Chapter 2270 - 2266: Do You Have Evidence?
Chapter 2270: Chapter 2266: Do You Have Evidence?
Swish... swish... swish... swish...
Xiao Yi’s figure swiftly returned from tens of thousands of miles away.
He faced away, unaware of what had transpired behind him, not even sensing a ripple of change.
Yet, in the distance, the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness clearly saw the strange surges happening miles away.
"This..." A momentary fear surged across the face of the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness.
"Nether... Netherworld Lord..."
The tone of the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness carried a hint of tremor.
Swish... In a matter of breaths, Xiao Yi returned to the front of the Ice Venerate Hall.
A mere distance of tens of thousands of miles, moving at full speed, was of no consequence to him.
"What?" Xiao Yi clearly heard the words of the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness and instinctively asked.
In the distance, the mysterious turmoil vanished in an instant, and everything returned to calm.
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness stared for a few moments, muttering, "Was it an illusion?"
"What?" Xiao Yi asked again with confusion.
"Oh, it’s nothing." The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness reacted and shook his head.
But then he suddenly recalled the scene of Xiao Yi walking unimpeded along the Netherworld Road.
"Boy, have you ever heard of the Nether domain?" The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness asked gravely.
"Nether domain?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, "Where? I don’t know."
"You truly don’t know?" The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness asked again with caution.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "I only know that the Flame Dragon Continent is vast, and the Central Region is merely the central area."
"And on the continent, there are countless unknown places, of course, only unknown to me."
"But to certain existences, the Central Region might not only be a place where humans dwell."
"Like the Demon Domain, I do know of an Evil Domain. Are there other places?"
Xiao Yi inquired.
Ancient beings like the Ice Venerable must know many ancient secrets, possibly even more than the Eight Palaces.
Xiao Yi attempted to extract some information.
Unexpectedly, the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness shook his head, "Forget it, since you don’t know, I won’t say much."
"However," The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness squinted his eyes and asked gravely, "You managed to walk the entire Wind Snow Netherworld Road, which truly surprised me."
"Can you tell this old man how you managed it?"
"The first hundred miles, if you desperately tried, there’s a slim chance you could do it; beyond a hundred miles, this old man considers your intelligence astonishing..."
Xiao Yi shook his head, interrupting apologetically, "Sorry, that’s the boy’s secret, I can’t say nor do I want to say."
In fact, it was as the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness said, the first hundred-mile stretch, Xiao Yi relied entirely on himself to push through.
But beyond a hundred miles, although related to his mentality, it wasn’t the full reason.
From a hundred miles to a thousand miles, even Senior Ice Saint had to exert all effort to make the journey.
Xiao Yi, regardless of how formidable his mind was, could not complete it.
The reason lay in his Great Freedom Sword Dao.
When his sword dao coincided with the Netherworld Road, the force that cleared the fog and pushed him forward wasn’t his Ice Sword Dao, nor his Domineering Sword Technique, but the incomplete Great Freedom Sword Dao.
As for after a thousand miles, when he could proceed with open eyes without relying on the sword dao’s alignment with the Netherworld Road, he’s not quite sure why he could move unhindered then.
Perhaps, it was due to his six powerful worldly flames being strong enough?
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
What he truly wanted to inquire about wasn’t the distance from a hundred miles to a thousand miles; he subconsciously attributed this stretch to Xiao Yi’s formidable intelligence.
He wanted to ask about the distance beyond a thousand miles.
But now, Xiao Yi was clearly concealing something, causing him to furrow his brow deeper, harboring uncertainty.
At this moment, Xiao Yi puzzledly asked, "Just now, when senior told me to retreat, not to absorb the Ice Netherworld Ghost Fire Body, what was the reason?"
That was a great item for cultivation; Xiao Yi certainly didn’t want to relinquish it for no reason.
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness shook his head hesitantly, "There are some things I should tell you, but now..."
"What is it?" Xiao Yi was filled with confusion, clearly sensing the sudden shift in the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness’s attitude.
"Right." The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness suddenly said, "You mentioned wanting to go to the Demon Domain? What for?"
Xiao Yi noticed the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness’s brow carried a hint of vigilance.
Though puzzled, he replied, "Acting on orders, journeying to the Demon Domain."
"Orders? Whose orders?" The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness asked coldly.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "The Black Demon Hall Master, your friend in life, Luoo Venerable, and several Main Hall Masters’ commands."
"Are you an Eight Palace Martial Artist?" The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness furrowed his brow.
"To receive simultaneous orders from multiple Main Hall Masters, it seems your status in the Eight Palaces is extraordinary."
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness has existed within the Ice Venerate Hall for countless years.
During that time, the Eight Palaces hadn’t fragmented.
In his impression, the Eight Palaces were still the united Eight Palaces of ancient times.
"Not bad." Xiao Yi nodded.
"Do you have evidence?" The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness earnestly asked.
"Evidence?" Xiao Yi was at a loss, casually produced several tokens, "Will these do?"
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness squinted his eyes, "A Vice Hall Token of the Black Demon Hall Main Hall? You’re the next Black Demon Hall Master? Luoo’s disciple?"
"Huh? Vice Hall Token of the Flame Hall Main Hall? Vice Hall Token of the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall? Vice Hall Token of the Soul Hall Main Hall? And you’re affiliated with multiple halls?"
Xiao Yi chuckled, "Are these sufficient? If not, there’s more."
With that, he casually produced several more tokens.
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness widened his eyes, "Vice Hall Token of the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Main Hall, Vice Hall Token of the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall, Vice Hall Token of the Medicine Venerate Hall Main Hall... You you you... Eight Palace Master?"
Xiao Yi chuckled.
The vigilance on the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness’s face vanished instantly, replaced by pleased nodding, "Eight Palaces and Luoo, this old man can trust."
"Indeed, indeed." The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness muttered to himself.
"How could a young person like you be that ancient and terrifying existence."
"What thing?" Xiao Yi frowned and pursued.
"Haha." The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness regained his previous smile, waving his hand, "Nothing, nothing, you shouldn’t know those matters now."
"Alright then, this old man can safely entrust the Ice Venerate Hall to you."
As these words fell, the Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness seriously looked at Xiao Yi, "Boy, tell this old man, would you be willing to inherit this old man’s lifetime legacy, and accept the treasure, the Ice Venerate Hall?"
"This..." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before bitterly smiling.
"Senior, you seem to have many matters to tell me, yet not spoken now."
"Moreover, I have yet to understand what’s going on with the Ice Venerate Hall."
"Additionally, I still harbor many doubts."
"True." The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness nodded, glanced around, "Shall we sit and talk?"
"Fine either way." Xiao Yi nodded, sitting down directly on the ground.
Though surrounded by dense wind and snow, the cold was powerless against him.
The Ice Venerable’s Spiritual Consciousness was even less affected.
The two of them sat in this manner.
Xiao Yi waited, already anticipating hearing many long-awaited secrets.

Second update.
