Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: The Vice Hall Master’s Inquiry
The Eye of Taiyin and Taiyang swiftly absorbs the power of the Martial Soul.
In fact, since long ago, Xiao Yi has seldom used the Eye of Taiyin and Taiyang to absorb the power of the Martial Soul.
It’s truly because the regular Martial Soul power has little effect.
The Fire Control Beast Martial Soul, upon reaching the Blue Peak stage, found little effect from Martial Souls below the blue tier.
Only the Purple Martial Soul has the greatest effect; while the Blue Martial Soul, the effect is average.
However, now, under Xiao Yi’s introspection, the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul that had stagnated at the Blue Peak stage for a long time, finally broke through.
Dots of Purple Radiance emanate from the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul.
However, at this moment, the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul still appears dull and foolish.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
The Eye of Taiyin and Taiyang continues to absorb.
The Purple Radiance on the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul gradually becomes more concentrated.
Minutes later, the Eye of Taiyin and Taiyang disappears.
The Purple Radiance on the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul no longer increases.
"Light color, Purple Early Stage." Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
Yet, he didn’t know why, instinct told him that the end point of the Fire Control Beast tier is still far away.
The Fire Control Beast Martial Soul awakened.
A Martial Soul, once awakened, accompanies the martial artist throughout their life.
Thus, Xiao Yi’s instinct regarding the Fire Control Beast is exceptionally sensitive.
And this sensitivity, at this moment when the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul breaks through the Purple Rank, feels even more intense.
As Xiao Yi contemplated this issue, suddenly, his brow furrowed again.
His gaze fell on the body of the Second Young Master of the Qin Family.
"Blue Radiant Thunder Lion Martial Soul." Xiao Yi frowned and muttered.
He absorbed the Martial Souls of these numerous Qin Family Martial Artists and naturally knew what their Martial Souls were.
The Martial Soul of the Second Young Master of the Qin Family is the Blue Radiant Thunder Lion, a quite formidable Thunder Control Demon Beast.
However, the Blue Radiant Thunder Lion, as a Martial Soul, is merely at the Blue Peak stage.
But when he absorbed just now, he was shocked to discover that the color of the Martial Soul within the Second Young Master of the Qin Family is Purple.
The Blue Radiant Thunder Lion is merely a Martial Soul of Blue Peak tier, yet it radiates the power of the Purple Rank.
"Martial Soul mutation?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself and then shook his head.
He was too lazy to think more, with a wave of his large hand, collected the Universe Ring from the corpse on the ground, along with the Demon Beast Core and Essence Blood of the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger.
His figure flashed, controlling the air as he flew away.
For him, these Qin Family Martial Artists, or the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger, were just a minor episode.
After returning to Four-direction City to submit the mission, he must continue his journey of training.
...
Half a day later, with Xiao Yi flying at full speed, he finally returned to Four-direction City.
His cultivation breakthrough has made his current speed several times faster than before.
Whoosh... From high above, Xiao Yi descended, heading straight for the Wind Shattering Hall.
The mission concerning the Evil Cultivator is the top joint mission of the Eight Palaces.
However, Xiao Yi’s current identity is that of the Chief Steward of the Wind Shattering Hall and the Branch Hall Master of the Asura Hall.
Hence, he can only go to these two halls to submit the mission.
He first headed to the Wind Shattering Hall simply because it’s closer, while the Asura Hall is farther away.
He didn’t want to travel all those extra miles.
...
In front of the main entrance of the Wind Shattering Hall.
Xiao Yi walked in briskly.
Suddenly, with a bang, he collided solidly with a figure.
Xiao Yi remained unmoved, but that figure fell to the ground.
"Which fellow doesn’t have eyes?" the figure said discontentedly.
"It seems it is you who doesn’t have eyes, rushing impetuously," Xiao Yi frowned and said.
"Forget it, sorry, I still have a mission..." The figure quickly stood up, casually said a few words, and was about to leave, but upon seeing Xiao Yi’s face, he froze in place.
