Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 656: Rescue Again

"Mm."

In the room, the Hall Master lightly hummed.

"Let him return to Medicine King Valley first, Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao will go later."

"Yes," came a reply from outside the room.

Inside the room.

The Hall Master looked at Xiao Yi and spoke softly, "If I’m not mistaken, he is here for the matter of his granddaughter."

Xiao Yi nodded but was somewhat puzzled, "I’ve only just returned to the Main Hall, how did he learn of my return so quickly?"

The Hall Master lightly laughed, "It’s not that he knew you were back."

"Rather, he has come to the Demon Hunting Hall many times, each time looking for you."

"It seems the situation is urgent."

"Do not hold it against him," the Hall Master suddenly added, "he had too many compulsions."

The Hall Master naturally knew of the situation during the grand battle in the Royal Capital.

He also knew about the alliance of Flame Martial King, Su Zhenxuan, and Su Bai.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi said, "I know, on that day, Su Zhenxuan held back."

Previously, Xiao Yi had always thought Su Zhenxuan was merely a Late Stage Earth Extreme Martial Artist.

Now, it appears that Su Zhenxuan is at least a Late-stage Earth Extreme Expert.

Long ago, Su Zhenxuan had already begun the Life and Death Barrier.

During the battle in the Royal Capital, if Su Zhenxuan had fought with all his might, even Elder Yi wouldn’t have been able to leave that last bit of life force.

"Medicine King Valley, after all, is a power within the Flame Martial Kingdom," the Hall Master said gravely.

"He had no choice but to stand on the side of the Flame Martial King."

Xiao Yi nodded, he did not care to ponder on this matter further.

Su Zhenxuan and Su Bai, after all, had made their move that day.

What was done was done; for some things, no amount of reasoning could reverse them.

Even if not enemies, they certainly wouldn’t be friends.

But, one thing was separate from another.

The matter of Qianmo, even if these two men were enemies, Xiao Yi would still go to rescue her.

Qianmo’s issue is Qianmo’s; these two men’s issues are theirs.

Xiao Yi was very clear on that.

"I will make a trip to the Medicine King Valley and then return to the Sword Sect," Xiao Yi stated indifferently.

"Mm," the Hall Master nodded, "Go ahead."

"About my identity, please keep it secret for me for the time being," Xiao Yi said.

Regarding the matter of identity, revealing it brought no benefits; not revealing it might bring unexpected gains in the future.

Xiao Yi naturally chose the latter.

The Hall Master smiled, knowing what was on Xiao Yi’s mind, and chuckled, "You young man, always so cautious."

Xiao Yi smiled, paid his respects, and then turned to leave.

...

Leaving the Demon Hunting Hall, Xiao Yi headed towards Medicine King Valley.

Of course, while at the Demon Hunting Hall, he had already changed back into black tight-fitting clothes and donned the Ghost Mask.

Just as he arrived at the gate of Medicine King Valley.

Two Disciples guarding the gate hurriedly welcomed him in.

One of them quickly went to report to the Valley Master.

Soon, nearly all of the major figures in Medicine King Valley flew over.

"Elder Yi Xiao," Su Bai was the first to flash over.

Xiao Yi nodded indifferently.

Su Bai did not mind and lightly chuckled, "Elder Yi Xiao, it’s been a year since we’ve seen each other."

Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "How is the Young Valley Master now?"

Su Bai frowned slightly, puzzled by Xiao Yi’s cold attitude, but hearing Xiao Yi’s question, he quickly became anxious.

"After Elder Yi Xiao treated my daughter more than a year ago, she woke up for a while."

"But her body is still very weak, necessitating frequent retreats for recuperation."

"And a little over a month ago, my daughter’s condition suddenly worsened, and she fell into a coma again, leaving us helpless."

"Currently, the Valley Master is just about managing to stabilize her condition." novelbuddy-cσ๓

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Lead the way."

...

It was still the same chamber as last time.

"Elder Yi Xiao," Su Zhenxuan called out anxiously.

Xiao Yi nodded and quickly walked to the bedside.

On the bed, Qianmo lay unconscious, her face so pale it was heartbreaking.

