Chapter 396: Three Blood Intent Pills
"All the powers from a dozen cities nearby are all here, right?"
Xiao Yi coldly regarded the twenty-some Sect Leaders, feeling an increasing chill in his heart.
This proved that the disappearances hadn't been limited to just Spring Breeze City.
They were widespread across the surrounding dozen cities.
The severity of the situation surpassed his imagination by far.
"Young man, who exactly are you?" the Sect Leader of Xuanmu Sect demanded coldly.
"Can you withstand the fury of our twenty-plus powers here?"
It wasn't hard to imagine that Lianhua Sect was very important among this string of powers.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken just a few short days to draw these Sect Leaders here for a rescue.
Xiao Yi remained silent for the moment, believing that more would come.
Sure enough, after half a day, an elder controlling the air flew in.
This person's Cultivation was far beyond all the Sect Leaders present, actually at the Earth Origin Eighth Layer.
This was a quite powerful Martial Artist in the Late Earth Origin Realm.
He was much stronger than these twenty-plus Sect Leaders by no small margin.
The arrival of the elder instantly bolstered their confidence.
"Sect Leader Wuu, save us quickly," the Sect Leader of Xuanmu Sect and Divine Armor Sect said with wild joy, glaring at Xiao Yi with malice.
The elder nodded, his expression gravely turning to Xiao Yi.
"Your Excellency has openly detained the Sect Leaders of the various powers within ten thousand miles."
"Such boldness, such flagrancy, proves you are no good sort."
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency must be from the Star Alliance."
Fear was written all over the elder's face as he realized he couldn't see through the young man's Cultivation level in front of him.
"Star Alliance?" Xiao Yi frowned.
He had heard of the Star Alliance.
It was a major force on the side of the East Six Counties.
No, perhaps to say, it was not just one power.
It was an alliance formed by the union of dozens of powers.
Members of the Alliance, scattered throughout the Six Counties, had vast influence.
But their reputation was very poor.
They often attacked other powers attempting to grow through annexation.
Of course, the insider details were unknown to Xiao Yi.
After all, he had only been in Fierce Tiger County for a few days, and the powers here were so complicated that he only understood a general idea.
"I think the ones who are brazen and unrestrained are you," Xiao Yi said coldly, staring at the elder.
"I'm merely capturing these Sect Leaders, and yet I'm branded as no good sort."
"Yet you abduct Martial Artists in vast numbers, an egregious act, what does that make you?"
If he wasn't mistaken, this elder before him was the ringleader of these twenty-plus Sect Leaders.
"Hmm?" The elder's face grew more grave upon hearing this.
At that moment, the Sect Leader of Xuanmu Sect behind Xiao Yi spoke out loudly, "Sect Leader Wuu, this kid is investigating the disappearances."
"Oh?" The elder's expression changed, a bad premonition flashing through his mind.
"You people of the Star Alliance always act overbearingly, wantonly attacking other sects."
"We simply abduct some Martial Artists for another purpose, what right do you have to meddle in our affairs?"
Clearly, the elder was convinced that Xiao Yi belonged to the Star Alliance.
Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, "You abduct civilians and Martial Artists on a large scale to concoct Blood Intent Pills, that's called another purpose?"
As soon as Xiao Yi's words fell, the elder's face drastically changed.
The twenty-some Sect Leaders were also shocked, "What? Blood Intent Pills?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Such despicable Elixir Elixirs are strictly forbidden, who dares to concoct them with such extinguishing humanity?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi's brows furrowed tightly, "You don't know?"
The reaction of these Sect Leaders surprised him.
He remembered questioning Meng Luo and Meng Lianhua before.
Although the two were responsible for luring large numbers of Martial Artists out of the city, they did not know what those Martial Artists were being abducted for.
Xiao Yi looked at the elder, "Since they don't know, then you explain it."
Things were getting more complicated, and Xiao Yi couldn't be bothered to think further.
Everything, resolved by force.
"I don't know what you're talking about." A fleeting look in the elder's eyes passed by.
He then suddenly made his move.
"Your people from the Star Alliance have always been overbearing, and now you're slandering us like this."
"Let's see me take your life."
"Prohibit." Xiao Yi uttered a low shout as an overwhelming Prohibition instantly restrained the elder.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he pulled the elder towards him through the air.
"You either tell the truth, or you die," Xiao Yi said coldly, his arms crossed as he stared at the elder.
"I don't know." The elder shouted, then his aura erupted, followed by chaos.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi was startled.
The various Sect Leaders behind him also changed complexion, "This is bad, Sect Leader Wuu is about to self-destruct."
