Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1004 - 1002: Return of the Holy Master [Third Update]

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1002: Return of the Holy Master [Third Update]

Xiao Yi went straight back to the Qiu residence.

Qiu Yiyun was drinking with Ning Delun in his separate courtyard.

Before this.

Qiu Yiyun naturally wouldn’t have interacted with a small figure like Ning Delun, but because of Xiao Yi, the two naturally found some common ground.

As they talked, they felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner.

Therefore...

They began to drink and swap cups in the small courtyard.

"You sure are enjoying your drinks here!" Xiao Yi’s leisurely voice suddenly rang out, startling both men.

Qiu Yiyun stood up and said, "Lord Xiao!"

Ning Delun got such a fright that he knocked over the cup in front of him and, after a moment of flustered tidying, stood up to see Xiao Yi’s grim face, and couldn’t help but ask in confusion, "How come you’re back so soon? Didn’t you have a good time with the Saint Heir?"

Xiao Yi casually pulled over a stool, gesturing for them to sit down as well.

Ning Delun hurriedly poured a cup for Xiao Yi.

Qiu Yiyun showed a bitter smile: "I knew it... With Li Jianyang’s temperament, trouble was bound to occur. Lord Xiao, you didn’t, by any chance, kill him, did you?"

He now felt a huge headache coming on.

If Xiao Yi really killed Li Jianyang, although Xiao Yi’s status meant nothing would happen to him, Qiu Yiyun would still inevitably be troubled. After all, apart from Li Jianyang’s talent and strength,

he had the support of many powerful figures from the Nantian Holy Land.

Xiao Yi waved his hand to calm Qiu Yiyun, saying indifferently, "Don’t worry, I left him with a breath of life!"

Qiu Yiyun’s mouth twitched: "..."

Left him with a breath of life?

Isn’t that basically leaving him half-dead?

That’s the Saint Heir we’re talking about!

You’ve beaten him half to death, and yet you’re this calm.

Ning Delun asked doubtfully, "Lord Xiao, could it be the Saint Heir Li Jianyang is unaware of your identity?"

He got to know quite a few secrets about Xiao Yi from Qiu Yiyun, especially that Xiao Yi’s visit to the Nantian Holy Land was at the invitation of Master Nantian himself. This was a guest of the Master; how could a mere Saint Heir dare to trouble him?

Qiu Yiyun glared fiercely at him, saying, "Li Jianyang is indeed arrogant and domineering, but had he known that Lord Xiao is a guest of the Master, he wouldn’t dare trouble Lord Xiao even with a hundred times the courage."

"Oh!"

Ning Delun nodded, seemingly getting the idea but not quite understanding.

Qiu Yiyun hesitated for a moment. He knew Li Jianyang well enough to recognize him as a ruthless person who would exact vengeance for the slightest grievance and would definitely not let this go. He then said solemnly, "Lord Xiao, Li Jianyang’s grandfather was the master of the current lord of the Yellow Region, and since his grandfather’s fall, the Yellow Region’s lord has been taking care of Li Jianyang. This matter will likely reach his ears soon, and it may not end so easily!"

"No matter!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively, not the least bit concerned about the lord of the Yellow Region, "If he does not seek trouble with me, then let’s leave the matter at that. If he truly seeks to trouble me, I will meet soldiers with arms and stem water with earth—it is what it is!"

Qiu Yiyun voiced a hesitant sound but recalling that Xiao Yi was a distinguished guest of the Master, he did not say more.

After drinking for a while, everyone went to rest.

Meanwhile.

In the residence of the lord of the Yellow Region, even though it was late at night, the lights were still brightly lit.

At that moment.

Li Jianyang, his body wrapped in thick ointment like a mummy, was placed on a stretcher, lying silently in the middle of the hall. At the highest seat, Qi Bing, the lord of the Yellow Region, looked down emotionlessly at him, the temperature in the hall so cold it seemed frost might form.

Drip-drip-drip!

