Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Setting Up the Barrier

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

All around, there are frequent sounds of rapid leaps.

The powerful aura signifies that the owners of these leap sounds are by no means weak.

”It’s those Black-clothed Martial Artists.” Lih Fengxing, Kuanglan Sect Master, and others sensed these auras and immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

With the disappearance of the captivating young man, the number of Black-clothed Martial Artists in the forest suddenly increased dramatically.

The battles that erupted also became increasingly fierce.

But for some reason, these Black-clothed Martial Artists traversed the forest, but before approaching the range of Xiao Yi and the others, they avoided it from afar.

”What’s going on, they’re bypassing us.” Lih Fengxing frowned, looking at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi remained silent, with his powerful awareness always covering the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

Beside him, Chu Rou thought for a moment and said, ”It might be that the battle of the young thief earlier deterred these Black-clothed Martial Artists.”

”They are not a match for the young thief; coming here would be a suicide mission, so they simply avoid it.”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, ”It’s not that they’re not coming, it’s just that the real show is yet to come.”

”What do you mean?” Chu Rou asked with confusion.

”Hunting, a game.” Xiao Yi frowned, ”We will be safe for a while.”

”These bastards think we’re prey? Damn.” Kuanglan Sect Master cursed coldly.

Xiao Yi slowly walked to the Eldest Prince’s side.

At this moment, the Eldest Prince was holding the unconscious Sixth Prince, silently.

It had been well known in the Wind Saint Territory that the Eldest Prince and Sixth Prince were siblings, and their bond was exceptionally strong.

”Step aside and let him down,” Xiao Yi said calmly.

The Eldest Prince nodded, laid down the Sixth Prince numbly, and then slowly stepped aside.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, releasing a surging awareness.

”His spirit is mostly scattered, but there’s hope.” Xiao Yi said softly.

”Really?” The Eldest Prince’s eyes lit up with hope as he stared at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded, and with a flick of light from his hand, an Elixir Elixir popped into the Sixth Prince’s mouth.

The Elixir Elixir entered, but the Sixth Prince showed no signs of waking.

”Xiao Yi, this...” The Eldest Prince looked nervously at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”His spirit is mostly scattered, recovery won’t be easy.”

”Then...” The Eldest Prince’s expression changed.

”Don’t worry,” Xiao Yi interrupted, ”His spirit still retains some, and I’ve stabilized it.”

”For now, his life is not threatened.”

”But for him to fully awaken...” Xiao Yi paused, ”It will be difficult.”

”No matter how difficult, I’m not afraid.” The Eldest Prince looked at Xiao Yi excitedly.

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”First, hold him up, and then follow me.”

”All of you, too.”

Xiao Yi scanned the Martial Artists present.

”Where to?” Lih Fengxing asked with confusion.

”To find a safe place,” Xiao Yi said sternly.

Lih Fengxing frowned, ”Didn’t Deacon Xiao Yi say we’d be safe for now?”

”It’s temporary safety.” Xiao Yi’s expression suddenly became serious, ”But afterwards, there will be an attack like a gale.”

”If my guess is correct, soon there will be far stronger Black-clothed Martial Artists chasing us.”

”What?” Everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered and left first.

Everyone exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

After ten minutes, everyone looked puzzled.

Because the direction Xiao Yi was heading had no pattern, walking here, stopping there, then suddenly changing direction.

Lih Fengxing’s figure flashed, catching up with Xiao Yi.

”Deacon Xiao Yi, where exactly are we going?” Lih Fengxing asked with confusion.

”I don’t know,” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”I’m looking for a safe place.”

Lih Fengxing frowned and asked, ”In this vast forest, it’s full of ruthless Black-clothed Martial Artists, where can be safe?”

”There will be, I’m looking,” Xiao Yi said, then looked at Lih Fengxing.

”What’s going on with you guys, why are you here?”

”Also, when I first entered this forest, I clearly sensed many unfamiliar Martial Artists battling those Black-clothed Martial Artists.”

The entire forest was erupting with battles everywhere.

