Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2126: Chapter 2124: Such a Young Saint Sovereign First Layer?

”Xiao Yi.”

”Young Master Xiao Yi.”

”Senior Brother Xiao Yi.”

From the Eighteen Mansions to the Five Great Academy, including Black Cloud Academy, there was a chorus of joyful exclamations.

Pairs of joyful eyes turned towards him.

Some were filled with intense excitement and fervor.

These gazes mostly came from people like Ye Liu, Qing Lin, and others.

Others were pairs of beautiful eyes, filled with extreme excitement and joy.

Chu Rou, Muu Ning, Cheng Suyan, Gongsun Huowu, and others all stared tightly at Xiao Yi.

They never expected that this person, who had been absent for half a year and was believed dead, whom they worried about and yearned for, would appear in such a way.

There were also some discordant voices around.

Like someone calling ’Xiao Yi little thief.’

Of course, among these voices and gazes, whether filled with surprise, excitement, or shock and frown, there was an unmistakable sense of bafflement.

Yes, bafflement.

This Sword Dao Demon, whom everyone believed to be dead half a year ago, actually appeared alive in the Holy Moon Sect today?

At the same time, what this Sword Dao Demon said was even more bewildering.

Maid?

The direction his gaze went was indeed towards the Holy Daughter standing on the Joyful Moon high stage.

Could it be that the rumors from half a year ago were true?

This Sword Dao Demon’s beloved was the rumored Holy Moon Sect Saintess, Xiao Yiyi.

Because of this, this Sword Dao Demon was hunted down by the four Great Elders of Mirror Flower Water Moon of Holy Moon Sect and finally perished alongside them in the Extreme East.

The rumors about Xiao Yi and the Holy Moon Sect Saintess naturally came from the few gossipers trapped in the Blood Moon Formation among the group of Heavenly Talent at the time.

Thus, it was a rumor.

The truth remained unknown.

After all, in everyone’s eyes, that Sword Dao Demon was already dead half a year ago.

And in the Eight Palace Seats.

Senior Luoo’s gaze towards Xiao Yi was extremely cold.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, Flame Hall Master, and three other hall masters frowned.

Only Asura Hall Master and Wind Shattering Palace Master showed boundless joy, but this joy lasted only a few seconds before it all vanished.

Asura Hall Master once said, he never feared anything in his life, and that remained true today.

But now, his calm and stable-as-Mount Tai aged face revealed a trace of panic.

This panic didn’t stem from what he realized, what their two halls were about to face today.

But it came from their heirs who unexpectedly appeared in such circumstances today.

If it were only the two of them, they were fearless. For those who had lived countless years, life and death meant little.

But, the Sword Dao Demon before them was their hope, a hope more important than their own lives in their eyes.

”Oh no.” Asura Hall Master thought to himself instantly.

Both hall masters exchanged a glance with a tacit understanding.

Simultaneously, they both saw a mutual choice in each other’s eyes.

One of resolve, and willingness to sacrifice everything.

Both of them unobtrusively nodded, with a decision made in their hearts.

And at this moment, it was only seconds since the Sword Dao Demon pointed his sword to the sky.

The Sword Dao Demon then sheathed his sword.

The dazzling display of lights between heaven and earth had all vanished.

The Heavenly Phoenix and Wind Flood Dragon flying on both sides retreated in fear.

In the instant he sheathed his sword, his footsteps already began to move.

Step by step, not fast, nor slow.

Until now, all the people around finally reacted, but also watched his actions with confusion.

Xiao Yi walked step by step, his gaze ignoring anyone around, only staring straight at the person on the distant high stage.

This person had once appeared in his life like a meteor, bringing him laughter and warming his cold heart, but quickly disappeared without lingering on his life’s path for long.

Countless nights, he gazed at the night sky, inexplicably reflecting that person’s obedient face.

Countless times, he lifted his heavy hand to catch, yet grasped nothing.

