Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1537: The Disappearance of Xiao Yi

"This..."

Xiao Yi hesitated upon hearing this.

In fact, he knew that the Masters of the Main Hall from both palaces treated him well.

Moreover, the foundations of the two halls were not at all weaker than those of the Five Great Academies, possibly even stronger.

After all, the Ancient Eight Halls had countless years of inheritance.

However, the Five Great Academies, even the top-ranked Heavenly Hidden Academy among them, had been around for only about a million years.

Therefore, when it comes to foundations, the two halls are naturally stronger.

However, he had no special status within the two halls.

He assumed that the two halls wouldn’t go all out to help him, at most just provide some assistance.

At this moment, looking at the two Elder Yun Yuan, Xiao Yi asked seriously, "You two Seniors have seen much of the world, and I have a matter I would like to ask."

"What is it?" the two asked.

Xiao Yi inquired, "You two Seniors probably know a lot of secrets about the Central Region."

"Is there any power on this continent stronger than the Ancient Eight Halls?"

In fact, Xiao Yi wanted to ask about the Holy Moon Sect.

"This..." the two frowned.

"It’s hard to say," the two replied.

"The Central Region is too large, nobody dares to claim they have traversed it all, at most only a large part of it."

"And there are too many existing powers, nobody dares to say they know them all."

"Some powers are extremely low-key, having been so since the Ancient Times till now."

"So, it’s hard to say."

Elder Yun Yuan continued, "Take supreme experts, besides the obvious Eighteen Mansions Masters and powerhouses within the Sword Domain, for example."

"There are many who live reclusively, like Senior Xinghuan from back in the day, who was always a solo wanderer."

"If it weren’t for him causing a ruckus back then to find the most mysterious Star Illusion Fire, few would have known about him."

"There are many supreme experts hidden from the world, unknown to others."

"Not to mention some legendary figures who have surpassed supreme experts."

"Take Old Monster Lin Ye, for example; you wouldn’t know he’s the Sword Saint of the Sword Domain upon meeting him."

Hui Deacon chimed in, "Naturally, your question is difficult to answer."

"Perhaps there are, perhaps there aren’t."

"But I tend to believe there are, as the waters of the Central Region run too deep."

"But this doesn’t mean you’re unsafe hiding within the Main Hall."

Evidently, the two mistakenly thought Xiao Yi asked this question to know if it was safe enough within the Main Hall.

"Oh?" Xiao Yi did not explain further, just continued in doubt.

The two affirmed, "There may be forces stronger than the Ancient Eight Halls in this world."

"But no one in this world would dare challenge the Eight Halls or defy their rules."

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked further.

The two replied, "Because the Ancient Eight Halls represent this continent."

"Anyone who dares challenge the Ancient Eight Halls would face the wrath of the entire continent."

Xiao Yi was shocked upon hearing this.

"Take us, for example," Elder Yun Yuan said, "We’re not Eight Palace Martial Artists, but if the Eight Halls were to issue an urgent summons, we would go without hesitation."

"This includes all the martial artists of the Central Region."

"The Ancient Eight Halls once were the Guardians of this continent."

"Even though the demon beast threat on the continent has subsided, they remain the eight pillars on this continent, unshakable by anyone."

"If there are any, the Mainland Martial Artists will defend them to the death."

Xiao Yi suddenly understood after hearing this.

In the Central Region and throughout the Flame Dragon Continent, strength is the only principle that matters.

However, that applies to individuals or forces. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

When it comes to the whole continent or the entire human race, it’s different.

The Ancient Eight Halls, in the end, concern the whole continent.

"In any case, if you return to the Main Hall, you will surely be safe, and no one will dare trouble you," the two said.

"Wait until the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is about to open, you can set out then."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Alright, I will depart soon."

"We will also set off back to the Academy immediately," the two said.

"Okay," Xiao Yi nodded.

The two turned and left.

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and bowed slightly.

After the two left.

Xiao Yi glanced around, his brow suddenly furrowing, a mysterious smile playing at the corner of his lips.

