Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1421: Choose One of Two

Outside the Main Mansion.

One elder after another, along with the eight talents, were staring at the blood-colored bead inside the Main Mansion.

Their eyes seemed to be fixed in place.

In their minds, it seemed only this blood-colored bead remained.

"Blood relic, it turned out to be the Blood Relic."

"It seems the rumors are true."

"The first supreme treasure of the Blood Light Cave Mansion, the Blood Relic, truly exists."

The eight Young Masters muttered to themselves.

One elder after another gradually became somewhat dazed.

That blood-colored bead seemed to contain an inexplicable magic power, causing everyone to stare at it, moving step by step, gradually approaching the Main Mansion.

Inside the Main Mansion.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, even though he was multitasking at the moment; repairing Gu Lianxing’s bloodline on one hand, and absorbing Qi Blood Power on the other, he could still clearly perceive every movement within the Cave Mansion.

A group of elders and eight talents had arrived less than several dozen meters from the Main Mansion.

"What are you doing?" At this moment, Gongsun Huowu also reacted.

Turning around, glaring at everyone.

Everyone halted their steps, letting out a cold laugh.

They ignored Gongsun Huowu, instead looking at Xiao Yi.

"Hahahahaha." An elder laughed aloud, his face filled with ridicule.

"No wonder the infamous little thief Xiao Yi would come personally to the Blood Light Dangerous Land." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"No wonder the elders of our Eight Mansions tried their best to stop you, even declaring war as a threat, yet you still forcefully broke into the Blood Light Cave Mansion."

"You knew the Blood Relic was inside the cave long ago, didn’t you?"

"Blood Relic?" Xiao Yi looked at the blood-colored bead slowly absorbed from his fingertips, frowning.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Gongsun Huowu immediately shouted furiously.

"We came here just to borrow the power within the Blood Light Cave Mansion to repair Lianxing’s bloodline."

"How would we know anything about this Blood Relic?"

"Gongsun Huowu?" The eight talents instantly recognized Gongsun Huowu, who was also one of the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents.

"Tsk tsk, it’s rumored you, Gongsun Huowu, have always had a hot temper, straightforward."

"Now it seems, having spent time with this little thief Xiao Yi, you’ve learned to be sly."

"Xiao Yi, this little thief, is indeed quite capable." Another talent smirked mockingly.

"You, Gongsun Huowu, and Gu Lianxing are famous Heavenly Talents of our Eighteen Mansions."

"Yet he can have both of you following him?"

"Tsk tsk." The eight laughed in unison, but, clearly, their laughter bore mockery and ambiguous meaning.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold.

Still, as he was repairing Gu Lianxing’s bloodline, he couldn’t be bothered with them.

Whoosh...

Just at that moment, a fierce Primordial Power shot straight at Gu Lianxing.

Xiao Yi responded swiftly, bursting forth an Elemental Power from his body, a stroke of Starlight Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, intercepting the incoming Primordial Power.

"You courting death." Xiao Yi coldly glanced at one of them.

In truth, he recognized all eight talents here.

The Eighteen Mansions’s Talents, the eighteen Young Masters, all renowned Martial Arts Genius in the Central Region.

With some investigation, their appearances could easily be known.

These eight were the Young Masters of the Seven Star Mansion, Shaking Star Mansion, Medicine Star Mansion, Arrow Star Mansion; Thunder Light Mansion, Sword Light Mansion, Illusion Light Mansion, Blood Light Mansion.

The one who just attacked was the Young Master of the Blood Light Mansion, Xue Bai.

"Xue Bai, how despicable of you, attacking sneakily?" Gongsun Huowu shouted angrily.

"Sneak attack?" Xue Bai sneered, "If this young master is despicable, what does it make you three forcing your way into the Blood Light Cave Mansion without the command of our Blood Light Mansion?"

"Thieves?"

"That was merely a warning." Xue Bai looked coldly at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, drop the supreme treasure of the Blood Light Cave Mansion immediately, or don’t blame this young master for being rude."

