Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1434: The Arrival of the Illusion Light Mansion
Inside the Starlight Cage.
Xiao Yi quickly comprehended the trajectories of these starlights.
This cage was formed by starlight, arranged by the means of the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
It’s called a cage, but it is actually a prohibition.
Or rather, it is a great formation composed of starlight.
These strands of cold white starlight, through profound combinations, formed this indestructible cage.
As long as one can unravel these combinations and means, one can escape.
...
Time gradually passed.
Three days went by in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Great Elder Mansion of the Heavenly Star Mansion.
"Xinyue, well done." The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.
"With just a few words, you managed to trap Xiao Yi for a full three days."
"Dreaming of breaking the Mansion Master’s Starlight Restriction? That’s nothing but a fool’s talk."
"Haha." Guu Xinyue smiled smugly.
"That also needed the cooperation of the Mansion Master."
"If I’m not mistaken, the Mansion Master has long had intentions towards this little thief Xiao Yi."
"Hmm." The Great Elder nodded, "Who wouldn’t want to take such a supreme monster as a son-in-law like Xiao Yi."
"It’s just a pity, the Mansion Master doesn’t know that the son-in-law he’s so fond of is soon going to fall."
"Hahaha."
...
Outside the main hall of the Heavenly Star Mansion.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master suddenly appeared.
"Father."
"Uncle."
Guu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu bowed at the same time.
However, both of their expressions were clearly not good, even glaring at the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
"Lianxing, don’t look at your father like that." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master sighed.
"Do you think your father would harm you?"
"Would your father really be so unreasonable and even lose face to forcibly keep Xiao Yixiao?"
"Your father just wants to find a way out for you."
"You only have a few years left, but perhaps..."
"Father, give up." Guu Lianxing shook her head quickly.
"You have always known where your daughter’s heart lies."
"And there’s no perhaps..." Guu Lianxing’s tone suddenly became extremely complex.
"Sigh." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master sighed heavily, shaking his head.
Beside them, Gongsun Huowu clearly couldn’t understand their words, frowning.
Their words clearly carried more meaning beneath the surface.
"By the way." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master suddenly broke the silence, "Has that kid come to his senses?"
Guu Lianxing sneered, "Young Master Xiao Yi wouldn’t just succumb to this."
Gongsun Huowu spoke directly in frustration, "Uncle, stop dreaming, Xiao Yi won’t follow your wishes."
"Oh, really?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master sneered coldly.
"It seems Xinyue was right, that kid is a tough nut."
"But there’s no rush, I have all the time in the world to wait him out."
"Of course, maybe I should let him suffer a bit too."
"Father, no." Guu Lianxing’s expression changed.
"Uncle, isn’t this unreasonable enough yet?" Gongsun Huowu looked indignant.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master said nothing and just made his way to the main hall.
Just then.
A member of the Heavenly Star Mansion quickly approached.
"Master."
"What is it?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master paused, asking.
"The elders are waiting for you in the Council Hall for an urgent matter." The clan member reported quickly.
"Oh?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s brow furrowed.
The gathering of all the elders in the Council Hall is no small matter.
"Let’s go." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master nodded and turned, no longer heading to the main hall.
"All the elders are gathered in the Council Hall?" In place, Guu Lianxing also frowned.
The gathering of all the elders is already not a small matter.
Not to mention that they have to go to the Council Hall.
It’s evident that something significant has occurred.
...
Inside the Council Hall of the Heavenly Star Mansion.
The grand Council Hall was filled with the strong of the Heavenly Star Mansion.
The elders were seated on each side.
The deputy head seat, where the Great Elder sat with his eyes closed, waiting.
The head seat was empty.
Soon, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master arrived and went straight to the head seat to sit down.
"What’s happened?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master asked in a deep voice as soon as he sat down.
To be the master of a mansion is not a trivial position.
He knew as soon as the clan member reported to him that something significant had happened, which is why he rushed to the Council Hall.
"Reporting to the Master." An elder stood up, respectfully handing over two dossiers.
"These are the intelligence reports just sent back by the spies within the mansion, and the other is a dossier sent by the Blood Light Mansion."
