Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1476: Do You Still Recognize This Senior Brother?
"Qi Sect’s Third Elder, quite a calculation."
Xiao Yi glanced at the Qi Sect’s Third Elder, his words full of disdain.
Qi Sect’s Third Elder, clearly thick-skinned, coldly said, "It’s merely discussing the matter at hand."
"And also." Qi Sect’s Third Elder suddenly looked towards the Artifact Sect’s seats.
"Gentlemen of the Artifact Sect, in the previous battle, Ding Qiuyue was already at a disadvantage."
"Xiao Yi meddled to help her, forcibly interfering in the contest, and now you say to battle again just like that?"
"Heh." Qi Sect’s Third Elder said coldly, "Moreover, this is a contest between our two sects, and this little thief openly disrupted it. How is this different from provoking our two sects?"
"Will your Artifact Sect just let this slide? I’m afraid your sect’s prestige will be swept away in the Sword Domain in the future."
The swordmen of the Artifact Sect immediately turned pale.
In plain terms, this was still Xiao Yi, an outsider, disrupting the contest.
If their Artifact Sect let it slide, it indeed would not be reasonable.
Xiao Yi’s face darkened at that moment.
The intent of Qi Sect’s Third Elder was actually very clear.
Do you want Qi Sect to agree to a rematch? Fine, but the Artifact Sect must punish Xiao Yi first.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense.
Xiao Yi’s position also suddenly became extremely awkward.
The surrounding major sword cultivators were not fools; they naturally understood the direction in which things were heading.
The faces of surrounding major forces, various sword cultivators, varied.
Over at the Sword Light Mansion.
Fengg Ji let out a cold laugh.
The elders of the Sword Light Mansion beside him whispered, "The great competition between the two branches is of utmost importance to both the Qi Sect and the Artifact Sect."
"Barring any unexpected circumstances, those guys from the Artifact Sect should deal with Xiao Yi to gain the opportunity for a rematch."
"This little thief, truly laughable, helped people from the Artifact Sect yet will be dealt with by the Artifact Sect."
Fengg Ji smiled, a look of smugness on his face.
On the side of the Four-direction Sword Sect, Yuee Tian’s face was full of anger.
"This group from the Qi Sect has the upper hand and is now being aggressive."
And the Independent Sword Cultivator Quu Changtian, the Snow Mountain Sword Emperor Nangong Bai, and the long-established sword cultivator Jin Wuque, at this moment, turned their eyes to the same direction.
There, it was the direction of Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon.
These established sword cultivators knew very well that the true deciders of how far the situation would go were these two, not Xiao Yi.
If these two truly stood behind Xiao Yi at all costs, the Artifact Sect and the Qi Sect would not really capture Xiao Yi.
No one was willing to offend two peak sword cultivators harshly.
But at the same time, if these two indeed stood up for Xiao Yi, who publicly disregarded the rules of the two major sects in the Sword Domain with his wild words; then, the reputation of the two peak sword cultivators would become infamous at that moment.
Accusations could include condoning Xiao Yi’s wrongdoing, or two outsiders intervening in Sword Domain’s disputes, being extremely domineering, and so on.
After a moment, Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon made no move whatsoever.
On the Martial Arts Arena, the Lin Family’s referee looked at the Qi Sect’s Third Elder, nodded, and said, "According to the rules, Xiao Yi, an outsider, disrupting the contest between the two sects on his own will interfere with our grand event in the Sword Domain and will be directly stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the Sword Domain."
"Do the two sects have any objections?"
Qi Sect’s Third Elder laughed, "Lin Family referee, truly just and formidable."
The Artifact Sect remained silent.
"No!" Ding Qiuyue was just about to speak when a mysterious aura from the Artifact Sect seats restrained her, unable to move or make a single sound.
The Lin Family referee nodded, "Good, if there are no objections, then..."
The Lin Family referee looked at Xiao Yi, "Young Xiao Yi, will you handle it yourself, or shall I do it personally?"
"Let me make it clear to you, young one, though I’m a referee, I’m also the Lin Family’s Great Elder, and you are no match for me."
"You can try." Xiao Yi coldly laughed.
He could sense that the Lin Family’s Great Elder was at least at the Martial Arts Great Power Level.
Even stronger than the Qi Sect’s Six Sword Guards.
But Xiao Yi was not afraid of him.
The atmosphere on the scene became exceedingly heavy due to Xiao Yi’s taunting words ’You can try’ and his cold laugh.
"Fine, as you wish." The Lin Family referee’s face turned cold.
