Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1995: Chapter 1995: Lost Heart, Wuxin

”Sword Dao, Formation Dao, Medicine Dao, Body Dao, ordinary Martial Arts... all-encompassing, proficient in all.” Shen Xinghe said solemnly.

Shen Xinghe gives off the impression of a refined scholar.

However, when discussing these matters, his face is full of excitement.

”So powerful?” Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.

”Naturally.” Shen Xinghe nodded, ”The Heartless Inn Master, mysterious and unfathomable.”

”No one knows how long he has lived, nor does anyone know where he comes from.”

”All that is known is that Guisha City has existed for more than several million years.”

”Where there is Guisha City, there is Leisure Village; when there is Leisure Village, there is the Heartless Inn Master.”

”Anyone who has sought an audience with the Heartless Inn Master, regardless of strength, even those legends among legends, will inevitably gain something.”

”The Martial Arts Dao road is enlightening, advancing by leaps and bounds.”

In the distance, Liuo Da and Zhang Yang also hurried over, saying, ”The greatest purpose for us becoming Ghost Hunters is to seek instruction from the Heartless Inn Master.”

”We hope that one day, we can personally slay the evil heavenly bandits.”

Xiao Yi glanced at the two, his tone still indifferent, ”If you are only seeking revenge, how could you also, like Evil Cultivators, do things that cause people to resent and anger Heaven, leading to your downfall on the Eight Palace wanted list.”

These two, to be on the Eight Palace wanted list, moreover as legendary fugitives, their hands are certainly stained with blood, having slaughtered countless lives, they are definitely not good people.

”Humph.” The two snorted coldly at his words, their expressions suddenly turning cold.

”Why are only we being slaughtered? Our families and friends are all dead, the entire region wiped out.”

”We will let other regions experience this taste.”

”As for the Eight Palaces, the former Eight Palaces were naturally revered by everyone; but the current Eight Palaces, the Eight Palaces over these tens of thousands, millions of years, are they worth anything?”

”When our region was slaughtered by Evil Cultivators, where were the Eight Palaces? Where were the Eight Palace Martial Artists, who are revered by everyone and defend the safety of the continent?”

”Since the Eight Palaces are useless, we will come to Guisha City.”

”As long as we can gain strength, what does it matter if the task angers both Heaven and people? What does it matter if we slaughter lives?”

”What does it matter if the Eight Palaces pursue us?”

As they said these words, their faces were twisted, extremely cold.

”If even my closest blood feud cannot be avenged, what use do I have for this heart?”

”Even if I throw away this heart and become an Evil Ghost, I would still avenge this deep blood feud.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

These two, being legends, ought to have a mental state as firm as a rock.

At this moment, however, their faces are twisted, their mental states distorted.

It’s not hard to imagine that the hatred in their hearts was indeed once deep as the ocean.

Xiao Yi shook his head, giving them little concern, and then departed.

Shen Xinghe caught up, saying, ”Is Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun not here to seek the Heartless Inn Master’s advice?”

”No.” Xiao Yi shook his head.

He couldn’t deny that the Heartless Inn Master was extremely strong, even terrifyingly so.

In Shen Xinghe’s account, this person mastered countless Martial Arts, possessing the ability to reach the heavens and pierce the earth.

Yet from what Xiao Yi had seen in recent days, this person seemed plain as water, as if reverted to simplicity, existing alone in the world.

But this person gave Xiao Yi a feeling of ultimate indifference amidst plainness.

Xiao Yi didn’t know how to describe this feeling.

In short, Leisure Village appears tranquil and peaceful.

But in reality, this is just an aura forcibly imposed here by the Heartless Inn Master.

This artificially imposed harmony and tranquility is actually quite uncomfortable.

Take the ’villagers’ there, for example.

Undoubtedly, they are fierce, ruthless Ghost Hunters within Guisha City.

They come here with different purposes.

And Leisure Village here can indeed be a great place for them to calm their minds and nourish their mental states.

