Chapter 1912: Chapter 1912: Each Their Own Revenge
Two hours later, Xiao Yi descended into the Main Hall.
Here, it was already within the territory of Shaking Star Mansion.
But it wasn’t the actual domain of Shaking Star Mansion, merely its external affiliated forces.
And this Main Hall was the Black Demon Hall Main Hall within this territory.
The Hall Master was a powerful figure with the Supreme 9993 Dao.
This Main Hall had not been affected...
Yet within this territory, sixteen entire Black Demon Branch Halls had been cleansed in blood.
Two hours ago, Xiao Yi had already been in hot pursuit all the way.
But clearly, since Evil Lord Mansion was intent on revenge, they wouldn’t allow him any chance to stop them.
"Deacon Xiao Xun, is this the grudge you stirred up?" The person in charge of the Main Hall coldly looked at Xiao Yi.
"Say that again." Xiao Yi’s voice was icy to the extreme.
The Evil Lord Mansion has attacked, and yet a dignified Black Demon Hall Main Hall Master initially thinks not of the rampant evil cultivators, but instead blames the Black Demon Hall Martial Artists for provoking the Evil Lord Mansion?
The degree of disarray in Black Demon Hall truly astonished Xiao Yi to the extreme.
The person in charge of the Main Hall slightly softened his tone and said, "I’m merely stating the facts."
Xiao Yi coldly replied, "What you mean is that Black Demon Hall Martial Artists don’t care about evil cultivators?"
"Do you just allow evil cultivators to slaughter freely but pretend not to see it?"
"What is the duty of the Eight Palaces, need I remind you? Is it that even your Main Hall, doesn’t have the necessity to continue existing?"
Perhaps Xiao Yi’s tone was too chilling.
Or maybe his raspy and piercing voice made one’s heart shudder.
The person in charge of the Main Hall only muttered, "Demon beasts, desperados, we in Black Demon Hall spare no effort, but such vicious and crazed evil cultivators, why provoke them?"
Xiao Yi glanced at him.
The Main Hall’s person in charge quickly fell silent.
Whoosh...
Precisely at this moment, a figure flew swiftly outside the Main Hall.
"Hei Bai Hall Master, you’re finally here." The person in charge of the Main Hall looked at the newcomer, his face alight with joy.
"You must be Deacon Xiao Xun?" The newcomer ignored the Main Hall person in charge and instead looked towards Xiao Yi.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yi asked with furrowed brows.
The newcomer cupped his hands respectfully and said gravely, "I am Hei Bai, Vice Hall Master of Shaking Star Main Hall, long have I heard of Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun’s great name."
Shaking Star Main Hall is the strongest Black Demon Hall Main Hall within the territory of Shaking Star Mansion.
This Hei Bai Hall Master should be the second most powerful under the Main Hall Master.
Meaning, in the territory of Shaking Star Mansion, this person’s strength is second only to the Shaking Star Main Hall Master.
At this time, Hei Bai Hall Master took out several documents and slammed them heavily onto the desk.
"The Evil Lord Mansion has truly gone too far."
"In just a few hours, my Black Demon Hall has had sixteen Branch Halls slaughtered, Heavenly Mechanism Hall and Soul Hall each lost ten Branch Halls, and not a single Palace Martial Artist, Law Enforcement Team, Deacon, or Sub Hall Master survived."
"Deacon Xiao Xun." Hei Bai looked at Xiao Yi and said seriously, "It is well known that these days you’ve been clearing out evil cultivators all the way."
"Though I don’t know how you managed to precisely locate these evil cultivators."
"But in dealing with these evil cultivators, we rely on your assistance, Deacon Xiao Xun."
"I’m afraid Black Demon Hall may produce a superpower no less than Purple Flame Yi Xiao." The Main Hall person in charge was smiling at this moment.
Xiao Yi ignored him and looked at Hei Bai, "Leave the matters ahead to me."
Upon hearing this, Hei Bai furrowed his brows, "Deacon Xiao Xun, do you intend to act alone?"
"Absolutely not, evil cultivators are incredibly ruthless, and their methods are cryptic and unpredictable."
