Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Robbery?

In the Scrolls Room, Xiao Yi quickly browsed through the scrolls.

He skimmed through them at a rapid pace, taking in ten lines at a glance.

After half a day, he stopped his search.

”So that’s how it is,” Xiao Yi revealed a look of sudden realization.

The four words ”Wind Saint Territory” were ones he had heard many times before.

But he had not known what they meant, nor had he delved deeper.

Now he finally understood.

The so-called Wind Saint Territory was an incredibly vast area that contained over a hundred kingdoms.

Among them were Fengxu Kingdom and Gale Kingdom, two of the kingdoms within.

However, Gale Kingdom was one of the stronger kingdoms.

As for Fengxu Kingdom, located on the periphery, it was rather weak.

In the entire Wind Saint Territory, the strongest was the Wind Saint Empire, which also happened to be the only empire there.

The Wind Saint Empire itself boasted an immensely large territory, with dozens of subordinate nations beneath its control.

”With such a vast territory, do they really need to covet the small regions owned by Fengxu Kingdom?” Xiao Yi couldn’t help but frown.

Clearly, they did not.

Therefore, there could only be one possibility.

The Wind Saint Empire, or perhaps the Gale Kingdom, desired something else.

The only thing in Fengxu Kingdom worthy of such covetousness was one thing...

”The Ancient Secret Realm,” Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

However, inside the Fengxu Secret Realm, the most important inheritance had already been obtained by him.

As for Fengxu Kingdom, the Wind Saint Empire would not dare send its strong forces again due to the rules.

And the Gale Kingdom, with both of its Earth Extreme Peak experts already slain by him, also posed no threat.

Fengxu Kingdom should no longer face any wars.

After all, during the great battle that day in Wind Returning City, two Earth Extreme Peaks had fallen.

Even the other subordinate kingdoms of the Wind Saint Empire would probably not dare to act recklessly.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly and suddenly smiled.

”It seems facing off against the Wind Saint Empire is by no means unjustified.”

Xiao Yi set down the scroll in his hand and stood up to leave the Scrolls Room.

The information he had gathered in this half day’s research was more than enough.

He once thought that Fengxu Kingdom solely revered Wind Shattering Hall.

But in reality, the entire Wind Saint Territory revered Wind Shattering Hall.

In the entire Wind Saint Territory, other than Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall, there were no other Ancient Palaces.

He planned to leave the Wind Saint Territory.

By now, he somewhat understood the vastness of the Central Region.

The Wind Saint Territory was just one part of the Central Region.

If the Wind Saint Territory was so immense,

one could only imagine how vast the entire Central Region was.

But no matter how vast a region may be, one day, he was determined to traverse each and every one.

After saying farewell to the Sub Hall Master of Asura Hall,

Xiao Yi left the Asura Hall.

He traveled straight out of Fengxu Kingdom’s territory.

The Wind Saint Territory was grand, requiring the crossing of nearly fifty kingdoms to leave.

Traveling at full speed, it should take about a month to exit.

Although crossing a single kingdom did not take him much time,

there were many disconnected areas between kingdoms.

Various dangerous grounds, Demon Beast Forests, and so forth.

Therefore, Xiao Yi estimated a longer duration, a full month.

In a month’s time, he was one hundred percent confident he could cross this territory.

Two days later, Xiao Yi had already crossed seven or eight kingdoms.

”The kingdom ahead should be Thousand Wind Kingdom,” he mused to himself while high in the sky.

Since he planned to exit the Wind Saint Territory, he naturally took the time to review the layout and maps of all the kingdoms within the territory.

Just at that moment.

Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...

Dozens of figures soared into the air, instantly surrounding Xiao Yi.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi’s eyebrows furrowed.

”Kid, leave your Universe Ring and Qiankun Bag, and you can beat it,” one of the leading middle-aged men said sinisterly.

”Of course, you also have the option to die, and then we’ll take the Universe Ring from your corpse.”

”Robbery?” Xiao Yi was taken aback, having originally thought they were powerful beings from the Wind Saint Empire.

Xiao Yi sensed the... let’s call them mountain bandits, arrayed before him.

These dozens of mountain bandits were almost all in the late stages of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Only a few stronger ones were at the peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The leaders included two Martial Artists of the Earth Extreme First Layer.

”With such strength, to engage in such a demeaning activity?” Xiao Yi’s face showed confusion.

”Quit your yapping, kid.” The head bandit barked coldly.

”Don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to attend the Thousand Wind Conference.”

”Thousand Wind Conference?” Xiao Yi frowned.

”Still playing dumb, kid?” The head bandit sneered mockingly.

”Hehe, the Thousand Wind Conference, once every five years, attracts countless Martial Artists like ducks to water, all seeking to temper their bodies and bolster their Cultivation at the perilous Thousand Wind site.”

”Although we are powerful Martial Artists, we too lack ample Cultivation Resources.”

”This place is the necessary path to the Thousand Wind Kingdom.”

”Lurking here for a month, we rob more than what we could gain from ten years of hard cultivation.”

”I see,” Xiao Yi nodded.

”Enough talk,” the leader of the mountain bandits said coldly. ”Hand over your treasures and scram.”

”Heh,” Xiao Yi chuckled lightly. ”You’ve been here robbing for quite a while, haven’t you?”

”So what if we have?” The mountain bandit leader sneered. ”What, you gonna beg for mercy, kid?”

”Or are you still pretending that you just happen to be passing by here, not to participate in the Thousand Wind Conference, so you have no treasures on you?”

”I am indeed just passing by,” Xiao Yi said with a light laugh.

”Hahahaha,” the mountain bandit leader laughed with amusement. ”Kid, do you really think such a lame lie could fool me?”

”You’re still too green.”

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, ”I am indeed just passing by, but I’m not begging for mercy, just wanted to clear things up, that’s all.”

”Clear up what, you want to die with understanding?” The surrounding gang of mountain bandits laughed out loud.

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Clear up whether you guys have enough treasure on you. If it’s too little, I can’t be bothered to make a move.”

”But now it seems, it’s worth my while.”

”Huh? What did you say, kid?” The mountain bandit leader was taken aback.

Swoosh... The next second, the mountain bandit leader only saw a blur before his eyes, as Xiao Yi disappeared from sight.

When Xiao Yi reappeared, he was already beside him.

Boom... a loud bang.

Xiao Yi punched out, and the mountain bandit leader was sent flying, vomiting blood.

Being only at Earth Extreme First Layer, how could he withstand a punch from Xiao Yi?

”Crap, we’ve run into a tough one,” the other Earth Extreme First Layer mountain bandit leader’s face changed as he shouted, ”Retreat!”

The dozens of mountain bandits scattered like birds.

”Thinking of running?” Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed.

Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure turned into a series of phantoms.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Dozens of explosions followed.

The mountain bandits, including the two bandit leaders, were all blown to the ground by Xiao Yi, each one falling and wailing in pain.

With a sweep of his hand, Xiao Yi snatched the Universe Rings and Qiankun Bags from their bodies.

With a playful glance, he scanned the group of bandits.

”Indeed, I was just passing by, but since you insisted on giving me treasures, I’ll gladly accept them.”

With those words, Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, and he was gone.

The remaining mountain bandits had looks of utter dejection.

All the hard-gotten loot of the month had gone to clothe another, providing Xiao Yi with an effortless windfall.
