Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1597: Poison Robe

Xiao Yi checked the Evil Cultivation Elder’s body.

As expected, he found within the Universe Ring a large number of Martial Arts Ice Crystals already filled with Martial Arts Power.

It seems this group of evil cultivators is also one of the branches heading to the Fire Teeth Territory among hundreds of regions.

Originally, this group of evil cultivators should have arrived in the Fire Teeth Territory a day ago.

However, clearly, they encountered the group from the Heavenly Hidden Academy.

They planned to collect some more Martial Arts Power before heading to the Fire Teeth Branch, thus delaying their time.

Since they were just a group of stragglers, Xiao Yi didn’t think much more about it.

He was just about to leave.

From behind, a figure leaped out joyfully, exclaiming excitedly, "Yi Xiao."

Xiao Yi turned his head and saw a slightly familiar beautiful face, it was Huoo Linlang.

"Miss Linlang, it’s been a long time." Xiao Yi nodded and greeted her.

"Yes, it’s been a long time." Huoo Linlang walked up to Xiao Yi and smiled.

Huoo Linlang had long recognized Xiao Yi.

Even though there were many martial artists wearing masks in the Central Region.

But Purple Flame Yi Xiao, she recognized.

However, at that time she was suppressed by the Black Nightmare Formation and could not speak.

Now, all the evil cultivators were dead, the formation broke on its own, she naturally regained her freedom, and hurriedly came forward to stop Xiao Yi.

"Thank you," Huoo Linlang said with a smile.

"Thank me for what?" Xiao Yi shrugged.

"Of course, for saving me once again," Huoo Linlang smiled.

"Last time you saved me from the Mist Dangerous Land, and this time, you saved me again."

Huoo Linlang never expected to meet Xiao Yi here.

But no matter what, this was evidently a cause for her excitement and joy.

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "Last time was to complete a mission."

"This time, killing evil cultivators is just my duty."

"By the way, why are you here?" Xiao Yi asked.

"I heard that the Chiefs and top Heavenly Talents of the Five Great Academies are all in seclusion."

"How did you know I was in seclusion before? Did you investigate me?" Huoo Linlang asked in return.

Although she was asking, there wasn’t a hint of displeasure on her face, instead, she smiled charmingly.

"Uh." Xiao Yi was momentarily speechless.

Beside him, Guu Feifan suddenly spoke coldly, "Yi Xiao, how did you know about the seclusion of our Five Great Academy Chiefs?"

"The matter of the Five Great Academy Chiefs has never been publicly disclosed, even within the academies only elders and above know, how could you know?"

"What are your intentions?"

"Feifan." Beside him, an Academy Elder frowned and reprimanded.

"Even the Eight Palace Martial Artists find it difficult to uncover the Evil Cultivation Branch, yet Yi Xiao, our young friend, managed to uncover it easily."

"Moreover, he has wiped out several branches, which speaks volumes about young friend Yi Xiao’s strong intelligence capabilities."

"That he knows various secrets and information is quite normal."

"Hmph." Guu Feifan snorted coldly.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

He was speechless earlier, at a loss for how to respond to Huoo Linlang.

Because the matter of the Five Great Academy Chiefs in seclusion was indeed a secret.

It was only Elder Yun Yuan and another, through the Deputy Dean of Black Cloud Academy’s words, who knew about it, and they then informed him.

He was contemplating how to lie to cover up earlier.

It was this Academy Elder who found him a reason, saving him the trouble.

"Do you want to know?" At this moment, Huoo Linlang said.

However, she wasn’t looking at Xiao Yi.

She was standing with hands behind her back, her face turned to one side, smiling, her toes occasionally lifting, showing a little girl-like demeanor.

"Uh, yes." Xiao Yi nodded.

Huoo Linlang smiled and replied, "We were in seclusion a few days ago, for quite a long time."

"Later, we exited seclusion early, so we came out to train, the other academies’ chiefs and disciples are still in seclusion."

"In this Eastern Range of the Central Region, the martial artists’ forces are relatively many and strong; we have been training all the way until here."

"Originally, after being in seclusion for so long, and still having to come out for rigorous training, I was unwilling."

As Huoo Linlang spoke, her face showed a bit of discontent, but after glancing at Xiao Yi, she smiled joyfully again.

"Now it seems, it’s fortunate I also came out to train."

Beside her, Guu Feifan watched Huoo Linlang’s little girl-like demeanor, his expression growing colder.

"Linlang, why are you saying so much to an outsider?"

"There are some things not even Academy Disciples should reveal too much of."

"If Yi Xiao harbors ill intentions, the consequences could be..."

"Guu Feifan, that’s enough." Huoo Linlang turned her head and shouted angrily.

