Chapter 2196: Chapter 2193: The Mysterious Pavilion Master

Bang... Bang... Bang...

Xiao Yi’s body erupted with Primordial Power, condensing several flames in his hand.

The first flame was the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.

Under his pure control, he forcibly used the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame to burn away the Sword Intent Thunder.

"Such profound Primordial Power." Xiao Yi frowned.

With his current strength, these Sword Intent Thunder were just remnants, yet he couldn’t easily dissipate them.

A full few dozen seconds passed.

Sigh...

Only then did the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame manage to destroy the Sword Intent Thunder one by one.

The second flame was the Earth Vein Golden Fire.

The golden flame with an astounding temperature, like molten lava, slowly flowed over the Sword Mark.

The flame gradually melted the extreme Cold Ice.

The third flame was the Golden Flame Sacred Fire.

Once the thunder was destroyed and the ice was dispelled, Xiao Yi could use the Golden Flame Sacred Fire to heal the Guisha City Lord.

After a good ten minutes,

the Guisha City Lord gradually woke up.

The gruesome Sword Mark on his chest had already healed.

Of course, that was all it was.

"I only temporarily healed the Sword Mark for you to stabilize your injuries."

"Your severe injuries still remain." Xiao Yi said gravely.

The Guisha City Lord weakly nodded; he naturally could sense just how weak his body was now.

"Who was that just now?" Xiao Yi frowned and asked.

"Why did he run?" the Guisha City Lord subconsciously murmured in confusion.

Upon hearing, he looked at Xiao Yi and answered, "I don’t know, as far as I know, there’s no such person in the Central Region."

"Even among Hidden Forces, there is no such person."

"I only know he is the rumored number one on the Lingyan Pavilion’s Heavenly Pavilion List."

"So mysterious?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Yes." The Guisha City Lord nodded, "This Lingyan Pavilion is already mysterious."

"Even with the intelligence capabilities of our Guisha City, we only roughly know this force’s existence."

"But as for their exact information, we know nothing at all."

Xiao Yi asked gravely, "Why did we provoke them out of nowhere?"

The Guisha City Lord let out a bitter laugh, "It wasn’t out of nowhere."

"In the past year or so, the Lingyan Pavilion has been widely distributing Lingyan Tokens, recruiting top-tier warriors above the Central Region."

"Quite a few Ghost Hunters from our Guisha City are among them."

"In just over a year, over a hundred Ghost Hunters from our Guisha City have joined the Lingyan Pavilion under coercion and temptation."

"Even the Ghost Hunter Emperor is among them, entering their Earth Pavilion List."

"Earth Pavilion List?" Xiao Yi asked again in confusion.

The Guisha City Lord nodded, "In the past, our Guisha City knew of the Lingyan Pavilion’s existence, but we never interacted."

"Over the past year, the once mysterious and low-profile Lingyan Pavilion has suddenly become high-profile."

"Naturally, I had to go investigate and find out the truth."

"And that’s how I ran into that guy, the number one ranked on the Lingyan Pavilion’s Heavenly Pavilion List."

"That guy?" Xiao Yi frowned, asking, "What did you find out?"

The Guisha City Lord let out another bitter laugh, shaking his head, "Not much, this Lingyan Pavilion is even more mysterious than I imagined."

"I only roughly know what kind of force this is."

"In the Lingyan Pavilion, each Martial Artist is a handsome man or beautiful woman, but of course, their true age is likely those of old monsters."

"Inside, the number of Martial Artists is not too many, at least it is for those huge forces."

"The actual number of true Lingyan Pavilion Martial Artists is only one or two hundred at most."

"And among them, there are the Heaven and Earth Pavilions."

"Only the most exceptional Martial Artists of the Lingyan Pavilion can enter these two ranking lists."

"Heavenly Pavilion List, 12 people; Earth Pavilion List, 36 people; a total of 48 people."

