Chapter 2168: Chapter 2165: There Is One Person Who Can Help You

Holy Moon Sect, at the Honored Guardian grounds.

Xiao Yi and Yiyi stepped in at a leisurely pace.

As the Honored Guardian grounds for the Sect’s generations of predecessors, within, aside from the countless seniors who slumber here, there are also stored one after another incomparably precious pieces of Martial Arts Inheritance.

It could be said that the Honored Guardian grounds of a Sect are the most important place of that Sect.

To outsiders, it is almost absolutely forbidden.

Even within the Sect, perhaps only a scant few elders and members of the younger generation are qualified to enter.

If a Sect were to have even its Honored Guardian grounds sealed off by outsiders, that would be a colossal disgrace.

Thus, although the Eight Palaces had sealed off the Holy Moon Sect, they still left the Holy Moon Sect a bit of dignity, and did not seal this Honored Guardian place.

They only dispatched a small number of Secluded Palace Masters to guard the outer perimeter of the Honored Guardian grounds.

And here at the Holy Moon Sect’s Honored Guardian grounds, there was still a group of Holy Moon elders of considerable strength guarding.

At this moment, Xiao Yi and Yiyi walked in slowly, without meeting the slightest obstruction.

"Master of the Main Hall."

"Master of the Main Hall."

"Master of the Main Hall."

"..."

All around, figures cupped their fists in salute; the Secluded Palace Masters guarding the perimeter showed themselves and greeted them.

Lei Xiao of Unmovable Thunder Mountain, Xie Wudao of the Black Demon Hall, Sikong Wunian of Soul Hall, Xu Qianji of Heavenly Mechanism Hall...

And the rest.

The weakest were above Saint Sovereign Realm Fifth Layer.

The strongest were at Saint Sovereign Realm Eighth Layer in Cultivation, and at this level could be called invincible.

Xiao Yi swept a glance over the Secluded Palace Masters around him, but did not respond, nor did he answer even a little, not even deigning them a proper look.

One after another, the Secluded Palace Masters all frowned.

Xie Wudao frowned outright and said, "Brat Xiao Xun—no, brat Xiao Yi, you..."

Xiao Yi smiled, finally looking at Xie Wudao, nodding with a smile, "Hall Master Wudao."

The nod counted as returning a courtesy; the smile as greeting him.

"Er, this..." Xie Wudao was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Yi said no more, accompanying Yiyi as they continued forward.

Up ahead, Holy Moon elders appeared one after another.

Each old man’s aura was surging to the heavens.

Almost all of them were above seventy thousand Dao in Saint Sovereign Realm, and the stronger few were at Saint Sovereign Realm Eighth Layer.

"Holy Daughter..." The Holy Moon elders guarding the Inheritance Land all inclined their bodies slightly, yet what followed was an incomparably complicated look in their eyes.

As the Holy Daughter, Yiyi naturally had the right to enter the Inheritance Land; they would not stop her.

But Xiao Yi...

The elders all frowned slightly, yet were even more afraid to block him.

They understood all the better just what kind of status this young man now held.

Even if this young man seemed unwilling to acknowledge these statuses, as long as the eight Masters of the Main Hall recognized him, as long as the Eight Palace Elite recognized him, he was the only Eight Palace Master in the history of this continent.

The Holy Moon elders all sighed, their figures flashing as they disappeared from where they stood, slipping into the air.

From beginning to end, Xiao Yi and Yiyi encountered not the slightest obstruction.

After a while, Yiyi came to a stop.

Ahead, a surge of Space Power rippled; a few breaths later, the scene before them shifted greatly, transforming into an Inheritance Land that spanned ten thousand miles.

"My thanks, Young Master." Yiyi once more bowed in salute.

Xiao Yi shook his head, displeasure on his face, "Between you and me, what need is there for such formality?"

Yiyi shook her head seriously, "This bow, I offer on behalf of Master."

"I know that in the end Master crossed the bottom line of the Eight Palaces, and the eight Masters of the Main Hall originally would not have let it go so easily."

"Otherwise, the eight Masters of the Main Hall would not have sealed the Holy Moon Sect for seven days and seven nights in succession."

"It is only because the eight Masters of the Main Hall considered Young Master’s sake that they did not pursue these iron rules to the fullest."

"Young Master’s words in the Holy Moon Hall, though seemingly cold, seemingly casual, were in truth a disguised plea for Master and the Holy Moon Sect."

Xiao Yi looked at Yiyi and smiled, "My little maid is indeed clever."

Whether Yiyi had seen through his thoughts or not, that was not important.

