Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1563: Meeting an Old Acquaintance
Although most of the evil cultivators present turned to ashes under the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.
Their Martial Soul Power would not dissipate just like that.
The Martial Soul is formed by the Heaven and Earth rules after the awakening of a Martial Artist, accompanying them throughout life.
Even if the Martial Artist dies, it still exists for a period of time.
Normally, the stronger the Martial Artist was in life, the longer the Martial Soul Power lingers.
However, if the physical body is gone, the Martial Soul Power dissipates faster.
Whoosh...
After everything was done, Xiao Yi retracted the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes, then waved his large hand to collect all the Universe Rings left behind.
Inside them, there were similarly no documents or intelligence.
There were only some Demon Beast Essence Blood and things belonging to evil cultivators, such as those Evil Formation Plates.
"Sigh." Xiao Yi sighed.
The entire Evil Cultivation Branch had now become ruins, and there was no point in staying here.
Before leaving, Xiao Yi looked at the altar, releasing a Purple Flame.
The overwhelming Purple Flame burned the entire formation into nothingness within moments.
The fire couldn’t harm this formation before because it was protected by Formation Power.
Once the Formation Power was exhausted, this Formation Base naturally couldn’t withstand the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.
Xiao Yi had to destroy this foundation stone.
Otherwise, the Evil Lord Mansion could easily rebuild a branch here.
After finishing everything, Xiao Yi conjured the Purple Flame Fire Wings and flew away, controlling the air.
...
More than half a month later.
Xiao Yi descended in a Demon Beast Forest.
It had been more than half a month since he destroyed the Evil Cultivation Branch at the Three Wind Hazardous Land.
He had long since left the Three Wind Region.
During this half a month, he had been training or slaying demon beasts.
Since he couldn’t get any intelligence from the Three Wind Branch, he naturally had no leads on other evil cultivation branches.
Evil cultivators have always been elusive, and it is indeed difficult to find them under normal circumstances.
Even the Ancient Eight Halls cannot easily track their whereabouts, so Xiao Yi on his own naturally found it even harder.
Naturally, during this half a month, he could only engage in normal training.
Occasionally, he did encounter a few stray evil cultivators.
However, none of these evil cultivators had information or intelligence about their branches.
The caution of these evil cultivators is evident.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to kill any he encountered, with no other options.
Currently, he had just coincidentally stopped in this Demon Beast Forest.
While he was here, he completed some tasks for the Demon Hunting Hall, killing some demon beasts.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed through the Demon Beast Forest.
Along the way, flames followed, easily slaying vicious demon beasts.
After ten minutes, Xiao Yi halted his movement.
This area was close to the depths of the Demon Beast Forest.
After venturing into the depths once, he would leave.
After all, the depths of the Demon Beast Forest are where the powerful demon beasts are gathered.
So, training in the depths is sufficient; there’s no need to traverse the entire forest.
But at this moment, from the depths of the forest, strands of sinister black aura shot into the sky.
"Hmm? Such sinister power." Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
"It’s evil cultivators."
After sensing the power clearly, Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold.
This power was identical to that of the Evil Formation Plates, indicating that evil cultivators must be present.
Moreover, the presence of such astonishing evil power suggested there were quite a few of them.
It might even be a team from a specific branch of evil cultivators.
"Hmph, after more than half a month, you’ve finally shown yourselves." Xiao Yi sneered coldly.
His figure flickered, heading straight for the depths.
Half a minute later.
Xiao Yi halted his movement.
Sure enough, ahead, dozens of evil cultivators were gathered, each holding an Evil Formation Plate.
In the center of the gathered evil cultivators, a figure in red was surrounded.
Xiao Yi glanced over and furrowed his brows.
That red figure seemed somewhat familiar to him.
Once he saw the face clearly, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but helplessly slap his forehead.
In front, among the dozens of evil cultivators, an old man leading them sneered sinisterly.
"Hehehe, Gongsun Huowu, last time you escaped, but this time, you have no chance."
Indeed, that figure in red was none other than Gongsun Huowu, that girl.
"Hmph." Gongsun Huowu snorted coldly, "A bunch of foul evil cultivators, were you not afraid last time when I killed some of you?"
The leading evil cultivator spoke coldly, "A mere brat, last time you only killed a few from a small branch, and you act so cocky?"
"Hmph."
The leading evil cultivator snorted coldly.
His mere aura forced Gongsun Huowu to take two steps back, her face flushing red.
"Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm?" Gongsun Huowu’s expression changed.
"If I lose even a single hair today, your Evil Lord Mansion can expect retaliation from my Heavenly Rope Prefecture."
"Retaliation?" The leading evil cultivator sneered disdainfully, "Do you think this is your Eighteen Mansions Territory?"
"In this Demon Beast Forest, even if we kill you, the Heavenly Rope Prefecture would never find out."
"Enough nonsense." The leading evil cultivator grew impatient, "One sentence, either submit and join our Evil Lord Mansion."
"Or die."
Gongsun Huowu laughed coldly, "Join you filthy evil cultivators who can only hide in the shadows and never dare to be seen in the open? Ridiculous."
"Then die." The leading evil cultivator wasted no more words, attacking instantly.
"Do you think I fear you?" Gongsun Huowu, wielding a long whip, struck out instantly as well.
As the Young Master of the Heavenly Rope Prefecture, her strength was quite impressive.
However, her cultivation was evidently not as strong as the leading evil cultivator, and she immediately fell into a disadvantage.
In the shadows behind, Xiao Yi observed, furrowing his brows.
This group of evil cultivators, though numerous, were not particularly strong.
The leading evil cultivator was merely at the Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm.
Normally, this level of strength is nothing in the eyes of the grown Central Region Heavenly Talents.
Take, for instance, Zhuo Wanzong encountered in the Sword Domain, or other talents of the Eighteen Mansions, which one of them isn’t at the Late Stage Saint Emperor Realm, with strength at the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm?
Zifeng, Ye Liu, and others are even more formidable, their cultivation directly at the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm, approaching the strength of a Martial Arts Great Power.
Of course, they all experienced a second Martial Soul awakening, hence their rapid increase in cultivation.
But Gongsun Huowu, at this moment, seemed yet to undergo a second Martial Soul awakening, so her cultivation remains at the Saint King Realm level.
Naturally, she was no match for these evil cultivators.
"What has this girl been doing for such a long time? Hasn’t she undergone the second Martial Soul awakening yet?" Xiao Yi glanced and shook his head.
At this moment.
The leading evil cultivator struck out with a palm, shattering Gongsun Huowu’s long whip into pieces.
The leading evil cultivator seized the opportunity, his hand forming a claw, releasing sinister black aura.
Gongsun Huowu couldn’t resist, not only being forced back several steps but even having her clothes torn.
Her attire was already scant, and now it directly exposed a large expanse of skin.
Moreover, the sinister black aura clung to her like maggots on bones, rapidly corroding her clothes.
Almost instantly, Gongsun Huowu was left with nothing on.
The leading evil cultivator, along with the surrounding evil cultivators, immediately showed lustful expressions.
It wasn’t a cold killing intent, but an unsettling gaze.
"Hehehe, tasting the body of a noble Young Master of the Heavenly Rope Prefecture, we could die without regret."
"Since we’re going to kill you, why not let us enjoy a round first..."
"You..." Gongsun Huowu’s expression changed drastically, filled with anger and shock, yet she could only try to shield herself with her arms, covering her exposed body.
Whoosh...
At this time, several Fire Blades struck through the air.
A figure appeared instantly.
...
Second update.