"Elder Yi Xiao, quickly save her, with your abilities, you can surely revive the Young Valley Master once again," some elders urgently said.

"No rush," Xiao Yi said gravely as he observed Qianmo on the bed.

Last time, he had asserted that Qianmo could remain unharmed for over a year.

Now, a year later, issues had arisen again.

Last time, he had forcibly extinguished several sections of the Longevity Vine, snatching back Qianmo’s lifeforce.

But this method was, after all, only a temporary solution.

He was about to go to the Central Region and couldn’t afford to come back every year.

He really did not want to see Qianmo encounter any accidents.

Xiao Yi sat down by the bedside, took Qianmo’s pulse, and sensed her condition.

Indeed, the Longevity Vine had grown back again, robbing Qianmo of her lifeforce.

This had caused Qianmo to fall into a coma.

Xiao Yi frowned, while Su Zhenxuan and the others, anxious as they were, dared not interrupt.

After a long while, Xiao Yi seemed to recall something, his gaze turning towards Su Zhenxuan and the others.

"I want to ask, when did Qianmo awaken her Martial Soul?" Xiao Yi asked gravely.

"This..." Su Bai and others frowned, pondering.

"Six years old," Su Zhenxuan blurted out.

"Six years old," Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"If I remember correctly, a predecessor in your Medicine King Valley who also awakened the Longevity Vine Martial Soul had once mentioned."

"Those who awaken the Longevity Vine Martial Soul, as long as they reach the Extreme Realm before the age of 20, can be safe and sound."

Xiao Yi had always felt that the emphasis of this statement was not on being 20 years old, but on reaching the Extreme Realm.

It was only a few days ago that he confirmed this.

Extreme Realm experts, with Heaven and Earth Martial Arts bestowed upon them, have a long lifespan.

With such longevity, they can support the ’lifeforce’ absorbed by the Longevity Vine Martial Soul.

As for being 20 years old...

Xiao Yi speculated that this probably referred to a time frame.

The last time he was in the Medicine King Valley, when he saw the documents left by that predecessor, Xiao Yi had specifically noted the information.

That predecessor had awakened at six years old as well.

And that predecessor had perished from Martial Soul backlash precisely at the age of 20.

If his guess was correct, the real time limit would be 14 years.

That is to say, as long as one cultivated to the Extreme Realm within 14 years, they would be unscathed.

Xiao Yi voiced his speculation.

Su Zhenxuan’s eyes brightened, "This is very likely."

Xiao Yi softly said, "Whether my guess is correct can only be confirmed after the Young Valley Master wakes up and a further examination."

"Like last time, while I save her, it would be best if everyone waits outside."

"Alright," Su Zhenxuan immediately agreed.

With the experience from over a year ago, Su Zhenxuan had no doubt about Yi Xiao’s abilities.

The people left the room.

Xiao Yi set up a barrier prohibition.

With his current strength, the prohibition he set up was such that even Late-stage Extreme Realm Martial Artists would find it hard to spy through.

Like the last time, Xiao Yi released his senses, entered Qianmo’s internal Small World.

Following that, the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes appeared, eradicating the Longevity Vine.

This time, Xiao Yi did not leave any part of the Longevity Vine intact but completely destroyed it.

Only a weak seed of the entire Longevity Vine Martial Soul remained.

This also meant that Qianmo’s cultivation level would directly fall to Mortal Realm First Layer.

Xiao Yi planned to let her cultivate anew.

Given her current Martial Arts Realm, reaching the Earth Extreme in 14 years should not be problematic.

After a while, Xiao Yi withdrew his senses.

Qianmo’s complexion gradually regained a healthy glow.

The lifeforce stolen by the Longevity Vine was gradually returning to her.

Xiao Yi smiled, gently stroking her forehead hair, "After you wake up, cultivate properly and don’t be as reckless as before."

"I’m leaving."

This was his last farewell before heading to the Central Region.

Unexpectedly, the person on the bed suddenly called out, "Yi Xiao..."

She had not awakened, merely murmuring dreamily.

Xiao Yi smiled, placed the hand he had used to take her pulse back under the covers, and gently made sure she was well covered.

Then, he turned around and left the room.

...

The second update.
