Capítulo 1568: Chapter 1539: You’re Not Qualified to Bargain with Me!

“Who’s there?”

Xiao Yi’s gaze was fixed on that void.

An invisible energy fluctuation instantaneously transformed into a sharp blade, which, with a loud crash, forcibly pierced through the void.

The entire void instantly collapsed.

Turning into a bottomless pit of oblivion.

A fierce space storm was raging all around, as if a prehistoric beast had opened its bloody maw and was devouring the surrounding void.

In the blink of an eye, this void had been swallowed for tens of thousands of kilometers.

“Boss, is there someone over there?” Little Lin looked at Xiao Yi in confusion.

The Ancient Sky-Devouring Dragon’s perception was also extremely keen.

He hadn’t detected anyone there!

Zhao Wudi frowned and said, “Xiao Yi, could you have been mistaken?”

He too hadn’t noticed anything peculiar.

Xiao Yi shook his head. He was now at the twentieth level of the Ultimate Holy King Realm and was fully confident that he was the top person just below the Saint Emperor.

Even so…

Even in the face of a true Saint Emperor Realm powerhouse, he could remain undefeated.

Just now, when Yama was about to reveal the secret of that battle years ago, he did indeed sense an exceedingly faint energy fluctuation emanate from that void.

But now, it seemed that void was entirely normal.

“Ah…”

Just then, Yama suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

When they turned to look back.

Everyone’s faces went through a dramatic transformation.

Yama’s head was already severed from his body, rolling on the ground, blood gushing wildly. His eyes were wide open, but he had already lost all signs of life.

Bear in mind…

A Saint King Realm powerhouse, no matter how severe their injuries, wouldn’t lose their life instantly.

Even a drop of blood could carry their consciousness.

But now.

He was beyond dead!

An honorable Saint King Realm powerhouse, killed right under their noses, with both body and consciousness eradicated in an instant.

This kind of method truly sent shivers down one’s spine.

Gulp!

Zhao Wudi swallowed hard, looking at the lifeless Yama. He felt his scalp tingle and scanned the surroundings vigilantly: “Just who is it?”

Little Lin’s face was grim, his divine sense sweeping around, maintaining constant vigilance on all changes around them, not missing a single movement: “Boss, what on earth is happening…”

Sigh!

Xiao Yi exhaled deeply, his expression extremely solemn, and said in a deep voice, “It seems someone doesn’t want us to know the secret behind that battle years ago!”

The person behind this could kill a Seventh Layer Saint King Realm expert in front of him without making a sound.

This clearly showed how terrifying the opponent’s strength was.

At least…

This stealthy method was something even the current Xiao Yi couldn’t match!

“What exactly happened back then?”

Little Lin murmured to himself, then looked up at Zhao Wudi and asked, “Zhao Wudi, wasn’t that battle initiated by your father, don’t you know any secrets about it?”

Everyone turned to look at Zhao Wudi.

He was, after all, Zhao Wuji’s son, and if anyone here would know about that battle, it would be him.

However…

Faced with Little Lin’s query, Zhao Wudi gave a wry smile, shrugged helplessly, and said, “Don’t look at me like that, the battle erupted very suddenly. Even people from our Martial Clan didn’t know the specifics of that battle…”

Everyone still kept their eyes on him.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

After all.

Zhao Wuji’s son, could he really know nothing about that earthshaking battle his father initiated?

Zhao Wudi said helplessly, “I’m not lying to you guys, when the battle broke out, I was just at the Sacred Venerate Realm. Besides, our eight clans of the Mysterious Realm always adhered to the principle of hiding to avoid calamity…”

Fang Tianchi nodded and said, “Leader Zhao isn’t lying… Back then, our clan’s ancestors predicted that Zhao Wuji would incite an astonishing war, possibly overthrowing the Hall of Longevity’s rule. To maintain peace in the Mysterious Realm, he leaked this to the Hall of Longevity, but they never took it seriously, even considering our Tiance Clan’s predictions as trivial, until the battle broke out with no prior preparations…”

The Tiance Clan had also feared Zhao Wuji would indeed oppose the Hall of Longevity, implicating the Mysterious Realm, so they leaked the information.

However, the Hall of Longevity paid no mind.

Still…

Since then, relations between the Martial Clan and the Tiance Clan fell to an all-time low.

Zhao Wudi snorted coldly, displeased by the Tiance Clan’s secret whistle-blowing back then: “How dare you speak? Your Tiance Clan prides itself on knowing destiny, foreseeing the future, yet never acts properly…”

Fang Tianchi gave a wry smile, not offering an explanation.

His ancestors back then were just trying to protect the Mysterious Realm.

Such matters can’t be judged simply as right or wrong, and debating it now is of no use.

“Enough!”

Xiao Yi interrupted their conversation, standing up from beside Yama, clapping his hands, and said calmly, “This Yama was poisoned with an extremely peculiar toxin that instantaneously wiped out the Primordial Spirit of a Saint King Realm expert, paralyzing his Sacred Body. In the shortest possible time, it quietly claimed his life, such a method is truly baffling…”

“Could such a deadly poison really exist in the world?” Little Lin’s face changed slightly.

This poison was simply unbeatable!

If someone used this poison against them, how would they counter it?

Xiao Yi said, “The poison is indeed formidable, but it isn’t without a countermeasure.”

“Huh?”

“Boss, have you thought of an antidote?”

“Alliance Hierarch, are you serious?”

Everyone wore expressions of surprise and doubt.

Xiao Yi nodded, gesturing for them to come closer, and in a lowered voice said, “The method to resolve this poison is rather simple, it just requires…”

Everyone listened intently.

As Xiao Yi was about to divulge the crucial part, suddenly, green vines shot out from his body.

The green vines moved at incredible speed.

With a whoosh.

The void was pierced through.

A muffled groan was heard from the void beside them, and they saw the green vines enwrap a figure, bringing it before them.

This figure was shrouded in black robes.

Short in stature.

Very slender.

At this moment, the figure glared at Xiao Yi with blood-red eyes, gritting their teeth: “You had no way to cure the poison, did you? You deliberately said that just to lure me out…”

Xiao Yi grinned, looking at the figure restrained by the vines from the Divine Sealing Tree, and spoke coldly, “Speak, who are you? Why did you kill Yama? Who is pulling your strings?”

Facing Xiao Yi’s barrage of questions.

The black-robed figure snorted coldly, a contemptuous gaze sweeping over Little Lin and the others, looking arrogantly at Xiao Yi: “Only you among them are worthy of knowing about our organization; as for the rest, they’re unqualified. Have them all step back, and I’ll tell you about myself…”

“Damn it…”

“How dare you insult us?” Little Lin and Zhao Wudi bristled.

They were the strongest in the Qingtian Realm besides Xiao Yi.

One was at the pinnacle of the Saint King.

The other could rival the Ninth Layer of the Saint King Realm as an ancient exotic species.

Yet this person claimed they weren’t even qualified to know his origins?

The insult was even greater than the injury!

Facing the haughty black-robed figure, Xiao Yi didn’t speak further, delivering a crisp slap across his face, coldly stating: “You have no right to negotiate with me! I give you two choices, either talk or die!”
