Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1851: Ice Crystal Holy Pill
The torrential rain continues to fall, drop by drop, ceaselessly.
The sky, apart from nighttime, remains a dim gray at all other times.
The oppressive atmosphere always gives a sense of unease.
Beneath the unease lies an inexplicable sense of desolation and depression.
This day, weeps for the fallen comrade who once stood shoulder to shoulder with him, grieving and disappointed.
Within the Asura Territory, inside the Asura Main Hall.
In the chambers of the Master of the Main Hall.
The Asura Hall Master, hands behind his back, gazes at a corner of the room.
There, a Divine Weapon Sword prominently hangs.
Purple radiance surges on the sword, crackling with electric flashes.
The power is not very great.
The surging purple radiance wraps around only a few inches of the sword body; the flickering purple electricity buzzes only within a few inches.
Perhaps, this Divine Weapon also mourns, softly lamenting for its former master.
The Wind Shattering Palace Master gazed for a few moments, then withdrew his gaze, sighed, and looked at the Asura Hall Master, "I am leaving."
I am leaving, these mere ’three words’, yet they feel somewhat heavy.
The Asura Hall Master said nothing, only nodded.
Just at that moment.
Outside the room, a Main Hall Master came to report.
"To report to the two Masters of the Main Hall, someone seeks an audience."
"Who?" The two Hall Masters slightly frowned.
Those who would come to seek an audience with them are not ordinary.
Could it be, another major event in the Central Region?
The Main Hall Master hesitated for a moment, then said, "I do not know, but it is a woman, holding Vice Master Xiao Yi’s token."
"Is it her?" The two Hall Masters, instantly recognized the visitor.
"Let her come in." The Asura Hall Master waved his hand, his tone somewhat complex.
Soon.
A woman in white came swiftly.
Dressed in white, her figure light and graceful, yet her steps seemed unusually heavy.
It was Senior Swordswoman.
The two Hall Masters, upon seeing the appearance of Senior Swordswoman, were at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.
Even though their cultivation was immense, in front of them, this woman was not much stronger than an ant.
But looking at the situation, it seemed the woman was overpowering them.
Especially the token in the woman’s hand, making their expressions even more complex.
"I am here to ask one thing." Senior Swordswoman broke the silence first.
"Is Xiao Yi truly dead?"
Senior Swordswoman’s tone was cold, with a trace of skepticism.
The two Hall Masters paused for a moment.
"Yes." The Asura Hall Master nodded.
"Are you certain?" Senior Swordswoman’s eyes were sharp, staring at the two.
"Yes." The Asura Hall Master nodded again.
Hearing this, Senior Swordswoman took a deep breath, her exquisite face showing a myriad of expressions.
Her piercing eyes continued to stare at the two.
The two Hall Masters also remained silent.
The most outstanding young Heavenly Talent of their two halls, the successor they had appointed, was now dead.
And now, the elder of this young talent’s family had come to their doorstep.
The feelings of the two Hall Masters naturally became more complex.
"I’m sorry." This time, the Asura Hall Master broke the silence first, saying.
"Sorry? Not necessary." Senior Swordswoman shook her head coldly.
The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s heart trembled, and he spoke, "We did not wish for Xiao Yi’s death either."
"He had promised us he would handle these matters himself and return safely to the Main Hall."
"It is our fault for not considering thoroughly, and you can blame us for not protecting him..."
"I said, no need." Senior Swordswoman interrupted coldly.
The token in her hand was raised.
With a clang, the token was brusquely thrown onto the desk where the Master of the Main Hall was reviewing documents.
"I have one more question, if Xiao Yi is dead, can this token still be used?"
"Do the task points and achievements within the token still count?"
"Of course." The two Hall Masters nodded.
"Then that’s fine." Senior Swordswoman said concisely, "Convert all the task points and achievements in the token into cultivation items for me."
"All must be of Ice Attribute."
"I know that the task points in Xiao Yi’s token are extremely large, but I imagine your two main halls’ treasury can provide these cultivation items."
"Rest assured." The Wind Shattering Palace Master nodded.
With that, the two Hall Masters each took out a token from their bosoms.
The two tokens were those recording Xiao Yi in the Asura Main Hall and the Wind Shattering Main Hall.
However, unlike the token of Senior Swordswoman.
Now, these two tokens were devoid of any breath.
When Xiao Yi ’died’, the prohibition in the two tokens in the Main Hall had already dissipated, leaving no breath remaining.
And the token that belonged to Xiao Yi himself had already been given to Senior Swordswoman.
This token represented Xiao Yi’s identity in both halls, holding its breath, proving his identity as a martial artist, hence whether Xiao Yi was dead or not, it would not dissipate.
"Sigh." The two Hall Masters, looking at the two tokens now devoid of any breath, sighed again.
"Chengfeng, you and Hengtian go once." The Wind Shattering Palace Master instructed.
Speaking, he looked at Senior Swordswoman, "Within our capabilities, we will try to compensate..."
"I said, no need." Senior Swordswoman interrupted again.
"Exchange only what the task points in the token warrant, not a penny more."
"I’m not interested in your favor."
The Wind Shattering Palace Master was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Chengfeng, go."
"Wait." Said Senior Swordswoman coldly, "In the two halls, are there any Martial Arts Saint Pills available for exchange?"
"Martial Arts Saint Pill?"
"Ice Attribute." Senior Swordswoman added.
"There is." The Wind Shattering Palace Master nodded, looking at Chengfeng Hall Master.
Chengfeng Hall Master nodded, ready to leave.
"Chengfeng." The Asura Hall Master suddenly called out to Chengfeng Hall Master, "You and Hengtian go to the treasury, only retrieve cultivation items."
"Oh?" Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master were stunned.
"Hmm?" Senior Swordswoman frowned.
The Asura Hall Master took a deep breath, a light flashed in his hand.
A Martial Arts Saint Pill appeared in his hand.
The entire saint pill, perfectly round and translucent, emitted a pure white glow, which carried an icy aura.
It looked more like a sparkling gemstone than a Martial Arts Saint Pill.
"Old Asura, this Martial Arts Saint Pill is..." The Wind Shattering Palace Master’s face changed as he glanced at it.
The Asura Hall Master waved his hand, indicating to the Wind Shattering Palace Master not to say more.
The Martial Arts Saint Pill transformed into a stream of light, shimmering before Senior Swordswoman.
Senior Swordswoman did not take it, her face cold, "I said, I do not want your favor."
"No need to take it as a favor." The Asura Hall Master shook his head, "This is compensation I give to Xiao Yi."
"You are his elder, so you may accept it on his behalf."
Upon hearing this, Senior Swordswoman thought for a moment, then gracefully accepted the Martial Arts Saint Pill.
The Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master departed.
Soon, they returned, taking out 10 Universe Rings, handing them to Senior Swordswoman.