"Your Blood Light Cave Mansion?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi snorted with laughter.

He never considered the Blood Light Cave Mansion as belonging to the Blood Light Mansion.

It’s merely that this dangerous land was named after the Blood Light Mansion, and the Cave Mansion was within this dangerous land, hence named after it, thus called Blood Light Mansion.

If it truly belonged to the Blood Light Mansion, Xue Bai wouldn’t have shown a look of ’greed.’

Such a Blood Relic, how could it still be inside the Cave Mansion? It’s probably already taken by the Blood Light Mansion.

At this time, Xiao Yi continued to slowly absorb the blood-colored bead.

Behind him, the faces of the eight talents and a group of elders had turned icy cold.

"Xiao Yi, do you think this young master’s warning is just a joke?" Xue Bai interjected coldly.

"If you don’t stop absorbing, don’t blame this young master for being rude to you three."

"Indeed." A Blood Light Mansion elder spoke up simultaneously, "Xiao Yi, within our Blood Light Cave Mansion, it’s not your place, little thief, to act so arrogantly."

"Quickly stop absorbing?"

"Rude?" Xiao Yi sneered, scarcely even casting a proper glance toward those elders.

"A group of defeated foes, have the nerve to speak such words?"

"Stop with the idle chatter." Several other talents and elders sneered.

"This little thief is notoriously crafty, skilled in persuasion."

"With his ruthless nature, he would have long acted, if it were any other time."

"Now, he’s only speaking derisively to delay time."

Inside the Main Mansion, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

He was indeed buying time.

These people clearly came with ill intentions.

But if it weren’t for him absorbing Qi Blood Power at the moment, repairing Gu Lianxing’s bloodline, he wouldn’t fear them at all.

"Little thief, haven’t surrendered yet?" A long burst from an elder, shaking the Cave Mansion.

"Just with you telling me to surrender? Not qualified enough." Xiao Yi laughed indifferently.

A sudden fury enveloped the elders and eight talents.

"Impudent."

"Arrogant."

"Your end has arrived."

Raging shouts suddenly echoed.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Fierce attacks surged forth instantly.

Dense and fierce attacks instantly targeted Xiao Yi’s back.

Xiao Yi frowned, at this moment, his hands were occupied, with one guiding Qi Blood Power for Gu Lianxing, and the other absorbing the blood-colored bead, making it impossible to defend.

"Xiao Yi, I’ll assist you." Gongsun Huowu shouted fervently.

"Stay back." Xiao Yi reprimanded heavily.

Not to mention these elders, each possessed the power of the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.

Even the eight talents, after the Martial Soul’s second awakening, had far surpassed Gongsun Huowu in strength.

Gongsun Huowu, originally ranked fifth, had become immensely distanced from these eight in terms of strength after this awakening.

Her Peak of the Saint King Realm cultivation couldn’t even block a single attack among these.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

A series of dense explosions erupted from Xiao Yi’s back.

Fierce attacks struck his back entirely.

Dozens of powerful attacks above the Saint Emperor Realm, he chose to withstand them.

Gu Lianxing’s bloodline repair was mere steps away, relinquishing now would mean all efforts in vain.

The blood-colored bead, evidently an extraordinary item, was also close to being fully absorbed.

Both, he wouldn’t give up.

But the consequence of enduring those attacks was having his face go pale, a thread of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

On his back, starlight Elemental Power fused, mitigating much of the force’s impact.

"Light injuries?" Behind him, the faces of elders and eight talents changed slightly.

"As expected from the infamous little thief Xiao Yi, your strength is indeed prominent."

"Yet, you may be able to withstand our attacks, but can Gu Lianxing as well?"

The eight talents scoffed.

Upon the words, Xiao Yi’s expression shifted drastically.

"Heh." Xue Bai sneered, "Between the Blood Relic or saving Gu Lianxing, choose one."

"Attack."

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Once again, a flurry of fierce attacks rampaged forth.

This time, however, they were not directed at Xiao Yi, but at Gu Lianxing meditating, defenseless with closed eyes.
