Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Invitation from the Primordial Evil Alliance

After the two came to an agreement, Yi Xiaoyao suddenly recalled something. He said to Niu Hua, "I have a matter that requires your assistance."

"If it’s within my power, I will certainly help," Niu Hua replied.

Yi Xiaoyao then had Jin Sanbao stay behind at the Black Horn Alliance and asked Niu Hua to help purchase the materials Jin Sanbao needed to create his puppets.

Niu Hua agreed readily. If Yi Xiaoyao could truly unite the Chaotic Alliance Domain in the future, then today’s deed would be an excellent opportunity for him to show his support. If Yi Xiaoyao failed, Niu Hua wouldn’t have much to lose.

As for the issue of Jin Sanbao’s safety staying here, Yi Xiaoyao wasn’t too worried.

After all, the fatty already possessed three Nascent Souls from the Seventh Realm of Nascent Soul Transformation. He could use them to create puppets comparable to a Seventh Realm expert, which was more than enough for self-defense.

In fact, it would be far more dangerous for Jin Sanbao to continue following Yi Xiaoyao.

After settling the matter, Yi Xiaoyao left the Black Horn Alliance alone.

Next, he would continue to use the Azure Heaven Order to test the reactions of the other alliances.

And Yi Xiaoyao had only one principle: Those who defy the order die!

As for the alliances Yi Xiaoyao had not yet destroyed, their attitude and reaction to the Azure Heaven Order were almost identical to Niu Hua’s. No one was willing to follow Yi Xiaoyao directly, which was only to be expected.

In the short span of half a month, Yi Xiaoyao had annihilated sixteen alliances, from rank one hundred down to fifty-one on the Chaos Alliance List.

This meant that if Yi Xiaoyao succeeded, the remaining two-thirds of the alliances would be willing to follow his commands.

However, when it came to the Lande Alliance, ranked fiftieth on the Chaos Alliance List, Yi Xiaoyao didn’t go straight to their doorstep.

This was because the Lande Alliance’s leader had a Cultivation at the Eighth Realm of Nascent Soul Transformation. After his defeat at the hands of Leng Bingchuan, Yi Xiaoyao had become far more cautious. He would never engage in a battle he wasn’t confident of winning.

At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao was in a secluded cave, cultivating with his eyes closed.

Spiritual Power billowed in from the surroundings, Devoured by Yi Xiaoyao. He was trying to break through to the Second Realm of Nascent Soul Transformation!

After half a month of slaughter and combat, his Cultivation Realm had stabilized to its absolute limit. This breakthrough would surely fall into place as smoothly as ever.

Sure enough, after only a single day, a strange ripple of energy spread out from the cave where Yi Xiaoyao was.

"Second Realm of Nascent Soul Transformation!"

Yi Xiaoyao opened his eyes, which glinted sharply. Sensing the Cultivation within him, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

’If I activate the Soul Burning Forbidden Technique and raise my Cultivation by three Realms, I’ll reach the Fifth Realm of Nascent Soul Transformation. That’s enough to fight an expert at the Eighth Realm.’

’And with my foundation and methods, Slaying an Eighth Realm expert won’t be too difficult.’

"In that case... let the slaughter and conquest continue!"

The figure in the cave flickered and vanished, leaving only a trail of bloody Slaughter Qi in his wake.

Meanwhile, the news that sixteen mid-sized alliances in the top one hundred had been annihilated within half a month caused a considerable stir, and the major powers were beginning to take notice.

This time, however, no one knew the identity of the person responsible for destroying the sixteen alliances.

Some of the larger alliances even went to the surviving alliances to inquire, but the answers they received were all the same: those who had not been destroyed also claimed to be ignorant of the perpetrator’s identity.

In truth, they really didn’t know. And even if they did have some information, they wouldn’t have shared it. This was not only because they wanted to witness the birth of a second Cang Tianxing, but also because they feared retaliation from Yi Xiaoyao.

Thus, all the major powers were speculating about Yi Xiaoyao’s identity. Although these events were somewhat similar to the past actions of the Blood Sword, no one could have guessed that the two were one and the same person.

Because in everyone’s mind, Yi Xiaoyao had already died at the hands of the Primordial Evil Alliance. No one would suspect a dead man.

That very night, after breaking through to the Second Realm of Nascent Soul Transformation, Yi Xiaoyao personally put this to the test.

Above the Lande Alliance, Yi Xiaoyao rose into the air, wreathed in billowing, bloody Slaughter Qi. Below him, in the various Sub-Pillar cities of the Lande Alliance, was a scene of utter destruction, devoid of any Vitality.

Just as Yi Xiaoyao was about to leave, his brow suddenly furrowed, and he barked at the empty space in the distance.

"Come out!"

A moment later, a man in a green robe flew over with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency possesses truly formidable strength. To think the Lande Alliance, ranked fiftieth on the Chaos Alliance List, was so easily wiped out by you!"

Although the green-robed man was smiling, the apprehension and fear in his eyes were impossible to conceal.

"Why have you come here?" Yi Xiaoyao asked indifferently.

The green-robed man hurriedly replied, "The Primordial Evil Alliance wishes to invite Your Excellency to become our Great Protector!"

The Great Protector. A position above the Left and Right Protectors, comparable to a Vice Alliance Leader!

When Yi Xiaoyao heard this, however, he paid no mind to the position of Great Protector. The important part was that the invitation came from the Primordial Evil Alliance.

Obviously, the Primordial Evil Alliance had no idea that the person they were inviting was none other than Yi Xiaoyao, returned for revenge.

"The Primordial Evil Alliance... I’ll be going there soon enough."

Yi Xiaoyao said to the green-robed man lightly.

Hearing this, the green-robed man’s face lit up with joy. It seemed he had finally completed the mission assigned to him by the Alliance Leader.

To find Yi Xiaoyao, he had deduced the pattern of his challenges against the various alliances and had been waiting around the Lande Alliance for several days.

"However..."

Just as the green-robed man was about to turn and report back, he heard a deadly voice from behind him.

"I will go to the Primordial Evil Alliance. But you won’t be going back."

Before the green-robed man could even react, his head was severed from his body.

Although Yi Xiaoyao had avoided using the Bloodthirsty Sword to prevent his identity from being exposed too early, this man had witnessed him destroy the Lande Alliance. For that, he had to die.

Besides, he was from the Primordial Evil Alliance. Whether he died sooner or later made little difference.

As the green-robed man’s head fell, he saw the face of Yi Xiaoyao beneath his cloak, and his mouth fell open in disbelief and horror.

Of course, no one would ever know what he saw to elicit such an expression.

Yi Xiaoyao just smiled coldly. ’The Primordial Evil Alliance actually wants to recruit me? That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.’

"By my calculations, at this rate, it’ll be the Primordial Evil Alliance’s turn soon," Yi Xiaoyao murmured, his gaze turning frigid.

...

「Yunzhou City, Shao Family Estate.」

A shadowy figure burst through a window and appeared before a middle-aged man inside the room.

"I’ve found out."

The shadowy figure got straight to the point, his eagle-like gaze fixed on the middle-aged man. "And the evidence is conclusive!"

"Tell me! Who was it? Who killed my son, Shao Jingyun?!"

The middle-aged man’s low voice could not conceal the furious rage in his heart.

"Clan Leader Shao, I’d advise you to calm down and suppress your anger. I’m afraid the one who killed your son is someone you can’t afford to offend!" The shadowy figure’s ghostly voice reached Clan Leader Shao’s ears.

Then, with a strange expression, he whispered in Clan Leader Shao’s ear, "This person... is named Yi Xiaoyao!"