What mattered was that the timid, well‑behaved maid of more than ten years ago had now clearly grown into a heaven’s proud daughter whose talent and mind were both outstanding.

At this moment, Yiyi’s gaze settled upon a Martial Arts Sacred Stele near the front of the Honored Guardian grounds.

That was Elder Cang Yue’s Martial Arts Sacred Stele.

Yiyi’s expression once more grew heavy, even sorrowful.

"Elder Cang Yue’s Cultivation was low, his strength weak; at least among the powerhouses of the Holy Moon Sect, he was at the bottom."

"But Elder Cang Yue was once my teacher in Martial Arts Enlightenment."

"Back then, when I had just entered the Holy Moon Sect..."

Yiyi spoke slowly, reminiscing about those days.

"Elder Cang Yue was very good at teaching people, often coaxing me, doting on me."

"Even though his strength was weak and inferior to many elders within the Sect, when it came to teaching, there were few who could surpass him."

"Besides, back then I had only just stepped into Postnatal, Innate, Mysterious Profundity, Mystic Breakthrough Realm—just a rookie in Martial Arts."

"For the old man to teach me was more than enough."

"..."

Listening to Yiyi’s words one after another, Xiao Yi’s heart suddenly understood.

No wonder at the grand Holy Moon event that day, Elder Cang Yue, even at the cost of his life and of incurring the Saint Lord’s wrath, still did not wish Yiyi to be deceived any further.

"Some old fellows truly are quite decent." Xiao Yi smiled sincerely.

"Mm." Yiyi nodded earnestly.

"Young Master said you would be leaving in a couple of days, so before you go, I wanted to come see Elder Cang Yue."

Xiao Yi was silent.

Yiyi also said nothing, simply staring at that Martial Arts Sacred Stele that was almost the ’shortest’ among those in the Honored Guardian grounds.

Two hours passed in full before Yiyi finally withdrew her gaze.

"Young Master, we can go." Yiyi returned to her usual calm, forcing out a strained smile.

"Mm." Xiao Yi nodded.

The two turned and left.

Behind them, with a clatter, Space Power surged once more, and the vast Honored Guardian grounds closed.

...

As night fell, Xiao Yi once more entered the seclusion room.

After a night in seclusion, the injuries on Xiao Yi’s body had stabilized by more than half again.

In truth, no one can understand a Martial Artist better than he himself.

Given Xiao Yi’s means as an Alchemist and the First Alchemy Sacred Fire, the Golden Flame Sacred Fire, it was only natural that his injuries would heal quickly.

The next day, at dawn.

Xiao Yi exited the seclusion room; the eight Masters of the Main Hall arrived as scheduled.

"Hoo." Xiao Yi let out a light breath and shook his head.

The eight wore slightly complicated expressions.

All eight were silent for a time.

After a while, it was ultimately the Asura Hall Master who first opened his mouth.

"Brat, we did, after all, publicly announce that you would assume the position of Master of the Main Hall."

"If you now refuse to inherit, refuse to assume the post and simply leave, then this matter..."

Xiao Yi shook his head, cutting in, "Seniors of the Eight Palaces, why must you make things difficult for this junior?"

"This junior has already said: from now on, I will only devote myself to Martial Arts."

The Asura Hall Master was about to speak again.

Senior Luoo interrupted, "That is a good thing."

The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master also nodded, "Indeed."

But then he gave a playful smile, "You have just stepped into Saint Sovereign Realm, and are only at First Layer Cultivation."

"For the Martial Arts Dao ahead, you will need guidance."

"Moreover, as far as we know, you have relied on yourself all the way here; behind you there has not been a single clear guide."

"Thus, what you cultivate is mixed and messy, and ultimately not a normal Martial Arts Dao."

"From now on, this old man can teach you, fuse all your skills into one..."

"And what are you, exactly?" Senior Luoo coldly cut him off. "Under this old man’s command, I have taught Changtian Wine Demon, I have taught the Black Demon Six Evils—each one a Legend above ninety thousand Dao, invincible among Saint Sovereign Realm Ninth Layer."

"You? What trash have you taught?"

"You..." The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master’s face darkened.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I intend to travel outside and do not wish to linger in one place for too long."

"Thus, I will not trouble the seniors."

"No." The Asura Hall Master smiled. "You going out to roam, this old man has no objections."

"But at the very least, you must first stabilize your level in the Saint Sovereign Realm, and also know how you should walk the Martial Arts Dao ahead."

"Since you are unwilling to stay long, perhaps there is one person who can help you."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi raised his brows slightly.
