Chapter 1988: Chapter 1988: Unmovable Thunder Mountain
Dongfang Zi held the Token in her hand and lifted it arrogantly in front of her.
The meaning this Token represented was enough for her to stand tall anywhere on this continent and brandish it with pride.
Xiao Yi stared at the Token, and the next second, he shook his head.
"Colluding with Evil Cultivators, causing countless deaths in the Elephant Origin Region, plunging all living beings into misery."
"You Hidden Families might fancy yourselves superior, seeing all under heaven as ants."
"But this violates the iron rules of the Eight Palaces—it’s a capital crime."
"Today, don’t mention this worthless Token—even if the Asura Hall Master himself came in person, he still wouldn’t be able to save these three."
Worthless Token?
Hearing this, Dongfang Zi was first stunned, then her face changed. "What did you say?"
The dignified Asura Token, a worthless Token?
Xiao Yi’s figure had already moved. "I said, if you don’t step aside, I’ll kill you along with them."
Those indifferent eyes showed he was not joking.
In the air, an invisible surge of Soul Power had already burst forth.
"Be careful." Dongfang Zi’s expression changed.
Just the aura rushing toward them already made her heart tremble with fear.
But right at this moment—
"Quite the big tone."
In the air, a powerful fist suddenly blasted out.
Where the fist passed, the invisible Soul Power instantly shattered.
The palm strike Xiao Yi had launched slammed onto that sturdy fist and vanished like a stone sinking into the sea; instead, he himself was shocked back a full hundred steps.
"So strong." Xiao Yi stamped his foot and steadied his figure.
His cold eyes looked straight ahead, a hundred steps away.
There, at this moment, stood a burly middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a square face, a visage stern and imposing.
That steady, heavy aura, even from afar, was enough to make Xiao Yi’s heart quake in shock.
This man was definitely a veteran Legendary Expert.
Just his aura alone far surpassed the Four Great Elders of Mirror Flower Water Moon that he had fought before.
Xiao Yi recognized this man.
"Unmovable Thunder Mountain, Hall Master Lei Xiao." Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed.
"Oh? You recognize me?" The middle-aged man—Lei Xiao—let out a slight sound of surprise, his steady gaze fixed on Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi said nothing.
This middle-aged man, of course he recognized.
He was the Secluded Palace Master within the Asura Hall Main Hall, and one of the Legendary Palace Masters who had made his name countless years ago.
Though his fame was not as great as that of the Legendary Palace Master Changtian Wine Demon—
The deeds of Hall Master Lei Xiao were just as astonishing, his reputation just as fearsome.
Rumor had it that many years ago, on the summit of the Thunder Summoning Sacred Mountain, he had forcibly endured eighty thousand bolts of Heavenly Thunder.
No one knew how strong those Heavenly Thunders truly were.
But according to those experts lucky enough to witness it back then, just a wisp of that thunder’s aura was enough to turn a Legendary Expert to ash.
Yet Hall Master Lei Xiao stood within it without the slightest movement; in the end he endured eighty thousand Heavenly Thunders and walked out without the least injury.
The name Unmovable Thunder Mountain came from that moment.
Xiao Yi had only seen this man once or twice and knew he was one of the few Extreme Body Cultivators within the Main Hall.
In terms of strength, this man was even far above the Hengtian Palace Master.
However, this man had always been stern, not one for idle chatter, spending years in seclusion.
So Xiao Yi had never spoken with him.
He hadn’t expected to meet him today in the Snake Origin Territory.
And it was obvious that Hall Master Lei Xiao was here to protect this group—not exactly; more accurately, he was here to protect Dongfang Zi.
"Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, still going to block us?" At this moment, Dongfang Zi smiled in triumph.
"Will you sell Unmovable Thunder Mountain some face?"
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, but his Poison Power had already been withdrawn.
Seeing this, Dongfang Zi shrugged and smiled.
