Chapter 1845: Chapter 1845: Eight Halls Deliberation

The figure that broke in came too suddenly.

It caught the figure hidden in the darkness beside Senior Luoo by surprise.

Senior Luoo squinted his eyes.

There was only one person bold enough to break in like this without his permission.

It was none other than Mo Youu.

"Master." As soon as Mo Youu entered, he wanted to say something, but when he saw that shadow, his expression instantly changed.

The aura of the shadow made him tremble all over in just a moment.

"What a cold aura." Mo Youu frowned.

"You may leave now." Senior Luoo instructed.

"Yes." The figure responded, bowed, and slowly retreated.

As the shadow passed by Mo Youu, it glanced at him.

Mo Youu also looked at the shadow.

With just one glance, Mo Youu’s expression changed drastically.

The appearance of the shadow was reflected in Mo Youu’s eyes.

But this appearance...

A shriveled face, a body as thin as a stick, sunken eyes carrying a chilling aura.

If this body wasn’t moving, it seemed no different from a corpse.

Mo Youu didn’t know how to describe it more specifically.

But this shadow, rather than being human, seemed more like a monster.

Yet, the simple glance from the shadow made a chill surge in Mo Youu’s heart, spreading through his entire body in an instant.

It was the sense of death.

In just a moment, Mo Youu was certain that if the figure before him wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t take more than a breath’s time.

Just as Mo Youu was in disbelief, the shadow had already retreated.

Mo Youu couldn’t even notice how the shadow retreated and left the hall without a sound.

"Master, this..." Mo Youu was about to ask something, but when he saw the scene of the broken table in front of him, he was startled.

Senior Luoo waved his hand and said, "You have always been calm and collected. How come today you’re so reckless, barging in like this?"

"Is it about your sister?"

"I have been treating her for more than a month, and the flame restriction on her body has been removed."

"After a few more days of recovery, she should be fine."

Mo Youu was overjoyed to hear this, "Thank you, Master."

But the next second, Mo Youu’s face turned anxious, "Master, I am here for another matter."

"During the expedition to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, I gained nothing."

"But Junior Brother Xiao Yi, he broke through the Ancient Emperor’s prohibition, and even single-handedly broke the main formation that no one had broken for thousands of years."

"Junior Brother Xiao Yi has acquired the Ancient Emperor’s fortune."

"Yet, unexpectedly, a group of elders from the Holy Moon Sect appeared out of nowhere and want to kill us."

"Junior Brother Xiao Yi is still trapped in the Blood Moon Formation. Please, Master, help save Junior Brother Xiao Yi."

Mo Youu finished quickly and bowed.

Senior Luoo, however, sneered, "Don’t you think it’s too late to ask me now?"

"You returned from the Extreme East after five full days. Do you think that kid can still hold on until now?"

Mo Youu’s heart skipped a beat. He had thought about this question, but there are always unexpected events.

"With Junior Brother Xiao Yi’s skills, he can surely hold on for a while, seeking a chance to survive."

"Perhaps Junior Brother Xiao Yi is not dead yet and is still waiting for rescue."

"If Master goes now, it might be in time."

Senior Luoo shook his head.

Mo Youu’s face turned anxious, and he knelt down, "I beg Master to grant my request."

Senior Luoo spoke lightly, "Since I took you under my wing, you have only knelt to me three times like this."

"Once, when you apprenticed under me."

"Once, when your sister was seriously injured, and you asked for my help."

"This time, is now."

"But, it’s useless." Senior Luoo’s tone turned cold, "That boy is already dead."

"Dead?" Mo Youu’s body trembled.

Senior Luoo lightly pointed, and a stream of light drifted in front of Mo Youu.

It was a piece of intelligence.

Mo Youu took a few glances, his pupils constricted, and then his body shook, "Poisonous for ten thousand miles, Junior Brother Xiao Yi’s bones are nowhere to be found?"

"You were late, so asking me is of no use." Senior Luoo said coldly.

"Besides, let me correct you on a few points."

"Xiao Yi, he has long been expelled from the Black Cloud Academy. He is not your Junior Brother."

"If there’s nothing else, leave."

With that, Senior Luoo lightly flicked his finger, and an elixir flew into Mo Youu’s arms.

With Senior Luoo’s ability, he could immediately see that Mo Youu was injured.

"Thank you, Master." Mo Youu instinctively responded and turned away, slowly leaving.

Rumble...

Outside the hall, thunder roared.

Outside, it was pouring rain.

Lightning etched a long scar across the sky.

The light flashed incessantly.

Mo Youu’s figure, somewhat desolate, gradually disappeared into the flashing light.

...

Another day later.

In the Asura Territory, within the Asura Main Hall.

In the grand hall.

The Asura Hall Master and Wind Shattering Palace Master sat at the main seat.

On either side were a line of elders.

Looking closely, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, Flame Hall Master, and Medicine Venerate Hall Master were clearly among them.

Their presence with the several Main Hall Masters made the identities of the other elders obvious.

They could only be the other Eight Palace Masters.

"The Eight Palaces meeting hasn’t appeared for countless millennia." The Flame Hall Master was the first to sneer.

The Medicine Venerate Hall Master remained silent but sneered as well.

The others also sneered.

Only the Wind Shattering and Asura Hall Masters had cold expressions.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master looked at the two, "Your reason for calling the Main Hall Masters of the various halls together for this Eight Palaces meeting, we all understand."

"What is your response?" The Wind Shattering Palace Master asked directly.

All the Main Hall Masters shook their heads simultaneously.

"Outrageous." The Wind Shattering Palace Master slammed the table and stood up.

The Asura Hall Master’s face turned even colder.

Though they anticipated such a result, witnessing the shake of heads from the Main Hall Masters still filled them with rage.

"Xiao Yi, aside from being the successor of our two halls, he’s an accomplished Eight Palaces Martial Artist."

"Now he has fallen at the hands of the Holy Moon Sect, and this is your attitude?"

"Perhaps you might consider this a personal vendetta." The voice was from the Heavenly Mechanism Hall Master.

The Heavenly Mechanism Hall Master was a short elder with eyes exuding a keen light.

"Personal vendetta?" The Wind Shattering Palace Master said coldly, "Although our two halls have not announced to the Central Region, everyone knows that Xiao Yi was the next Main Hall Master."

"Killing the next Main Hall Master of one of the Eight Palaces, you consider this a private matter?"

"Old Man Tianji, I find it hard to believe such words could come from your mouth."

The Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall Master sneered, "Your Vice Master Xiao Yi was quite powerful back in the day."

"Even with Yi Xiao, they were very capable when threatening my Heavenly Mechanism Hall’s Miaoo Shenghua Palace Master."

"Such a powerful person would be killed? Ha ha." The Heavenly Mechanism Main Hall Master chuckled, "Since he was so arrogant, making enemies, now being killed, why should the rest of us seek revenge for him?"
