Chapter 1983: Chapter 1983: Elephant Origin Region
Xiao Yi returns the treasure map and retrieves the token, then departs.
Leaving Guisha City, Xiao Yi transforms into a streak of black light, swiftly flying away.
He returned to Guisha City for two reasons: one, to take on sufficient missions.
Second, to take a look at the treasure map of the Guisha City Lord’s Mansion.
According to rumors, the treasury within the Guisha City Lord’s Mansion is frighteningly deep, nearly encompassing all the treasures in the world.
Issuing a mission in Guisha City requires a considerable price.
And for some extremely difficult missions, or those that few can complete, the price isn’t just Spirit Stone Spirit Veins.
It might very well be exceedingly rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, one-in-a-million Divine Weapons, and so on.
For millions of years, some of the terrifying missions issued in Guisha City are countless.
For any mission that ordinary Ghost Hunters can’t complete, the Guisha City Lord’s Mansion will invite a six-star Ghost Hunter to intervene.
It is said that each six-star Ghost Hunter within the Guisha City Lord’s Mansion has a hundred percent completion rate and their skills are unfathomable, truly like Netherworld Evil Ghosts.
To engage these six-star Ghost Hunters, the issuer of the mission pays a great price.
These exceptionally rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are one of them.
Xiao Yi originally just wanted to try his luck, didn’t expect there really was one.
In the treasure map, the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit is almost one of the highest-level treasures inside.
Only the Ghost Hunting King has the qualification to exchange for it.
"Ghost Hunting King?" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
There is less than a month left, no, at most half a month, before the Guisha Festival.
By then, they will select the strongest Ghost Hunter.
"Need to speed up." Xiao Yi coldly muttered to himself.
Though he is currently a Ghost Hunter, equivalent to assisting Guisha City.
But this does not violate the Eight Palaces’ rules.
Becoming an Eight Palace Martial Artist inherently doesn’t restrict any identity.
In the previous worldly regions, from ordinary martial artists to princes and nobles, as long as they have the ability and are willing, they can join the Eight Palaces, selecting one palace to enter.
The same applies in the Central Region.
As long as the Eight Palaces’ rules are not violated, any martial artist, regardless of their identity, can join the Eight Palaces.
Therefore, even if Xiao Yi is currently a Ghost Hunter, it doesn’t matter.
...
Three days later.
Boom...
In a certain region, within a certain large city.
A storm of soul power rushes through.
Inside the large city, the ordinary martial artists just feel a strange wind blowing through.
But a certain mansion within the city is instantly razed to the ground.
Within the mansion, hundreds of Evil Cultivators are all dead.
Xiao Yi flashes by from the sky, with a wave of his hand, collects the Universe Ring and then swiftly flies away.
The entire time, altogether took only a few seconds.
In these three days, he has cleared nearly 50 regions.
The speed is several times faster than a few days ago.
At this moment, he is not only flying at full speed, but also consuming the poison power within, directly bursting his physical strength and Poison Dao cultivation, traveling at full speed in a Demonic State.
Plus, using the Soul Master’s technique, he directly annihilates the Evil Cultivation Branch.
This is how he achieved the now remarkably rapid clearing speed.
Of course, as a result, in these three days, he has spent a considerable amount of poison refining materials and soul pills.
In fact, under the strength of this full power burst without rest, the burden on his body and consumption is enormous.
If kept like this, even Xiao Yi wouldn’t be able to bear it.
But with the remaining time, at most half a month, he can only fight it.
As long as he can obtain the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, everything is worth it.
...
Two days later.
Xiao Yi pauses briefly, disperses his strength, sits cross-legged in midair, and rests for a few minutes.
So far, he has cleared nearly a hundred regions.
Destroyed Evil Cultivation Branches, killed Evil Cultivators, have long been countless.
A few minutes later.
Xiao Yi bursts his strength again, hurrying on.
"Hmm?"
Soon, Xiao Yi’s figure suddenly halts in the sky.
Upon reaching a region, the first thing he does is to use Heaven and Earth Perception to find all the Evil Cultivators within the region.
But now, without even releasing Heaven and Earth Perception, he already frowns.
Because under his normal perception and view, the area in front is empty, desolate with no sign of life.
Swoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flashes, landing in the nearest large city.
The entire large city is empty as if it is a ghost town.
The empty and eerie atmosphere causes Xiao Yi to narrow his eyes.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
Xiao Yi flickers continuously, finally landing in the central city of the region.
Along the way, each large city is empty of people.
Including the current central city, it is the same.
Just then, swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...
From afar, several teams swiftly approach.
Each team shows vigilance, glaring at Xiao Yi with displeasure.
"Who are you?" The leaders of the teams shout in unison.
Xiao Yi recognizes their attire, this is the Law Enforcement Team from the Demon Hunting Hall and Flame Hall.
"Evil Cultivator?" The Captain of the Demon Hunting Hall Law Enforcement Team first shouted.
Just then, two more teams come from another direction in the distance.
Xiao Yi glances and also recognizes the attire of these two teams.
This is the attire of the Asura Hall and Wind Shattering Hall Law Enforcement Teams.
"Evil Cultivator?" The Captain of the Asura Hall Law Enforcement Team clenched his fist.
Behind, three teams swiftly approach.
Those are the Black Demon Hall, Heavenly Mechanism Hall, and Soul Hall’s Law Enforcement Teams.
"Evil Cultivator? No... are you Xiao Xun, Vice Hall Master?" A Captain from the Heavenly Mechanism Hall’s Law Enforcement Team stared at Xiao Yi.
The tone was first unfriendly, then surprised.
Xiao Yi nodded and took out the token.
"Indeed, it’s Xiao Xun, Vice Hall Master." The three hall law enforcement teams showed a delighted expression.
"Black Robe Xiao Xun?" The Asura and Wind Shattering Hall Law Enforcement Teams frowned slightly.
"Black Mage Xiao Xun?" The Demon Hunting Hall and Flame Hall Law Enforcement Teams nodded.
"What’s happened here?" Xiao Yi asked the Captain of the Heavenly Mechanism Hall’s Law Enforcement Team, "This vast region, empty of people?"
"What about the Eight Palace Main Hall?"
The Law Enforcement Team Captain hurriedly cupped his hand, and anxiously said, "We don’t know either."
"We are the Law Enforcement Team of the Main Hall in the Elephant Origin Region."
"Two days ago, the entire region suddenly changed color inexplicably."
"The Main Hall Master sent us out to investigate."
"But in just an hour, suddenly dark clouds covered the entire Elephant Origin Region."
"When we realized what happened, the region was empty, leaving no people or animals."
"Upon returning to the Main Hall, we found it was equally empty, including the Main Hall Master and all the Vice Hall Masters, Deacons."
"What?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Such a vast region, all martial artists disappeared out of thin air, and the Eight Palace Main Hall was also affected."
"With such a major matter, why not report to the Main Hall as soon as possible?"
Logically speaking, if this occurred two days ago and is such a significant issue, strong individuals from the Main Hall should’ve come to investigate already.
The surrounding Law Enforcement Team Captains smiled wryly, "The Communication Sub-Saint Artifacts from the Eight Main Halls are all malfunctioning now."
"Each of us inexplicably has prohibitions, unable to leave this Elephant Origin Region."
"So we can only investigate within the region, hoping to find some clues."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned more tightly.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi sniffed, perceived, and his expression changed drastically.
"It’s the scent of the Evil Heaven Pill..."
...
