Soul Emperor Martial God

In fact, Xiao Yi was confident he could directly sneak in with Qing Lin.

However, for the sake of caution, it was better to knock out these two guards directly.

Otherwise, if these two guards noticed something, it would be even more troublesome then.

Additionally, the reason the Black Poison Pond is located in the depths of the villa is because this Black Poison Pond is one of the villa's forbidden lands.

Normally, even a deacon is not allowed to approach or enter.

Only elders and above have the authority to enter.

Simply put, although there are guards here year-round, almost no one approaches this place.

The two guards have been knocked unconscious and are now restrained in place, so even if other Mountain Villa Martial Artists pass by, they would only glance without noticing anything unusual.

At this moment, Xiao Yi and Qing Lin entered the secret chamber.

The first thing they saw was a giant pool with black vapor wafting over it.

"Black Poison Pond," Qing Lin's face lit up with joy.

"Don't move yet," Xiao Yi hurriedly called out.

"Hmm?" Qing Lin halted his steps, first confused, then frowned.

"It's a formation."

"There's a formation wrapped around to block the Black Poison Pond."

Qing Lin's expression turned grim, "A formation from Black Poison Villa, and it's set up in an important place like the Black Poison Pond."

"This formation likely has more than just a blocking effect."

"If we force our way through, it will definitely alert strong figures in the villa."

Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "I've already broken this formation."

While speaking, Xiao Yi shouted in a low voice, "Break."

The formation before them dissipated with ease.

"Hiss." Qing Lin gasped, "Xiao Yi, last time you told me you only knew a little about formations."

"Now, just this skill alone could make you famous in the Black Cloud Region, right?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "When I infiltrated here before, I studied this formation, which took me quite some time."

"Now it's naturally easy to break."

In fact, with Xiao Yi's stealth skills, unless it was a strong figure above the level of the Black Poison Saint King, it was nearly impossible to detect him.

Therefore, when he previously infiltrated Black Poison Villa, it was actually very easy.

The reason it took more than four hours was because much of that time was spent studying this formation in front of him.

This formation is indeed extremely strong.

It not only has the effect of blocking and trapping enemies, but also includes prohibitions.

If outsiders intrude, they'll not only be obstructed by the formation, but also trapped by it.

Inside the villa, they would immediately know of any disruption in the formation.

However, even such a formation was broken by Xiao Yi.

Although the formation is strong, Xiao Yi's formation knowledge from the Ice Venerate Token was not obtained in vain.

The two of them crossed the formation, and just at this moment, there were several rustling sounds behind them.

The formation re-condensed, with ripples surging across the formation barrier, eventually returning to normal.

"Pff." Suddenly, Qing Lin spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi's face changed, "My Elixir Elixir's suppression failed, quickly enter the Black Poison Pond."

...

Elsewhere within the villa.

In the grand hall of the villa, Martial Artists with powerful auras sat on two sides.

On the chief seat was an old man with a profound aura.

In the open space between the two sides, a Disciple stood waiting with a respectful expression.

"Why did the Vice Manor Master suddenly summon us here?" The Martial Artists on the two sides looked questioningly at the old man on the chief seat.

Indeed, the old man sitting on the chief seat was the Vice Manor Master of Black Poison Villa, second only to the Black Poison Saint King.

Around him were the elders of Black Poison Villa.

The old man, the Vice Manor Master, spoke in a deep voice, "The Manor Master, Second Elder, and Third Elder, were summoned urgently by the Heavenly King Mountain Master to Heavenly King Mountain."

"We strong figures are here to guard the villa."

"Now that the Manor Master is away, yet sent a message back, it might be an important matter, so I gathered all the elders to the hall for a discussion."

"The Manor Master sent a message?" The surrounding Martial Artists were startled, all turning their gaze towards the Disciple.

"What's the matter, quickly report it?"

"Yes." The Disciple respectfully took out a letter and a Jade Pendant.

"Several hours ago, the Manor Master, Second Elder, and Third Elder encountered the fugitives Xiao Yi and Qing Lin on their way to Heavenly King Mountain."

"However, these two managed to escape by sheer luck."

"Escape?" The surrounding strong figures exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible? If I remember correctly, these two fugitives are just young punks."

"Could they escape from the Manor Master and the Second and Third Elders?"

"Not necessarily." The Vice Manor Master shook his head, "Although Black Cloud Academy has a notorious reputation, the Disciples within it do have some skills."

"Black Cloud Academy is ranked 12th among all academies in the Central Region, it's no undeserved reputation."

"And then?" After speaking, the Vice Manor Master looked to the Disciple, "Did the Manor Master instruct us to hunt them down?"

"Reporting to the Vice Manor Master, yes." The Disciple replied respectfully, "These two killed the deacon holding the Heavenly King Mountain Order, which is akin to provoking Heavenly King Mountain."

"Heavenly King Mountain is furious and has issued a death order for these two."

"The Manor Master sent a message back that the two were already heavily injured."

"That Xiao Yi, only a Heavenly Extreme Realm, must be seriously injured; while Qing Lin, though at the Saint King Realm, is not far from death."

The Vice Manor Master heard this and lightly frowned, "But Black Cloud Region is so vast, even if these two are heavily injured, how will we pursue them?"

He said this, then opened the letter, looked at it, and then at the Jade Pendant, nodding his head.

"I see." The Vice Manor Master's eyebrows relaxed into a smile.

"That Qing Lin is already afflicted by the Manor Master's Black Poison Piercing, thus he is not far from death."

"The aura of the Black Poison will linger in his body, making him constantly suffer until he dies painfully."

"And this Jade Pendant." The Vice Manor Master placed the Jade Pendant in his palm, "The Jade Pendant has the aura and prohibition of the Manor Master."

"The Jade Pendant will guide us to track the two due to the black poison aura in Qing Lin's body."

"I see, the Manor Master is indeed clever." The surrounding strong figures laughed heartily.

"Heh." The Vice Manor Master also smiled and shook his head, "I thought the message from the Manor Master was about something important."

"Unexpectedly, it was just to hunt down two heavily injured youngsters, suddenly gathering everyone was rather a fuss…"

As the Vice Manor Master said this.

Suddenly, the Jade Pendant glowed brightly.

The surrounding strong figures curiously asked, "Vice Manor Master, what does it mean when the Jade Pendant glows brightly?"

"Hmm?" The Vice Manor Master frowned at the Jade Pendant, "The glowing of the Jade Pendant means we've found the trail of Xiao Yi and Qing Lin, these two youngsters."

"The brighter the glow, the closer the distance."

"Such brightness means…" The Vice Manor Master's eyes suddenly widened, "It means these two are less than a few thousand meters away from us."

"What?" The surrounding strong figures cried out in shock, "Less than a few thousand meters, doesn't that mean these two are inside the villa?"

"Could it be…" The Vice Manor Master seemed to think of something, "Those two youngsters, how audacious, quickly follow me."

Whoosh… The Vice Manor Master flashed away from the spot.

The group of strong figures also swiftly followed suit.