Countless times, he wanted to hold tightly but could not hold onto this radiant star.

He understood, it was longing.

He believed it was due to his insufficient strength.

He knew that person was more precious and beautiful than the brightest star.

Today, since he came, he would hold tight, never letting that person disappear from his sight again.

Xiao Yi’s figure kept walking, when passing by the Eight Palace Seats, or more accurately, the seats of Asura and Wind Shattering Palaces, his footsteps paused slightly.

Xiao Yi smiled, looked at the two, ”These past six months, I’ve troubled the two hall masters with concern.”

Asura and Wind Shattering Palace Masters were stunned, not because of anything else, but because of the smile on Xiao Yi’s face.

This smile, they both had never seen before.

Even when Xiao Yi became famous in the Central Region, when his cultivation broke through, when he gained some great opportunity or treasures, he never showed such a smile.

Both of them also smiled, ”It seems you found what you always wanted, what is more precious than life.”

The two also glanced at Yiyi on the high stage.

Xiao Yi nodded, smiling lightly but with a serious face,” I hope today the two seniors will not interfere.”

”I can handle my own affairs.”

”Hmm?” The two hall masters frowned.

They understood Xiao Yi’s meaning, also knew Xiao Yi was worried they would violate the iron rule of the Eight Palaces, interfering in power struggles and personal grievances.

Xiao Yi had noticed the mutual gaze and decisive look in the eyes of the two hall masters.

Of course, he knew what the two hall masters intended to do.

But it was his own matter.

He didn’t want the two halls to clash with a giant like Holy Moon Sect.

The two hall masters were about to speak.

Yet Xiao Yi’s footsteps moved again.

Passing the two hall masters, also passing the spectator seats, Xiao Yi’s figure appeared on the Martial Arts Arena.

Whoosh... Xiao Yi quickened his pace.

Only now, everyone around completely reacted.

”Outrageous, how dare you disturb our Holy Moon Sect’s event?” a Holy Moon Sect elder shouted loudly.

”Where did this petty thief come from, disrupting the heavenly brilliance, scaring away the Heavenly Phoenix and Wind Flood Dragon, ruining the joy of the two sects, a heinous crime, someone, seize him and kill on the spot.”

This Holy Moon Sect elder shouted.

But none of the elders or experts on the seats of Holy Moon Sect.

Nor the deacons or martial artists around the Martial Arts Arena dared to move.

Just because, on the high stage, the woman clad in the phoenix crown and red robe was looking coldly at them.

Everyone in the Holy Moon Sect knew this Holy Daughter waited for this man for years and dreamed of him every night.

Who within Holy Moon Sect would dare provoke this Holy Daughter, the future Sect Master of Holy Moon Sect?

Thus, no one in Holy Moon Sect acted.

Only the Saint Lord frowned and squinted his eyes, not moving but gestured to the spectator seat of the Hidden Family.

At the spectator seat, an old man nodded casually.

”You damn Xiao Yi little thief.” The old man yelled angrily.

”This gathering of the Hidden Hundred Families, our Hidden Forces’ grand event, can’t tolerate a secular person like you to wreak havoc, disturbing our hidden prestige?”

”Someone, seize him for me.”

”Yes.” Several elders behind the old man leaped out instantly, extremely fast.

Observing their aura, they were undoubtedly Saint Venerate Realm experts.

”The Feng Family?” Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, then chuckled coldly, ”Just a few First and Second Layer Saint Sovereigns dare to block me?”

Clang...

With a slash of Purple Lightning in hand.

Violet electric light cut a purple arc of lightning in the air.

As the sword fell, several elders were instantly dismembered.

”Hmm? How can this be?” The old man was shocked.

All the martial artists around widened their eyes, instinctively releasing their senses.

”Hmm? Legendary Ten Thousand Dao, First Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm?”

”How is this possible, this kid is at most 27 or 28, stepping into Legend?”

”Such a young Saint Sovereign Realm Sword Cultivator?”
