Chapter 991 Two lives are at stake?

After leaving the Demon Hunting Hall, Xiao Yi headed towards the monster forests.

Time gradually passed.

Almost every day, Xiao Yi was doing the same thing, sweeping through the monster forests.

Half a month passed in an instant.

…

Fangcun City, outside the main hall of the Demon Hunting Hall.

An indifferent figure walked slowly past.

The figure is wearing a mask, and the face cannot be seen clearly.

However, there was a hint of exhaustion in those cold eyes.

The eyes of almost all demon hunters around him were focused on him.

"What a strong smell of blood."

"What a terrible murderous intention."

"Wearing a mask and cold eyes, it's him, Yi Xiao, Zi Yan Yi Xiao."

After several demon hunters said a few words in surprise, they instantly recognized Xiao Yi.

"Yi Xiao?" The faces of the demon hunters around him changed.

"I heard that this madman has been sweeping through the monster forests almost without sleep for the past half month."

"..."

Talking about it all the time.

Xiao Yi turned a deaf ear and walked straight into the Demon Hunting Hall.

I came to the mission office, handed in all the missions, and finally had enough mission points.

"I want to be promoted to the title of Chief Deacon." Xiao Yi said coldly.

"Well, this..." the staff member said hesitantly, "Deacon Yi Xiao, to be promoted to chief deacon, you need the permission of the palace master, so..."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Promotional titles need to be handled by someone with a higher position.

"Deacon Yi Xiao." The staff member said solemnly, "The master of the hall has invited you."

"Lead the way." Xiao Yi said indifferently.

Demon hunting hall, back hall.

Xiao Yi came to the palace master's study.

Pushing the door open, the palace master was processing files in front of the desk.

In the Demon Hunting Hall, from ordinary staff to deacons, chief deacons, and hall masters, they often have to deal with a large number of files.

Xiao Yi is used to it.

"Here we come." The palace master put down the file in his hand and looked at Xiao Yi.

"sit down."

"Half a month ago, I sent a chief deacon to invite you, but you were not invited."

"This time, I have to personally use my name to invite you here, ha."

"The master of the palace is joking." Xiao Yigong cupped his hands and said calmly, "Last time, I was busy hunting monsters and had no time to spare."

"I came here this time to apply for promotion to the title of Archdeacon."

"Yes." The palace master nodded, "Your reason seems reasonable."

"In the past half month, you have been sweeping through the monster forests almost without sleep. I know this."

"For the promotion to Chief Deacon, you get the token and I will instruct people to handle the formalities."

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Yi thanked him.

The palace master smiled and said, "Sit down first, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yi asked directly without sitting down.

The palace master frowned when he saw this.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "The boy has always been a restless person, so he won't sit down anymore."

"If the palace master has anything to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"Heh." The palace master smiled, "Zi Yan Yi Xiao is an interesting person."

"Okay, it's up to you. A warrior should be free from restraints. It's good that you have such a temperament."

"Next, let me ask you something, what happened in the Misty Mountains that day?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

He thought the palace master wanted to ask him something.

"Didn't Huo Linlang tell the palace master about the matter in the Misty Mountains in detail?" Xiao Yi asked doubtfully.

"Or does the palace master still think that the boy has kidnapped Huo Linlang?"

"No." The palace master waved his hand and said, "That's not what I'm talking about."

"What's that?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"Liu Kai is dead." The palace master said solemnly.

"What? Liu Kai is dead?" Xiao Yi's eyes were shocked.

"The palace master is joking?"

Among those masters of formations, who were also at the peak of saint cultivation, there were only three people in the entire Fangcun City who could kill him.

"I'm not joking." The palace master's tone instantly became extremely solemn.

"When did it happen?" Xiao Yi asked doubtfully.

In the past half month, he had been hunting monsters all the way, thinking that Liu would be meeting to hunt him down.

Or, after Huo Linlang explains everything clearly, the Demon Hunting Palace will issue a wanted order to hunt him down.

But none of this happened.

Xiao Yi had been confused before, but now he suddenly understood.

The palace master thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Just half a month ago, it happened to be when you and Huo Linlang left the Misty Mountains."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned.

The palace master's tone suddenly became sharp, "I mean, half a month ago, except for you and Huo Linlang, all the warriors who were in the Misty Mountains that day died."

"Including several law enforcement teams chasing you, and nearly a hundred demon hunting teams with a good reputation."

"On that day, except for you and Huo Linlang, who left the Misty Mountains alive, everyone died there."

"What." Xiao Yi's pupils shrank.

The palace master said sternly, "I have personally entered the Misty Mountains to investigate."

"All the bodies have also been examined."

"Every one of them died of strange causes and looked panicked."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Palace Master, do you think I can be that capable of killing all of them silently?"

"No." The palace master shook his head, "Of course I know it wasn't you who killed him."

"So I ask you, what really happened that day?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yi shook his head, "From the time I stepped into the Misty Mountains to the time I left the Misty Mountains, there was nothing unusual."

"Impossible." The palace master shouted.

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I have been with Huo Linlang. If Huo Linlang has told you in detail, the palace master, then I think I have nothing to add."

"I dare to ask the palace master, is it possible to run rampant in the Misty Mountains?" Xiao Yi asked.

"No." The palace master shook his head, "I have traveled through countless dangerous places in the Central Territory."

"However, the Misty Mountains are the most bizarre and ancient dangerous places I have ever seen."

When Xiao Yi heard this, his heart suddenly became clear.

The deaths of Liu Kai and others indeed had nothing to do with him.

Before, he always felt that there seemed to be something terrifying in the Misty Mountains.

If the palace master can roam the Misty Mountains wantonly, he will definitely find this thing, and then he won't be asked.
