Chapter 2007: Chapter 2007: The Truth Will Be Revealed with a Test
Black Demon Hall Main Hall.
Inside the Master of the Main Hall’s room.
Senior Luoo lightly tapped his finger, and a vast starry sky condensed.
Within the starry sky, streams of starlight rivers surged mightily, flowing like a galaxy’s shimmering light.
Strands of starlight suddenly moved autonomously, transforming into a Martial Soul Illusion.
Upon closer inspection, it was in the shape of a Fire Control Beast, except with two horns on its head.
Senior Luoo lightly tapped his finger again.
Next to the Martial Soul Illusion, a radiant sword emitting purple light assembled out of thin air.
It was in the form of the Ice Phoenix Sword.
The two martial souls, one black, one purple.
Were precisely the two major martial souls inside Xiao Yi’s body.
Of course, this wasn’t the real martial soul, just a starlight-condensed illusionary image.
Beside him, Changtian Wine Demon looked at the image and puzzled, "Master, aren’t these the two major martial souls inside that Xiao Xun brat?"
Senior Luoo said nothing.
He lightly tapped his finger again.
Another image below saw starlight moving again, condensing a Martial Soul Illusion shaped like a Fire Control Beast.
Senior Luoo closely stared at the two images, squinting his eyes.
"Do you know whose martial soul this is?" Senior Luoo asked indifferently.
Bai Changtian looked at the second image, puzzled, "This is just an ordinary Fire Control Beast, reputed as the most useless martial soul in the world."
"As for whose martial soul..."
Bai Changtian frowned, pondering.
Senior Luoo’s eyes turned cold, filled with disgust.
Bai Changtian was startled. He knew there were few who could invoke such disgust from his master.
It’s not that his master had a good face towards others.
But that his master always had an indifferent face and gaze toward everything and everyone.
His master was like the expanse of the heavens, eternally coldly watching over the land and its people, unchanged over thousands of years.
Until now, those who had managed to change his master’s indifference to disgust were few.
Asura Hall Master, Wind Shattering Palace Master, Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, among others, counted as one of them.
Clearly, they wouldn’t be the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul.
Then...
"Is it Xiao Yi? The sword dao demon who’s already dead?" Bai Changtian asked in surprise.
"Already dead? Humph." Senior Luoo coldly snorted.
His fingertips tapped lightly again.
Next to what was just an ordinary Fire Control Beast Martial Soul, a sword-type illusion formed again.
It was the shape of the Ice Phoenix Sword.
Initially, comparing the two images, nothing seemed wrong.
One image showed a horned Fire Control Beast next to a sharp sword.
Another was just a typical Fire Control Beast.
But now, in the second image, even next to a common Fire Control Beast, the same sharp sword assembled.
The comparison between the two images suddenly became obvious, even shockingly seamless.
"This..." Bai Changtian stared at the two images, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
If Xiao Yi were here, he would be greatly shocked.
Because, the second image was precisely the picture of his two major martial souls before his Fire Control Beast’s second awakening.
And the first picture was the image Senior Luoo sensed in his body a few days ago.
The two images were almost identical, virtually the same.
The only difference was that, in the first image, the Fire Control Beast had two horns.
"What if I told you that the martial soul in the second image is that brat’s?" Senior Luoo coldly said.
"That brat? Xiao Yi?" Bai Changtian exclaimed, "How is that possible?"
"It’s widely rumored that the sword dao demon owned the world’s most wasteful martial soul, the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul."
"Hmm? ... Wait..." Bai Changtian suddenly reacted.
"He is a sword dao demon, highly likely possessing a powerful sword-type martial soul."
"Doesn’t that imply... that the sword dao demon also had twin martial souls?"
Senior Luoo nodded.
No one knew of Xiao Yi’s Twin Martial Souls.
Even Asura Hall Master, Wind Shattering Palace Master did not know.
The only one informed was Qing Lin.
It’s just unfortunate that Qing Lin couldn’t keep from babbling, letting it slip when Xiao Xun was gaining immense fame.
And coincidentally, Senior Luoo, at that time within Black Cloud Academy, heard the words.
Bai Changtian’s mind suddenly sparked an astonishing thought, "Master’s meaning is, could it be that Xiao Xun and the sword dao demon were actually... the same person?"
Bai Changtian, not being foolish, naturally understood Senior Luoo’s meaning.
And Senior Luoo was far from foolish, rather cunning and shrewd, more so than any old fox.
He could think thoroughly, perceiving things more minutely.
The things in this world that could deceive him were scarce.
At this moment, Senior Luoo’s cold, disgusted gaze became intensely focused.
The murderous intent grew increasingly apparent.
Bai Changtian was startled, "Master, are you certain that the sword dao demon also possessed twin martial souls?"
Senior Luoo nodded.
Bai Changtian’s body trembled, "Then are you sure the sword dao demon had the same vividly purple pinnacle sword-type martial soul as Xiao Xun?"
Senior Luoo frowned but said nothing.
Back then, Qing Lin only said six words, ’a vividly purple pinnacle,’ without continuing.
Senior Luoo only knew that Xiao Yi indeed had twin martial souls, but whether it matched Xiao Xun’s sword-type martial soul was just speculation.
Bai Changtian saw this and let out a sigh of relief, knowing that his master not speaking indicated uncertainty, "Everything is merely Master’s speculation."
"In this world, there aren’t numerous such coincidences," Senior Luoo said indifferently.
Bai Changtian chuckled, "In this world, there are countless demon beasts, and countless things that are similar."
"Some demon beasts are almost identical, but the slightest difference makes them worlds apart."
Indeed, the kinds of demon beasts in this world number in the millions.
Certain demon beast classes, like the tiger type, might differ by a single stripe, which becomes a world of difference.
Bai Changtian chuckled, "Xiao Xun’s martial soul, without counting those horns, really seems identical to the Fire Control Beast."
"But evidently, this isn’t a Fire Control Beast, rather a powerful Black Rank Martial Soul."
"Master, do you recognize what kind of demon beast this is? Because I, as your disciple, am unfortunately too dull to recognize it."
Senior Luoo furrowed his brow, waved his large hand, and the starry image vanished like smoke.
"Whether it is or isn’t, a test will reveal," Senior Luoo said coldly.
Bai Changtian was shocked in his heart.
He knew that in this world, almost nothing could deceive his master.
No one could lie or argue in front of his master.
Even if they were clever or extraordinarily strange, they would inevitably reveal a clue.
And if the truth turns out as suspected, that Xiao Xun is Xiao Yi...
Then, given his master’s character, Xiao Xun’s death would be certain.
"Xiao Xun, you better not be that Xiao Yi little thief," Bai Changtian inwardly thought.
