Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1662: Just an Open Conspiracy
"Submit? What submission?"
Xiao Yi still sneered.
"Haha, you say that letting Yi be the successor is enough?"
"If Yi refuses, is that not possible? Must he be trapped and tortured in places like the Ten Thousand Flames Space?"
"Tsk tsk, the three hall masters, such great authority."
"You..." The Demon Hunting Hall Master frowned.
The Medicine Venerate Hall Master, his expression somewhat perplexed.
The Flame Hall Master, his face filled with even more anger, "You brat, dare to be so outrageously arrogant, watch me..."
Pah...
The Demon Hunting Hall Master grabbed the Flame Hall Master’s arm.
"Speak, boy, what do you truly want?"
The Demon Hunting Hall Master stared directly at Xiao Yi.
"Nothing much, just want to leave." Xiao Yi shrugged.
"Yi holds the position of Vice Hall Master of the Three Halls. Over the years, demon hunting and slaying evil cultivators have accrued countless achievements."
"I wonder if the three hall masters truly want to court disaster by imprisoning me."
"You think I wouldn’t dare?" The Flame Hall Master, already engulfed in flames.
"Fine, if you want to leave, it’s possible." The Demon Hunting Hall Master, with an extremely unpleasant expression, nodded solemnly.
"First, take the three Main Hall Tokens."
"We’ll discuss what’s to follow later."
"I’ve said, I’m not interested." Xiao Yi shook his head.
The Demon Hunting Hall Master, forcefully holding his unpleasant expression, "I’ll give you special privileges, you can take the tokens and temporarily dismiss the matter of the succession."
"Take the tokens, you can leave now."
"If not..."
The Demon Hunting Hall Master sneered, "If you don’t take them, I’ll punish you according to the rules of the Main Hall for disobeying orders."
"Even if you have countless achievements, if you violate hall regulations, I’ll still imprison you in the Ten Thousand Flames Space."
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
The three Main Hall Tokens floated in the air before Xiao Yi.
"Returning the tokens to this brat?" The Flame Hall Master, visibly angry.
Xiao Yi didn’t accept them, sneering, "It seems the Flame Hall Master doesn’t wish for me to have the tokens, so..."
The Demon Hunting Hall Master interrupted, "You can choose to be imprisoned now."
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, grabbed the three tokens, "I hope the Hall Master keeps his word."
As the words fell.
Xiao Yi’s Purple Flame Fire Wings flared, instantly soaring into the air.
At the original spot, the three hall masters did not obstruct him but wore differing expressions.
"Such a sharp-tongued boy." The Demon Hunting Hall Master shook his head.
"Indeed, also a cunning lad." The Medicine Venerate Hall Master chuckled.
"I see him as arrogant and conceited." The Flame Hall Master, his expression indignant.
Unexpectedly, the other two hall masters simultaneously glared at him.
"Didn’t you realize the kid deliberately provoked you to act?"
"Deliberately provoked me?" The Flame Hall Master paused, "Could it be... he was pretending..."
The Flame Hall Master suddenly realized, "Why didn’t you two stop him?"
"Stop? How?" The Demon Hunting Hall Master shook his head.
"If you hadn’t suddenly acted, how could the boy keep harping on the matter, gaining the upper hand with words."
The Flame Hall Master pouted, "Such a simple plan, blatantly transparent, and yet the kid concocted it."
The two other hall masters glared once more, "Such a simple scheme, yet it fooled you."
The Medicine Venerate Hall Master chuckled, "The kid likely knows that on our turf, no matter how he argues, he wouldn’t win against us."
"His excuses wouldn’t fool us either."
"That’s why he made a breakthrough at Elder Yan’s side, deliberately provoking Elder Yan to act, leaving us with no reason to detain him."
"Rather than calling it a conspiracy, it’s better termed an overt scheme, and we had no choice but to fall into his design."
"Damn, such a cunning kid." The Flame Hall Master, his expression increasingly indignant.
The Medicine Venerate Hall Master glanced at the Flame Hall Master.
"Previously you were hesitating, unsure whether to settle on this lad as the successor."
"Now it’s good, the person has directly fled."
