Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2210: Chapter 2207: Solution: The Word Is Strength

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

”What does the Master of the Main Hall mean?”

Xiao Yi suddenly recalled that Senior Luoo had mentioned that the Holy Puppet, at the peak of its proliferation, was suddenly destroyed by the joint efforts of the top Martial Artists across the continent.

The Asura Hall Master shook his head, ”I cannot delve into the matter, nor can I explain it.”

”Alright.” Xiao Yi nodded, ”That youngster has another question.”

”Senior Luoo has told me that the Holy Puppet disappeared for countless years, suddenly reemerged, and then appeared in the hands of the Evil Lord Mansion.”

”The only possibility is someone must have given it to the Evil Lord Mansion.”

”I inquired about this person, but Senior Luoo did not divulge.”

”Instead, he told me that if someone is willing to tell me, let him tell, but he himself isn’t willing.”

After Xiao Yi finished speaking.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master chuckled coldly, ”That Luoo person is quite clever, putting the matter onto us?”

Xiao Yi frowned, ”The two Masters of the Main Hall can’t tell me either?”

”You really want to know?” The Asura Hall Master countered.

Xiao Yi nodded, ”I always feel if I’m aware of this matter, it could help me sort out many things.”

”Can you tell me?” Xiao Yi asked.

”Yes.” The Asura Hall Master nodded.

Xiao Yi’s face lit up with joy.

”But not now.” The Asura Hall Master spoke again.

”Then when?” Xiao Yi frowned deeply and inquired.

The Asura Hall Master slowly stood up, walked to Xiao Yi, and patted his shoulder, ”Wait until you are prepared and willing to take on the burdens we bear.”

”Wait until you are willing to bear the responsibility belonging to this continent.”

The Asura Hall Master spoke with deep meaning.

Xiao Yi squinted, frowns tightening even more.

”But right now, my head is full of doubts and questions.” It was the first time Xiao Yi felt such distress.

This distress does not stem from what he is worrying about.

Rather, it’s because his thoughts are currently very chaotic.

”My mind is very confused now.”

”I always feel that everything has suddenly changed too fast, and everything is inexplicably messy.”

”Heh.” The Asura Hall Master chuckled, ”Confusion and distress are very normal.”

”But if you can have a better solution yourself, why worry?”

”Solution?” Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

”Yes.” The Asura Hall Master nodded slightly and said solemnly, ”The solution is very simple, only two words: strength.”

”Strength.” Xiao Yi frowned and clenched his fists.

”Yes.” The Asura Hall Master said seriously, ”Once you possess enough strength, no matter the craftiness, the changes of time, or overwhelming transformations, one punch can dispel them.”

”You feel everything is chaotic and distressing now because many things are completely out of your control.”

”You care about people and things, so you worry about accidents.”

”But these worries, even if you resolve doubts now, are useless because you do not have enough strength to contend or manage.”

”Therefore, the old man gives you an answer of only two words: strength.”

”As long as you possess absolute strength, everything will be solved efficiently.”

”Everything solved efficiently?” Xiao Yi squinted.

Crack, crack, crack...

Xiao Yi’s fists clenched, making a sharp sound.

”Yes, strength.” Xiao Yi suddenly spat out three words, his eyes bursting forth with a gleam.

Once Xiao Yi returned to normal, his gaze was filled with confidence and determination, reminiscent of the Xiao Yi who walked through blood unafraid of the path ahead.

”I think I understand now.” Xiao Yi chuckled, ”Thanks to the two Masters of the Main Hall.”

Xiao Yi respectfully gave a deep bow to the two.

”The youngster is also ready to go on a journey, I will not linger more.”

”Journey?” The Asura Hall Master nodded, ”That’s a good thing.”

”Have you decided where to go?”

”The Demon Domain.” Xiao Yi replied.

”The Demon Domain?” The Wind Shattering Palace Master squinted, ”If I’m not mistaken, it must be that Luoo person instigating you to go.”

The Asura Hall Master instead nodded, ”Going to the Demon Domain is a good thing, it is currently very suitable for your training.”

”Then, the youngster will leave.” Xiao Yi chuckled.

”No more worries now?” The Asura Hall Master laughed and asked.

Xiao Yi laughed, ”Worries have vanished completely, now only strength occupies my mind, the world is open to exploration.”

”Good, not bad.” The Asura Hall Master nodded, ”But before leaving, there is one more thing.”

”Oh?” Xiao Yi inquired curiously, ”What could it be?”

The Asura Hall Master looked outside, called out loudly, ”Summon Lei Xiao.”

”Yes.” Outside, a dutiful response echoed.

”Hall Master Lei Xiao?” Xiao Yi frowned, having an inkling of what it might be about.

After a while, Lei Xiao came, first respectfully saluting the two Masters of the Main Hall, then looked at Xiao Yi, slightly nodding.

”Youngster.” The Asura Hall Master looked at Xiao Yi, ”Back then, when you acted under the name Xiao Xun, Hall Master Lei Xiao blatantly disregarded the palace rules.”

”You once said you would seek justice from him one day.”

Xiao Yi chuckled, ”What happened back then probably had its reasons, it all depends on the Master’s handling.”

”Youngster.” Lei Xiao looked at Xiao Yi, saying, ”Back then I said if you were that youngster, I’d let you seek justice.”

”Now, I promise it.”

”However you decide, I’m at your service.”

Xiao Yi nodded, grinning softly, ”But I remember, that General Order Token was given to Dongfang Zi by Master of the Main Hall.”

”If we are to investigate, it seems Master of the Main Hall also has to...”

Xiao Yi didn’t finish his sentence.

The Asura Hall Master understood, stroked his beard and laughed, ”You youngster.”

”Alright, at that time I gave the Eight Palaces’ General Order to Dongfang Zi because the old man and the Dongfang Family are close friends.”

”And Dongfang Zi is the most outstanding young member of the Dongfang Family’s branch.”

”So when she left the family to travel the Central Region, I specially gave her the General Order for protection.”

”Since she violated palace rules because of it, I too will be punished according to palace rules, alongside Hall Master Lei Xiao.”

”Master of the Main Hall, you jest.” Xiao Yi chuckled.

”It’s not jest.” The Asura Hall Master shook his head, ”Palace rules are as such.”

After speaking, the Asura Hall Master returned to the desk, took out a token, ”This is the Dongfang Family’s Supreme Elder Token.”

”With this, you can temporarily exercise the authority of the Dongfang Family’s Supreme Elder, mobilize the twelve elders under the Sect Master, the thirty-three divisions of Eastern Iron Guard stationed at the edge of the Demon Domain, totaling three hundred and thirty thousand elite Martial Artists.”

”Hiss.” Xiao Yi gasped, ”This...”

”Take it.” The Wind Shattering Palace Master chuckled, ”You’ve already accepted the General Order, what’s one more token to mobilize the Dongfang Family’s elite?”

”Though dangerous, going to the Demon Domain isn’t excessively risky, but safeguards are essential.”

”Thanks to the Master of the Main Hall.” Xiao Yi nodded, accepting it.

”Alright, set off now.” The Asura Hall Master said, ”You go first, to quell the Demons’ hostility; within three to four months, we’ll follow with the Eight Palaces’ formidable cultivators to the Demon Domain.”

”Understood.” Xiao Yi bowed, took his leave.

Beside him, Hall Master Lei Xiao said solemnly, ”Vice Master Xiao Yi, once all matters are resolved, the old man will certainly give you a satisfactory account.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Yi nodded.
