Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1850: The Satisfied Saint Lord
"It’s the young master, it must be the young master."
Yiyi immediately stood up, about to rush out of the room.
However, just as her figure moved, she was restrained by a vast and overwhelming power.
The worried look on the woman’s face suddenly turned extremely cold upon hearing Yiyi’s words.
"That boy again?"
Yiyi said urgently, "I always feel that something has happened to the young master, I want to go and check it out."
"Check what?" The woman’s face turned cold.
Yiyi pleaded, "Since the young master has come to the Central Region, meeting him is just a matter of moments, I beg Master to grant this wish."
"You want to see him?" The woman sneered.
"Why should it be you to meet him? If he has the ability, he should come here to see you himself."
"You are the esteemed Holy Daughter of our Holy Moon Sect, why should you humble yourself? Why can’t he come of his own volition?"
"Moreover," the woman said coldly, "what business could that boy possibly have?"
"Haven’t you always had great faith in him? What are you worried about?"
"But..." Yiyi showed a face full of reluctance.
The woman chastised, "Enough, sit back down."
"I beg Master to grant this wish," Yiyi gritted her teeth and said.
"Must you provoke your Master to anger? Cough, cough." The woman shouted angrily, then her face flushed and she started coughing several times.
"Master." Yiyi’s face showed urgency, she hurried back to her original spot, caring for the woman and patting her back.
After a while, the woman waved her hand, "Have you forgotten how much I exhausted myself to help you break through, almost injuring myself?"
"Have you forgotten how I meticulously nurtured you over the years, day and night?"
"Yiyi hasn’t forgotten." Yiyi shook her head.
"Good then." The woman nodded, "Alright, no need to pat, I’m fine."
"You’ve always been obedient, except when it comes to that boy, you always make me angry, and you’re always off-balance."
"Sit down first."
"Yes, Master." Yiyi could only sit back down on the cushion, crossing her legs.
The woman slowed her tone, kindly saying, "I don’t oppose you meeting that boy."
"But now is not the time."
"According to what Cang Yue said, that boy set a three-year agreement, right?"
Yiyi nodded.
"Then that’s settled." The woman lightly laughed, "There’s at most a little over half a year left until the three-year agreement."
"If he has you in his heart, he will come as promised."
"If he doesn’t, going to find him is useless."
"Most men in the world are unfaithful, I just don’t want you to regret daily sorrow over him."
Yiyi seriously replied, "The young master will definitely come."
The woman snickered, "Since you have faith in him, what’s the harm in waiting another half a year."
"By then, you’ll know."
Yiyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but her face still showed immense confidence.
The woman smiled, "Alright, meditate in peace and strive to break through early."
"If he comes in half a year and sees you have achieved cultivation success, even stronger than him, he will be delighted."
"Hmm." The worry on Yiyi’s face disappeared, replaced by a bright smile.
She quickly sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began cultivating.
The woman, seeing this, smiled with satisfaction.
However, within that smile was a faint, hard-to-detect cold sneer.
She of course knew Xiao Yi would come for Yiyi, but she also knew better that Xiao Yi wouldn’t make it, wouldn’t have the life to come.
After thinking this, the woman stood up and left.
Out of the room, she casually set up a barrier.
Whoosh... a figure appeared out of thin air.
The woman stood with her hands behind her back, speaking in a deep voice, "How did it go?"
The figure was an old man, who nodded, "Reporting to Saint Lord, Xiao Yi is dead."
"In that Poisonous Land, his body has already turned to dust."
"I personally went to investigate and confirm, there is no mistake."
"However, the four elders of Mirror Flower Water Moon also died there, buried in that Poisonous Land."
The woman’s face slightly changed upon hearing this, "Four elders also dead? That boy actually had such capabilities?"
The woman paused, then coldly laughed, "But, as long as that boy is dead, it’s all worth it."
"There’s one more thing." The old man kneeled on one knee, reporting, "In the past ten days across the Central Region, there’s been torrential rain without stopping."
"It’s the same here in our Holy Moon Sect."
The woman’s brows furrowed upon hearing this, "Torrential rain for ten days, sweeping across the Central Region without ceasing?"
"Our Holy Moon Sect, though being an Outer World, also affected?"
The woman reached out her hand to feel the falling rain.
Under her perception, her face suddenly changed drastically.
"No good, it’s the Martial Arts Rain."
"Damn it."
The woman’s face instantly turned icy cold.
"Sect Master, what’s the Martial Arts Rain?" The old man, seeing the Saint Lord’s sudden change of expression, quickly asked in alarm.
The woman gritted her teeth, "The heavens are weeping."
"Damn it, that Crown has fallen."
The woman’s expression gradually became somewhat ugly, "Who on earth is so bold to dare strike before that Crown could fully grow and cause his fall?"
"With him gone, if the heavens change, who can stop it?"
"Who is that Crown?" The old man asked in confusion.
"Soul..." Just as the woman began to speak, she stopped herself, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, there’s no need for you to know."
"Recently in the Central Region, has any Supreme monster fallen?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The old man thought for a moment, then said, "No, only that Xiao Yi person."
"That Crown, is it him?"
"Him? No." The woman shook her head, sneering, "He’s not qualified."
"I checked his body when he was unconscious in the Eastern Domain back then."
"Twin Martial Souls, indeed impressive, and a purple peak sword-type soul, moreover a soul within a soul, containing demon beast aura."
"But, that’s still far from enough."
"If he were that Crown, how could he escape the perception of someone as old as me."
If Xiao Yi were here, he would be extremely shocked.
He had never expected that when he was unconscious back then, the woman had already sensed all his hidden cards.
"Enough." The woman fell silent for a moment, squinting her eyes.
"That Crown’s fall is a fact."
"But it doesn’t mean all hope is lost for our Holy Moon Sect, Yiyi is my hope."
"As long as she completely severs her Heart Demon and wholeheartedly inherits everything from me, reaching that Crown’s height in the future isn’t impossible."
After speaking, the woman’s eyes suddenly turned ice-cold to the extreme, "Is everything about that boy handled?"
"I don’t want a single word reaching Yiyi’s ears."
"Reporting to Saint Lord," the old man instantly replied, "We’ve long since firmly sealed everything about that Vice Master Xiao Yi."
"No one dares speak a word within the sect."
"Even when the Holy Daughter went out to train before, we covertly followed, and anyone who dared speak had been executed."
"If one person talks, their whole family is exterminated; if ten talk, we cleanse a city in blood."
"So far, only the Steward Cang Yue mentioned Vice Master Xiao Yi to the Holy Daughter back then, besides this, the Holy Daughter knows nothing about that Vice Master Xiao Yi."
"Hmm." The woman nodded in satisfaction.
"Uh." The old man hesitated, then said, "Steward Cang Yue has been imprisoned in the Holy Moon Prison for over two years, should we..."
The woman’s face turned icy, "Daring to gossip recklessly, almost causing the Holy Daughter’s Heart Demon to erupt, such a grave crime, not to be released for a hundred years."
"Understood." The old man nodded and obeyed respectfully.
The woman looked into the distance, smiling with satisfaction, "With half a year left, that boy won’t make it, and Yiyi will give up, her Heart Demon will be completely dispelled."
"Then she can peacefully inherit our Holy Moon Sect."
The woman stood with her hands behind her back, smiling contentedly.
