Chapter 2179: Chapter 2176: Leaving the Holy Moon Sect

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The space shattered all the way.

Upon closer inspection, the figure was a middle-aged man.

His body wasn’t burly, but it was tall.

He wore a cyan and white elegant robe, a lock of blue-black hair draped over his forehead, with a handsome face, an extraordinary demeanor mixed with majesty and otherworldliness.

The middle-aged man flew all the way over, glancing at Xiao Yi below.

Then, within a breath, he landed on the mountain top.

"Fellow Masters of the Main Hall." The middle-aged man glanced at the eight people, nodded slightly, but did not salute.

"Dongfang Family Master." The Wind Shattering Palace Master said lightly, revealing the middle-aged man’s identity.

Indeed, the middle-aged man was the family head of this generation’s Dongfang Family.

In fact, the Dongfang Family is not included among the Hidden Hundred Families.

This time for the Holy Moon Sect event, they only sent the younger generation to participate and did not send any powerful family members.

In terms of influence and martial strength, the Dongfang Family is not much less compared to the Holy Moon Sect, at least not too weak.

At this moment, the Dongfang Family Master looked slightly displeased, "I heard that the Eight Palaces have sealed the Holy Moon Sect for ten days and nights."

"During this period, not only was the Holy Moon Sect forbidden to leave, but even the Hidden Hundred Families and our Dongfang Family’s heavenly talents were not allowed to leave."

"Asura Hall Master." The Dongfang Family Master looked at the Asura Hall Master and cupped his hands.

"You share a great bond with my father, and yet you treat the younger generations of our Dongfang Family this way?"

The Wind Shattering Palace Master spoke, "Temporarily sealing this place and keeping everyone here, the Eight Palaces have their reasons."

"Dongfang Family Master, there’s no need to be anxious; your Dongfang Family’s younger generation is presently inside the sect of the Holy Moon Sect, unharmed."

"I need an explanation." The Dongfang Family Master said solemnly with his hands behind his back.

"Let’s discuss this later." The Asura Hall Master said gravely, shifting his gaze away from the Dongfang Family Master.

"Later?" The Dongfang Family Master frowned, about to say more.

"Didn’t hear clearly?" The Demon Hunting Main Hall Master said sternly, after which he no longer focused on the Dongfang Family Master.

"Demon Hunting Main Hall Master..." The Dongfang Family Master clenched his fist.

"I currently do not wish to be disturbed; must you make me frown?" Senior Luoo spoke bluntly, his face already indifferent.

All eight Masters of the Main Hall kept a calm demeanor and no longer paid the Dongfang Family Master any attention.

"Luoo Venerable." The Dongfang Family Master glanced at Senior Luoo, frowned again, and then vanished in a flash.

The Dongfang Family Master left the mountain instantly, landing within the sect grounds of the Holy Moon Sect.

On the mountain top, the gaze of the eight Masters of the Main Hall remained unchanged, fixed on the distant proud figure who was moving further away from them.

Only at this time, their gaze had a touch of softness.

Even the usually cold Senior Luoo couldn’t help but restrain most of his coldness.

Of course, more evident on their faces was loneliness.

In the distance.

Xiao Yi, Yiyi, and Senior Swordswoman were gradually going farther.

Suddenly, Senior Swordswoman frowned and looked at Xiao Yi, "Boy, I think those eight old fellows treat you quite well."

"Although not as much as Divine Martial King and Flame Martial Palace Master, it’s still very good."

"Yet, your attitude these past days hasn’t given them any face."

The three were already flying through the air to the distance.

Xiao Yi smiled, "Is Senior Swordswoman referring to my words filled with killing intent at the Holy Moon Hall?"

Xiao Yi knew that Senior Swordswoman was referring to how he gave the Soul Hall Master no face at the Holy Moon Sect, directly threatening to kill, saying even the Soul Hall Master couldn’t protect them against his ruthless words.

Senior Swordswoman shrugged, "Though I too dislike that old thing, you could perhaps be more tactful; I saw he seemed a bit saddened that day."

Xiao Yi shook his head, facing the biting Gang Wind head-on.

"Who I intend to kill, I must kill; no one can change that."

"Since so, I might as well speak frankly."

"I just didn’t want to deceive the senior whom I at least still respect."

Some things, if they must be done, might as well be said directly.

"Moreover, if I believe in someone, why should I lie? How could I lie?"

Believe in someone?

Upon hearing this, Senior Swordswoman paused, then showed a smile and lightly scolded, "You, Xiao Yi boy, are still the Xiao Yi boy from back then."

The words were somewhat inexplicable.

But Xiao Yi, upon hearing this, gave a knowing smile.

Beside him, Yiyi slightly frowned and spoke, "My lord, I noticed the eight Masters of the Main Hall seemed displeased when you refused them earlier."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi asked with a light laugh.

Yiyi pondered for a moment and said, "It’s a very complex expression, with sadness, loneliness... In all, it looked like the expression Master used to have looking at me."

"The eight Masters of the Main Hall all wanted my lord to stay and inherit, but my lord’s attitude was quite resolute."

Yiyi simply spoke from feeling.

Perhaps she saw a familiar expression on the faces of the Masters of the Main Hall.

"Resolute?" Xiao Yi laughed softly, shaking his head again.

"As for inheriting, I don’t really care."

"I can inherit or not inherit; it doesn’t matter."

"It’s just that if I inherit, how should I face them in the future?"

How to face them?

Xiao Yi’s words seemed somewhat cryptic.

Yiyi was full of confusion.

Yet, far on the mountain behind, all eight elders’ bodies lightly trembled.

In the distance, the corner of Xiao Yi’s mouth unintentionally curled into a proud smile.

"Hush." Senior Swordswoman made a gesture for silence.

Then she stopped speaking, only sending a message.

"Boy, do you truly intend to inherit?"

"Though we have flown far away, those eight old fellows have deep cultivation and sensitive ears, and the happenings within this space probably can’t escape their perception."

"Showing your cards like this, it’s unlike your style... No, you’re scheming against them..."

Senior Swordswoman immediately realized, her expression turned somewhat strange.

Xiao Yi smiled, didn’t send a message, but directly said, "I know, I even know Senior Swordswoman’s message to me cannot escape the notice of the Masters of the Main Hall."

"It’s just that they schemed against me once, so I reciprocated, fair and square."

As the words fell.

The three’s figures completely reached the edge of the space and flashed away from this area.

Behind, on the distant mountain.

The eight elders simultaneously fell into silence.

How to face? Of course, they understood the meaning of these four words.

The reason their successor refused them, declined to inherit, was not anyone else but themselves.

This young man they had high hopes for cared not for the position of the Masters of the Main Hall but for their hearts.

...

Outside.

The figures of the three suddenly appeared.

This signified they had left the Outer World of the Holy Moon Sect and returned to the outside’s normal realm.

Only till now, Xiao Yi, who had been smiling, let his smile fade.

Replacing it was a complex expression and a sigh.

"I can fight against billowing waves of turbulence, fear not the difficulties of martial arts, and advance consistently for ten years as if nothing changed."

"But there are some things I truly do not wish to face."
