Chapter 405: Donglai County Sect Leader
Xiao Yi did not head to the Prince Mansion.
Instead, he took three Captains and three hundred Flame Martial Guards and went straight to Donglai County.
Those from the Thousand Heroes Sect who had been captured by him were all Eighth Layer Martial Artists.
That is to say, those people were all one of the big figures in the Thousand Heroes Sect.
They were also extremely strong combatants.
It was impossible for the Commandery Princes of several counties to keep them in the Prince Mansion.
They must have returned to the Thousand Heroes Sect.
Without any accidents, it wouldn't be long before the Thousand Heroes Sect would wage war against the Star Alliance again.
Of course, Xiao Yi wasn't interested in meddling in these disputes and battles.
But he had to capture the people from the Thousand Heroes Sect.
The matter of the Saint Child and the Blood Intent Pill, the people from the Thousand Heroes Sect would know more.
From Fierce Tiger County to Donglai County, they crossed four counties.
When passing through Black Tiger County, Vice Commander Xu also provided assistance.
He also summoned three Captains and three hundred Flame Martial Guards.
Two and a half days later, Xiao Yi and his group arrived near the Thousand Heroes Sect.
"Vice Commander, we're half a mile away from the Thousand Heroes Sect," a Captain reported.
Xiao Yi nodded and ordered, "Surround the Thousand Heroes Sect."
"Not a single person from the Thousand Heroes Sect shall escape."
"Leave three Captains here; the rest will come with me."
"Yes, Vice Commander," the Flame Martial Guards responded in unison.
Leaving six hundred Flame Martial Guards and three Captains behind,
Xiao Yi took three Captains and headed for the Thousand Heroes Sect.
In front of the Thousand Heroes Sect, two gatekeeping Deacons immediately stopped Xiao Yi and the other three.
"Who goes there?"
"The gate of the Thousand Heroes Sect is forbidden to be trespassed."
Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh, "Forbidden to trespass? Are there a lot of dealings inside that can't withstand the light of day?"
"How dare you!" The two gatekeeping Deacons became infuriated immediately, "You dare slander our Thousand Heroes Sect? You're tired of living."
The two Deacons were about to make a move.
"How insolent," the three Captains snorted coldly.
One of the Captains acted in an instant, taking down the two men.
The three Captains Xiao Yi had brought were elite Captains from Fierce Tiger County's stronghold, all with Eighth Layer Cultivation.
The Flame Martial Guards were all elite, not comparable to the common Martial Artists out there.
And these two gatekeeping Deacons, having only Mystic Breakthrough Cultivation, were naturally taken down in a flash.
Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, walking calmly into the Thousand Heroes Sect.
Along the way, many disciples of the Sect attempted to stop him.
Of course, they were taken down by the three Captains before they could even get close to Xiao Yi.
In just a few minutes.
The disciples and Deacons of the Thousand Heroes Sect were bound, amounting to hundreds of people.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the Sect's big shots.
"Who are you?" The Sect Leader of the Thousand Heroes Sect stared coldly at Xiao Yi.
"You wounded my Thousand Heroes Sect's gatekeeping Deacons."
"And you're tying up people recklessly in my Thousand Heroes Sect; do you understand the consequences?"
Xiao Yi replied coolly, "The Flame Martial Guards, we are here on orders to capture someone."
"Flame Martial Guards?" The Sect Leader's face changed.
"I don't know who you've come to my Thousand Heroes Sect to capture?"
"Escapees," Xiao Yi said coldly.
"Ridiculous," the Sect Leader retorted coldly, "How would there be escapees in my Thousand Heroes Sect."
Xiao Yi sneered, "Whether there are or not, I'll know after a search."
The Sect Leader's face turned angry and said, "In my Thousand Heroes Sect, there are many important places."
"It's impossible for you to search at will."
Xiao Yi laughed coldly and replied, "Then the Sect Leader of the Thousand Heroes Sect is welcome to stop me."
"But I'll tell you this, if anyone dares to obstruct the Flame Martial Guards, it's regarded as rebellion."
"Just now the Sect Leader asked if I knew the consequences."
"I would like to ask the Sect Leader, do you understand the consequences of stopping me?"
"You…" The Sect Leader's face grew even more furious.
At that moment, within the Thousand Heroes Sect, several figures flew through the air.
A young man and an elderly person.
As soon as the elder landed, he displayed an arrogant demeanor and disdainfully glanced at Xiao Yi.
"Rebellion? A mere brat dares to use such words to pressure others?"
"You, which Flame Martial Guard outpost do you belong to, and what is your rank?"
"Thousand Heroes Sect is the foremost righteous sect among the East Six Counties."
