Chapter 1957: Chapter 1957: The First Soul Emperor’s Sword
Sssss...
A violent poison aura instantly filled the air.
The pungent smell was intense, clearly brimming with extreme anger.
However, Senior Luoo’s face slightly changed, showing no concern.
The terrifying toxic aura looked astonishing, but it couldn’t even stir a hem of his robe.
Time passed, only a few seconds.
Swoosh...
The poison aura permeating the air suddenly dissipated.
The fury and momentum on Xiao Yi also vanished without a trace.
The disdainful words ’Trying to make a move on me?’ still echoed in the ears.
"I dare not," Xiao Yi uttered two words coldly.
But obviously, there was not a trace of fear in his tone.
Only pure anger.
And at this moment, the anger also vanished.
Xiao Yi’s tightly clenched fist loosened.
Adjusting the brim of his wide black robe, completely covering his entire body, he turned around.
Inside the wide black robe, even his icy eyes were no longer visible.
Since Senior Luoo wanted to cancel the agreement, there was no need for him to stay here.
He was angry, he was unwilling.
But he was powerless.
Acting rashly? Losing control?
No, to Senior Luoo, that was nothing but a joke.
Let alone him, even those veteran legendary experts would hardly withstand a single move from Senior Luoo.
Therefore, Xiao Yi didn’t even have the thought of venting his anger.
He wouldn’t do meaningless things.
Today, he did not obtain the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, quite disappointed.
But with the Black Demon Hall, he was even more disappointed.
In the past, he had been extremely disappointed with Senior Luoo, the Dean of Black Cloud Academy.
And today was the first time he was completely disappointed with one of the Eight Palaces, the Ancient Palace.
The wide black-robed figure had already turned and left.
But this figure carried not a trace of desolation, melancholy, or pity.
Only the usual arrogance and... tranquility.
Behind him, Senior Luoo’s indifferent gaze suddenly showed a bit of change.
It seemed like a sort of surprise.
Surprised that this young man could instantly suppress the sky-reaching anger.
More surprised that this young man left so calmly.
Yes, at this moment, Xiao Yi was very calm.
To him, indeed, he was angry, unwilling, but it had no meaning, so he suppressed it.
As for calm, he had not placed much hope in Senior Luoo or the Black Demon Hall in the first place.
Naturally, even if disappointed, it didn’t stir much in him.
Perhaps, he would never step into this Black Demon Hall again.
Because there was no need.
And also because, he no longer harbored any hope.
"Wait."
At this moment, a calm voice boomed like a thunderous bell.
Before Xiao Yi could react, his mind went blank.
The figure that was about to leave was forcibly halted.
Turning back, in front appeared an elder in white clothing.
The elder’s face was very plain.
He was the calmest person Xiao Yi had ever seen among all the Hall Masters and experts.
This calmness surpassed anyone Xiao Yi had seen before.
In his eyes, this was not just an elder, but rather, something of this world.
Yes, the white-clothed elder stood there just like that.
Yet his presence seemed completely harmonious with the world.
That calmness, that naturalness, was born from this.
His presence in the air was like air; in the sand, like sand; in the forest, like a flower, a grass, a tree, a stone.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yi frowned.
The elder before him was evidently a formidable senior.
But Xiao Yi did not call him senior.
Because the elder had been in the Black Demon Hall all along, only Xiao Yi hadn’t noticed.
For some reason, everything in the Black Demon Hall now displeased Xiao Yi.
The elder’s earlier shout, which rang loudly in Xiao Yi’s mind, was evidently unfriendly.
Swoosh...
Beside the white-clothed elder, a figure appeared out of thin air.
It was none other than the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master.
"Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master," Xiao Yi made a slight bow.
The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master nodded, looking discontentedly at the white-clothed elder, "Old Man Soul, what are you doing?"
Old Man Soul?
Someone whom the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master would call ’Old Man Soul’.
Therefore, this person’s identity became obvious.
The Soul Hall Master.
Xiao Yi already knew the elder’s identity in front of him.
"May I ask why the Soul Hall Master stopped me?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.
The Soul Hall Master gave a slightly satisfied smile.
"You’ve never seen this old man, yet you can instantly guess my identity. Such intellect is indeed impressive."
"You are a wise man."
"I suppose you also know why this old man called you."
The Soul Hall Master spoke with a gentle smile.
However, Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don’t know."
As the words fell.
The faint smile on the Soul Hall Master’s face froze.
Replaced by discontent and unfriendly gaze.
"Must this old man make it clear?" The Soul Hall Master’s tone turned cold.
"Please enlighten me," Xiao Yi blurted out.
The Soul Hall Master’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, staring directly at Xiao Yi.
That sharp gaze seemed to pierce through everything.
At that moment, Xiao Yi felt completely transparent.
Cold and sharp words slowly came from the Soul Hall Master’s mouth.
"The God Slaying Sword is in your hands, isn’t it?"
"God Slaying Sword?" Xiao Yi frowned, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Since acquiring the Divine Sword, this was the first time he’d heard someone else utter the words ’God Slaying Sword’.
The surprise in Xiao Yi’s eyes was obviously caught by the Soul Hall Master’s sharp gaze.
In the Soul Hall Master’s view, Xiao Xun’s expression was an implicit admission.
However, Xiao Yi spoke four words, "What is that?"
The God Slaying Sword was indeed in his hands.
But the origins of this sword were unknown to him.
Since the Soul Hall Master could name the sword, it also proved he knew the sword, even its origins.
Without knowing what it was about, Xiao Yi would not admit it blindly.
But, those four words, in the Soul Hall Master’s ears, just sounded like Xiao Xun pretending to be ignorant and deliberately arguing.
"Still want to argue?" The Soul Hall Master squinted his eyes.
A cold gleam had already erupted in his eyes.
"Your talent is mediocre, you have nothing on you, and your best skill is only that Poison Dao."
"With your strength, how did you manage to break into Six Light Cave Mansion?"
"How did you get past its defenses, take its treasures, and leave unscathed?"
"Are you taking this old man for a fool?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi also squinted his eyes.
That he could break into Six Light Cave Mansion and leave safely, so what?
"Please state clearly, Soul Hall Master," Xiao Yi frowned.
The Soul Hall Master squinted his eyes, "The sword of the first Soul Emperor, the God Slaying Sword, is in your hands."
