Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1430: The First to Stand Out Has Emerged
The Great Elder’s tone was filled with extreme certainty, yet incredulity.
These two disparate expressions made his face exceedingly complex.
Guu Xinyue, always deep in thought, stared at the Great Elder’s expression for a while and seemed to grasp the underlying problem.
"Father, what’s inside the Illusion Light Cave Mansion?"
To make her father, a dignified Great Elder of Illusion Light Mansion and a renowned strongman in the Central Region, appear so serious and complex, the contents inside must be extraordinary.
The Great Elder shook his head, "Xinyue, you don’t know."
"The Illusion Light Cave Mansion, no one dares to enter, nor can they..."
The Great Elder’s words were left unsaid.
"Alas, forget it." The Great Elder shook his head, "Heaven does not assist me, what can I do?"
"Guu Lianxing’s life has been extended by a few years, the variables have arisen."
Upon hearing this, Guu Xinyue’s eyes turned cold, "It’s all Xiao Yi’s fault for ruining our major plans."
"Two months ago in the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land, he insulted and bullied me, I wish I could grind him to dust."
"Grind him to dust? Ha." The Great Elder smiled helplessly.
"This child has already formed a climate, who can deal with him?"
"Earlier, scouts outside the mansion reported that he returned with Guu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu."
"I immediately gathered the elders, planning to timely eliminate this child."
"Unexpectedly, this child was unharmed under my oppressive momentum, even under my full power, not moving an inch."
The Great Elder shook his head, his face dark with hatred, "It seems the rumors from a few days ago were true."
"The group of assassins from Heavenly Nether Mansion vanished without a trace while chasing him."
"I’m afraid these fellows are already cold corpses, no, they should say their bones are long gone; otherwise, the experts of Heavenly Nether Mansion wouldn’t have failed to find even their bodies afterward."
"What?" Guu Xinyue’s face changed.
"The price I paid to invite even the legendary assassin of Heavenly Nether Mansion’s Great Elder was hefty."
"With him leading, and a team of Gold Medal Killers, they all died cleanly?"
"Wouldn’t that mean..."
"Indeed." The Great Elder nodded, "If each major Heavenly Talent, after the second Martial Soul Awakening, rises to join the ranks of Central Region’s strongmen."
"Then, this little thief, relying on his own strength without backing from any faction, has already reached above the peak strongmen of the Central Region."
"In the Central Region, he is already a force to be reckoned with, except for Great Power, none dare easily split hairs with him."
"This..." Guu Xinyue’s face turned pale.
She suddenly realized she had provoked a person of extreme terror.
Guu Xinyue’s pale face suddenly hardened, "Father, this infamous Xiao Yi is renowned for being ruthless."
"In time, if his wings grow stronger, and he returns seeking revenge on us, wouldn’t it be catastrophic?"
"Father, why don’t we take advantage now..."
Guu Xinyue gestured with a hand cutting motion.
"Wings growing stronger?" The Great Elder said solemnly, "Do you think his wings aren’t full enough now?"
"Even if I utilize all my forces, before him, it would be a joke."
Guu Xinyue obstinately said, "Father, we cannot, but that doesn’t mean others cannot."
"I have ways to invite other mansions to act."
"If another mansion master acts, this little thief won’t survive."
The Great Elder shook his head, "If one of the Eighteen Mansion’s masters personally acts, this little thief will undoubtedly die."
"Not only now, but even if he achieves the position of Great Power later, he won’t withstand the many masters’ three moves."
"But what can you offer to incite a mansion master?"
"Which mansion would willingly provoke such a young Killing God?"
Guu Xinyue heard, smiling proudly, "Father needn’t worry about this."
Guu Xinyue heard from the Great Elder’s words that if a mansion master acts, Xiao Yi could be killed, and immediately showed joy.
"If I can hire Heavenly Nether Mansion, I can naturally hire other mansions."
"Ha." The Great Elder sneered.
"Xinyue, you are my daughter, I understand you, but you are still too naive."
Guu Xinyue is adept at calculations, deeply scheming, yet her father, the Great Elder of Heavenly Star Mansion, is no common person.
"You could hire Heavenly Nether Mansion because they differ from the other Seventeen Mansions, they are an assassin force."
"Taking money for lives, that’s Heavenly Nether Mansion; as long as the price is right, they’ll dare to kill anyone, that’s their centuries-old foundation."
"But the most crucial reason is Hui Wushi, the former Killing God of the Central Region, once their chief instructor."
"So they aren’t afraid of chasing Xiao Yi, not afraid of Hui Wushi’s revenge."
"Even if they truly kill Xiao Yi, they’re confident Hui Wushi would spare them; they only need to deal with Cloud Abyss Sword."
"But, no other force dares so, only Heavenly Nether Mansion."
"With Heavenly Nether Mansion devastated, including the Great Elder and a group of Gold Medal Killers dead, they are not likely to take action again."
The Great Elder paused, continuing, "Yet in exchange for another faction, who dares truly to provoke both Killing Gods into regrasping their swords? Who dares be the pioneer?"
"Even Beiyin Sect withdrew their pursuit order hastily, retreating defeated."
"The bloody cleansing in Sword Domain back then shook the Central Region, making the sweeping forces dare not forget."
"With these two protecting him, Xiao Yi can safely grow."
"Father knows you’re skilled in schemes, but before absolute strength, it’s merely a joke."
At the end, the Great Elder sighed heavily.
"Heaven does not assist me, heaven does not assist me."
The Great Elder shook his head, his face already a picture of despair.
Guu Xinyue’s body slumped, nearly falling.
Just at that moment, a call sounded from outside the study, "Report."
"Come in, what’s the matter?" The Great Elder asked weakly.
A scout hurried in, respectfully handing a letter to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder casually accepted it, opened the letter, glanced at it, then widened his eyes.
Upon finishing the letter, his expression of despair instantly turned into ecstasy.
"Good, good, very good." The Great Elder said ’good’ three times.
"Hahaha, heaven doesn’t abandon me."
"Father, what’s the matter?" Guu Xinyue asked anxiously.
"Hahaha." The Great Elder’s despair vanished, replaced by ecstasy and overwhelming dominance.
"That day at Blood Light Cave Mansion, Xiao Yi fought Eight Mansion Young Masters, winning with a single sword, seemingly unrivaled, yet unknowingly digging his grave."
"The Eight Mansion Young Masters returned with losses."
"Among them, Heu Youu suffered greatly, the awakened black Martial Soul backfired, reducing cultivation by five layers, supreme talent squandered overnight."
"That old fellow from Illusion Light Mansion has gone mad now."
"We now have a pioneering bird, haha."
Inside the Great Elder Mansion, chilling laughter echoed continuously.
