Chapter 1910: Chapter 1910: Dongfang Zhi
The strands of white Sword Intent suddenly made the woman’s pupils shrink.
"Sword Emperor Origin." The woman coldly uttered these four words.
"Mo Youu." The woman stared directly at Mo Youu, her icy demeanor becoming somewhat complex.
"You are still as you always were, going your own way, never listening to others."
"For this person, you’re even willing to sacrifice the Sword Emperor Origin, intent on a life-and-death duel with me?"
"Had I known sooner, I would rather you never uttered the words ’know me.’"
Mo Youu, hearing this, remained silent, but his expression grew increasingly complex.
"Come back to the Dongfang Family with me." The woman spoke first.
"Now you possess the strongest Sword Dao Martial Soul and also carry the Sword Emperor Origin."
"Regarding the matter from back then, father may not necessarily refuse."
Mo Youu, having heard, shook his head this time.
"Dongfang Zhi..." Mo Youu uttered the woman’s name, but suddenly choked.
"Forget it." Mo Youu sighed.
"Years ago, I defeated all the Heavenly Talents in the western region, except for that talent from your Dongfang Family."
"If one day I am confident I can defeat him, I will revisit the Dongfang Family."
"Oh?" The icy demeanor on the woman’s face suddenly melted away.
"With such words, are you agreeing?"
Mo Youu shook his head, "I will go, but only for a duel, nothing more."
"You..." The woman’s expression instantly returned to Cold Frost.
Just at that moment.
Behind Mo Youu, Xiao Yi’s figure slowly stood up.
The Poison Dao Power within the Poison Pill had been completely absorbed by him.
Counting the poison acquired from slaying Evil Cultivators in previous days, coupled with this Poison Dao Power from the Poison Pill, barely allowed him to advance by one level of Cultivation.
Reaching Supreme 9991 Dao.
Now with the Poison Pill fully absorbed, his hand was empty.
The Six Desolate Poison Formation dispersed in an instant.
Xiao Yi adjusted his robes, turning to leave.
In his eyes, it seemed as though he directly ignored the two nearby individuals.
"You saw it." The woman—no, Dongfang Zhi—coldly chuckled.
"This person’s character is fickle, traces of madness."
"In his eyes, he likely disregards everything by now."
"You know, I never see wrongly."
Mo Youu frowned hearing this.
"Not a word of thanks would he say." Dongfang Zhi, icy in her tone, with a touch of malice.
"Rescued by someone, yet in his eyes, there’s not the slightest ripple, only cold indifference."
"I fear that even when he kills, he would be so, only cold indifference."
"A Monster is not terrifying; what is terrifying is when this Monster descends to the point of disregarding life, lawless."
Step...
Xiao Yi’s steps that originally turned to leave suddenly halted.
"What? Dissatisfied? Going to take action against me?" Dongfang Zhi sneered disdainfully.
Xiao Yi cast a cold glance at Dongfang Zhi, "Young lady, you seem to be of a certain age, not like those fledgling girls."
"How..."
Xiao Yi hesitated, his tone equally icy, "How could you also be so unrestrained in speech?"
"Addressing me as a Monster with every word, don’t you find it rather rude?"
"Or is that your character?"
Dongfang Zhi showed no concern for this ridicule, "What, you don’t consider yourself a Monster?"
"Though you wear a Black Robe and mask, your whole demeanor clearly suggests you are a Monster."
"I admit." Xiao Yi nodded his head.
"But I don’t care to hear it."
"And then?" Dongfang Zhi retorted, her tone even more disdainful.
"Then? Ha." Xiao Yi shook his head coldly.
"If there weren’t an old fellow standing behind you, I wonder if you’d have the courage to speak unbridled like this."
"So confident in revealing people’s scars."
"Such self-assured disdain."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Dongfang Zhi’s brows furrowed slightly.
She of course knew that there was a family strongman accompanying her.
Mo Youu also frowned, but he did not sense another strongman behind Dongfang Zhi.
Xiao Yi’s steps moved again.
