Chapter 2294: Chapter 2290: The Mysterious 9-Member Group

Amidst the wind and snow, Xiao Yi confronted the nine figures.

The nine were all at the Peak of Eighth Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm.

And the elder who spoke was completely suppressing the other eight with his aura, definitely a Ninth Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

Such a powerful figure is rare in the world, and all are undoubtedly famous.

Yet Xiao Yi did not recognize this elder.

More importantly, the combined technique of these nine, that assassination attempt just now, Xiao Yi would not have mistaken it; these nine were extremely complex.

Even a powerhouse like Xie Ruhai might have met a certain death with that assassination attempt.

Yet Xiao Yi seemed to quickly avoid it.

In fact, it relied firstly on the strongest movement technique from the Ice Venerate Inheritance, the Ice Illusion Body.

Secondly, it was the instantaneous eruption of his physical strength and Primordial Power, reacting immediately.

But most importantly...

Xiao Yi glanced at his arm, where four Ice Patterns were, now one was dim.

Indeed, facing that assassination attempt, even Xiao Yi was not confident of dodging, and had to activate an Ice Pattern instantly.

A vast Primordial Power of three thousand three hundred thirty-three feet, and it was at a Saint Sovereign level burst, allowing him to evade that assassination strike.

Such a great price, Xiao Yi could not endure it many times.

Ahead, those nine, having failed one strike, were not in a rush to act again.

Of course, they did not relent either, cautiously projecting their aura, sealing the surroundings.

They were equally astonished at Xiao Yi’s ability to evade their combined assassination strike.

And since they had attacked, they could not allow any accident to occur, no second chance for Xiao Yi to escape.

"You are very cautious," Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and uttered.

The lead elder laughed coldly, "Master Xiao Yi’s renowned name and astonishing deeds are known throughout the Central Region today, by anyone."

"To ensure Master Xiao Yi today perishes here entirely, naturally, we can only be cautious."

The elder’s tone was exceptionally chilly, carrying an intent to kill.

Xiao Yi glanced around, his brows furrowed even tighter.

The lead elder smiled indifferently, "No need to look, we nine are proficient in encirclement and blockade."

"Your escape speed is not faster than our blockade speed."

"Of course, we also know as the proud Master of Eight Palaces, you must carry life-saving items from various Masters of the Main Hall."

"But you have no chance to leave here, how long can those life-saving items protect you?"

The elder’s tone was filled with confidence.

While speaking, his projected aura and blockade breath did not stop for a moment.

Xiao Yi’s face grew more unsightly, he could naturally sense the rapidly sealing space around.

A Ninth Layer Saint Sovereign’s mastery over Martial Arts Power was already quite perfect.

Eight Peak of Eighth Layer Saint Sovereigns, plus one Ninth Layer, the combined blockade was terrifyingly formidable.

If it were other Martial Artists, even at this Cultivation Realm, Xiao Yi would have confidence in dealing with them.

But these nine were too extraordinary.

Even if he could escape today, it would likely come at a very great cost.

Xiao Yi coldly chuckled, his gaze moved from the nine ahead, instead glancing at the distant wind and snow.

"You three fools, will you come out yourselves or should I blast you out?"

In the distance, only the sound of wind and snow blowing, no response.

"Humph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

With a cold snort, directly detonating the wind and snow in the distance, three figures emerged awkwardly.

It was Lu Yao, Lu Gao, and Lu Meng.

Xiao Yi, having summoned Purple Lightning and activated an Ice Pattern, using his physical strength, had already unleashed his full power.

Lu Yao and the three simply could not withstand this cold snort.

"It really is you three." Xiao Yi chuckled coldly, "Of course, I am somewhat surprised you dared to come."

"Humph." Lu Yao snorted coldly, "Death is at your door, yet still boasting?"

"Xiao Yi oh Xiao Yi, I truly don’t know whether to say you are too clever or too foolish."

"You should know, smart people usually do not live long, especially those who know secrets."