Qi Bing’s fingers gently tapped against the armrest, his eyes hiding a glint of frost: "What a Xiao Yi, such audacity! A mere prince consort of the Great Qian Dynasty, and he dares to strut around the Nantian Holy Land? Does he really think we have no one here?"

"Reporting to the Domain Lord, that Xiao Yi is the person brought by Zou," a strong warrior of the Earth Venerate Realm said in a deep voice.

This person is named Zhuge Yao, holding a status in the region similar to that of Qiu Yiyun in the Yellow Region.

Having been by Qi Bing’s side for many years, he has earned Qi Bing’s great esteem.

Qi Bing narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What? Should I be afraid of Zou Shaolong?"

The Nantian Sacred Land comprises nine domains, except for the Central Holy Region.

Heaven and Earth take precedence.

The cosmos comes next.

The Vast Yellow Expanse ranks amongst the last.

As the Domain Lord second only to the Heavenly Domain, Qi Bing indeed has the credentials to not take Zou Shaolong seriously.

Zhuge Yao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The Domain Lord naturally doesn’t need to worry about Zou Shaolong, however... I have heard that the Master’s avatar is scheduled to return tomorrow. If a conflict arises between the Domain Lords at this time, I’m afraid it would displease the Master!"

"Mr. Zhuge, are you saying that I should just let myself be beaten for nothing?"

Li Jianyang was inwardly furious and looked at Zhuge Yao with eyes filled with deep resentment. Qi Bing had just agreed to avenge him, but it was Zhuge Yao who had stopped it, how could he not hate that?

Zhuge Yao glanced at Li Jianyang and sighed inwardly. If it weren’t for the fact that Li Jianyang’s grandfather was Qi Bing’s revered mentor, owing him a debt of great reconstruction and recognition, he would truly want to persuade Qi Bing to stay out of this mess.

After all. free𝑤ebnovel.com

For years...

Li Jianyang had done many detestable deeds under Qi Bing’s protection.

After hesitating for a moment.

Zhuge Yao said in a deep voice, "My Lord, my suggestion is to inform the Sacred Master about this matter and let the Sacred Master make the sole judgment!"

"The Sacred Master?"

Qi Bing was momentarily stunned and then fell into thought with narrowed eyes.

In the Nantian Sacred Land, there is only one Sacred Master. Always, the Sacred Master himself has been standing guard on the battlefield outside the domain, at most leaving a strand of his divine sense to oversee the Nantian Sacred Land. But now, an avatar is personally returning, which must signify a significant event.

At such a time, it indeed isn’t suitable to have direct conflict with Zou Shaolong.

Upon this thought.

Qi Bing nodded and said with a deep voice, "In that case, let’s do as you suggest... Tomorrow, have someone take Jianyang with this Domain Lord to the Central Holy Region. I want to see how many heads Xiao Yi has, daring to beat the Saint Heir in my Nantian Sacred Land!"

"The Domain Lord is wise!" Zhuge Yao responded consecutively.

Li Jianyang was filled with indignant hatred; he really couldn’t wait until tomorrow to take his revenge.

But he also knew...

The decisions made by Qi Bing were not something he could change, so he could only grit his teeth, vengefully thinking: "Just one more night... As soon as the Sacred Master returns tomorrow, let the old Sacred Master take charge for me. Xiao Yi, you’re done for, no one can save you..."

...

An uneventful night passed.

By noon the following day.

Xiao Yi, who was cultivating in the small courtyard, sensed someone approaching and slowly opened his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the robe placed aside flew over to him. After putting it on, Xiao Yi looked towards the courtyard door.

Knock, knock, knock!

The door was knocked, and Qiu Yiyun’s voice came from outside: "Lord Xiao, the Sacred Master has already returned to the Central Holy Region. The Domain Lord has sent me to inform you that he still has unresolved matters in the Heavenly Domain. He asks me to take you to the Central Holy Region where he will directly travel from the Heavenly Domain to meet with you!"

"Understood!"

Xiao Yi acknowledged, squinting his eyes towards the direction of the Central Holy Region, revealing a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "Master Nantian? We are finally going to meet..."