"Even as a Flame Martial Guard, you have no right to search arbitrarily."
"Boy, immediately make amends to the Thousand Heroes Sect Leader, and then get out of Thousand Heroes Sect."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for tying you up and taking you to the Flame Martial Guard outpost to face charges."
"Who are you?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
"Easy to say." The elder arrogantly stated, "Fang Lai, Sect Leader of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in Donglai County."
"Hmph, talking to you is pointless."
"When I became famous, a greenhorn like you wasn't even born."
"Did you listen clearly to what I just said?"
"If you don't apologize, I'll tie you up and take you to the Flame Martial Guard outpost, and even your Vice Commander won't be able to save you."
"Heh, is that so?" Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh.
At that moment, the young man next to Fang Lai looked strangely.
"Xiao Yi, how come you are here?" That young man was Lingg Yu.
"Hmm?" Fang Lai looked at Lingg Yu with confusion, "What? Lingg Yu, you know this kid?"
Lingg Yu nodded, "He is a disciple of our Sword Sect."
"Oh? So he's also a disciple of the Sword Sect." Fang Lai's arrogance on his face eased a little.
"Since he is a disciple of the Sword Sect, he should know what manners are."
"Which elder's disciple are you?"
"What? Think that being a Flame Martial Guard means you can disrespect your elders and arrest people at will?"
"I dare say I have quite a few elder friends in the Sword Sect."
"It seems that next time I return to the Sword Sect, I should inquire which elder's unruly disciple you are."
Xiao Yi did not take Fang Lai's words to heart.
Instead, he looked at Lingg Yu and asked, "Lingg Yu, how come even you are here?"
"As far as I know, disciples of our sect normally don't come to such a remote place as the East Six Counties for experience."
After pondering for a moment, Lingg Yu answered, "The sect sent me here, so I came."
"Is there a problem?"
Xiao Yi spoke sternly, "You came because you were ordered to, but why did you intervene in the great battle between Thousand Heroes Sect and the Star Alliance?"
Lingg Yu thought once more, then said, "Several elders in the sect have relations with Thousand Heroes Sect."
"I just lent a hand where I could."
"Besides, for a force like the Star Alliance, which everyone condemns and that brings trouble everywhere, is there a problem with me dealing with them?"
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"But based on what I know about you, you're stubborn and wouldn't usually get involved in disputes between forces."
"I was simply puzzled and decided to ask."
"What do you mean by 'stubborn'?" Lingg Yu frowned.
Xiao Yi shrugged, "It means someone who's so clueless that they could be sold without even realizing it."
"Enough, step aside, don't interfere with my work."
Fang Lai next to him became even angrier, "You impudent boy, which elder's disciple are you?"
"Lingg Yu is the Chief of the Sword Hall; when did it become your place to order him around?"
"If you continue to be disrespectful and disregard your elders, don't blame me for capturing you right now and taking you back to the Flame Martial Guard to face the consequences."
"Heh." Xiao Yi laughed coldly.
"I am the Vice Commander of Flame Martial Guards. If Sect Leader Fang Lai wants to charge me,"
"you may go to the Royal Capital headquarters and invite the five True Commanders."
"Now, you step aside as well."
"Otherwise, when this young pup takes action later and injures your old bones, don't blame me for disrespecting my elders."
"You're being presumptuous..." Fang Lai was furious and about to take action.
But he saw Xiao Yi holding a Token in his hand; it was the Sword Master Token.
"Northern Mountain Sword Master?" Fang Lai was shocked, as if recalling something, and exclaimed in horror, "Xiao Yi... your name is Xiao Yi."
"You are the Strongest Sword Master of this generation of the Sword Sect."
Shocked upon seeing Xiao Yi, Fang Lai quickly stepped aside.
The Strongest Sword Master had limited power within the sect.
But outside, he could command the Thirty-Six Sword Sects.
All members of the Thirty-Six Sky-splitting Sword Sects, from the Sect Leaders to the common disciples, must cooperate unconditionally.
"Humph." At this moment, the Thousand Heroes Sect Leader let out a cold snort.
"So what if you're the Vice Commander of Flame Martial Guards? So what if you're the Strongest Sword Master?"
"For no reason, why come to Thousand Heroes Sect and search as you please?"
Xiao Yi's expression turned cold, "For your harboring of fugitives, for your kidnapping people all over the East Six Counties."
"For your rampant production of Blood Intent Pills over the past dozen years."
"Any single one of these accusations, and I could kill you on the spot."
"What? Producing Blood Intent Pills?" Lingg Yu and Fang Lai were both shocked and turned to look at the Thousand Heroes Sect Leader.
