Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1941: Chapter 1941: Xiao Xun’s Actions

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master withdrew his gaze.

The other Masters of the Main Hall mostly just looked a bit indignant and puzzled, but clearly weren’t too anxious.

The Asura Hall Master took out a dossier, glanced through it a few times.

His voice was old, yet deep and powerful, and slowly rang out.

”Among the Eighteen Cave Mansions, the weakest is the Five Heavens Cave Mansion that can’t be passed.”

”With strength above thirty thousand Dao, one can force a way through.”

”For a force that can field a Martial Artist with strength above thirty thousand Dao, they’re almost all powers in the Central Region that can step onto the stage.”

”And in the Central Region, any power that can step onto the stage has all endured long enough years of inheritance, and knows the situation of the Eighteen Cave Mansions. They absolutely wouldn’t come meddle with the Prohibitions of the Eighteen Cave Mansions.”

”Indeed.” The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master picked up the words, ”Within the Eighteen Cave Mansions, only the Martial Arts Relics count as Treasures, but they’re like chicken ribs—though strong, even if you take them you can’t use them.”

”No one would come do such a thankless and strenuous thing.”

”Therefore.” The Asura Hall Master said in a deep voice, ”the only ones who would come touch the Prohibitions of the Eighteen Mansions can only be those hotheads who don’t know the situation.”

”And the greatest possibility is some young Heavenly Talent with heaven-reaching methods, a Monster so terrifying it’s frightening.”

”Of course.” As the Asura Hall Master spoke, his gaze also swept over the three Seniors Luoo.

”An even greater possibility is certain people who simply don’t care about upheavals in the Central Region, who only seek to vent their own anger, yet are thoroughly familiar with the Eighteen Cave Mansions, and casually used the Prohibitions of these Eighteen Cave Mansions as a test, giving them to their own Heavenly Talent.”

The Asura Hall Master truly deserved to be the most brilliant in foresight and calculation among the eight Masters of the Main Hall.

He actually guessed the matter step by step with ease.

He even directly concluded that the one who broke these Cave Mansions was just a young Monster.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master’s gaze also once more fell on the three Seniors Luoo.

”The Five Heavens Cave Mansion isn’t worth mentioning.”

”The Great Formation within the Six-star Cave Mansion, the Evil Spirits and obstructions within the Six Light Cave Mansion, those are the real troubles.”

”For a mere young Monster to possess such methods, that Xiao Xun of yours truly isn’t an ordinary person; no wonder he could make you three, who have always been indifferent to everything, rush over so quickly.”

In fact, when the Asura Hall Master had spoken up to this point, everyone already knew that the terrifyingly monstrous young Heavenly Talent he was referring to was the Black Mage Xiao Xun.

And the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master had spoken bluntly.

”Perhaps it isn’t him.” The Asura Hall Master smiled playfully.

”According to the Wind Shattering Hall’s intelligence, these past days, aside from that Xiao Xun moving about in the Eighteen Mansions Territory—”

”There is another Monster, that girl from the Dongfang Family.”

”But she doesn’t have that ability.” The Wind Shattering Palace Master smiled and cut in.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s gaze likewise fell on the three Seniors Luoo. ”To break through all Six Star Six Light proves that this person is well versed in the Formation Dao and Soul Dao. His strength may not necessarily surpass that of some old fellows.”

”But his capabilities are indeed not small.”

”Of course, the fact that he could make you three rush over in haste also shows that this Xiao Xun obviously far exceeded your expectations in brilliance.”

Though the Wind Shattering Palace Master was smiling, his tone carried mockery, and also a trace of hope.

At this moment, the fierce gazes of the five Masters of the Main Hall all fell upon the three Seniors Luoo.

No movement could be seen from any of the eight.

Yet the surrounding aura became inexplicably heavy.

Under this vague aura, the entire Blood Light Dangerous Land seemed like a lone boat on a vast ocean, tottering on the brink of collapse, unable to withstand even a single blow.

The angry voice of the Flame Hall Master was the first to ring out.