"Blood Light Mansion?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s face turned grim, a heavy expression surfacing on his brow.
He could already guess what it was about.
Sure enough, after reading the two dossiers, his face turned grim.
"Illusion Light Mansion wants my Heavenly Star Mansion to hand over someone?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master sneered, "Hah, what a joke."
The dossier contained a personal letter from the Illusion Light Mansion Master, ordering the Heavenly Star Mansion to hand over Xiao Yi.
The reason, of course, was the incident of Heu Youu’s talent being crippled.
After the battle at Blood Light Mansion, Xiao Yi’s victory over the Eight Mansion’s Talents had already spread far and wide.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master, naturally, had long been aware of this matter.
"Master, this matter still needs careful deliberation." An elder said gravely.
"Heu Youu is one of the greatest monsters in the history of the Illusion Light Mansion."
"The Old Mansion Master of the Illusion Light Mansion had long intended to pass the mantle to him."
"Now that his talent is crippled, that old guy has gone mad and has mobilized the entire mansion, gathering outside our Heavenly Star City."
"If we don’t hand over Xiao Yi, the consequences could be unpredictable."
Indeed, the first dossier was a letter from the Illusion Light Mansion’s Old Mansion Master, demanding that the Heavenly Star Mansion surrender Xiao Yi.
The second dossier was a report from the spies, stating that the Illusion Light Mansion had gathered outside Heavenly Star City.
Heavenly Star City is the largest city in the Heavenly Star Territory, and also the location of the Heavenly Star Mansion.
The Heavenly Star Mansion has been rooted here, inheriting countless ages.
This move from the Illusion Light Mansion indicates their determined stance to kill Xiao Yi.
This is the reason why all the elders were gathered in the Council Hall at this moment.
At this time, upon hearing this, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master laughed disdainfully, "Unpredictable consequences?"
"Is my Heavenly Star Mansion afraid of their Illusion Light Mansion?"
"Master, it’s not a matter of fear." The elder said gravely.
"But would we go to war with the Illusion Light Mansion for an outsider like Xiao Yi?"
The Great Elder stated directly, "For someone as trivial as Xiao Yi, is it worth such a heavy price for our Heavenly Star Mansion?"
"What do you mean it’s not worth it?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master said in a deep voice, "Heu Youu’s talent was crippled because he was inferior."
"Moreover, I have already prepared to announce to the Eighteen Mansions Territory to marry Lianxing to Xiao Yi, accepting Xiao Yi as my son-in-law."
"Which means, Xiao Yi is no longer an outsider."
"What, do they think just because someone from our Heavenly Star Mansion crippled someone from their Illusion Light Mansion, their mansion can tell us to hand over someone and we’ll just do it?"
"Hmph, if the Illusion Light Mansion wants war, then let them have it."
"Xiao Yi is just an outsider." The Great Elder said in an unhappy tone.
"If the master acts so wilfully and our Heavenly Star Mansion suffers heavy losses, what then?"
"I propose we immediately hand over Xiao Yi to calm the Illusion Light Mansion’s fury."
"Seconded, seconded..." One by one, the elders began to second the proposal.
"Nonsense." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master slammed the table as he rose, "I said, Xiao Yi is no longer an outsider, he’s one of us."
"According to the Great Elder’s words, if it were Lianxing who crippled Heu Youu today, and the Illusion Light Mansion’s forces assembled, would we hand over Lianxing?"
"The Illusion Light Mansion’s actions are no different from insulting my Heavenly Star Mansion."
"Anyone who dares to insult my Heavenly Star Mansion, it shall be a fight to the death." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master said coldly, standing with his hands behind his back.
"We follow the Mansion Master’s orders." One by one, the elders also stood up.
In just a moment, more than half of the elders expressed their agreement.
In merely a few seconds, nearly ninety percent of the elders showed battle intentions, "We follow the Mansion Master’s orders, those who insult my Heavenly Star Mansion, it shall be a fight to the death."
The uniform voices echoed throughout the Council Hall.
The prestige of the Heavenly Star Mansion Master was clearly evident.
...
The second Chapter.
