Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2103: Chapter 2103: The Evil Lord Arrives

Fire Whale Territory, as a super-large territory in the Southern Range, is not inferior to the Eastern Range of the Six Dragon Territory.

Its own area is extremely vast, and the power of Martial Artists is also not weak.

But precisely because of this, the Evil Cultivator power stationed here by the Evil Lord Mansion will be even more terrifying.

The Fire Whale Territory, its adjacent territories almost span the entire Southern Range.

That is to say, to leave the Southern Range, one almost must pass through the Fire Whale Territory.

It is conceivable how massive the Evil Cultivator power stationed here by the Evil Lord Mansion would be.

When Xiao Yi stepped into this area, a strong sense of crisis already welled up in his heart.

This also indicates that within this region, there must be exceedingly formidable strong warriors.

The Martial Artist instincts honed over countless near-death experiences in recent years by Xiao Yi, as well as the foreboding sign of life-and-death danger, were exceptionally precise.

Thus, the moment he stepped in here, he had already guessed that this region would be quite difficult to navigate.

This place is a barrier.

Yet, as long as he crosses it, he can easily pass through the ordinary regions that follow.

Whether he can leave this blockade area safely all depends on this journey through the Fire Whale Territory.

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure shimmered as he began his stealthy movement without a sound.

As he traveled the path, indeed, the Evil Cultivators here were denser.

Others might not see it, but Xiao Yi recognized it at a glance.

Not only in number, but also in power, they were often at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm and above.

Among them were no shortage of Martial Arts Great Power and Supreme Realm individuals, even at a Legendary Level.

Legendary experts are not often seen openly.

But within such an ancient power as the Evil Lord Mansion, inherently rich in heritage and with countless years of accumulation, even though Legendary Level experts are not in abundance, they are by no means scarce either.

Xiao Yi cautiously moved through the area.

With his skills, as long as he did not reveal himself, no matter how densely the Evil Lord Mansion’s informants were placed, they could never detect him.

Time gradually passed by.

With each city Xiao Yi passed, each flicker he made, he was extremely cautious, as if a large stone weighed on his heart.

A single misstep would expose his trail, leading to a disaster beyond redemption.

Along the way, misery was still visible everywhere, with the passing Martial Artists and local Martial Artists all showing a touch of desolation and some despair.

Yet, Xiao Yi no longer paused for even a moment.

This was the final step, and he could not afford a mistake.

If he passed this, all would be well.

After two hours.

Xiao Yi’s figure appeared outside the Fire Whale Territory.

Indeed, he had already exited the Fire Whale Territory.

The density of Evil Cultivators outside the territory was clearly far less than inside.

Xiao Yi’s journey became much easier.

The stone weighing on his heart was finally set down.

Transversing the remaining ten territories would now be no challenge.

From this moment onward, it nearly meant that Xiao Yi could leave this blockade area with one hundred percent certainty.

In just one or two hours at most, he would thoroughly pass through the subsequent territories, then exert all his effort to control the air back to the Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall.

Everything would end here.

Including the pursuit by the Evil Lord Mansion, including the scourge of Evil Cultivators within this blockade area, including the unending havoc wreaked by Evil Cultivators causing cries everywhere these days.

The constant caution and mental tension over these days were not in vain.

Xiao Yi would personally put a perfect end to this crisis of Evil Cultivators that nearly shook the Central Region.

The pursuit and encirclement by the Evil Lord Mansion would become a joke!

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure moved.

But also in that instant, suddenly, white rain began to fall from the sky.

Tiny white raindrops descended, dense and numerous.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

As the white rain fell on his head, Xiao Yi reached out his hand to catch them.

It was not rain at all, nor was it actually raining.

It was a sheet of white paper, pure white and spotless, yet covered with glaring black characters.

White paper descended from the sky, covering the sky like a torrential white rain.

This white rain quickly spread across this blockade area within a short time, covering hundreds of territories.

Xiao Yi glanced at the white paper, his eyes suddenly contracting.

On the white paper were names he was all too familiar with.

Qin Yi, Tong Ye, Ye Liu, Ran Qi, Fang Shushu...

