Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2181: Chapter 2178: Only This Sky Can Shake

Xiao Yi, Yiyi, and Senior Swordswoman, the three of them, have already left Holy Moon Sect.

But at this moment, within the Holy Moon Sect, this Outer World remains bustling, still filled with powerful figures.

The Eight Palace Elite are still locking down all directions of heaven and earth.

Without the command of the eight Masters of the Main Hall, no one is allowed to enter this space at will.

Holy Moon Sect, within the sect’s location.

A certain hall, within a certain chamber.

”Family Head.”

The figure of Dongfang Family Master appeared out of thin air.

Several elders hurriedly bowed to greet him.

”Father.” Dongfang Zhi called out pouting.

”Uncle.” Dongfang Zi, dressed in a fitted purple attire, gave a slight bow.

The Dongfang Family did not send any strong figures to participate in the Holy Moon event this time.

Only the younger generation led by Dongfang Zhi, along with a few young members of the main family.

And the branch’s leader Dongfang Zi, along with a few young members from the branch.

Those elders were merely guardians of this group of young people.

”No need for formalities.” Dongfang Family Master waved his hand and sat down in the Chief’s Office of the chamber.

Dongfang Family Master had just sat down.

Dongfang Zhi was already full of indignation, ”Father, you finally arrived.”

”You don’t know, this time the Eight Palaces truly went too far, even confining us.”

”Our Dongfang Family did not participate in the matters of Holy Moon Sect, we were merely here for some fun.”

”Were you wronged?” Dongfang Family Master lovingly smiled, then asked with a tinge of concern.

”Indeed.” Dongfang Zhi replied without hesitation, ”Not only the Eight Palaces but also that evil Xiao Xun... no, now we should call him Xiao Yi, the little thief.”

”This little thief not only didn’t die but also fooled everyone.”

”A few days ago, when I was out, that guy wore a mask, concealed his identity, so arrogant.”

”These days in Holy Moon Sect, he and that Holy Daughter, are truly enjoying themselves.”

”I, the daughter of the current Family Head of Dongfang, actually fall short of him...”

Dongfang Family Master waved his hand, interrupted Dongfang Zhi’s words, then looked at everyone.

”Zhi’er and Dongfang Zi stay, the rest of you, leave first.”

”Yes, Family Head.” Everyone bowed, saluted, and slowly withdrew.

In the vast chamber, only Dongfang Family Master, Dongfang Zhi, and Dongfang Zi were left.

”Dongfang Zi, go ahead.” Dongfang Family Master smiled and said.

Dongfang Zi nodded, ”Reporting to Uncle, these days, although the Eight Palaces have locked down this Outer World.”

”But our Dongfang Family group has not suffered grievances.”

”The Eight Palaces did not restrict our freedom; we could freely walk within this Outer World.”

”Only the departure from this space is not allowed.”

”Dongfang Zi, what are you saying?” Dongfang Zhi’s expression instantly cooled.

”Are you afraid of the Eight Palaces?”

Dongfang Zi gave a wry smile, ”Merely speaking the truth.”

”According to family rules, deceiving the Family Head is subject to severe punishment.”

”Enough.” Dongfang Family Master smiled, ”I know your personalities.”

”Dongfang Zi wouldn’t deceive me.”

”And Zhi’er, you are just upset and want to oppose them.”

”Have you forgotten, our Dongfang Family has always had a good relationship with the Eight Palaces.”

”Your grandfather was a confidant with the Asura Hall Master, once followed him through life and death.”

”The Eight Palaces wouldn’t make things difficult for you.”

”Hmph.” Dongfang Zhi snorted coldly, pouting, ”What’s the meaning of the Eight Palaces this time?”

Dongfang Family Master waved his hand and said, ”All these years, led by Holy Moon Sect, the major hidden families have been excessively arrogant, with unprecedented power.”

”The Eight Palaces always intended to balance things out.”

”This time, the Eight Palaces may not act against Holy Moon Sect, but will take this opportunity to thoroughly balance the Hidden Hundred Families.”

”Naturally, this space lockdown cannot be lifted temporarily.”

”The Eight Palaces have their plans; once everything is dealt with, they’ll unlock the lockdown.”

Dongfang Family Master, being able to become Family Head, is certainly not a mediocre person, and he has guessed the current intention of the Eight Palaces.

”What about the matter of Xiao Yi, the little thief?” Dongfang Zhi said coldly.

”The eight Masters of the Main Hall unanimously announced his succession.”

”Although it wasn’t clearly stated that he would take over the Eight Palaces, only mentioned he inherited one hall.”

”But the eight collectively announced this already indicates he will inherit the Eight Palaces, which violates the iron rule of the Eight Palaces.”

”If this matter spreads out, I wonder what excuse the Eight Palaces will have.”

”Excuse? What excuse is needed?” Dongfang Family Master chuckled lightly.

”No one will bring up this matter, so what need is there for an excuse?”

