Soul Emperor Martial God

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet — Seven-Colored Martial Souls.

Each rank was vastly different.

The disparity was manageable up to green, but by the time one reached blue and indigo, the Martial Soul's power was already tremendous.

Not to mention the purple, just the blue and indigo alone were much stronger than the previous colors.

When Xiao Yi left the Xiao Family, his Martial Soul was green.

Till now, after more than a year had passed, only today, having absorbed the Martial Soul Power of over ten thousand Martial Artists, did he finally break through to the color blue.

One could imagine how big the gap was between the green and the blue.

Xiao Yi guessed that achieving blue for his Fire Control Beast after its current state of green would be even more difficult.

Martial Souls below the color yellow were basically of little use.

At the very least, one had to absorb green Martial Souls, or even blue Martial Souls, to be effective, and the quantity was definitely not small.

Blue Martial Souls, throughout the entire Flame Martial Kingdom, there were probably only a few Martial Artists who possessed them.

Xiao Yi was not in a hurry for the time being.

Now, he had to dispose of nearly 200,000 demon beast carcasses.

Such an abundance seemed troublesome, but for him, it was actually a piece of cake.

Bang, within ten thousand meters, the Spiritual Energy burst forth in an instant.

After breaking through to the Mysterious Profundity Realm, the true power that Martial Artists obtained was the ability to control the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy Restriction was just one of the means of that ability.

Under Xiao Yi's control, the Essence Blood and inner cores were extracted from the demon beast carcasses by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

And then, they were automatically stored into jade bottles and Qiankun Bags.

This was somewhat like telekinesis, but it was also a manifestation of the ability to control the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

In just a few seconds, the Essence Blood and inner cores of the 200,000 demon beast carcasses were completely collected.

Nearly 200,000 Third-level Inner Cores and Essence Blood.

More than a thousand Fourth-level Inner Cores and Essence Blood.

Of course, there were also the inner cores and Essence Blood of two Fiery Flame Mad Lions.

...

Returning to Green Light City.

Nie Rushan was directing the City Lords of the eighteen cities to restore order within the city.

The six large cities had a population of over several million.

The initial hasty evacuation had now been reorganized, which inevitably led to various confusions.

This was similar to the principle that destruction was easy, but construction was hard.

Of course, the efficiency of Nie Rushan and the City Lords of the eighteen cities was still very high.

It was estimated that in about four to five days, the six large cities would return to their former order.

At this moment, Xiao Yi came before them to bid farewell.

"Oh, Deacon Yi Xiao is leaving?" asked Liu Cangya and others.

"Mm, I have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't stay much longer," Xiao Yi said with a light smile.

"Kid, you're really not joining the Blood Blade Guard?" Nie Rushan seemed to have taken a particular liking to Xiao Yi.

"If you're willing to join, as the leader, I can decide to grant you one Earth Rank Martial Technique after we return to the county."

"Leader's kindness is appreciated, but I'm afraid I'm not destined for such fortune," Xiao Yi declined, "I'm used to being free and like to wander around."

"Ah, well, let it be," knowing that Yi Xiao was determined not to join the Blood Blade Guard, Nie Rushan gave up on the matter.

Xiao Yi departed, while saying goodbye to Captain Ning Hao and other Demon Hunting Captains, as well as Ye Ming.

They were all assisting the City Lords of the eighteen cities in restoring order within the cities.

Seeing Xiao Yi coming to say goodbye, they all stopped their tasks.

"Master Yi Xiao, won't you stay with the Gale Demon Hunting Team for a few more days? We'd warmly welcome you," Ning Hao urged him to stay.

Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled, "Captain Ning Hao, my trade with you will continue."

"Every three months, I will come to trade with you once."

"Alright, we will listen to Master Yi Xiao," Ning Hao nodded.

"I wonder if the other Captains are willing to continue trading with me?" Xiao Yi looked at the other Demon Hunting Captains.

The Demon Hunting Captains exchanged smiles and then respectfully bowed to Xiao Yi.

"It's our honor to trade with Master Yi Xiao."

"Moreover, Master Yi Xiao is generous, offering a price that's usually ten percent higher than the norm."

"Why would we refuse such an offer?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Then, just like with Captain Ning Hao, I will trade with you every three months."

"We'll heed Master Yi Xiao's instructions," the Demon Hunting Captains bowed again.

At that moment, Ye Ming spoke, "Brother Yi, I'm also leaving Green Light City soon, and I have to take my junior brothers back to the Sword Sect."

"I don't know where you're going, Brother Yi, but if it's on the way, let's travel together."

"You and I are both Pharmacists, and although I don't think my Alchemy Technique compares to yours, we can still exchange knowledge."

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "It's not the same way, I still have things to do."

Ye Ming showed a look of disappointment on his face and said, "Since that's the case, I won't trouble you, Brother Yi."

"Just, may I know what important matter you have? If Ye Ming can be of help, just say the word."

Clearly, Ye Ming was very eager to be friends with Xiao Yi after the multiple times Xiao Yi had helped before.