Xiao Yi also sensed many unfamiliar Martial Artists battling Black-clothed Martial Artists.

But since he didn’t know them, he didn’t intervene.

Lih Fengxing nodded and said, ”Shortly after you left the Wind Saint Cliff, the Wind Saint Territory Heavenly Talents also spontaneously formed teams to head to the Central Region.”

”On the way, we passed many dangerous places, but we were lucky enough to avoid any major incidents.”

”But after arriving in this forest, we were inexplicably blocked by these mysterious Black-clothed Martial Artists.”

”These Black-clothed Martial Artists were too strong, so we were forced to scatter apart.”

”Of course, not long after scattering, we fell into a difficult battle, and at this time, Deacon Xiao Yi, you appeared.”

Xiao Yi nodded.

”As for those unfamiliar Martial Artists.” Lih Fengxing’s expression turned extremely unpleasant.

”Here, it’s not far from the real Central Region.”

”Centred on the route we took from the Wind Saint Territory to the Central Region, almost all routes of several dozen other territories pass through here.”

Xiao Yi realized, ”So those unfamiliar Martial Artists are Martial Artists from the surrounding territories of the Wind Saint Territory.”

”Yes,” Lih Fengxing said sternly, ”Adding up the Heavenly Talents from several dozen territories, there are no less than several thousand people.”

”All are currently trapped in this forest and are being hunted by these mysterious Black-clothed Martial Artists.”

”Deacon Xiao Yi.” Lih Fengxing looked seriously at Xiao Yi.

”We are experts from Asura Hall and Wind Shattering Hall, among the Heavenly Talents from other territories trapped in this forest, there are also quite a few of our comrades from Asura Hall and Wind Shattering Hall.”

”Therefore, we must...”

Lih Fengxing was about to say something.

Xiao Yi suddenly stopped walking.

”What’s wrong?” Lih Fengxing was surprised and asked.

”Right here,” Xiao Yi looked around and nodded.

”Here?” Lih Fengxing frowned.

All around was an open area, beside which was a large mountain.

”Retreat a hundred meters away, shield your aura well, and wait for me to prepare some things,” Xiao Yi said sternly.

”Alright,” Lih Fengxing nodded, although unsure what Xiao Yi was going to do, he led everyone to retreat a hundred meters away.

In place, Xiao Yi first set up a barrier isolating the outside world entirely.

Within the barrier, several surging flames erupted.

”Heavenly Flame Formation, rise,” Xiao Yi shouted lowly.

Hundred meters away, Lih Fengxing and the others’ expressions suddenly changed, ”Deacon Xiao Yi has disappeared.”

”The mountain has also changed.”

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s voice transmitted, ”It’s done.”

Everyone returned to the original location.

There, the previously open space had disappeared, replaced by the mountain covering this area.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

Everyone’s figures flashed and stepped into the ’mountain.’

As soon as they entered, the surroundings changed again, returning to the previous open space.

”Formation?” Lih Fengxing’s expression changed, looking at Xiao Yi in surprise, ”Deacon Xiao Yi is also an Array Master?”

”It looks like just a simple barrier, like an optical illusion. Can it truly be a safe place?” Qin Hongyi sneered.

”No.” The Eldest Prince exclaimed, ”Just now outside the barrier, not only did Xiao Yi’s figure disappear, but I couldn’t even sense a trace of aura.”

”I couldn’t sense anything either,” Lih Fengxing said in surprise, ”Such a powerful formation.”

Xiao Yi said blandly, ”Here, unless that young man just now, or an Infinite Realm expert comes personally, no one can find you, much less break through this barrier.”

Lih Fengxing’s eyes brightened, ”So this barrier can disregard all awareness and enemies below the Heavenly Extreme Realm Ninth Layer.”

”Correct,” Xiao Yi nodded.

”What if it’s above the Heavenly Extreme Ninth Layer? Or if that young man comes chasing personally, what do we do?” Qin Hongyi said coldly, ”Wait for death?”

”Above the Heavenly Extreme Ninth Layer? No chance to act.” Xiao Yi’s face instantly turned indifferent, a cold smile crossed his lips.
