Chapter 2093: Chapter 2093: Supreme Dugu

Central Region, Southern Range.

Near the Southern Fire Territory, within a certain stretch of land.

Inside a vast manor residence.

A middle-aged man in black robes sat ramrod straight, his austere bearing making others dare not meet his gaze.

Yet the middle-aged man’s features were in truth wickedly enchanting, eerily bewitching, even extraordinarily handsome.

Beneath his cold, sharp brows was a pair of star-like eyes, brimming with a confidence that seemed to look down upon the world.

That aura of one in the highest seat, with every move of hand or foot, seemed as though it could shake heaven and earth.

This was the Evil Lord of the present age, master of the Evil Lord Mansion, foremost Evil Cultivator of this era.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Outside the manor, one after another, tyrannical, heaven-shaking auras rushed in.

In the blink of an eye, their number had reached dozens.

It was Third Guardian, Fourth Guardian and the others.

"We respectfully greet the Lord." Third Guardian and the gathered powerhouses bowed deeply.

The Evil Lord nodded lightly, indifferent.

Third Guardian and the others looked toward the elders seated to the left and right, and again cupped their fists together. "Great Elder, Great Protector, Second Elder, Second Guardian."

Xie Ruhai and the others nodded.

"How is it?" Three cold words spilled from the Evil Lord’s mouth.

Third Guardian and the others trembled, and said in a panicked voice, "Reporting to Lord, we are useless."

"Even after several days, we have still not taken down that Xiao Xun."

The Evil Lord said nothing, yet the gloom on his face, dark as still water, made Third Guardian and the rest repeatedly drop to one knee, not daring to raise their heads in the slightest.

"Lord, quell your anger." At the side, Great Elder Xie Ruhai took a step forward, bowing with clasped hands.

"That Xiao Xun, this old man has personally hunted him, has dealt with him, and knows just how troublesome and difficult to handle he is."

"The boy has some unknown means upon him, or perhaps Treasures, that shroud his aura. Even I cannot sense the slightest trace of him."

"During the last pursuit, if I had not locked onto him early with my qi, I would never have been able to catch up to him."

"And that boy’s methods emerge one after another, endlessly, often completely beyond expectation."

"Third Guardian and the others have never dealt with him; naturally they have suffered a great loss."

The Great Elder looked toward Third Guardian and the rest, his voice heavy. "These past days, you’ve not been able to do anything to him, and instead have been led around in circles by him, haven’t you?"

"Yes." Third Guardian’s expression turned ugly; he clenched his teeth and said, "That Xiao Xun is abnormally cunning."

"We were unable to catch up to his tracks, and instead, right under our noses, he wiped out more than ten percent of our branches."

"Utterly arrogant, utterly rampant, and utterly hateful."

"If this Guardian ever catches him one day, I’ll grind his bones to dust before I can vent the hatred in my heart."

The Evil Lord’s star-like eyes no longer paid heed to the kneeling Third Guardian and the rest, but turned toward Xie Ruhai.

"Is everything arranged?" the Evil Lord asked coolly.

Xie Ruhai nodded gravely. "Reporting to Lord, as you predicted earlier, Xiao Xun absolutely cannot go far, and absolutely will show himself again."

"These past days, this old man has already transferred the forces of the various branches in the Central Region to this place."

"With the Forbidden Spirit Sacred Mountain as the center, taking a radius of more than a hundred territories as distance, in total a range of eight hundred territories has already been fully sealed off."

"This time, when that Xiao Xun realizes what is happening, no matter how cunning he is, no matter what means he has, he will never again have the chance to escape."

"This time, even with wings, he will find it hard to flee."

"Very good." The Evil Lord nodded, satisfied.

In truth, as early as a few days ago, the entire Evil Lord Mansion had already emptied its nest.

Including this Evil Lord himself, who was already impatient to take Xiao Yi’s life.

Yet this Evil Lord of a generation was, of course, no ordinary character.

Even with the rage in his heart surging to the heavens, furious beyond restraint over what had befallen the Little Evil Lord, he still forcibly endured.

