Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1400: Inside the Heavenly Star Prefecture
The middle-aged man, undoubtedly, is the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
Under the icy expression of the Heavenly Star Mansion Master, a few words were spat out, "Which direction?"
What he was asking naturally referred to the direction Xiao Yi ’took’ Guu Lianxing.
In fact, the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures have been an Overlord Force for countless ages. How could a mansion master be an ordinary person?
It’s just that, with Guu Xinyue’s words and a group of elders ’testifying,’ he naturally had no doubts.
"Master, don’t be anxious." Guu Xinyue said solemnly, "Lianxing has been taken, and I’m also extremely anxious, but this matter requires careful planning."
"Nonsense." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master shouted coldly, "How can you expect me not to be anxious?"
"Lianxing has at most two months left to live, why would Xiao Yi take her?"
"He wouldn’t even spare someone close to death, just how despicable is he?"
Anger was written all over the Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s face.
The furious shout made the atmosphere in the Council Hall heavy to the extreme.
The group of elders at the Saint Emperor Realm were even pressed to the point they could hardly breathe.
"Master, calm down," the elders repeatedly spoke.
"Master," Guu Xinyue’s face was pale.
"Hoo," the Heavenly Star Mansion Master took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.
Guu Lianxing, as his only daughter, with only two months of life left, was abducted by a ’thief.’ This was the main reason for his current extreme anxiety and untold rage without doubts.
"Master," Guu Xinyue said solemnly, "That little thief Xiao Yi has a notorious reputation."
"Lianxing is now in his hands and in imminent danger."
"If the Master hastily pursues him, that little thief could erupt with aggression, and Lianxing might be in even more danger."
"In my view, neither the Master nor our Heavenly Star Mansion Martial Artists should make a move."
"Hmm?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master raised an eyebrow, "Xinyue, what do you mean?"
"It’s simple," Guu Xinyue smiled, and said, "That little thief Xiao Yi is extremely cunning."
"If we make a move, especially if you personally make a move, Master, that little thief is bound to use Lianxing as leverage against us."
"In that case, we do nothing."
"You want strong individuals from other mansions to make a move?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master slightly frowned.
"Precisely," Guu Xinyue nodded.
"Having the Heavenly Nether Mansion’s assassins deal with this matter is more than suitable."
"Heavenly Nether Mansion, as the premier assassin force in the Central Region, has assassins with remarkable skill and are adept at tracking and hiding."
"Looking across the Central Region, those targeted by them rarely escape."
"As long as the price is right, that little thief Xiao Yi will undoubtedly die, and Lianxing will surely be safely rescued."
"Heavenly Nether Mansion?" A trace of hesitation flashed across the Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s face.
Sending a group of assassins to rescue someone?
Guu Xinyue, evidently noticing the hesitation on the Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s face, continued, "Besides Heavenly Nether Mansion, Heavenly Slaughter Mansion is also willing to send strong individuals to assist."
"Guye has deep relations with me and Lianxing."
"After Lianxing was abducted, I immediately discussed with Guye."
"Guye promised that as long as Lianxing can be rescued, Heavenly Slaughter Mansion is willing to spare no expense and send their strongest."
"Hmm, very good," the Heavenly Star Mansion Master nodded.
"Later, I’ll send a message to Ye Saint Mansion also asking for help."
"Master, this can’t be done," Guu Xinyue quickly said, "Although Lianxing has a marriage contract with the Young Master Ye of the Ye Family."
"But, Young Master Ye has always been unruly and wouldn’t let Lianxing wait in vain for years."
"Ye Saint Mansion there may not exert full effort to help."
"If this causes further complications, it might become more troublesome."
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master contemplated the words, then sighed.
"Lianxing and Young Master Ye were childhood friends. I agreed to this marriage years ago."
"Who would have thought that Young Master Ye would grow up to be so unruly."
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master shook his head, "Forget it, Xinyue, you’re always thorough in your considerations; since you’ve prepared everything for rescuing Lianxing, let you handle this matter."
"Remember, I want Lianxing returned safely."
"Yes, Master, rest assured," Guu Xinyue nodded seriously, but a trace of coldness flashed across her heart.
...
After leaving the Council Hall, Guu Xinyue headed back to the mansion.
As the Great Elder’s only daughter, her status in the Heavenly Star Mansion was not lower than ordinary elders.
At this time, several elders caught up with her.
"Xinyue, your actions..."
The words of the elders were yet unfinished when they were interrupted by Guu Xinyue’s cold look.
"What? Want to lecture me?"
"Think it through, Lianxing has only two months left, this is an undeniable fact."
"Once Lianxing dies, I will be the top Heavenly Talent of the Heavenly Star Mansion."
"The one who will inherit the position of Heavenly Star Mansion Master in the future will also be me. Think carefully about what you should say and do."
With that, Guu Xinyue waved her sleeves and left with triumph.
The few elders’ faces were unsightly but did not speak further.
Guu Xinyue’s mouth curled with a sinister cold smile, "Guye, are you satisfied with my actions?"
"Heh, I’ll make it so that you are satisfied, very satisfied."
The sinister gaze sparkled with chill.
...
Far away, thousands of miles away.
In the Shaking Star Dangerous Land, dozens of regions away from the Heavenly Star Territory.
Clang...
A clear sword hum resonated.
Boom...
A giant beast collapsed with a crash.
"Such strong power," Guu Lianxing praised repeatedly while gazing at the distant elegant figure weaving sword shadows.
"For days, we’ve crossed numerous dangerous lands, I’ve yet to see Young Master Xiao Yi suffer a defeat."
"Whether it was the demon beast outside or those deep in the dangerous land, all were slain easily, truly impressive."
Gongsun Huowu frowned, "Lianxing, you say this little thief is so strong, how could he have been expelled from the Academy twice?"
"I see no signs that he’s lacking in talent."
"How could he have been refused by the elders of Heavenly Sword Peak due to insufficient talent, leading to his expulsion from the Academy?"
"Who knows?" Guu Lianxing shook her head.
"In any case, in contrast to what I’ve heard, believe your own eyes."
"True," Gongsun Huowu nodded and smiled.
When Guu Lianxing heard the remark, she gave a slight smile.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Huowu muttered to herself, "This little thief has a perpetually cold face, always looking arrogant and deserving a beating."
"If I were an elder of Heavenly Sword Peak, I wouldn’t take him either."
"Having such a disciple would likely drive me to rage."
Guu Lianxing’s smile stiffened, with a bitter smile, "I’d also fear being infuriated by you."
"Why?" Gongsun Huowu asked puzzledly.
"Sigh," Guu Lianxing sighed, not speaking further.
...
Days later.
Xiao Yi finished his training and left the depths of Shaking Star Dangerous Land.
Clang...
A sword fell, casually slaying a demon beast attempting to ambush the three of them.
This was a Hidden Blood Python, in terms of strength, reaching the Saint Emperor Realm Fifth Layer.
About to collect Essence Blood and inner core and leave.
Suddenly, whoosh... a stream of light shot through the sky.
Xiao Yi stepped back slightly, easily dodging the light.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
A dozen martial artists flashed into view.
These dozen people, all holding large knives and with sturdy builds.
Just by appearance, they seemed no different from typical Demon Hunting Teams.
"Friend, that Hidden Blood Python, we’ve been pursuing for quite a while," said the leading martial artist with a hearty smile.
"Having you take the Essence Blood and inner core like that, my team members aren’t pleased."
With that, the dozen martial artists surrounded Xiao Yi’s group.
...
The first update.
The second and third updates will be completed before midnight.
