Chapter 1847: Chapter 1847: Xiao Yi Is Dead

"Slander?" The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master sneered.

"Then why is it that the successors of our Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, and Medicine Venerate Hall are not slandered?"

"Why is Yi Xiao decisive and always satisfactory, despite being a twin?"

"Why, although roaming the Central Region and venturing into dangerous places, has he never caused public outrage?"

"And why is he hailed as the Evil Cultivator Slayer, cleansing regions of evil cultivators with bloodshed, yet he does not disturb areas, instead wins everyone’s admiration?"

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master posed several questions in succession.

The Wind Shattering Main Hall Master fell silent.

The Asura Hall Master spoke again, "Demon Hunting Elder, you are truly formidable."

"Such words that attack one’s heart are spoken by you with such conviction and eloquence."

"But, I am not interested in arguing with you."

"Leave."

The single word ’leave,’ yet it made the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master sneer again.

"If your two halls insist on waging war against the Holy Moon Sect, you are starting a war without just cause."

"To make a big commotion over a little thief like Xiao Yi, who is bloodthirsty and condemned by all?"

The Asura Hall Master, his face icy to the extreme, "Demon Hunting Elder, do not test my patience anymore."

"You and I have known each other for countless years; you should know your sophistry cannot sway my resolve."

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master’s face darkened, "Since reasoning cannot persuade you."

"Then let me ask you again, what is the true purpose of the existence of our Eight Palaces?"

"For what do the Eight Palaces exist?"

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master emphasized his words.

"The Holy Moon Sect is a leading hidden power."

"If we go to war with them now, it is bound to create a massive uproar."

"It is said that the slightest touch can affect everything; once a great war starts, the entire continent will be involved, causing panic and suffering. Is this the outcome you desire?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"The Eight Palaces have the duty to protect the continent, yet now want to proactively start a war, causing turmoil across the continent?"

"Can you two bear such consequences?"

As the words fell.

The Asura Hall Master’s always composed face finally showed a hint of change.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master squinted his eyes, "Old Asura, listen carefully."

"Call me a sophisticator, selfish, or even accuse me of threatening you."

"If your two halls want to wage war against the Holy Moon Sect, the other six halls will not stand by idly."

"If you want to provoke an internal war within the Eight Palaces, go right ahead."

With that, the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master rose.

"Let us go."

The Flame Hall Master and the Medicine Venerate Hall Master rose one after another and turned to leave.

The other two Hall Masters also rose and left.

In the vast Asura Main Hall, only the Asura and Wind Shattering Hall Masters remained.

The faces of the two Hall Masters were extremely unpleasant, icy to the extreme, but also helpless to the extreme.

The Wind Shattering Main Hall Master sat down powerlessly.

The Asura Hall Master sighed, "Indeed, the Eight Palaces are no longer what they used to be."

"I’m afraid the words ’fragmented and disintegrated’ cannot even describe the current Eight Palaces."

The Wind Shattering Main Hall Master gave a bitter smile, "We called for an Eight Palaces meeting, and that guy didn’t come, you can imagine."

"I’m afraid in their minds, there is no longer an Eight Palaces, only their own alliance halls."

That guy didn’t come?

Indeed, if you look closely, there were only seven Hall Masters seated just now, not eight.

After the Demon Hunting, Flame, and Medicine Venerate Hall Masters left, only two Hall Masters departed, making a total of five.

Counting the Asura and Wind Shattering Hall Masters, only seven Hall Masters were present.

"I knew that guy wouldn’t come." The Asura Hall Master muttered to himself, his voice desolate and deeply disappointed.

Outside the hall, rain poured down, thunder rumbled, completely drowning out the silence inside the hall.

...

Outside the Asura Territory.

Three figures flew through the air.

It was none other than the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master and the other two.

"Demon Hunting Elder," the Flame Hall Master suddenly frowned, "Are we making the right decision by..."

The Flame Hall Master hesitated to speak.

"Xiao Yi, after all, has a great relationship with Yi Xiao."

"This time we are not helping, if in the future Yi Xiao makes trouble for us..."

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master shook his head, interrupting the Flame Hall Master.

"Everything is for the greater good; the world will change, and the Central Region must not fall into chaos."

"If that kid is dissatisfied in the future, he can hold us accountable."

"If he wants to change our decision today, he can return to the Main Hall and inherit the position of Main Hall Master."

"If he becomes Main Hall Master, how he decides is his business."

"But for now, we three are the Main Hall Masters, and this is our decision."

...

Far away, thousands of miles apart.

At Heavenly Hidden Academy.

Atop the Heavenly Hidden Mountain.

Elder Huoo stood with his hands behind his back, and in front of him, Guu Feifan bowed and waited.

"Xiao Yi is dead?"

Elder Huoo’s body trembled slightly, but his expression did not change much; he just shook his head.

"The world is unpredictable, and things change unexpectedly."

"Alas, in this world, there are always many unsatisfactory things, many moments that are fleeting."

"One misstep alters everything."

With that, Elder Huoo shook his head, sighed a few times, and turned to leave.

In place, Guu Feifan also sighed.

He returned to Heavenly Hidden Academy somewhat later than Mo Youu returned to Black Cloud Academy.

But when he got back to Heavenly Hidden Academy, wanting to report on the events in the Extreme East, he had already received the news of Xiao Yi’s death.

After all, the large-scale actions of the Wind Shattering and Asura Two Halls were something a great power like Heavenly Hidden Academy was bound to know.

Likewise, in the distant other Four Great Academies.

Linghu Wang stood with one sword, and an elderly man in meditation slowly opened his eyes, "That renowned Vice Master Xiao Yi has fallen?"

At Golden Dawn Academy.

Golden Dawn stood outside a great hall, and a golden robed elder slowly walked out from a golden illusionary light.

"Greetings, Master." Golden Dawn saluted.

"Hmm." The golden robed elder nodded, "That Xiao Yi, whom you’ve always hated, has died, so you can now dispel your Heart Demon."

Golden Dawn frowned, "However, in my heart, the hatred for the Holy Moon Sect is even stronger now."

"Master, what kind of power is the Holy Moon Sect?"

"Holy Moon Sect?" The golden robed elder frowned, "Forget it."

"If there is hatred, forget it in time."

"Otherwise, this hatred, this Heart Demon, will confine you for life; you will never be able to break free."

Hearing this, Golden Dawn’s expression changed, and he quickly nodded.

...

Similar events were unfolding in the Five Great Academies.

And the news of Xiao Yi’s death suddenly spread throughout the entire Central Region in a short time.

...

Second update.
