Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 694: Fengxu Capital

Upon reaching the edge of the ancient relics, Xiao Yi casually waved his hand.

A crack appeared.

Xiao Yi and Du Youyou silently exited the relic.

Outside of the relic, countless martial artists were waiting.

Some were independent martial artists, some from families, and others from the Wind Shattering Hall, like Wind Masters and so on, numbering at least ten thousand.

"Damn it, those people from the Wind Dance Sword Sect were so domineering earlier, blocking the entrance; just when that old bastard left, the relic automatically sealed itself."

Swearing could be heard incessantly among the martial artists.

The so-called old bastard they referred to must be Elder Xun.

"That elder from Wind Dance Sword Sect rushed out in such a panic earlier; there must be great danger inside."

"I think the relic is so eerie, it’s better not to enter."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is an ancient relic."

"If we can obtain treasures from inside, our strength will surely leap."

"If we can obtain the inheritance from inside, becoming an unparalleled strong person someday isn’t impossible."

Some martial artists were arguing.

"Let’s wait a bit longer, perhaps it won’t be long before the relic opens again."

A group of martial artists still chose to wait.

However, no one noticed two figures weaving through the crowd, slowly leaving.

The two figures were none other than Xiao Yi and Du Youyou.

Naturally, the relic was sealed by Xiao Yi.

Before he even recovered from his injuries, he had taken control of the relic and sealed it.

Before leaving, he had specially set up several prohibition barriers and formations inside the relic.

Since obtaining the Martial Arts Knowledge from the Heavenly Flame Formation Master, he had also tried to understand formations.

However, mastering it thoroughly would be time-consuming.

Thus, Xiao Yi only delved into it during his spare time.

Though not comparable to some array masters, he had achieved some minor accomplishments in the field of formations.

Of course, formations could not stop some real powerhouses.

But for these ordinary martial artists outside, they could forget about entering.

Moreover, the relic itself had hidden prohibitions; before long, it would vanish and relocate by itself.

In the relic of the Poisonous Saint, inheritances and treasures were already gone.

Since it was his resting place, there was no need to let outsiders disturb it.

...

The two had already left.

Leaving Fenghua County, they headed toward the Fengxu Capital.

An hour and a half was ample time for Xiao Yi.

While traveling, they killed demon beasts and completed tasks for the Asura Hall.

Fenghua County was roughly several counties away from Fengxu Capital.

Xiao Yi had now recovered his cultivation, and with his speed, he could traverse the entire Fengxu Kingdom in less than half an hour.

But he deliberately controlled it so that it took about three days to pass through each county.

Moreover, Xiao Yi did not stay in cities.

Upon reaching a county, he would go directly to the Asura Hall to submit and receive tasks, then head straight to the Demon Beast Forest.

Firstly, to kill more demon beasts, collect Demon Beast Essence Blood, and incidentally complete tasks for the Asura Hall.

Secondly, it was also to guide Du Youyou along the way, allowing Du Youyou to gain experience in the Demon Beast Forest.

It is worth mentioning that within the Fengxu Kingdom, indeed, there were many Wind Shattering Halls, each county having more than a dozen branches.

While the Asura Hall, almost had only one or two branches per county.

An hour and a half later, time swiftly passed.

Xiao Yi, along with Du Youyou, arrived at Fengxu Capital.

Along the way, Xiao Yi had collected a large amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

It is also worth mentioning that in the relic of the Poisonous Saint, although he had recovered his cultivation,

his physical strength had not fully recovered.

Underneath the formidable physique, injuries were either rare or, once occurred, extremely difficult to heal.

Up until now, he had only managed to recover about 80 percent of his physical strength by transforming Demon Beast Essence Blood into Asura Power.

Approximately around the level of Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer.

But this was no longer very important, as his cultivation had recovered.

Physical strength was slowly recovering.

Additionally, the crack on the Blizzard Sword had also recovered through his days of nurturing.

The crack was very faint to begin with.

After nurturing it with Pure Element Power for over a month, it naturally healed.

At this time, the two arrived outside the Fengxu Capital.

The City Guards stopped them.

In any kingdom, the capital was of utmost importance and heavily guarded.

"Please present your identity proof," the City Guard said politely, his voice carrying an air of authority.

Xiao Yi pulled out his Asura Warrior Token.

The City Guard took it and looked toward Du Youyou, "And yours?"

Du Youyou stood frozen, then said, "I am a martial artist from the Du Family in Breeze City, here to participate in the refining competition."

"Breeze City? Never heard of it," said the City Guard solemnly. "Please present your proof."

"Alternatively, if you really are here to participate in the grand competition of Fengxu, you can wait for the prince of the county to bring you in."

This grand competition would see participants from each county being personally led by their princes to the capital.

However, Xiao Yi and Du Youyou had come on their own.

"Ah, this... The Prince of Fenghua County might have entered already," Du Youyou panicked.

Xiao Yi had timed the journey precisely.

Arriving at the Fengxu Capital today, just as the competition in the capital would start tomorrow.

The Prince of Fenghua County would not dare to time it so closely, having already entered the capital several days earlier.

"It seems, you will have to wait outside the capital," Xiao Yi looked at Du Youyou and chuckled lightly.

"Don’t worry, it won’t be long. After I participate in the refining competition, I will come out to find you."

"Ah? No good," Du Youyou shook her head vigorously.

"I traveled all this way; not being able to enter the capital would be embarrassing."

"Master, can you take me with you?"

"Heh," Xiao Yi chuckled faintly and looked toward the City Guard.

At that moment, the City Guard was inspecting Xiao Yi’s token.

After a long while, the City Guard exclaimed in astonishment, "A Seventh-level Asura Warrior?"

"How is that possible."

Xiao Yi said calmly, "She’s with me, can she enter?"

"Of course," the City Guard respectfully returned the token to Xiao Yi, saying, "Esteemed sir, and this lady, please come in."

Xiao Yi retrieved his token and entered the capital with Du Youyou.

"Wow, is this the capital?" Du Youyou’s face was full of curiosity.

"It’s much bigger and prettier than our Breeze City."

"There are also many strong people here, randomly anyone could be at the Mystic Breakthrough Realm."

Du Youyou, like a country girl seeing the world for the first time, drew the attention of passersby.

The two arrived in front of the Asura Hall’s main hall in the capital.

Xiao Yi said, "Youyou, listen carefully, just stand here and wait for me, don’t wander off."

"Okay," Du Youyou promptly responded.

"Remember, you don’t have an identity proof. If you get lost, it’s not my responsibility," Xiao Yi said to scare her.

Then, he entered the Asura Hall.

At the Task Department, he handed over his token.

The staff member took it, checked it, and widened his eyes, "Not bad, lad."

"In just over a month, you have completed so many demon hunting tasks."

"You must have swept through the Demon Beast Forest from Fenghua County all the way here."

"Tsk tsk, so young and already a Seventh-level Asura Warrior."

Xiao Yi smiled, said nothing.

He took back his token, collected the bounty, accepted some more tasks, and then left.

Indeed, his current rank was that of a Seventh-level Asura Warrior.

The ranking of warriors in the Asura Hall required the completion of sufficient tasks and amassing a large number of merits before one could be promoted.

On his journey to the capital, he had not recieved any Level 8 tasks.

Of course, there were also no Level 8 demon beasts in the Demon Beast Forest along the way.

Thus, he had not been promoted to a Level 8 Asura Warrior.

...

Second release.
