Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 697: The Princess Requests Your Presence

"Situ Weifeng, mind your own business," said Xiao Yi dismissively.

The plump young man, Chen Yuan, with a large palm, shoved Situ Weifeng aside.

However, it was clear that Situ Weifeng was a Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist.

And Chen Yuan was merely a Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artist.

Therefore, Chen Yuan’s push failed to move Situ Weifeng.

"Situ Weifeng, have you brought your company’s guards here to intervene?" the elder by Chen Yuan’s side coldly questioned.

"The Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit is very useful to my young master."

"If the Golden Wind Trading Company does not want trouble, they should get out immediately."

"Manager Chen must be joking," Situ Weifeng said with a smile still on his face, bowing slightly.

Manager Chen, the elder in the Realm of the Peak of Heavenly Origin, was the same man who had bid against Xiao Yi in the auction.

"This young friend won something at my Golden Wind Trading Company’s auction, and naturally, it is our duty to protect him fully."

"Manager Chen, being a senior in the trading business, you must surely know the rules," Situ Weifeng said earnestly.

"Quit your yapping," Chen Yuan shouted coldly, "Situ Weifeng, you and your petty Golden Wind Trading Company dare to speak to me of rules?"

"Get out."

Situ Weifeng furrowed his brow but did not step aside.

His anxious eyes briefly glanced at Xiao Yi.

Just then, Manager Chen suddenly struck out with his palm.

Caught off-guard, Situ Weifeng spat blood and was sent flying.

"Hmph, my young master told you to get out, and since you did not listen, I’ll help you out," Manager Chen said with a chilling smile.

Immediately, the group of ferocious warriors behind him blocked the guards of the Golden Wind Trading Company.

Chen Yuan, with an arrogant look, slowly approached Xiao Yi.

"Boy, will you hand over the Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit willingly, or should I take it myself?"

Manager Chen coldly said, "The Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit was also won by you previously, wasn’t it?"

"Hand them both over."

"On what basis?" Xiao Yi had not even spoken when Du Youyou immediately shouted angrily.

"You couldn’t win against us at the auction, so now you resort to robbery and violence."

"What crap is Gale Trading Company?"

"How dare you!" Chen Yuan shouted in anger.

"You wretched girl, dare to insult my Gale Trading Company, do you want me to tear your mouth off?"

"Take her down."

"Yes," Manager Chen responded, his aged palm reaching out like an eagle’s talon towards Du Youyou.

"You wretched girl, let this old man teach you the consequences of your careless words."

At that moment, a powerful, pale hand extended gently.

Effortlessly, it caught the old man’s hand.

The one who had intervened was Xiao Yi.

"Who are you to teach my disciple?" Xiao Yi’s cold eyes stared intensely at Manager Chen.

"The Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm?" Manager Chen looked at Xiao Yi in surprise.

He couldn’t discern Xiao Yi’s true level of Cultivation.

"What does it matter if it is the Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm?" Chen Yuan said disdainfully, his hand emitting a burst of light.

Within the light, a fierce and aggressive aura suddenly struck.

The strength of the aura far surpassed that of the Peak of Heavenly Origin Realm.

"You two insects, go die," Chen Yuan sneered.

The terrifying aura struck directly at Xiao Yi.

Clearly, Chen Yuan intended to kill both Xiao Yi and Du Youyou.

"You’re seeking death," Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, and he released a burst of Sword Qi.

Bang...

The Sword Qi collided with the light in Chen Yuan’s hand, creating a loud noise.

The light and the terrifying aura instantly dissipated.

The Sword Qi, however, continued fiercely and flashed past.

By the time the Sword Qi had dissipated, Bang... Bang...

Both Chen Yuan and Manager Chen had fallen to the ground, lifeless.

"Let’s go," Xiao Yi said indifferently, leaving with Du Youyou.

The surrounding onlookers were visibly shocked.

"Chen... Did Young Master Chen die?"

"The Eldest Young Master of Gale Trading Company, was he killed?"

Even the group of warriors who had fiercely blocked the company’s guards were momentarily stunned.

