Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Senior Brother Xiao Yi
"Annihilation Binding," Qing Lin shouted fiercely.
The two void hands, carrying the aura of annihilation, tightly bound the Sky Square City Lord and the Fang Family Master.
Their primordial power exploded as they tried to resist.
But under these void hands, their primordial power was continuously annihilated, unable to resist in the slightest.
Xiao Yi glanced over, surprised.
In fact, he had been surprised before.
Qing Lin’s Martial Soul has an extremely strong wind control ability.
Especially this Annihilation Binding; those void hands clearly exude the breath of wind attribute, yet they carry a strong sense of annihilation.
This is no longer merely ordinary wind attribute power, nor is it a simple method that can be controlled.
In the past, Xiao Yi had also witnessed this kind of annihilation aura, but without exception, it was all due to martial techniques or secret techniques.
Yet Qing Lin’s manipulation clearly didn’t use any martial technique, instead it seemed more like an innate ability, stronger and even more astonishing.
Although Xiao Yi felt puzzled, everyone has their secrets; since Qing Lin didn’t speak, he wouldn’t ask.
Ssss... ssss... ssss...
Minutes later, amidst a series of dense hissing sounds.
The corpses of the Fang Family Master and the Sky Square City Lord fell powerlessly from mid-air.
Their bodies were covered with countless bloody claw marks, drenched in blood, resembling two bloodied figures.
At the same time, Xiao Yi’s side also ended the battle.
A group of First Layer Saint King Realm martial artists alongside a group of Saint Realm martial artists posed no pressure to the current Xiao Yi.
"Looks like I was quicker," Qing Lin flashed over to Xiao Yi’s side, smiling proudly.
Xiao Yi smiled, not refuting.
On the ground, among the Fang Family martial artists and the City Lord Mansion martial artists’ corpses, Fang Xin’s corpse was prominently present.
"Fang Xin sure was bold," Qing Lin glanced at Fang Xin’s corpse and laughed.
Xiao Yi nodded.
Fang Xin was not only the Sixth Elder of the Fang Family but also the Sub Hall Master of the Wind Shattering Hall in a nearby large city, and the person in charge of that Wind Shattering Hall.
However, for his own selfish gain, Fang Xin brazenly betrayed his duties and exterminated all the Martial Artists in the entire Wind Shattering Hall sub-hall.
He then looted all cultivation items from the sub-hall treasury.
Of course, Fang Xin employed numerous means, framing his actions on a group of fugitives already wanted for a long time.
Though, that large city was only an extremely weak one.
That Wind Shattering Hall was just a small-scale Wind Shattering Hall.
But, considering the entire sub-hall was massacred, the event infuriated the Main Hall of the Wind Shattering Hall in the Four-direction Domain, prompting a thorough investigation.
Once the matter was clarified, Fang Xin naturally became wanted.
However, Fang Xin’s wanted notice didn’t appear in the sub-halls of the Four-direction Domain, but was directly included in the Task Scroll of the Black Cloud Academy.
In fact, most tasks within the Black Cloud Academy are not available in the sub-halls.
The reason is simple: whenever a wanted notice or task is sent to the sub-halls, the sub-halls usually take immediate action.
They either list the wanted notice and tasks on the bounty board, or the Law Enforcement Team of the sub-hall takes action.
If the task is one that sub-halls can handle, or one that the Main Hall can spare personnel to handle, there is no need to issue it to the Black Cloud Academy.
Tasks issued to the Black Cloud Academy are usually ones that can’t be dealt with by sub-halls or the Main Hall can’t spare personnel for.
Naturally, most tasks in the Black Cloud Academy do not appear in the sub-halls.
Take the matter with Fang Xin: Fang Xin held the position of sub-hall master, was in the late stage of Saint King Realm cultivation, and was backed by the vast Fang Family and the Sky Square City Lord Mansion.
Ordinary sub-hall law enforcement teams were entirely powerless against him.
It could only be handled by the Main Hall.
The Main Hall couldn’t spare personnel for the pursuit, so it was left to the monsters roaming the Four-direction Domain from Black Cloud Academy to complete.
Back to the main point.
Originally, Xiao Yi had just happened to arrive at Sky Square City, intending to try his luck by visiting the Fang Family to see if he could find Fang Xin.
After all, he accepted the task more than half a year ago, and the information was also from that time.
Fang Xin was very likely already on the run across the world.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xin was so bold that he didn’t flee and was actually within the Fang Family.
Perhaps Fang Xin relaxed his vigilance because no one had hunted him for more than half a year.
Xiao Yi couldn’t know for sure, but the task was completed.
At this moment, behind him, the Muu Family Master and a group of Muu Family martial artists were stunned in place.
"This... this..." The Muu Family Master was full of shock.
Originally, the Sky Square City Lord and the Fang Family, two major forces, were coming to trouble his Muu Family.
It could have resulted in a potential war, leaving his Muu Family heavily damaged, perhaps even removed from Sky Square City.
But due to the sudden appearance of these two young men, in just a few minutes, the two major forces of Sky Square City were entirely annihilated.
His Fang Family hadn’t even participated in the battle, and before they could react, the battle was already over, and the crisis was resolved.
"Heaven blessed my Muu Family." The Muu Family Master finally realized and smiled heartily.
"Who would have thought the Fang Family could be so bold as to harbor a wanted man, leading to two monstrous talents that eliminated the danger for my Muu Family."
Xiao Yi glanced at the Muu Family Master.
He specifically provoked the Fang Family also to help Muu Ning a little.
After all, Muu Ning had saved him once, and if they hadn’t met, it would have been another story, but since they did, he was willing to lend a hand in this small matter.
Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze and turned to Qing Lin, saying, "Collect Fang Xin’s corpse, let’s go to the Wind Shattering Hall to hand over the task."
"Alright, let’s go." Qing Lin waved his hand and collected Fang Xin’s corpse.
The two of them turned to leave.
For Qing Lin, he came to the Four-direction Domain to find Xiao Yi, coincidentally encountered a wanted man, killed him, completed the task, and now was preparing to leave.
As for Xiao Yi, the collusion between the Sky Square City Lord Mansion and the Fang Family, pressuring the Muu Family, was just an ordinary power struggle.
In the vast Central Region, such power struggles were abundant.
He just happened to encounter one, and also helped Muu Ning a little.
Moreover, the task was completed, so it was naturally time to leave.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to go, a gentle call came from behind.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi, wait." Behind them, Muu Ning called out.
Beside him, the Muu Family Master was surprised, "Ning’er, you know these two?"
"However, the Black Cloud Academy has a bad reputation, so..." The Muu Family Master lowered his voice for this sentence.
It was clear that he didn’t believe Xiao Yi and Qing Lin were their saviors, and naturally, he didn’t want too much interaction with the disciples of the Black Cloud Academy.
Muu Ning shook her head, ignoring the Muu Family Master, and briskly ran over.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi, it’s been a long time." Muu Ning quickly approached Xiao Yi, her face full of smiles and admiration.
"Who’s the young lady?" Xiao Yi frowned, showing doubt.
He didn’t recall revealing his true appearance to Muu Ning.
"Senior Brother Xiao Yi is quite forgetful." Muu Ning smiled joyfully, "Back on the Heavenly Hidden Mountain peak, when passing through the Sky-locking Chains, Senior Brother Xiao Yi repeatedly triggered the Xuan Lock Chain but handled them effortlessly."
"You even broke the long-standing record of the Heavenly Hidden Academy, which amazed everyone."
"Are you a disciple of the Heavenly Hidden Academy?" Xiao Yi frowned.
...
Second update.