A dozen or so names, with several dozen large black characters, stung Xiao Yi’s eyes slightly.

Crash...

In the high sky, a massive light screen suddenly appeared.

Within the light screen was an image.

In the image was the ferocious face of Great Elder Xie Ruhai.

Behind him were the Heavenly Talents, each bound by Evil Chains.

Those young Heavenly Talents, Xiao Yi recognized them all.

The light screen only appeared for a dozen seconds before dissipating abruptly.

That was merely a streaming light image projected with vast Primordial Power by a Martial Artist, which a Great Elder of Xie Ruhai’s power from the Evil Lord Mansion could easily condense, and the projection could cover hundreds of territories.

Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze and looked back at the white paper.

On the white paper, beneath the names, was an eye-piercing sentence.

Kill one person every hundred breaths, either die or reveal yourself!

Its meaning was simple and straightforward.

Xie Ruhai would kill one person every hundred breaths, either the Heavenly Talents would die, or Xiao Yi himself would reveal himself.

Crash...

At the same time, one by one, Evil Cultivators flew across the high sky.

A torrential black rain thus fell.

They were countless dark pills, not too densely scattered, but it was obvious that they would appear anywhere in this blockade area.

Xiao Yi didn’t even need to pick up the pill to recognize it as the Evil Breath Pill.

The Evil Breath Pill was just an ordinary evil pill, of no particular use or value.

Also, ordinary Martial Artists taking it would have no effect.

This is a pill for transmitting aura between Evil Cultivators.

Xie Ruhai’s intention was equally simple: to make Xiao Yi, who was hiding in this blockade area, take the Evil Breath Pill himself.

Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, and he crumpled the white paper in his hand.

Once he took the Evil Breath Pill, the Evil Lord Mansion would immediately sense him and track him by the evil aura.

In other words, once he took the Evil Breath Pill, all his days of stealth would be for naught and wasted.

However, if he didn’t take it...

Hundred breaths of time, but it wasn’t long...

Xiao Yi glanced at the name on the white paper, his eyes cold, slightly softening.

”Qing Lin.” Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.

Crack, crack, crack...

Xiao Yi’s fist clenched, crackling loudly.

But after a moment, the fist could only relax.

He had no choice.

Whoosh...Xiao Yi’s figure soared into the air.

A pellet of Evil Breath Pill dropping from the high sky was instantly grasped in his hand.

At this moment, Xiao Yi no longer concealed himself, directly burst out at extreme speed, turning into a streak of black light, flying into the distance.

The Evil Breath Pill was swallowed by him.

Boom...

A burst of evil aura erupted from Xiao Yi’s body.

In fact, Xiao Yi could also use the Ghost Mask to cover this aura, even after taking the Evil Breath Pill.

However, what Xie Ruhai wanted was not just for him to take the Evil Breath Pill, but to reveal the evil aura.

Sure enough.

The moment the evil aura spread, from afar, streaks of black light raced towards him.

Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi, who was flying rapidly in the high sky, was intercepted.

One by one, evil cultivator protectors and elders appeared.

It was indeed the Third Guardian, the Fourth Guardian, and others.

They were originally within the Fire Whale Territory, arriving the fastest.

”Black Robe Xiao Xun, finally showing up?” The Third Guardian sneered.

”Monster, let’s see how you’ll escape from under our eyes today.” The Fourth Guardian laughed grimly.

Xiao Yi’s eyes were indifferent, he didn’t speak.

After dozens of breaths.

In the distance, a black streak of light came rushing.

In just a few seconds, the black light fell in front of Xiao Yi.

The light dispersed, revealing an old man, none other than the Great Elder of the Evil Lord Mansion, Xie Ruhai.

Behind Xie Ruhai, were a group of young Heavenly Talents being bound.

At this moment, everyone was confined in mid-air.

”Black Robe, Xiao Xun.” Xie Ruhai’s eyes were icy, but more playful and mocking showed on his face.

Nearby, there was also a black-robed figure, Poison Robe.

”Black Robe, long time no see.” Poison Robe glanced at Xiao Yi, sneering.

