Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Xiao Yi Appears

”Hall Master, you can take it as my threat,” Heavenly Gold Hall Master said coldly.

”But you only have a choice.”

The Hall Master furrowed his brows, caught in hesitation.

Beside him, Vice Hall Master Ji Fan’s face turned pale as he slowly approached.

”Hall Master, I didn’t expect it to be about Sword Sect’s Genius Xiao Yi; it led to Heavenly Gold Hall Master venting his anger on Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao.”

”Hall Master must be cautious.”

The Hall Master nodded.

”Damn it,” just then, Divine Martial King’s aura surged.

”Do you think the Palace Master can keep you safe afterward?”

”He can indeed.” Heavenly Gold Hall Master was not intimidated by Divine Martial King’s aura, but instead displayed a confident demeanor.

”Most importantly, we are fully aware that Divine Martial King, you wouldn’t go to war over a mere Xiao Yi.”

”A dead Xiao Yi is worthless.”

”Although Xiao Yi is currently your successor, he is neither your kin nor kith.”

”Though Divine Martial King is eager to find a successor, with his Cultivation, living another few hundred years is no problem at all.”

”A few hundred years is enough time for Divine Martial King to find a new successor.”

”You...” Divine Martial King’s fists clenched loudly.

The Hall Master spoke again, his voice deep, ”Even if I make a promise now, what if I reneged later?”

”The wrath of both me and Divine Martial King is something you cannot bear.”

”The same words again,” Heavenly Gold Hall Master said with a confident smile.

”To the Hall Master, Xiao Yi has nothing to do with him, he is not related whatsoever.”

”If the Hall Master decides to break his promise later, losing all his wisdom, there is nothing we can do.”

”At worst, it would just be Divine Martial King and Hall Master against our Heavenly Gold Main Hall and all the martial artists of the Heavenly Gold Kingdom.”

”Would you really go to war over a dead Xiao Yi, causing misery and suffering?”

”Indeed.” Flame Martial King suddenly stepped towards Divine Martial King.

As the Flame Martial King, he naturally was present.

”Grandpa Xuan, Heavenly Gold Hall Master is right.”

”Not only should we not go to war over trivial thief Xiao Yi, but we also cannot let him be.”

”Otherwise, my Flame Martial Kingdom will definitely suffer great misery.”

Flame Martial King gave several bows to Divine Martial King.

Divine Martial King was once the King of Flame Martial Kingdom.

In terms of seniority, Divine Martial King was like Flame Martial King’s great-grandfather.

While speaking, Flame Martial King glanced at Bai Mohan standing beside him, and said, ”Grandpa Xuan, this is the number one Heavenly Talent of our Flame Martial Kingdom, Bai Mohan.”

”His Martial Soul is the rare Martial Arts Ice Crystal.”

”Even if Xiao Yi is dead, all his Martial Arts Knowledge and techniques will be acquired by him.”

”With Xiao Yi dead, Bai Mohan taking over as Grandpa Xuan’s successor is appropriate.”

”Mohan is sure to satisfy Grandpa Xuan.”

Flame Martial King clearly took great pride when introducing Bai Mohan’s Martial Soul.

He even had great confidence that Divine Martial King would agree.

The effects of the Martial Arts Ice Crystal Martial Soul were known to all the powerful people present.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Divine Martial King suddenly erupted in anger, ”Damn thing, how could anyone who awakens such an evil item as the Martial Arts Ice Crystal as their Martial Soul be a good person.”

”If such a character were to inherit the position of Supreme Commander of the fortress, not only the entire fortress but the entire continent would become his slaughter field to absorb power as he wishes.”

”Such words can actually come out of your mouth, as a dignified king?”

Originally, Divine Martial King was just angry; now, he was utterly furious, disappointed as though he was frustrated with an incorrigible disciple.

Bai Mohan’s face momentarily showed a sinister expression.

Seeing this, Heavenly Gold Hall Master chuckled, ”Young friend Mohan, Flame Martial King, no need to worry.”

”Today, with the two of you helping me, the rewards I promised earlier will definitely be honored.”

”Especially for young friend Mohan, breaking through to the Extreme Realm soon, with added Martial Arts Power, your life will be prolonged, and your future is bound to be limitless.”

”Thank you, senior Heavenly Gold Hall Master,” Bai Mohan respectfully bowed.

