demon Hunting Halls in the Extreme Cold Land harbored ill intentions, plotting rebellion.

The high-ranking Cold Ice Palace Master was even frequently murdering and looting in the Extreme Cold Land, tarnishing the reputation of the Demon Hunting Hall.

This matter was affirmed by both the Flame Martial Main Hall and the Ice Martial Main Hall and was declared to the world.

Moreover, Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao of the Flame Martial Main Hall, under the command of the Hall Master, had executed the Cold Ice Palace Master on the spot.

Throughout the history of the Demon Hunting Hall, spanning countless years, every Hall Master had been revered by others.

Violating the rules of the hall, harboring malicious intents, there were very few.

The Cold Ice Palace Master's intention to rebel was shocking.

That he, a Palace Master, had died at the hands of a young Martial Artist barely past 20, was even more astonishing.

Months ago, when this news reached the Flame Martial Kingdom, it caused a sensation.

To be able to kill a renowned Extreme Realm Expert at 20, what monstrous talent must one have?

While everyone was shocked by these two Supreme Geniuses, they also discovered many similarities between them.

First, both were very young, barely past 20.

Second, they both started as nameless individuals and rose rapidly like meteors.

Their feats, each more impressive than the last, were astonishing.

And both were renowned Alchemists.

Most importantly, both hailed from what was once considered the weakest, Northern Mountain County.

Some had suspected that they were the same person.

After all, they had too many similarities.

However, a Fire Control Beast Martial Soul completely dispelled everyone's doubts.

Thus, enthusiasts coined a title for them, the "twins of destiny."

Meaning the chosen children of destiny among heavenly talents.

One was the Sword Dao Genius of Sky-splitting Sword Sect, the strongest Sword Master of this generation, with two inheritances.

One was a talented Fire Control Warrior, the next successor of the Flame Martial Main Hall.

They were destined rivals, yet who was stronger or weaker?

This question had led to much discussion after tea and meals.

Some even held spirited debates.

But to this day, there's still no conclusion.

"Ha, the twins of destiny." Xiao Yi suddenly laughed.

At this moment, Zhou Yueyao, looking guilty, said, "Xiao Yi, though we are from the same Sect."

"Last time at the debate, I supported Purple Flame, sorry."

"Uh." Xiao Yi appeared slightly awkward but waved his hand, indicating it was fine.

The group, chatting casually, headed towards East Sea Coast.

The East Sea Coast, in fact, was not far from Flame Martial Kingdom.

After crossing the last county of the East Six Counties, one would be within the bounds of the East Sea.

Simply put, if one walked to the far east of Flame Martial Kingdom and left its borders, they'd reach the East Sea Coast.

Speaking of the East Sea Coast, the first thing that comes to mind is the ancient Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall.

Of course, the Main Hall now only holds symbolic significance.

And about the East Sea Coast, it can only be described in one word: mundane.

Yes, mundane.

There, never had there been a Beast Tide, a rebellion, or anything noteworthy.

No Martial Artist would go to such a mundane place for experience.

There weren't even any interesting stories coming from there.

In short, this mundaneness carried a hint of mystery.

Xiao Yi, when previously visiting the East Six Counties, had also wondered.

Back then, he thought, where there are people, there must be Jianghu, in the Flame Dragon Continent, how could there truly be a mundane place?

Something abnormal is a sign of a monster.

...

While the group from Sky-splitting Sword Sect hurried towards the East Sea Coast.

In the Royal Capital, inside the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, there was chaos.

The Hall Master, pacing anxiously, asked, "Is there still no news of that boy?"

In front, several Sub Hall Masters, looking troubled, shook their heads.

Suddenly, a Sub Hall Master quickly walked in from outside the room.

"Hall Master, there's a message from Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao."

"Oh? Bring it here quickly." The Hall Master's face lit up.

After reading the message, the Hall Master chuckled lightly.

"Hall Master, how is it?" Several Sub Hall Masters asked in unison.

The Hall Master softly said, "The boy's message says he will arrive at the East Sea Coast on time, so we needn't worry."

"Let's set off as well."

"Yes." The cluster of Sub Hall Masters responded in unison.

...

Third update.
