Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Congratulations to Vice Master Xiao Yi
"Kill them directly?"
The cold words instantly filled the study with a sense of surprise and doubt.
Except for one person who showed disdain.
"You killed that evil cultivator? Ridiculous." Qin Family Great Elder sneered coldly.
"It seems calling you boastful was an understatement. If a person has no self-awareness at all..."
Clang...
Before Qin Family Great Elder could finish speaking.
There was suddenly a crisp sword clang.
A streak of cold white sword light flashed by like a startled swan.
The sword light was incredibly fast, so fast that the eight Vice Hall Masters around didn’t even react.
And Qin Family Great Elder didn’t even know what happened, already with a sharp sword tip against his throat.
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing?" The eight Vice Hall Masters responded instantly, exclaiming in shock.
Xiao Yi’s face was cold, "I’m just telling some people, if I can kill that evil cultivator, I can also kill a mere Sub Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall."
"You..." Qin Family Great Elder’s face turned black.
It was only when he felt a chill at his throat that he realized Xiao Yi had drawn his sword.
And only when Xiao Yi’s murderous words fell did he realize his current predicament.
"Xiao Yi, don’t act recklessly." The Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall’s face changed.
Xiao Yi looked directly at the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, "Perhaps, before telling me not to act recklessly, Vice Hall Master should first discipline your subordinate."
"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly and withdrew his sword.
Then, he walked to the table and placed down the Blood-sucking Pearl.
"The bloodbath in the surrounding cities of Tianling City, as well as the top-ranked task of this evil cultivator, I have completed."
"I am back just to turn in the task."
"If the Vice Hall Master wants to record the process as usual, do it quickly so I can receive the reward and Task Points and leave."
"As I said, I’m in a hurry."
Xiao Yi looked at the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall and said in a deep voice.
He came to the Wind Shattering Hall to submit a task, so naturally, he was speaking to the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall.
"Uh, this..." The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall was stunned, momentarily unable to react to the appearance of the Blood-sucking Pearl and Xiao Yi’s words.
A few seconds later, the Vice Hall Master finally responded with surprise and doubt, "That evil cultivator... was really killed by you, General Deputy Xiao Yi?"
Xiao Yi’s expression was cold, silent.
The Vice Hall Master stared at the Blood-sucking Pearl on the table, gazed for a few seconds, and nodded.
"The Blood Qi Power inside the Blood-sucking Pearl has disappeared, and it has been damaged."
"Originally, the Blood-sucking Pearl was controlled by that evil cultivator, connected to his aura."
"Now, within the Blood-sucking Pearl, not a trace of aura remains, it seems indeed he was killed."
In fact, this was something easy to understand.
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he brought this Blood-sucking Pearl with him.
Otherwise, who knows how much more trouble would have arisen.
The other seven Vice Hall Masters gathered around the table, examined it for a few moments, and also nodded.
"It indeed seems so, the Blood-sucking Pearl is destroyed."
"Without the Blood-sucking Pearl, that evil cultivator wasn’t all that powerful, being killed wouldn’t be difficult."
"General Deputy Xiao Yi, what were you doing during that half-month?" asked the Vice Hall Masters.
Their attitude evidently changed significantly compared to before.
"Healing." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "After killing that evil cultivator, I was severely injured and on the brink of death, so I didn’t stay in that dangerous place."
"I fled tens of thousands of miles away, healed for half a month, and returned today."
Xiao Yi did not mention the sudden appearance of a sword cultivator expert from the Black Cloud Academy.
Of course, there was no need to.
His appearance had nothing to do with whether the evil cultivator was killed; the only relation was that this guy was blind, blasted me with a palm, nearly costing me my life.
"So it was healing." The eight Vice Hall Masters showed a look of realization.
Just then, a disdainful cold laugh came.
"So you were severely injured and close to death? I thought someone really had such great skills to casually kill that evil cultivator."
"I heard someone’s tone was so grand just now..."
The speaker, of course, was Qin Family Great Elder.
However, Qin Family Great Elder’s words were abruptly stopped by eight cold gazes.
"Vice Hall Masters..." Qin Family Great Elder looked at the eight Vice Hall Masters, his expression changed.
"Qin Bai." The Vice Hall Master of Heavenly Mechanism Hall said in an annoyed tone, "At least General Deputy Xiao Yi killed that evil cultivator, while that day we, a group of strong fighters, had to flee miserably."
"Your words earlier, I hope not to hear again."
The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall’s face turned angry, "Qin Bai, since General Deputy Xiao Yi has slain that evil cultivator, not only is there no wrongdoing, but instead, he has made great contributions."
"General Deputy Xiao Yi, risking serious injury, achieved such a great deed, if anyone dares to slander again, don’t blame my Wind Shattering Hall for being impolite."
Qin Family Great Elder’s face changed instantly upon hearing this and he remained silent.
The Qin Family, although one of the Three Great Families in the Four-direction Domain.
And he, Qin Bai, holding the position of Great Elder in the Qin Family, has always been dignified.
But in front of the eight Vice Hall Masters of the Eight Palaces, he does not have the privilege to speak freely.
"General Deputy Xiao Yi." The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall said pleasantly, "Please wait here, I will report to the Main Hall Master now."
"Regarding this matter, you shall be credited greatly."
"Moreover, for the matter of killing the evil cultivator, as usual, it still has to be reported and recorded."
"Of course, just going through the motions is fine, later, I will have someone come to record it for you."
After speaking, the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall quickly left.
Not long after, a staff member from the Wind Shattering Hall arrived, politely inquiring.
Xiao Yi reported according to the protocol.
The seven Vice Hall Masters beside him did not leave and patiently listened to the events that transpired.
Only Qin Family Great Elder had a look of impatience.
It seemed that every word spoken by Xiao Yi was utterly unbearable to his ears.
After ten minutes, the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall returned.
"General Deputy Xiao Yi." The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall, full of Xiao Yi, said, "The Main Hall Master has examined the Blood-sucking Pearl."
"Your achievement in killing the evil cultivator has been confirmed without error."
"However, you might need to stay in the Four-direction City for some time."
"Why?" Xiao Yi frowned, his face also showing dissatisfaction.
The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall smiled broadly, "Please don’t misunderstand, General Deputy Xiao Yi."
"First of all, let me congratulate you, not General Deputy Xiao Yi, but rather Vice Hall Master Xiao Yi."
"What?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall chuckled, "By order of the Main Hall Master, General Deputy Xiao Yi is promoted to Vice Hall Master."
"However, the Main Hall of the Four-direction Domain is one of the Ten Main Halls of the Central Region."
"Therefore, aside from the Main Hall Master’s appointment, the position of Vice Hall Master must also be reported to the Main Hall."
"The Main Hall will make a record, and after some necessary procedures, information will be sent back."
"Is it that troublesome?" Xiao Yi kept his brows furrowed.
"It’s not very troublesome," the Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall laughed, "It’s just a matter of a few days."
"After all, for a vice-master title within the Ten Main Halls, indeed the procedures are slightly more."
"In the future, throughout the Central Region, in the tens of thousands of sub-halls of the Wind Shattering Hall, Vice Hall Master Xiao Yi can exercise the authority of a vice-master."
"In terms of status and power in the Ten Main Halls, it would be on par with me."
"Congratulations to Vice Hall Master Xiao Yi." The surrounding seven Vice Hall Masters congratulated altogether, cupping their hands, performing gestures of equality.
