Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1590: What Difference Is There from the Calamity of Demon Beasts
The black-robed illusion was shattered.
The surrounding martial artists were stunned for a moment, then erupted in exclamations.
"To rid the entire Central Region of evil cultivators? What audacity."
"No wonder he’s called Purple Flame Yi Xiao, truly domineering."
"..."
Exclamations continued one after another.
Xiao Yi ignored them. After collecting the Universe Rings from all the evil cultivators’ corpses present, he flashed and proceeded into the inner parts of the Fire Teeth Sect.
The surrounding martial artists showed not a hint of displeasure at this.
The evil cultivators were all killed by Yi Xiao; it was only right that the spoils belonged to him.
...
On the other side, Xiao Yi headed directly to the Fire Teeth Sect’s treasury.
Firstly, he wanted to see if there were any intelligence dossiers about the Evil Lord Mansion.
After all, this Fire Teeth Branch was considered a very large branch of the Evil Lord Mansion.
The Fire Teeth Branch governed the branches of hundreds of territories.
Secondly, he wouldn’t miss out on the cultivation items and the large amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood here.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yi had almost finished searching the entire Fire Teeth Sect.
There were indeed many cultivation items.
After all, the Fire Teeth Sect was a major force with supreme experts.
As for the Demon Beast Essence Blood, there was no need to elaborate.
These evil cultivators frequently committed murder and plunder, and they also often liked to control demon beasts to incite beast tides.
Naturally, they had far more Demon Beast Essence Blood than other ordinary forces.
But there wasn’t much in the way of intelligence dossiers.
The Evil Lord Mansion truly was an extremely tight-knit organization.
Even a large branch like Fire Teeth had no direct information about the Evil Lord Mansion’s General Mansion.
The usual contacts and conversations were always with the protectors within the Evil Lord Mansion.
The location of the Evil Lord Mansion’s General Mansion was unknown to anyone.
Even the intelligence of the Ancient Eight Halls didn’t mention it.
This organization was indeed mysterious and extremely adept at concealing itself, which is why it had lasted for so many years.
Otherwise, as a universally despised force, even hunted by the Ancient Eight Halls, it would have been eliminated long ago.
Xiao Yi also did not know.
Even though his Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes had extraordinary abilities, there were simply too many territories in the Central Region.
He also did not know which territory or even ancient place the Evil Lord Mansion resided.
The Fire Teeth Sect Master or that Supreme Elder might know, or might have been to the General Mansion.
But there was surely no clear record of this.
Now that they’re dead, there is no way to inquire.
Xiao Yi shook his head and sighed.
The dossiers found here were all unimportant intelligence.
However, for now, it wasn’t critical to determine the location of the Evil Lord Mansion’s General Mansion.
After all, even if he knew, he didn’t have the power to shake them.
But the rest of those branches, Xiao Yi held no regard for them.
Xiao Yi cautiously sensed the area, and then used Heaven and Earth Power to carefully sense it again.
He took care to sense in order to see if there were any oversights in his search.
After all, under such a sense, the entire Fire Teeth Mountain would be enveloped.
If there were any places housing important intelligence or items, there would definitely be prohibitions in place.
Evil cultivators practice the Evil Dao, so any prohibitions they set would contain Evil Power.
Therefore, if there really were any important places in the Fire Teeth Sect that he’d overlooked, Xiao Yi could immediately sense it.
After a moment, Xiao Yi withdrew his sensing, having found nothing.
He had searched every part of the Fire Teeth Sect.
...
Whoosh... Whoosh...
With a few flickers, Xiao Yi left the Fire Teeth Sect and returned to the mountain peak.
Just as he was about to leave the Fire Teeth Mountain, Xiao Yi suddenly paused in his steps.
At this moment, Liao Ling’er was surrounded by a crowd of martial artists.
The faces of the crowd of martial artists were unfriendly. "You brat, you cause such a big mess and think you can just walk away?"
"We almost died here because of you, buried in this place."
"I... I..." Liao Ling’er looked panicked.
Seeing the unfriendly crowd of martial artists closing in step by step, Liao Ling’er trembled.
A martial artist swung a slap at her.
Liao Ling’er only closed her eyes in fear, not dodging.
Slap...
Just at that moment, a figure caught the hand of the one attempting to slap her.
Liao Ling’er opened her eyes in confusion, seeing Xiao Yi standing in front of her.
"Yi Xiao..." Liao Ling’er’s expression was complicated.
Xiao Yi ignored her and instead looked at the martial artist in front of him.
"Purple Flame, are you going to protect this girl?" The martial artist frowned. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The surrounding martial artists also frowned.
"Yi Xiao, although you saved us, we should keep issues separate."
"If it weren’t for this girl’s reckless actions, activating the prohibition, sending us into that mountain belly, we wouldn’t have almost lost our lives."
"Fine, let’s keep issues separate." Xiao Yi replied indifferently. "Do you all believe Liao Ling’er was wrong?"
"Of course, that’s a given," the surrounding martial artists glared.
Of course, they weren’t glaring at Xiao Yi, but at Liao Ling’er.
"Heh." Xiao Yi gave a cold smile. "Then in your opinion, were the Eight Palace Martial Artists wrong back then when they desperately protected the continent even knowing they were outmatched against the demon beasts?"
"That’s not the same thing," the surrounding martial artists retorted.
"How is it not the same?" Xiao Yi replied coldly, "These evil cultivators plunder martial artists everywhere, incite beast tides to massacre regions, even slaughtering countless large cities."
"How is their disaster any different from the demon beasts’?"
"Are you saying that just because one lacks the strength to defeat the evil cultivators, it’s wrong to oppose them?"
"If one day evil cultivators massacre the continent, requiring help from martial artists from all over, would it be okay to flee due to lack of strength, ignoring it completely?"
"I ask you, is it right or wrong to deal with evil cultivators?"
"This..." The martial artist frowned, attempting to rebut, but seeing Xiao Yi’s cold gaze, swallowed his words.
"Forget it, hmph." The martial artist glared at Liao Ling’er, "Since Yi Xiao pleads for you, we’ll let this go for now."
The surrounding martial artists nodded in agreement.
"Since Purple Flame, you have a connection with this girl and wish to protect her, we’ll give you this face," they said.
With that, the crowd of martial artists cupped their hands, "Farewell."
It was clear to everyone that Xiao Yi was protecting Liao Ling’er.
Since Xiao Yi had saved everyone present, they did not dwell on it and thus took their leave.
Soon, martial artists from various major forces flew off into the air.
Left were only Xiao Yi and Liao Ling’er.
Liao Ling’er breathed a sigh of relief once the crowd had left, and the next moment, she smiled sweetly.
Protect me?
Liao Ling’er’s smile brightened even more.
"What are you smiling at?" Xiao Yi glanced at her with indifferent eyes.
"Do you think you did the right thing?"
"Only thinking to reveal the true face of the Fire Teeth Sect, but not considering the consequences and the real distance involved."
"Do you know that elders of various major forces are the backbone of this region; their Heavenly Talents are this region’s future."
"If they all perished here today, the whole Fire Teeth Territory would be deeply affected, and over time, this could even be a disaster."
...
The fifth update. (Explosive)