”No one will bring it up?” Dongfang Zhi’s eyes widened in shock.

Dongfang Family Master nodded, ”Although this place is locked, I have been aware of the events of these days.”

”Sword Dao Demon Xiao Yi, Fire Control Demon Yi Xiao, Poison Demon Xiao Xun, are actually the same person.”

”Not only are the legendary twins the same person.”

”Now, all three major demon identities are combined into one.”

”Such a terrifying demon, which of those eight old fellows would be willing to suffer, who would be willing to push their successor towards others?”

”Likewise, if these eight old fellows insist on playing dumb, who would dare to tread on their toes? Who would dare to go talk to them?”

Yes, such a terrifying demon, which old fellow is willing to suffer, willing to let go?

”They merely ignore the iron rules.” Dongfang Zhi said angrily, ”Our Hidden Family can also use this opportunity to topple them.”

”With the power of my Dongfang Family, allied with the Holy Moon Sect, Beiyin Palace, and the Hidden Hundred Families.”

”Even the Eight Palaces cannot prevail.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Family Master’s smile froze, replaced by a heavy and cold expression.

”The Eight Palaces are the cornerstone of the continent, and cannot be depleted.”

”If one is damaged, it would be a disaster for the continent.”

”Zhi’er, such dangerous thoughts, do not entertain them in the future.”

Dongfang Zhi frowned and said, ”Could it be that father also fears them? As far as I know, father’s strength is not much less than the Saint Lord, and not inferior to any Hall Master.”

”The Holy Moon Sect has the Saint Lord and Moon Venerate Martial Saint, plus father’s strength, along with a number of strong allies...”

Dongfang Family Master shook his head and interrupted, ”That’s because you haven’t seen how terrifying these eight old fellows can be when they really get angry.”

”If they want, even if all the families add up, they cannot shake the Eight Palaces.”

”I said, the Eight Palaces are the cornerstone of the continent.”

”Not to mention father, the Saint Lord, or Beiyin Palace, even if all Hidden Forces unite, they cannot contend with the Eight Palaces.”

”Of course, no one wishes to contend with the Eight Palaces either.”

”Why?” Dongfang Zhi asked with a frown.

Dongfang Family Master’s tone became serious, ”Because the Eight Palaces represent this continent.”

”The wrath of the Eight Palaces is the wrath of this continent.”

”The Eight Palaces can gather all the top fighting power of this continent.”

”Why? Who set this rule?” Dongfang Zhi placed her hands on her hips, fuming.

”Martial God.” Dongfang Family Master said gravely, uttering two words.

”Martial God? Isn’t he fallen? Wait, did the Martial God really exist?” Dongfang Zhi exclaimed.

”He did exist, and he has fallen.” Dongfang Family Master said solemnly.

”But this does not affect the significance of the Eight Palaces.”

”Therefore, what can shake the Eight Palaces is only the heavens.”

”Zhi’er, do not ask anymore.” Only a pure, solemn expression remained on Dongfang Family Master’s face.

”Some matters are not secrets you should be involved with.”

”Father understands your nature, and knows what you’re thinking.”

”You always want to compete to win or lose.”

”But do you remember when you left the Dongfang Family, father advised you, that there’s no need to care about any demon in this world, even the former Holy Daughter of the Holy Moon Sect.”

”But there’s only one exception, Purple Flame Yi Xiao, do not provoke him, because he is the successor announced to the world by the Three Halls.”

”Now, this Xiao Yi is acknowledged as the successor by the Eight Palaces themselves.”

”In other words, even I have to be wary of him to some extent.”

”In the future, do not think of him anymore.”

Dongfang Zhi pouted, ”No matter how outstanding he is, he is just a young demon who hasn’t matured yet.”

”While walking outside, he might encounter accidents.”

”In the future, which demon will become the continent’s top demon is still uncertain; among the younger generation, who will survive to the end is still uncertain.”

”Moreover, he has deep grudges with the Evil Lord Mansion, he’s alone outside, who can say for sure what will happen.”

”It can be said for sure.” Dongfang Family Master nodded without hesitation.

”From today onwards, in this world, no one and no force would dare to touch him a bit.”

Beside him, Dongfang Zi’s face showed surprise, ”Uncle means...”

”Yes, you’ve seen it clearly.” Dongfang Family Master nodded with satisfaction, ”This time, the Eight Palaces are not only looking to balance the Hidden Forces, but also to build momentum and prestige for this young one.”

”The Eight Palaces are telling everyone that they can lock down the Holy Moon Sect, and any force, any giant entity.”

”Furthermore, the current Eight Palaces still count as fragmented.” Dongfang Family Master spoke gravely to the two in front of him.

”But, this young one, may possibly change all of this.”

”The once united Eight Palaces may reappear.”

”You two, as the most outstanding young generation of the main and branch Dongfang Families, one of you will also lead the Dongfang Family one day.”

”Today, I especially kept you here and said so much to you, to let you know that in future matters, you must learn to consider.”
