Chapter 1921: Chapter 1921: Defeat, Lord of Dominating Star Mansion
An hour later.
Xiao Yi pursued all the way, and had long since left the Thunder Light Mansion region, and instead arrived at the Dominating Star Mansion region.
After another ten-odd minutes, Xiao Yi arrived directly at the Dominating Star Mansion.
Yes, the Dominating Star Mansion, one of the Central Region Eighteen Prefectures.
These almost imperceptible markings extended all the way here.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and released his perception.
In his perception, there were no evil cultivators here.
But since the markings existed, they would not be wrong.
Swoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, directly slipping inside.
Once again, he released his perception.
This time, only ordinary martial artist perception was released.
Within his perception, there was no aura of Qing Lin, nor any other familiar aura.
However, there were several hidden places, isolated from perception by prohibition.
Dominating Star Mansion, as one of the Eighteen Mansions, naturally had some forbidden territories or places like Treasure Pavilion within the mansion.
"Who goes there?" One after another, martial artists from the Dominating Star Mansion leaped over.
Xiao Yi’s open entry and direct release of perception, covering the entire Dominating Star Mansion, naturally alerted the Martial Artists of the Dominating Star Mansion.
"Who are you?" Among the martial artists of Dominating Star Mansion, a burly middle-aged man stepped forward.
His dominating gaze coldly fixed on Xiao Yi.
The surging momentum proved he was the strongest here.
"Lord of Dominating Star Mansion." Xiao Yi glanced at the middle-aged man, then at the nearby ground.
On the ground, there were clearly markings left behind.
This meant that the person who left the markings had once entered the Dominating Star Mansion.
"Who are you?" The lord of the Dominating Star Mansion asked coldly.
"Black Mage, Xiao Xun." Xiao Yi replied indifferently.
"Xiao Xun?" The lord of Dominating Star Mansion narrowed his eyes, "That monster? The one who slaughtered evil cultivators the other day?"
The lord of Dominating Star Mansion’s tone, for some reason, carried a hint of disgust and something inexplicable.
"Why have you come to my Dominating Star Mansion? There are no evil cultivators in my Dominating Star Mansion."
Xiao Yi nodded, "There are indeed no evil cultivators within the Dominating Star Mansion."
"I am here to ask something."
"Has anyone been abducted into the Dominating Star Mansion these days?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing the previous sentence, regarding Xiao Yi’s statement ’There are indeed no evil cultivators within the Dominating Star Mansion’, the lord secretly frowned.
Then the following words made his face turn cold.
"Ridiculous, my Dominating Star Mansion is one of the Eighteen Mansions, how could anyone be abducted here."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yi frowned, nodded, "Fine, I’ll take my leave."
"Hold on." The lord of Dominating Star Mansion sneered, "Do you think my Dominating Star Mansion is that kind of place? You come and go as you please?"
"Men, arrest him, kill him on the spot."
"Kill on the spot?" Xiao Yi sneered, "I merely entered this place briefly, without damaging anything or disturbing anyone."
"And you would kill on the spot?"
"Could it be that the lord has something untoward to hide?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." The lord waved a massive hand, "Arrest this man for me."
"Yes."
The surrounding elders and strongmen of Dominating Star Mansion immediately struck, converging upon him.
"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.
His body erupted with deadly poison.
The venom swept through, repelling each elder and strongman.
"Ten Thousand Poison Hand." Xiao Yi growled in his heart, directly targeting the lord of Dominating Star Mansion.
"Supreme 9998 Dao, is this your reason for confidence?"
Xiao Yi had already grasped the lord’s throat.
His cultivation was Supreme 9995 Dao.
The vast Poison Realm alone made him invincible in the same realm.
Plus, the unique Poison Dao within the Poison Realm gave him the power to fight beyond his level.
The Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book cultivated both Body Dao and Martial Arts, the perfect fusion serving as another amplification.
Additionally, since the two fit the Demon Dao, he could instantly unleash Asura Palm Poison’s Demon Slaying prowess.
With all these amplifications, killing the lord of Dominating Star Mansion was no difficult task.
Previously, he used Murong Lingyun as practice only.
When his internal Poison Power erupted, fighting beyond his level was exceedingly easy for him.
"You..." The lord’s face changed dramatically.
He could clearly feel the venom flooding into his throat.
His internal Primordial Power was entirely suppressed.
The poison seeped into his organs.
Soon, he feared he would be poisoned to death.
"Rumor has it you’re hoarse, yet your true age is but a young man, how could you have such prowess." The lord’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Quit talking." Xiao Yi said coldly, "Speak, has anyone been abducted here recently?"
"If I hear one unsatisfactory word, don’t blame me for exterminating your Dominating Star Mansion."
"You you you... dare..." The lord panicked for the first time.
"See if I dare or not." Xiao Yi’s hoarse voice was icy.
The lord was horrified.
Rumors of Xiao Xun described a monster with ruthless methods, killing without remorse.
Alone in just ten days, slaughtering over a hundred thousand marked him as someone who saw lives as nothing.
"Indeed there is." The lord nodded.
"Don’t stop." Xiao Yi commanded coldly, "Speak of anything you know, keep going."
The lord said solemnly, "It’s a group of young Heavenly Talents, their cultivation bound, five-colored ropes tying them."
"However, they are not in my Dominating Star Mansion, merely passing through."
"Passing through?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Yes." The lord nodded, "Those Heavenly Talents, I don’t know them, some had their faces obscured."
"But they evidently possess remarkable abilities."
"Ordinary restraints couldn’t manage them, passing through my Dominating Star Mansion merely to help stabilize the restraint prohibition."
The lord spoke without pause under Xiao Yi’s cold gaze, "But as for the ones escorting these Heavenly Talents, I don’t recognize them."
"Each wore broad black robes, their aura was strange, seemingly evil cultivators."
"You don’t recognize them yet helped them? Believe they’re evil and still assist them? Are you lying?" Xiao Yi’s eyes coldly locked, increasing his grip slightly.
"I didn’t." The lord exclaimed, "It’s because Miss Shui preemptively sent word, I obliged."
"Miss Shui? Shui Ninghan?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.
"Yes." The lord nodded, "Beyond this, I know nothing."
"Xiao Xun, as an Eight Palace Martial Artist, know the consequences of killing all the martial artists in my Dominating Star Mansion."
"My Dominating Star Mansion is the regional hegemon, even across the Central Region, if harmed, chaos would ensue..."
Xiao Yi released him; he had no interest in killing him.
But, an affair entrusted by Shui Ninghan?
As he knew, Shui Ninghan was indeed incredible, ranking first among the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents.
Yet, the Water Light Mansion itself wasn’t top-tier, ranking merely in the middle among the Eighteen Mansions.
Could a mere Young Master command the lord of Dominating Star Mansion?
This lord, asking further seemed futile, perhaps unwilling to disclose more.
Xiao Yi indeed lacked the reason or evidence to kill him.
Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, controlling the air as he flew away.