Allowing them to ’cleanse’ their killing intent and pursue Martial Arts with a more tranquil mental state.

However, this imposed ’peaceful tranquility’ is actually a form of expulsion from their true inner selves.

Simply put, these Ghost Hunters are clearly all vicious and cruel.

Yet here, they cannot help but violate their ’true selves’, forcing themselves to be calm and peaceful.

In fact, it does have its benefits.

The Heartless Inn Master has his own intentions.

However, Xiao Yi does not welcome these methods.

If one cannot even protect their true self, and even for external affairs, one is willing to throw away their heart.

Eventually, their heart will be completely forgotten by themselves one day.

This heart will truly be lost forever.

Freedom City, Leisure Village.

First attain freedom, then become leisurely, finally enter Guisha, deemed as Heartless.

Xiao Yi’s silhouette has already departed.

Leaving Leisure Village, dozens of miles away lies Guisha City.

In a few breaths, Xiao Yi arrived at the city gate, re-entering Guisha City.

”Hmm?” As Xiao Yi just entered Guisha City, he suddenly paused.

Compared to his previous visits where slaughter was everywhere.

Today, at a glance, in the scope of his perception, there was no more conflict.

Beside him, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

It was the elder guarding the city gate.

”Black Robe Xiao Xun.”

”On Guisha Festival day, and in the half month preceding it, Ghost Hunters are prohibited from mutual slaughter.”

”Though you are infamous, I’d advise you not to casually break the rules of Guisha City.”

As the words fell, the elder disappeared again.

It seems the name Xiao Xun is now notoriously infamous, known for his crazed actions, hence the elder specifically came out to remind him.

Xiao Yi’s silhouette flashed, heading directly to the Guisha City Lord Mansion.

He originally planned to come here to finalize tasks, but at the moment, there’s a crowd all around.

Today, being Guisha Festival Day, it’s natural that Ghost Hunters from all directions gather together.

As Xiao Yi lands, he initially frowns.

But suddenly, all eyes around him turn to him.

One by one, the Ghost Hunters voluntarily open up a path amid the crowded area.

”It’s Xiao Xun.”

”Black Robe Xiao Xun.”

”The one who killed the elder Tian Xie and the Heavenly Talents from the three halls of Heavenly Mechanism Hall.”

All around, discussions continue endlessly.

Yet it’s obvious in many eyes; besides showing cruelty, there’s also a hint of gratitude.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Shen Xinghe and the other three also descended at this time, arriving beside Xiao Yi.

”Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, your prestige in Guisha City now is perhaps unmatched, except by the Guisha City Lord himself.” Shen Xinghe said with a smile.

Xiao Yi frowns slightly.

He merely killed an elder Tian Xie, is that reason enough for his sudden rise in fame?

Xiao Yi shook his head, not paying much attention, since a path was cleared, he might as well go to the Task Department to finalize the task.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xinghe pulled him over.

”Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, are you planning to finalize a task?”

Xiao Yi nodded.

”Absolutely not.” Shen Xinghe’s expression was somewhat strange, saying, ”Guisha Festival Day is the day the Guisha City Lord comes out.”

”Before this, any Ghost Hunter is prohibited from stepping even a foot into the Guisha City Lord Mansion.”

”Completion of tasks will be handled later by City Lord Mansion’s Martial Artists, Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun should wait for a while.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Yi nodded.

Half a day later.

From the Guisha City Lord Mansion, an elder stepped out quickly.

”The Guisha City Lord has issued an order; this year he will not come out, and the Guisha Festival Day has thus ended.”

”The Ghost Hunting King competition starts immediately.”

With these words, the surroundings boiled instantly.

”How can this be, the Guisha Festival Day is the biggest event in Guisha City every year, never interrupted.”

”This time it just ended directly?”

”Is the Guisha City Lord not coming out this year?”

All around, discussions continued without cease, exclaims of surprise abound.
