"It's the ancient evil race. They first occupied the North Mystic Divine Territory before invading the north of the Myriad Divine Territory. My Ice Lake Island was in this region and was massacred. Only a few of us managed to escape," answered the middle-aged man respectfully.
He guessed that the youth in front of him had been in seclusion for too long and was unaware of such matters.
"Ancient evil race?" Yi Yun's brows pricked up slightly. "What's that?"
"That's what we call them. We're not too sure what they really are. It's said that twenty years ago, a sect called Jade Wave unearthed an ancient ruin, and a kind of evil spirit appeared there. It can possess geniuses and completely cripple the original geniuses."
"From that moment on, it went out of control. Later on, a godly man named Yi Yun appeared. He was able to bring back the dead and easily resolve the evil spirit. Unfortunately, Young Master Yi vanished, allowing the evil spirit to spread once again."
"In recent years, many of the geniuses that had been possessed have been completely replaced by the evil spirit, becoming monsters. We call these monsters the ancient evil race. These people are filled with a ghostly aura and are no longer human!"
The middle-aged man said so much in one breath as his face turned purple. He was deeply poisoned and could not be purged.
Yi Yun was secretly alarmed when he heard that. He had already guessed that the demonic servants of the Jadewave Sect were only the beginning. A calamity would come sooner or later. After all, the bronze giants had once filled the 12 Empyrean Heavens a long time ago. They had countless servants that completely repressed the other races.
But now, hearing from the people in front of him that the demonic servants had completed their possession and completely replaced the geniuses, even occupying the North Mystic Divine Territory, Yi Yun was still alarmed. How could it be so fast?
With a flick of his finger, a pill shot into the middle-aged man's mouth. Before the middle-aged man could react, the pill naturally melted in his mouth, transforming into a warm current that infused into his organs.
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback before he was immediately pleasantly surprised. He felt that the poison in his body had been greatly repressed because of the pill. As long as he spent some time refining it, there was a chance of purging the poison!
Who was this youth? How could a pill he casually produced have such miraculous effects?
However, it was clearly not the time to refine the pill. The middle-aged man could tell that the youth still had questions for him.
"What about Myriad City? How's Myriad City? "
Yi Yun was most concerned about Myriad City. City Lord Qin, Princess White Fox, Dong Xiaowan, and company were there.
"Myriad City? I haven't heard from Myriad City for half a year. I believe that Myriad City is still around. After all, there are so many experts guarding it. "
"However, although there are no major incidents in Myriad City, there is no peace. A few years ago, a person named Skyfire Sacred Hands appeared. I heard that he was an important figure of the Candle Cauldron Divine Territory and an alchemy master. However, he pledged allegiance to the evil demons and became an ancient evil race."
"He seems to hate Young Master Yi to the bone. As such, he suddenly appeared in Myriad City and destroyed Young Master Yi's Yun Xin Loft. He even planted evil spirits in a few ladies. Now that I think about it, those ladies are probably doomed."
"What!?"
Yi Yun's heart palpitated when he heard that. Skyfire Sacred Hands had submitted to the demonic servants!?
These demonic servants parasitized geniuses. Once they possessed them, their strength would increase exponentially. And with Skyfire Sacred Hands having already reached the realm of a Supremacy, his strength would be unimaginable if he were to be parasitized by the demonic servants. If Xiaowan and Ru'er were to be harmed by Skyfire Sacred Hands, would they survive?
"How long has it been?"
Yi Yun asked anxiously.
"Ah?" The middle-aged man did not react immediately. He did not expect Yi Yun to have such a huge reaction. "You're asking about those ladies? I think they were harmed by Skyfire Sacred Hands four years ago … No, five years ago … "
The middle-aged man counted with his fingers. It had been twenty-six to twenty-seven years since the first evil spirit appeared in the ancient ruin dug up by the Jadewave Sect.
"Five years!?" Yi Yun drew a cold gasp. The evil spirit had been planted in them for five years. Could it be that they had been possessed by the evil spirit?
"Do you know who was harmed?"
"About that … I do not know …"
The middle-aged man felt a little guilty when he saw the look in Yi Yun's eyes. Was the youth related to those ladies?
At that moment, the youth beside the middle-aged man spoke. He said, "Over the years, dozens of geniuses have been harmed by Skyfire Sacred Hands. But if Senior is asking about the ladies related to Young Master Yi, I do know a little. It should only be Dong Xiaowan and Fairy Youqin. Fairy Wuxia's strength is outstanding, and with her master's protection, she should be fine."
When the youth said this, he looked curiously at Yi Yun. As he revered Yi Yun greatly, he yearned for Yi Yun's feats. That was why he had paid attention to such matters. When he thought of how the youth had casually saved his martial uncle, and how he was so young and concerned about those women, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He said, "Could you be Young Master Yi Yun!?"
The youth's sudden question left the other Ice Lake Island disciples dumbfounded. Yi Yun?
More than twenty years ago, Yi Yun's name was like thunder to the ears. He was a legendary figure who was bound to become an alchemist sage or a Divine Lord in the future.
Yet, they had encountered Yi Yun?
Yi Yun did not answer at all. His expression was extremely ugly. Dong Xiaowan and Fairy Youqin had suffered because of him. Skyfire Sacred Hands was only doing this to force him out. Especially when he thought of Dong Xiaowan's state, Yi Yun's heart was filled with killing intent.
It had been five years. It would probably be too late even if he rushed back.
With a flick of his hand, a pill bottle flew into the youth's hand. Following that, Yi Yun did not say a word. He held Ling Xie'er's hand and flew into the sky!
In a blink of an eye, Yi Yun and Ling Xie'er had tunneled into the void and vanished.
The remaining Ice Lake Island disciples were somewhat dumbfounded. What sort of technique was it to tunnel into the void while flying?
As for the Ice Lake Island youth, he looked at the pill bottle in his hand in a daze. He curiously pulled open the bottle's stopper, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance emanated out.
These pills …
The youth gulped a mouthful of saliva. He did not recognize the pills, but just from sensing the spiritual energy within them, he knew how precious they were. Perhaps the best cornerstone pills of Ice Lake Island were not even a tenth of these pills.
He had never thought that he would receive such an opportunity just by casually answering a few questions.
The person from before was really Yi Yun!
Upon coming to this realization, the youth was extremely excited.
"Listen, no one is to divulge a single word of our encounter with Young Master Yi in the remote mountains. Skyfire Sacred Hands is currently searching for Young Master Yi in the Myriad Divine Territory," the middle-aged man said worriedly.
As a member of the Myriad Divine Territory, he was naturally worried about the fate of the Myriad Divine Territory. Although Yi Yun was powerful, he was probably not the match of so many evil demons. All he wished for was for Yi Yun to be safe and lead the Myriad Divine Territory out of this perilous situation in the future …
