Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1459: Ding Family Patriarch

"Kid, are you going to surrender yourself, or do I have to personally capture you?"

The leading member of the Ding Family had already drawn his sword.

"Why do all of you think I am the inside man?" Xiao Yi asked calmly, without fear.

The cultivation of the Ding Family Manor’s people wasn’t high.

Generally around the Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm.

The strongest among them was merely at the Seventh or Eighth Layer of Saint King Realm.

With such strength, Xiao Yi still didn’t take them seriously.

However, since he was invited by Uncle Ding, Xiao Yi didn’t want to make a move unless necessary.

"Why?" The leading Ding Family member said coldly, "As soon as you arrived today, the martial artists from the Cold Light Mansion declared they would destroy our Ding Family Manor."

"And it just so happens that today, Qiuyue was kidnapped."

"I can’t believe there are such coincidences in this world."

"You must be the inside man from Cold Light Mansion, playing tricks behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned.

At this moment, Uncle Ding, who had been in a deep sleep, was awakened by the surrounding commotion.

Although he was drunk, a martial artist’s senses were exceptionally sharp.

By slightly mobilizing his primordial power, he could easily dispel the drunkenness.

"What is everyone doing?" Uncle Ding looked around at the family members in confusion, "Why are you all surrounding my house?"

"Also, Ding the Fourth, why have you drawn your sword?" Uncle Ding looked puzzled at the leading Ding Family member.

Clearly, the leading Ding Family member was Ding the Fourth.

"Ask this kid." Ding the Fourth looked at Xiao Yi with an unfriendly expression.

"This kid is the inside man from Cold Light Mansion and assisted those bastards from Cold Light Mansion in kidnapping Qiuyue at night."

"What? Qiuyue was abducted by Cold Light Mansion?" Uncle Ding’s expression was shocked.

"But, do you have any evidence that Xiao Yi, my little brother, is the inside man?" Uncle Ding frowned at the surrounding family members.

Ding the Fourth looked at the injured Ding Family member.

The injured Ding Family member said coldly, "I saw with my own eyes the people from Cold Light Mansion sneaking into our Ding Family Manor and taking Qiuyue away."

As he spoke, the injured Ding Family member appeared remorseful, his fists clenched tightly, "I hate that I couldn’t fight off those thieves, otherwise Qiuyue wouldn’t have been taken."

"Also." Another Ding Family member said coldly, "A few hours ago, I was just meditating on the sword and hadn’t gone to bed."

"I happened to see Qiuyue walking towards Second Uncle’s house late at night."

"I asked Qiuyue what she was doing going to Second Uncle’s house so late, she said she was looking for you, Xiao Yi."

"What was Qiuyue doing, seeking you for no reason in the dead of night? Wasn’t it because you, kid, sweet-talked and deceived her, a little girl?"

"Xiao Yi, my little brother." Uncle Ding looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Uncle Ding should know, you asked Qiuyue to guide me before, but Qiuyue suddenly ran off."

"Qiuyue just came by to guide me in sword power cultivation."

"But she left four hours ago."

"Hmm." Uncle Ding nodded.

"Brother, stop his nonsense." Ding the Fourth said coldly, "Why would Qiuyue come seeking him in the dead of night? And she was caught by the Cold Light Mansion people right after leaving?"

"Xiao Yi, my little brother, this..." Uncle Ding looked at Xiao Yi in embarrassment.

Indeed, there were many coincidences.

And that was why the Ding Family members believed Xiao Yi was the inside man from Cold Light Mansion.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me; however, since Qiuyue was taken because of me, I will go to Cold Light Mansion to rescue her."

Thinking about it, the Cold Light Mansion wasn’t a significant force.

Otherwise, a regular Saint King Realm power like Ding Family Manor wouldn’t be given a three-day deadline, but rather eradicated directly.

For such a power, rescuing someone is not difficult for Xiao Yi, so there’s no need to waste words here.

Having said that, Xiao Yi was about to leave.

However, the Ding Family members clearly showed no intention of abandoning the encirclement.

"Going to Cold Light Mansion to rescue someone? I think you’re trying to escape, kid."

"Indeed." Ding Xi sneered, "I saw with my own eyes Qiuyue running away from Second Uncle’s in panic during the night."

"You probably bullied or threatened her, kid."

"Now that Qiuyue is kidnapped, you still want to just leave?"

"I suggest." Ding Xi glanced at the surrounding family members and said loudly, "Let’s tie this kid up and send him to Cold Light Mansion in exchange."

"Right, tie him up." The surrounding Ding Family members echoed.

"I said, it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Yi’s tone gradually turned icy.

Swordmen in the Sword Domain are exceptionally sensitive, clearly noticing Xiao Yi’s cold tone.

"What? Your identity is revealed, and you still want to commit violence?" Ding Xi raised his sword.

The surrounding family members also gripped their swords tightly, ready to strike.

"I trust Xiao Yi, my little brother." At this moment, Uncle Ding said sternly.

"He’s a foreign martial artist, how could he possibly be involved with Cold Light Mansion?"

"The idea of him being the inside man is even more implausible."

"Humph." Ding Xi snorted coldly, "Second Uncle, you’re well aware of the faces of those foreign martial artists."

"Which foreign sword cultivators don’t covet the Sword Power of our Swordmen in the Sword Domain and try to learn it secretly?"

"To cultivate Sword Power and obtain scores, what wouldn’t they do?"

"Kid." Ding Xi looked coldly at Xiao Yi, "Today, Second Uncle saw you in danger in Sword Leaf Forest and unhesitatingly saved your life."

"He brought you back to Ding Family Manor to recuperate."

"Unthinkable, he brought a wolf into his house."

"Knowing this would happen, Second Uncle shouldn’t have saved you and let you die in the belly of a demon beast."

"Humph." Ding the Fourth also snorted coldly, "Such scoundrels shouldn’t have been saved."

"Bringing him back to Ding Family Manor only sullied our home."

"Stop wasting words with this kid, let’s capture him first."

Hum... Hum... Hum...

All the Ding Family members had already drawn their swords.

A white light covered the swords.

Their swords instantly shone brightly, incredibly sharp.

"None of you can stop me." Xiao Yi’s tone was already indifferent.

He didn’t even need to draw his sword; merely a stream of Sword Qi gathered at his fingertips.

A monstrous Sword Intent suddenly ravaged the skies.

The surrounding Ding Family members’ expressions changed instantly; their swords trembled incessantly.

"What terrifying Sword Intent." Ding the Fourth’s expression changed.

At that moment, from deep within the Ding Family Manor, a figure swiftly approached.

The person came at great speed, landing on the ground from afar in just a few breaths.

The coming person was an old man.

"Greetings Clan Leader." The Ding Family members repeatedly saluted.

Clearly, the old man was the Clan Leader of Ding Family Manor, the strongest there.

"Saint Emperor Realm First Layer." Xiao Yi glanced at him and immediately discerned the old man’s cultivation.

However, his expression remained indifferent, "Are you going to make a move?"

"You’ve misunderstood, young friend." The Ding Family Clan Leader quickly said, "How could someone of your strength be the inside man from Cold Light Mansion?"

Xiao Yi’s expression stayed indifferent as he asked directly, "Where is Cold Light Mansion?"

"Cold Light Mansion is the strongest power near Dingjian City." The old man said solemnly, "Their power is located several tens of thousands of miles east of our Ding Family Manor."

Xiao Yi nodded, "I’ll be back shortly."

The moment he finished speaking, his figure flickered and flew away, breaking through the sky.

...

End of the first part.