Mengg Tian and the others sneered. "You say you won’t sell that face, yet you’ve already withdrawn your Poison Power and aura."
"Afraid is afraid, just admit it. What, can’t bear to lose face?"
Yun Fei’er said arrogantly, "Wasn’t Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun so rampant just now? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t give face to anyone?"
"Now you know fear?"
"Hmph, a worthless Token?" The Xu Family Young Master sneered. "To spout such arrogant words, you really don’t know how high the sky is. Now that you’ve drawn Hall Master Lei Xiao out, you’re struck dumb, aren’t you?"
A chorus of mocking words, peals of triumphant laughter.
Xiao Yi ignored them, simply turned around and left.
He had barely taken a few steps when his stride suddenly halted. He slowly turned his head back and looked straight at Lei Xiao.
As for Dongfang Zi and the others, he had already dismissed them from his mind.
"I’m leaving today because I can’t beat you."
"But for what happened today, I will definitely come to you for an explanation."
"Hahaha..." Mengg Tian laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Come to Hall Master Lei Xiao for an explanation? Xiao Xun, your arrogance really knows no bounds."
Yun Fei’er scoffed, "Who do you think you are? You dare to spit out such ruthless words with just that little bit of strength?"
"Let me tell you, Sister Dongfang Zi is a junior the Asura Hall Master is extremely fond of and values greatly. Is she someone you can provoke?"
"Hall Master Lei Xiao not killing you on the spot is already mercy, and you still dare speak so rudely?"
The Xu Family Young Master sneered, "Ants are ants; all they know is how to bluster with big talk."
Only Lei Xiao frowned slightly, his steady eyes fixed on Xiao Yi.
For some reason, he kept feeling that this figure looked somewhat familiar.
After a long moment, Lei Xiao shook his head. In those always steady and imposing eyes, a trace of disappointment actually appeared.
"If you were that kid, whatever explanation you wanted, I’d help you seek it."
"Unfortunately, you’re not."
Lei Xiao only muttered to himself once.
Xiao Yi’s figure had already gone far away.
On the spot.
Lei Xiao’s expression returned to normal as he looked at Dongfang Zi. "Girl Dongfang, let’s go."
"Yes, Hall Master Lei Xiao." Dongfang Zi nodded, then looked at the three—Mengg Tian and the others.
"You three come with me as well."
"With that grand event imminent, I’ll temporarily protect you three today."
"But remember, never again do something so heaven-enraging as you did today."
"Especially with Evil Cultivators—they are not good people. To conspire with tigers will only bring disaster upon yourselves."
"Got it." The three listened to Dongfang Zi’s words and answered with a bland tone.
"Sister Dongfang Zi, let’s hurry." Yun Fei’er laughed. "I want to see Sister Zhi as soon as possible..."
...
Xiao Yi had already left.
He was far from being a match for Hall Master Lei Xiao. Staying would be useless; he could only leave.
As for that Asura Token—
As far as he knew, within the Asura Main Hall there were two General Orders and one Vice Order.
The Vice Order was something the Hall Master of the Main Hall entrusted to the next successor.
As for the General Orders, one was placed in the Main Hall, and one was carried personally by the Hall Master of the Main Hall.
The Token Dongfang Zi had just revealed should be the one the Hall Master of the Main Hall carried on his person.
This proved that Dongfang Zi and the Hall Master of the Main Hall had an unusually close relationship.
Xiao Yi shrugged and did not think further, then Controlling the air, rose into the high sky.
There, a group of the Law Enforcement Team was still waiting.
As for that Xu Family Elder, he had already been taken away by Hall Master Lei Xiao.
"Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, how did it go?" the Law Enforcement Team asked in quick succession.
Xiao Yi nodded. "The Snake Origin Territory is no longer in danger; there’s no need to worry."
"Then what about that group of fiends?" the Law Enforcement Team asked.
"They escaped." Xiao Yi shook his head.
