Chapter 2198 - 2195:
"Vice Master Xiao Yi, I’ll lead the way."
The deacon hurriedly spoke and quickly led the way.
It seems Senior Luoo is not at the healing chamber now.
Xiao Yi nodded and followed.
After a while, in the depths of the Inner Hall of the Main Hall.
The deacon stopped at a distance and respectfully stood aside.
Xiao Yi gazed from afar with a frown.
In the distance, the Guisha City Lord was kneeling with blood seeping through the bandages on his chest.
Nearby, the Heartless Inn Master stood with his head lowered.
Changtian Wine Demon stood with his hands behind his back, occasionally smacking his lips.
In front, Senior Luoo was furious, pointing at the three and scolding them harshly.
"You." Senior Luoo’s cold face bore anger, "After years of seclusion, what have you been cultivating?"
"Wuxin, Wuxin, your heart is still there."
"For a hundred thousand years, stuck at that barrier without progress."
Senior Luoo first pointed at the Heartless Inn Master.
"You." He pointed to the Guisha City Lord, "Can’t win and still needed a junior to rescue you?"
"Shameful? Do you have any face left?"
"Why didn’t you just die out there?"
"You." He finally looked at Changtian Wine Demon, his anger soaring to the extreme.
"I’ve long known you’re useless, and lost all hope ages ago."
Senior Luoo waved his sleeve, "If any of you were useful, would you be bullied to this extent?"
"If you were useful, would you be on the brink of losing your life?"
Senior Luoo was clearly furious.
From afar, Xiao Yi was stunned.
In his impression, Senior Luoo always had a refined demeanor.
Even with a cold face, he’d never seen him lose his temper.
Xiao Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Senior Luoo."
"Xiao Yi, my boy." The trio of Changtian Wine Demon looked at Xiao Yi’s arrival and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yi." Senior Luoo took a deep breath, seemingly calming his anger.
"You came back without visiting me first?" Senior Luoo’s demeanor was excellent, swiftly replacing his anger with discontent and displeasure.
"In your eyes, is there still me as the Master of the Main Hall, me as a senior?"
Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile, without a word.
In the past, even when speaking with him coldly, Senior Luoo wouldn’t scold him over small matters like this.
Today, it’s clear he’s overly angered.
"Well, that is." Xiao Yi softly said, "After all, Elder Guisha is injured, needs good care."
"How about..."
Senior Luoo coldly said, "Just a waste, why bother with him."
Looking at Xiao Yi, he said, "The three of them are useless, but you’re not like them."
"The inheritance of my teachings and the Black Demon Hall’s millennia legacy, only you are qualified to take it over."
"Come with me to the Master of the Main Hall’s chamber."
With that, Senior Luoo waved his sleeve and left swiftly.
Left standing, Xiao Yi was full of confusion.
The trio of Changtian Wine Demon let out a sigh of relief.
"Good thing you came, or Master would’ve tossed Guisha out of the Main Hall just now."
Changtian Wine Demon sighed.
The Heartless Inn Master helped the kneeling Guisha City Lord up and also sighed.
"What happened?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.
The Heartless Inn Master shook his head.
The Guisha City Lord looked dejected, "Countless years ago, Master cultivated us carefully, hoping one of us might inherit his legacy."
"Today, it’s I who disappointed Master."
Changtian Wine Demon shook his head, "Guisha, it’s not your fault."
"That guy is indeed extraordinary. Seeing the trace of that sword, perhaps only Wuxin and I could stand against him in battle."
"It’s normal you couldn’t beat him."
"Don’t overthink it," Changtian Wine Demon chuckled, "Master’s been scolding for years, let him scold, I treat it as passing wind."
"These years, I’ve been beside Master often, used to it."
"Let’s go back to recover first," Heartless Inn Master supported Guisha City Lord to leave.
Changtian Wine Demon shook his head and left as well.
Left standing, Xiao Yi remained puzzled, frowning.
After a while, he relaxed his brow, looked around, and sighed.
There was a slightly complex expression between his brows.
"It’s been a year and a half since I last stepped here," Xiao Yi softly murmured to himself.
Evidently, since a year and a half ago, after he recovered his body and appearance, he hadn’t set foot in the Black Demon Hall Main Hall.
"Alas," Xiao Yi sighed.
It’s said absence makes the heart grow fonder, and things often completely change upon return.
But Xiao Yi didn’t have such feelings, in his view, everything was as it always was here.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yi’s figure flashed and left.
Inside the Master of the Main Hall’s chamber.
Xiao Yi’s figure appeared out of thin air.
Before him, Senior Luoo was seated at the desk.
By now, no trace of anger remained on Senior Luoo’s face, only his usual indifferent look.
Before Xiao Yi could speak, Senior Luoo began, "Loitered outside for a year and a half, had enough fun?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Actually, not yet. Just happened upon Elder Guisha in trouble, so escorted him back."
"However, I do have something to ask Senior Luoo."
Senior Luoo’s face briefly flashed with anger again, "Not had enough fun yet?"
"Before you ask your question, I think we need to clarify some things first."
"What?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.
Suddenly, two figures appeared out of nowhere.
It was the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master and the Soul Hall Master.
"Two Main Hall Masters?" Xiao Yi was taken aback, increasingly confused.
"Boy, long time no see," the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master raised an eyebrow, smiling lightly.
"Boy," the Soul Hall Master came straight to the point, "some matters, will you say, or shall we investigate ourselves?"
"I’ll say?" Xiao Yi frowned even more tightly, "What matters?"
Senior Luoo shook his head, "You, boy, your nature is still the same, refusing to admit until you face reality."
"Go ahead."
Senior Luoo gave a low command.
In an instant, the three acted.
"Uh," Xiao Yi was startled, unable to react before three powerful auras suppressed him.
The three swiftly surrounded Xiao Yi.
Three withered hands placed on Xiao Yi, on his chest, forehead, and back.
"What are the three Main Hall Masters doing?" Xiao Yi was full of questions.
Xiao Yi didn’t resist.
He knew the three weren’t attacking, but investigating him.
Of course, in the face of the combined force of three Main Hall Masters, he couldn’t resist even if he wanted to.
After a while.
The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master was the first to draw a sharp breath, "Ah... What kind of Small World is this, it’s so vast?"
"Over thirty thousand feet, boy, are you a monster?"
In fact, the Main Hall Masters had investigated Xiao Yi’s body a year and a half ago during the Holy Moon event.
And already knew Xiao Yi’s internal Small World was terrifyingly vast.
But sensing it once again, personally witnessing this terrifying Small World, was still utterly shocking.
Minutes later.
Senior Luoo first withdrew his hand, frowning.
The Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master also withdrew his hand, somewhat puzzled.
The Soul Hall Master shook his head violently, "It’s not possible? How could it not be? How could it not be?"
"These two Martial Souls indeed aren’t qualified."
"Just what is going on, if it’s not you, then who is it?"
The Soul Hall Master was somewhat lost.
"What are the three Main Hall Masters talking about?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
Senior Luoo said gravely, "The Emperor Soul Fruit has stopped growing."
"The timing coincides with the moment a year and a half ago when you restored your body and appearance, and recovered your aura."
