Chapter 991: Two dead?

Leaving the Demon Hunting Palace, Xiao Yi headed towards the big monster beast forests.
Time gradually passed.
Almost every day, Xiao Yi was doing repetitive things, sweeping the forests of monsters and beasts.
Half a month passed in a flash.
...
Fangcun City, outside the main hall of the Hunting Demon Palace.
An indifferent figure walked slowly.
The figure, wearing a mask, can't see his face.
However, there was a trace of fatigue in those cold eyes.
Around him, almost all the gazes of the Demon Hunter gathered on him.
"What a strong smell of blood."
"What a terrible killing intent."
"With a mask on his face and cold eyes, it is 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 demon hunter around him changed his expression.
"I heard that this madman has been sweeping the forests of monsters and beasts almost without sleep for the past half month."
"..."
Talking loudly, endlessly.
Xiao Yi turned a deaf ear and walked straight into the Demon Hunting Palace.
Came to the mission, handed in all the missions, and finally enough mission points.
"I want to be promoted to the title of Chief Deacon." Xiao Yi said coldly.
"Um, this..." the staff hesitated, "Deacon Yi Xiao, promotion to the chief deacon requires permission from the Lord, so..."
Xiao Yi nodded.
The promotion of the title requires a higher position to deal with.
"Deacon Yi Xiao," the staff member said in a deep voice, "Hall Master invites you."
"Lead the way." Xiao Yi said indifferently.
Demon Hunting Hall, back hall.
Xiao Yi came to the master's study room.
Pushing the door and leaving, the hall master was processing the file at the table.
The Demon Hunting Hall, down to ordinary staff, up to deacons, chief deacons, and hall masters, often deal with a large number of files.
Xiao Yi is not used to it.
"Come here." The hall master put down the file in hand and looked at Xiao Yi.
"sit down."
"Half a month ago, I sent a deacon chief to invite you, but I didn't move."
"This time, the old man himself can invite you in my name, huh."
"The lord of the palace is joking." Xiao Yi arched his hands and said lightly, "Last time the kid was busy hunting monsters, and there was no leisure time."
"This time, I want to apply for promotion to the title of deacon."
"Yeah." The hall master nodded, "Your reason is reasonable."
"In the past half a month, you have been sweeping the major monster beast forests almost endlessly. I know this."
"For the promotion to the chief deacon, you get the token, and I will tell someone to handle the formalities."
"Thanks to the Lord." Xiao Yi thanked him.
The lord smiled and said, "Sit down first, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yi didn't sit down, but asked directly.
Upon seeing this, the lord frowned.
Xiao Yi said solemnly, "The kid has always been a person who can't be idle, so he won't sit down."
"If the lord asks anything, the kid knows everything."
"Heh." The lord smiled, "Zi Yan Yi Xiao is an interesting person."
"Well, it's up to you, warrior, you should be unrestrained, you have such a disposition, it's not bad."
"Next, let me ask you something, what happened in the Misty Mountains that day?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
He thought the main hall was asking him something.
"Didn't Huo Linlang tell the palace master about the Misty Mountains?" Xiao Yi asked suspiciously.
"Or, the palace master still thinks that the kid had taken Huo Linlang abducted?"
"No." The hall master waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about this."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.
"Liu Kai is dead." The hall master said in a deep voice.
"What? Liu Kai is dead?" Xiao Yi's eyes were startled.
"The Lord is joking?"
The formation masters, and they are also the peak cultivation base of the saints, in the entire Fangcun city, there are not three people who can kill others.
"I'm not kidding." The palace master's tone suddenly became extremely solemn.
"When is it?" Xiao Yi asked doubtfully.
Over the past half month, he has been hunting monsters all the way, thinking that Liu Shanxi will hunt him down.
Or, after Huo Linlang explained things clearly, the Demon Hunter Palace would issue a wanted order to hunt him down.
But none of this happened.
Xiao Yi once had doubts, but now it suddenly occurred.
The hall master thought for a while, 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 in the Misty Mountains that day died."
"Including several law enforcement teams that hunted you down, nearly a hundred well-known hunting teams."
"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 hall master sternly said, "I have personally entered the Misty Mountains to investigate."
"Also checked all the corpses."
"Every one is due to a weird cause of death, with panic on his face."
Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Hall Master thought that he could have such an ability to kill them all silently?"
"No." The hall master shook his head, "I naturally know that you didn't kill it."
"So I ask you, what happened that day?"
"I don't know." Xiao Yi shook his head, "From when I stepped into the Misty Mountains to when I left the Misty Mountains, nothing happened."
"Impossible." The hall master stood up.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "I have been with Huo Linlang. If Huo Linlang has told you in detail, then I don't think I have anything to add."
"Dare to ask the lord, maybe he will rampage across the Misty Mountains?" Xiao Yi asked.
"No." The hall master shook his head, "I have traveled through countless dangerous places in the Middle Territory."
"However, the Misty Mountains are the most bizarre and the oldest dangerous places the old man has ever seen."
Xiao Yi's heart was stunned when he heard the words.
The death of Liu Kai and others really has nothing to do with him.
Before, he always felt that there seemed to be something terrible in the Misty Mountains.
If the Lord of the Palace can rampage through the Misty Mountains, he will definitely be able to find this thing, so he won't come to ask him.
"Forget it." The hall master waved his hand and then sat down.
"You don't know, and I won't ask more."
"Perhaps, it's really just you and Huo Linlang who are dead, and escaped."
"By the way, this matter must not be spread."
"The Misty Mountains have been sealed off by my Demon Hunting Palace, and the affairs of Liu Kai and others have also been classified as confidential."
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.
He was not interested in these things.
Xiao Yi waited in the room for about half an hour, and a staff member took the token and returned.
From now on, Xiao Yi has the title of chief deacon.
"Well, if there is nothing wrong, let's go down." The hall master said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Xiao Yi bowed slightly and retired.
Xiao Yi also had many doubts about the Misty Mountains.
When he first entered the mountains, he used the word ‘how is it possible’ many times.
That's because what he encountered really exceeded his understanding.
He has also rushed through many dangerous places, but in the impression that he can say ‘how is it possible’ so many times in such a short period of time, only the Misty Mountains.
The Misty Mountains were not only densely foggy, but now it seemed to be densely foggy and strange.
Perhaps, if you are successful in your cultivation in the future, you will find out and get a clear idea.
And now, he has more important things.
With a steady pace, he walked quickly to the file room.
...
Fifth more. (Make up)
