Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 165 - 164: End of Training

Xiao Yi had flown swiftly back to Green Light City by controlling the skies.

Now that his Cultivation had greatly increased, his flight speed had also become much faster.

In just half an hour, he had already returned to Green Light City.

Green Light City had long recovered its former order.

City Guards on patrol, Demon Hunters hurrying along, passing trading companies, and ordinary people doing small businesses.

Everything was as before.

Most local trading companies had also resumed normal operations.

Xiao Yi headed straight to the various trading companies.

He sold all three thousand Perfect Level Fourth Level Elixirs and over ten Heavenly Returning Pills.

He had precisely gathered thirty million Silver Taels.

These Fourth Level Elixirs, consisting of Giant Strength Pill, Sky-controlling Pill, Life Spirit Pill, among others, could be used in external battles.

Since they were of the Perfect Level, they could immediately take effect.

Thus, for Martial Artists venturing and encountering dangers outside, these Elixirs could very likely save their lives.

Therefore, they were invaluable and could be used as hard currency.

Each pill was priced nearly at ten thousand Silver Taels.

Not to mention the Heavenly Returning Pills, a Fifth-grade Healing Holy Medicine.

Their value was even higher.

Afterward, Xiao Yi went to the City Lord’s Mansion.

...

During the several days he was away from Green Light City,

Nie Rushan and other Blood Blade Guards, as well as Ning Hao and other Demon Hunting Captains, had also left one after another.

City Lords of the Eighteen Cities, except Liu Cangya, had also returned to their respective cities.

"Deacon Yi Xiao."

Outside the City Lord’s Mansion, two City Guards saw Xiao Yi.

They hurriedly came up to respectfully salute him.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly and said, "Please inform your City Lord that Yi Xiao has come to visit."

"One moment, Deacon Yi Xiao," a City Guard quickly ran into the City Lord’s Mansion.

It wasn’t long before Liu Cangya came out quickly.

"Deacon Yi Xiao," Liu Cangya greeted Xiao Yi with a smile and a cupped fist salute.

Xiao Yi nodded, took out a Qiankun Bag, and handed it to him, saying, "Yi Xiao has come to fulfill a promise made earlier."

"Oh?" Liu Cangya showed a puzzled expression.

When he opened the Qiankun Bag and saw the thirty million Silver Taels inside, he suddenly understood.

"So that’s it."

Liu Cangya smiled and said, "Actually, that was just Commander Nie wanting you to join the Blood Blade Guard, and intentionally making it difficult."

"Commander Nie, before leaving, instructed me to tell you that it was just a moment of frustration, and you need not take it seriously."

"Those deceased City Guards and Martial Artists were meritorious, having died protecting Green Light City."

"Their families will not be left to suffer."

"The county will allocate money as compensation after a few days."

"So, Deacon Yi Xiao, please take back the money."

Liu Cangya then returned the Qiankun Bag to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi declined, "No need. It’s good that the county will allocate the compensation money."

"However, I did indeed take all the Demon Beast Trophies."

"If taken for free, it would not be justifiable, neither in reason nor in principle."

"This..." Liu Cangya hesitated slightly.

"But, the total value of those Demon Beast Trophies isn’t worth thirty million Silver Taels..."

Xiao Yi interrupted, "The excess amount can be considered a token of Yi Xiao’s sincerity."

"You also know, I am an Alchemist, not short of money," Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"Hehe," Liu Cangya laughed, "Since Deacon Yi Xiao insists, I will accept it."

Liu Cangya knew that was just a casual remark by Xiao Yi.

Thirty million Silver Taels, even for a high-grade Alchemist, would be a heavy blow to take out all at once; how could it be mentioned so lightly?

However, since it was meant as a token of sincerity, he had no reason to refuse.

"Deacon Yi Xiao, rest assured, I will deliver these Silver Taels in full to their families."

"I trust you," Xiao Yi smiled.

Although he had not had many interactions with Liu Cangya, he trusted his character.

Last time, when looting the Shengbao Trading House, he didn’t touch a single Silver Tael there.

It was because he was gathering Silver Taels for the families of the deceased Martial Artists as compensation.

If looted, who knows if the notoriously ruthless people of the Northern Mountain Murong Family would cause trouble for those families.

"Oh my," Liu Cangya suddenly slapped his forehead, "I have been so muddled."

"To have chatted with Deacon Yi Xiao outside this mansion for so long without inviting you inside."