"You can easily find out the location of these evil cultivators, and our Main Hall will dispatch the Law Enforcement Team, joining forces with other Main Halls for a joint purge."
"No need, that is too slow." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"I came to this Main Hall just to check the situation."
"I won’t stay much longer, farewell."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi’s figure flickered and he departed.
...
In the high skies, Xiao Yi flew rapidly.
The revenge of the evil cultivators was fiercer than he imagined.
Normally, the ordinary forces would hardly dare move against the Eight Palaces’ Branch Halls.
The fury of the Eight Palaces is a burden none can bear.
But the Evil Lord Mansion is an exception, they were already targets on the Eight Palaces’ wanted list.
Most importantly, their movements are mysterious.
The Evil Lord Mansion’s stronghold remains undiscovered to this day.
That’s why the Evil Lord Mansion dares to move against the Eight Palaces’ Branch Halls.
Besides them, there are desperados who hold territories without fixed locations.
Driven by profit, no matter how powerful the Eight Palaces are, there will always be forces or martial artists willing to risk danger.
Thus, the enemies of the Eight Palaces Martial Artists and Law Enforcement Teams are not only evil cultivators but numerous ruthless forces.
These are not evil cultivators, yet their deeds equal that of evil cultivators.
Though they do not practice the Evil Dao, they slaughter freely for cultivation items and power.
It is this countless number of forces and connections that create this intriguing yet perilous Central Region.
The depths of the Central Region are deeper than imagined.
To speak of it, the ten Peak Martial Artists who attacked him previously outside the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, Xiao Yi still doesn’t know which entity they’re under.
This Central Region ultimately has some understated yet exceptionally strong forces.
The Eight Palaces, they strategize amid forces that potentially destabilize any domain’s order.
Thus, the Eight Palaces spare no effort to ensure stability on this continent, and are revered by all, holding unparalleled status.
"Whew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.
He originally wanted to swiftly retrieve the Treasures within the Eighteen Cave Mansions, and exchange them for the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit as soon as possible.
But now, it seems that as long as one is out cultivating, peace is never truly attainable.
Grudges and conflicts will inevitably arise.
"Since they chose to provoke me, don’t blame me for being ruthless." Xiao Yi’s voice was cold to the extreme, amidst hoarseness.
The retaliation from the Evil Lord Mansion didn’t frighten him.
On the contrary, it merely incited his killing intent.
He would see whether the Evil Lord Mansion’s revenge or his speed in eliminating evil cultivators would prevail.
...
One day later.
With this Main Hall as the center, around the major cities in the region, all evil cultivators were entirely eradicated.
Three days later.
Within the realm of Shaking Star Mansion and its surrounding five territories, all evil cultivators were completely purged.
Five days later.
Xiao Yi surpassed the Shaking Star Mansion’s domain.
Ten days later.
Within the Shaking Star Territory Main Hall, on the Main Hall Master’s desk, a heavy document was slowly opened.
"In ten days, sweeping through 20 territories and 3000 major cities, evil cultivators suffered casualties exceeding one hundred thousand."
"Tsk tsk, looks like my Black Demon Hall might produce a monster surpassing that Purple Flame Yi Xiao."
An elder slowly closed the document with a smile.
"Main Hall Master." Beside him, a Palace Martial Artist spoke with an amazed tone, "According to intelligence reports, the number of evil cultivators killed each hour continues to rise."
"This Deacon Xiao Xun seems to have gone mad."
"Perhaps in less than a month, evil cultivators within the entire range of the Eighteen Mansions will be thoroughly eliminated."
"Excellent." The elder coldly chuckled, "Since they’ve sought revenge against our Black Demon Hall, they should be prepared for retribution from our Black Demon Hall’s Heavenly Talent."
"Oh, is that so?" Precisely at this moment, an icy voice suddenly rang out.
"Who goes there?" The elder was startled.
The Palace Martial Artist beside him hadn’t even managed to utter a sound before he crumbled to the ground, turning into a corpse.
The elder’s eyes went dark, and he collapsed.
...
Ninth update. (Explosion)