The next second, his expression changed greatly, staring at Xiao Yi’s face as if he had seen a ghost.
"You... you... you are Chief Steward Xiao Yi?" the visitor exclaimed.
"Is it you?" Xiao Yi also recognized this person at a glance.
It was the same staff from Wind Shattering Hall he nearly bumped into a month earlier.
"It really is you, Chief Steward Xiao Yi." The staff member said in surprise, "You actually haven’t died."
Xiao Yi’s face instantly turned black with lines all across it, "Luckily, not dead."
With that, Xiao Yi bypassed this person and entered Wind Shattering Hall.
Unexpectedly, the person behind him quickly followed.
Xiao Yi frowned, "Didn’t you say you had a mission? Why follow me?"
The staff member exclaimed, "I was ordered by the Vice Hall Master to invite the other Vice Hall Masters for a meeting."
"With Chief Steward Xiao Yi returning, it’s naturally the most important matter."
"What happened to the Evil Cultivator? The eight Vice Hall Masters have discussed for many days without a strategy..."
Xiao Yi waved his hand, "Such matters of discussion can be handled by the Vice Hall Masters alone, I’ll leave once I submit the mission."
"Leave?" The staff member widened his eyes, "Chief Steward Xiao Yi, you mustn’t leave..."
With that, the staff member quickly ran to the inner hall.
Xiao Yi frowned, didn’t pay attention, and walked towards the Task Department.
Here was the main hall, where many Wind Masters gathered.
At the Task Department, a significant number of Wind Masters were also waiting to submit their missions.
Xiao Yi waited quietly by the side.
After a while, the previous staff member hurried back, "Chief Steward Xiao Yi, the Vice Hall Master requests your presence."
The staff member seemed afraid that Xiao Yi might really leave, exclaimed urgently.
This shout immediately changed the expressions of the surrounding Wind Masters.
"Chief Steward Xiao Yi?"
"Wasn’t he the one who followed the Eight Palace Martial Artists to besiege the Evil Cultivator?"
"But isn’t it rumored that he recklessly claimed to be able to trap the Evil Cultivator for half a month, only to be captured by the Evil Cultivator and die in the end?"
"How is it, he’s not dead after all?"
Around him, the discussions continued endlessly.
Xiao Yi’s face instantly turned dark.
"Chief Steward Xiao Yi, don’t mind," the staff member quickly said, "Everyone assumed you were dead, but you returning alive is a stroke of luck."
"Follow me to meet the Vice Hall Master."
Xiao Yi nodded and walked towards the inner hall.
Behind him, a group of Wind Masters still whispered among themselves.
"Seems this person indeed has some abilities. The Evil Cultivator couldn’t be dealt with by the eight Vice Hall Masters, yet he managed to escape back alive."
"However, this person’s face is rather thick-skinned."
"Clearly not strong enough, yet making bold claims, now what, he let the Evil Cultivator escape, Four-direction Domain will be in big trouble in the future."
"Does he even have the face to return to Wind Shattering Hall?"
Xiao Yi didn’t pay attention to such mocking remarks, walked directly into the inner hall.
In the inner hall, inside the study.
The Vice Hall Master sat solemnly at the desk.
As soon as Xiao Yi entered the study, he recognized the Vice Hall Master.
It was indeed one of the eight Vice Hall Masters who went together to Tianling Forest that day, the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall, extremely skilled in tracking.
"Actually returned alive."
The Vice Hall Master was shocked to see Xiao Yi standing alive before him, but then his face sank.
"You may go now," the Vice Hall Master waved to the staff member.
The staff member nodded and left.
"Alright, let’s hear it," the Vice Hall Master didn’t even let Xiao Yi sit but directly asked sternly.
"What exactly happened that day."
"After you failed to trap the Evil Cultivator, where did the Evil Cultivator take you?"
"And now, where is that Evil Cultivator?"
The Vice Hall Master asked his questions one after another.
...
Second update.