Whoosh...

His figure suddenly flickered and vanished into thin air.

A million miles away, within a vast forest, Xiao Yi set up barriers and Formations.

At this moment, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Ghost Mask appeared out of nowhere.

The Young Master’s clothes had also been removed, replaced with a set of black tight-fitting attire.

Boom...

A blaze erupted from his body, and the Purple Flame Wings condensed and emerged.

With a flap, he instantly transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

With his personality, how could he possibly hide away like a coward out of fear of enemies?

However, having too many enemies is indeed a hassle.

He simply put on the mask and continued his training as Yi Xiao.

...

Sword Emperor Tablet Spirit, somewhere.

Whoosh... whoosh...

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

One of them looked furious, while the other was calm like the breeze.

"Damn it, Chengfeng, you shouldn’t have stopped me," Hengtian Palace Master said in frustration.

Indeed, the two figures were the Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master, who had come to the Sword Domain by the command of the Main Hall Master.

"Old Luoo, truly too much bullying," the Hengtian Palace Master was furious, his hair and beard standing on end.

Chengfeng Hall Master rolled his eyes, "Stop you? And then what, can you beat Old Man Luoo?"

"The Main Hall Master sent us to protect that kid’s safety, at least with us here, no one in the Sword Domain can harm him."

"Who’d have thought Old Man Luoo would be so shameless, even as a legendary figure, he’d snatch things from a junior."

"Yet you shouldn’t have stopped me," the Hengtian Palace Master’s fists clenched with a cracking sound, "Even if I can’t win, it’s good to spar with Old Luoo."

"Duan Hengtian," Chengfeng Hall Master said coldly, "Have you forgotten why we’re here?"

"Do you think with the skills and abilities of Old Luoo, he truly hasn’t noticed us hiding in the shadows?"

"If we kept out of it, fine, but if we interfered, and angered that old coot, do you think that kid would still be alive?"

"Our purpose for coming here is to ensure the kid’s safety."

"The Sword Emperor Origin is lost, but as long as the person is fine, it’s alright."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it," Hengtian Palace Master roared in anger.

Chengfeng Hall Master shrugged, "Kicking up a fuss won’t help, Old Man Luoo is on the same level as the other Masters of the Main Hall, a legendary figure."

"You going crazy can’t touch a hair on him."

"Wait a minute," Chengfeng Hall Master said suddenly, furrowing his brows.

"Where’s the kid?"

Hengtian Palace Master shrugged, "We’ve been watching him all this time, where can he run to, isn’t he just..."

Before the Hengtian Palace Master could finish, his expression changed, "Where’s the kid?"

"Oh no," Chengfeng Hall Master’s expression changed drastically, "Once that kid is gone, he’s hard to find."

"What are you afraid of?" Hengtian Palace Master steadied his expression, "With the intelligence capabilities of your Wind Shattering Hall, finding him is a piece of cake..."

"What do you know," Chengfeng Hall Master’s calm demeanor vanished, replaced by panic.

"That kid is extremely skilled at hiding his tracks, once he’s gone, even the Main Hall can’t find him."

"Last time we tried to find him, the Main Hall almost turned the entire Central Region upside down."

The two figures flashed away, hastily tracking him down.

However, two hours later, there was still no trace of Xiao Yi.

"Damn it, let’s return to the Main Hall and report back," Chengfeng Hall Master urged.

The two figures flickered and immediately flew away.

...

A day later.

At the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, Xiao Yi’s figure appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, under the guise of Yi Xiao.

A day ago, he felt as though two pairs of eyes were watching him from behind.

Although he didn’t know who they were, his instincts were precise, so he purposefully changed his identity and went far away.

He only returned after a day.

At the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, it was still littered with corpses.

The thousands of sword cultivator corpses had already turned cold.

But among these thousands were blue and purple Martial Souls, and even some black Martial Souls—Xiao Yi wouldn’t let them go to waste.

...

The third change.
