Soul Emperor Martial God

Swish…

In the distance, a figure swiftly leaped towards them; it was the Fangcun City Lord.

His seclusion room was destroyed, and he naturally knew immediately, rushing over at once.

However, as he looked at the seclusion room that had been razed to the ground, and the formations burned into annihilation, his expression changed slightly.

"Boy, are you abnormal?" The Fangcun City Lord gazed at Xiao Yi with a startled expression.

He could clearly see that the 'culprit' behind all this was the domain Xiao Yi was currently unleashing.

"It's only been a few days, how many times has your strength multiplied?"

"The momentum erupting from your current domain is far stronger than when you fought full force against Ran Qi outside Fangcun City before."

"Uh." Xiao Yi said, slightly embarrassed, "I will fully compensate for the losses here."

"Haha, there's no need for that." The Fangcun City Lord waved his hand.

"The seclusion room, once gone, can be rebuilt; the formation can be laid back anytime by me."

Xiao Yi chuckled, "Anyway, thank you senior for lending me the seclusion room."

"I will gather the formation knowledge in two hours for the senior to comprehend as a token of appreciation."

"No, no, no." The Fangcun City Lord hurriedly waved his hand.

"The comprehension from that last time for two hours benefited me greatly."

"However, I have yet to fully grasp the understanding or control it completely."

"Further comprehension now would only add more trouble to me."

"Uh, well…" Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, I have important matters to attend to."

"If the senior does not need anything else, I would like to take my leave."

"Go ahead." The Fangcun City Lord nodded, as if expecting this.

"Though I've only interacted with you a few times, I've already figured out that you're the kind of person who can't stay idle."

"You're always very busy, never staying in one place for long."

"This Central Region is enormous, perhaps you don't know where you'll end up later."

"But, I hope when you return to Fangcun City in the future, you can visit my City Lord's Mansion as a guest."

"Naturally." Xiao Yi nodded, "In that case, I take my leave."

Xiao Yi cupped his hands in farewell, then flashed away.

He still needed a few more task points, so he planned to go to the Demon Hunting Hall to take on some tasks and then resume his demon hunting journey.

However, as he arrived at the entrance of the Demon Hunting Hall, he encountered a familiar figure.

"Linlang, why don't you come back with me first, okay?" The man spoke to Huoo Linlang in a pleading tone.

"Ever since you woke up, you've been waiting here all day, what exactly are you waiting for?"

"Don't bother me." Huoo Linlang replied discontentedly.

"Linlang, don't be so headstrong." The man's expression was helpless, saying, "The grand event in the palace is less than a month away."

"If you don't go back soon, I'm afraid…"

"I know what I'm doing, I said don't bother me, if you want to go back, you go back first." Huoo Linlang said angrily, her face full of impatience.

Beside Huoo Linlang, there were several elders.

At this moment, all the elders wore bitter smiles.

It was clear that even the stubborn Huoo Linlang was something they couldn't handle.

Just then, Xiao Yi walked by slowly.

Huoo Linlang's eyes immediately lit up, and the impatience on her face instantly turned to joy.

"Yi Xiao." Huoo Linlang called out, quickly walking up to Xiao Yi.

"Where did you run off to all day?"

Xiao Yi chuckled, "I'm a Demon Hunter, naturally I run around."

Huoo Linlang smiled and said, "Why don't you stop running around in the future and come back with me?"

"Go back with you?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

Huoo Linlang nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

"Wait a minute." The man beside them had a sullen look, "Such a gathering of heavenly talents, in a place where geniuses are everywhere, is not somewhere any random person can go."

"Guu Feifan, shut your mouth." Huoo Linlang coldly glared at him.

Then Huoo Linlang turned back to Xiao Yi, "My grandfather is..."

Xiao Yi interrupted with a smile, "No need, I'm used to wandering around."

"Alright, let's part ways here, see you when fate allows."

With that, Xiao Yi turned and headed towards the Demon Hunting Hall.

"Yi Xiao." Huoo Linlang called out anxiously.

The man sneered, "Linlang, why do you care about him? So-called Demon Hunters are merely people who take money to solve problems for others."

"He saved you, and we provided enough task rewards, you don't owe him anything."

Huoo Linlang suddenly frowned and quickly caught up with Xiao Yi.

"Yi Xiao, I found out what those triple task points mean."

"Did you save me for those high rewards?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Then…" Huoo Linlang hesitated, "If not for those rewards, would you have saved me?"

Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile, "What do you think?"

"You and I are strangers and have no relationship, if not for the task, why would I go to the Mist Mountain Range."

"And, whether you're injured or in danger, to me, you'd merely be a passerby, and I wouldn't care."

"Speaking of which." Xiao Yi chuckled, "This task was so dangerous, I suffered a lot of unnecessary injuries."

"If it weren't for the triple rewards, I would have lost out big on this mission."

"You…" Huoo Linlang's face instantly turned extremely downcast.

"Enough." Xiao Yi said impatiently, "Those elders, they're your family, right."

"Go back with them."

"Yes." Huoo Linlang nodded slowly, her previous stubborn manner completely gone.

Xiao Yi thoroughly turned away and left.

"Let's go, Linlang." The elders pulled Huoo Linlang away.

Then, one of the elders waved a big hand, and a gigantic flying ship appeared in mid-air.

Swish… Swish… Swish…

The group rose into the air, steering the massive ship away.

On the ship, Huoo Linlang continually stared at Xiao Yi's back, seemingly wanting to say something.

Only when the ship was far away did Xiao Yi, who had initially turned away, stop his steps.

Xiao Yi turned around, watching the ship depart, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise, "Within a day, numerous Saint King realm experts came to meet."

"The power behind you is not simple."

Indeed, the elders beside Huoo Linlang were all Saint King realm experts.

As for that man, Xiao Yi hadn't paid much attention to him previously, but now he examined him seriously.

The man, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, was exceptionally outstanding, having entered the Limitless Saint Realm.

The age looked to be around 28 or 29.

Undoubtedly, he was a highly exceptional heavenly talent.

To cultivate such heavenly talent, the power couldn't be simple.

"Sigh." Xiao Yi sighed, "You may be stubborn, but your heart is pure."

"Perhaps, you might be a friend worth befriending."

"But, befriending someone like me, for you, might not be a good thing."

Xiao Yi shook his head and then withdrew his gaze, stepping directly into the Demon Hunting Hall.

Task Department.

Xiao Yi took on many tasks, then left.

An employee suddenly said, "Deacon Yi Xiao, the Chief Steward requests your presence."

"Chief Steward?" Xiao Yi's eyes were ice-cold, "Not interested."

Coldly leaving those words behind, Xiao Yi exited the Demon Hunting Hall, controlling the air and flying away.