”Luoo, you people clearly know that the Prohibitions of the Eighteen Cave Mansions cannot be allowed to fail, yet you still dare to use them as a test for your own Heavenly Talent?”

”If anything goes wrong, can you three shoulder the consequences?”

Senior Luoo’s expression remained indifferent. ”What? You Five Halls, always mouthing off about the myriad beings under heaven, always prattling about iron rules and regulations.”

”Now you’ve learned to sling such slander and defamation as well?”

”Hmph.” The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master let out a cold laugh. ”If you have evidence, then bring it out.”

”If you don’t, and you just simply want a fight, we will accompany you.”

”You want war? Heh.” The Flame Hall Master’s face turned cold.

”New grudges and old hatreds, settling them today isn’t a bad idea.” The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s expression was also icy, but the chill in his eyes almost surpassed that of anyone present.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master frowned and glanced at the Wind Shattering Palace Master.

He knew that the Wind Shattering Palace Master was seething and cold for the sake of that successor of the Wind Shattering Hall.

The Asura Hall Master’s gaze was likewise icy cold, but he clearly suppressed it.

”Forget it.” The Asura Hall Master shook his head. ”Whether the breaking of the Eighteen Cave Mansions was done by that Black Mage Xiao Xun or not—”

”That isn’t what we should be doing right now.”

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master nodded solemnly. ”If it truly was him, then it seems that the successors of the three alliances under our Eight Palaces for the next generation have already been set.”

The two words ”already been set” were spoken by the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master with great certainty, yet carried a trace of complexity.

”We are not so petty as to haggle with a young Monster, much less when he is this outstanding; that is a good thing.”

”Let’s first repair the Prohibitions of those fifteen Cave Mansions that were broken.”

After the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze.

The Asura Hall Master also withdrew his gaze.

The five fierce gazes were thus all withdrawn one by one.

The Soul Hall Master, who had been silent all along, nodded. ”Fifteen Cave Mansions were broken, and the Prohibition of one Cave Mansion was weakened. That happens to make sixteen.”

”Our Eight Palaces will each repair two. How about that?”

Everyone nodded.

Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...

The three Seniors Luoo were the first to flash away.

Remaining in place, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master cast a complicated look toward the Asura Hall Master.

”Now, the successors of our respective alliances’ next generation have all been decided.”

”You Asura and Wind Shattering Two Halls originally already had your own chosen ones, but since that Sword Dao Monster has now fallen, you might as well search for another...”

”No need.” The Asura Hall Master shook his head.

”No need?” The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master furrowed his brow. ”If someday your Two Halls are like a group of dragons without a leader, the consequences...”

”Then you needn’t worry yourself about it.” The Asura Hall Master’s voice was like Cold Frost.

”We believe that kid isn’t dead yet.”

The Wind Shattering Palace Master said in a cold voice, ”That kid’s elders said that he would never let anyone down, that he would definitely come back.”

As his words fell, the two of them flashed away.

In place, only the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, the Flame Hall Master, and the Medicine Venerate Master remained.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master’s brows knit tightly together.

The other two shook their heads. ”Those two old fellows must have taken quite the blow.”

”That Sword Dao Monster’s death has long since been a fact, yet they still refuse to believe it.”

”Alas.” The two of them let out a sigh.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master shook his head. ”If someone else said that the kid Yi Xiao was dead, would you be willing to believe it?”

”Naturally we wouldn’t.” The two of them smiled. ”That kid Yi Xiao is a bit stubborn-tempered, sure, but with that skill of his, no matter how many nine-deaths-and-one-life situations he faces, he will definitely turn death into life.”

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master nodded. ”As fellow twins, that Sword Dao Monster is no worse than our own.”

”Perhaps, there really might be a miracle or an unexpected turn.”

...

At the same time, far away within the Illusion Light Dangerous Land, Xiao Yi still did not know that his wild rampage had directly stirred the Eight Palace Masters to gather.

At this moment he was sitting right outside the range where the Illusion Light Cave Mansion would emerge, seated cross-legged, eyes closed in cultivation.

He was merely waiting for the next full moon night to appear, when the Cave Mansion would emerge.

...
