Chapter 1815: Chapter 1815: This Confident?

"What is it?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the five people. Instantly, not only did they form an encircling stance, but five powerful auras firmly locked onto him.

Xiao Yi’s expression remained calm as he indifferently asked.

"What is it?" The Five Great Academy Elders sneered, "What do you think?"

The five of them stared directly at Xiao Yi, faces cold.

Just moments ago, all the major forces were expressing their gratitude, full of harmony.

Now, the sudden derisive remarks from the Five Great Academy Elders made the scene extremely abrupt.

The forces that were originally about to leave all stopped in their tracks.

Many strong figures from various forces had already noticed that martial arts aura locking on.

Seeing the Five Great Academy Elders’ unfriendly gaze towards Xiao Yi, the crowd frowned.

"What do you mean, Five Great Academies?" one expert from a force asked with a frown.

"What do you think?" the Five Great Academy Elders coldly replied, "What, just because this little thief Xiao Yi saved your young Heavenly Talents, you’re all grateful?"

"Are you going to flatter him, fawn over him?"

The Golden Dawn Academy Elder sneered, "Have you forgotten that this little thief was once a notorious villain who slaughtered sword cultivators worldwide."

"This person is ruthless, wherever he goes, there is always a bloody storm."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gongsun Huowu was the first to shout in anger.

Ye Liu and Ran Qi narrowed their eyes slightly.

Mo Youu frowned.

Qing Lin’s face was cold, but he remained silent, looking at Xiao Yi with only trust in his eyes.

On the side of the Five Great Academy, Guu Feifan was also frowning.

Linghu Wang and others showed surprise and doubt.

Only Golden Dawn sneered coldly, "The elder is absolutely right, Xiao Yi’s infamous deeds have long spread throughout the Central Region."

"Infamous deeds?" Ao Donglou sneered, "A mere child, do you think you have the right to speak here?"

"You..." Golden Dawn’s face turned angry.

"If he isn’t qualified, is this elder qualified?" The words of several Eighteen Mansions Elders from Sword Light Mansion and Dominating Star Mansion rang out instantly.

"What, just because the Golden Dawn Academy Chief says something truthful, it’s not allowed?"

"Little thief Xiao Yi, slaughtered our Sword Light Mansion’s Young Master, his method of splitting the body with a sword, cruel and vicious, is known to all."

"Almost a year ago, he caused a ruckus in our Eighteen Mansions territory, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, which is also a fact."

Ao Donglou’s eyes were cold at these words, "Heh, did this old man hear incorrectly?"

"A few mere elders dare to say you’re qualified against this old man?"

"Ask your own Mansion Master if he dares to speak to me, Ao Donglou, in such a way."

Boom...

Majestic sword qi erupted explosively.

Several Eighteen Mansions Elders instantly felt uncomfortable under the suppression of the sword qi, their qi-blood churning inside.

"Hmph." Ao Donglou snorted coldly as he withdrew his imposing aura.

Several Eighteen Mansions Elders’ expressions changed, no longer daring to speak.

They suddenly realized that standing before them was the Palace Master of Dongli Sword Palace, one of the Three Great Sword Palaces in this era.

This Peak of Supreme expert was renowned for his strength in the Sword Dao throughout the Central Region.

"Fact, what fact?" Ao Donglou scolded, "Do you really think the incident in the Eighteen Mansions territory can be a one-sided story from you, as if everyone else is ignorant?"

"The matter of slaughtering sword cultivators worldwide, even included disciples of my Dongli Sword Palace."

"But if they were blinded by the Sword Emperor’s opportunities, willing to forsake their pride as sword cultivators to kill and seize treasures, then having them killed in retaliation, what complaints can they have?"

"They were coveting treasures beyond their capabilities."

"Even this old man had the decency to not seriously concern himself with Xiao Yi, my young friend." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Indeed." The experts from the various first-class forces nodded in agreement.