Only today, when the Evil Cultivators from the various lands within the thirteen thousand territories of the Central Region had all rushed to this eight-hundred-territory range, did he truly reveal himself.

At the same time, all the powerhouses of the Evil Lord Mansion followed as well.

The Evil Lord Mansion either did not move; once it moved, then it must ensure that Xiao Xun, this successor to the Black Demon Three Palaces’ Three Halls, would have no chance to escape with his life, no chance to rise again.

Whoosh...

At this moment, a stream of black qi surged in the air.

An elder appeared out of thin air.

"Hm?"

Almost the instant the elder appeared, the surrounding Evil Cultivators’ faces changed drastically.

Including Great Elder Xie Ruhai and the Great Protector, all of them shuddered.

Of all present, only the Evil Lord still sat ramrod straight, his expression stern.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

At the same time, within the vast manor, shadows flashed out one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a group of Black-clothed Martial Artists filled the entire manor, densely packed, yet uniformly arrayed.

And at that instant, the temperature within the manor plummeted.

Aside from the Great Elder and Great Protector, everyone else—Third Guardian and the others—had their pupils constrict.

This group of Black-clothed Martial Artists was so dense that their numbers were likely over ten thousand.

And in the eyes of these ten thousand Martial Artists, without exception, there shone a ghostly, cold light.

That coldness was chilling to the extreme.

As though, in their eyes, all things were already dead objects.

Rather than calling them a group of Martial Artists, it would be better to say they were Demons crawling out from the abyss.

Even when this group of Martial Artists looked at Great Elder Xie Ruhai and the others, their gazes held only ice and deathly stillness.

Only when their eyes turned to the newly appeared elder and to the Evil Lord did a trace of reverence surface.

And that elder, unlike the usual Evil Cultivators with their withered frames and ghastly visages, had a burly figure. Just standing there, he was like a towering, straight mountain peak.

"Supreme Dugu." Xie Ruhai and the others all bowed to the elder in unison.

The elder did not speak, nor did he move in the slightest.

"Uh, this..." Xie Ruhai and the others looked at the densely packed Black-clothed Martial Artists in the manor, their faces covered in shock, then looked toward the Evil Lord again.

This shock clearly was not because of the existence of these Black-clothed Martial Artists.

It was because this group of Black-clothed Martial Artists had actually appeared here.

The Evil Lord’s expression was frosty. "I said, at any cost."

"Great Elder, Great Protector." The Evil Lord looked toward Xie Ruhai and the others.

"The elders and protectors within the General Mansion are all to be deployed by you."

"No need to continue pursuing that Xiao Xun; you need only sit in guard along the various borders of the eight-hundred-territory range."

"Yes." Xie Ruhai accepted the order respectfully.

The Evil Lord then turned to the elder. "As for the pursuit of Xiao Xun within the eight-hundred-territory range, I’ll leave it to you, Dugu."

"Yes, Lord." The elder nodded, not seen to bow, yet the gaze with which he regarded the Evil Lord was likewise filled with reverence.

The Evil Lord rose at this, hands clasped behind his back as he stood. "This time, I will see to it that Xiao Xun does not leave the eight-hundred-territory range alive."

"Yes." The surrounding Evil Cultivators answered respectfully.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

One Evil Cultivator after another flashed away.

In an instant, the vast manor was suddenly empty.

...

On the other side.

"Hoo." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and stood up.

Yet in his eyes, besides shock, there was also a trace of incomparable gravity.

That aura of death from just now still coiled around his heart.

There were not many people or things that could give him such a dense sense of death; but every time he felt this, it represented one of the few extremest crises in his life of tempering.

Each time, it had been a near nine deaths and one life.

"The Evil Lord of a generation." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The owner of those icy eyes that had just now fixed on him, without question, was the master of the Evil Lord Mansion, that legendary Evil Lord.

He had been hunted by Xie Ruhai before, and roughly knew Xie Ruhai’s depth.

Even when he was pursued by Xie Ruhai last time, it had never given him such a dense, ultimate sense of crisis.

Naturally, within the Evil Lord Mansion, the only one stronger than this Great Elder of the Evil Lord Mansion was that foremost Evil Cultivator of the age, the Evil Lord.
