Free Web NovelChapter 1920: Chapter 1920: Strange Markings
Xiao Yi’s figure walked through the Thunder Light Dangerous Land.
These two days, I’ll train in the Thunder Light Dangerous Land. Although it cannot provide much of a training effect, being idle is not an option.
He heard from the demon hunting teams, wind envoy teams, or family warrior teams he encountered along the way.
On Thunderstorm Day, thunder rolls and the entire dangerous land is ravaged by countless bolts of lightning.
For ordinary martial artists, a single strike of heavenly thunder can obliterate them.
On that day, nearly all martial artists will immediately retreat.
The danger, apart from the thunderstorm, also lies within this Thunder Light Dangerous Land, where those thunder attribute demon beasts reside.
After every Thunderstorm Day, the Thunder Light Dangerous Land will have large remnants of thunder attribute power.
At that time, a large number of Thunder Dao practitioners come to train.
Simultaneously, the thunder attribute demon beasts, bath in lightning, become stronger, and their demon beast cores become more powerful.
Hence, a large number of demon hunters, martial artists, and others choose to enter to hunt demon beasts at such times.
Therefore, although Thunderstorm Day is perilous.
To the martial artists around the Thunder Light Mansion region, it’s considered a lightning bath, a blessing from heaven and earth.
Of course, it’s one of the perks of this dangerous land.
As Xiao Yi walked, he casually killed some demon beasts.
However, not far away, a conversation from a demon hunting team made him slightly frown.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"A few days ago, a team of martial artists suddenly disappeared out of thin air here, very strange."
For martial artists traveling outside, such strange occurrences often make them quite cautious.
"Of course I’ve heard, reportedly a demon hunting team passed by and witnessed a storm of black wind suddenly sweeping through." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Then the entire team vanished into thin air."
"That demon hunting team apparently saw what they shouldn’t have and was slaughtered entirely."
"Only one particularly skilled demon hunter survived the disaster and passed on the news."
"That demon hunting team was just unlucky."
"But, what was that martial artist team all about? I heard that everyone in the team was young, like a group of youthful heavenly talents."
"Seems like some young masters from a family outing together, or a group of academy disciples."
"Pssh." Just then, an older man whispered, "Let me tell you, don’t spread this around."
"I heard it was a Heavenly Hidden Academy team."
The older man murmured softly.
Yet, Xiao Yi heard everything clearly with his perception.
And the demon hunting team burst into laughter upon hearing the old man’s words.
"What a joke, a Heavenly Hidden Academy team?"
"Who would dare move against the First Academy team in the Central Region?"
The conversation of this demon hunting team did not last long.
Xiao Yi just frowned slightly and did not pay attention, continuing to walk.
Demon hunters are spread throughout the world, each with its network.
Among them, rumors and stories often circulate.
Some are just banter, some exaggerated, and some partially true.
Naturally, Xiao Yi did not take it to heart.
But.
Two hours later.
As Xiao Yi walked casually and moved forward hundreds of miles, he suddenly paused.
An imprint on a large tree ahead made him frown.
"This is the mark of the Black Cloud Academy." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
And it is a distress signal.
Years ago, he participated in the Black Cloud Academy’s trials and had engaged in mutual aid missions among the academic disciples, so he recognized these marks.
"Could it be that boy Qing Lin?" Xiao Yi frowned.
In his impression, the entire Black Cloud Academy, the disciple most likely to offend enemies and get captured, would be Qing Lin.
"Damn it." Xiao Yi cursed under his breath, his figure flashing, and followed the marks.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yi tracked the marks all the way to the edge of the Thunder Light Dangerous Land.
Here, the marks abruptly ceased.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi reached out to touch a nearby tree.
"These marks have been tracked by someone else."
Xiao Yi frowned.
He took a few steps forward and looked at the ground.
On the ground, there were obvious tracking traces; however, they were also interspersed with erasure marks.
In other words, at this edge of the dangerous land, it wasn’t that the marks disappeared but that someone erased them.
"What’s going on?" Xiao Yi frowned deeply.
Someone tracked these marks, but someone else then erased them.
Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed, and the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes suddenly focused.
He then extended his perception.
His intuition told him that this was the work of evil cultivators.
In recent days, the actions of the evil cultivators have been most inappropriate.
Naturally, Xiao Yi thought of them first.
Regardless of whether there is evidence, investigate them first.
Within his perception, there were no evil cultivators in the entire Thunder Light Dangerous Land.
However, starting from his current edge position, a thousand miles away, there were faint traces of black air.
Which means there are evil cultivators a thousand miles away.
Swosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, and in a few breaths, he caught up with this group of evil cultivators.
And this group of evil cultivators was obviously destroying the surrounding trees.
"Seal." Xiao Yi shouted lowly.
Poisons swirled around a few evil cultivators, rendering them unable to move instantly.
Xiao Yi flashed forward, glancing at the residual marks amid the surrounding trees and ground.
However, these marks seemed strange and were not those of the Black Cloud Academy.
"Disperse." Xiao Yi waved his hand, dispersing the prohibitions on several evil cultivators.
"What are you doing?"
"Who are you..." several evil cultivators coldly exclaimed.
Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, "Speak truthfully, and perhaps I can let you die a peaceful death."
"Utter one more word of nonsense, humph."
A cold humph echoed, and within several meters centered on the evil cultivators, poison spread, corroding the ground into large holes.
The group’s faces changed drastically at this sight.
They didn’t doubt that these poisons were enough to cause a gruesome death, leaving no remains.
"Sir... Sir, what do you want to ask?" The evil cultivators shivered.
"Who ordered you to erase these marks?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.
The raspy voice made the evil cultivators tremble with fear.
"We...We are just following orders."
"Whose orders?" Xiao Yi inquired.
"The elder." The evil cultivators responded.
"Which elder?"
"Elder Poison Flower." The evil cultivators answered truthfully.
Xiao Yi had been sensing their auras, with no fluctuations, proving these evil cultivators were not lying.
However, this Elder Poison Flower was unknown to him.
And these evil cultivators, with their mere Saint King Realm cultivation, were just ordinary evil cultivators and probably wouldn’t know much.
Swosh...
A black streak flashed through the air.
Several evil cultivators fell dead.
Xiao Yi granted them a swift death, sparing them the pain of poison’s torment.
Swosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, following the marks to proceed further.
Traveling about a hundred miles, the marks altered once more.
Furthermore, the marks became not only strange but also barely perceptible.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi was always incredibly observant; otherwise, a common person might not have noticed these marks at all.
Xiao Yi stared for a few moments, pondering, and gradually understood these marks.
