Chapter 2101: In the Future, Protect Him Well
Chapter 2101: Chapter 2101: In the Future, Protect Him Well
Xiao Yi continued forward, deep in thought.
These past few days, he had nearly traversed the entire blockade, thus forming a rough conjecture.
If his guess was correct, this blockade was even larger than he had initially imagined.
It should extend between the seven hundred to eight hundred territories.
Without any intelligence support, relying solely on his own experience and hearsay to make such an accurate judgment, Xiao Yi’s solo abilities were indeed formidable.
Currently, this range had likely shrunk to between two to three hundred territories.
He was encountering more and more rampant activities of evil cultivators.
Since yesterday, he had even reached the point where encountering evil cultivators made it impossible for him to strike.
The frequency of evil cultivators’ appearances was too intense.
If he dared to use the Heaven and Earth Gaze of the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes at this moment, he would likely find that the aura of the Evil Dao was already alarmingly dense.
He also discovered something ominous.
It seemed that when he employed Sword Qi to kill evil cultivators during his previous stealth, it had caught someone’s attention.
It was actually quite obvious; as he moved forward, traces of Sword Qi eliminating evil cultivators would easily raise suspicions among even the most oblivious.
Not to mention, now countless evil cultivators were operating under the coordinated command of the Evil Lord Mansion.
And the intelligence capability of the Evil Lord Mansion was not weak.
This led him to feel stifled to the point where he couldn’t even act.
However, he was almost out of the blockade range.
"At most, half a day more." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
His judgment was nearly flawless.
In about half a day, he would be able to leave this blockade.
By then, the sky was the limit.
With his speed, it wouldn’t take long to return to the Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall.
The scourge of the evil cultivators here could also come to an end.
He had to endure for this half a day.
"After another ten or so territories, it’s the Fire Whale Territory." Xiao Yi murmured.
Fire Whale Territory was a famously notable region in the Southern Range.
In terms of status, it was comparable to the Six Dragon Land in the Eastern Range.
Once past the Fire Whale Territory, and another ten or so territories walked, he would have thoroughly traversed the Southern Range.
At that time, he could cross the boundary into the central region, then hurry back to the Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall at full speed.
...
Elsewhere.
Millions of miles away.
Xie Wudao and Xia Canglan were flying at high speed.
At this moment, both of their expressions were extremely grim.
"That brat," Xia Canglan gritted his teeth, "Now he knows trouble, right?"
"Actually shaking us off like this, now look what happened, he’s ended up in concealed stealth."
These past days, with Xiao Xun in the black robe yet to appear, naturally, everyone knew he was in stealth and hidden.
It was something easily predictable.
Xie Wudao gritted his teeth as well, "That brat made us run in circles."
"By the time news spread of his battle with the Little Evil Lord, we had already flown a day and night, well away from the Forbidden Spirit Sacred Mountain range."
"Returning to catch him was not feasible; now, look, he’s completely out of sight."
Xie Wudao spoke urgently, "The trouble now is that the blockade is so vast, we can’t find that brat at all."
Yes, even within a range of several hundred territories, finding a silent Martial Artist is extremely difficult.
They could cross a territory in a straight line swiftly.
But if that line turns into any corner of the entire territory, it magnifies immensely in size.
Let alone several hundred territories.
That was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Xia Canglan coldly said, "Given the brat’s current state, if he releases his aura, the first to find him would surely be the evil cultivators."
"Now there’s trouble."
"If he truly meets with an accident, not only would we be at fault, that person... would go mad."
Xia Canglan’s face was filled with extreme gravity.
Swoosh... Swoosh...
Just at this moment, from afar, two yellow streaks of light rapidly approached.
"Hmm?" Xia Canglan narrowed his eyes coldly, "The Heavenly Sand Two Monsters?"
...
Elsewhere, far away, within the Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall.
"It’s already been seven whole days and nights." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master anxiously paced.
"Even though significant amounts of Law Enforcement Teams from Asura Hall, Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, and others have gone."
"All they managed was to suppress some extent of the evil cultivator menace."
"That brat still remains without a trace."
"No way, I still must go there; if by chance I meet that brat, great, if not, I’ll search for the evil cultivator’s lair, and if I find the Evil Lord directly, all the better."
In the Master’s eyes, a flash of killing intent emerged.
"Search?" The Soul Hall Master shook his head, "Heavenly Mechanism, I told you, do not act in haste."
"How vast are several hundred territories? While our perception can easily cover millions of miles in a single thought."
"But if you are to dig inch by inch, even if you go for a year and a half, you won’t finish."
The Soul Hall Master’s gaze shifted from calm to urgency for the first time, "That brat is my only choice, do you think I’m not anxious?"
"In his current predicament, he must be increasingly difficult to find, even more dangerous."
"The nine elders, nine protectors, Evil Hall Supreme, including that Evil Lord, they are all in the blockade range."
"Once found, he will have no chance."
"But..."
Even though the Law Enforcement Teams from Asura Hall, Demon Hunting Hall, and others have poured vastly into the blockade.
That only served to suppress the rampant nature of the evil cultivators.
If it were about saving Xiao Yi, that offered little help.
"I’ll go." A cold, indifferent voice suddenly emerged from the air.
Senior Luoo’s figure stepped out from the air.
"You..." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master and the Soul Hall Master simultaneously furrowed their brows.
Senior Luoo nodded indifferently.
"But..." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master attempted to speak.
"No buts." Senior Luoo shook his head, saying no more.
His hands folded behind him, he slowly exited the Main Hall room.
"Old Man Soul, what..." The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master’s expression turned urgent.
The Soul Hall Master sighed, "This is his final choice, let him decide for himself."
After a moment, the Soul Hall Master shook his head, standing up.
"Where are you going?" the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master frowned and asked.
"Back to the Soul Hall." The Soul Hall Master did not turn back, his tone somewhat complex.
"I’ll hasten the ripening of the Emperor Soul Fruit."
"Perhaps it’s the only thing I can do now."
...
Black Demon Main Hall.
Like always, Senior Luoo stood with hands behind, gazing at the vast sky and earth.
Watching, with no joy, no sorrow.
Time, unknown how much has passed.
Perhaps a moment, perhaps ten thousand years.
In Senior Luoo’s eyes, time seemed to not ebb away.
Yet, those indifferent eyes turned icy cold.
"If the heavens wish to destroy me, there’s nothing I can do."
"But how dare a bunch of clowns touch these old brows?"
"Hmph."
With a cold snort, the vault of heaven suddenly shattered.
Behind him, Changtian Wine Demon bowed, his expression, immensely complex.
Senior Luoo suddenly turned his head towards Changtian Wine Demon.
"That boy, I will bring him back safely."
"In the future, you must protect him."
After saying this, Senior Luoo turned back and slowly walked away.
Within those indifferent eyes, there was a disregard for the masses, but also the unwavering confidence as if looking down on heaven and earth.
"Master..." Behind, Changtian Wine Demon watched the receding figure, wanting to say something.
But the words choked in his throat, unable to come out, only nodding in response, "Yes."
...
Sixth update. (Burst)
4:20 AM, belated Lantern Festival wishes.
Goodnight, everyone.
