Leaving the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall, Xiao Yi flew rapidly all the way.

His journey of training could not be delayed any longer.

Both training and seclusion were indispensable experiences on a martial artist’s path.

But seclusion was meaningless to him now.

Only training was his current method to quickly enhance his strength.

Moreover, he urgently needed a large amount of demon beast essence blood for the remaining five layers of the Asura Battle Body.

...

A day later, Xiao Yi flew at full speed away from the Wind Shattering Territory.

A few days later, he had crossed several territories.

His first choice for training was, naturally, some dangerous terrain or demon beast forests.

But the surrounding area was near the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall, how could there be any perilous places?

Unexpectedly, it would take at least a few more days of flying away from the main hall’s surrounding area before he could find some decent dangerous terrain.

Yet just at this moment, from afar, a figure approached swiftly.

However, this flying figure seemed somewhat unsteady and stumbling.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

He was just about to ignore it and fly away.

Suddenly, the figure’s aura weakened continuously, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

The powerless figure, carried by inertia, rushed straight forward.

Xiao Yi shot out a strand of sword qi from his fingertips.

The sword qi did not harm the figure but rather steadied it, allowing it to float gently to the ground.

Xiao Yi flickered away.

Within the Central Region, slaughter and conflicts were nothing out of the ordinary.

Xiao Yi couldn’t care less about them and had no interest in getting involved.

However, the figure that had fallen onto the ground suddenly shouted with all its might, "Dare I ask if you are from the Wind Shattering Hall or the Asura Hall?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi slightly frowned.

This person wanted to find the Wind Shattering Hall or the Main Hall?

Furthermore, why did this voice sound somewhat familiar?

No, it couldn’t be said to be familiar; it seemed that he had heard it somewhere before, but it was clearly a long time ago.

Swoosh...

Xiao Yi flickered down from high above, arriving beside the figure.

The figure was a middle-aged man, dressed in golden robes.

"Golden Robed Guard?" Xiao Yi, taking a closer look at the person, slightly frowned.

This person was evidently a Golden Robed Guard from the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion.

"It’s you?" Xiao Yi suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t this the captain of the Golden Robed Guards he encountered in Star Swapping City back then?

However, at that time, this person was only at the Saint Realm and even protected him against the elder of the Wang Family for a while.

Now, he had the cultivation of the Saint King Realm First Layer.

With a flash of light in his hand, Xiao Yi took out an elixir and fed it to him.

"Such severe injuries, what’s the matter?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

The man’s clothes were more than half torn, and his entire body was soaked in blood.

Thus, Xiao Yi had not recognized at a glance from afar that he was a Golden Robed Guard.

Only now, getting closer, had he seen the half-torn insignia of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion on the man’s chest.

"Who are you?" The man frowned, looking at Xiao Yi, not recognizing him.

However, the man clearly had an urgent matter and asked eagerly, "Dare I ask young friend, how long is it from here to the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall or the Asura Hall Main Hall?"

"About 7 or 8 territories," Xiao Yi replied.

"Is it still that far? Damn." The man’s face changed, and regardless of his severe injuries, he attempted to stand up forcefully.

"Don’t worry." Xiao Yi steadied him, "My elixir has stabilized your injuries, but that doesn’t mean they are healed."

"If you forcefully control the air or run at full speed, I can’t guarantee your injuries will remain suppressed."

"Thank you for your assistance, young friend." The man hurriedly thanked him.

"But I must head to either palace immediately."

"Otherwise, not only I, but my companions will surely die."

"Who is pursuing you?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow and asked.

Judging by the man’s current state, he was clearly being pursued.

However, Golden Robed Guards were the elite guards of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion.

And the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion was the foremost trading family in the Central Region.

Thus, the mission of the Golden Robed Guards was just to escort goods and ensure the safety of each trading company’s merchandise.

Both the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion and the Golden Robed Guards had almost no enemies, let alone actively provoke foes.

"It’s..." The man was just about to answer when suddenly a mouthful of blood was spat out.

Behind him, an inexplicable black palm print appeared, exuding ominous black energy.

Whiz... Whiz... Whiz...

Just at this moment, figures quickly approached from a distance.

Almost the instant these figures appeared, they surrounded the area.

"Haha, you got hit by my Black Saint Palm and still want to escape? What a joke."

Leading this group was a martial artist who looked coldly at the Golden Robed Guard and sneered.

Xiao Yi took a glance, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

In this group, the leader had black objects tied around his waist.

The black objects were smeared with blood.

They were heads, individual heads.

"Evil Cultivators?" Xiao Yi’s gaze turned cold.

"Exactly." The Golden Robed Guard replied, "My escort team from the Golden Robed Guards was suddenly attacked by this group of evil cultivators, and only I escaped."

By the last sentence, the man’s face had become incredibly angry.

The heads tied around the waist of that evil cultivator leader were precisely his fellow Golden Robed Guards.

"Oh? There’s actually a kid here too?" One of the evil cultivators, leading the group, sneered coldly.

The leading martial artist merely glanced at Xiao Yi once and then ignored him.

Such a young kid had already been dismissed by him.

His gaze focused on the Golden Robed Guard.

"The Universe Ring containing this shipment of goods is in your hands, right?"

"I thoroughly checked all the other Golden Robed Guards’ bodies, and it wasn’t there. It can only be with you, the only mouse that got away."

Thoroughly checking, meaning they dismembered the Golden Robed Guards’ bodies, checking all over.

"Young friend, you go quickly." The Golden Robed Guard’s face changed, "I can only hold them off for a while."

"Hold off?" Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Do all you Golden Robed Guards enjoy holding off enemies for others?"

"Of course." The Golden Robed Guard’s face became serious, "We are guards, protecting against enemies and guarding items is our duty."

"Young friend, stop wasting time. These evil cultivators are vicious and cruel. If caught, you’d surely die."

As soon as he finished speaking, this person made a hand seal, causing his aura to burst forth.

However, the bursting aura suddenly dissipated.

He clearly felt that in the air, a mysterious pressure suppressed his aura.

"Hmm? Young friend, you?" The man looked at Xiao Yi with confusion.

Because he could distinctly feel that the mysterious pressure emanated from this young man beside him.

Xiao Yi lightly smiled, "I told you, your injuries are merely suppressed, not healed, you cannot fight."

"More than two years ago, you blocked for me once; this time, I’ll block for you."

As the words fell, Xiao Yi made no moves.

"Brat." The leading evil cultivator’s face turned cold, "I couldn’t be bothered with you, but you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you?"

"Then I’ll kill you first."

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "A group of Saint King Realm cultivators, with the strongest merely at the Seventh Layer of the Saint King Realm, and you think you can kill me?"

"Go." The leading evil cultivator ordered coldly.

Xiao Yi made no move.

But just at this moment, a potent sword intent appeared from nowhere.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

In the air, only the piercing sound of sharp energy was heard.

The Golden Robed Guard beside him listened in confusion, but in the next moment, his face turned horrified.

All around, each evil cultivator suddenly fell, with a blood mark suddenly appearing on the neck, chilling to behold.

The originally surrounding evil cultivators, had now completely lost any signs of life.

"This... this..." The Golden Robed Guard, looked at Xiao Yi with astonishment on his face.

...
