"So strong."

The leading evil cultivator’s body trembled as he looked at Xiao Yi with shock.

"A sword cultivator? Boy, who are you?"

The evil cultivator’s icy gaze was fixed intently on Xiao Yi.

"I should be the one asking, who are you people?" Xiao Yi responded coldly.

Among all the evil cultivators, only the leader remained.

"This is the border area between the Wind Shattering Territory and the Asura Territory, and yet a group of evil cultivators dares to rampage here?"

It’s known that although the Ancient Eight Halls do not interfere with the disputes of various powerful factions,

they do not consider evil cultivators among them.

The halls have never shown mercy towards evil cultivators.

The fact that this group of evil cultivators appeared here and dared to continuously pursue and kill is exceedingly audacious.

"Us?" the leading evil cultivator suddenly spoke with confidence, "Kid, I’m afraid if I tell you, you’ll be scared to death, haha."

"If you won’t speak, then die." Xiao Yi’s tone was indifferent.

He wasn’t truly interested in knowing the identity of these evil cultivators, merely curious to ask.

If they wouldn’t talk, then he would simply kill them.

Swish... A strand of Sword Qi pierced through the sky, aiming straight for the evil cultivator’s throat.

"So fast." The evil cultivator’s pupils contracted.

His instincts told him that this casually unleashed Sword Qi was enough to instantly take his life.

"Elder, save me."

The evil cultivator managed only to send out one palm to block before he cried out in shock.

Swoosh...

The Sword Qi instantly penetrated the evil cultivator’s palm.

The full power of his palm strike could only delay the Sword Qi by half a second.

It was precisely in that half-second that a powerful aura streaked through the air from a distance.

Beneath that aura was an inexplicable black aura.

The moment the black aura collided with the Sword Qi, both dissipated simultaneously.

Whoosh... A figure suddenly appeared next to the evil cultivator.

The newcomer was an elder, as thin as a skeleton.

"Martial Arts Emperor?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow as he looked at the elder who suddenly appeared.

"Sixth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm."

Xiao Yi could immediately see through the elder’s cultivation.

"Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm?" The elder also instantly saw through Xiao Yi’s cultivation.

"Though your cultivation is low, your strength surpasses the Saint Emperor Realm."

"So young and possessing such strength, you must be one of the renowned Heavenly Talents of the Central Region."

As the elder spoke, he casually pulled out a stack of files from his chest.

The elder flipped through the files on his own, suddenly stopping after a while, his eyes narrowing sharply.

"So it’s you, the City Lord of Four-direction City, former disciple of the Heavenly Hidden Academy and Black Cloud Academy, Deputy Master of both Asura Hall and Wind Shattering Hall, Xiao Yi."

"No wonder you seemed so familiar to me."

"Familiar?" Xiao Yi lightly furrowed his brows.

"Elder, isn’t this..." The evil cultivator who spoke earlier looked at the elder’s file with astonishment.

The elder nodded, "Indeed, this is the wanted list of the Evil Lord Mansion."

"Which means, this kid, Xiao Yi, is also one of the targets."

As the elder spoke, his sharp eyes, beneath his emaciated frame, stared directly at Xiao Yi.

However, Xiao Yi did not pay attention to the elder’s other words. Instead, it was one of the elder’s sentences that caused his expression to change slightly.

"Evil Lord Mansion?" Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, "You’re people from the Evil Lord Mansion? No wonder you’re so brazen."

As soon as the words fell.

Boom...

The elder suddenly unleashed a palm strike.

The fierce Palm Wind wasn’t aimed at Xiao Yi but was shot into the sky.

This meant that this attack was a signal.

If Xiao Yi guessed correctly, there must be other evil cultivators nearby.

However, Xiao Yi remained unafraid, instead letting out a cold laugh.

"Kid, you’re quite calm." The elder smirked mockingly.

"What else should I be?" Xiao Yi retorted.

"Kid, you’ll regret it later." The evil cultivator next to the elder spoke with a ferocious expression.

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled, saying nothing.

He was just in need of a large number of Cultivation Items, and now, people were delivering them right to his doorstep.

These evil cultivators had all sorts of strange and bloody methods.

And they especially loved using techniques that drove demon beasts.

This meant that these guys possessed a lot of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

In just a moment.

From afar, figures rapidly approached.

When the figures all landed, dozens of evil cultivators had surrounded Xiao Yi and the elder.

All of the evil cultivators had cultivation levels above the late stage of the Saint King Realm.

Among them, one was the leader, reaching the Sixth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm, comparable in strength to the elder, and was a middle-aged man.

As soon as the middle-aged man arrived, he immediately looked at the elder, "Hei Han, why did you send the signal?"

The elder smiled proudly, "We’ve found the target."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man followed the elder’s gaze, looking towards Xiao Yi.

"This lad?"

The middle-aged man suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, "Why does he seem somewhat familiar to me?"

The next second, the middle-aged man suddenly realized, "It’s him? Xiao Yi?"

"Not good."

The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically, "Run quickly."

"Trying to run? Too late." Xiao Yi coldly smiled.

The Cold Flame Sword was already in his hand, though no one knew when it appeared.

All around, strands of Starlight Power had already been laid out.

A powerful Starlight Sword Formation suddenly locked the area.

Within the Starlight Sword Formation, all the evil cultivators were suppressed and unable to move.

Including the elder and the middle-aged man.

"So strong, how is it possible?" The elder’s face changed dramatically, "This is at least the power of the Eighth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm or above."

"Fool." The middle-aged man was furious, "This kid has a record of defeating a Saint Emperor peak with one sword, and you dare have thoughts against him?"

"Damn it, I was killed because of you."

That was the middle-aged man’s last sentence.

Because the Starlight Sword Formation had already gone berserk. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Strands of Starlight Sword Qi crushed the entire scene.

When the rampage ended, the Starlight Sword Formation turned into a cloud of ethereal starlight and dissipated.

There wasn’t a single evil cultivator left alive on the field.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, and all the Universe Rings were drawn to his palm.

After sensing them for a moment, his face instantly turned joyful.

"Not bad, just as I expected." Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction.

These evil cultivators had large amounts of demon beast essence blood, inner cores, and some evil cultivator items, poisons, and so on in their Universe Rings.

"Xiao... Xiao Yi, you..." At this time, the Golden Robed Guard beside him looked shocked.

He had already remembered Xiao Yi when he heard the name.

However, he hadn’t expected that the kid from just over two years ago, merely at the Earth Extreme Realm, could now instantly kill powerful figures in the Saint Emperor Realm.

"Heh." Xiao Yi let out a faint smile.

The Golden Robed Guard hurriedly clasped his hands together in respect, "I am Jin Zhuo, thank you for saving my life."

On the Flame Dragon Continent, strength is revered.

Even though Xiao Yi was much younger than him, he still had to address him respectfully.

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yi shook his head.

"You have the goods of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion with you, right?"

"Do you have any other matters to attend to?"

"Yes." Jin Zhuo nodded, "As for other matters..."

Jin Zhuo’s face darkened, "I still need to properly bury the bodies of my comrades."

Although the death of martial artists in the vast Central Region is quite common,

the mangled corpses left outside, if left unattended, are still not possible.

Xiao Yi nodded, "Finish dealing with it as soon as possible, and I’ll take you away from here."

"The people from Evil Lord Mansion are no simple matter."

Xiao Yi’s expression gradually grew serious.

Second update.
