Chapter 2185: Chapter 2182: Breeze Territory

The atmosphere in the sky suddenly became heavy.

Ran Qi held the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear, standing silently in mid-air.

All of heaven and earth, in this instant, suddenly fell silent.

Even the two Cloud Beast Emperors ceased their movements.

Including Yiyi, who also remained silent.

All of this, simply because of the graceful gentleman who was silent at this moment.

He neither moved nor exuded any aura.

Just by being silent like this, frozen in time, he rendered everything and everyone present unable to make any unnecessary actions.

"Understood."

After a while, Xiao Yi uttered two words, with a voice heavy as water.

In his grave gaze, there was no trace of the previous casualness.

"You understand?" Ran Qi looked at Xiao Yi, with a heavy tone, mixed with some inexplicable emotion.

Xiao Yi glanced at Ran Qi and said in a deep voice, "Half a year ago, when Ye Liu was training outside, he encountered danger and died afterward."

"This incident shook the Central Region."

"Later, several Main Hall law enforcement teams of the Eight Palaces went to investigate and confirmed the news of his death."

"That was the only time I stopped my travels, but unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to see him one last time."

Yes, the news of Ye Liu’s death came half a year ago.

And that time, it was the first and only time in a year and a half of traveling that Xiao Yi briefly stopped his journey.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi did not make it to the Ye Saint Mansion’s funeral.

"I watched that boy’s coffin being sealed and buried with my own eyes," Ran Qi said desolately.

At the Ye Saint Mansion’s funeral, many of Ye Liu’s friends were present, including Ran Qi.

Only Xiao Yi did not go.

As the person who had the best relationship with Ye Liu, whom Ye Liu called ’brother,’ Xiao Yi was not present.

Xiao Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I went to the battlefield."

"Although the law enforcement team of the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall conducted a battle investigation report, I still went to check it myself."

Half a year ago.

Xiao Yi was traveling outside, focused on his journey, and did not participate in various grand events or battles.

Neither did he have any contact with the Eight Palaces.

Naturally, in terms of intelligence and such, he was far inferior to the major forces.

By the time he learned of Ye Liu’s death, the news had already spread throughout the Central Region.

He did not attend the Ye Saint Mansion’s funeral but instead visited the place where Ye Liu died.

"What did you find out?" Ran Qi’s face turned cold as he asked.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "The whole battlefield had incredibly intense battle marks."

"Sword marks, knife cuts, densely scattered; the area of tens of thousands of miles was a scene of mountain collapses and rivers destroyed."

"But the most shocking was a paw strike that pierced through the entire battlefield."

"There was still a lot of demon beast presence left in the battlefield, and it’s clear that paw strike was from a beast, done by a giant beast."

"The intelligence judgment from the law enforcement team of the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall concluded that Ye Liu’s real fatal wound was that paw strike."

"My judgment is almost identical to theirs, with little difference."

Ran Qi pressed further, "A conspiracy? Or..."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I’m not sure, but it probably isn’t."

"If I guessed correctly, Ye Liu must have been fighting with other Martial Artists at the time, and the battle was very fierce."

"Afterward, for some reason, he encountered this monstrous demon beast."

"There were no other human Martial Artists’ corpses on the site."

"Which means the Martial Artists fighting Ye Liu managed to escape, leaving only Ye Liu to die there."

"Are you sure there’s no mistake with the battle marks?" Ran Qi cautiously asked.

"I’m sure," Xiao Yi nodded heavily, "I didn’t attend the Ye Saint Mansion’s funeral mainly because I was worried that as time passed, the battle marks might get diminished or destroyed."

"When I got there, the marks in that battlefield were still undisappeared."

"I checked within a million miles around, and there was no clue."

Clang...

Ran Qi’s spear shook, "What kind of demon beast could it be?"

"To kill an opponent of mine, it cannot be an ordinary demon beast."

Ran Qi’s eyes showed a wave of murderous intent.

"I don’t know," Xiao Yi shook his head, "That demon beast only left one battle trace, meaning it only struck once."

"Based on this alone, it’s impossible to determine what kind of demon beast it is."

"Hoo." Ran Qi took a deep breath, seriously looking at Xiao Yi, "The death of that little Ye Liu is already a fact."

"And you, the opponent I once thought to be Purple Flame Yi Xiao, it’s you."

"My later decided opponent, Xiao Yi, is also you."

"You better live well, because someday, I’ll challenge you to a fight."

Ran Qi shouted, pointing forward with his long spear, the tip surging with thunder.

Xiao Yi nodded, saying no more.

He patted Big Yellow beneath him, saying solemnly, "Let’s go."

The two Cloud Beast Emperors left upon the clouds.

In the original place, Ran Qi’s figure flashed, descending from the sky.

The group from the Golden Ring Sect was already dead.

And below, the injured Martial Artists from the Four Sword Sect clearly had some association with Ran Qi and the Heavenly Spear Mansion.

Of course, Xiao Yi had no interest in these matters.

...

In the distance, Xiao Yi and his companion had already left the Four Seasons Territory.

The two Cloud Beast Emperors were peak demon beasts of the Saint Emperor Realm, in terms of strength, not inferior to Martial Arts Great Power.

And they were naturally able to use wind control, so in terms of flying and traveling speed, far exceeded Martial Arts Great Power.

In a short while, they had already left this territory.

At this moment, Yiyi glanced at the silent Xiao Yi beside her, softly saying, "Young Master and that Ye Liu Young Master of Ye Saint Mansion had a great friendship, didn’t they?"

Xiao Yi nodded, the somber expression on his face gradually fading, and he let out a slight sigh.

His face gradually returned to normal, gentle and natural.

Yiyi softly said, "When the news of the death of that Ye Liu Young Master spread, the Young Master was sad for quite a while."

Xiao Yi shook his head lightly, saying softly, "There are some things that cannot be helped, being sad is useless."

"This Central Region is indeed really vast."

"This past year, you and I have lived a free and easy-going traveling life."

"But this Central Region is still a place of constant slaughter, reputed as a tomb of Heavenly Talents."

"The affairs of this world are not something anyone can fully control."

This Central Region is indeed too vast.

With Xiao Yi’s current abilities, he could indeed traverse the entire Central Region.

But that would only be a straight line.

If that line were magnified countless times, it represents a very large concept.

A radius of ten thousand miles might not be much.

But what about a radius of a hundred thousand miles?

The entire area would be a hundred times larger.

What about a radius of a million or several million miles? And this is just the size of one territory.

The Central Region has thirteen thousand territories, including various disconnected lands, the entire range is probably no less than the size of tens of thousands of territories.

In summary, this Central Region is gigantic.

There are also various unpredictable changes in this world.

No one dares claim full control over everything.

Especially because this is a world where the strong devour the weak.

Some things are beyond the control of one’s own abilities; some things can only be done to the fullest extent.

The word ’sad’... cannot change anything.

"Hoo." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, looked at Yiyi, and smiled, "If I remember correctly, within the Four Seasons Territory, the scenery is serene, and the surrounding territories also have nice scenery."

"The next territory is called the Breeze Territory, which has an exceptionally unique Green Wind region, quite beautiful."

"Under the moonlight, the Green Wind mingles with the slightly white moonlight, creating a breathtaking scene."

"And if we’re lucky enough to encounter a day of heavy rain, it’s when the rain turns green, like emerald water flowing freely, a grand spectacle in the Central Region."