The Demon Hunting Hall Master sighed with a bitter smile, "Now, it’s not about whether we three want to appoint him as the successor."
"But whether this kid is willing to take on the position of the Three Hall Masters."
"However, it’s good that he left." Demon Hunting Hall Master laughed again.
"It just allowed us to see clearly his nature, which is indeed excellent."
"Even the position of the Three Hall Master can’t keep him."
"I’ve decided on him as my successor."
The Medicine Venerate Hall Master smiled bitterly, "The person has already left, what can you do?"
"Hahaha." The Demon Hunting Hall Master laughed triumphantly.
"So what if he left? Since he has taken the Three Hall General Order, he can’t escape from the Five Finger Mountain in my hand."
"Let him cause a bit of a stir outside, I have ways to make him obediently take the position."
...
On the other side.
Xiao Yi left the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall, flying swiftly all the way.
In less than a moment, he left the Demon Hunting Territory, his heart also relaxed a bit.
Having him take on the position of Flame Hall, Demon Hunting Hall, and Medicine Venerate Hall, the Three Hall Master, is naturally impossible.
If his identity is exposed, the Three Halls would likely be the first to not let him go.
Therefore, he could only forcefully refuse and intentionally provoke the Flame Hall Master to leave first.
In fact, he knew that his ’acting’ just now could not possibly fool the two Hall Masters of Demon Hunting Hall and Medicine Venerate Hall.
Ordinary old foxes have deep plans and extraordinary intelligence.
Not to mention the two Hall Masters?
In the eyes of the two Hall Masters, his ’acting’ was merely child’s play.
However, Xiao Yi was not worried.
Because he knew the Flame Hall Master would definitely be provoked by him.
As early as their first and second meeting, Xiao Yi saw that the Flame Hall Master was surely a person with a bad temper and extremely impulsive.
This is almost a common character trait of most Martial Artists of the Fire Dao.
So he didn’t care if the two Hall Masters saw through his clumsy ’acting’, as long as the Flame Hall Master made a move.
Rather than calling it a conspiracy, it’s more of an overt strategy.
Even if the two Hall Masters could see through his acting, the Flame Hall Master couldn’t and couldn’t resist taking action, which couldn’t be blamed on him.
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile, but that smile soon froze.
Then, with a flash of light in his hand, he took out two tokens.
One token was blue, and the other was black.
The front of the tokens was inscribed with ’Wind Shattering’ and ’Asura’.
Yes, these are the Main Hall Tokens of Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall.
At the time he got these two tokens, the Asura Hall Master and Wind Shattering Hall Master clearly told him this was only his credential for the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.
However, just now the Demon Hunting Hall Master said clearly that only successors can take the Main Hall Tokens, which is the iron rule of the Eight Palaces.
"Could it be that the two Hall Masters also want..." Xiao Yi’s face under the mask couldn’t help but twitch.
The Asura and Wind Shattering Hall Masters never mentioned anything about being a successor.
But now it seems, the implication is clear.
Xiao Yi frowned, and with another flash of light in his hand, he took out three more tokens.
These were the Three Hall Main Hall Tokens the Demon Hunting Hall Master had just given him.
Since he knew that the two Hall Masters of Demon Hunting Hall and Medicine Venerate Hall could see through his ’tricks’,
he naturally also understood why the Demon Hunting Hall Master would still hand him the tokens and the implication behind it.
To put it bluntly, the Demon Hunting Hall Master’s intention was to let him go temporarily if he took the three tokens and seriously considered this matter.
From the moment Xiao Yi took the three tokens, it essentially meant he had agreed to consider it seriously.
Therefore, the Demon Hunting Hall Master was willing to let him go.
The two never voiced their thoughts openly.
But both were smart enough to sense each other’s intentions.
But there’s one thing Xiao Yi didn’t know.
That was the fact that his indifference toward the Three Hall Master position and forceful refusal,
his understated dismissal knowing it was ’child’s play’, yet still gaining the upper hand in words and thereby leaving,
only made the three Hall Masters more fond of him and more determined to make him the successor.
Xiao Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looking at the five Main Hall Tokens in his hand, shaking his head repeatedly, "This is troublesome now."
...
Third update.