"The power of self-destruction from such a strong Martial Artist will be astounding."
"Kid, hurry and lift our Prohibition."
"We don't want to die alongside you."
The sudden self-destruction of an Eighth Layer Martial Artist was enough to annihilate everything within a thousand meters radius.
Boom! An explosion sounded, earth-shattering.
All the Sect Leaders instinctively saw a flash of white before their eyes and couldn't react in time.
By the time the white light dissipated and the roar faded,
Everyone was shocked to discover a barrier, firmly erected in front of them.
The explosion couldn't shake the barrier in the slightest.
And Xiao Yi, who was the closest to the elderly man and the explosion, was completely unharmed.
"How is this possible? The self-destruction of an Eighth Layer Martial Artist, and at such a close distance."
"Even the Ninth Layer would likely be seriously injured."
"What exactly is this young man's Cultivation?"
All the Sect Leaders looked at Xiao Yi with faces full of horror.
At this moment, Xiao Yi's face was extremely ugly.
He never imagined that the old man would self-destruct without warning.
He didn't even have time to ask a question.
"Who just self-destructed?" Xiao Yi looked at Meng Luo and Meng Lianhua and asked.
The two suppressed their astonishment and replied truthfully, "The Sect Leader of Warrior Sect."
"Warrior Sect?" Xiao Yi frowned.
This was the strongest sect in Spring Breeze City and the dozen nearby cities, and it had an excellent reputation.
"What's your relationship with him?" Xiao Yi asked again.
"He's somewhat our overseer." They answered truthfully.
"The Martial Artists captured by our various forces are ultimately sent to Warrior Sect."
Xiao Yi had already displayed overwhelming strength, which made these Sect Leaders lose the will to resist or lie.
"Lead the way," Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"Where to?" Meng Luo asked in confusion.
"To Warrior Sect." After Xiao Yi spoke, he waved his hand and wrapped the twenty-plus Sect Leaders in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, forcibly taking them away.
These people were still of use to Xiao Yi.
...
In a large city, several cities away from Spring Breeze City, there was a large mountain outside the city.
There stood the gates of Warrior Sect.
At the mountain gate, two gatekeeping disciples wore expressions of pride.
Warrior Sect was, after all, the strongest sect in the nearby dozen cities.
Their disciples were naturally proud and complacent.
However, Warrior Sect was now faced with a group of uninvited guests.
A young figure, along with more than twenty others, descended rapidly from the sky.
The two gatekeeping disciples quickly stepped forward to ask, "Who goes there? Who dares to trespass upon the mountain gate of Warrior Sect?"
The two disciples shouted boldly,
but when they saw the people approaching, they slightly relaxed their guard, "Hmm? All the Sect Leaders?"
"Wasn't it rumored that you were forcefully taken by the people of Star Alliance?"
"Our Sect Leader has already set out for the rescue..."
"Oh, surely our Sect Leader has taken action and has already rescued you."
"You Sect Leaders have come to express thanks, right?"
The disciples spoke proudly, oblivious to the ugly expressions on the Sect Leaders' faces.
Xiao Yi walked straight in.
The two disciples immediately stopped him, "Who are you?"
"Out of my way." Xiao Yi commanded in a low voice, directly sending the two disciples flying.
Just as he entered Warrior Sect, he saw a large number of Martial Artists and ordinary people being forcefully escorted.
The number was no less than a few thousand.
"Prohibition." Xiao Yi voiced in a low tone.
Several streaks of Sword Qi instantly killed a few Warrior Sect disciples and then transformed into a barrier to protect the thousands of people.
Xiao Yi's face was unsightly as he moved forward.
He hadn't long entered the back mountain of Warrior Sect when a overwhelming wave of Blood Qi enveloped him.
The source of the aura was a large mountain within the back mountain.
Xiao Yi forcefully blasted open a cave and dashed inside.
Inside the cave, what met his eyes was a scene of purgatory on Earth.
Nine thick chains tortured a large number of Martial Artists.
Beside them was a Blood Pool, and Warrior Sect disciples were continually pushing ordinary people into it.
The scene was exactly the same as that of Mountain God Sect.
What was more serious, above the altar, there were three eerie blood-red Elixirs.
Two of them were round and lustrous, already fully formed, the finished Blood Intent Pills.
One was mostly complete.
Xiao Yi's expression instantly turned icy cold to the extreme.
The astronomical amount of Essence Blood of Human Martial Artists needed to refine one Blood Intent Pill was staggering.
Three pills, one could imagine just how many lives this cave had claimed.
"You scum." Xiao Yi roared angrily.
Sword Qi filled the sky, sweeping across the entire cave.
...
