Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 666: Ancient Eight Halls

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi gradually came to, but his consciousness was still somewhat hazy.

After collecting his thoughts, his head began to clear a bit.

He found himself lying in a bed.

Ahead, there was a desk, and in front of the desk, a young woman had her back to him, seemingly fiddling with something.

The woman, dressed in light clothes, appeared to be quite young.

At that moment, the woman heard Xiao Yi’s faint ’hmm’ sound and turned around.

"Young Master, you’re awake," she said, somewhat surprised.

"Who is Miss?" Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman, around 17 or 18 years old.

Her features were delicate, not stunning enough to sink fish or fall geese, but still quite beautiful.

"Just call me Youyou," the woman said with a sweet smile.

"And you, Young Master?"

"I..." Xiao Yi was about to say something.

The door creaked open.

An elderly man walked in slowly, looking at Xiao Yi with displeasure on his face.

Though Xiao Yi felt puzzled, he still turned to the young woman and asked, "Miss Youyou, why do I find myself here?"

The woman smiled and said, "Young Master, you were just floating in the eastern sea."

"I happened to be there collecting a Water attribute Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, and I saw you, so I fished you back."

As she spoke, the woman extended her slender white hand and made a ’swaying’ gesture.

"Young Master, you don’t know," the woman continued with enthusiasm, "when I saw you, there happened to be a Near-Sea Snake King by your side."

"That’s a Fourth-level Demon Beast, very ferocious, nearly swallowed you whole."

"Fortunately, I went and drove it away..."

The woman excitedly recounted the events.

Xiao Yi began to understand.

He had left the chaotic space and landed in this sea.

At that time, he had been seriously injured and passed out.

It was the young woman in front of him who had rescued him.

"By the way, Young Master, you haven’t told me your name yet," the woman inquired.

"Xiao Yi," Xiao Yi replied absentmindedly, still thinking about his situation.

"Xiao Yi," the woman murmured, "What a pleasant-sounding name."

Just as the woman was about to say more,

the old man interrupted with a frown, "Alright, Youyou, since this lad is awake, let’s have him leave quickly."

"And..."

The old man looked towards Xiao Yi, "Even though we, the Du Family, are an Alchemy Family known for practicing medicine with virtue, consultation fees still need to be paid."

"If Young Master cannot afford it, please leave."

"Uh," Xiao Yi was taken aback and said, "I’ll pay the consultation fee, don’t worry."

With that, Xiao Yi looked towards the woman.

It seemed that the woman’s full name was probably Du Youyou.

"Miss Youyou, might there be a Demon Hunting Hall nearby?" Xiao Yi asked.

If he was not mistaken, this place was already the Central Region.

The wisest choice for someone completely new to the area would be to visit the Demon Hunting Hall first to gather information.

The Demon Hunting Hall was the oldest power on the Flame Dragon Continent.

Established during Ancient Times to combat demon beasts and save humanity from disaster.

However, the last great battle caused the Eastern Domain and Central Region to separate.

The Demon Hunting Halls on both sides had not had contact in tens of thousands of years.

Yet, Xiao Yi believed that the Central Region must surely be filled with Demon Hunters just the same.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yi asked his question, both the woman and the old man had a strange look on their faces.

"This kid must have lost his wits from being sick," the old man scoffed.

Du Youyou expressed her confusion, "Young Master Xiao Yi, this is the Fengxu Kingdom, how could there be a Demon Hunting Hall?"

"There’s the Asura Hall and the Wind Shattering Hall, though."

"Asura Hall? Wind Shattering Hall?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

"Yes," Du Youyou said matter-of-factly.

"The Ancient Eight Halls, the oldest and most powerful eight forces on the Flame Dragon Continent."

"Demon Hunting Hall, Asura Hall, Black Demon Hall, Wind Shattering Hall..."

Xiao Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Seeing Xiao Yi’s reaction, Du Youyou frowned slightly, "Young Master Xiao Yi, you couldn’t really be sick, could you?"

"When I pulled you out, your injuries were very serious."

"You have been unconscious for five whole days and nights, constantly running a high fever and your whole body was hot."

"Could it be that the fever has affected your brain?"

Saying this, Du Youyou reached out to feel Xiao Yi’s forehead.

Xiao Yi came to his senses and slightly dodged Du Youyou’s hand, saying, "I’m fine, Miss Youyou, no need to worry."

"Since I’m already awake, I’ll take my leave now."

Having arrived in the Central Region for the first time, the first thing Xiao Yi needed to do was to figure out the situation here.

He made a move to get out of bed, but as soon as his body began to move, he already felt unbearable pain,

a severe throbbing sensation coming from his flesh.

That kind of pain was quite unbearable.

Even he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

"Young Master Xiao Yi’s injuries are still very serious; you shouldn’t get out of bed," Du Youyou forcibly pressed him back down.

Xiao Yi didn’t resist.

He realized that his injuries were indeed very severe.

Moreover, it was clear that the medical skills of the woman in front of him were just average.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, you should rest well here; I won’t disturb you any longer," said Du Youyou, turning to leave.

As she passed by a table, there was a medicine bowl on it.

Inside it was a pile of crushed medicinal herbs.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, this is the healing medicine I have prepared for you, but the medicinal properties need to fully take effect."

"Now it can only be left as is."

"In a few hours, I will return to treat you."

With that, Du Youyou left with the elder.

...

Outside the room, the elder spoke discontentedly, "Youyou, this kid has been staying at our Du Family for free for five days now."

"The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used for his treatment are each and every one precious."

"A total of five fifth-grade healing holy medicines, if this kid can’t give us a treatment fee, I will surely flay his skin."

Du Youyou pouted and said, "Grandpa San, you are always so mercenary."

"Besides, I don’t think Young Master Xiao Yi looks like someone who can’t pay a treatment fee."

"Hmph," the elder rolled his eyes, saying contemptuously, "Over in the Eastern Domain, the strongest beasts are no more than Level 5 Peak Demon Beasts."

"This youngster still ended up in such a wretched state; it seems his strength is limited, and it’s unlikely he has any treasure that can cover the treatment fee."

Outside the room, Du Youyou and the elder walked further away.

Inside the room, Xiao Yi gave a wry smile.

Though his injuries were heavy, his senses remained sharp.

The conversation between the two outside didn’t miss a single word in his ears.

Moreover, their strengths weren’t all that formidable.

Du Youyou was only at the Mystic Breakthrough First Layer.

The elder was at Earth Element Third Layer.

However, Xiao Yi’s current situation was equally bleak.

After sensing a moment, Xiao Yi’s face became incredibly solemn.

First, there were the physical injuries; when emerging from the spatial turbulence, that dark Power of Nihility had wrapped around his body.

That force, which seemed capable of crushing everything into nothingness, had nearly crumbled his body, which he had been proud of for being resilient.

If he had emerged from that darkness a second later, he might have been ground into nothingness.

Xiao Yi glanced at his own body.

His body was wrapped in layers of white cloth.

Only...

Xiao Yi looked at the wrapping method of the white cloth and couldn’t help but grow black lines on his forehead.

He just realized that the knots on the cloth over his chest had been tied into several delicate bows.

Obviously, this masterpiece was the handiwork of Du Youyou.

Xiao Yi casually untied the white cloth, his mind echoing the words Du Youyou just spoke.

"Ancient Eight Halls." Xiao Yi frowned, pondering.

...

Third update.
