Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Law Enforcement Team, Zhong Shuo
Leaving the Flame Hall Branch, Xiao Yi casually took out the Task Scroll and began to read it.
Although only the Three Halls’ tasks can be completed at present.
There is still a large number of tasks.
Xiao Yi examined closely, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hmm? There are actually two Flame Hall tasks nearby." Xiao Yi smiled.
"Ming’an City." Xiao Yi nodded, his figure flashed quickly away.
Ming’an City, coincidentally a major city nearby, was only five cities away from the current large city where Xiao Yi was staying.
However, within the Central Region, the scope of each major city is already vast.
Counting the wilderness between cities, this distance is not short.
With Xiao Yi’s speed, it still took several hours of flying to reach Ming’an City.
"Ming’an City." Looking at the massive city walls before him, Xiao Yi nodded.
On the huge city wall were carved the three characters ’Ming’an City.’
Compared to the previous few large cities, Ming’an City’s walls were significantly more grand and enormous.
Indeed, Ming’an City, despite its ordinary name, is the strongest city in terms of martial artist forces among the dozen or so nearby major cities.
Previously, Medicine Life City was a small city in comparison.
At the city gate, Xiao Yi paid the entrance fee and entered the city straightaway.
Ming’an City, on the streets, Xiao Yi walked while pondering.
"Two tasks, the first is Burning Demon Blood, and the destination is the City Lord’s Mansion."
"The second is an assassination mission."
Xiao Yi pondered, "The day for Burning Demon Blood is three days later."
"Let’s complete this assassination task first, it should be in time."
Xiao Yi quickly made his decision.
...
Two days later, inside a certain inn in the city.
Bam... a violent explosion sounded.
A figure suddenly flew out from an inn room and landed heavily in the inn’s lobby.
In the lobby, the surrounding guests looked shocked.
The person who was blasted out, wearing a mask, crashed heavily into the ground, creating a pit.
"Pfft." The person on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood.
Around him, flames circled.
But the aura on the flames was extremely weak and seemed on the verge of dissipating.
Clearly, this individual was severely injured.
"Hmm? It’s a Fire Control Warrior, and he’s seriously hurt." The surrounding guests exclaimed.
"Who is so bold as to dare engage in a fight and injure someone in Ming’an City?"
At the same time, a cold figure slowly walked out from the inn’s Inner Hall.
The figure who emerged was also wearing a mask.
Although one couldn’t see the face beneath the mask, the clear and cold eyes, along with the delicate brows, made it easy to tell he was a young man.
"Who exactly are you?" The masked man who was blasted away coldly shouted.
The voice was somewhat gruff, clearly a middle-aged man.
The cold figure in front slowly walked out and then stood in front of the masked man.
The surrounding guests looked at these two masked men with disbelief and retreated a few steps.
"Flame Hall Warrior, Yi Xiao."
The masked young man was naturally Xiao Yi.
"Former Flame Hall Law Enforcement Team Captain, Zhong Shuo, during a task execution, killed six Demon Hunting Teams to seize treasures."
"You have been wanted by the Four-direction Domain Flame Hall Main Hall, and I’ve taken on the task to kill you."
Xiao Yi spoke concisely, explaining his intent in just a few sentences.
The middle-aged masked man stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You broke into my room without cause, injured me, and now you want to kill me?"
"What? Are you going to break the city’s rules and kill me?"
The middle-aged masked man sneered coldly, questioning Xiao Yi harshly.
Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
At the same time, a team of the City Guard Army quickly arrived.
Fighting is prohibited within a major city. This is the rule of almost every large city.
And this is an ironclad rule.
Naturally, the sounds of fighting here quickly attracted the City Guard Army.
"Who is fighting here?" The City Guard Army drew their swords, asking coldly.
"It’s that kid." The middle-aged masked man coldly pointed at Xiao Yi.
"All the guests around can testify for me."
"This kid even tried to kill me. I paid the entrance fee to enter, so please arrest this thief quickly."
"Hmm?" The City Guard Army immediately directed a cold gaze towards Xiao Yi, "Who are you?"
Xiao Yi took out the Flame Hall Token, speaking coldly, "Flame Hall Warrior, Yi Xiao."
"Flame Hall Warrior?" The City Guard Army frowned, "Why did you make a move in the city?"
"To kill the wanted criminal Zhong Shuo." Xiao Yi replied indifferently.
"The wanted criminal, Zhong Shuo?" The City Guard Army’s expression changed slightly, "Is it that former Flame Hall Law Enforcement Team Captain, the one currently at large, Zhong Shuo?"
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.
This kill mission, not only did the Main Hall issue a wanted order.
Some of the stronger martial artist influence’s major cities also issued a wanted order.
Naturally, within Ming’an City, there was also a wanted order for Zhong Shuo.
"Nonsense." The middle-aged masked man shouted angrily.
"Whether it’s nonsense, take off your mask, and you’ll know." Xiao Yi said coldly.
According to intelligence, Zhong Shuo was in Ming’an City.
Two days ago, when Xiao Yi first arrived in Ming’an City, he began his investigation.
However, Zhong Shuo was once the Flame Hall Law Enforcement Team Captain, his skills and methods were not ordinary.
Plus, he wore a mask to hide his face.
So Xiao Yi took two full days to track him down.
At this moment, Zhong Shuo sneered, "Flame Hall Warrior, Yi Xiao?"
"I’ve heard of you, causing a ruckus at Medicine Life Pavilion in Medicine Life City a few days ago, publicly killing Medicine Venerate Hall Branch’s Sub Hall Master Yu Tai."
"What? Are you still a Flame Hall Warrior?"
"Tsk tsk, such a reckless person who slaughters comrades, can his words be trusted?"
"I believe it won’t be long before the Medicine Venerate Hall issues a wanted order for this person."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding guests began to discuss.
"Yi Xiao? I’ve heard of this incident too."
"It’s said that this person is a refining genius, defeating Master Yu Tai at the Medicine Life Pavilion refining competition."
"But in the end, for unknown reasons, he publicly killed Master Yu Tai."
"This matter has been quite the talk these days."
"Both being Medicine Envoys of the Medicine Venerate Hall, yet he publicly kills a comrade."
"This Yi Xiao, although a refining genius, is too reckless and without any rules."
"Probably when he grows up in the future, he will surely be notorious."
The surrounding guests looked at Xiao Yi with unkind eyes, even showing contempt.
The matter of killing Yu Tai, after all, there wasn’t a wanted order from Medicine Venerate Hall Branches of surrounding major cities.
Thus, with the passing of word of mouth, the name Yi Xiao became notorious for killing comrades.
Xiao Yi’s eyes were icy, ignoring the surrounding gazes, still staring straight at Zhong Shuo.
"Since you won’t take off the mask yourself, then I’ll do it for you."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi instantly made a move.
"Kid, you dare." The whole City Guard Army also instantly made a move.
...
First update.
