Chapter 1874: Chapter 1874: Golden Peng Palace Master
When stopped by Guu Feifan earlier, Xiao Yi briefly sensed the situation.
Guu Feifan’s cultivation had reached Supreme 9992 levels.
He is a Heavenly Talent, and if his strength is fully unleashed, he could indeed go head-to-head with Poison Robe.
Of course, there’s only a possibility of this happening.
Moreover, it’s merely one battle; there’s absolutely no chance of winning.
However, with such strength, leading a training exercise is more than adequate.
It was their final words that shocked Xiao Yi greatly.
Before entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, did he forcibly raise his cultivation level?
Xiao Yi recollected that this was indeed the case. Before entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, talents from the Five Great Academy and several Heavenly Talents from the Eighteen Mansions suddenly experienced a surge in cultivation.
Take Lingg Hong and Heu Youu for example. Back when they were in the Blood Light Dangerous Land, they had just gone through their second Martial Soul awakening, with cultivation around the Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.
Less than a year later, at most 8 or 9 months later, by the time they were met again at Dongli Sword Palace, they had already surpassed Martial Arts Great Power level?
The most apparent change was in Guu Feifan.
Xiao Yi remembers when he saved everyone from that group of Evil Cultivators in the Eastern Range, at that time, Guu Feifan had just stepped into Martial Arts Great Power.
Back then, Xiao Yi was slightly surprised.
Later, within a few months, upon meeting again before the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, Guu Feifan had already stepped into the Supreme Realm.
He actually forced the upgrade of his cultivation?
Xiao Yi awakened to this realization; no wonder he had trained endlessly to the extreme, yet was still unable to catch up with these individuals’ cultivation levels.
Other Overlord Force powerhouses aside.
But those Old Deans from the Five Great Academy indeed have remarkable means.
Especially Dean Huoo, although Xiao Yi couldn’t determine his cultivation level.
However, given those methods and teaching capabilities, within the Central Region, surely no one could surpass him.
Every Heavenly Talent experienced a cultivation surge before entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.
While Xiao Yi had an even more astounding cultivation surge after entering the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.
Of course, those surges are completely gone now.
"What lies within the Legend? What kind of scenery is it?" In Xiao Yi’s eyes, there is nothing but a look of anticipation.
Currently, he only cares about matters of strength and cultivation.
Naturally, in his heart, there is curiosity and anticipation for the scenery within the Legendary Realm.
"I hope within this half-year, I can find this opportunity." Xiao Yi thought quietly.
...
Soon, Xiao Yi had entered East Smoke Territory Range.
Descending from the sky, Xiao Yi headed for the Black Demon Hall Main Hall.
Completed his tasks and took on a large number of new ones.
Just about to leave.
The Law Enforcement Team within the hall unexpectedly stopped him again.
"Is it once more about the Golden Iron Saint Emperor’s matter?" Xiao Yi’s tone had already turned a bit unkind.
The leading Law Enforcement Captain nodded, "Please follow us to the back hall, Xiao Xun Deacon."
"The Main Hall from the Eastern Range has already sent a message to us here at East Smoke Main Hall."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded slightly.
The Main Hall from the previous region stopped him because there wasn’t any confirmed news.
The Main Hall of this region, since the message has arrived, shouldn’t pose too much trouble; it’s merely going through the motions to conclude this incident.
After all, a Main Hall Master died, which is not a trivial matter.
Entering the Inner Hall of the palace.
Up ahead, two elders were already waiting.
Surrounding them were palace powerhouses encircling the area.
Behind him, the Law Enforcement Team quickly blocked retreat paths.
Those who came were unfriendly.
Xiao Yi instantly understood the situation.
"Where’s the message from the Main Hall of the Eastern Range?" Xiao Yi directly asked.
"There isn’t one." One of the elders replied coldly, shaking his head.
"Still not here?" Xiao Yi’s eyes cooled.
"No hurry." The elder said in a deep voice, "I am the one in charge of the East Smoke Main Hall."
