Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1427: Strange Hostility

"Huowu, well said."

Within the Main Mansion, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was somewhat familiar and yet somewhat strange.

Familiar because the voice was pleasant and clear.

Strange because the voice no longer held any trace of weakness.

"Lianxing." Gongsun Huowu immediately reacted.

Indeed, it was Gu Lianxing who was speaking.

At this moment, Gu Lianxing, previously weak, had already been cured by Xiao Yi’s elixir.

The Martial Soul and bloodline within her were both in perfect condition.

The vigor and spirit of a martial artist were at their peak.

That gentle face, though still white as jade, showed no sign of weakness, instead revealing a healthy blush.

At this moment, Gu Lianxing was not at all like the sickly girl people talked about, nor did she have any trace of illness.

She was simply a beautiful Heavenly Talent.

Gu Lianxing slowly stood up.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, collecting the starlight power from outside the Main Mansion.

Gu Lianxing and another walked slowly forward and arrived in front of Xiao Yi.

"Lianxing thanks Young Master Xiao Yi deeply." Gu Lianxing bowed heavily.

"No need for thanks." Xiao Yi smiled lightly.

"Let’s go."

Thus, the purpose of coming to the Blood Light Cave Mansion was achieved.

And by now, the Master of Blood Light Mansion should arrive soon, so they wouldn’t linger in the cave mansion.

The three of them turned and left.

Behind them.

"Lianxing... Miss Lianxing."

The eight Young Masters from the Eight Mansions hurriedly spoke.

"Are you going to leave with this little thief?"

"This Xiao Yi is notoriously ruthless and infamous. Following him would be like entering a tiger’s den."

"That’s right." Ten elders spoke up repeatedly, "Young Master Lianxing, quickly enter the formation."

"With us here, we will protect you..."

Gu Lianxing coolly interrupted, "Though Lianxing had closed her eyes just now, her ears weren’t deaf."

The happenings just now hadn’t been seen by Gu Lianxing as she sat cross-legged with closed eyes.

Yet, the words spoken inside the cave mansion were clearly heard by her.

Gu Lianxing glanced at the eight Heavenly Talents, "Over the years, Lianxing always considered you friends. Now, it seems it was Lianxing’s wishful thinking."

"Or perhaps it’s because Lianxing’s body has been weak, and her vision also worsened over the years."

After finishing her words, Gu Lianxing didn’t say more and turned to leave.

Behind her, the crowd of Heavenly Talents and elders looked displeased but did not speak further.

In the face of facts, any more words and excuses are futile.

Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...

Outside the Blood Light Cave Mansion, three figures leaped out.

...

The three flew swiftly for several hours before finally slowing down.

"Even if Blood Light Mansion wants to cause trouble from this distance, they wouldn’t catch up." Xiao Yi remarked.

Several hours of flying with his speed covered millions of miles.

Over such a long distance, with his hidden traces along the way, no one should be able to pursue them.

"Young Master Xiao Yi."

At this moment, Gu Lianxing called out.

But Xiao Yi’s face remained solemn, and he didn’t answer.

"Uh." Gu Lianxing paused, a bit surprised.

Xiao Yi still didn’t respond.

Because, at this moment, he was ’conversing’ with the Sword Spirit within the Cold Flame Sword.

"Kid, what madness are you doing? Why haven’t you gone back yet?"

"Though the Blood Relic has spirit, once it joins the Blood Pearl, it’s hard to extract again, but that’s just for ordinary martial artists."

"You’ve practiced the Blood Slaughter Demon Scripture. With some effort, you can definitely extract it again."

The Sword Spirit’s voice was full of urgency.

"No, I have other matters." Xiao Yi sent a message.

"Other matters?" Sword Spirit’s voice gradually revealed anger.

"These so-called other matters involve these two little girls."

"Kid, I advise you not to be foolish."

"Do you know why you were able to obtain the Blood Slaughter Demon Scripture?"

"Why?" Xiao Yi replied through transmission.

"Naturally, it’s my gift." The Sword Spirit scolded, "I am currently weak and need a large amount of Qi-Blood Power."

"Thanks to the abundant and surging Qi-Blood Power within the cave mansion, I was able to recover a bit and hence passed you the Blood Slaughter Demon Scripture."

"If I had that Blood Relic, even half of its power shared between us, I could recover greatly."

The Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly carried a sense of amusement, even seduction.

"The Blood Slaughter Demon Scripture is such an incredible cultivation technique with formidable methods that you should clearly understand after practicing it."

"It’s something I could give you upon recovering a little."

"If I recover enough, you could obtain..."

"No need." Xiao Yi interrupted coldly.

"Besides, I have other matters now. I won’t argue with you at present."

"Once things are settled, tell me everything about your origin, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Truth be told, there’s something strange and eerie about this Sword Spirit, which made Xiao Yi somewhat apprehensive.

However, it’s ultimately just a Spiritual Sense.

As long as it’s a Spiritual Sense, Xiao Yi doesn’t fear.

Back then, the Spiritual Sense of Ice Venerable and the hundreds of thousands within Fengxu Secret Realm couldn’t do anything to him.

Let alone a weak Spiritual Sense within a sword?

Though now is not the time to pursue this.

"You..." Sword Spirit seemed to ignore Xiao Yi’s ’threat’, growing more furious.

"Other matters? These two little girls’ trivial affairs?"

"Kid, what are these two little girls to you? If you help me recover..."

"They are my friends." Xiao Yi interrupted coldly again.

"Friends?" Sword Spirit only replied with one word, suddenly sinking into silence.

But Xiao Yi could distinctly detect a hint of inexplicable melancholy from the Sword Spirit’s voice.

Nevertheless, the Sword Spirit no longer transmitted, and Xiao Yi ignored it further.

As for the Blood Relic, Xiao Yi was not in a hurry.

The Blood Light Cave Mansion has existed for such a long time.

The secrets within must be known to the Eighteen Mansions, though kept hidden and never shared.

The Mansion Masters or the old monsters within the Mansions surely know these secrets.

Yet, after so much time has passed, none of the Eighteen Mansions obtained treasures within.

Thus, Xiao Yi wasn’t in a hurry either.

Once he has time, visiting the Blood Light Cave Mansion again wouldn’t be too late.

Having obtained the Blood Relic now, its uses aren’t vast given his cultivation.

Moreover, the saying "A man who possesses a precious object deserves his misfortunes" was something he understood well; or rather, after suffering many such misfortunes, was something he learned deeply.

At this point, Gu Lianxing and her companion noticed Xiao Yi’s delayed response, feeling somewhat anxious.

"Young Master Xiao Yi."

"Little thief, are you alright?" Gongsun Huowu directly shook Xiao Yi’s arm.

"Oh." Xiao Yi came back to his senses, asking, "What’s the matter?"

"Phew." The two sighed in relief, "We thought you were disturbed by those Qi-Blood Powers."

"By the way." Xiao Yi suddenly inquired, "Miss Lianxing, does your Heavenly Star Prefecture have enmity with the Eight Mansions? Or do you have enmity with Heu You and the others?"

"Huh?" Gu Lianxing paused, then shook her head, "No, why does Young Master Xiao Yi say this?"

"No?" Xiao Yi frowned.

He knew he wasn’t wrong; back then, after the Blood Relic matter, the killing intent and hostility revealed by the eight were clearly directed at Gu Lianxing.

Feng Ji’s words ’If you must blame, blame yourself for meddling’ also confirmed he was certainly not mistaken.
