Chapter 1843: Chapter 1843: The Masterless Sword

Asura Hall Master, whose face always remained steady and resolute, suddenly collapsed in this instant.

"Gone? The person is gone?"

Asura Hall Master staggered, taking two steps back.

"I do not believe it."

The next second, Asura Hall Master’s aura exploded, his silhouette flashed, and he actually leapt without hesitation into the boundless Poisonous Land.

"Hall Master." Hengtian Palace Master was startled, his face changing dramatically.

This Poisonous Land is unfathomably deep, extremely dangerous.

The corrosive poison liquids, even a strong body like his would instantaneously incur damage.

And that was just from slight contact.

Asura Hall Master directly jumping in now, isn’t that...

"Let him go." Wind Shattering Palace Master slowly uttered four words.

"To him, it’s no different from taking a hot bath."

Hengtian Palace Master hesitated upon hearing this, then relaxed.

Time gradually passed.

A majority of an hour later.

Still no sight of Asura Hall Master’s figure emerging from the Poisonous Land.

Yet, clearly, the entire Poisonous Land constantly churned under Asura Hall Master’s rapid movement.

Beside him, Chengfeng Hall Master furrowed his brows, "Hall Master, Senior Asura he..."

In Chengfeng Hall Master’s eyes, the usually wise Asura Hall Master, at all times imitating a sage who perceives all.

In contrast, Chengfeng Hall Master admired Asura Hall Master more than Wind Shattering Palace Master.

Because, Asura Hall Master is always so calm, so composed, so omniscient in his insights. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But now, Asura Hall Master is wandering through the Poisonous Land like he’s lost his mind, leaving him at a loss.

Wind Shattering Palace Master shook his head, "You are still young, unaware of how many years Old Asura has been searching for a successor."

"As you see, Old Asura, always calm, as though a majestic earth, unbreakable and eternal."

"Which is why he’s extremely strict in selecting a successor."

"He’s searched for most of his life but never found anyone fulfilling."

"You don’t know, over a year ago, when he quickly approved of young Xiao Yi, even offering the Asura Token, I was so surprised."

"In tens of thousands of years, it’s the first time I’ve seen him investing so much care in a young person."

"Also for the first time, his eternally unchanged gaze, willing to linger long upon one person."

Hengtian Palace Master and Chengfeng Hall Master listened, their expressions changed.

Though not young, even in the common eye, they are Old Monster.

Still, before the two Hall Masters, they’re afraid they haven’t lived much longer than a child.

So there are many things they don’t know.

This is the first time they are learning about these matters concerning Asura Hall Master.

Wind Shattering Palace Master spoke again, a complex smile, "Therefore, when Old Asura first appointed this lad as successor, I didn’t hesitate to acknowledge the lad."

"At that time, I firmly believed, young Xiao Yi is exceptional, more remarkable than any young Monster."

"Do you know, for this lad, Old Asura didn’t hesitate to lower himself, spending an entire month at Black Cloud Academy watching the one named Luo."

Hengtian Palace Master and Chengfeng Hall Master listened, also silent.

They could clearly tell, while Wind Shattering Palace Master spoke, his tone was exceedingly complex.

In that tone, they sensed certain suppression, and a trace of Xiao Se.

Hengtian Palace Master couldn’t comprehend.

But Chengfeng Hall Master understood.

Wind Shattering Palace Master only talked about Asura Hall Master, didn’t say a word about himself.

In fact, Wind Shattering Palace Master’s regard for Xiao Yi was nearly as strong as Asura Hall Master’s.

It’s just that Wind Shattering Palace Master seemed more calm, better at suppressing himself.

But how long can such suppression last?

Time passed again.

A full day and night.

Boom...

Above the Poisonous Land, Asura Hall Master’s figure broke through the sky, raising a great cascade of poisonous liquid.

In mid-air, Asura Hall Master elegantly and swiftly wielding the Purple Lightning Divine Sword, his silhouette flashed back to the original place.

Beside him, Wind Shattering Palace Master did not glance at Asura Hall Master, only spoke indifferently, "Are you willing to believe now?"

No one noticed that Wind Shattering Palace Master’s gaze remained fixed on the Poisonous Land before him, not shifting even while speaking.

Asura Hall Master grasped the sword, his expression varied, ultimately settled into silence.

After a moment, Asura Hall Master broke the silence, shook his head, his face was icy, "I still do not believe it."

"Are you still planning to search?" Wind Shattering Palace Master’s tone was very light, so light it left no trace.

"This Poisonous Land spans ten thousand miles, depths over a thousand meters."

"If you search inch by inch, when will you finish?"

For the two Hall Masters, ten thousand miles is but a moment’s blink.

But, crossing ten thousand miles, and continually searching within a ten thousand mile range, along with this astonishing depth, are two different things.

"Then continue sensing, continue searching." Asura Hall Master unexpectedly yelled in anger.

"You’re skilled in Wind Dao, the best in perception, what are you dazing for? Can’t even find your own successor? Is that all you’re capable of?"

Asura Hall Master unexpectedly reprimanded several times.

Wind Shattering Palace Master’s face remained cold, yet his tone was still light, "Your perception has already encompassed the whole Poisonous Land, why needlessly ask me."

"In this Poisonous Land, no trace of the lad’s aura, not even a body left behind."

"You know well, under my perception, I know every detail of this Poisonous Land, why even ask."

"Yet if you ask, I’ll give the same response."

"This Poisonous Land, within the ten thousand mile range, a thousand meter depth, every inch, every corner, lacks the aura of young Xiao Yi, lacks any sign of life."

"He already has no remains."

Indeed, for the two Hall Masters, despite the vastness of the Poisonous Land, it cannot conceal itself from their senses.

The entire Poisonous Land, every inch, every corner, they can perceive with clarity.

No sign of Xiao Yi here, no trace of his presence.

Asura Hall Master, even if he leaps back into the Poisonous Land, continuing to search, would find nothing.

Beside him, Chengfeng Hall Master frowned, "Both Hall Masters, perhaps the situation might change unexpectedly."

"We all know, young Xiao Yi is quite strange, uses many methods, leaving one without clear understanding."

"Perhaps he might turn danger to safety this time, or might have already left here."

This time, Wind Shattering Palace Master remained silent, didn’t speak again.

Instead, Asura Hall Master looked at the sky, sighed.

"This entire Poisonous Land, made of Poison Evil."

"Such precious Poison Evil, creating a ten thousand mile encompassing Poisonous Land, one can imagine the strength of the toxin."

"Even a power like Jingz Yue can’t last more than a breath within this Poisonous Land."

"How could the lad escape?"

Asura Hall Master glanced at the Purple Lightning in his hand, "If he could leave, why would he leave his sword behind."

"If he were alive, how could this sword lack any Martial Artist aura, directly becoming ownerless?"

"Ownerless?" Hengtian Palace Master and Chengfeng Hall Master instantly understood Asura Hall Master’s implication, but their faces turned ashen white.

First update.
