Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2102: Chapter 2102: Fire Whale Territory

Central Region, Southern Range.

Xiao Yi’s figure is still stealthily moving.

All along the way, the sights remain shocking and distressing.

Evil cultivators rampage, committing mass slaughter, and the scent of blood has spread across more than a hundred regions.

Of course, the massive influx of the Eight Palaces Law Enforcement Team has somewhat suppressed the arrogance of the evil cultivators.

The clash between these two ancient powers, unless it truly explodes to the extreme, cannot reach a conclusion quickly.

The current suppression can be considered a beginning.

If the situation drags on and the Eight Palaces make their preparations here, the decline of the evil cultivators will accelerate rapidly.

Xiao Yi is not mistaken about this.

The Evil Lord Mansion is formidable, but Xiao Yi has more confidence in the Eight Palaces.

But for how long this will last, whether a month, several months, half a year, or even longer, is unpredictable.

The elite martial artists from both ancient powers, now filling this confined range, likely number in the tens of millions and even more than imagined.

In such large-scale battles, unless it erupts to the utmost, there’s no way it can conclude quickly.

Of course, Xiao Yi is not worried about these now.

In just a few more hours, he will be able to leave this confinement range.

At that time, the sky is vast for the birds to fly, and the scourge of evil cultivators here will dissipate swiftly.

”Once crossing this region, I will enter the Fire Whale Territory,” Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

Xiao Yi tightened his black robe and moved silently.

As he walked, he also observed his surroundings.

An independent martial artist should possess caution beyond ordinary measure and keen observation.

Only in this way can the best responses be made in every moment.

These days of stealth, Xiao Yi seemingly advanced effortlessly.

In reality, he had encountered countless evil cultivator traps and encirclements along the way.

But each time, these evil cultivators failed to notice him and he had already passed through silently.

Step...

Xiao Yi stepped onto the street, surveying all around.

The sky above this large city was equally filled with intense oppression.

Pedestrians and martial artists on the thoroughfare all seemed inexplicably gloomy.

Pedestrians hurried, fearing they might encounter some unforeseen disaster.

Even when martial artists encountered acquaintances, they conversed warily and softly.

Such an atmosphere of apprehension and readiness to panic was exceedingly oppressive.

A mixture of coldness and caution existed in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

He knew very well that the martial artists on the thoroughfare might be full of evil cultivators.

On the surface, they might appear to be typical martial artists.

But secretly, they were the spies of the Evil Lord Mansion.

He clearly noticed these seemingly ordinary martial artists constantly surveying passing martial artists.

A minor slip-up might very well lead to exposing his whereabouts.

Tens of minutes later.

Xiao Yi passed through the small city, without relaxing his mind even slightly.

Looking back, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

”Such a small city hides thousands of evil cultivators,” he remarked.

He would not mistake this, and thus felt even more appalled.

Previously, an Evil Cultivation Branch had at most a hundred people or just five hundred to a thousand in a larger branch.

In a region not excessively plagued by evil cultivators, there would be at most ten or twenty small branches.

No region had evil cultivators numbering beyond ten thousand.

But now, the evil cultivators in a single region likely number over a hundred thousand.

Excluding those from the vast numbers of ordinary Heavenly Extreme Realm and Saint Realm evil cultivators.

Just the elite evil cultivators above the Saint King Realm likely number in the millions within several hundred regions.

Factoring in those lower-tier ones, the sum most likely exceeds tens of millions.

This is the Evil Lord Mansion; this ancient colossal force.

It was the first time Xiao Yi clearly understood and confronted the terrifying nature of these ancient powers.

An hour later.

”Entering the Fire Whale Territory now,” Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up.

Before long, he would fully pass beyond this confinement range.

...

Elsewhere.

Southern Range, within a certain region.

The Evil Lord stood with hands behind his back, his face hard to look at.

”Seven days and nights, without a trace of him.”

”Are these hundreds of regions truly so vast?”

The Evil Lord’s tone was chilling to the extreme, carrying hints of exasperation.

But what he truly wanted to say was, is the stealth skill of Black Robe Xiao Xun so formidable?

Despite mobilizing the power of the Evil Lord Mansion, unleashing strong ones, they still cannot handle this youth not even thirty, merely twenty-seven or eight years old?

A mere 27-8 years, in his long lifetime, barely counts as a fraction of a fraction.

The Evil Lord Mansion’s martial artists responsible for encirclement and pursuit have lived hundreds, thousands of times longer than this young man.

Such a group of seasoned strong ones is being outwitted by a youngster?

At the same moment, far in a certain place.

Great Elder Xie Ruhai’s face was equally grim, clearly knowing how deep the Lord’s rage was now.

”Report, Great Elder.” Suddenly, an airborne evil cultivator arrived, bowing respectfully.

”What is it?” Xie Ruhai impatiently asked.

The evil cultivator reported, ”Poison Robe Guardian requests an audience.”

”Poison Robe?” Xie Ruhai heard and slightly frowned, ”What’s he doing here? Announce him.”

...

After a while, a poisonous mist floated in.

The mist dispersed, revealing Poison Robe’s figure.

”What brings you here?” Xie Ruhai frowned.

”Naturally, to assist in killing that monster Xiao Xun,” Poison Robe chuckled.

”Assist?” Xie Ruhai furrowed his brow, ”Wen Yi, your talent is extraordinary, and you have the Desert Shadow Spider Martial Soul, one of the Ten Beasts of Great Wilderness, hence the Lord promoted you as a General Mansion Guardian exceptionally.”

”But in terms of strength, any Hall Master under me is stronger than you, what help can you offer?”

Xie Ruhai shook his head, ”Return to the General Mansion, you’re still young, this isn’t a place you can intervene.”

Poison Robe usually referred to himself as ’old man.’

But before Xie Ruhai and most Evil Lord Mansion strong ones, he indeed was just a young man.

Poison Robe clasped his hands, solemnly said, ”Great Elder, killing that monster Xiao Xun isn’t solely our Evil Lord Mansion’s ambition.”

”Oh?” Xie Ruhai displayed doubt.

”Also Miss Shui,” Poison Robe smiled playfully, ”Miss Shui offered Black Robe Xiao Xun several chances.”

”Unfortunately, Xiao Xun not only never cherished them, repeatedly thwarted Miss Shui’s plans, angering her.”

”Now, Miss Shui wishes nothing more than to tear him apart.”

An ounce of venom flashed in Poison Robe’s eyes, ”Miss Shui claims she has a way to make the monster reveal himself, but needs your assistance.”

”Oh?” Xie Ruhai heard and delight surfaced.

After listening to the words, Xie Ruhai narrowed his eyes, ”Is she certain?”

Poison Robe nodded, ”Miss Shui, always foresighted, devises plots flawlessly, she absolutely can’t be wrong.”

”Fine.” Xie Ruhai nodded, eyes steely, ”Then I’ll make a trip there.”

...

Elsewhere.

Fire Whale Territory.

”Fire Whale Territory, renowned as one of the largest regions in the Southern Range,” Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

This region would be tough to cross.

But once passed, the remaining ten or so regions can be traversed with ease.

...
