At the same time that Xiao Yan passed through the desert, the Southern Hall Master of the Northern Desolation Hall, who had just broken through to the Origin Transformation realm, was currently standing in the main hall of the Northern Desolation Hall.
"What did you say? The Southern Hall was destroyed? The Southern Hall of my Northern Desolation Hall was destroyed by a brat?! You sure are competent as a Hall Master! "
A dignified middle-aged man in embroidered robes sat on the main seat of the hall with a frown on his face. He angrily looked at the Southern Hall Master, who was standing in the center of the hall with his head lowered. His tone was extremely low.
"The destruction of the Southern Hall was due to this subordinate's negligence, and I am willing to accept the punishment. However, this subordinate was at a critical juncture of breaking through at the time and was unable to do anything else. That is why this disaster happened. I hope that the Hall Master can understand."
The Southern Hall Master clasped his hands towards the middle-aged man. His words were an apology, but his tone sounded more like he was asking for credit.
"Oh? Breakthrough? You mean … you broke through to the Origin Transformation realm? "
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed. A light flickered in the depths of his eyes as he asked a question that he already knew the answer to.
"Yes, I wasn't in the Southern Hall at that time. I chose another place to break through. Therefore, I didn't know what happened in the Southern Hall. When I returned to the city, it was already a mess. I couldn't help but panic. That's why I hurriedly came here to apologize!"
The Southern Hall Master lowered his head, but his lips curled into a cold smile. Asking for forgiveness was bullshit. If he had not broken through, the person before him would not have spared him so easily. However, now that they were both Origin Transformation experts, the person before him would definitely be wary of him. There was no need to ask for forgiveness.
"Oh, so that's how it is …"
The Southern Hall Master revealed an expression of sudden realization. Hearing this, the Southern Hall Master smiled inwardly. But soon after.
"Since you have come to beg for forgiveness, why do you have to emphasize that you have broken through to the Origin Transformation realm? What, do you think I can't tell? Or do you think that I will be wary of you just because you have broken through to the Origin Transformation Realm?! "
The domineering voice reverberated in the hall. An extremely powerful aura instantly swept out from the middle-aged man on the main seat. The terrifying pressure caused the entire hall to buzz at this moment.
"Boom!"
A merciless pressure descended on the South Palace Master's head. Before he could regain his senses, the terrifying power had already pressed down heavily on his body. With a bang, he half-knelt on the ground, and his entire body was completely bent.
"Hmph …"
The South Hall Master felt a sweetness in his throat after he let out a muffled groan. A faint fishy sweetness surged up. At the same time, a rich horror crazily surged from the bottom of his heart. It was accompanied by an incomparable shock.
He had underestimated the strength of an Origin Transformation expert!
"I … I don't dare …"
Only after enduring the terrifying pressure from the hall master with a deathly pale face did the South Hall Master understand that the difference between him and the hall master was like the distance between heaven and earth. Even though they were both Origin Transformation experts, his cultivation was far from being the latter's opponent. If the hall master really wanted to attack him, the outcome would be a one-sided slaughter!
"Hmph! You'd better put away your thoughts. You have to remember who is the boss in the Northern Wilderness. If you want to be promoted, you have to see how capable you are! "
Glancing coldly at the South Palace Master, the South Palace Master sneered in his heart. He had been the overlord of the Northern Barren Territory for so many years. He had seen all kinds of people and killed all kinds of strong cultivators. If the person in front of him could obey him, he would be his loyal dog. But if not, he could just kill him and raise him again.
"Hmph, get up. Now that the Southern Hall has been destroyed, it's too late to say anything. Although you had your reasons, the Southern Hall is still under your jurisdiction. Aside from something like this, you have to be punished. What do you think?"
Only after a series of cold words did the hall master withdraw his pressure. Since he had achieved his goal of intimidating the South Hall Master, there was obviously no need for him to force the South Hall Master. Otherwise, it would only backfire, which was not an outcome he wanted to see.
At this moment, the South Hall Master was also shocked by the middle-aged man's terrifying cultivation. He did not dare to refute the man's words, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, I won't make things too difficult for you. Go back and rebuild the Southern Hall. Make those who dared to mock my Northern Desolate Hall pay the price. Make them understand just who is the boss in the Northern Wilderness!"
"Yes!"
The South Hall Master respectfully nodded. His half-kneeling body trembled as he climbed up from the ground.
"After rebuilding the Southern Hall, I'll punish you by prohibiting you from leaving the Southern Hall for five years. No matter what happens, you must remain in the Southern Hall. This will be your punishment for failing to fulfill your duty. What do you think?"
The Palace Master withdrew his previous cold attitude and spoke in a calm tone.
The South Hall Master immediately nodded. Being prohibited from leaving the Southern Hall for five years was equivalent to nothing to him. Perhaps this was another way for the Palace Master to subdue the South Hall Master.
After a few more words, the South Hall Master left the hall under the signal of the middle-aged man on the main seat. In the blink of an eye, the huge hall became empty again.
The middle-aged man sat silently on the chair, frowning slightly. His right index finger, which was placed on the armrest, gently tapped on it, as if he was waiting for something.
"Chi …"
Suddenly, in a dark corner of the hall, a faint and strange fog suddenly rose. It was like a ghost, passing through the stone pillars that supported the hall, and the lights on them were extinguished at the same time.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk … Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to survive in the ancient tomb and come to the Northern Region. Tsk tsk tsk tsk …"
A strange and strange laughter came from the black fog. When the Palace Master heard this voice, he unconsciously twisted his body. Given his temperament, he was also afraid of this thing that was neither human nor ghost.
"He is the person you are looking for?"
The Palace Master's emotionless voice came out of his mouth. Looking at the strange black fog that was approaching him, the Palace Master did not hide the disgust in his eyes. The longer he interacted with them, the more he could feel their disgust.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk … That's right, we have been waiting for him for a long time!"
"The person who is targeted by you will definitely have a terrible ending."
The Palace Master said without any fear.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Palace Master, we will need your help next. As long as you can capture him, the higher-ups will be very satisfied with you."
"I only ask about the reward."
Without any formalities, the Palace Master asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Yuan Wang."
The strange laughter was once again emitted from the black fog. This time around, even the middle-aged man's expression involuntarily changed. In the past, when he worked for these fellows, he was at the very most able to obtain a small portion of the benefits. However, it was unexpected that capturing a small Dou Di this time around would actually give him such an exciting benefit.
"What is the identity of this brat? He is actually worth all of you paying such a price for his life?"
"Tsk tsk tsk … Palace Master, the higher-ups do not like people who talk too much."
A dark and cold voice was emitted from the black fog. Immediately, the cluster of black fog drifted away. In the blink of an eye, it once again disappeared into the dark corner of the hall.
