Chapter 278: Chapter 277: Walking on Blood

Back in Northern Mountain County,

the Great Elder had warned Xiao Yi.

After arriving at the Royal Capital, do not mention your relationship with Elder Yi.

At that time, he saw Xiao Yi as a smart person.

He wouldn’t do something so foolish.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

Sometimes, even the smartest people, because of their impulsiveness,

might do something exceedingly foolish.

It wasn’t that they weren’t smart enough.

Rather, to outsiders, the act seemed extraordinarily foolish.

To them, however, it seemed perfectly justified.

The Great Elder, even more so, was well aware of Xiao Yi’s character.

He had witnessed Xiao Yi’s resoluteness.

”Sigh,” the Great Elder suddenly let out a sigh.

”Since you’ve already decided, I won’t say much more.”

”The path of Martial Arts for a Martial Artist is extremely long.”

”In this world, billions of beings pursue it their entire lives, yet ultimately fail to see the end of this path.”

”Even so, countless people still tirelessly seek it.”

”Even if the path is full of thorns.”

”Even if the path is filled with slaughter and countless obstacles lie ahead.”

”Martial Artists, therefore, encounter many choices in this life.”

”In my view, these choices should be in one’s own hands.”

”Not decided by someone else.”

The Great Elder spoke with great earnestness.

”Thank you, Great Elder,” Xiao Yi said seriously.

The Great Elder waved his hand, saying, ”Ask.”

”I know you have many questions for me.”

”I will answer what I can.”

”For things I cannot speak of, don’t blame me.”

”Since the decision is in your hands.”

”All I can do is clear some of the dense fog on that unclear path ahead.”

”To ensure your decisions aren’t made blindly.”

”Thank you, Great Elder,” Xiao Yi said, performing a formal bow this time.

”Then, Great Elder, please answer the two questions I just asked.”

The Great Elder nodded, pondered for a moment.

After a long pause, he finally said, ”The first question, you can’t find any traces of Shiyi.”

”I can assure you, Shiyi is indeed in the Royal Capital.”

”It’s just that, the Royal Capital is vast, comparable to an entire county.”

”And if Shiyi deliberately wants to hide his tracks.”

”How could you possibly find any trace of him?”

”Besides, if you could easily trace him.”

”Wouldn’t it mean that his enemies could easily find him too?”

Xiao Yi nodded, having expected this to some degree.

”The second question,” the Great Elder said, his expression suddenly becoming solemn.

”I’ve answered you before, and you guessed correctly.”

”Shiyi’s information has been concealed.”

”Many years ago, when Shiyi left the Royal Capital to travel everywhere.”

”His name was completely sealed away.”

”Becoming an existence that should be forgotten.”

Xiao Yi asked in a grave tone, ”Who has the power to conceal all this?”

Xiao Yi remembered that even Elder Xue knew of Elder Yi’s reputation.

Even though Elder Yi had left the Royal Capital many years ago.

Elder Xue quickly recalled that Northern Mountain County was Elder Yi’s hometown.

This proved that Elder Yi’s fame was not insignificant, rather, it was immense.

To completely conceal such a famously known Martial Artist.

To the extent that he becomes unknown, was almost impossible.

Just like in Northern Mountain County, the name of Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch was known to all.

In Northern Mountain County, who could conceal his past existence?

Although Elder Yi’s reputation in the Royal Capital might not match that of the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch in Northern Mountain County,

the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch was from over a hundred years ago.

Elder Yi, just a decade or two ago, was still active in the Royal Capital.

How could it be possible to just conceal him.

The Great Elder said gravely, ”The one who concealed Shiyi’s information.”

”Is not just one person.”

”Uh?” Xiao Yi frowned deeply.

”It’s everyone,” the Great Elder said emphatically.

”What do you mean?” Xiao Yi’s brow furrowed even tighter.

The Great Elder spoke gravely, ”This is why I warned you not to mention your relationship with Shiyi.”

”Shiyi’s enemies are numerous.”

”In a way, his enemy is the entire Flame Martial Kingdom.”

”What do you mean?” Xiao Yi asked again.

The Great Elder answered, ”Both the sect and the two valleys hold grudges against Shiyi.”

”Medicine King Valley has a grudge too?” Xiao Yi became even more puzzled.

”As far as I know, the people of Medicine King Valley do not like conflicts.”

The Great Elder shook his head, saying, ”Conflicts, sometimes, erupt unexpectedly.”

”Shiyi once caused a huge disturbance in Medicine King Valley.”

”Why?” Xiao Yi asked, ”Although Elder Yi has a peculiar personality, he isn’t someone who creates trouble without reason.”

”It wasn’t Shiyi who was unreasonable,” the Great Elder stated.

”Back to the earlier question.”

”Besides the sect and the two valleys, Shiyi has many enemies, almost covering the entire Royal Capital.”

Speaking of this, the Great Elder’s face showed a mix of sighs and nostalgia.

”You can’t imagine how outstanding Shiyi was back then.”

”His Martial Arts talent and refining talent were beyond comparison.”

”Yet, he was an extremely proud and unrestrained man.”

