Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2209: Chapter 2206: The Unformable Character

The face of the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, along with the other two main hall masters, became incredibly complex in an instant.

This complexity was mixed with melancholy, sadness, and many inexplicable emotions.

Xiao Yi remained silent, saying nothing.

After a while, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master sighed and said first, ”Xiao Yi, this is the grudge of us old folks.”

”Old things, after all, have inexplicable grudges.”

”Furthermore, it has been an extremely long past, it’s not a big deal.”

”You don’t need to concern yourself with it anymore.”

”Oh, by the way,” the Medicine Venerate Main Hall Master said in a deep voice from the side, ”It’s fortunate that today you asked us about this matter.”

”If you were to ask those from the Wind Shattering, they might explode.”

”I remind you, don’t ask in front of them.”

”Hmm, I understand,” Xiao Yi nodded.

Some things are better left unasked.

His purpose here was not about this matter in the first place.

”By the way,” the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master suddenly asked, ”You mentioned earlier that you wanted to ask us something, what is it?”

”Oh,” Xiao Yi smiled, ”It’s nothing much, just some confusion on Martial Arts.”

”But I just had a thoughtful moment and realized quite a bit, so I won’t ask anymore, I’ll solve it myself.”

”Hmm,” the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master nodded, ”It’s better to resolve doubts in Martial Arts by yourself.”

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, ”I was planning to go on a training journey, I just happened to pass by the Demon Hunting Territory, so I came by.”

”Just to say hello.”

”I’ll take my leave now.”

”Hmm,” the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master lightly hummed, ”Martial Arts training is more important, you may leave.”

”But you should still give more thought to the matter of inheritance.”

”Hmm,” Xiao Yi responded and took his leave.

Leaving the Demon Hunting Territory.

In the sky.

While performing Sky-controlling Flight, Xiao Yi sighed, ”Sigh.”

The real reason he came to the Demon Hunting Territory was certainly not for doubts on Martial Arts.

What he wanted to ask, in fact, was about the secrets of the ’Wo’ family.

No matter what, he always felt something unusual about the Holy Puppet affair, so he decided to get a clear answer.

Since Senior Luoo was unwilling to tell him and said perhaps other main hall masters would, he came to the Demon Hunting Main Hall to ask.

After all, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master has a broader perspective compared to other main hall masters.

Yes, a broader perspective.

This is the distinct difference Xiao Yi noticed among the main hall masters.

However, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master became strangely saddened when recalling past grudges, so Xiao Yi naturally did not pursue further questions.

In truth, Xiao Yi’s mind is now full of doubts.

Originally, he ended his travels because of all these doubts and went to the Main Hall of the Black Demon Hall to ask Senior Luoo.

Unexpectedly, after asking Senior Luoo, his confusion only deepened.

Holy Puppet, Wo family, Lingyan Pavilion, the purpose of the Saint Lord taking the Ancient Emperor Scroll, the Ice Emperor Palace issue, the Six Venerables’ forces, and the upcoming journey to the Demon Domain etc.

These things are oddly interconnected, yet clearly seem unrelated.

Xiao Yi truly couldn’t understand where the problem lay.

But he also clearly knew that Senior Luoo would never speak useless words, and since he divulged so much yet repeatedly hesitated in speaking, there must be a reason.

”Tsk,” Xiao Yi clapped his forehead, frustratedly clicking his tongue.

Beside him, Yiyi was startled and quickly asked, ”Young Master, is there anything troubling you?”

Xiao Yi nodded, ”My thoughts are a bit scattered.”

With a concentrated look, Xiao Yi said, ”But it’s okay, there are still others who can provide answers.”

...

Two hours later.

Asura Territory.

Inside the Asura Main Hall.

Inside the main hall master’s room, Xiao Yi bowed to the old man in front of the desk.

The old man, as always, had deep eyes, seemingly containing endless wisdom, like the profound earth, towering like a mountain.

The old man was, of course, the Asura Hall Master.

Every time he saw the Asura Hall Master, for some reason, Xiao Yi always felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

This was a feeling that no other main hall master had ever given him.

As if, standing behind this old man, there was no fear of heaven collapsing and earth shattering.

This old man, of unimaginable insight, was an extraordinary wise man, and a senior whom Xiao Yi highly respected.

The Asura Hall Master smiled kindly, ”You finally came back, young lad.”

”Have you figured it out? You must know, you’re meant to be the successor of both Asura and Wind Shattering Halls, so it’s only right to succeed first.”

Xiao Yi inwardly smiled bitterly.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yi said, ”I came to ask about some matters.”

”Speak directly,” the Asura Hall Master chuckled lightly.

Xiao Yi nodded, his hand flickered with light at his fingertips.

Xiao Yi waved in the air, trying to sketch something.

But every time the light in his hand just took shape, it suddenly dissipated.

”How is it possible, unable to form?” Xiao Yi was astonished, then furrowed his brow.

The Asura Hall Master, seeing this, mused, ”Lad, what are you doing?”

Xiao Yi said nothing, frowning.

In Xiao Yi’s mind suddenly appeared the previous movements of Senior Luoo.

In confusion, he could only step up to the desk, ”Hall Master, may I borrow some tea?”

On the corner of the desk was the Asura Hall Master’s cup of tea, with tea inside.

Xiao Yi poured out a little, dipped his finger in the tea, and sketched the character ’Wo’ on the desk.

”Wo?” The Asura Hall Master narrowed his eyes, thinking indeed.

When Xiao Yi was gesturing in the air just now, he had some speculation.

Now truly seeing this character, he couldn’t help looking shocked.

”Who told you about this character?” A cold shout echoed in the air, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

It was the Wind Shattering Palace Master.

”You’re here,” the Asura Hall Master looked at the Wind Shattering Palace Master and nodded with a smile.

”Of course,” the Wind Shattering Palace Master smiled, ”Since this young lad is back, I naturally came to take a look, oh, by the way, have you decided on the succession matter?”

”No,” Xiao Yi shook his head.

”Let’s discuss this matter first,” the Asura Hall Master looked seriously at Xiao Yi, ”Who told you about this character?”

”Is there anything wrong with this character?” Xiao Yi asked in confusion, but still truthfully said, ”Senior Luoo told me.”

Saying this, Xiao Yi briefly described his travels and encounters with Evil Cultivators and the Holy Puppet.

”So it is the Holy Puppet,” the Asura Hall Master narrowed his eyes.

”Is there anything wrong with this character?” Xiao Yi asked again, ”I’ve also seen it in books.”

”But why was I unable to form it with Sword Qi and Primordial Power just now?”

”It’s simple,” the Asura Hall Master said solemnly, ”This character is not supposed to exist.”

”Anything related to Martial Arts cannot form this character, Sword Qi or Primordial Power, flames, drifting snow, gentle breeze, nothing can.”

”Only ordinary things like paper can record and write this character.”

What the Asura Hall Master meant was very simple, in other words, normal people can write this character.

But anything related to Primordial Power and Martial Arts cannot depict this character.

”Why?” Xiao Yi frowned and asked.

The Asura Hall Master said solemnly, ”As I said, this character is not supposed to exist.”

”This character defies the Heaven and Earth Rules.”

”This sky has forsaken it, hence it cannot form.”
