Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Fengxu Refining Competition

”Sword Dao Practitioner? Such powerful Sword Qi,” Breeze City Lord steadied himself and was taken aback after landing.

”Is that... could that be a Primordial Artifact?” The elder of the Zhong Family wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes first showing shock, then a deep color of greed.

”What? A Primordial Artifact?” The eyes of the Martial Artists present all turned towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi’s expression was cold.

The sword in his hand was not the Blizzard Sword.

It was merely a low-grade sword-type Primordial Artifact.

Although the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the Cultivation Items in his Qiankun Bag and Universe Ring had been exhausted in the spatial turbulence.

Those Treasures and Primordial Artifacts had always been with him.

As for this low-grade Primordial Artifact, it was merely something he had obtained by chance in a battle in the past.

He had never used it before, but this time, it proved to be useful.

”Dare to resist? Capture this wanted criminal at once,” Zhong Lei was the first to react, looking at the sword in Xiao Yi’s hand, also filled with greed.

The strongest weapon of his Zhong Family was no more than a High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

To him, a Primordial Artifact was nothing short of legendary.

”City Lord, with a Primordial Artifact in this man’s possession, I’m afraid he will not be easy to capture. Please quickly dispatch the City Guard Army to deal with him,” suggested the Zhong Family elder at the Earth Element Peak.

Breeze City Lord furrowed his brows, clearly, dealing with Xiao Yi was not his intention.

The countenance of the Du Family Master on the side grew increasingly unsightly.

If matters were not handled well at this moment, a great battle might ensue.

It was at this moment that a cold voice arose.

”When did it become the Wind Shattering Hall’s turn to capture an Asura Hall Warrior?”

The speaker was Xiao Yi.

In his hand, unbeknownst to the others, a blood-colored Token had appeared, which he was casually playing with.

”That’s a token from Asura Hall,” Breeze City Lord recognized the Token at a glance.

Du Family Master’s face brightened with joy, ”Haha, so Xiao Yixiao is an Asura Warrior.”

”Breeze City Lord, if you wish to take Xiao Yixiao, I’m afraid you’ll need to go to an Asura Hall Branch Hall to obtain a permit.”

”Mhm,” Breeze City Lord nodded, then looked towards Zhong Lei and the others.

”Zhong Family, this City Lord is unable to assist in the capture of Xiao Yi, and I will no longer involve myself in this matter.”

With that, Breeze City Lord, accompanied by a group of City Guards, departed majestically.

Leaving behind the Zhong Family members with unsightly expressions.

”Gentlemen, do you wish to acquire the Primordial Artifact in my hand?” Xiao Yi looked at Zhong Lei and the others playfully, a flicker of murderous intent passing through his eyes.

”Let’s go,” Zhong Lei’s face changed, and he quickly retreated.

The members of the Zhong Family followed, each leaving in turn.

Xiao Yi stood in place, not pursuing, just scoffing coldly.

In the Fengxu Kingdom, the Wind Shattering Hall reigned supreme.

Yet Asura Hall still managed to establish a branch in this domain, which speaks volumes about the formidable nature of Asura Hall.

Moreover, the branches of Asura Hall are extremely rare.

The Wind Shattering Hall has a branch nearly every ten cities, roughly similar to the Demon Hunting Hall when in the Eastern Domain of the Flame Martial Kingdom.

A Wind Shattering Hall in every ten cities provides the greatest support to the Wind Masters within its domain.

As for Asura Hall, it’s rare to find even one hall in a hundred cities.

Yet even so, just one such hall can deter all major powers, becoming the ultimate backbone for all Asura Warriors.

Body Cultivation Martial Artists are touted as overwhelming all professions, not to be lightly provoked.

Xiao Yi had also sensed the strength of the Martial Artists of this power in Breeze City.

Among them, the strongest was Iron Deacon of Asura Hall.

