Chapter 1925: The Main Hall Master Who Was Abducted
Chapter 1925: Chapter 1925: The Main Hall Master Who Was Abducted
Xiao Yi waved his hand, took the Universe Ring, and turned around to leave.
As he left, a stream of black light shot out, causing the Alchemy Furnace and the Evil Pill within to completely turn into poisonous water, destroyed instantly.
Perhaps the Medicine Star Mansion Master has other reasons for not wanting to join the Evil Lord Mansion.
Or maybe, there are other reasons.
Exactly how, Xiao Yi did not know.
But he understood very well that the Medicine Star Mansion Master was indeed colluding with the Evil Cultivators, and had indeed practiced the Evil Dao, becoming an Evil Cultivator.
Take this incident for example, if not for him accidentally discovering those strange marks and tracking them all the way here.
It’s likely that by now Guu Feifan, Fang Shushu, and Qin Yi would have become Evil Cultivators.
Those Evil Pills have the effect of corroding and assimilating Martial Arts, forcibly leading Martial Artists into the Evil Dao.
Once you enter the Evil Dao and consume such Evil Pills, a Martial Artist only has two paths to take.
Either peacefully become an Evil Cultivator.
Or discard all cultivation and restart Martial Arts.
Thankfully, Xiao Yi arrived in time this time.
If he hadn’t arrived in time, what then?
And before? When he was unaware of the happenings here, how many Evil Pills has the Medicine Star Mansion Master refined for the Evil Cultivators? And how many Martial Artists had he captured?
Xiao Yi shook his head, not dwelling on it further.
Returning to the main hall.
The Heavenly Talents were gradually breaking the seal within their bodies, restoring their cultivation.
And that old man was actually a Supreme 9996 Dao powerhouse.
"Who are you, sir?" Xiao Yi looked at the old man with confusion.
The old man’s complexion changed, turning red with embarrassment, "Ashamed, I am none other than the Main Hall Master of the Shaking Star Main Hall of the Black Demon Hall."
"As a Martial Artist of the Eight Palaces and holding the title of Main Hall Master, I should fulfill the duties of a Martial Artist of the Eight Palaces."
"Unfortunately, it was I who got trapped and was captured by the Evil Cultivators."
"The Main Hall Master of the Shaking Star Main Hall?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
He had already realized.
Several days ago, the steward who suddenly approached him and relayed the main hall’s orders.
No wonder that steward had such a strange expression then.
"As the Main Hall Master of the Shaking Star Territory, you should have frequent contact with the Main Hall Masters of surrounding territories."
"You’ve been captured for so long, and no one even noticed?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
The old man gave a bitter smile, "To be honest, our main halls within the Black Demon Hall have very little contact with each other, so..."
The old man wore a face of bitter smiles and shame.
Xiao Yi shook his head.
Within the Black Demon Hall, there were many who formed cliques and connections.
Yet there were so few who truly did their duties among the Main Hall Masters.
"Oh no." The old man suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, "The Shaking Star Main Hall is still under the control of those Evil Cultivators."
"No, it’s safe now." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"A few days ago, I passed through the Shaking Star Territory and also the Shaking Star Main Hall, and there were no Evil Cultivators inside."
"But why haven’t they sent a rescue signal to the other Main Halls or the General Hall?"
Upon hearing this, the old man’s face instantly darkened, "A few days ago, I was captured by that Poison Robe."
"Within the hall, those who were the Sub Hall Master, Chief Steward, all those who resisted were killed initially."
"Those who knew might have been concerned for my safety, hence did not report it."
"The Evil Cultivators are truly vicious and insidious to the extreme."
"Oh yes." At this time, Qin Yi smiled and looked at Mo Youu, "Mo Youu Senior Brother, I didn’t expect you could recognize the marks left by me and Tong Ye, and tracked all the way here."
"Really impressive."
Mo Youu smiled, "Those marks you left were quite odd, I couldn’t have discovered them."
"It was Brother Xiao who found them."
"Oh?" Qin Yi showed surprise, "I used the stealth techniques of the Wind Shattering Hall combined with the markings of our Black Cloud Academy disciples, and you could still recognize them?"
Qin Yi looked at Xiao Yi with curiosity and furrowed brows.
Xiao Yi secretly complained, having participated in the Black Cloud Academy assessment as a Flame Hall Warrior and being a Black Cloud disciple, naturally he knew these marks.
However, thinking this in his heart, he arrogantly said, "If I don’t have these abilities, how can I, Xiao Xun, clear out the Evil Cultivators?"
"That’s true." Qin Yi hesitated and nodded.
"Wait." Tong Ye suddenly spoke, "How did you know I could refine medicine to heal?"
Earlier, Xiao Yi instinctively let Tong Ye treat Mo Youu’s injuries and stabilize the backlash.
Tong Ye, not being an ordinary person, naturally remembered this.
Xiao Yi internally cursed these two keen fellows, but verbally said, "Illusion Wind Qin Yi, Flame Fire Tong Ye, you’re quite renowned among the Eight Palace Martial Artists."
"Of course, I know."
"Alright, I have other matters, not interested in chatting with you all."
If these two continue to question, who knows when they will stop.
Xiao Yi turned back to the old man, "You can return to the Main Hall first, it should be safe at the moment."
"I have other things to do, and when I’m free later, I will clear out the Evil Cultivators in the Eighteen Mansions Territory before leaving."
"If you have important matters to find me, just send a command to the territory, and I will come to seek you upon receiving the message."
Upon hearing this, the old man’s face brightened, "Thank you, Steward Xiao Xun."
"Farewell." Xiao Yi nodded and flashed away.
Just as he started moving, a figure came controlling the air from afar.
With that sharp momentum, Xiao Yi could immediately tell the newcomer was a Sword Cultivator.
Swoosh... the newcomer landed instantly.
An elegant young man.
Sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, quite handsome.
With a touch of relaxation and calmness on his face.
"Su Cheng, you bastard, you finally arrived." Murong Lingyun, who hadn’t spoken, cursed loudly.
The newcomer heard this, furrowed his brows, "Murong Lingyun, if it weren’t for the close ties between your Murong Family and my Su Family, do you think I would come to save you?"
"Hmm?" The newcomer glanced at the ground full of Evil Cultivator clothing, showing slight surprise, "Looks like it’s all over."
"Hmph." Murong Lingyun snorted coldly, "If I waited for you, I’d have already become an Evil Cultivator."
"Such strong Sword Intent." Mo Youu glanced at the newcomer’s sword on his waist and furrowed his brows.
"Such strong Sword Intent." Xiao Yi likewise looked at the newcomer’s sword but only felt a slight amazement in his heart.
This person’s cultivation was at Supreme 9994 Dao.
In terms of strength, he should be on par with Murong Lingyun.
But in terms of the purity and intensity of Sword Intent, this person was extremely formidable.
In Xiao Yi’s perception, even Mo Youu couldn’t match this person’s Sword Intent.
This person is definitely among Sword Cultivators, and an extreme among extremes.
Xiao Yi glanced briefly, then withdrew his gaze, flashing away.
...
A hundred miles away, Xiao Yi’s figure stopped.
Then stood with arms crossed, without further movement.
Xiao Yi watched from afar as the others left.
Once they had vanished from the Medicine Star Mansion, the poison power on Xiao Yi’s body suddenly erupted.
"Still not showing yourself, are you?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
The air offered no response.
"Should I invite you out?" Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, with poison surging in his hands.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
Three figures appeared out of thin air.
"As expected of Black Robe Xiao Xun, truly impressive."
"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "You intend to make a comeback?"
"Hmm? Shui Ninghan?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
