Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1480: Still Want to Search?
For a moment, Xiao Yi became the target of everyone present.
Xiao Yi’s heart skipped a beat at first, and he narrowed his eyes.
But almost at that instant, he composed his expression.
"Boy, the Cold Flame Sword is actually on you?" The Qi Sect Master approached Xiao Yi with a frosty expression.
Beside Xiao Yi, the two elders Yun Yuan smirked coldly, taking a slow step forward.
The Qi Sect Master halted his movement towards Xiao Yi.
Lin Xiao frowned and slowly walked towards Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, is the Cold Flame Sword truly on you?"
The two elders Yun Yuan stepped back but stood with hands behind their backs, staring directly at Lin Xiao.
"Lin Family Master, are you intending to question a young lad?"
"No." Lin Xiao shook his head, "Just asking."
The two elders Yun Yuan stared at Lin Xiao, saying no more, but transmitted a message to Xiao Yi’s ears.
"Boy, is the legendary sword of the Sword Domain truly on you?"
In fact, they had already seen the Cold Flame Sword in Xiao Yi’s hand and witnessed Xiao Yi in action.
However, compared to years ago, the Cold Flame Sword’s appearance had changed greatly, making it impossible for martial artists outside the Sword Domain to identify it, though they might have some suspicions.
But within the Sword Domain, swordmen, particularly figures like the Qi Sect Six Sword Guards, could recognize it at a glance.
Xiao Yi did not respond by transmitting the message but instead directly looked at Lin Xiao.
"Lin Family Master, how do you wish me to answer?" Xiao Yi was exceptionally calm.
Lin Xiao frowned at this, "If yes, say yes; if not, say no. A simple answer will do."
"What if I say no?" Xiao Yi countered.
"You brat, still want to lie and argue?" The Qi Sect Six Sword Guards shouted angrily.
"All six of us saw it with our own eyes, the Cold Flame Sword is indeed in your hand."
"Ha." Xiao Yi chuckled, "Borrowing Senior Yun Yuan’s words, has your Qi Sect Master been replaced?"
"Or has your Qi Sect Master gone west in a crane carriage?"
"And it’s up to you six to speak?"
"You... out of line." The Qi Sect Six Sword Guards flushed red with anger but could only shout coldly.
Beside them, the Qi Sect Master already looked furious.
He, a dignified Qi Sect Master, standing here alive, yet being told he’s gone west in a crane carriage, how could he not be enraged?
"City Lord." The Qi Sect Master said coldly, "You’ve heard the Qi Sect Six Sword Guards."
"The Cold Flame Sword is in this little thief Xiao Yi’s hand."
"The sacred artifact of our Sword Domain cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders, I ask the City Lord to decide."
"Ha." Xiao Yi sneered disdainfully, "Just because they say so, it must be?"
Lin Xiao frowned and said deeply, "Xiao Yi, the Cold Flame Sword is a sacred artifact of our Sword Domain, of great importance."
"If it is truly in your hand, I hope you can honestly explain and hand it over."
"I, Lin Xiao, promise in front of all sword cultivators in the world, as long as you hand over the Cold Flame Sword, no one will dare to make things difficult for you."
"Additionally, my Lin Family will offer extra compensation."
Compensation?
In fact, for a sword cultivator, the importance of their sword is well known to all.
How could Xiao Yi possibly hand it over?
However, Xiao Yi remained unchanged in expression, "Lin Family Master, still the same words, mere rumors hold no weight. They say the Cold Flame Sword is in my hand, so it is in my hand?"
"Humph." The Qi Sect Six Sword Guards snorted coldly, "Whether true or false, a check will reveal."
"Little thief Xiao Yi, if you have the guts, draw your sword, or should you hand over your Universe Ring and let us search."
"If not, we’ll apologize to you on the spot."
"If yes, humph..." The Qi Sect Six Sword Guards snickered coldly, with murderous intent.
"Xiao Yi." Lin Xiao suddenly intensified his tone.
The eyes of all the sword cultivators and forces present turned more solemnly towards Xiao Yi.
Everyone clearly knew, if the Qi Sect Six Sword Guards weren’t utterly confident, how could they dare promise an apology in public?
