Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 661: Setting Out

Xiao Yi specifically sought out Little Star. He had intended to remove the Beast Taming Ring for him.

Otherwise, if anything unforeseen happened to himself in the Central Region, Little Star would never be able to remove the Beast Taming Ring on his own.

The promise between him and Little Star was to have him guard the Xiao Family for 30 years.

After 30 years, he would grant him freedom.

Xiao Yi did not wish to go back on his word.

However, since Little Star was unwilling, Xiao Yi didn’t force the issue.

Perhaps, after transforming into a human-shaped form, Little Star had grown accustomed to the life of humans.

Xiao Yi shook his head and didn’t dwell on it.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

With his current strength, nothing within a kilometer could escape his Six Senses.

"What’s wrong, Master?" Little Star asked, looking at Xiao Yi with confusion.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Nothing much, just ran into some old acquaintances."

"Wait here for me."

With that, Xiao Yi’s figure flashed and vanished on the spot.

...

Below the high mountain, several figures dashed swiftly through the edge of Thundering Desolate Marsh.

"Ah, another year has passed without notice," said a burly middle-aged uncle.

"Yes, Uncle Tie Da," a young man sighed softly beside him and said, "After this time, we’ll have to wait another year to pay tribute to Brother Yi Xiao."

That speaker was Lin Fei.

Uncle Tie Da let out a heavy sigh.

"Back then, Qianmo and little brother Yi Xiao were the youngest and most talented members of our team."

"Who would’ve thought, one dead and one gone."

"All we can do now is bring more tribute each year."

Lin Fei nodded and said softly, "I wonder where that little girl Qianmo is now and what she has achieved."

"Hey, but Uncle Tie Da, didn’t our Northern Mountain County have an amazing Heavenly Talent appear these past two years?"

"He seems to be called Purple Flame, and his name is Yi Xiao too."

"You think, could it be..."

"Don’t think too much, it’s impossible," Uncle Tie Da said with a laugh, "How could such important figures be the same Yi Xiao little brother who once did missions with us."

"True," Lin Fei laughed. freēnovelkiss.com

As they ran and spoke, they were unaware that a ghostly figure was following them from behind.

That figure was Xiao Yi.

At this moment, Xiao Yi, hearing their conversation, was full of disbelief but couldn’t help smiling knowingly.

The events of those years seemed like just yesterday.

Ahead, Uncle Tie Da and others, while running, suddenly turned extremely pale.

The ground beneath them collapsed in an instant.

Within moments, hundreds of meters around them cracked and sank.

"Be careful!" Uncle Tie Da exclaimed in shock.

But before they could react, an inexplicable force had already ’pushed’ them into the collapsing ground.

"A Prohibition Barrier?" Uncle Tie Da looked surprised.

"Could it be that we’ve encountered Cave Mansion Relics?" Lin Fei was equally startled.

"Uncle Tie Da, look, there are Cultivation Techniques, as well as Elixirs..."

...

This maneuver was naturally orchestrated by Xiao Yi.

The collapsing ground and Prohibition Barrier were commonplace tricks.

But with Uncle Tie Da and the others’ Cultivation, they would certainly not notice anything amiss.

Inside, Xiao Yi had placed several Xuan Rank Peak level Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, and some Third-grade Peak Elixirs.

It wasn’t that Xiao Yi was stingy.

It was just that he knew giving something too valuable would be more of a curse than a blessing for Uncle Tie Da and the others.

Ahead, Uncle Tie Da and the others were stunned with joy, yet remained cautious.

"My god, these are incredibly precious Peak Xuan Rank Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques..."

"And so many Elixirs, Uncle Tie Da, we’ve struck it rich..."

Xiao Yi didn’t watch them any longer. His figure flashed and he was already gone.

He did not reveal himself.

To Uncle Tie Da and the others, perhaps he was just a fleeting presence in their lives.

They, at their current level of interaction with him, did not know if it was a curse or a blessing.

They were merely a group at the Innate Realm, with no means of sky-controlling flight, and probably would never leave Northern Mountain County in their lifetimes.

No, to be exact, almost all their lives, they would never wander outside a dozen cities within the range of Mystic Breakthrough City.

Xiao Yi did not wish to disturb their peace.

...

High up on the mountain, Xiao Yi and Little Star left, heading back to the Xiao Family.

Before long, they returned to the Xiao Mansion.

The first sight that greeted them was naturally Elder Duan Yun, who sat cross-legged with closed eyes outside the Xiao Family’s gate day and night.

Originally, since Elder Duan Yun insisted on staying outside the Xiao Family gate, the members of the Xiao Family built a shelter outside the gate for him.

So he could shield himself from wind and rain.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the shelter was finished, Elder Duan Yun moved his position out of the shelter to continue sitting as before.

Without a doubt, he was a rather stubborn old man.

The Xiao Family members were at a loss as to what to do about it.

"Elder Duan Yun," Xiao Yi approached and called out softly.

"Hmm," Elder Duan Yun opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Little Star beside Xiao Yi.

Having been at the Xiao Family for a long time, he naturally knew Little Star’s identity.

But he didn’t say much, nor did he seem too surprised.

He knew about demon beasts transforming.

"Would Elder Duan Yun join me for a simple meal inside?" Xiao Yi asked.

Elder Duan Yun nodded his head and stood up.

"Whoa," Little Star was surprised and said, "Master, this old man was very stubborn before."

"And today he actually stood up."

Elder Duan Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Stubborn?"

"I just know that given this young man’s temperament, if I don’t wish it, he would forcefully drag me inside."

"With this young man’s current strength, I am helpless."

Xiao Yi smiled.

In his view, if Elder Duan Yun did not wish to return to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, then he shouldn’t return.

After all, even if Elder Duan Yun went back to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, he would be in secluded cultivation all year round.

It would be better for him to be in secluded cultivation at the Xiao Family.

Unfortunately, Elder Duan Yun was too stubborn, insisting on staying outside the Xiao Mansion gate. Xiao Yi had no other choice but to go along with it.

The three of them entered the Xiao Mansion.

The elders had already prepared a banquet.

...

Xiao Yi stayed at the Xiao Family for several days, then he departed.

He had entrusted all matters related to the Xiao Family, and now it was time to handle serious business.

Traveling through sky-controlling flight, it only took a few hours before Xiao Yi was back at the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

In the bamboo forest, Xiao Yi stood before a woman.

He had come to say goodbye.

The woman also knew Xiao Yi’s intentions and said indifferently, "Are you leaving today?"

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Then go," the woman spoke gravely, "I’ll say it again, if you can’t make it through that spatial turbulence, the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace can protect you and ensure a safe retreat."

"Remember not to act recklessly."

"If you happen to make it through, also remember to be careful in everything."

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded, "I take my leave."

After speaking, Xiao Yi bowed to the woman and turned to leave.

However, as soon as he left the Royal Capital, a graceful figure appeared in front of him.

The figure, with her back to him, seemed to have been waiting there for quite some time.

A faint, sorrowful, and desolate aura emanated from her silhouette.

"Yanran," Xiao Yi frowned slightly, muttering to himself.

The figure turned around; it was Liu Yanran.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yi said with a faint smile, asking.

"Waiting for you," Liu Yanran looked at Xiao Yi and replied softly.

...

The second update.
