Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2127: Chapter 2125: Gazes Met on the High Platform

The surrounding martial artists, all had expressions of shock and horror.

Including the Eighteen Mansions Masters and the various hidden Family Heads.

No, it was a kind of profound shock, almost indescribable.

Even Elder Huoo, the Old Dean, unconsciously tugged at his graying beard, looking incredulously at that Sword Dao demon.

Of course, his face took on an even more unsightly expression.

This Sword Dao demon had gone to his Heavenly Hidden Academy for evaluation and almost became his fourth Direct Disciple.

Even the Eight Palace Seats, the eight Masters of the Main Halls, had their eyes wide open in disbelief.

A young man, only 27 or 28 years old, was a Martial Arts Venerate and a Sword Cultivator of the Saint Sovereign Realm?

So young, yet stepping into legend?

Looking across the Central Region, even this generation of young Heavenly Talents, hailed as the most monstrous of generations.

But which forces dare say their Heavenly Talent can step into the Saint Sovereign Realm at such an age?

”How terrifyingly monstrous, even Yi Xiao couldn’t achieve this.”

”How terrifyingly monstrous, even Xiao Xun couldn’t achieve this.”

The same exclamations echoed simultaneously from the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, Medicine Venerate Master, Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master, and others.

However, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, Medicine Venerate Master, Flame Hall Master were purely exclaiming.

While the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master frowned, a trace of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

The several Masters knew of another whose youth exceeded this one in stepping into the Saint Sovereign Realm.

Precisely that now deceased Little Evil Lord of the Evil Lord Mansion.

However, that Little Evil Lord absorbed external power, taking part of the Cultivation of the Heavenly Sand Two Monsters, thus reaching the level of two thousand Dao layers.

The Little Evil Lord himself was merely at the First Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm.

Moreover, the Evil Dao was inherently easier to cultivate than the normal Martial Arts, with almost no bottleneck.

Of course, while the Evil Dao seems easy to cultivate, the more one cultivates, the more severe the consequences become—it is certainly not a good thing.

Like Xiao Yi, who truly stepped into legend on the path of Martial Arts Dao, achieving the level of Saint Sovereign Realm, that is genuinely terrifying.

Everyone fell into a brief shock.

And then, just a second or two later, as people reacted.

Xiao Yi had already transformed into a phantom, arriving beneath the high platform.

He stepped a few stances into the air, landing directly atop the high platform.

Chirp...

Just at that moment, a sharp tweet sounded.

A cyan phantom darted straight forth.

Within the phantom, there was mingling cold white flames.

That was the Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix.

”Illusion Moon, don’t.” Yiyi cried out in alarm.

She knew full well; her Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix was capable of turning even an old Saint Sovereign Realm Fifth Layer powerhouse into ashes in an instant.

However, Xiao Yi stood motionless, instead coldly meeting the vigilant and fierce light in the eyes of the Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix.

”Vile beast, do you wish to die?”

A low voice, filled with icy intent.

The Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix unconsciously retreated a step, its vast cold white flames dissipating instantly.

The fierce light in its eyes transformed into a trace of terror.

In its eyes, the gaze of this man, those clear cold eyes, carried an overwhelming deterrence like a natural enemy.

The flames within it trembled inexplicably for a moment.

Its inherent flames, fearing the man in front of it.

”Leave.” Xiao Yi coldly uttered a single icy note.

If he hadn’t seen the attachment in the Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix’s eyes when looked at Yiyi, knew that it was Yiyi’s protective beast, at this moment, the Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix would already be a corpse.

The Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix unconsciously retreated a few more steps, yet still firmly guarded behind Yiyi and did not leave.

Once again, a wave of astonished exclamations erupted around.

”How is it possible, the Illusion Moon Heavenly Phoenix, the head of Heavenly Phoenix, the spirit of hundred birds, driven back by a single word?” a hidden old Family Head exclaimed.

On the high platform.

Xiao Yi stowed away the Purple Lightning in his hand, merely smiling at the person before him.

Yet the person in front stood dazed.

She suddenly realized, standing prepared to wait forever, when the person suddenly appeared before her, she didn’t know what to say.

Ten years unseen, her young master had little change in appearance.

As handsome and graceful as always, sufficient to make any woman looking at him find her heart skipping.

Only, this face bore traces of hardship that could not be concealed, more mature, yet even more mesmerizing.

Those eyes, as clear, bright, and appealing as ever.

Yet in them, there was much more resolve and coldness than before.

The person waited for long, now in front of her; in that moment, her eyes brimmed with tears.

For her heart was no longer bleeding.

But still, she didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Yi eyed the person before him, similarly dazed.

In his eyes, the person’s appearance also hadn’t changed much from before.

As lovely and beautiful as ever.

Of course, compared to the youthful innocence fifteen years ago, now she had grown much.

The lovely face held a slight authority.

Yet within those beautiful eyes was a trace of lingering fatigue.

That was the mark left by nightly longing and frequent furrowing brows.

Xiao Yi, looking at the person, did not know what to say.

Ten years unseen, faced with mutual silence.

Yet it lasted only a second.

Xiao Yi let a smile curl his lips, ”Why cry?”

In truth, today he came as agreed, but regarding the wedding, he hadn’t known.

Now, witnessing the instant expression and tears of the person, in fact, he already understood; the person wholly rejected.

Xiao Yi chuckled, ”While traveling outside, I often heard the silly talk of hidden forces.”

”The noble Holy Moon Sect Saintess, yearning constantly for a man, often fasting, repeatedly assailed by heart demons.”

”That man, could it be me?”

Xiao Yi’s tone bore a hint of teasing.

Yiyi, hearing him, abruptly halted tears, replaced by sudden blushing.

”Young Master...” Yiyi whispered, sobbing and murmuring.

Xiao Yi teased, ”If you answer no, I’ll take you back as a maid, daily chopping firewood, cooking and serving me.”

”If the answer is yes, then I’ll directly take you home, either way doesn’t differ.”

”Yes.” Yiyi feared Xiao Yi’s misunderstanding, despite sobbing, replied hastily, ”Yiyi yearns for Young Master day and night...”

Bang...

Before Yiyi finished her words, she was already enclosed by a pair of powerful arms, her head buried in a warm and comfortable chest.

A sincere apologies accompanied her ear, ”Sorry, made you wait long.”

On the high platform, under countless eyes’ watch, Xiao Yi held Yiyi.

Compared to the Holy Moon Sect sealing all Xiao Yi’s information, Yiyi had no knowledge of him.

Within these six months, Xiao Yi had encountered various hidden forces. Though through scattered words, it sufficed for judging Yiyi’s situation.

He clearly knew this person had been waiting, pained by melancholy.

”Would you be willing to leave with me?” Xiao Yi released Yiyi, smiling gently.

Yiyi intended to say something but abruptly displayed terror.

At a distance, upon the Chief’s seat, a woman’s lips moved quietly.

Despite sound absence, Yiyi’s terror deepened into resolute coldness.

”Unwilling.” Yiyi coldly uttered two words.

...

Second update.
