Chapter 2166: Chapter 2163: The Last Time the World Changed

"What? You killed Beiyin Wuxie?"

The woman and the Hall Masters clearly showed shock on their faces.

And Xiao Yi’s last sentence was obviously directed at the Soul Hall Master.

The Soul Hall Master looked somewhat distressed but still sighed with complexity.

Simultaneously, the faces of the other seven Hall Masters, including the woman and the Great Elder Sheng Yue, changed drastically.

Them, they had no doubt about Xiao Yi’s words now.

To the woman, from what she knew of Xiao Yi, his intelligence was almost like a monster.

This young man had already guessed many of her thoughts more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, he was prepared to go to her Holy Moon Sect.

This young man’s intelligence was so terrifying that he almost saw through everything.

He seemed handsome at times, sometimes as light as a jade gentleman; other times cold and ruthless, like an executioner.

But undoubtedly, this young man’s intelligence was astonishing to the extreme.

As for the Hall Masters, Xiao Yi, they trusted him completely.

Firstly, he was their successor, so they naturally believed in his skills and his words.

Secondly, and more importantly.

This young man, apart from his true identity as a Sword Dao Demons, also had the identities of Yi Xiao and Xiao Xun.

Any of these identities alone was enough to shock the Central Region and rank first among the young generation of the present.

Or more simply put, this young man could access all the secrets, intelligence, and ancient scrolls of the Eight Palaces.

And this young man was extraordinary in intelligence and skillful.

From long ago, he had started investigating things with a purpose; is there anything in this world that he couldn’t investigate?

Just then, Senior Swordswoman chuckled teasingly, "Young lad, well done."

"Others only calculated Yiyi for a moment, and you immediately exploded, started investigating and counter-calculating early."

"Would you call that infatuation clouding your judgment?"

"Ha." Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly.

Yet, among those present, there was more intense dread.

Including the Saint Lord.

If this alliance had truly succeeded, the consequences...

With Beiyin Wuwei’s means, intelligence, and calculations, would the Beiyin Palace truly be the one to be consumed?

If someday he borrowed the Soul Hall as a springboard, it wouldn’t be impossible to meddle with the Eight Palaces.

If this was a conspiracy and filled with ambition, it would be a great disaster for the entire Central Region and even the continent.

Of course, in Xiao Yi’s view, he wasn’t worried about these things.

The Saint Lord was blinded by ambition, let it be.

Senior Luoo, Demon Hunting Main Hall Master, and Asura Hall Master, all were old foxes and perceptive.

Even when Xiao Yi dealt with these three, he was cautious, walking on thin ice.

Thus, he wasn’t very worried about the Eight Palaces.

"Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you." Xiao Yi shook his head, chuckled slightly, "After all, it won’t be long before they become a dead person."

"Besides." Xiao Yi looked at the woman, "Today I’m discussing these matters with you, not interested in accusing you of anything."

"Of course, even less interested in you being calculated."

"I’m merely telling you, the road you’ve paved for Yiyi might not be good; this grand avenue you mapped for her might very well be a thorny path full of filth."

"And I’ll be taking her away soon."

"The cage of Holy Moon Sect can’t hold her; today I came specifically with her just to say goodbye, at least to bid farewell to you as her so-called Master."

"Is that good?" In the last sentence, Xiao Yi turned to Yiyi.

Though just two words, the meaning couldn’t be clearer.

It was asking if Yiyi wanted to leave Holy Moon Sect with him.

Yiyi nodded without hesitation, "Mm."

Xiao Yi smiled, "Alright, let’s leave it at that."

"Wait, there’s one more thing." The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master suddenly spoke, frowning.

Xiao Yi’s steps suddenly halted, as if he remembered something.

"Oh right, there indeed is one more thing." Xiao Yi also frowned.

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master saw this and smiled, "As expected of Xiao Yi lad, quick to react."

Beside him, Senior Luoo and Asura Hall Master nodded inconspicuously.

Obviously, the two of them had reacted.

"You ask." The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master chuckled.

"All the same." Xiao Yi shrugged, looking at the woman, "The thing to ask is the doubt the Demon Hunting Main Hall Master just had."

"As I said before, you do care for Yiyi greatly, most of what you did was for Yiyi, of course, also for your Holy Moon Sect."

"Logically, given how you value Yiyi’s talent, you should let her focus on cultivation and inherit your Holy Moon Sect."

"Yet you insist on having her control the Beiyin Palace simultaneously?"

"Although it’s one of your ambitions, what exactly is your ambition?"

"Ambition?" The woman, no longer mocking and disdainful of Xiao Yi, still sneered, with an icy demeanor.

"Rather than saying ambition, it’s more about preserving my Holy Moon Sect and the Hidden Hundred Families."

"You all should know, in the past, at most over half of the Hidden Families supported me; Holy Moon Sect, but now, they all do, the reason?"

"Very simple." The woman coldly said, "Self-preservation."

"Self-preservation?" Everyone present furrowed their brows, puzzled.

The woman coldly said, "Surely, you all have felt that the sky is about to change."

"Almost all powerhouses who have entered the Saint Sovereign Realm have the ability to resonate with the heavens and earth."

"My Holy Moon Sect, along with all the Saint Sovereign Realm level powerhouses of the Hidden Hundred Families, also know this sky is about to change."

"Of course, you feel it too." The woman looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, silent, clearly acquiescing.

"And you all." The woman looked at the eight Hall Masters, "With your level, the perception of this heaven and earth resonance is even more intense."

"You understand more clearly how drastically the sky will change."

The Asura Hall Master said solemnly, "When the sky falls, we Eight Palaces will hold it."

"Hold it? With just you?" The woman laughed a few times.

"Let me be honest with you, this sky will change more drastically than you can imagine."

"Do you really think that this catastrophe is as simple as it seems?"

The woman’s tone grew heavier, "You should know, my own resonance with heaven and earth is actually more apparent than you eight."

"But even this time, the sky change makes me tremble."

"Such a terrifying celestial providence, the previous time it occurred was in my Master’s era, the same as Luoo Venerable’s; that time my Master perished."

"The Six Venerables lost four directly, the Ice Venerable was left with unknown fate, surely dead by now."

"Only you, Luoo Venerable, the most skilled of the Six Venerables, survived."

The woman coldly said, "This time is more terrifying than even the last."

"I can’t see even a glimmer of hope in this celestial providence, only sense immense terror."

"Originally, this sky change should have been challenged by that Crown."

"Such a drastic sky change, surely the heavens will birth a supremely powerful Crown, far surpassing previous generations."

"But unfortunately, that Crown fell."

"Just with you Eight Palaces trying to counter it? Just with my Holy Moon Sect alone trying to counter it? That’s just a pipe dream."

The eight Hall Masters’ faces instantly changed.

...

Third update.

Today’s update, done.

Phew... after reading the comments, I’m again troubled by my update timing.

Since everyone says if you can’t guarantee it, then don’t.

Little Ba will no longer guarantee.

Originally, I set a fixed update time just to pressure myself and update quickly.

Since it’s become something frequently picked on for lack of credibility, I’ll simply not guarantee it.

After all, no one dictates when I update, nor does anyone dictate how much I should update daily.

Henceforth, updates will be relaxed.

There will be updates daily, timing unsure, relaxed.
