Chapter 1999: The Three Hall Masters
Chapter 1999: Chapter 1999: The Three Hall Masters
"Xiao Xun, don’t think your identity as the Ghost Hunting King is anything special."
The elder cast a cold glance at Xiao Yi.
Then, without hesitation, he turned around and led his people away.
When Xiao Yi uttered those four words, ’So what if it is?’, the elder knew that Xiao Xun would inevitably interfere in the matter between the Cold Evil Sect and Ghost Leaf Hall.
In the face of an absolute power gap, they stood no chance and were certainly not opponents.
Therefore, the elder said no more and directly led his men away.
Xiao Yi glanced at Fang Shushu and Yue Tian, shaking his head.
Both of these individuals were injured.
"I’ll take you back to the Ghost Leaf Hall."
...
Guisha City, vast in scope, is several dozen times larger than other major cities.
Here, various forces also exist.
The One Sect and Three Halls are the strongest in Guisha City, aside from the Guisha City Lord Mansion.
Inside Ghost Leaf Hall.
"Hall Master."
Martial artists of Ghost Leaf Hall looked at Fang Shushu and Yue Tian with worry.
"I’m fine, step back." Fang Shushu’s face was somewhat pale, waving his hand.
Upon arriving at the back hall.
Fang Shushu and Yue Tian consumed Elixirs, sat cross-legged, and began recovering from their injuries.
A full two hours later, their faces returned to normal.
Xiao Yi looked at the two and said in a somber tone, "Guisha City is ultimately not an ordinary place."
"If you want to train, other places could be sought."
Fang Shushu smiled and shook his head, "In this Central Region, nowhere is more dangerous than Guisha City."
"The more dangerous the place, the better the training effects."
"We ordinary martial artists are unlike the Hidden Families’ descendants who inherit treasure lands from birth. Those Outer Worlds, even ordinary cultivation there, are better than our training results."
"If we don’t strive harder, we might not even qualify to participate in that grand event."
Xiao Yi, having read Fang Shushu’s Martial Soul Book, naturally knew what that grand event was.
It was the event the Heavenly Mechanism Palace Master mentioned days ago, organized by the Holy Moon Sect.
That event, apart from the participation of various hidden forces from all over the continent, only those forces in the Central Region that truly stand out can join.
The Five Great Academy is among them.
While others, including the Eighteen Mansions and Dongli Sword Palace, do not qualify to participate.
Xiao Yi looked at their determined faces, frowning slightly.
Guisha City’s danger level far surpasses that of ordinary places.
With these two’s strength, it is simply extremely perilous here.
Bang... Bang...
Suddenly, two figures pushed open the door and stormed in.
They were two middle-aged men.
One, with a sturdy physique, was the Ghost Tiger Hall Master.
The other, lean and sharp-eyed, was the Ghost Leopard Hall Master.
"Third brother, are you seriously hurt?" The Ghost Tiger Hall Master asked urgently upon entering.
"I heard that bunch from Cold Evil Sect attacked you today and even brought out a Legendary elder."
The Ghost Leopard Hall Master showed anger, "That bunch of trash, I’ll get them back a hundredfold sooner or later."
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I’m fine." Fang Shushu nodded and smiled.
Xiao Yi glanced at the two.
The Ghost Leopard Hall Master is a strong contender with Thirty Thousand Dao.
While the Ghost Tiger Hall Master has reached Forty Thousand Dao, comparable to Tu Qianqiu.
Xiao Yi had long felt that the depth of the waters here in the Central Region was beyond imagination.
The things seen and heard these days, especially the numerous Legendary experts encountered in Guisha City, confirmed his earlier thoughts.
In fact, it makes sense. Although Legendary Realm is difficult to achieve, with a vast Central Region and countless billions of lives over long years, not a few Legendary Martial Artists are bound to emerge.
It’s just likely that this process requires considerable time and a lengthy transition period.
Often, such periods can last ten thousand or several tens of thousands of years.
A Martial Artist in the Supreme Realm or above generally has no problem living for a thousand years unless affected by external forces.
Back when in the Eastern Domain, possessing even an incomplete Heaven and Earth Martial Arts was enough to extend a Martial Artist’s life by hundreds of years.
Those in the Supreme Realm, with 9990 complete Martial Arts, naturally have very long lifespans.
Those possessing Supreme 9999 Dao have even greater longevity; entering the Supreme Realm increases each additional complete Martial Art significantly.
Given enough time, stepping into Legend might not be impossible, even if it’s a small possibility and highly challenging.
However, some martial artists are fortunate, suddenly realizing and breaking through before reaching life’s end; others might face their life’s end without breaking through, succumbing to death.
Of course, most belong to the latter group, succumbing to death.
There might not be many Martial Artists above Legendary Realm, but they aren’t necessarily rare either, at least not extremely rare.
Especially within major forces that have inherited countless years, their numbers wouldn’t be few.
Indeed, Legendary Martial Artists tend to be elusive.
Martial Artists of inadequate levels generally cannot know too much about their existence.
Take Guisha City, for example, which holds dozens of Legendary Martial Artists.
However, most have hidden their true identities, living as Ghost Hunters or under pseudonyms.
Most reside at the One Thousand or Two Thousand Dao levels.
Legendary experts with Three Thousand Dao even in Guisha City are overlords, like the Ghost Leopard Hall Master.
According to what he knows, within the Legendary Realm, the Martial Arts Bottleneck is truly daunting.
Many old monsters remain trapped by their bottleneck for countless years, unable to break through their entire lives as they wait for their end.
Breaking through the Three Thousand Dao boundary to enter the Mid-stage Legend might only be achieved by martial artists of hidden forces existing since ancient times.
Even if possible, it likely takes tens of thousands of years or even longer.
Another point, if his guess is correct, Guisha City has gathered many Peak Supreme Martial Artists and Legendary experts of One or Two Thousand Dao.
And those legendary Supreme Realm Martial Artists vanishing for over a thousand years in the Central Region.
Their purpose should be aiming for the Heartless Inn Master.
In other words, the large number of Legendary Martial Artists here in Guisha City should relate to the mysterious Heartless Inn Master who has stayed here for over a million years.
"Is this the famous Black Robe Xiao Xun?" The Ghost Tiger Hall Master and Ghost Leopard Hall Master simultaneously looked at Xiao Yi.
"That’s correct, this senior... no..." Yue Tian chuckled and said, "This is Brother Xiao."
Throughout Guisha City, mysterious black-robed martial artists are numerous.
No wonder Yue Tian mistook him for a senior earlier.
Of course, Yue Tian now knows he is a Supreme Monster close to his age.
What he could not imagine is that the black-robed person he calls ’Brother Xiao’ should potentially be addressed as ’Domain Master.’
Xiao Yi looked at the two, nodded as a greeting.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Suddenly, outside Ghost Leaf Hall, surging auras appeared.
Wave upon wave of overwhelming presence slammed down.
The entire Ghost Leaf Hall shook incessantly, like an earth-shattering event.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi, Ghost Tiger Hall Master, and Ghost Leopard Hall Master frowned simultaneously, flashing out.
Outside Ghost Leaf Hall.
Ghost Hunters had surrounded the area.
The numbers were over several thousand.
"Who dares act presumptuously at Ghost Leaf Hall?" The two Hall Masters roared angrily.
"Ghost Tiger Hall Master, Ghost Leopard Hall Master." Surrounding Ghost Hunters exuded killing intent.
"Your Three Halls are now wanted across Guisha City."
"Facing death, still arrogant?"
...
