Chapter 2296: Chapter 2292: Interrogation

Clang... Boom...

In the air, a white giant sword swept across, first emitting a crisp sword cry, then followed by an explosion of space collapsing.

The giant sword, with just a single sweep, engulfed the surrounding hundred miles with sword momentum weighing ten thousand jun, pressing down so heavily that the hundred miles space seemed ready to drip water.

Among the nine dispersing and fleeing, the leader elder was the fastest.

But there was someone whose speed surpassed his, faster than anyone present.

Lu Long’s figure suddenly appeared in front of the elder; the white giant sword seemed to form an insurmountable chasm.

"Lu Long." The elder coldly eyed the road-blocking Lu Long ahead, his expression immensely grave.

"I admit I’m not your opponent, but if I want to leave, you can’t stop me."

Lu Long remained silent, his expression icy.

Whoosh... The elder’s figure flashed, transforming into a brilliant blood light.

The blood light, in an instant, transformed into dazzling luminescence.

Hiss... A vast blood light, as if a blood sea, surged for a moment, then turned into countless blood droplets.

"Blood Dao Secret Technique?" Lu Long murmured to himself.

The myriad blood droplets swarmed the vastness; even if just one droplet surpassed Lu Long’s block, it meant freedom and escape.

"You can’t stop me." Countless voices of the elder resonated from the blood droplets.

In a flash, like raging blood flow, it surged away.

Buzz...

The Ice Storm Giant Sword in Lu Long’s hand trembled.

Roar... An earth-shaking roar, a massive ice dragon stormed fiercely from the endless snowstorm.

The immense ice dragon, more than ten thousand zhang in size.

Just its gigantic head seemed to wield the power to devour heaven and earth.

The ferocious ice dragon, enormous, akin to a ferocious giant sword’s assault.

With a single charge, the vast blood light was entirely devoured by the ice dragon, and the fierce impact carved out a transverse line of void in space stretching a hundred thousand zhang.

When the ice dragon vanished, in the air, the elder was already a broken corpse, powerless, falling from high up.

In the distance, another corpse fell.

The force of the massive ice dragon’s assault, just its aftershock, rendered the surrounding hundred miles a place of silent annihilation.

Among the fleeing nine, one closest to the elder’s direction, perished directly in the wave of this fierce power.

The body looked intact, but was evidently like a mass of flesh pulp.

This is Lu Long, a single sword’s might, directly causing a Ninth Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm expert to fall; even a Saint Sovereign Realm Eighth Layer expert, far away, was instantly turned to pulp by the sword’s aftershock.

Meanwhile.

Xia Yifeng’s figure flashed three illusions in the air.

Seeing Xia Yifeng point out a finger, life swiftly vanished from one individual.

In another illusion, Xia Yifeng struck with a palm, rendering another breathless.

In the third illusion, though no action was seen from Xia Yifeng, the martial artist before him immediately annihilated in space power.

"Hidden Master... so strong..." These were the final words of the peak of Eighth Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm martial artist.

Upon closer inspection, they weren’t illusions at all, but afterimages from Xia Yifeng’s extreme speed.

Bang... Bang...

Clap... Clap...

Simultaneously, in four other directions, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong each instantly killed two.

Thus, the mysterious group of nine was all dead.

Although these nine were formidable, with extraordinary means, and fled separately, not one could escape alive.

"Impressive." Xiao Yi glanced at the Four Great Guardians, nodding in satisfaction.

If it were him facing this mysterious group of nine, he would absolutely not be so easily able to handle them.

Not to mention defeating the nine, if they were intent on escaping, he would not be able to stop them all.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

The four flashed back, bowing, "Palace Master."

Xiao Yi glanced at the nine corpses, slightly furrowing his brow, but said little more.

The nine left no survivors, but even if they had, it wouldn’t have been of much use.

"Palace Master, how should these individuals be handled?" Lu Long glanced at the three of Lu Yao, directing an inquiring look towards Xiao Yi.

As Lu Long uttered ’Palace Master,’ and in his usually impulsive temperament now managing to suppress his inner rage, the inquiring look already represented his current thoughts.

The three Guardians all cast a surprised look at Lu Long.

Xiao Yi lightly smiled, "Lu Long, what about the slash you struck against me?"

Lu Long clasped his hands together and bent his waist, "Entirely at the Palace Master’s disposal."

"Alright." Xiao Yi lightly nodded, "I’ll settle that with you later."

"As for the three of Lu Yao, being disciples of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion and descendants of the Lu Family, how to handle them..."

"Is there any need to say more?" Guardian Bing interrupted coldly, "Conspiring against the Palace Master, a heinous betrayal, according to the palace law, should be executed on the spot."

"Lu Long, what do you think?" Xiao Yi looked at Lu Long.

"Listen to the Palace Master." Lu Long remained bowed.

In the distance, the three of Lu Yao, upon hearing this, immediately changed their expressions, panicking.

"Clan Leader, you can’t do this." Lu Gao exclaimed in shock, "This Xiao Yi is notoriously ruthless; if we fall into his hands, we’d surely die."

"Clan Leader, save us..." Lu Meng mourned with a sullen face.

"Still daring to be insolent?" Guardian Nangong struck a mid-air palm out.

Lu Gao and Lu Meng were directly slapped away by the palm, spitting bloody salivas.

"Heh." Lu Yao sneered, "Lu Gao, Lu Meng, do you not realize yet?"

"They will not spare us."

These three should have known their end long ago; they had thought of escaping, but seeing the mysterious group of nine all dead within mere breaths, they could only dismiss the thought.

Their meager strength left no chance for escape.

"Palace Master." Lu Long looked at Xiao Yi, "I still wish to ask for clarity."

Xia Yifeng also looked at Xiao Yi, "Palace Master, a round of interrogation is good; the purpose of Supreme Tower sending such powerful assassins to the Endless Snow Mountain is still unclear."

The nine did not leave any survivors as if being outstanding assassins, extensive interrogation would yield no useful information.

Now instead, interrogating Lu Yao and others might reveal something.

"As you please." Xiao Yi nodded, "After handling it, come find me; I have other matters to deal with with the four of you."

"What matters?" Guardian Nangong asked, "If the Palace Master has important tasks, naturally resolve those first."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "It’s nothing major; we’ll discuss it later."

"Let’s go."

Saying so, Xiao Yi turned around and flew through the air towards the Ice Emperor Palace.

Behind him, the Four Great Guardians pressed Lu Yao and the others, also flying back.

...

In the Xia Family Territory, still on the Snow Mountain Peak, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged.

He hadn’t planned to leave the Ice Emperor Palace today; he indeed had matters to handle there.

An hour later.

Xia Canglan’s figure appeared out of thin air, "Xiao Yi, boy."

Xia Canglan’s face was all smiles.

"All handled?" Xiao Yi opened his eyes, asking.

Xia Canglan nodded, "The treacherous plot of the three of Lu Yao has been announced throughout the Ice Emperor Palace by the Four Guardians, and all the elders and palace warriors are aware."

"Next, preparations for interrogation are underway."

"Still not interrogated?" Xiao Yi lightly frowned.

Xia Canglan smiled wryly, "Now in the Ice Emperor Palace, you’re the highest authority, without your presence, the Four Guardians and all the elders naturally won’t dare make decisions on their own; they’re all waiting for you."
