Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2006: Chapter 2006: Are Twin Martial Souls Really That Impressive?

The conversation with Shen Xinghe concluded as they walked and talked.

Leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, they arrived at the outskirts of the Task Department.

Xiao Yi was about to leave, but saw the Ghost Hunter Emperor incessantly cursing at the task platform.

”Why have all of Xiao Xun’s tasks been restored?” the Ghost Hunter Emperor questioned the task platform staff.

”Fools.” Lingg Hong and Heu Youu shouted, ”How dare you defy the Ghost Hunter Emperor’s command? Are you looking for death?”

The staff at the task platform looked troubled and distressed.

At that moment, an old man who seemed to be the Butler of the City Lord’s Mansion appeared out of thin air.

With indifferent eyes, he stared straight at the Ghost Hunter Emperor.

The Ghost Hunter Emperor, unafraid, directly said coldly, ”Not only have all that kid’s tasks been restored, but he has also been promoted to a five-star Ghost Hunter?”

”I am not convinced, I want to see the City Lord.”

The old man said indifferently, ”This is the will of the Heartless Inn Master.”

”Heartless Inn Master?” The Ghost Hunter Emperor shivered, abruptly stopping his curses.

Xiao Yi glanced at the three of them, frowned, but didn’t pay much attention, and left.

”Cold Evil Sect, Ghost Hunter Emperor.” Xiao Yi squinted, his heart filled with suspicion.

In fact, when he learned that Lingg Hong and Heu Youu were also from the Cold Evil Sect,

He suspected that the Cold Evil Sect must be connected with Shui Ninghan.

He had read Fang Shushu’s Martial Soul Book.

Whatever Fang Shushu knew about the Cold Evil Sect, he also knew.

From his current understanding of the Cold Evil Sect, their conduct was almost identical to Shui Ninghan’s.

First there were those from the Evil Lord Mansion working, then several Mansion Masters of the Eighteen Mansions obeyed her.

Now, the power even infiltrated Guisha City, with the strongest Ghost Hunter force, the Cold Evil Sect, present in Guisha City.

The name Shui Ninghan suddenly sent a chill down Xiao Yi’s spine.

This daughter of a Heavenly Talent, who seemed innocent and always wore a calm smile, was even more unfathomable than he imagined.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

He still needed to focus on the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.

Obtaining the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit and restoring his body was the most important thing.

Other matters, he could only set aside for now.

For Heu Youu and Lingg Hong, he would also leave them be for the time being.

But if they continued to provoke him, he wouldn’t mind settling both old and new scores clearly.

After thinking this through, Xiao Yi left.

He hadn’t walked far.

Whoosh... A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The figure was clad in a wide robe.

”Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun.” The figure bowed.

Xiao Yi nodded, knowing this was a scout from the Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

”What is it?” Xiao Yi asked.

The figure quickly said, ”The Main Hall Master summons urgently.”

”Oh?” Xiao Yi showed slight puzzlement.

The figure flashed and went towards the Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall.

This was the Free Region, naturally, it also had the Main Hall of the Eight Palaces.

And Guisha City, being the central city of the Free Region, was where the Main Hall was located.

Arriving at the Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall.

Just reaching the back hall, Xiao Yi saw the Main Hall Master waiting with a beaming face.

”Does the Main Hall Master have something for me?” Xiao Yi asked directly.

The Main Hall Master chuckled and said, ”No wonder you are Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun; your prestige in Guisha City now is second only to the Guisha City Lord and the Heartless Inn Master, those two mysterious figures.”

”Especially in the past two weeks, with the continuous purging of the Evil Cultivation Branch, Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun is now acclaimed as the ’Evil Cultivator Slayer.’”

”In the entire Central Region, among the younger generation, only that Purple Flame Yi Xiao can match you.”

The Main Hall Master said as he sighed with relief, ”I knew from the beginning that there was a reason the Master of the Main Hall had you come here for training.”

”And for the Master of the Main Hall to dare let you come, he must have had great confidence in you.”

”Indeed, Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, you have become quite renowned in these two weeks.”

”I worried for nothing all these days, it seems.”

”What?” Xiao Yi was baffled.

After a moment, he finally understood what the Main Hall Master meant.

Evidently, the Main Hall Master misunderstood.

He came to Guisha City purely by chance.

The rising fame was merely incidental to completing the evil cultivator tasks.