"Although it’s not something we’re too willing to admit."

"Although among the world’s sword cultivators, there are also Heavenly Talents and experts from our first-class forces."

"But should we speak much more of killing and seizing treasures leading to retaliation?"

"Moreover, case by case, this time regarding the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion excursion, it’s indeed thanks to Vice Master Xiao Yi that our families’ Heavenly Talents returned safely."

"We, the major forces, will remember this grace."

For a moment, the surrounding was filled with the sounds of arguments, scolding, and sneering.

And the protagonist, standing within the encircling formation, faced was the calm Xiao Yi.

"If you have plans, why not say them outright?" Xiao Yi’s lips curled into a cold smile, and his gaze swept disdainfully over the five people.

"Such an arrogant little thief." The Five Great Academy Elders sneered.

Then, the Five Great Academy Elders looked around at the martial artists of various forces, "Those who have nothing to do with this, leave now."

"Interfering with others’ business could cost you your life."

"What, you’re threatening us?" Martial artists from the various first-class forces remained unafraid.

The Five Great Academy Elders sneered, ignoring them and looked back at Xiao Yi.

"As for you, little thief Xiao Yi."

"We won’t say much. If you’re wise, obediently come along with us."

"Ha." The Heavenly Star Mansion Elder sneered, "Looks like certain people are revealing their true intentions now."

"Now they are aggressive, just because they covet Vice Master Xiao Yi’s fortune from the Ancient Emperor."

"No need for extra words." The Five Great Academy Elders’ faces were already showing murderous intent.

"Little thief Xiao Yi, either you obediently come with us, or, ha."

Boom...

As soon as the words fell, the aura of the five erupted instantly.

In attendance, except for Ao Donglou, every martial artist was suppressed.

Elders of the major first-class forces, including the Eighteen Mansions Elders, couldn’t even lift their aura.

"So strong." Shocking expressions appeared on everyone’s faces in attendance.

"Five Supreme 9998 Dao, no, one of them has reached the Peak of Supreme 9999 Dao." Ao Donglou’s eyes narrowed, he instantly discerned their strength.

These Five Academy Elders, accompanying the chiefs and the most outstanding disciples of each academy, were certainly not ordinary elders.

It’s likely they were amongst the strongest hidden elders of each academy.

The faces of the gathered martial artists instantly became unsightly.

The five academy elders, seeing this, withdrew their auras, five immense oppressive forces heavily pressed on Xiao Yi.

Their intentions were clear without words.

Clang...

Ao Donglou immediately condensed a majestic sword in his hand and charged forward with his sword.

The crisp sound of the sword resonated with an overwhelming sword momentum.

Among the Five Academy Elders, one of them, with a palm strike, instantly intercepted Ao Donglou who was advancing with his sword.

This person was the Peak of Supreme 9999 Dao expert among the Five Great Academy Elders.

And this person was not an elder from the Heavenly Hidden Academy but from the Golden Dawn Academy.

In his hand, a golden wheel, extremely sharp.

Clang... another clang sound.

Ao Donglou was instead forced back ten steps.

"Formation? Five Great Academy, you’ve gone mad, daring to abduct the next successor of the Main Hall of Wind Brake and Asura Two Halls?"

The face of the Five Great Academy Elders was icy, "Why wouldn’t we dare?"

"With the formation of the Five Great Academy enhancing us, our five’s auras and strengths are interconnected."

"Here, even you, Ao Donglou, are not a match for us."

"Moreover." The Five Great Academy Elder stared coldly at Xiao Yi, "We’re just inviting this successor of the Two Halls for a visit, not intending to take his life."

"Of course, if he resists stubbornly, then should anything unfortunate happen during the ensuing struggle, we can’t be blamed."

"Oh? You’re that confident?" Xiao Yi cast a faint glance at the five, his tone carried a hint of playfulness.

Of course, there was also a trace of disdain.