"No need," Xiao Yi smiled, "I have other matters and must leave."

"Oh? Something else? In such a hurry to leave again?" Liu Cangya’s face showed disappointment.

For Yi Xiao, a genius martial artist with outstanding martial arts talent who values relationships and loyalty,

everyone wanted to make friends with him.

"I really do have important matters," Xiao Yi said with a smile, "This time, I won’t disturb you any further. Next time, I will surely come to bother you."

"Since Yi Xiao, the Deacon, has important matters to attend to, I won’t keep you any longer,"

Liu Cangya said with a smile.

Xiao Yi clasped his fist and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Liu Cangya slapped his forehead again and said, "Tsk, I almost forgot."

"Deacon Yi Xiao, please wait."

"Is there something else?" Xiao Yi asked.

Liu Cangya said, "A few days ago, right after you left, two captains from the Demon Hunting Hall came looking for you."

"They said that in this Beast Tide, you killed countless demon beasts and the Demon Hunting Hall has additional rewards for you."

"The information has already been registered. You can collect your rewards at any branch hall in Northern Mountain County whenever you are free."

"Good," Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Yi seriously asked again to avoid any surprises from Liu Cangya.

"There’s nothing else," Liu Cangya shook his head.

At that moment, Xiao Yi flashed away, manifesting the Purple Flame Fire Wings and flew into the sky.

...

Xiao Yi had now successfully condensed the Qi Spring and broken through to the Mysterious Profundity Realm.

His cultivation had even reached the Mysterious Profundity Fifth Layer.

He did not plan to continue his training for the time being but chose to return to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

However, before that, he wanted to visit the Xiao Family first.

...

The flying speed of the current Xiao Yi was extremely fast.

In just a few days, he traveled from the Eighteen Cities of the Eastern Desolate back near Mystic Breakthrough City.

Afterward, he stopped.

He found an uninhabited place.

He removed his mask, changed back into ordinary clothes, and continued his journey as Xiao Yi.

With the physical strength of the Mystic Breakthrough First Layer, even just running was extremely fast.

In half a day, he returned from Mystic Breakthrough City to Purple Cloud City.

This was still the case when he was not traveling at full speed; otherwise, it would have taken even less time.

"Hmm?"

Just as he got near Purple Cloud City, Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

He clearly sensed a strong force lurking in the shadows.

Dozens of martial artists were secretly surveilling the Xiao Family.

Xiao Yi did not alert them, and surreptitiously observed for a moment.

"So it’s people from the Demon Hunting Hall."

When he saw the uniform the martial artists wore, Xiao Yi recognized them as members of the Law Enforcement Team.

"It must be because of the Demon Hunting Order," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

He was not very clear about the levels of the Demon Hunting Order.

He did not know that ordinary Demon Hunting Orders would not have Law Enforcement captains stationed long-term at the side of the protected families or individuals.

Only Hall Master Level Demon Hunting Orders would receive such treatment.

Of course, he did not need to think too much.

The Demon Hunting Hall was the world’s Demon Hunting Hall and would not get involved with any force.

Nor would it do anything unfavorable to the Xiao Family.

The strongest among these Law Enforcement Team members was only a Half-step Breaking Profound Level, and they hadn’t discovered him.

In an instant, Xiao Yi disappeared from the spot.

Before long, he had already returned to the Xiao Family.

Without alarming the other family members, Xiao Yi went directly to the Third Elder’s study.

...

As usual, the Third Elder, Xiao Chong, serving as the Acting Patriarch, was busy managing family affairs.

He was writing something but every now and then would close his eyes with a worried expression, pondering.

He had not yet noticed that a figure, with sincere concern and a smile, was secretly watching him.

"Ah," Xiao Chong sighed, closing his eyes and pondering for a while.

The next second, when he opened his eyes,

he found that the pen, ink, and paper on the table had all disappeared.

"Huh?" Xiao Chong was shocked.

At the same time, in front, a figure suddenly appeared holding his paper and pen.

"Who’s there?" Xiao Chong’s expression changed, thinking it was an enemy and was about to take action.

But a familiar crisp voice immediately made him stop.

"Uncle Xiao Chong, long time no see," Xiao Yi said with a light smile, putting down the paper and pen.

"Yi’er," Xiao Chong was immediately excited.

After a long while, he calmed his excitement and said with a smiling scold, "You rascal, you’ve grown so capable that you dare to tease even me."
