Chapter 1993: Chapter 1993: Great Elder’s Withdrawal

Bang...

Xiao Yi’s figure plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a massive pit.

Above the pit, a huge cloud of dust was stirred up.

As the dust settled, it revealed Xiao Yi within, looking disheveled and dirty-faced.

"Cough cough." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of dust, coughing a few times.

Looking up, he saw the elder’s figure frozen in the air.

It wasn’t that the elder was restrained, but rather that one foot was just about to step into the boundary of Leisure Village.

The elder frowned, pondered for a few seconds, then retracted his foot before stepping in.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was precisely within Leisure Village, only tens of meters away from the elder.

Of course, Xiao Yi was in the pit on the ground.

The elder was suspended in midair.

The elder glanced coldly at Xiao Yi below, his eyes chilling.

"This boy is not from your Leisure Village." The elder spoke aloofly to the air.

"My battle with him is merely a passing through your Leisure Village."

"Fighting is forbidden within Leisure Village." The voice from the air remained light.

Yet within the light tone, there was an undeniable and mysterious pressure.

The elder squinted slightly, "I can instantly enter and take this boy out of Leisure Village before killing him."

"I guarantee not to move a blade of grass or a single person within your Leisure Village."

The elder’s meaning was very clear.

He and Xiao Xun were only battling as they passed through this place.

He could enter and leave instantly, without disturbing Leisure Village at all.

The air remained silent.

But the elder could clearly feel that undeniable pressure surrounding Leisure Village was still present.

"That boy isn’t one of your villagers."

"Why protect him?"

The elder’s voice gradually turned cold.

The voice in the air sounded again, "While he is in Leisure Village, he is one of our villagers."

The elder squinted, "As I understand, entering your Leisure Village and receiving protection from Heartless Inn requires a decree from Guisha City Lord."

"This boy is far from qualified to enter Leisure Village and receive protection."

"He is not one of your protected villagers."

Protected in Leisure Village?

Xiao Yi had climbed out of the pit, enduring his injuries.

In his hand, he still clutched the Universe Ring, cautiously paying attention and listening.

The light voice in the air seemed to lose patience.

"I say he is, and thus he is."

The forceful tone made the elder’s face turn cold.

"Heartless Inn Master, do you truly wish for me to bring the forces of Evil Lord Mansion to your Leisure Village to seize the boy?"

The cold and threatening words fell.

In the air, disdainful laughter echoed.

"Even the Eight Palaces Law Enforcement Team doesn’t have permission to seize people in my Leisure Village."

"Just your Evil Lord Mansion wishing to seize people in Leisure Village?"

"Xie Ruhai, if you have the skill, go ahead and try."

Xie Ruhai was indeed the name of the Great Elder from Evil Lord Mansion.

The elder said no more.

But his face was already ashen.

The elder continued to stand in midair, without stepping into Leisure Village, yet without retreating either.

A moment passed,

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

More than ten figures controlling the air stood.

The formidable aura from each proved these individuals were anything but ordinary.

Below, Xiao Yi slightly sensed.

He didn’t need to deliberately sense it; just by observing the astonishing aura, he could determine these more than ten individuals were even far beyond the previous eight Fifty Thousand Dao experts.

Evil Lord Mansion was indeed as ancient as the Eight Palaces, with deep foundations.

Furthermore, more than half of these individuals had auras that greatly exceeded the level of Elder Jingz Yue.

"Hiss." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

"Great Elder." In the high air, more than ten individuals simultaneously greeted.

The elder nodded.

Then, his eyes turned icy cold as frost, filled with killing intent.

"I’ll cover Heartless Inn Master, you all swiftly go and kill Xiao Xun on site."

"Yes." More than ten people replied in unison.

The elder’s presence instantly shifted.

He had never retreated, waiting for this very moment.

His step instantly crossed into the boundary of Leisure Village.

Whoosh...

Almost in the instant the elder’s figure entered Leisure Village’s boundary, a silhouette leapt out of the air.

"Heartless Inn Master, huh." The elder coldly snorted towards the figure before him.

The elder was just about to make a move.

But the figure before him suddenly turned into a phantom, disappearing from the spot.

On the other side, the more than ten individuals also entered Leisure Village, charging directly at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

Just about to take action.

Whoosh... a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Its speed was terrifying.

Far exceeding these more than ten individuals.

Swoosh...

In the air, just a light slashing sound.

The first of the more than ten individuals fell to the ground upon the sound.

In the air, several gleams of coldness flashed.

Several more individuals were sealed at the throat.

The remaining ten were shocked; their faces changed, and they quickly retreated.

The battle occurred in an instant.

In that moment, Xiao Yi didn’t even see what happened clearly.

When he managed to see clearly, he saw just one figure standing proudly ahead.

The figure was a middle-aged man, clothed in coarse hemp garments.

Holding only a single blade of grass.

But that fragile blade of grass was sharper than the divine weapon.

On the ground lay five corpses, each throat sealed by the sword.

The aura emanating from the corpses, even in death, far exceeded the level of Elder Jingz Yue.

"Great Elder." The retreating ten looked hesitantly at the elder in the sky.

The elder gritted his teeth, "Retreat."

A light command, including the elder himself, the group totaling more than ten retreated instantly, disappearing into the distance in a moment.

The elder knew well he couldn’t stop Heartless Inn Master.

Within Leisure Village.

The middle-aged man in coarse hemp clothes turned his head to glance at Xiao Yi.

Then, he withdrew his gaze, shifted and disappeared.

In the air, only a light, detached word lingered.

"Once your injuries heal, feel free to visit Heartless Inn."

"Heartless Inn." Xiao Yi paused.

Isn’t this the Heartless Inn Master? One of the two most mysterious individuals within Guisha City.

"So... so strong." Xiao Yi finally reacted.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the Heartless Inn Master seemed to be a Sword Cultivator, and incredibly powerful.

"Hiss." Xiao Yi didn’t think further; the waves of pain coming from his body made him take a sharp breath.

Around him, at some uncertain time, a group of ’villagers’ gathered.

The ’villagers’ looked at Xiao Yi in the pit as if looking at a monster.

Their fierce gazes, corpse-like bodies, were truly chilling.

"Such dense killing intent." Xiao Yi squinted, feeling a shock in his heart.

Last time he came to Leisure Village, he didn’t look closely.

Upon closer inspection this time, he found in these ’villagers’ eyes, there was a shocking killing aura.

This is absolutely not the killing intent of ordinary Martial Artists.

Each of these villagers must certainly be battle-hardened, ruthless figures who crawled from heaps of dead bodies.

Just at that moment.

A figure walked towards Xiao Yi from the crowd.

The figure slightly cupped his hands in salute, "Three-star Ghost Hunter, Xiao Xun, please come with me."

Xiao Yi nodded, reluctantly standing up.

Not long after, the two stopped outside a simple hut.

"Three-star Ghost Hunter Xiao Xun, the Heartless Inn Master instructed this as your healing place."

"You may reside here for a month."

"Before the month is over, you must leave Leisure Village."
