Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1574: The Eccentric Senior

"Hmm? Why doesn’t that guy have any aura?"

The Fire Teeth Sect disciple looked quizzically at Xiao Yi’s back.

But the next second, the Fire Teeth Sect disciple shook his head again, "Heh, just an illusion, there’s nothing to worry about with a mere Saint King Realm Eighth Layer Martial Artist."

Ahead, Xiao Yi walked on, narrowing his eyes beneath the wide black robe.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly just now.

He had forgotten that when wearing the Ghost Mask, his aura would vanish completely.

Ordinarily, walking around like this didn’t matter in the slightest.

Moreover, no one would randomly try to sense another’s aura for no reason.

But now that he needed to investigate thoroughly inside the Fire Teeth Sect, he had specially changed into a wide black robe.

Luckily, he reacted swiftly and immediately condensed a slight aura around himself.

This aura wasn’t particularly strong, approximately at the Saint King Realm Eighth Layer level.

This was also why the Fire Teeth Sect disciple sensed Xiao Yi’s cultivation at the Saint King Realm Eighth Layer.

Normally, such a method is useless for a Martial Artist.

Because Martial Artists have their own aura, condensing a weaker aura wouldn’t conceal their true aura.

However, wearing the Ghost Mask now, he had no aura.

Therefore, the aura he now condensed became the only aura on him.

Naturally, when others sensed him, they would perceive it at this level.

Furthermore, Xiao Yi cautiously did not use his own Primordial Power to condense it.

Instead, he held several Emperor-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Emperor-grade Elixirs, using these pure substances to condense the aura.

This aura adhered to the outside of the wide black robe.

Unexpectedly, if someone were interested in him, trying to sense him, what they would perceive would be the pure herbal aura.

In other words, he would be taken as an Alchemist with a Saint King Realm Eighth Layer cultivation.

Beneath the wide black robe, Xiao Yi grinned with satisfaction.

He was confident that his disguise was sufficient.

...

All the way up the mountain gate of the Fire Teeth Sect.

Numerous Martial Artists could be seen also heading towards the Fire Teeth Sect.

At this moment, Xiao Yi noticed that among the mostly normal Martial Artists, there were occasionally some Evil Cultivators mixed in.

Of course, these Evil Cultivators wore normal clothes and their faces appeared just like ordinary Martial Artists.

But Xiao Yi, having interacted with so many Evil Cultivators these days, could naturally recognize them at a glance from various details.

In such a vast territory, he couldn’t discern the tracks of those Evil Cultivators and had to rely on sensing by the form of Heaven and Earth Power.

But when facing these Evil Cultivators at close range, Xiao Yi could recognize them instantly.

Perhaps, among the Eight Palace Martial Artists, no one other than him could understand these Evil Cultivators so thoroughly, even those stronger than him in the palaces.

With extensive contact, he’s developed a certain intuition.

As Xiao Yi walked, he pondered.

Suddenly, a figure collided head-on from the side.

However, the impact was not strong, and the figure seemed somewhat petite.

Therefore, Xiao Yi was unaffected, but the figure was pushed back two steps by the recoil.

"Ah, sorry." The figure quickly apologized.

The figure was a woman.

She wore rough linen clothes, nothing special about them.

She appeared indistinguishable from the ordinary Martial Artists walking around the Fire Teeth Sect’s mountain gate.

At this moment, after apologizing, the woman walked towards him.

Bang...

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi’s palm swiftly reached out from the wide black robe, grabbing the woman’s wrist.

"What are you doing?" The woman’s face showed anger.

Xiao Yi, hidden within the wide black robe, narrowed his eyes, "Young lady, before you leave, you might want to return my Universe Ring first."

A flash of surprise crossed the woman’s face, and she then frowned, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Young girl, stealing outside the Fire Teeth Sect, you’re quite bold."

"You..." The woman wanted to retort, but seeing Xiao Yi’s sinister figure fully covered in the black robe, with only a pair of cold eyes visible, she couldn’t help but tremble.

Moreover, his voice was so old and hoarse, and the robe was stained with the scent of Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It seemed this was an eccentric Alchemist.

Many renowned Alchemists are elderly men.

Among them, some are eccentric, disliking conversation, avoiding strangers, and spending their lives only interacting with herbs, toxic plants, and demon beast corpses.

In short, intuition told her that this person in the black robe was very dangerous.

"Gulp." The woman couldn’t help but swallow, trembling as she opened her hand.

In her palm was indeed a Universe Ring.

"Here... Senior, your Universe Ring is returned." The woman spoke with a hint of pleading.

Xiao Yi took it, and the woman immediately turned to leave.

Xiao Yi still held her wrist, his voice cold and hoarse, "Not this one."

As he said this, Xiao Yi inwardly smiled wryly, this woman was quite clever, trying to swap a void ring with him.

If it weren’t for his caution, never letting go, she would have disappeared after he took the Universe Ring.

"Oh, sorry senior, I took the wrong one." A sly smile flashed across the woman’s face as she easily brushed the matter off.

The woman pulled out another Universe Ring from her hand.

Xiao Yi took it and released his hold on the woman.

The woman sighed with relief, turned, and walked away.

"Wait." Xiao Yi said hoarsely.

The woman stopped in confusion.

Xiao Yi said sternly, "Accompany me for a while, after this grand event of the Fire Teeth, I’ll let you go."

"Senior, you..." The woman suddenly got angry, "Senior, I’ve returned your belongings, what more do you want?"

Even a clay figure has its limits, let alone a Martial Artist.

"Kekeke." Xiao Yi chuckled coldly, "The Sky Wind Fox, a rare Martial Soul."

"To an Alchemist, a Martial Artist with such a Martial Soul, their blood is a treasure..."

Before Xiao Yi could finish.

The woman’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly gestured for silence, then anxiously glanced around, fearing that surrounding Martial Artists might hear.

"Senior, tell me truthfully, what do you want to do?" The woman said with a bitter smile, "I have no treasures and only offended the senior slightly, why make things difficult for me?"

"Just follow me." Xiao Yi’s hoarse words carried an impatient tone.

"If you dare take a single step without my permission, I guarantee before you leave the mountain gate of the Fire Teeth Sect, you’ll be a drained corpse."

The woman trembled, hurriedly following, not daring to speak further.

Xiao Yi glanced at the woman, snorting coldly.

The woman showed fear, sticking closely beside Xiao Yi, "What orders does senior have?"

"Are you a local martial artist from the Fire Teeth Territory?" Xiao Yi asked sternly.

"Yes." The woman nodded, her eyes welling with tears, "Since childhood, I was an orphan, losing my parents at a young age."

"It was hard enough to gain a little cultivation, but I still faced derision and bullying, surviving only by theft..."

"Be quiet." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

"I’m asking you, what’s this grand event of the Fire Teeth?"

"Huh?" The woman was stunned, her teary eyes drying up instantly.

"Senior is an outsider martial artist?"

...

First update.