The title ’Evil Cultivator Slayer’ was indeed beyond Xiao Yi’s expectations.

Evil cultivators, in the Central Region, were like rats scurrying across the street.

Yet, evil cultivators were all cunning and elusive.

Even the Eight Palaces had been unable to completely eradicate evil cultivators over millennia.

Furthermore, the location of the Evil Lord Mansion’s stronghold remained a mystery.

Naturally, whether as ’Yi Xiao’ or ’Xiao Xun’, given their exceptional efficiency in defeating evil cultivators, both identities earned the title of ’Evil Cultivator Slayer.’

”Hmph.” At this moment, the Main Hall Master snorted coldly, ”A few months ago, that Purple Flame Yi Xiao was very prominent.”

”The martial artists of the Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, and so on were proud for quite a while.”

”Now, our Heavenly Mechanism Hall also boasts a Heavenly Talent like Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, who is in no way inferior to Yi Xiao, perhaps even surpasses him.”

”Let’s see how proud the Demon Hunting Three Halls remain.”

The Main Hall Master looked very pleased.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s face under the mask twitched slightly.

Logically speaking, given both Xiao Xun and Yi Xiao had equally precise abilities to track down evil cultivators, one might suspect they could be the same person.

However, in truth, their styles were vastly different.

Purple Flame Yi Xiao was a Fire Control Demon, acting with decisive swiftness.

Black Robe Xiao Xun, on the other hand, was a Black Mage with many tricks up his sleeve. His personality was bizarre, and he conducted brutal methods, becoming a terrifying Ghost Hunter.

Thus, such suspicion was easily dismissed.

”Main Hall Master, let’s get straight to the point about why you summoned me.” Xiao Yi asked outright.

”Oh, I almost forgot.” The Main Hall Master slapped his forehead and said, ”An hour ago, the Main Hall issued an urgent command, ordering your return.”

”An urgent command from the Main Hall?” Xiao Yi frowned.

The only person who could have issued an urgent command calling him back would be the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master.

”Did the Palace Master say what it’s about?” Xiao Yi asked, frowning.

The Main Hall Master shook his head, ”No.”

Xiao Yi pondered for a while and then nodded, ”Alright, I’ll go back to the Main Hall first.”

After all, there were still three days until he was to go to the Heartless Inn.

He was free anyway.

With his speed, returning to the Main Hall wouldn’t take long.

Going back to see what the Main Hall Master wanted couldn’t hurt.

...

Meanwhile, far away in the Black Cloud Region, inside the Black Cloud Academy.

The Vice Dean was carefully reading a dossier in his hand.

It was evidently a piece of intelligence.

”Black Robe Xiao Xun, the Evil Cultivator Slayer?” The Vice Dean chuckled, ”It seems our Black Demon Hall has produced a very remarkable monster this time.”

”In terms of purging evil cultivators, he exceeds even that Purple Flame Yi Xiao.”

Beside him, Qing Lin scoffed, ”Is that really impressive?”

The Vice Dean glared at him, ”What do you know?”

”The name Purple Flame Yi Xiao alone commands respect from even the Hidden Forces.”

”Before he appeared, I can’t recall how many countless ages it’s been since the Evil Lord Mansion suffered such considerable setbacks.”

”This person’s reputation even surpassed any Supreme Monster in the Central Region.”

”And now, Black Robe Xiao Xun is evidently even stronger.”

”But, of course, he is a rare owner of Twin Martial Souls, naturally outstandingly terrifying.”

”Tch.” Qing Lin reflexively said, ”Is Twin Martial Souls that special?”

”My Junior Brother Xiao Yi also has Twin Martial Souls, one of which is a purple peak...”

Qing Lin unconsciously mentioned but then snapped his mouth shut.

”What, that kid Xiao Yi too?” The Vice Dean looked shocked.

Qing Lin covered his mouth, ”Don’t ask me, I promised Junior Brother Xiao Yi I wouldn’t say.”

The Vice Dean shook his head, a trace of pity flashing across his face, ”What a pity, since the person is dead...”

Before the Vice Dean could finish, he suddenly glanced at a figure not far away, frowning.

It was Senior Luo.

Senior Luo, at some point unnoticed, was evidently listening to the conversation between the two.

Those indifferent eyes narrowed, a flash of killing intent briefly appearing.