”Miss Shui was indeed not mistaken, though you Black Robe Xiao Xun look like a monster, seemingly indifferent to everything.”

”But last time you acted in fury in the Eighteen Mansions Territory, even going through various mansions just to follow clues and investigate, it shows that among those captured Heavenly Talents and monsters, there must be someone you care about.”

”Someone you care about?” Xie Ruhai smiled playfully, glancing at Poison Robe, and said, ”The list you gave me, I haven’t captured them all.”

”The chief of Heavenly Hidden Academy, Guu Feifan, along with people from the Hidden Family, has vanished without a trace.”

”Seven Killings Lingyun, also couldn’t be found.”

”Aside from these two, the traces of the others are quite clear and easy to capture.”

”When capturing the Heavenly Talents of the Black Cloud Academy, I happened to catch an extra boy.”

”Now it seems, although not capturing them all, it doesn’t matter.”

Among the batch of Heavenly Talents captured last time in the Eighteen Mansions Territory, there was no Qing Lin, only Tong Ye, Qin Yu, and others.

This time, they were captured altogether by Xie Ruhai.

”Someone you care about?” Xie Ruhai said again, turning around to look at the Heavenly Talents bound behind him.

”Is it this Tianyin Chu Rou? Or this Tianqing Muu Ning?”

Xie Ruhai pinched the cheeks of the two, a sneer in his eyes as if he were viewing dead people.

”Two beauties indeed.”

”Are these two your lovers, you monster Xiao Xun? Or just someone you admire?”

”Tsk tsk, indeed, someone like you, a monster, so ugly, how could any woman fancy you?”

”A monster as self-deprecating as you probably doesn’t even dare to express your feelings, seeing your beloved in danger, and without hesitation, abandoning all efforts of remaining hidden these days, coming out to play the hero.”

Chu Rou and Muu Ning looked coldly at Xie Ruhai, then glanced intriguingly at Xiao Yi not far away.

In their memory, they had very little connection with Black Robe Xiao Xun, at most just a few meetings.

”Or is it these boys? Bonds of life and death with you?” The Great Elder walked to Lih Fengxing, Fang Shushu, and others, clutching their throats.

Fang Shushu, Lih Fengxing, and others gritted their teeth, their faces extremely unsightly.

As for Qing Lin, he ignored Xie Ruhai, his arrogant gaze constantly fixed on Xiao Yi since the beginning.

For some reason, he always felt this black-robed Martial Artist looked very familiar.

Especially those eyes.

Those eyes seemed to make his heart tremble deep inside.

But, currently, around these eyes, the corners slightly exposed below the mask, the terrible state filled with dangerous scars and festering rot.

Were completely different from the clear and bright eyes and the handsome face like a jade-like gentleman in his memory.

”Heh.” At this moment, Xie Ruhai withdrew his hand, turning once again.

”Black Robe, last time you escaped from my hands, this time, you have no chance.”

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, his heart icy, ”Shui Ninghan.”

He never expected that this time, he was actually schemed against by Shui Ninghan.

He always knew Shui Ninghan was no ordinary character, this woman, was not simple.

This time, it really cost him dearly.

Right now, evil cultivators were gathering densely from all directions, overwhelming and densely packed.

The Great Elder Xie Ruhai had already acted instantly, ”First capture this monster before saying anything else.”

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, waiting.

”Now’s the time.” Xiao Yi roared inwardly.

Boom...

Across heaven and earth, a surging power of formation descended suddenly.

In Xiao Yi’s palm, a massive formation was unleashed directly.

”Palm World?” Xie Ruhai’s pupils suddenly shrank.

”Not good.”

Crack, crack, crack...

The space of the world shattered abruptly.

A huge formation barrier instantly enveloped Xiao Yi.

”Absorb.” Both of Xiao Yi’s hands extended, forcibly drawing everyone into the great formation.

”Break.” At that moment, a majestic voice descended from afar.

A black-clad figure walked out majestically from the space.

Upon closer inspection, the face of that figure bore a seven or eight part resemblance to the Little Evil Lord.

Second update.