"This person beside me is the Golden Peng Palace Master."
As he spoke, he glanced at the other elder.
This speaker, dressed in a black robe, was wearing the attire of the Black Demon Hall Main Hall Master, precisely the Main Hall Master of East Smoke Main Hall.
Beside him, the other elder was equally elderly but tall and thin, with a cold face. Most notably, those eyes shone with the sharp gaze of a fierce beast.
Moreover, this elder wore a light white robe.
On the chest area of the robe, there was a round mysterious pattern.
This signified the attire of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall.
Proving that this tall and thin elder was the Main Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall.
"Golden Peng Palace Master?" Xiao Yi slightly frowned. He had heard of this person but wasn’t familiar.
Xiao Yi ignored this person but looked at the East Smoke Hall Master, "Since there hasn’t been any message, why make me come here?"
"This..." The East Smoke Hall Master hesitated slightly.
Beside him, the Golden Peng Palace Master spoke coldly, "Why waste words with this guy."
"Black Robe Xiao Xun, yes? Old man only asks you, is the Golden Iron Saint Emperor truly killed by you?"
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "But that was because he violated hall regulations..."
Golden Peng Palace Master interrupted coldly, "There’s no need for explanation."
"Whether hall rules were violated is not for you to say."
"A mere Black Demon Hall Deacon dares to overstep and kill a Main Hall Master?"
"Just for this alone, it’s justified for me to kill you right now."
The Golden Peng Palace Master spoke with an increasingly chilling intent.
"I’ve known the Golden Iron Saint Emperor for a century."
"Do you know the feeling when I saw his separated corpse, reduced to a mummified body in the Silent Poison Dangerous Land?"
"To kill someone is just a quick matter, yet you commit such cruelty?"
Xiao Yi’s eyes cooled, "Setting traps, slaughtering brothers, isn’t that cruel?"
"Insolence." The East Smoke Hall Master reprimanded, "The matter is not concluded. It’s not for you to malign the Golden Iron Saint Emperor."
"You, a mere deacon, yet dare to defame the Main Hall Master. Just for this, I have enough reason to apprehend you according to hall regulations."
"Then wait until the matter is settled and the conclusion is drawn, and then come to find me." Xiao Yi said coldly, turning to leave.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
All palace martial artists nearby instantly erupted with momentum.
"Forcibly detain me?" Xiao Yi’s voice carried no trace of vitality.
"Detaining you?" Golden Peng Palace Master laughed coldly, "Do you think I chased you from the Silent Poison Dangerous Land just to hold you here?"
"Today, I’m going to take your life."
"Your life?" Xiao Yi sneered slightly, "The message from the Eastern Range hasn’t arrived yet, the outcome unknown, what right do you have to kill me?"
"You already said." Golden Peng Palace Master sneered, "The message hasn’t arrived, no one knows the truth."
"At the very least, in my eyes, it was you who killed the Golden Iron Saint Emperor, and you’ve been fleeing from your crimes, your death isn’t regretful."
Xiao Yi, who was preparing to leave, stopped and faced Golden Peng Palace Master squarely.
"If the message proves true later, revealing the Golden Iron Saint Emperor indeed violated the hall rules and slaughtered brothers?"
"That’s not my concern." Golden Peng Palace Master sneered.
"If so, consider yourself unlucky."
"Heh." Xiao Yi finally showed a smile, "So, you intend to use personal vendetta under the guise of justice?"
"So what if I am?" Golden Peng Palace Master fully unleashed his momentum, overwhelmingly domineering.
Xiao Yi ignored him but looked towards the East Smoke Hall Master, "East Smoke Hall Master, what is your stance?"
"There’s currently no evidence, no conclusion yet, Golden Peng Palace Master wants to kill to vent anger first."
"How do you, as the Black Demon Hall Main Hall Master, intend to handle this?"
The East Smoke Hall Master, once with a cold expression, now stayed silent, not meeting Xiao Yi’s gaze, merely turning his head slightly, indifferent.

Fifth update. (Explosion)
