Chapter 1842: Chapter 1842: Gone Just Like That?

Black Cloud Academy, deep within the academy.

Occasionally, academic disciples pass by, glancing from afar without approaching, merely showing confusion on their faces.

For an entire month now, they have been unable to get even slightly closer to the depths of the academy.

At the same time, for a whole month, they have been unable to find academic seniors to seek martial arts advice.

Because at this moment, all academic seniors, elder deacons, are gathered in the depths of the academy.

Just then, the Vice Dean walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

The Vice Dean paid no attention to the distant onlookers, only giving a sly smile, "When I calculate the time, those young ones should be back soon."

"I wonder what treasures they’ve acquired this time."

A disciple approached, catching sight of the Vice Dean’s sly smile, his heart chilled, yet he still bowed respectfully and asked softly, "Vice Dean, why do I feel the atmosphere in our academy has been somewhat off this month?"

"Off?" The Vice Dean heard this and smirked, glancing toward the depths of the academy.

"With such a prominent figure here, it’s no wonder the academy’s atmosphere is tense."

"But it doesn’t matter, let him stay a bit longer, he’ll leave eventually."

After saying this, the Vice Dean turned and left, his smile still sly.

At this time, deep in the academy.

An elder stood discreetly, silent, without speaking.

Soon, the elder’s body moved slightly, "Given the time, that young man should be returning soon."

The elder is none other than the Asura Hall Master.

After speaking, the Asura Hall Master glanced around at the gathered academic elders and smiled faintly.

"This past month, I appreciate all the academic elders for keeping me company."

Keeping company? The faces of the Black Cloud Academy elders turned dark.

Such a prominent figure visiting their Black Cloud Academy, how could they not be nervous?

This month, not only were they unable to retreat for secluded cultivation, but they also had no mind to guide the academic disciples, fearing that this prominent figure might make drastic moves.

At this time, the Asura Hall Master smiled without paying mind to everyone’s expressions and looked toward a distant hall, "Old Luoo, it’s time for me to say goodbye."

"Someday when I have leisure, I’ll visit again."

Once the words were spoken, the Asura Hall Master prepared to leave in a flash.

Just as he was about to depart, from afar, a figure resembling a meteor sped toward him.

"Hmm?" The Asura Hall Master glanced at it, furrowing his brows.

He could recognize in an instant that it was one of the Hall Masters from the Asura Main Hall.

"Master, something’s wrong." The Hall Master landed, showing urgency as he reported swiftly.

"What’s the matter?" The Asura Hall Master frowned.

"Vice Master Xiao Yi is in trouble." The Hall Master gritted his teeth.

"What?" The Asura Hall Master’s expression changed drastically.

At that moment, from the distant hall, Senior Luoo’s mocking voice slowly echoed.

"After watching for a month here at Black Cloud Academy."

"In the end, all efforts were in vain."

"That young man still ran into trouble."

The Asura Hall Master’s face turned cold upon hearing, he said nothing more, grabbing the Hall Master and controlling the air as they left.

"Speak while walking."

Inside the hall.

Senior Luoo’s mockery abruptly turned sombre.

"That young man encountered trouble?" Senior Luoo squinted his eyes.

"Could it be that I overestimated him?"

"Didn’t that young man obtain opportunities at the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb but instead faced unexpected incidents?"

Senior Luoo frowned, contemplating.

...

Several hours later.

Deep in the Extreme East.

At this moment, the Blood Moon Formation that once enveloped hundreds of thousands of miles has vanished.

Yet, within the original ten thousand mile area, the scene has drastically changed.

No mountains, no sandstones, no yellow wind sweeping.

All that’s left is before us, a terrifying ten thousand miles of poisonous landscape.

A dense and eerie toxic atmosphere floats upwards.

The poisonous aura in the air has even instantaneously corroded the sweeping yellow wind into nothing, naturally, there’s no more yellow wind here.

Within the ten thousand miles, everything is under the rampant poison.

Naturally, there are no mountains here, nor any sandstones.

Only an endless view of a poisonous land.

And outside this poisonous land, a figure stands with hands behind his back, gazing at the scene with a complex expression.

In the complexities, there’s even a hint of daze.

One hour later.

Another figure swiftly breaks through the sky.

The figure lands instantly beside the previous one.

"Wind Shattering, what’s the situation?" The newcomer is none other than the swiftly arriving Asura Hall Master.

And the one standing here earlier is naturally the Wind Shattering Palace Master.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master quietly gazes at this poisonous land ahead.

In his eyes, beyond the poison, there’s nothing else.

No, at the very center of this poisonous land, there’s a sharp sword inserted into the ground.

This sword emanates a dazzling purple glow, crackling with lightning.

But the power of thunder and lightning is incredibly weak.

"That’s Vice Master Xiao Yi’s Purple Lightning Divine Sword." The Asura Hall Master frowned.

"Wind Shattering, what’s the situation?"

The Wind Shattering Palace Master, in a silent demeanor, finally opens his mouth slowly.

Yet, his tone is incredibly complex.

"The poisonous land encompasses a hundred thousand miles."

"The poisonous breath delves a thousand meters deep beneath the ground."

"Within this range, everything is under my perception, yet... there’s nothing. No trace of that young man’s aura, aside from his sword."

"No trace of that young man’s aura?" The Asura Hall Master was stunned.

"No trace of that young man’s aura?" Behind him, two figures shivered.

They were Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master.

After leaving Black Cloud Academy, the Asura Hall Master naturally sought these two, bringing them to the depths of the Extreme East, inquiring along the way.

After all, these two continued alongside Xiao Yi, knowing the events.

"Then... then what about the four old guys from the Holy Moon Sect?" Hengtian Palace Master asked carelessly.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master slowly extended his hand, taking out three tokens.

"Those are tokens of the Holy Moon Sect’s titled elders?" The Asura Hall Master recognized them instantly.

"Tokens of titled elders, incredibly durable, ordinary holy artifacts can’t compare."

"These serve as absolute identity proof for the Holy Moon Sect’s titled elders, must not be lost."

"If the tokens fell here, doesn’t that mean..."

"Right." The Wind Shattering Palace Master reluctantly nodded, "Those four scoundrels, inside this poison, not a bone remains."

"They were highly cultivated, upon death, remnants of their martial arts power lingered here."

Martial artists, only upon death, see their controlled martial arts power partly dissipate into the world.

"Hiss." At that moment, Hengtian Palace Master stepped forward, touched the poison ahead, and instantly cried out in pain.

"Such terrifying poison power, even my physical strength suffered instantly?"

It was evident, Hengtian Palace Master’s palm was somewhat corroded, just from touching a little.

"If even Mirror Flower Water Moon’s four scoundrels left no bones, then vice master Xiao Yi, hasn’t he vanished completely?" Hengtian Palace Master muttered subconsciously.

"Wind Shattering, do you mean..." The Asura Hall Master looked incredulously at the Wind Shattering Palace Master.

The Wind Shattering Palace Master nodded, "Inside the entire poisonous land, not a trace of Vice Master Xiao Yi’s aura, nor any sign of life."

"Are you saying our successor is gone just like that?" The Asura Hall Master’s body trembled violently.

...
