Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1653: Chapter 1653: Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall

”It’s him?”

Xiao Yi’s brow slightly furrowed, and his tone carried a trace of surprise.

Dongfang Tieyun was taken aback, ”What, Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, do you know that legend?”

In fact, Xiao Yi no longer regarded the Poison Robe as a threat.

However, he was still amazed by Poison Robe’s ability to escape.

After all, to deceive him, a high-ranking Alchemist, and successfully feign death, was no ordinary feat.

And Xiao Yi recalled that whether it was Dongfang Tieyun or the arrogant Long Xiao, whenever they spoke of Poison Robe escaping from that legendary expert, they all showed solemn and apprehensive expressions.

So out of curiosity, Xiao Yi had asked a question.

He just didn’t expect that it would be him.

At this moment, Dongfang Tieyun looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled but said nothing.

”Alright, if there’s nothing else, we three shall take our leave.” Jiu Yan cupped his hands and said.

”Very well.” Dongfang Tieyun cupped his hands, ”Whenever you are free, you three are welcome at the Main Hall of the Six Dragon Territory.”

Long Xiao also cupped his hands, but only toward Jiu Yan, ”Lord Jiu Yan, take care, no need to see us off.”

In fact, the two were there to see him off.

However, in Long Xiao’s view, only Jiu Yan was worthy of his farewell.

His expression remained cold as he looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi also paid no attention.

He certainly understood what Long Xiao meant.

After all, he had seized three Dragon-shaped Evil Qi from the Six Dragon Territory, so it’s no wonder Long Xiao would have a sour expression.

However, after absorbing the Poison Evil and Blood Evil, Xiao Yi felt not even a hint of guilt.

Previously, if it weren’t for Long Xiao, he wouldn’t have suffered the backlash of the Dragon Flame, been tormented for a month at the lake’s bottom, almost losing his life.

The pain and suffering were one thing; Xiao Yi didn’t particularly care.

But he did exhaust nine-tenths of the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his Universe Ring.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could catch Xiao Yi’s eye were hardly ordinary.

And most importantly, nursing his wounds at the lake bottom for a month wasted a month of his time.

Adding Long Xiao’s constant interference and difficulties, he was forced to spend nearly another month in the Six Dragon Territory to hunt down the Evil Cultivators and lure Poison Robe out.

Altogether, just being in the Six Dragon Territory cost him two months.

Originally, after leaving the Sword Emperor Stele, there were just a little over six months left until the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb would open, less than seven months of time.

The time was already tight; he needed to rapidly improve his strength to slay the Evil Cultivators, treating it as training to enhance his Cultivation and abilities.

According to his previous sweeping speed, he had crossed numerous territories and eradicated countless branches of the Evil Cultivation in a short time.

But in the Six Dragon Territory, due to the Evil Cultivation, he wasted two full months.

Thus, the time left for improving his strength was less than two months.

Not cultivating the Evil Dao, Thunder Dao, or Wood Dao prevented him from dealing with the other three Dragon-shaped Evil Qi.

Otherwise, he would sincerely consider snatching the other three strands of Dragon-shaped Evil Qi.

As for that Wind Evil, it was taken by the Fog Demon.

Xiao Yi also didn’t mind.

Though the Fog Demon appeared sinister, it was much better than those with pretty faces but twisted hearts.

Besides, the Fog Demon was a companion by his side.

If the Fog Demon wanted that Wind Evil, then it could have it.

If Long Xiao wanted to reclaim it, Xiao Yi wouldn’t mind another fight in the Six Dragon Territory.

Previously, Long Xiao always said there were rules in the Six Dragon Territory.

He also said the rules were set by his Long Family, which stood above them.

In essence, strength was the rule.

In that case, Xiao Yi would also show him that his Long Family’s strength no longer subdued him.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Jiu Yan, Tang Yin, and the three bid farewell to Dongfang Tieyun, flying away through the air.

