Chapter 1823: Chapter 1823: I Also Give You Two Choices

All around, the martial artists of various first-class forces had already completely withdrawn.

However, quite a few forces remained.

Such as the martial artists from the Eighteen Mansions, Dongli Sword Palace, Black Cloud Academy team, and the teams from the Five Great Academies.

"You are choosing not to leave?" The four elders glanced at the elders of the Eighteen Mansions.

Strong as the elders of the Eighteen Mansions may be, under this cold gaze, their bodies trembled.

"No, no, no, please calm down, we will leave immediately." Elder Arrow Star hurriedly said, guarding Lingg Hong as they swiftly retreated.

The forces of Blood Light Mansion, Dominating Star Mansion, Medicine Star Mansion, Seven Star Mansion, and others from the Eighteen Mansions withdrew one by one.

In just a moment, of the Eighteen Mansions, only the teams from Ye Saint Mansion, Heavenly Spear Mansion, Heavenly Star Mansion, and Heavenly Rope Mansion remained.

"Young Master."

The elders of the four mansions looked at Ye Liu and others with ugly expressions.

Ye Liu coldly gazed at the elder of Ye Saint Mansion; his meaning was clear.

Guu Lianxing only looked at Ye Liu; since Ye Liu didn’t leave, naturally, she wouldn’t leave either.

There was no need to mention Gongsun Huowu.

As for Ran Qi, she had already condensed her Thunder Spear, "There’s no cowards in my Heavenly Spear Mansion."

"Those afraid can leave first."

"Young Master," the elder of Heavenly Spear Mansion said with a difficult expression, "You have no deep connections with Vice Master Xiao Yi, why get involved?"

"That’s different." Ran Qi shook her head.

"The matters of that kid Xiao Yi have nothing to do with me."

"But that doesn’t mean others can threaten me into leaving disgracefully."

On the side of the Five Great Academies, Guu Feifan and others coldly stared at the four elders.

"Holy Moon Sect, I don’t care who you are."

"Daring to kill our Academy elders, we will not let this matter rest."

Evidently, Guu Feifan and others had identified those ten Peak of Supreme assassins as people of the Holy Moon Sect.

However, it could also be seen from these words that Guu Feifan and the chiefs of the Five Great Academies clearly had no knowledge of who the Holy Moon Sect was.

"Eighteen Mansions and Five Great Academies?" One of the elders scoffed.

A wave of Primordial Power surged in his hand, forming into a shape resembling a full moon.

Just then, the older one among the four shook his head.

"Killing one is killing, killing them all is also killing, don’t waste time and energy."

"Indeed," the younger one sneered, "if they don’t leave, they will all be killed."

At this moment, the four turned their gaze towards Xiao Yi.

The older one took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Xiao Yi.

"Vice Master Xiao Yi, though it’s our first meeting."

"This old man, Elder Jingz Yue, pays my respects."

The elder cupped his hands, but his tone was indifferent to the extreme.

"Jingz Yue?" Xiao Yi slightly frowned and returned the gesture.

Unexpectedly, Elder Jingz Yue suddenly dropped his hands, ignoring Xiao Yi’s return gesture.

"I give you my name just so your death won’t be unexplained."

"Since you could sense our presence earlier, you should know we’ve seen everything."

"Honestly, your excellence far exceeded my expectations before coming."

"Young and able to break the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, your Body Cultivation and Martial Arts Cultivation have reached Peak of Supreme."

"Such excellence is truly astonishing."

The other three elders nodded.

"Indeed, he is excellent."

"This proves that the Holy Daughter indeed has a good eye."

"Such an outstanding talent, a supreme monster, no wonder the Holy Daughter favored him and ignored other young men."

"Regrettably," another elder shook his head, "excellent yet not enough."

"Right, not enough, or we wouldn’t have needed to come here."

Upon these words, Xiao Yi’s face darkened.

As did the expressions of Chengfeng Hall Master and Hengtian Palace Master.

The words of the four elders from Holy Moon Sect were all too clear.

They acknowledged Xiao Yi’s excellence.

But his excellence was still insufficient, not enough for Holy Moon Sect to recognize him.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have bothered coming.

"Such arrogance," said Hengtian Palace Master, eyes narrowed.

"The successors of Asura Hall and Wind Shattering Hall aren’t excellent enough?"

"Could it be your Holy Moon Sect’s rubbish pile of talents is better?"

As he spoke, Hengtian Palace Master glanced at Xiao Yi, smirked, and continued, "Though I hear your Holy Daughter is decent."

"But still pales in comparison to young Xiao Yi."

No one who remained here was foolish; they were all extremely intelligent.

Be it Ye Liu, Guu Lianxing, Ao Donglou, or Guu Feifan, the Heavenly Talents, or Chengfeng and Hengtian Palace Masters, all were clever.

Naturally, upon hearing the elders’ words, everyone understood their motive.

Clearly, the Holy Daughter of Holy Moon Sect had an unusual relationship with Xiao Yi.

And now, the four elders had come to cause trouble.

Elsewhere, Ye Liu shook his head, his face suddenly realizing, "No wonder when I brought up the Holy Daughter of Holy Moon Sect back then, Brother Xiao Yi showed that expression."

"Seems Brother Xiao Yi has been waiting for her."

"Holy Moon Sect," Chengfeng Hall Master calmly said, "With me and the old fool Hengtian here, you might as well abandon your plans."

Elder Jingz Yue shook his head, ignoring Chengfeng Hall Master and the others, focusing on Xiao Yi.

"I give you two options."

"One, destroy your cultivation now, break an arm and a leg."

"Two, we kill you here and now, and the name Xiao Yi ceases to exist."

Elder Jingz Yue offered two choices.

But these options clearly carried a threatening sense, aiming to eliminate completely.

"Ha, choices again?" Xiao Yi smiled coldly.

Previously, those ten Peak of Supreme assassins only offered the option of sealing cultivation.

Now Elder Jingz Yue demands destruction and mutilation.

Clearly, Elder Jingz Yue was more tyrannical.

Also affirming those ten individuals had no link to Holy Moon Sect.

"Perhaps I should offer you two choices as well."

"Leave now, I’ll pretend I didn’t see you."

"Or you need not return to Holy Moon Sect, just stay here."

Xiao Yi’s lips curled into a grim smile.

As always, he wouldn’t be polite to those who wish to kill him.

Those wanting to kill him should be prepared for him to retaliate.

"Arrogant brat," Elder Jingz Yue squinted.

Xiao Yi’s meaning was clear: they wouldn’t return alive to Holy Moon Sect but would rest eternally here.

The surrounding aura, previously subtle, suddenly turned overwhelmingly fierce.

Chengfeng Hall Master and others stepped forward, blocking the intense auras.

"Holy Moon Sect, what are you plotting?"

"Do you wish to wage war against Asura and Wind Shattering Two Halls?"

...

Second update.