Her face previously had a smile, now full of anger, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Guu Feifan’s words.

"Yi Xiao at least saved us, don’t you think it’s excessive to slander him like this?"

"Rescue?" Guu Feifan sneered, "What do you mean by rescue? As he said, it’s just his duty."

"Linlang, you’re inexperienced in the ways of the world and unaware of its dangers."

"Do you think Yi Xiao repeatedly risked his life to kill evil cultivators without reason? He’s rewarded for killing them; the Demon Hunting Hall and Flame Hall offer him many rewards."

"Do you think someone so young became a Sub Hall Master by mere chance?"

"Hmph, a person with such a strong desire for profit, do you think his mind would be simple?"

"Moreover, is constantly prying into the affairs of others’ daughters something a man should do?"

"You..." Anger on Huoo Linlang’s face instantly turned cold, threatening to erupt.

"Forget it, Miss Linlang," Xiao Yi said abruptly.

Xiao Yi wasn’t interested in arguing.

In his impression, Guu Feifan wasn’t a bad person.

Even during the chaos of the second round in the Hundred Schools’ competition, Guu Feifan was gentlemanly and didn’t play dirty.

But when it came to matters involving Huoo Linlang, he would get angry and even show hostility.

Speaking candidly, it was all about men and women.

"Yi Xiao, do you dare to fight me?" Guu Feifan glared at Xiao Yi furiously.

Xiao Yi sensed a bit, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he still shook his head, "Martial Arts Great Power, indeed impressive, but you’re not my match yet."

Indeed, Guu Feifan was already at Martial Arts Great Power level.

At such a young age, possessing Martial Arts Great Power level was truly remarkable.

To know, besides disregarding strength, Xiao Yi was only Seventh Layer Cultivation.

But Guu Feifan could already control over 9500 Dao Martial Arts.

With such cultivation, aside from a few people, he could almost look down on all the young heavenly talents and monsters.

Looking back earlier within the Black Nightmare Formation, among those from Heavenly Hidden Academy, only two could barely resist the formation’s black mist.

One was the Academy elder; the other was Guu Feifan.

Guu Feifan was the chief heavenly talent of Heavenly Hidden Academy.

Under the cultivation of Martial Arts Great Power, he could likely be unbeaten under a supreme expert.

Even seasoned Martial Arts Great Power may not be his match.

The foundation of the Five Great Academy was indeed astonishing.

After a retreat, their disciple could break through to Martial Arts Great Power level.

With half a year left until the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb; who knows how much these chiefs will grow by then.

Xiao Yi felt an ever-growing urge to speed up his cultivation.

"Miss Linlang, I’ll take my leave," Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, clasping his hands.

"Ah? Leaving so soon?" Huoo Linlang frowned.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "I still need to kill evil cultivators."

He was merely curious and wanted to inquire about the Heavenly Hidden Academy group, but it wasn’t a big matter.

Having asked, he naturally had to leave.

Bang... Xiao Yi condensed Purple Flame Fire Wings, just about to spread his wings and fly away.

Suddenly, a cold voice whispered through the mist.

"Leaving now, don’t you feel it’s too late?"

"Who?" Xiao Yi was taken aback, as his strength hadn’t let him immediately locate the source of the voice.

Seconds later, Xiao Yi’s eyes steadied.

In front, a few steps away, a black robe figure strangely appeared.

"It’s you?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

It was the very Martial Arts Illusion he had encountered twice before.

But this time, it was a real figure, not a Martial Arts Illusion.

"Such a strong aura." Xiao Yi’s heart tightened.

Almost instantly, he knew this black robe figure in front had terrifying strength.

"If you hadn’t meddled, I wouldn’t have caught up with you so quickly." The black robe figure’s voice was extremely cold.

Under the cold voice, a chilling aura followed.

This chill wasn’t merely cold; it was a chill that made one’s heart palpitate.

Almost immediately, everyone realized this evil cultivator in front had absolutely terrifying power.

All the heavenly talents looked scared.

"You all should leave first." Xiao Yi glanced at Guu Feifan and Huoo Linlang.

"No..." Huoo Linlang wanted to say something.

Beside, the Academy elder interrupted, "You disciples leave first."

"I’ll stay with you." The Academy elder looked seriously at Xiao Yi.

"You know him?" Xiao Yi frowned; he clearly saw the Academy elder’s face was exceptionally grave when looking at the black robe figure.

"Of course," the Academy elder nodded, "Speaking of evil cultivation, aside from the Evil Lord Mansion itself, he’s unmatched in notoriety."

"No one knows his real name, only he’s called... Poison Robe."

"The only madman who dares to assassinate legendary figures, and the only one who can escape safely after failing against them.".

...

Part six. (Explosive)
