Soul Emperor Martial God

Whiz... Whiz... Whiz...

Previously, Xiao Yi was advancing deeper.

But now, he was moving laterally.

He was confident that he could leave this Mist Mountain Range silently. His greatest confidence did not come from his ability to erase his tracks.

If he were alone, he could easily escape.

He had experienced too many pursuits and life-threatening situations.

When he was alone, he had many methods to flee far away or even counter Liuo Kai and others.

But now he was with Huoo Linlang, and the mission's objective was to bring her safely back to the Demon Hunting Hall.

His greatest confidence came from the fact that this was the Mist Mountain Range.

This place was covered by the Ice Venerable's Illusion Array.

He possessed knowledge of the Ice Venerable's formation, having long seen through this illusion array, allowing him to easily traverse it.

Other people stepping here would be akin to being trapped in a quagmire, unable to move.

Of course, Liuo Kai, this Peak of Saint Martial Artist, who was also an accomplished Array Master, was an exception.

Excluding Liuo Kai, no one else, including his subordinate Demon Hunters, could hope to track him.

Liuo Kai alone could not possibly trace them in this vast Mist Mountain Range.

An hour later, Xiao Yi had flown ten thousand miles laterally before stopping.

"This distance is enough." Xiao Yi stopped, then started flying towards the exit of the Mist Mountain Range.

Huoo Linlang closely followed behind.

If Xiao Yi wasn't going at full speed, it wasn't difficult for Huoo Linlang to keep up.

Another half hour later.

Xiao Yi and Huoo Linlang fell back to a range of five thousand miles.

"Another half hour, and we can completely leave the Mist Mountain Range," Xiao Yi said.

Huoo Linlang nodded, "Yi Xiao, they really didn't find us."

"With your rich experience and strong abilities, why are you just a regular Demon Hunter without a title?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, saying nothing as he continued flying.

A few minutes later.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly and suddenly stopped flying.

Ahead, a Demon Hunting Team appeared out of nowhere.

"Stop." This Demon Hunting Team immediately blocked Xiao Yi and Huoo Linlang's path.

"Bold Yi Xiao, aren't you going to surrender quickly?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

This Demon Hunting Team consisted of around ten people, led by someone at the Heavenly Extreme Peak.

The other members were all above the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

If unnecessary, Xiao Yi didn't want to have a conflict with them.

"Miss Linlang, rest assured, with us here, this wicked Yi Xiao won't harm you at all."

The leading Demon Hunter was a burly middle-aged man who coldly glared at Xiao Yi.

"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"Still dare to quibble?" The burly middle-aged man shouted coldly, "Yi Xiao, you have been wanted by the Main Hall of the Demon Hunting Hall."

"All major Law Enforcement Teams and Demon Hunting Teams are also pursuing you."

"If you are smart, release Miss Linlang and surrender."

"Release Huoo Linlang? Wanted me?" Xiao Yi wore a puzzled expression.

"Still pretending to be confused?" The burly middle-aged man shouted coldly.

"Master Liuo Kai had already found Miss Linlang, yet you coveted the high bounty from the Demon Hunting Hall and disrupted, abducting Miss Linlang."

"An audacious little thief, release Miss Linlang and surrender, maybe you'll still have a chance to live."

"Otherwise, all major Demon Hunting Teams have surrounded this place. You won't leave the Mist Mountain Range alive."

"When did I abduct Huoo Linlang?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow tightly.

"Nonsense." Huoo Linlang gazed directly at the crowd, "Who told you it was Yi Xiao who abducted me?"

"It was Liuo Kai who wanted to kill me, Yi Xiao saved me."

"A bunch of fools, believing anything you hear. Wait till I return to the Demon Hunting Hall, you'll regret it."

Huoo Linlang's spoiled nature was on full display.

"Uh... this..." The burly middle-aged man froze, scratching his head in confusion.

"What do you mean by this, Miss Linlang?"

"Master Liuo Kai wanted to kill you? How is that possible?"

As he said this, the burly middle-aged man leapt forward, warily staring at Xiao Yi.

"In any case, Miss Linlang, come over first; we'll ensure your safe escort back to the Demon Hunting Hall."

With that, the burly middle-aged man appeared in front of Xiao Yi, slightly sidestepping him, about to pull Huoo Linlang over.

"Wait." Xiao Yi's eyes turned cold as he stepped to block Huoo Linlang.

"Wicked Yi Xiao, what are you trying to do? Get out of the way," the burly middle-aged man's face changed.

The surrounding Demon Hunters immediately closed in.

Xiao Yi's eyes were icy, "Which Demon Hunting Team are you from?"

The burly middle-aged man sneered, "A mere yellow-haired brat, even if I tell you the name, would you know it?"

Xiao Yi coldly met his gaze, "Though I don't know all the names of the Demon Hunting Teams in Fangcun Territory,"

"I don't believe a Demon Hunting Team led by a Heavenly Extreme Realm Peak martial artist is nameless."

"State your name and show your Demon Hunting Team's identification."

"Hmph, then I will tell you," the burly middle-aged man snorted.

"We are..."

The burly middle-aged man's words suddenly stopped, then he shouted, "Stop this kid!"

Whiz... Whiz... Whiz...

The surrounding Demon Hunters instantly attacked Xiao Yi.

Meanwhile, the burly middle-aged man unleashed a full-force punch toward Huoo Linlang.

"As expected, there's something fishy." Xiao Yi squinted, waving his hand, causing a downpour of Purple Flames.

The searing heat directly stopped the attacking Demon Hunters.

Xiao Yi punched out, easily blocking the burly middle-aged man's blow.

Boom... A loud explosion echoed.

The burly middle-aged man was forced back by tens of steps, while Xiao Yi remained unmoved.

"Ah." Huoo Linlang exclaimed, "Yi Xiao, what is this?"

From the burly middle-aged man's sudden outburst to Xiao Yi repelling the surrounding people, it was but a moment.

Xiao Yi sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, you're from Liuo Kai's Demon Hunting Team, right?"

"I'm aware of Liuo Kai's Demon Hunting Team being the first in Fangcun Territory."

"Besides the main team, they have over ten subteams."

No matter where he was traveling, Xiao Yi remained extraordinarily vigilant, ensuring he could immediately unleash his full power when needed.

Naturally, in that previous punch, it was the burly middle-aged man, at the Heavenly Extreme Peak, who suffered.

"Quite the Purple Flame Yi Xiao." The burly middle-aged man cast aside his earlier confusion.

"No wonder you escaped from the captain's hands as a Demon Hunter."

"How did you find us?" Xiao Yi was puzzled by this.

"Why question a dead man," the burly middle-aged man sneered.

He suddenly crushed a jade pendant in his hand.

Crack... A crisp sound rang out.

"Puff." Behind, Huoo Linlang coughed up blood, turning pale.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi's expression changed.

"Hahaha." The burly middle-aged man laughed triumphantly, "Do you think our captain's methods are something you can imagine?"

"Today, that girl has to die, and so do you."

"It's a prohibition." Xiao Yi glanced at Huoo Linlang, instantly realizing what was happening.

An eerie cold aura suddenly emerged from Huoo Linlang's body.

"It was from then... Damn it." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

If he wasn't mistaken, it happened when he flew Huoo Linlang into the formation barrier, where she picked up this prohibition.

The formation barrier was under Liuo Kai's control.

With a single thought, Liuo Kai could leave a prohibition on Huoo Linlang through the barrier.