"Were I not knowing you and the Poison Robe weren’t together, just you letting the Poison Robe escape would suffice for me to label you with a crime and kill you on the spot."
"Later, ask the old fellow behind you, would he be able to stop me if I wanted to kill you?"
Once these words fell.
Xiao Yi’s figure had already distanced itself.
In the shadows, an elder’s body suddenly trembled.
He sharply sensed that a strand of invisible power on him was extraordinarily cold.
"Soul Master?"
...
Xiao Yi had already gone far.
Yet in his heart, doubts lingered.
The western region, Dongfang Family?
He knew that back then, Mo Youu swept through the regions, challenging all major forces’ Heavenly Talents without defeat.
From what he understood, there were no truly strong forces in the western region, at most, first-class or second-class forces.
Had it been a few years earlier, he might have gone there for training.
But now, there simply aren’t places that offer him effective training.
Yet this Dongfang Family, he hadn’t heard of before.
Moreover, just these few words causing the Poison Robe to flee with the wind?
Abandon the Blood Relics outright?
Clearly, this is a Hidden Family.
Furthermore, extremely strong.
Otherwise, a typical Hidden Force wouldn’t frighten the Poison Robe, let alone send him fleeing at a mere word.
And that elder hidden in the shadows.
Judging by Xiao Yi’s comparison, the elder’s aura is not at all weaker than Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master at those levels.
To have such a strongman secretly accompanying this woman indicates her family’s formidable strength.
Yet Xiao Yi wasn’t about to be afraid.
In a true life-and-death battle, he’s confident he can cut down the elder.
Of course, the consequence might mean his efforts these days all come to naught.
"Forget it." Xiao Yi shook his head, "The next destination, Shaking Star Mansion."
...
On the other side.
Mo Youu was already gone.
At the original spot, Dongfang Zhi stood beside an elder.
The elder’s hair and beard were white, his robes reflecting starry moonlight and a solar emblem.
Unable to discern what this emblem signifies.
But the elder was clearly formidable.
"Miss, fortunately, you didn’t truly confront that Xiao Xun." The elder softly remarked.
"After all, he’s one of the Eight Palace Martial Artists, and a Heavenly Talent whose fame has risen recently..."
"Eight Palaces?" Dongfang Zhi shook her head, "Today’s Eight Palaces are nothing but a joke."
The elder nodded, "Before going out, the Family Head advised that Miss may disregard anyone, but only one person must not be provoked."
"The Twins." The elder spoke before Dongfang Zhi could.
"The Twins?" Dongfang Zhi smiled, "Isn’t there only one left?"
"That’s why the Family Head says only one." The elder laughed.
"That Sword Dao Demons died somewhat regrettably."
"Otherwise, with his reputation in the Sword Dao exceeding even the Forget Sorrow Sword Mo Youu, by now he’d surely..."
"He was merely a dead man." Dongfang Zhi shook her head.
"He surpassed Mo Youu, but victories and losses aren’t definite."
"Mo Youu lives, and he is already dead, hence he is inferior to Mo Youu."
"That Yi Xiao, although seeming unmatched in his fame."
"During the Heavenly Hidden Academic Palace battle, Mo Youu lost once, but who knows, the laughing victor might still be Mo Youu in the end."
The elder smiled bitterly, "In any case, the Family Head stated, on this trip to the Holy Moon Sect, Miss may cause whatever mischief she desires but must not provoke Yi Xiao."
Dongfang Zhi’s expression clearly showed some disdain.
"Whatever, I don’t particularly wish to go to the Holy Moon Sect or to meet that Old Witch."
"Furthermore, that Holy Daughter has such a self-righteous air, always rejecting people, yet behind the scenes, isn’t she shamelessly yearning for a man?"
"Oh right, if I recall correctly, the person she’s yearning for is Xiao Yi."
"Merely from this point of view, my taste is evidently much higher than hers."
"If she learns that the person she’s yearning for has long died, one wonders how she would react?"
"This trip to the Holy Moon Sect, I will tell her, she is unworthy of being Hidden Genius number one, unworthy of being Phoenix List number one."
...
The seventh update. (Explosion)
