“It doesn’t matter what kind of secret he possesses; we are now in trouble. We have to report this to the Chief Hall Master. Jiang Yi must die!”
Ji Tingyu’s words made the others look even graver. Dugu Yan nodded seriously and said, “Yes, send a message to my father right now and ask him to return immediately. Jiang Yi must be killed; this person cannot be left alive!”
“Not only Jiang Yi!”
Ji Tingyu waved her hand and walked around in the grand hall while saying, “Those that participated and spectated the battle must all die. The Demon Empress, Grandma Silver Flower, Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and all the clansmen of the Yun, the Zhan, the Qian, and the Su Clans. All of them must die! Otherwise... you should know of the consequences.”
“This!”
One of the doyens, who had ash-colored hair, lifted his sparse brows and said, “The Yun, the Zhan, the Qian, and the Su Clans are easy to eliminate. How are we going to kill Grandma Silver Flower, Zhuge Qingyun, Shui Youlan, and... the Demon Empress? Even if we take ten thousand steps back and assume that we can do it—if they were all killed, the influential powers in the world would in a huge turmoil. Once the Chief Hall Master returns, we will surely be punished.”
“Punished for?”
Ji Tingyu was young, and she had only entered the Martial Arts Hall for a short period of time. She had a formidable aura presence was felt as though she was currently the leading person for the four of them. Her eyes flickered as she said, “If this incident was leaked out, the consequences would be catastrophic! If the Chief Hall Master is here, he will only agree and not fault us! Furthermore... we are not going to make a move now as we don’t have such strength. Rice must be eaten one mouth after the other. We will first eliminate the four clans. Zhuge Qingyun has been severely injured this time, and it is our best opportunity to take that old cripple out. If we cannot do it, then we just have to wait for Chief Hall Master to return.”
“En, Saint Lady Ji is correct!”
The white-haired doyen, who had yet to speak until now, nodded his head and said, “This incident must not be leaked to anyone else. The consequences would be unimaginably severe. Even if Jiang Yi didn’t divulge the information to them, we should rather kill wrongly than let them off! Time is pressing, and they should be returning now. We have to make arrangements immediately and eradicate the four clans first.”
“Saint Lady Ji, you go make arrangements right now. I will send a message to Chief Hall Master.”
The other doyen nodded and walked out in a hurry. Dugu Yan was getting excited while Ji Tingyu let out a faint smile. She nodded lightly and walked out of the grand hall before looking towards the sky above. She laughed and muttered, “Jiang Yi, you are truly a generational prodigy; and you have defied against the heaven once again. Do you think you can go against the entire Martial Arts Hall by yourself?”
...
“Ruoxue, I have made you worried! This time, I originally wanted to get some honey for you...”
In one of the rooms, Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue were seated while hugging each other. His eyes were filled with guilt as Su Ruoxue had made her way from thousands of miles away, even putting behind the Great Xia Kingdom. It was imaginable how worried and concerned she was.
“Do we need to say such things between us?”
Su Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Jiang Yi before she took the initiative to give him a passionate kiss. She converted all the yearning and worry into this kiss, and they maintained this position for almost 15 minutes. Su Ruoxue then pushed away Jiang Yi’s hand which was up to mischief. She blushed and tidied up her messy attire. She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Where is Little Sister Xiaonu?”
Jiang Yi explained, “She is fine, and I have placed her in the Universal Palace. She is overly exhausted and just needs to rest a few days.”
“Why aren’t you letting her out? You!”
Su Ruoxue quickly got up and spoke in a nervous tone. Jiang Yi took out small white jade palace which flashed with white light as Jiang Xiaonu appeared on the bed. She looked horribly pale, but her breathing was rather stable.
“Oh my, Little Sister Xiaonu!”
Su Ruoxue was extremely distressed as she totally ignored Jiang Yi. When she saw how disordered Jiang Xiaonu’s clothes were, especially the ripped clothes on her back, she frantically asked that old grandma to bring over a pail of hot water. She wanted to help Xiaonu wipe her body and change into a clean set of clothes.
“What are you standing there for?”
She glared at the embarrassed Jiang Yi—who was standing by the side—and said, “Hurry up and go out. I am going to help Sister change her clothes. Are you preparing to stand here and watch?”
“Uh...”
Jiang Yi rubbed his nose and walked out. He truly loved Su Ruoxue utterly to her bones. Jiang Xiaonu obviously had affection for him, but she didn’t have any hint of jealousy and treated Jiang Xiaonu with sincere fondness instead. She had willingly shared her own man with another woman. Where could anyone find another woman who was so generous like her?
This was, in fact, an intelligent move by Su Ruoxue. Jiang Xiaonu was too important to Jiang Yi. Instead of striving for his favor, why not take a step back? A woman like this would be able to easily gain the love of a man.
Jiang Yi left the room and went to the deck before releasing the Yazi Beast. Once the Yazi Beast was released, it immediately cursed, “Brat, if you still don’t help, this king is going to turn into a zombie beast. Quickly help this king to expel the black aura!”
A patch of the Yazi Beast’s skin was blackened, and there was faint black aura shrouding its body while it was having this agonized expression. Its aura presence was originally horrific, but with the complement of the sinister black aura, it looked even more terrifying. All the clansmen on the deck had already shifted to one side and look at the Yazi Beast with fear.
“Alright! What are you cursing for?!”
Jiang Yi released some Earth Fire, and when the Fire Spirit Pearl tried to protect the owner, he constantly channeled that energy and poured it into the Yazi Beast. All this expelled black aura should be the corpse aura of those living corpses, which could corrupt the living and turn them into the dead.
Underground world!
Jiang Yi lamented again. That place was a time bomb, and those living corpse might just burst out at any moment. They would certainly turn the continent into a living hell, turning all the humans, demonic beasts, and all living creatures into zombies and zombie beasts.
Just thinking of this made Jiang Yi shiver, but he immediately shook his head and tossed that thought to one side. He wasn’t the savior of the continent; neither was he the ruler of the continent. These should be left to Shui Youlan and the others to ponder about. His strength was too weak, and it would be difficult to even protect himself. He had better look for a way to survive the three-year promise first.
Three days later, the ship had arrived at Western Peace City where they were all going to part ways. Yun Fei had to bring her men back, and Zhan Wushuang was very reluctant. The Zhan Clan was about to propose for marriage, and he couldn’t make her stay?
Western Peace City was within the territories of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, and they weren’t worried about her safety. Hence, after staying in the Western Peace City for a while more, Yun Fei and the others went back to Mystic Heaven City.
After Zhuge Qingyun recovered a little, he bade everyone farewell and rode his golden dragon back. Jiang Yi and the others had decided to move together as Qian Wanguan had to pass through Summer Rain City in order to return to the Divine Martial Kingdom.
With a large group traveling, the speed was more or less be affected. Jiang Yi didn’t want to waste any time, and so he simply put everyone into the Universal Palace and rode the Yazi Beast directly to Summer Rain City.
The Yazi Beast was very fast as they flew 10,000 miles up in the sky, it was very safe, and it only took them a few days to arrive at Summer Rain City.
Once the Yazi Beast landed in the royal palace, the officials of the Great Xia Kingdom let out a breath of relief. Jiang Yi released everyone, and just as he entered the Drifting Snow Palace, he received a piece of unacceptable information.
Zhuge Qingyun had been suddenly attacked when he just arrived at the Mt. Spirit Beast College last night. As a result... he was killed! His golden dragon, which was a spirit beast, had died along with him. The entire Mt. Spirit Beast College had started an insurrection as they all searched for the murderer.