”You can imagine why he has made so many enemies.”

Back then, when the Great Elder was young, he and Elder Yi went to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect together.

And they were the only two disciples from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in Northern Mountain County to join the Sword Sect.

Naturally.

He was most aware of what Elder Yi had done back then.

However, Xiao Yi clearly noticed.

The Great Elder, whenever mentioning the matters of Elder Yi’s past, would gloss over them.

The real details, however, were skillfully deflected by him.

At this point, the Great Elder continued.

”Shiyi has many enemies.”

”The only one not related to Shiyi at all is the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall.”

”The only ones who can be called friends are the Shen Family, one of the Four Great Families of the Royal Capital.”

The Four Great Families of the Royal Capital are all major powers.

The entire Royal Capital is very large, comparable to a county in size.

Northern Mountain County alone has one hundred and fifty cities.

One can imagine how vast the scope of the Royal Capital is.

Here, too, are distributed various kinds of forces.

However, these forces are not too complexly distributed.

After all, this is the Royal Capital.

”Is there anything else you would like to ask?” asked the Great Elder.

”Yes.” Xiao Yi nodded. ”The Great Elder once said.”

”Elder Yi once had a disobedient disciple.”

”Moreover, the Great Elder seemed not to explicitly state why the Sky-splitting Sword Sect also wanted to cover up Elder Yi’s information.”

”Does it have something to do with that disobedient disciple?”

”Smart,” the Great Elder praised profoundly.

Speaking with a clever person is always an easy task.

”About that disobedient disciple, I think, there is no need for me to say more.”

”Because his name is Bai Mohan.”

As the Great Elder’s voice fell,

a drastic change came over Xiao Yi’s face.

”Bai Mohan?”

In the entire Flame Martial Kingdom, there was no one who did not know this name.

Bai Mohan, the leader of the Six Talents of the Royal Capital.

Number one on the Flame Martial List and dominating it for ten years straight, with no one surpassing him.

Until a few days ago, when he had just turned 30.

He had automatically fallen off the Flame Martial List.

The Flame Martial List only records the young talents under 30 years old.

At the same time, he was also promoted to an elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Praised as the youngest elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Years ago, it was rumored that he had reached the Heavenly Origin Realm in his Cultivation.

Now, his Cultivation level has far surpassed what it was then.

Xiao Yi composed himself and asked, ”Can the Great Elder elaborate?”

”Sure.” The Great Elder nodded.

”This child is a supreme genius.”

”Entered the Sky-splitting Sword Sect at the age of eight, taken as a disciple by Shiyi at the age of nine.”

”Reached the Innate Realm at ten, and achieved the Mystic Breakthrough at fifteen.”

”I am not clear about his realms afterward.”

”Because at the age of fifteen, it was the same day he severed his relationship with Shiyi.”

”That day, Shiyi also bloodbathed the Blood Mist Valley, turning the entire Royal Capital upside down.”

”Shortly after, he left the Royal Capital disheartened.”

”Not long after, I also left the Sword Sect and became an Elder at the Sword Sect.”

On hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.

There were many things the Great Elder did not elaborate on.

Perhaps the Great Elder did not know, or perhaps the Great Elder was unwilling to say more.

However, what exactly had happened back then.

That caused the inherently free-spirited Elder Yi, in his prime, to drastically change overnight.

And even suffered for many years.

”Alright, that’s all I will say,” declared the Great Elder.

”Have you decided on your earlier decision?”

”If you mention your relationship with Shiyi, the consequences...”

”Shiyi slaughtered Blood Mist Valley, you two have a deep grudge, Blood Mist Valley will not let you go.”

”Shiyi caused a disturbance in Medicine King Valley, the grudge is not big, but there will be obstructions against you.”

”And regarding the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, there is actually no enmity, so I dare let you enter the Sword Sect.”

”However, Bai Mohan is considered the most promising successor by the current Sect Master.”

”Even, for him, they did not hesitate to cover up the past matter between him and Shiyi.”

”If you dare to be associated with Shiyi.”

”Within the entire Royal Capital, you will find it difficult to move an inch.”

”Heh.” Xiao Yi gave a faint smile.

”Still the same words, if not mentioned, I will naturally not say.”

”If mentioned, I will surely speak.”

The Great Elder sighed and said, ”Since you have decided, I won’t obstruct you further.”

”But remember this. Bai Mohan is extremely cunning, ruthless, and you must be careful in everything.”

”Mm.” Xiao Yi nodded.

”Seemingly pure as paper on the surface, yet pitch-black like ink on the inside, cold-hearted and malicious.”

”Bai Mohan, I have noted it.”

The Great Elder continued in a solemn tone, ”We have spoken much today, and I believe you have had some thoughts.”

”Your long path of growth will also take place in the Royal Capital, or to say, in the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.”

”What do you plan to do in the future?”

”Nothing much.” Xiao Yi shook his head, his face resolute and cold.

”The path of Martial Arts is full of thorns and obstacles.”

”I will use my fist to shatter them all one by one.”

”If within the Royal Capital, movement becomes difficult.”

”I will walk through blood, those who block me, die!”
