"Who are you?"
The Evil Cultivation Elder blocked the flame in front of him and coldly stared at Xiao Yi.
He could clearly see that the person in front of him was definitely not weaker than himself.
Xiao Yi remained silent but glanced at Guu Feifan and the others.
Indeed, this group of ’familiar faces’ were none other than the prodigies of Heavenly Hidden Academy, including Guu Feifan.
Within the Central Region, there were some prodigies, or martial artists, who could roam freely.
Such as Mo Youu, Guu Feifan, Linghu Wang, and the prodigies of the Eighteen Mansions.
They didn’t necessarily need to have the power of a supreme expert.
But they could still move about unhindered.
Because behind them stood a colossal influence.
In the Central Region, no one was willing to offend these massive entities, nor bear their wrath.
Thus, they could venture freely throughout the Central Region without worrying about significant danger.
However, there was one ’exception’ among them.
And that was encountering an Evil Cultivator.
Evil Cultivators were a force that everyone in the Central Region wanted to eradicate.
Yet, they acted with reckless abandon.
Meaning, they weren’t afraid of the wrath or revenge from the major forces.
Of course, Evil Cultivators usually kept a very low profile and dared not show themselves too often.
And those prodigies backed by huge influences were skilled and powerful, generally not something Evil Cultivators could handle.
As long as they didn’t encounter anyone above an Evil Cultivation Elder, there was no danger at all.
But an Evil Cultivation Elder dared not show their head even more; because once they appeared, it could mean that the top experts of the entire region would hunt them down.
Therefore, these prodigies barely needed to worry about this ’exception’ of danger.
However, it seemed today Guu Feifan and his group had bad luck and encountered an Evil Cultivation Elder.
"Why are they here?" Xiao Yi glanced at Guu Feifan and his group, secretly puzzled.
According to Elder Yun Yuan, the chiefs of the Five Great Academies were supposed to be in seclusion right now in the Heavenly Hidden Academy.
At this moment, the Evil Cultivation Elder looked at Xiao Yi as if in thought.
"So young, wearing black combat clothes and a mask, and also a Fire Control Warrior..."
"It’s you, Purple Flame Yi Xiao."
Even though Xiao Yi did not speak, the Evil Cultivation Elder quickly reacted and recognized Xiao Yi.
However, the tone of the Evil Cultivation Elder was obviously extremely cold.
In his tone there was anger, coldness, and a hint of dread.
But this hint of dread quickly disappeared.
"Heh heh, good, very good." The Evil Cultivation Elder let out a cold eerie laugh.
"Originally, heading to the Fire Teeth Territory and encountering the prodigies of Heavenly Hidden Academy was already a great gift."
"Didn’t expect to receive another big gift now."
"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, in just one month, you’ve swept over hundreds of my Evil Lord Mansion branches."
"Your head is very valuable now."
The Evil Cultivation Elder suddenly shouted, "Maintain the great formation with all your might."
"Today, not only will I take the lives of the prodigies of Heavenly Hidden Academy, but I will also kill Yi Xiao here."
"Yes." The surrounding dozens of Evil Cultivators responded to the command.
Within the great formation, black air surged, becoming even denser.
Xiao Yi glanced and revealed only disdain in his eyes.
This great formation, he knew, was the Black Nightmare Formation.
Not considered a noteworthy great formation, its power is not weak, but it’s just an ordinary Evil Formation.
Guu Feifan and the others were no match, simply because their strength was inferior to this group of Evil Cultivators.
In Xiao Yi’s perception, the Evil Cultivation Elder was a supreme expert who mastered 9991 Dharmas.
On the side of Heavenly Hidden Academy, all were young academy prodigies, and even the leading Academy Elder had just barely reached the Supreme Level, mastering 9990 Dharmas.
It was natural that the people of Heavenly Hidden Academy were no match.
However, to Xiao Yi, this great formation was just a joke.
There’s no rush to break the formation just yet.