”Ha ha, Xiao Yixiao, I had no idea you were hiding such depth,” Du Family Master said with a smile as he approached.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, putting away the low-grade Primordial Artifact in his hand.

”Hmph, you speak as if you were keeping a low profile,” Du San stared coldly at Xiao Yi.

”Zhong Lei, this trouble you’ve brought upon us has caused unnecessary trouble for our Du Family.”

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and interrupted coldly, ”I shall take my leave then.”

”Xiao Yi, hold on a moment,” the Du Family Master interjected, ”Du San spoke without thinking, please don’t take it to heart, Xiao Yi.”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, ”Du Family Master misunderstands.”

”I had already planned to leave today.”

”Oh?” The Du Family Master suddenly smiled and said, ”It’s good that Xiao Yi isn’t taking offense.”

”Family Head, this disaster is clearly caused by this kid...” Du San persisted stubbornly.

”Du San, shut your mouth.” The Du Family Master scolded before saying in a solemn tone, ”This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yi.”

Having said that, the Du Family Master fell silent for a moment.

After a while, he continued, ”Zhong Lei has come for the Fengxu Alchemy Competition.”

”Fengxu Alchemy Competition?” Du San asked in confusion, ”Family Head, why haven’t I heard of it?”

The Du Family Master said gravely, ”This competition is held by our Fengxu Kingdom’s Royal Family.”

”The entire Fengxu Kingdom is abuzz, all the talented alchemists are participating.”

”The news only reached me yesterday.”

”The rewards for this alchemy competition are exceptionally rich.”

While speaking, the Du Family Master’s tone grew colder, ”Yesterday’s Breeze Pharmacist Banquet seemed to be just a gathering for the young alchemists of Breeze City.”

”In reality, the Zhong, Hu, and Zhou families had long since formed an alliance, planning to compete for higher rankings in this competition.”

”With the Zhong Family leading, the Zhou and Hu families will provide full support.”

”Yesterday, the Zhong Family Master approached me to see if I was willing to join forces, but I declined.”

”Zhong Lei’s provocation today was merely an attempt to coerce the Du Family into submission.”

Xiao Yi listened from the side and shook his head.

He had no interest in these matters.

The contentions between the four great alchemy families of Breeze City were none of his concern.

”Du Family Master, I have urgent matters to attend to, I bid you farewell.” Xiao Yi bowed his hands and turned to leave.

”Xiao Yi, wait...” the Du Family Master wanted to keep him.

Du San, on the other hand, pressed on with his questions, ”Family Head, how substantial are those rewards that they warrant the three families joining hands?”

”Very substantial,” the Du Family Master replied, ”so substantial that even I am envious.”

”Unfortunately, this competition is only open to alchemy prodigies under 35 years of age.”

”This time, the competition will be presided over by our Fengxu Kingdom’s Chief Alchemist, an Eighth-grade Alchemist, imagine the rewards he can offer.”

”Additionally, the Royal Family is also offering its full support.”

”The final rewards will be a heap of Seventh and Eighth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as a large amount of high-grade refining materials.”

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi, who had been on his way out, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Seventh and Eighth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with a large amount of high-grade refining materials?

These were precisely what he was lacking at the moment.

”Xiao Yi, please, a moment,” the Du Family Master hastened to catch up.

”What is it, Du Family Master?” Xiao Yi asked softly.

With an awkward smile, the Du Family Master said, ”I have a favor to ask of you.”

”What is it?” Xiao Yi inquired.

The Du Family Master replied, ”I wonder if you might be interested in participating in this alchemy competition?”

”My Du Family plans to send Youyou to compete.”

”If Xiao Yi is also participating, perhaps we could travel together.”

”To be honest, I would feel much more at ease if Youyou were to accompany you.”

”This...” Xiao Yi frowned slightly, showing a moment of hesitation.

”All right.” After a while, Xiao Yi nodded.

He had indeed planned to participate in the alchemy competition.
