Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1435: Nine Factions Arrive Together
Inside the Council Hall, the Heavenly Star Prefecture experts showed expressions of battle intent.
The repeated chant of ’We will obey the Master’s orders’ turned the Great Elder’s face dark, as gloomy as water.
"Hmph." The Great Elder snorted coldly.
"Since that’s the case, I have nothing left to say."
The Great Elder stood up angrily, waved his sleeve, and turned to leave the Council Hall.
Little did he know, as he turned his back to the crowd, a smug, cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
At this moment.
Boom... boom... boom...
Thunderous explosions sounded over Heavenly Star City.
The entire Heavenly Star Prefecture vibrated violently in an instant.
"Hmm?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master and the elders furrowed their brows and quickly exited the Council Hall.
Following the sound to the sky, they saw the continuous explosions above.
It seemed as if the entire sky was continuously ravaged.
In the air, invisible forces rippled fiercely.
"Such terrifying soul power." The elders’ faces changed dramatically.
"It seems the old fellow from Illusion Light Mansion couldn’t hold back."
"Hmph." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master snorted coldly.
In an instant, starlight surged throughout the sky.
The previously constantly ravaged sky was suddenly filled with starlight.
"Heu Baishan, Heavenly Star City is not a place for you to be presumptuous." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master shouted angrily, and his figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.
...
Outside the gigantic city of Heavenly Star City.
Over a hundred martial artists from Illusion Light Mansion marched imposingly.
At the forefront was an elder, whose aura was overwhelming and unfathomable.
Behind him were twelve elders who were all of Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm and above.
Nearly a hundred remaining were all cultivators of Saint Emperor Realm and above.
In other words, at this moment, over a hundred Martial Arts Emperors had gathered outside Heavenly Star City walls.
There was no doubt that Illusion Light Mansion had sent all its strongmen.
Boom... boom... boom...
The entire sky above Heavenly Star City exploded once more.
"Heavenly Star Prefecture, I give you one last half hour to consider."
"If you do not hand over Xiao Yi, this villain, within half an hour, don’t blame Illusion Light Mansion for turning Heavenly Star City into a bloodbath."
"Turning Heavenly Star City into a bloodbath... turning Heavenly Star City into a bloodbath..."
The angry and frigid declaration echoed above Heavenly Star City.
With just a few words, the elder caused continuous soul power shocks, causing the entire Heavenly Star City to tremble incessantly.
"Presumptuous."
A loud shout came from high in the sky.
The fierce shout again dispersed the overwhelming soul power.
Swoosh...
A figure suddenly appeared atop Heavenly Star City walls.
The proud figure radiated tens of thousands of stars.
It was the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
"Heavenly Star Mansion Master." The elder’s face froze.
"Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion, Heu Baishan." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s face also turned grave.
The elder was undoubtedly the old Master of Illusion Light Mansion, Heu Baishan.
"So, have you made up your mind?" Heu Baishan coldly stared at the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
"I think this question should be directed at the Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s deep voice spread beyond the city walls.
"What do you mean?" Heu Baishan’s tone gradually turned unpleasant.
"It’s simple." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master sneered, "Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion, have you decided to retreat from the Heavenly Star Territory now, or should our two mansions have a grand battle?"
Heu Baishan’s face darkened, "The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s words imply that you’re unwilling to hand over that little thief, Xiao Yi?"
"You’re unwilling to hand over that notorious brat who challenges the dignity of our Eighteen Mansions?"
"Are you willing to let that little thief ruin the countless years of friendship between our two mansions?"
Heu Baishan’s tone grew heavier and more murderous with each sentence.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master stood with hands behind his back, showing arrogance without reservation.
"I think the decision to damage our two mansions’ friendship entirely depends on the Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion."
"Today, it is your Illusion Light Mansion that has gathered strongmen in my Heavenly Star City."
"If Illusion Light Mansion retreats now, my Heavenly Star Prefecture will pretend nothing happened and let it go."
"The friendship between our two mansions will remain intact, without a trace of damage."
"Nonsense." Heu Baishan, suddenly exposed.
"That little thief hurt my grandson, Heu Youu, ruining his talent. With such a deep hatred, you expect Illusion Light Mansion to let it go?"
"Heavenly Star Mansion Master, I will only say it one last time: hand over that little thief."
"Otherwise, in half an hour, Illusion Light Mansion will turn Heavenly Star City into a bloodbath."
The cold and relentless voice was filled with endless murderous intent.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master squinted his eyes.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
Figures appeared one after another atop the city walls, standing behind the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
Clearly, these figures were elders and strongmen from Heavenly Star Prefecture.
But observing their numbers, there were merely seventy to eighty.
Compared to the over a hundred from Illusion Light Mansion, they were clearly at a major disadvantage.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master furrowed his brow.
Behind him, an elder whispered, "Master, Illusion Light Mansion must have come prepared, bringing all its strongmen."
"As for our Heavenly Star Prefecture, apart from the resident elders, many others are outside and can’t return in time."
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master nodded and looked at Heu Baishan again.
"Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion, even if Heavenly Star Prefecture is willing to hand people over, does your Illusion Light Mansion dare take them?"
A teasing voice echoed outside the city walls.
A group of martial artists from Illusion Light Mansion heard this, their faces turned cold, "Why wouldn’t we dare?"
"A trivial little thief who merely gained fame for a while dares to be so arrogant?"
"Anyone of our strongmen present from Illusion Light Mansion could kill him on the spot."
"Oh? Really?" The Heavenly Star Mansion Master looked at Heu Baishan, full of teasing intent.
"Just hand him over." Heu Baishan said in a deep voice.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master shrugged, "Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion, have you forgotten who stands behind that kid?"
"Doesn’t Illusion Light Mansion fear retaliation from those two madmen?"
"Two madmen?" Heu Baishan furrowed his brow, his face slightly changed, "Hui Wushi and Cloud Abyss Sword?"
"Those two Killing Gods?" The surrounding Illusion Light Mansion strongmen, their originally imposing aura instantly transformed into dread.
Heu Baishan furrowed his brows. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Heh." Seeing this, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master chuckled, "Old Master of Illusion Light Mansion, better lead your people away, prevent damaging the friendship between our two mansions."
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master believed that the names of those two Killing Gods were enough to deter Illusion Light Mansion’s strongmen.
Unexpectedly, a wave of cold laughter came from the air.
"Heavenly Star Mansion Master, in your view, does our Eighteen Mansions fear those two madmen?"
After saying this.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
Eight figures appeared simultaneously in the air.
"Thunder Light Mansion Master, Sword Light Mansion Master, Heavenly Slaughter Mansion Master..."
Indeed, the eight figures were all among the Eighteen Mansion Masters.
All eight mansion masters flashed and arrived beside Heu Baishan.
"Nine mansions are here, half of the Eighteen Mansions are present." Heu Baishan sneered, "Even if those two madmen come, we are not afraid."
"Heavenly Star Mansion Master, half an hour is almost up, have you made up your mind?"
...
Within the hall of Heavenly Star Prefecture.
"Shatter." A loud shout suddenly echoed.
Swoosh... A figure instantly leapt out of the Starlight Cage.
"Impressive, just as expected from the Heavenly Star Mansion Master, the Starlight Restriction you devised is so profound." Xiao Yi showed a face full of admiration.
But simultaneously, he was also filled with joy.
Though this Starlight Cage was extremely profound, he still spent three days to break through it, and now he escaped from its captivity.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi walked out of the hall, glanced at the sky, and furrowed his brows suddenly.
"Such terrifying soul power shock."
...
Third update.
