"Useless, truly useless."
"Truly infuriating to the core."
The Great Elder’s furious roar resonated throughout the entire hall.
The spirited aura caused the Spiritual Energy in the hall to surge uncontrollably.
"How could there be such overbearing elders like you?"
"Xiao Yi is merely a young man who has barely reached 20."
"Is he really worth your established presence, to gang up and target together?"
The uncontainable anger of the Great Elder was about to erupt.
The Sect Master and the others frowned.
The strength of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect’s Great Elder should not be underestimated.
Once he lost his temper, there were hardly a few present who could withstand him.
At that precise moment.
A ’snap’ sounded.
A steady and forceful hand grasped the Great Elder’s shoulder.
Everyone focussed only on the furious Great Elder.
But no one noticed.
The angry words of the Great Elder caused the solitary figure turning away to suddenly turn back.
The figure, naturally, was Xiao Yi.
"Boy, let go, this elder will seek justice for you," the Great Elder said furiously.
"No need," Xiao Yi replied lightly, shaking his head.
"The Great Elder’s kind intentions are appreciated."
"But indeed, there’s no need to be angry over my matters."
Xiao Yi was well aware that, on his own, the Great Elder could not change anything.
"No..." the Great Elder said instinctively, trying to break free from Xiao Yi’s grasp.
But to his horror, he found that with all his might, he couldn’t budge Xiao Yi’s tight grip.
At the same time, he was stunned.
Because in his eyes, Xiao Yi’s face was filled with disillusionment and hopelessness.
That was the expression of someone who had truly given up on the Sect, with no hope left.
Only then did he understand.
The Sect’s continuous difficulties, suppression, and unreasonable slander had already completely severed this young man’s hopes.
Even if he tried hard to change the outcome.
The young man before him would not be swayed in the slightest.
"The boy is leaving," Xiao Yi said with a faint smile.
In the next second, he turned completely, not looking back again.
As he passed by the people of Blood Mist Valley.
Blood River said coldly, "Hold on, Xiao Yi, you’ve slaughtered many of our Blood Mist Valley’s strong."
"Now you think you can just walk away and that will be the end of it?"
Murong Jiao’er also spoke coldly, "Xiao Yi, years ago, you slaughtered my family."
"My kin, my relatives, all died tragically by your hands."
"Years later, my only relative, my master, suffered again under your cruelty."
"I demand your life."
Murong Jiao’er spoke coldly, thinking Xiao Yi was now powerless and could be dealt with.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi coldly turned his head.
His face, previously indifferent, suddenly turned murderously cold.
"Murong Jiao’er, do you think I really didn’t know about your faked death?"
"Do you think a mere Turtle Breath Pill could fool me, a high-level pharmacist?"
"I spared your life once, I can take it again."
"And you others," Xiao Yi coldly eyed Master Xue and Blood River.
"Hiring desperados to deal with my Xiao Family."
"If you dare, continue."