In moments, the three had disappeared into the distance.

...

”Such speed.” Xiao Yi frowned as he glanced at Jiu Yan.

At this moment, his Purple Flame Fire Wings fluttered rapidly, in full speed, yet still much slower than Jiu Yan.

This was the speed of a legendary expert, astonishingly fast.

”Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, shall I take you on a ride?” said Jiu Yan as he approached Xiao Yi.

Jiu Yan grabbed Xiao Yi with one hand and Tang Yin with the other.

Whoosh... the terrifying speed seemed to cross space.

Jiu Yan turned into a streak of flame, traversing the sky.

Xiao Yi was inwardly shocked but also pondering.

Looking at Jiu Yan, he couldn’t help but think of Chengfeng and Hengtian Hall Masters.

Although they weren’t Martial Artists from the same hall, they were both Main Hall Masters in the Main Hall of the Ancient Eight Halls.

Thus, the three were somewhat comparable.

Xiao Yi recalled that when he first met Chengfeng and Hengtian Hall Masters, he felt they were much stronger than Martial Arts Great Powers.

Perhaps, the two were in the Supreme Realm.

Yet later, as Xiao Yi’s perception grew stronger, he vaguely felt that their strength was beyond that.

Especially after traversing the ’Path of Slaughter’ under Extreme Sword Cultivation, this feeling became more pronounced.

However, he hadn’t encountered those two for a long time, so Xiao Yi couldn’t make a definitive judgment.

Today, upon meeting Lord Jiu Yan, Xiao Yi suddenly, faintly determined the cultivation levels of the two Hall Masters based on Lord Jiu Yan’s aura.

Yes, vaguely.

In his feeling, the aura and impression given by Hengtian and Chengfeng Hall Masters far surpassed what Lord Jiu Yan conveyed to him now.

As for how much stronger specifically, Xiao Yi couldn’t say for certain.

So, it was merely a vague judgment.

But Xiao Yi could ascertain that the two Hall Masters were undoubtedly much more intense and powerful than the impression Lord Jiu Yan gave him.

”Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao.”

At this moment, Jiu Yan’s voice interrupted Xiao Yi’s thoughts.

”Hmm, what’s up?” Xiao Yi asked.

”Haha, nothing much, just wanted to chat.” Jiu Yan smiled.

”Previously, Tang Yin and I went after Poison Robe, thinking you’d disappear again without a trace.”

”Good thing you stayed, otherwise the two of us couldn’t have explained to the Master of the Main Hall.”

Xiao Yi glanced at the two, ”What, is the Demon Hunting Hall planning to issue a warrant for me?”

”Of course not.” Jiu Yan laughed.

Xiao Yi snorted, ”Then there’s no reason for Yi to run without cause, right?”

”Just in case.” Jiu Yan and Tang Yin chuckled.

”After all, Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, you have past experiences.”

Xiao Yi was secretly helpless.

What the two were referring to was naturally about a year ago when the Demon Hunting Hall sent an ’assessment’ invitation.

However, at that time he went to participate in the assessment path at the Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall Main Hall using his normal identity.

Moreover, he didn’t even know the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall had sent him an assessment.

It wasn’t until a few months ago, when he was in Hengyuan Territory, hearing from the Domain Master of Hengyuan Territory, that he learned of this matter.

...

Time gradually passed.

A little over a day and a half later, the three arrived at the Demon Hunting Territory.

”Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, we’ve arrived at the Demon Hunting Territory.” Jiu Yan pointed ahead.

”Not far ahead is the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall.”

”Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall.” Xiao Yi looked into the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Xiao Yi had much deeper feelings for the Demon Hunting Hall compared to other halls.

After all, it was the first hall he joined back then.

And back then, he first emerged as a Demon Hunter.

Finally, he would get to see the oldest Demon Hunting Hall on the continent.

...

Third update.

Today’s updates, finished.