"And so?" Xiao Yi’s face tended towards cold indifference.

Lu Yao smiled smugly, "Had you not transmitted your voice to me before leaving, letting me know you discovered the secret, I wouldn’t have wanted unnecessary complications."

"Perhaps today you could have escaped alive."

"Sadly, you insisted on arrogance, threatening me, so I can only send you to the Netherworld."

"Hehe." Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "Lu Yao, do you know what a fool is?"

"Someone like you?" Lu Yao sneered.

"Senior Lu Yao," Lu Gao sneered, "Why bother saying more to this arrogant idiot? Anyway, he’s dead today, saying more is pointless."

Xiao Yi ignored Lu Gao, instead looking at Lu Yao, "A so-called fool is not someone who is dumb, nor lacking mental acuity, but rather someone arrogant and yet extremely foolish without realizing."

"If I am not mistaken, the one who handed over the severely injured body of Lu Lingxue to me was one of those nine?"

"Why don’t you ask these nine if their target is me or to help you?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Yao squinted.

"Let me ask you first." Xiao Yi shrugged, sneering colder.

"I have some guesses about these nine, let’s leave them aside; let’s talk about you, where does your intent to kill me come from?"

Lu Yao sneered, "Facing death, I’m not afraid to tell you, fool."

"You first ruined my plans, I originally thought Master Lei Xiao would personally come to Endless Snow Mountain, didn’t expect just you, a mere novice."

"With just you, dare to go against me?"

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "You mean the matter of those two Endless Ice Storms, I inadvertently saved Lu Lingshuang, yet opposed your junior brother?"

"She deserved death." Lu Yao spat out icily.

In the distance, the lead elder suddenly chuckled coldly, "Young Master Lu Yao, why bother saying more to him."

"Master Xiao Yi, famed for his eloquence and astute mind."

"Ordinary people easily fall into your schemes, right?" The elder’s gaze abruptly fell on Xiao Yi.

"In at most another minute, a hundred miles around will be sealed as solid as an iron barrel, even with Master Xiao Yi’s remarkable skills, there would be no escape."

"Of course, you also have no chance to leave now."

"Master Xiao Yi, known for his intelligence, let me take a guess what you’re trying to say."

"You’ll soon say it’s us exploiting Young Master Lu Yao and them..."

"You indeed exploited them." Xiao Yi interrupted coldly.

"So what if exploited?" Lu Yao sneered. "They agreed to help me become the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion Master, it’s the best deal."

"If you hope to use these words to sow discord between us, then I must say, Xiao Yi, you truly are a fool, you underestimated me, Lu Yao."

In the distance, the elder laughed chillingly, "Young Master Lu Yao is indeed wise."

"In fact, Master Xiao Yi was not wrong, our target was indeed him; but assisting Young Master Lu Yao in leading the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion is also our goal."

"To kill Xiao Yi, helping Young Master Lu Yao become the ruler of Endless Snow Mountain, is our task, hitting two birds with one stone, without missing a thing."

"Thank you for your assistance." Lu Yao bowed slightly, then his eyes turned cold, "Quickly kill this villain."

"As Young Master Lu Yao wishes." The elder sneered, "The minute is over."

Xiao Yi’s expression remained indifferent; seemingly, no one noticed his expression had long changed from tense to merely cold.

"Lu Yao, do you know why I had to leave the Ice Emperor Palace?" Xiao Yi smiled.

Lu Yao squinted.

Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "If I didn’t leave, how would I lure you bunch of demons and monsters out?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the surrounding air, "Four old things, heard clearly now?"

Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...

In the air, four figures appeared out of nowhere.

In the distance, the elder’s face changed dramatically, "Lu Long, Hidden Master Xia Yifeng..."

"How is it possible, we’ve sealed this place, no aura leaks out, the space itself is entirely locked..."

Xia Yifeng chuckled coldly, "Are you sure it’s you who sealed this place?"
