Chapter 1869: Chapter 1869: First Disappointment
Xiao Yi’s steps, wanting to retreat, suddenly halted.
He has already stepped into the Great Formation, wanting to retreat now is by no means an easy task.
In front, the sinister gaze of the Golden Iron Saint Emperor strikes, Xiao Yi is calm and unafraid.
A mere Supreme Realm with 9991 paths couldn’t scare him.
At this moment, Xiao Yi has also noticed the anomaly of the surrounding Black Mages.
Each Black Mage is standing, seemingly waiting, but in fact, they’re completely immobilized in place.
For a moment, Xiao Yi is immobilized as well.
The entire Great Formation encompasses several hundred meters.
Once you step inside it, you’ll be instantly immobilized.
Outside the Great Formation, there are still Black Mages arriving with looks of expectation.
What awaits each Black Mage is not a place to hand over tasks, but a long-planned death trap.
Inside the Great Formation, each Black Mage is immobilized, yet they can still speak.
Voices of cursing, questioning, and threatening resound continuously.
"Golden Iron Saint Emperor, you are the Main Hall Master of our Black Demon Hall, well-known far and wide, why commit such a heinous act?"
"Hmph, so many Black Mages gathered here, if all die without reason, even you, Golden Iron Saint Emperor, can’t cover it up, right?"
"Dignified Golden Iron Saint Emperor, laying down a Poison Formation to slaughter comrades, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"Golden Iron Saint Emperor, releasing the top assignment was just a guise? You merely lured us here to die?"
"Heh heh." Golden Iron Saint Emperor let out a cold laugh.
Under the enveloping Great Formation, these words will be isolated.
From outside, it looks at most like Golden Iron Saint Emperor is conversing with a group of Black Mages, discussing the task at hand.
Inside the Great Formation.
Golden Iron Saint Emperor sneered, "Heinous? What is heinous?"
"I have been trapped in the Supreme Realm for how many years; do you know?"
"As for a guise, it’s not really a guise."
Golden Iron Saint Emperor smiled coldly with triumph, "I do indeed need the large number of evil entities on the list."
"They are the materials needed for the Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation."
"Of course, that’s not enough; the various poisons on you and your Primordial Power, your Cultivation, are all great supplements for me."
"Under the Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation, you will be turned into poison water."
"Afterwards, I will use the power of the formation to break through in one fell swoop."
"As for afterward, heh heh." The laughter of Golden Iron Saint Emperor becomes increasingly sinister.
"My breakthrough in this place is known to all; releasing the assignment, waiting for you comrades to hand it over, is also known in the surrounding region."
"Naturally, some heinous Evil Cultivators will be attracted here, committing evil and poisonous acts."
"Evil Cultivators attack, I will fight valiantly with you all in resistance; unfortunately, the Evil Cultivators are ultimately too strong, and came prepared."
"You all perish, only I drag my heavily wounded body away by luck."
"Heh heh, is this excuse good?" The sinister laughter of Golden Iron Saint Emperor echoes in the ears of all present Black Mages.
Upon hearing these words, all Black Mages’ expressions change drastically.
Such an excuse seems full of errors.
But, if the blame is pushed onto Evil Cultivators, it seems reasonable and fitting.
If it really were so, they, these Black Mages, even if they die here today, it’s in vain.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
As Black Mages just stepped into the formation, various poisons on them automatically drift out.
Under the Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation, all types of poisons are automatically drawn out.
Including the inner cores of the Six Poison Six Cold Python within Xiao Yi’s body, all are drawn out.
"Oh?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor immediately notices these inner cores with chilling and poisonous auras.
"Tsk tsk, Six Poison Six Cold Python, already rare; you could kill dozens and collect all the inner cores?"
"Oh? There’s even a Python Emperor inner core."
"Haha, sadly, all of it has become a wedding dress for me."
Golden Iron Saint Emperor’s sinister gaze fixes on Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi feels this gaze but pays no heed.
Under the broad Black Robe, plans are in place.
Various poisonous items float forward, then automatically leap into a poison pool ahead.
That poison pool accumulates the Poison Dao Power for the breakthrough Golden Iron Saint Emperor awaits.
At this moment, more and more Black Mages gather.
All realize the disaster only a moment after entering the formation, but it’s already too late.
The number of Black Mages trapped within the formation has reached several hundred.
Within that poison pool, the poisonous aura grows ever denser.
The Golden Iron Saint Emperor maintains the formation while refining the Poison Dao Power within the poison pool.
Judging by this, it shouldn’t be long before all the power within the pool is refined.
At that time, it will become pure Poison Power, absorbed by the Golden Iron Saint Emperor.
Of course, also at that time, will be everyone’s demise.
Each Black Mage shows a face of despair.
The previous cursing and questioning are no more.
Within the several hundred-meter range of the formation, all is deathly silent.
No one can contend with a Supreme Expert like the Golden Iron Saint Emperor.
At this time, a hoarse voice slowly arises.
"Golden Iron Saint Emperor, may I ask you a question?" The speaker is naturally Xiao Yi.
"Oh?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor immediately looks at Xiao Yi.
From the beginning, the Golden Iron Saint Emperor had his eyes on Xiao Yi.
This Black Robed oddity who spoke the name of the formation as soon as he entered, later having a whole heap of Six Poison Six Cold Python inner cores drawn out, definitely caught his attention early on.
"Ask away." Golden Iron Saint Emperor sneers, "After all, among all the Black Mages here, only you brought the most poison to me."
"I can let you die with understanding."
Xiao Yi’s voice rasped, "You have an excuse, can frame Evil Cultivators."
"But, if the Main Halls were to investigate, this faulty excuse would be revealed immediately."
"Where do you get the confidence to lure and kill each Black Mage here?"
"I thought you would ask something." Golden Iron Saint Emperor sneered.
"My excuse is just fictional; if investigated, the Main Halls would indeed find flaws."
"But, what if they don’t investigate, but simply believe my statement?"
"Hahaha." Golden Iron Saint Emperor increasingly smug, "Within the Black Demon Hall, no one has the leisure to investigate me."
The aura within that poison pool becomes more and more pure.
"Not investigating?" Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed in an instant, and he immediately understood.
Though he already knew the Black Demon Hall was extremely fragmented, Xiao Yi never thought it would be fragmented to this extent.
Such a large number of Black Mages dying for no reason, and the Main Hall wouldn’t investigate, would just listen to one side?
Originally, Xiao Yi did not suspect Golden Iron Saint Emperor placing the task handover location in a dangerous area.
Because, this is the Main Hall Master of one of the Eight Palaces.
Because, even if he does not understand the Black Demon Hall, this is still one of the Eight Palaces revered by everyone on the continent.
But now, for the first time, Xiao Yi feels a sense of disappointment toward the Black Demon Hall.
...
Third Chapter.
Today’s updates, complete.
First, let me, Little Eight, complain: Are you all obsessed with appearances?
I just wrote Xiao Yi as a bit ugly, and you all criticized me for several days.
But in my opinion, ugly is just a bit ugly, but great martial prowess is far more important, right?
Secondly, the promised ten-Chapter burst will take place tomorrow; everyone, please be patient.
Xiao Yi’s opportunity for recovery will appear tomorrow.