Several seconds later, the group of Martial Artists finally looked horrified.

"Damn it, the young master is dead, capture those two quickly, or our lives are at stake, the Family Head will not spare us."

Immediately, the Martial Artists flickered toward Xiao Yi.

They had forgotten that even Manager Chen was no match for Xiao Yi.

Wasn’t their action akin to courting death?

Suddenly, a squad of City Guards hurried over.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

A group of City Guards, drawing their swords, surrounded the Martial Artists.

"City Guards? Get out of the way." The Martial Artists were not afraid of the City Guards and met their gazes coldly.

"If you let the murderer of our young master escape, can you bear the responsibility?"

The host of City Guards made no move but still encircled them.

Among them, a City Guard Captain quickly approached Xiao Yi.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, Princess Fengxu requests your presence," said the City Guard Captain, bowing to Xiao Yi.

"Princess Fengxu?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"I don’t know her, nor am I interested."

Xiao Yi shook his head, preparing to turn away.

At that moment, a middle-aged man emerged from among the guests.

"Xiao Yi, hold on," said the middle-aged man, who was Prince Fenghua.

"Prince Fenghua?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

Prince Fenghua moved closer to Xiao Yi and whispered, "Xiao Yi, you’ve caused a big trouble."

"You dared to kill the Eldest Young Master of Gale Trading Company?

"Why shouldn’t I?" Xiao Yi replied indifferently. "He wanted to kill me and my disciple; he should be prepared to be killed by me."

Prince Fenghua urgently said, "Gale Trading Company is not as simple as you think and is certainly no easy mark; you can’t afford to provoke them."

"Go with the City Guards to meet Princess Fengxu; it might save your life."

"No need." Xiao Yi shook his head. "After tomorrow’s Fengxu refining competition, I will leave."

Prince Fenghua whispered, "This Fengxu refining competition is being held by Princess Fengxu herself."

"You’ll have to meet her eventually."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi was slightly surprised.

He actually had lost interest in participating in the Fengxu refining competition.

However, he had to wait until Du Youyou had finished participating before leaving.

"Let’s go," Xiao Yi told the City Guard Captain.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, this way please," the City Guard Captain led the way.

Before long, Xiao Yi and Du Youyou arrived outside the Royal Palace.

Outside the Royal Palace, a group of soldiers clad in blue armor stopped everyone.

Judging by their aura, they were all Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists.

"By order of Princess Fengxu, bring Young Master Xiao Yi to Fengxu Palace," said the City Guard Captain.

The soldiers in blue armor nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao Yi may enter; the rest must stop here." freёnovelkiss.com

"Yes," the City Guard Captain saluted.

"This young lady, please hold back," one of the blue-armored soldiers stopped Du Youyou.

Xiao Yi frowned, turned around, and said, "Youyou, let’s go."

"What do you mean, Young Master Xiao Yi?" asked the soldier in armor, frowning.

"If you won’t let my disciple in, then I won’t enter either," Xiao Yi said coldly.

The armored soldier said sternly, "Young Master Xiao Yi, the Royal Palace is off-limits to outsiders."

"I am also an outsider," Xiao Yi said coldly, and without looking back, he walked away with Du Youyou.

Du Youyou tugged at Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, go ahead, I’ll wait here."

"Princess Fengxu is the most talented genius in our Fengxu Kingdom; it’s rare for someone to meet her."

"Moreover, she might have something important to discuss with you."

"If we’ve never met, what could be so important?" Xiao Yi shook his head.

Du Youyou pleaded, "Xiao Yi, please go, Princess Fengxu is revered as a genius by all the young people in our Fengxu Kingdom."

"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Wait for me here, and don’t wander off."

"Okay," Du Youyou nodded.

Xiao Yi glanced coldly at the armored soldier, "My disciple is waiting here; if anything happens to her, the consequences..."

"Young Master Xiao Yi, rest assured," the City Guard Captain assured. "The Royal Palace is heavily guarded; Miss Youyou will be safe here."

Xiao Yi nodded and walked into the Royal Palace.