Just about to make a move.
At this moment, two figures slowly stepped forward.
This simple step immediately halted the Lin Family referee’s action.
Across the whole venue, only two people had such a strong presence to instantly stop the Lin Family’s Great Elder from making a move.
It was Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon.
The surrounding sword cultivators and forces, their expressions slightly changed, shook their heads one after another.
"In the end, they couldn’t hold back." Jin Wuque sighed.
Nangong Bai shook his head, "The two once-renowned sword cultivators in the Central Region, are they going to become infamous scoundrels throughout the Central Region today?"
"These two old fellows." Fengg Ji’s face was somewhat indignant and disdainful.
"Are you two going to protect this kid?" On the Martial Arts Arena, the Lin Family’s judge looked at Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon, asking in a deep voice.
"Not at all." Elder Yun Yuan shrugged.
"Not at all?" The Lin Family judge frowned.
The surrounding sword cultivators instantly showed puzzled expressions.
Hui Deacon chuckled, "If this kid truly violated the Sword Domain rules, the two of us would be too lazy to care."
"Moreover, it is normal for the Lin Family, as the foremost family of the Sword Domain, to uphold the rules."
"However, I have a doubt."
"What doubt?" The Lin Family judge first breathed a sigh of relief, then asked.
Hui Deacon smiled, "Since when did the Lin Family head change?"
"What do you mean?" The Lin Family judge’s face changed, "The Lin Family head is as influential as ever; when did they change?"
Elder Yun Yuan smiled playfully, "If they haven’t changed, since when was it up to you, a Great Elder, to decide whether Xiao Yi violated the Sword Domain rules?"
"Haha, I almost thought your Lin Family head had departed this world, my apologies."
"You..." The Lin Family judge took a sharp breath, suppressing the anger in their heart.
"Good, what a Cloud Abyss Sword, what a Hui Wushi."
"The grand event of the Sword Domain is about to commence. Our Lin Family head and Heavenly Talents will arrive in an hour."
"Then, the head will personally determine Xiao Yi’s crime."
Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon smiled faintly.
"Xiao Yi, come down for now."
Xiao Yi nodded, the turn of events somewhat beyond his expectations.
In a flash, he returned to the side of the two.
"I say, you really have guts, kid." Elder Yun Yuan laughed, "Even in front of a Supreme Expert, you dare provoke?"
Nearby, whether it was the Qi Sect, the Artifact Sect, or the Lin Family judges, all waited.
Xiao Yi bitterly smiled, "I didn’t expect the Two Sect Competition to be so significant."
"However, even if I knew, I would still take the stage."
Xiao Yi replied, suddenly frowning, "A Supreme Expert? Senior Yun Yuan, are you referring to the Lin Family’s Great Elder?"
"Indeed." Elder Yun Yuan laughed, "A Supreme Expert is a powerhouse above the Martial Arts Great Power level."
"Your daring provocation is beyond my expectation."
"But with such confidence, it’s not bad." Hui Deacon nodded in satisfaction, "Unafraid, unyielding, this is what makes a qualified sword cultivator."
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Hui Deacon and Elder Yun Yuan seemed calm, still smiling.
But Xiao Yi glanced at the Qi Sect and Artifact Sect experts, as well as the Lin Family judges; their expressions were unfriendly.
Today, it seems a tough battle is unavoidable.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
In the distance, a group of figures came controlling the air.
"Greetings to the Family Head." The Lin Family judges quickly bowed.
"Greetings to the City Lord." The branches of the Qi Sect and Artifact Sect, except for the two Sect Masters, all rose.
The coming figure’s identity was self-evident: the head of the Sword Domain’s foremost family, the Lin Family, and also the City Lord of Ten Thousand Sword City.
Behind were the Lin Family martial artists and Heavenly Talents.
As the Lin Family crowd landed, the Lin Family judge was about to report the matter concerning Xiao Yi.
However, just at this moment, a young figure behind the Lin Family head stood out in surprise, looking at the three of Xiao Yi.
"Greetings, Young Master."
"Greetings, Young City Lord."
Similarly, except for a few individuals, most martial artists of the two sects bowed.
The young man ignored the two sect martial artists, instead directly facing Xiao Yi, eyes full of joy.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi?"
"Junior Brother Zifeng?" Xiao Yi frowned.
Hui Deacon and Elder Yun Yuan laughed, raising their voices to ask, "Zifeng, do you still recognize your Senior Brother Xiao Yi?"
...
Third update.
