Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1707: Chapter 1707: All the More Disappointed

In the distance...

The figure of the Hengtian Palace Master flying swiftly had already flown over a million miles away.

At the same time, Tong Ye and others had long since flown far away.

At this moment.

The group from Black Cloud Academy was flying rapidly, returning in the direction of Black Cloud Academy.

Suddenly, an Academic Disciple frowned and said, ”Tong Ye, were you serious about what you said earlier?”

”Really leaving the academy?”

”What do you think?” Tong Ye shrugged, his expression somewhat indifferent, and a bit helpless.

”Ever since that woman arrived at our academy, what has the academy become?”

”Have you forgotten the last time Qin Yi was injured by her? Even some elders were quite aggrieved by it.”

”The Black Cloud Academy now is in complete disarray. What’s the point of staying?”

The surrounding Academic Disciples shook their heads and sighed.

”Forget it.” Qin Yi shook his head and said, ”Senior Brother Mo Youu has recently come out of seclusion, and Mo Youh has already returned to Heavenly Hidden Academy, let’s not overthink it.”

Tong Ye nodded, ”That’s why we’re returning to the academy for now.”

”After all, the elders within the academy have treated us well, and we owe them for their teaching.”

”What about Xiao Yi?” a disciple suddenly asked with a worried expression.

”The strong ones from the Eight Palaces are all here. No matter how monstrous he is, he can’t fight four hands with two fists.”

”By the way, what’s the deal with that wanted order?” Qin Yi also frowned and said.

”I’ve never heard of Medicine Venerate Hall being robbed of a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”

”Also, I checked the documents on academy tasks before, and it stated that the batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was escorted by our Academic Disciples.”

”Why am I not aware of this?”

”It’s just an excuse.” Tong Ye sneered disdainfully.

”Hmm?” The surrounding Academic Disciples looked at Tong Ye with confusion.

Tong Ye pursed his lips and said, ”About half a month ago, I saw her entangled with the Vice Dean, saying something about a wanted order and revenge.”

”The Vice Dean was initially very unwilling, but somehow, the Vice Dean later agreed.”

”Hmph.” Tong Ye snorted coldly, ”Don’t let me guess correctly, that little girl Mo Youh, with her wicked heart, probably suffered outside and came back to use our academy as a tool.”

”I heard from Qing Lin that this little girl, relying on Senior Luoo’s token, has long been forcing the elders within the academy to avenge her numerous times.”

”That Elder Chen was initially just a friend they met outside, but somehow directly joined the academy as an elder. His skills aren’t great, but he’s taken a lot from the academy using his elder authority.”

”That’s why I said the academy is in complete disarray.”

”No, wait.” Qin Yi’s expression suddenly changed, ”Weren’t that group of ’wanted ones’ Xiao Yi’s friends?”

”It’s my first time seeing him so furious, killing and dismembering at the slightest disagreement.”

”Maybe I should go back and take a look.”

”Let’s go back together,” the surrounding Academic Disciples said in unison.

”Don’t.” Tong Ye frowned and said, ”If we go back now, there might be more misunderstandings.”

”Let Qin Yi go back alone, the Traceless Illusion Wind Qin Yi is originally from Wind Shattering Hall.”

”I suspect this guy Xiao Yi was just acting out in anger and isn’t truly taking it out on us.”

”Let’s catch up with him another time; for now, Qin Yi can go back on his own.”

Qin Yi nodded upon hearing this.

...

At the same time, on Xiao Yi’s side.

Xiao Yi was still staring at the Vice Dean.

But now, his icy expression had turned into one full of complexity.

Xiao Yi opened his mouth faintly, his tone equally filled with complexity.

”If they weren’t my friends, then... these wanted orders, if no one looked into them closely or took them seriously, no one would ever know about it.”

”No one would know, Vice Dean, that you abused your authority. No one would know that a heap of Main Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters abused the power of the Eight Palaces with you.”

”If they weren’t my friends, they’d have died wrongfully by now, and at the hands of duty-bound Eight Palace Martial Artists.”

Yes, for no reason, no one would specifically bother with a wanted order.

After all, within the Central Region, there are countless wanted people.

And many evil cultivators and heinous people as well.

”Xiao Yi, I...” The Vice Dean’s expression was complex, as he wanted to say something.

Xiao Yi shook his head.

He actually didn’t need to know the specifics, but he knew the Vice Dean’s character, though smooth, he had principles.

Someone who could reach the position of one of the ten Main Hall Masters of Medicine Venerate Hall could never be without principles.

And such a person would never want to go against his principles, not even against those he adhered to within Medicine Venerate Hall his whole life.

”Vice Dean, you’re indeed a good speaker, even almost swayed me.” Xiao Yi said, ”I know you well, and I can’t even blame you.”

The Vice Dean’s last few words were sincere, genuinely worried about him.

”Even when the Vice Dean publicly announced my expulsion from Black Cloud Academy back then, I never blamed you,” Xiao Yi said slowly.

”Because I know, Vice Dean, you’re an excellent senior.”

”But, precisely because of this, the one who kept deceiving me was you, Vice Dean... and that’s why I’m even more disappointed.”

Xiao Yi’s expression was the epitome of complexity and disappointment.

Hearing this, the Vice Dean trembled slightly.

Especially at the phrase, ’even more disappointed,’ he was dumbfounded.

”Alas.” After a while, the Vice Dean sighed powerlessly, appearing to have aged by over ten years.

The Vice Dean said no more.

Xiao Yi also remained silent, his expression gradually returning to its previous coldness as he looked over at every Main Hall Master around.

”Before I understand everything, no one is allowed to leave. If anyone dares to move, don’t blame me for being ruthless with my sword.”

After his icy words fell, Xiao Yi looked at Senior Swordswoman, ”Senior Swordswoman, let’s return to the ship first. I’ll tend to you and the others’ injuries.”

Whoosh... whoosh...

Xiao Yi, Ye Ming, Bai Bingxue, and Senior Swordswoman’s figures flashed back onto the Flying Sub-Saint Artifact.

”You...” High above, the expressions of the Main Hall Masters changed, then turned angry, looking at Chengfeng Hall Master.

”Chengfeng Hall Master, is this how unruly and unreasonable your Wind Shattering Hall’s heavenly talents are? Do you intend to forcibly keep us Main Hall Masters here?”

Chengfeng Hall Master shrugged, pretending not to hear, closing his eyes as if to nap.

”Chengfeng Hall Master, you...” Seeing this, the faces of the surrounding Main Hall Masters looked extremely unpleasant.

The strongest person present was Chengfeng Hall Master.

If Chengfeng Hall Master didn’t step in, none of them were a match for Xiao Yi.

Not long ago, they were still aggressively besieging the ’wanted ones.’

Even if it came to this, when Xiao Yi joined in, Jin Juexuan forcefully tried to continue the siege, only to be killed by one of Xiao Yi’s sword moves.

But now, unexpectedly, they couldn’t even retreat.

...

Third update.