"Xiao Yi, don’t force us." The voice of the Old Sect Leader of the Artifact Sect suddenly sounded.
"As for the two sword cultivators Yun Yuan and Hui Wushi." The Qi Sect Master sneered, "Our Sword Domain’s matters, you’d best not interfere."
"Otherwise, I can’t guarantee you two will leave our Sword Domain alive."
"Hehe, are you threatening me?" Hui Deacon laughed coldly.
"Think what you like." The Qi Sect Master’s tone was strong, then he looked at Lin Xiao, "City Lord, you decide."
Lin Xiao nodded, staring directly at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi remained unchanged in expression.
Lin Xiao approached step by step, "For the truth, let me inspect the Universe Ring."
Not far away, the Qi Sect Master and the Six Sword Guards wore cold smiles. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Their plan was indeed cunning.
They were sure the Cold Flame Sword was with Xiao Yi.
If Xiao Yi did not resist, once the Lin Family Master checked, he’d immediately find the sword on him.
If Xiao Yi resisted, it would show guilty conscience, confirming the sword was indeed in his possession.
At that point, he couldn’t blame the Qi Sect and another force from the Sword Domain.
The Cold Flame Sword was enough to stir all Sword Domain forces present.
The two elders Yun Yuan squinted their eyes, filled with fierce Sword Intent.
Xiao Yi glanced at the faces of the Qi Sect Six Sword Guards, immediately noticing their perfect plan and sneered.
A flash of light in his hand, a Token appeared out of nowhere.
"Asura Hall Vice Hall Master’s Token?" Lin Xiao paused.
Xiao Yi shrugged, "Lin Family Master, I hold a key position in Asura Hall, inevitably having many secrets on my person and within the Universe Ring."
"If the secrets of the Main Hall are exposed because of this, can your Lin Family bear the responsibility?"
"Or, if there’s no Cold Flame Sword, is your action considered deliberate prying into Asura Hall’s secrets?"
"This..." Lin Xiao’s expression changed.
If accused of spying on Asura Hall’s Main Hall secrets, the consequences were certainly not trivial.
"City Lord, we pledge on our lives." At this moment, the Six Sword Guards shouted fiercely.
"If the Cold Flame Sword isn’t on this boy, we’ll bear any consequences."
Lin Xiao heard this, his originally hesitant expression suddenly changed.
"Lin Family Master, you should think clearly." Xiao Yi smirked playfully.
"Will you truly risk facing universal outrage based solely on the Qi Sect Six Sword Guards’ slanderous words?"
"Slander? Ridiculous." The Qi Sect Six Sword Guards sneered, "Do we, dignified Qi Sect Six Sword Guards, need to slander a mere lad like you?"
"Enough talk, whether the Cold Flame Sword is on you, hand over the Universe Ring for us to search."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi then smirked teasingly, but shortly after, his expression turned extremely cold, and he shouted.
"Months ago, the Asura Hall Main Hall lost a treasure, I suspect it’s the work of your Sword Domain Qi Sect."
"Hand over all Universe Rings, let me search; no, I must also inspect your Qi Sect’s treasury."
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for requesting the Law Enforcement Team to come personally."
"You’re spouting nonsense." The Qi Sect Six Sword Guards’ expressions changed and were flustered, "Don’t slander like this."
"When did my Qi Sect ever steal from Asura Hall’s Main Hall?"
"You, you, you, what you’re saying is slander."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi sneered, "Do I, a dignified Asura Hall Vice Hall Master, need to slander you?"
While speaking, another Wind Shattering Hall Master Token appeared in Xiao Yi’s hand.
"Double Hall Deputy Master?" Lin Xiao’s face subtly changed.
Whoosh... whoosh...
Xiao Yi’s hand revealed token after token.
Lin Xiao’s face twitched, "Is the Vice Order of the Asura Hall Master in your possession as well?"
"Wind Shattering Hall Master’s Vice Order? Winds Shattering Hall’s representative Heavenly Talent..."
Token after token hung from Xiao Yi’s hand.
"Still want to check?" Xiao Yi asked playfully.

Fourth update.