"It's just a small matter," Xiao Yi smiled.

With those words, Xiao Yi vanished on the spot.

But, he didn't leave Green Light City, instead...

He headed to Shengbao Trading House.

...

In the eighteen cities of Eastern Desolate, Shengbao Trading House was located in the center of Green Light City.

Outside the eighteen cities of Eastern Desolate, demon beasts rampaged, so Demon Hunters were numerous, and many Martial Artists also came here to train.

The thriving commerce here was thus established.

Especially the frequent trading of demon beast cores, essence blood, fur, flesh, and such.

Elixirs, auxiliary items, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, too, were selling like hot cakes.

Shengbao Trading House, being the largest trading company in Northern Mountain County,

naturally held a monopoly here.

Almost dominating half the business of the eighteen cities.

Such a large business, naturally, drew the covetous eyes of many and even the enmity of other commercial families.

Yet, no one ever dared to harbor the slightest dissatisfaction with Shengbao Trading House.

Because, stationed here, was Murong Ke, acclaimed as the top martial artist below the Mystic Breakthrough Realm.

No one dared to create trouble here.

However, all of this was about to be rewritten today.

...

Xiao Yi, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared at the most central and conspicuous location within Shengbao Trading House.

In front of the exhibition stage.

The people from the six cities had all evacuated, and the personnel from Shengbao Trading House were no exception.

Now that they had returned, the trading house was bustling again.

Murong Ke, who had been dealing with various affairs in a flustered manner,

immediately stopped his work as soon as he saw Xiao Yi. My Virtual Library Empire (M V L E M P Y R) appreciates your readership at the source.

He had already become aware of Xiao Yi's purpose for coming here.

"Purple Flame, do you think you can take advantage of the situation?" Murong Ke asked coldly.

The guards of Shengbao Trading House immediately became alert.

However, they dispersed under Murong Ke's scolding.

He knew very well that the current Yi Xiao was not someone they could stop.

He could only use words, attempting to 'persuade' Yi Xiao to retreat.

"Take advantage of the situation? Hehe," Xiao Yi replied with a light laugh.

"Deacon Murong Ke, the punch you gave Yi some months ago,"

"I still remember it vividly, as if it were just yesterday."

Hearing this, Murong Ke's complexion turned unsightly as he said, "What do you want?"

"Nothing much," said Xiao Yi lightly, "Yi is a man who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and grudges. You and Murong Sha both know that."

"You hit me with one punch; I will return one punch."

"But, I wonder, Deacon Murong Ke, whether you can withstand one punch from me?"

Xiao Yi's tone was as calm as water.

But Murong Ke was immediately startled; he knew very well that with Yi Xiao's strength, since he could trap two Fiery Flame Mad Lions for half a day.

He could also take his life with a single punch.

"Deacon Murong Ke, you need not be afraid," Xiao Yi said with a faint smile.

"I reckon all the goods in this Shengbao Trading House should be enough to exchange for your life."

"You mean..." Murong Ke's face changed, already guessing what Yi Xiao intended to do.

"Purple Flame, do you really want to offend Shengbao Trading House and be hunted down?"

"Hmph," Xiao Yi snorted coldly, his indifferent gaze turning murderously intense, "As you please."

The next second, a sky full of Purple Flame poured out.

Precisely engulfing every martial artist of Shengbao Trading House.

"Murong Ke, I will spare your life this time because we once defended Green Light City together and fought side by side."

"Otherwise, do you think you would still be standing here talking?"

Previously, with Murong Ke's Half-step Breaking Profound Cultivation, one punch had severely injured Xiao Yi.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Gale Demon Hunting Team, Xiao Yi would have had to reveal his trump card.

And if Xiao Yi had no trump card, he would undoubtedly have died that day.

This grudge, Xiao Yi would not let go so easily.

Today, he only took the goods and spared their lives, which was already merciful.

"I will not kill you, but, if you seek death yourselves, you can't blame me."

After Xiao Yi spoke, with a wave of his hand, spiritual energy went berserk instantly.

Every exhibit stand shattered thunderously.

Every treasure cabinet opened on its own.

Including the goods in the back hall of the trading house, they all floated over automatically.

In less than ten seconds, the enormous trading house was emptied of all goods.

Murong Ke and the others had flames in their eyes, yet dared not make any moves.

The Purple Flame surrounding them was terrifying beyond measure.

If they were to touch even a bit, they would either die or be gravely injured.

"Eh? What is this?" Xiao Yi suddenly frowned.

In his perception, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy he controlled seemed to encounter a bit of resistance.

There was one item that was not being drawn to him automatically.

Clearly, that item was protected by a prohibition.

"Break," Xiao Yi uttered coldly.

A sound as if a bubble burst echoed through the air.

One item slowly drifted from the back hall of Shengbao Trading House.

It was a ring, emitting a misty light, clearly no ordinary object.

Xiao Yi recognized it instantly, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

"A Universe Ring, a hundred times more precious than a high-level Qiankun Bag, tsk tsk."
