Xiao Yi and Qing Lin left.
However, just as they stepped out of the Wind Shattering Hall’s door, a hurried figure suddenly collided into them.
Xiao Yi reacted quickly, sidestepping the collision.
"Apologies," said the person, glancing at Xiao Yi with an apologetic expression before quickly walking into the Wind Shattering Hall.
Xiao Yi shook his head, not caring, and was about to leave.
But suddenly, a loud shout came from within the Wind Shattering Hall.
"Urgent decree from the Vice Hall Master, all Wind Masters with the title of Chief Steward or above in Four-direction City, immediately proceed to the Asura Hall Main Hall."
"Hmm?" Outside the Wind Shattering Hall, Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.
"Proceed to the Asura Hall Main Hall?"
"Is something significant happening?" Qing Lin asked in confusion.
At this time, a staff member quickly walked out of the Wind Shattering Hall.
Xiao Yi recognized this staff member from the Task Department earlier.
If not mistaken, he was to announce this urgent decree throughout the Four-direction City.
"Let’s go, check out the Asura Hall Main Hall," said Xiao Yi.
As the Chief Steward of the Wind Shattering Hall, it was only natural for him to go.
However, such urgent decrees were generally equivalent to a summons and were not mandatory.
Go if you wish, if not, it’s fine.
But instinctively, Xiao Yi thought, if not mistaken, it was surely related to the ’Heavenly Demon Blood Bat’ incident.
The two headed towards the Asura Hall Main Hall.
Along the way, they frequently saw martial artists hurrying by.
Judging by their aura, all had exceptional cultivation.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi also heard several announcements.
"Urgent decree from the Vice Hall Master, all Flame Hall Warriors with the title of Chief Steward or above, immediately proceed to the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall."
"Urgent decree from the Vice Hall Master, all Medicine Envoys with the title of Chief Steward or above, immediately proceed to the Demon Hunting Hall Main Hall."
"Urgent decree from the Vice Hall Master... immediately proceed to the Black Demon Hall Main Hall."
"Urgent decree from the Vice Hall Master... immediately proceed to the Asura Hall Main Hall."
"....."
One by one, the Eight Palace Martial Artists quickly moved through the Four-direction City.
Decrees were being spread throughout Four-direction City at an extremely fast pace.
A heavy atmosphere suddenly enveloped the entire Four-direction City.
Xiao Yi and Qing Lin’s expressions grew serious.
"Let’s quicken our pace," said Xiao Yi, increasing his speed.
"Hey, wait," Qing Lin exclaimed urgently, "I’m not an Eight Palace Martial Artist, can I go too?"
"No problem, just follow me," replied Xiao Yi.
The two swiftly headed towards the Asura Hall Main Hall.
In Four-direction City, each of the Eight Palaces had a Main Hall stationed here.
The Asura Hall Main Hall wasn’t far from the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall.
A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the Asura Hall Main Hall.
Like the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall before, the Asura Hall Main Hall here was significantly larger and more magnificent than the main or sub halls in other areas.
The two entered, and the Asura Hall was already crowded with martial artists.
On one side, a staff member was leading the crowd into the Inner Hall.
Upon entering the Inner Hall...
The spacious Inner Hall had already been waiting for no less than a few thousand martial artists.
Xiao Yi sensed the area, his expression slightly surprised.
These thousands of martial artists all had cultivation above the Saint King Realm, all likely held the title of Chief Steward or above, with many Sub Hall Masters also present.
"As expected of Four-direction City," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
The strongest major city in the Four-direction Domain was able to gather such a large number of powerful figures in such a short time.
And this was only within the Asura Hall.
Moreover, these thousands of martial artists were just the Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall Warriors.