The Guisha City Lord recounted, "The 36 Earth Pavilion List experts are the backbone Martial Artist power of the Lingyan Pavilion, each of them is astonishing."

"The 12 Heavenly Pavilion List experts are only bestowed by the Pavilion Master, second only to the Pavilion Master, they rarely take action, but whenever they do, they always complete their task."

The Guisha City Lord stopped speaking at this moment, "That’s all I found out."

Xiao Yi nodded.

The Guisha City Lord was undoubtedly a formidable warrior and a Martial Artist skilled at gathering intelligence.

"When you tried to continue digging deeper, you were chased by this so-called number one on the Heavenly Pavilion List?"

"Yes." The Guisha City Lord nodded with a bitter laugh, but in his eyes, there was an involuntary flash of fear.

"How strong?" Xiao Yi pressed for answers.

"I don’t know, it’s impossible to tell." The Guisha City Lord exclaimed, "In the battle I had with him, it seemed like a long fight, but in reality, I only made it through three of his sword strikes."

"This person’s Sword Dao even surpasses Wuxin by a few margins."

"Hiss." Xiao Yi gasped.

Wuxin, the Master of the Heartless Inn, is the leader of the Black Demon Six Evils.

Each member of the Black Demon Six Evils masters a sword.

In terms of Sword Dao, Wuxin is almost the number one in the world.

In terms of strength, even the much-acclaimed number one under the eight Main Hall Masters, Changtian Wine Demon, might not defeat him.

However, this number one on the Heavenly Pavilion List could seriously injure the Guisha City Lord in just three sword strikes, which indeed suggests his strength is terrifying to the extreme.

This already nears the level of the eight Main Hall Masters in terms of strength.

Even equaling them is uncertain.

Xiao Yi couldn’t be sure, but he frowned deeply.

If the number one on the Heavenly Pavilion List was that strong, then what about the rumored Lingyan Pavilion Master?

Additionally, with the number one on the Heavenly Pavilion List having such strength, even possessing the might to easily kill the Guisha City Lord, why did he suddenly flee?

Xiao Yi’s mind was suddenly filled with countless questions.

During this past year and a half, he hasn’t paid attention to matters in the Central Region, and many of the changes have left him greatly surprised and puzzled now.

Especially the events that have occurred recently, which have filled his mind with heavy doubts.

"Looks like it’s necessary to return to the Eight Palaces and ask around." Xiao Yi frowned to himself.

"You should head back to the Eight Palaces." The Guisha City Lord said gravely, "Now that you mention it, I remember something."

"Half a month ago, didn’t you shatter a Lingyan Token?"

"In my recent investigations, the Lingyan Pavilion seems to be preparing to retaliate against you."

"The Lingyan Token is a symbol of the Lingyan Pavilion Master, representing the Master themselves."

"You forcibly shattered it, which means you were taunting the Lingyan Pavilion Master."

"I was going to report this matter to the Master of the Main Hall, but since you’re here, I might as well tell you. Go back to the Eight Palaces quickly."

"The Lingyan Pavilion is a very odd force."

The Guisha City Lord said gravely, "In the past, the Lingyan Pavilion has always been low-key."

"In this past year or so, they have suddenly become high-profile; no one could have predicted that this force would suddenly rise up and explode with such strong power."

"Within a short period, they have already recruited many top-tier warriors from the Central Region to their cause."

"With just a mere one or two hundred Martial Artists initially, they have probably doubled in number by now."

"From what I understand, many Hidden Families have secretly accepted their recruitment..."

Xiao Yi shook his head, interrupting, "I’m not afraid of them. If they want to exact revenge on me, they should be prepared for me to retaliate."

"But..."

Xiao Yi glanced furtively at Yiyi.

"Never mind." Xiao Yi shook his head, "Let’s head back to the Main Hall first then."

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, landing on Da Bai.

"It seems our journey must pause temporarily." Xiao Yi said with slight regret as he looked at Yiyi.

Yiyi shook her head lightly and smiled, "Everything is up to you, master."