In fact, it was Heavenly Gold Hall Master who had approached Bai Mohan and Flame Martial King.

Both of them harbored deep hatred for Xiao Yi.

Plus, with the promise of substantial Cultivation Items from the Heavenly Gold Hall Master, they naturally agreed to help.

”Alright, Hall Master, it’s time for you to make your promise,” Heavenly Gold Hall Master said, his tone somewhat impatient.

”Also, to prevent any accidents, please write a letter personally and attach your aura imprint as a guarantee.”

”Don’t force me to make a move on your successor.”

”You...” Facing the relentless pressure of the Heavenly Gold Hall Master, the Hall Master’s complexion turned extremely ugly, yet he still hesitated.

He did not want to agree to such an absurd promise.

But Yi Xiao was the successor he had searched for a long time.

And unlike the Divine Martial King who had only met Xiao Yi briefly,

he had interacted with Yi Xiao for a long time, watching him progress step by step from the mere Earth Origin Realm to become a powerful Martial Artist with Extreme Realm Combat Power today.

Between him and Yi Xiao, although they were not master and disciple, they shared a deep connection.

The Heavenly Gold Hall Master clearly had planned for a long time and calculated everything into his scheme.

His greatest confidence lay in his identity as the Heavenly Gold Hall Master and his alliance with the Golden Emperor.

These two almost represented everything in the Heavenly Gold Kingdom.

Naturally, they could not trouble the Divine Martial King and the Hall Master even though both had greatly reduced in strength.

But they were not worried about any unbearable consequences that might follow this affair.

Of course, another source of confidence was that the Hall Master highly valued the successor, Yi Xiao.

He would make great concessions for Yi Xiao.

In their view, possessing the Main Hall Token was akin to controlling Yi Xiao’s life.

And even more so, it meant controlling the Hall Master’s vulnerability.

”A bunch of scum.” At that moment, a cold voice could no longer be contained.

”Thinking of killing my Sword Sect’s inheritor? I will take your lives first.”

The speaker was the Senior Swordswoman.

A Cold Frost sword suddenly appeared in her hand.

”Hehe.” The Heavenly Gold Hall Master, unconcerned.

”Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, I indeed forgot about you.”

”I admit you are strong, even comparable to the Divine Martial King and the Hall Master.”

”But your strength has greatly declined now, and you can’t trouble us.”

Indeed, the woman had also been afflicted with the Black Sea Poison.

She was initially present at the banquet.

”Anyone involved in killing my grandson, I will not let go,” the Heavenly Gold Hall Master’s face brimmed with ferocity.

”Sky-splitting Sword Maiden, I’ll handle you.”

”Everyone else, kill the Sword Sect’s group right here.”

”Yes.” Bing Wuying, Bing Xuantian, along with leaders from Heavenly Gold and Black Wood Countries replied in unison.

A total of six Late-stage Extreme Realm Martial Artists made their move instantly.

”Seeking death.” The woman’s eyes turned frosty.

”Hmph.” The Heavenly Gold Hall Master coldly shouted, ”Golden Emperor, take the token and go to the Main Hall, quickly kill Xiao Yi.”

”Okay.” Golden Emperor and the others nodded.

Just then, a cold voice appeared out of nowhere.

”No need, I’ve come myself.”

The instant the words were spoken, an elegant figure broke through the sky.

Sword Qi filled the sky, raging powerfully.

At the same time, a sudden blizzard descended.

”Sword Qi augmented by the Great Freedom Sword Dao?”

”What terrifying Cold Ice Power.”

The six leaders, originally attacking the Sword Sect’s group, were instantly repelled.

The figure from afar then gently landed in front of the Sword Sect’s group.

It was Xiao Yi, who had left the Main Hall intending to come and clear things up with the woman and the Hall Master.

”Senior,” Xiao Yi addressed the woman beside him with a bow.

”Senior Divine Martial King,” Xiao Yi then turned to the Divine Martial King, bowing again.

”Ah, good.” The Divine Martial King’s eyes filled with appreciation, ”Less than a month out of seclusion and your strength has surged again, amazing, truly amazing.”

”Senior Divine Martial King flatters me,” Xiao Yi replied calmly.

”Sword Sect’s Genius, Xiao Yi.” The Hall Master frowned, his expression complex.

”Hall Master, I...” Xiao Yi’s expression was also complex.

He had left the Main Hall, intending indeed to come and clarify things.
