Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1397: A Temporary Solution

"Hoo." Xiao Yi exhaled softly.

Others always called him a "little thief," and he usually chose to ignore it.

But hearing it repeatedly still got on his nerves.

Gongsun Huowu, such a spoiled girl, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.

But that didn’t mean he had a good temper, especially with Ximen Guye’s obnoxious words, which sounded even more piercing to his ears.

"Miss Lianxing." Xiao Yi looked at Guu Lianxing.

"I still have to train. If you trust me, you can leave with me."

He naturally had to focus on his training.

However, the starlight power on Guu Lianxing would be exhausted in no more than a few days.

To prolong Guu Lianxing’s life, she could only temporarily follow him.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, you’re kidding." Guu Lianxing smiled, "During these months, I still have to rely on Young Master Xiao Yi."

"Let’s go." Xiao Yi nodded and turned to leave.

Guu Lianxing followed.

Ximen Guye, who had been blasted away, was instantly alarmed, "Lianxing, don’t."

"That Xiao Yi little thief is notorious and surely has ulterior motives."

Guu Xinyue coldly said, "Lianxing, you’re a young lady, following such a notorious person alone, aren’t you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of our Heavenly Star Prefecture?"

Guu Lianxing paused for a moment, turned her head, and said seriously, "I don’t believe Young Master Xiao Yi is the vile person you all speak of."

"Sister Yue, please tell my father that Lianxing will return to the Heavenly Star Prefecture in three months."

With that said, Guu Lianxing followed Xiao Yi without looking back.

Guu Xinyue’s face turned cold, "Elders, aren’t you going to stop them quickly?"

Xiao Yi suddenly turned his head, his cold gaze fixed on Guu Xinyue, "Don’t waste a single word; I really will kill someone."

The impatience and indifference on Xiao Yi’s face proved that he wasn’t just saying it lightly.

Xiao Yi turned his head and left.

Before long, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

On the spot, Ximen Guye, Guu Xinyue, and the strongmen from the two mansions didn’t dare to make a sound.

"Damn." After a long while, Ximen Guye gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.

"Lianxing, why are you treating me like this?"

"I’ve always been compliant with you, yet you’re always indifferent."

"But just one word from that Xiao Yi little thief, and you follow him without hesitation?"

Ximen Guye’s fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound, his face flushed with anger, veins popping.

Beside him, Guu Xinyue’s previously ferocious expression had already faded, replaced by a look of satisfaction.

"Guye, Lianxing’s heart was never with you."

"Even without mentioning that Xiao Yi little thief, Lianxing is also betrothed to that forever wandering Ye Liu."

"Also, I heard from my father that Lianxing has at most two months to live, so why spend any more effort on her?"

"You are the Heavenly Slaughter Mansion Young Master, ranked third among the Eighteen Mansions’ Talents, and there are plenty who admire you."

"Lianxing just doesn’t know what’s good for her, I..."

Guu Xinyue spoke with smugness, but before she could finish.

Ximen Guye suddenly burst out in rage, "Shut up, what do you know? Guu Xinyue, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I advise you to give up on that idea soon. I, Ximen Guye, am not so shortsighted as to be interested in you."

"Hmph." Ximen Guye snorted coldly, turned, and left.

"You..." Guu Xinyue’s pretty face turned crimson, then black, her expression extremely unpleasant.

...

Outside the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land.

Xiao Yi walked on his own, with Guu Lianxing beside him.

The two of them, or rather, three, as Gongsun Huowu was also there.

"Why are you following?" Xiao Yi glanced at Gongsun Huowu.

"I want to come along." Gongsun Huowu blurted out, "During these three months, I will do my best to protect both of you."

"Protect us?" Xiao Yi’s face twitched.

Guu Lianxing heard this and covered her mouth with a smile.

"Lianxing, don’t worry." Gongsun Huowu looked seriously at Guu Lianxing, "Your illness is troublesome, but I believe, as vast as the world is, there will eventually be a solution."

"There must be a way." Gongsun Huowu’s face was full of determination.

Xiao Yi glanced at her.

This determination was something he had seen for the second time.

The first time was inside the Cave Mansion, where Gongsun Huowu stood fearfully but determinedly in front of the Main Mansion’s path.

At that time, she looked visibly frightened but was still stubbornly blocking the way.

Xiao Yi shook his head.

Gongsun Huowu, apart from being a bit of a hassle with her mouth, wasn’t too bad otherwise.

If she wanted to follow, then let her follow.

Anyway, taking care of Guu Lianxing, having one more person wouldn’t hurt.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, where do you plan to train?" Guu Lianxing asked at this point.

"Illusion Light Dangerous Land," Xiao Yi said directly.

"Illusion Light Dangerous Land?" Guu Lianxing was slightly confused, "The Illusion Light Dangerous Land is over in the Illusion Light Mansion’s territory."

"Several regions away from our Heavenly Star Territory, it’s not nearby."

The Illusion Light Mansion is one of the Six Lights.

Six Lights is comprised of Water Light Mansion, Golden Light Mansion, Thunder Light Mansion, Sword Light Mansion, Blood Light Mansion, and Illusion Light Mansion.

In terms of distance, after leaving the Heavenly Star Territory, you have to cross a dozen more territories to leave the Heavenly Star Prefecture’s sphere of influence.

After that, you have to cross the scope of four mansion forces, totaling about 50 or so territories in distance.

"A trip to the Illusion Light Mansion is to see if there’s a way to nurture your Martial Soul," Xiao Yi responded.

"A few days ago, I researched the major dangerous lands of the Eighteen Mansions."

"There was once a phenomenon over at the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, with illusion light covering the sky."

"Rumor has it, a Martial Artist whose Martial Soul was damaged was inexplicably able to repair it there."

With Xiao Yi’s caution, since he planned to train in the dangerous lands within the Eighteen Mansions’ sphere of influence, he naturally researched these eighteen dangerous lands.

He was originally pondering how to save Guu Lianxing.

As he left the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land leisurely just now, he thought of the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.

If he guessed correctly, there must also be Forbidden Land-style Cave Mansions in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, similar to the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land or Golden Light Forbidden Land.

A trip to the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, there might be gains, maybe not.

Gongsun Huowu heard this and her face lit up with joy, "Once the Martial Soul is repaired, Lianxing can be saved?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.

"I can prolong Miss Lianxing’s life, to put it simply, using my own starlight power to supplement her Martial Soul and bloodline’s starlight power."

"But this method can only last for three months at most."

"Three months later, with her current Martial Soul and bloodline damage, she will inevitably perish."

"A trip to the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, if we can repair her Martial Soul, that would be best; after that, if we can also repair the bloodline power."

"Miss Lianxing can at least extend her life for several more years."

"But that’s all; as long as the conflict between her bloodline and Martial Soul remains unsolved, they will continue to wear each other down, and at most after several years, it will be hopeless again."

"Several years." Gongsun Huowu gritted her teeth, "It’s better than nothing."

"Ha." Xiao Yi chuckled, "That’s just the best-case scenario."

"The Martial Soul, accompanying a Martial Artist throughout life, is of utmost importance; given Miss Lianxing’s current damage level, the chance of repair is extremely slim."

"In any case, we’ll do our best."

...

The fourth update.

The next updates will be in the evening.
