Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1615: Chapter 1615: Such Are the Rules

Boom...

Long Xiao’s palm wind seemed casually released.

In reality, the explosion sound rippled layer upon layer in the air.

When it struck Xiao Yi, he was blasted away a thousand meters, creating a rushing air current along the way.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that Long Xiao’s strike was anything but ordinary.

Whoosh...

At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the sky.

The figure instantly appeared behind Xiao Yi and steadily caught him.

With a slight movement of the palm, the terrifying impact force that sent Xiao Yi flying was dispersed in an instant.

”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, are you injured?” The elder caught Xiao Yi and asked.

”Pffft.” Xiao Yi steadied himself and spat out another mouthful of bloody saliva.

He was already carrying a severe injury; how could he withstand such a palm?

The elder’s hand gently placed on Xiao Yi’s wrist pulse, and his expression suddenly changed.

”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, are you already severely injured?”

”It’s nothing serious. Who are you?” Xiao Yi shook his arm, shaking off the elder’s hand.

The elder withdrew his hand without taking offense, knowing that martial artists are always exceedingly cautious and will not let others easily probe their physical condition.

The elder bowed slightly and said in a deep voice, ”I am the Main Hall Master of the Six Dragon Territory of the Demon Hunting Hall.”

”Greetings, Hall Master.” Xiao Yi was about to slightly bow as a courtesy.

The elder waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Long Xiao, a thousand meters away, his eyes instantly turning cold.

”Long Domain Master, don’t you think this is too much?”

Long Xiao glanced at the elder, ”Your Demon Hunting Hall’s people rely on their own strength to kill in my Six Dragon Territory. Who is excessive?”

The elder said in a deep voice, ”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master killed an evil cultivator.”

”Evil cultivator?” Long Xiao sneered, ”A mere excuse to kill in my Six Dragon Territory, to slaughter families?”

”Dongfang Tieyun, are you not underestimating my Long Family too much?”

The elder’s face instantly turned sour, ”For months, Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master has been pursuing evil cultivators. Did he kill half a family in error? Half a martial artist in error?”

Long Xiao shook his head, ”Rules are rules.”

”I will say it one last time. The Six Dragon Territory has its own rules.”

”Dongfang Tieyun, just take care of your Demon Hunting Hall’s people.”

Long Xiao’s tone was exceptionally firm.

The elder squinted his eyes and then looked at Xiao Yi.

”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, come with me back to the hall for treatment first.”

Xiao Yi’s eyes were cold, but he could only nod.

The two of them flashed away.

A thousand meters away, Long Xiao snorted coldly, flung his sleeve, and left with the City Lord’s Mansion elders and the Six Dragon Guards.

...

Six Dragon City.

Six Dragon City is the central major city of the Six Dragon Territory, as well as the largest city.

At the same time, the Six Dragon Territory, as one of the renowned territories in the Central Region, is also home to one of the Ten Main Halls of the Ancient Eight Halls.

Indeed, the Six Dragon Territory is a gigantic region, comparable in fame to the Sword Domain and Heavenly Hidden Territory.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall located in Six Dragon City is also one of the Ten Main Halls.

At this moment, within the Main Hall.

The elder, also known as Dongfang Tieyun, and Xiao Yi appeared simultaneously.

”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, would you like to go to the seclusion room first to recover from your injuries?” Dongfang Tieyun asked.

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”No need.”

”I came to the Main Hall to ask some questions.”

Dongfang Tieyun nodded and then frowned, ”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, about your injuries...”

”It’s nothing serious.” Xiao Yi waved his hand, ”Though the injuries are severe, I have suppressed them. It’s not a big problem.”

”That’s good.” Dongfang Tieyun nodded, ”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, please this way.”

The two arrived at the study in the rear hall.

Inside the study, the two sat down.

Dongfang Tieyun instructed someone to brew two cups of hot tea.

Xiao Yi picked it up, took a sip, and his eyes instantly brightened.

As the tea went down to his stomach, his face, which was somewhat pale under the mask, turned rosy at once.

The slight heat of the tea seemed to circulate throughout his body instantly.

Xiao Yi first felt a burst of warmth, then his whole body felt clear and refreshed.

”Dongfang Hall Master must be an alchemist.” Xiao Yi put down the hot tea and asked.

”Yes.” Dongfang Tieyun nodded, smiling, ”This tea is my own creation.”

”It is effective for clearing meridians and strengthening one’s foundation; its healing effects are no less than an emperor-grade peak elixir.”

Xiao Yi nodded, ”Thank you, Dongfang Hall Master.”

Just from this, he dared to conclude that Dongfang Tieyun’s alchemy skills were indeed exceptional, even rivalling his own.

However, in his perception, Dongfang Tieyun’s cultivation and strength were mediocre at best.

Of course, this so-called mediocre was only in comparison to himself and the super-strong individuals he had encountered recently, like Lin Xiao, Poison Robe, and Long Xiao.

Dongfang Tieyun’s power reached Supreme 9995 Dao.

Such strength was already at the top-tier level in the Central Region; across the continent, excluding legendary figures, only a scant few super-strong individuals could surpass him.

And with superior alchemical skills, he was clearly quite remarkable.

At least, he was worthy of his position as a hall master of one of the Ten Main Halls of the Demon Hunting Hall.

”Dongfang Hall Master.” Xiao Yi then asked in a deep voice, ”I wonder if the Demon Hunting Hall here could issue me a decree.”

Dongfang Tieyun asked, ”Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master wishes for an order to hunt and kill evil cultivators in the Six Dragon Territory, correct?”

”Correct.” Xiao Yi nodded, ”With an order, I would have much more convenience in pursuing and eradicating evil cultivators.”

Evil cultivators are public enemies on the continent.

And this Demon Hunting Hall is one of the Ten Main Halls.

If they issued a decree directly here, then even Long Xiao and the Six Dragon Guards would not dare to interfere anymore.

Dongfang Tieyun obviously understood what Xiao Yi was thinking, and he smiled.

However, this smile was rather bitter.

”It’s useless.” Dongfang Tieyun shook his head, ”Even if we directly issued a decree, even if our Main Hall’s Law Enforcement Team personally intervened, Long Xiao would not give us any face.”

”Our Law Enforcement Team has tried several times to encircle small evil cultivation Chapters in the Six Dragon Territory.”

”But often, even before taking action, they were stopped by the Six Dragon Guards.”

Xiao Yi squinted, ”Long Xiao intends to protect these evil cultivators? He’s got some nerve.”

Xiao Yi’s tone was already laced with killing intent.

Dongfang Tieyun waved his hand, ”It has nothing to do with him. Openly protecting evil cultivators is not something Long Xiao dares or would do.”

”It’s just the rules, that’s all.”

”Rules?” Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

”Yes.” Dongfang Tieyun smiled and said, ”Though the Central Region is fraught with unexpected killings and lacks regulations, laws, or decrees, there are rules wherever there are powers, wherever there are martial artists.”

”Such as in major cities.”

”Martial artists must pay an entrance fee to enter a major city; from the point of entry, they are under the protection of the City Lord’s Mansion, and no one is allowed to cause trouble, provoke disputes, or engage in major battles and killings.”

”These rules, Yi Xiao Branch Hall Master, should be quite clear to you.” Dongfang Tieyun said.

”Indeed, I am clear.” Xiao Yi nodded, his brows furrowing once more.
