Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 959: Pursuit from Four Clans

Under the North Thearch’s orders, the enormous war weapon—Wu Clan—started to mobilize in entirety. All the members from the Wu Clan’s four regions had dispatched their troops to all places to search for Jiang Yi. Countless Astrologers had also been deployed, and Divine Pattern Masters had also been dispatched. Ten Demigod Realm experts led hundreds of Heaven Monarch armies as they head towards the vicinity of Flood Martial City. They encircled around a perimeter of ten million miles, forming an inescapable net as they conducted a carpet search.

Jiang Yi and Bai Yi’s portraits and information had been posted at the gates of all the cities. Tens of thousands of clans, as well as hundreds of millions of martial artists, had been mobilized. The Wu Clan’s four regions were at a state of extreme paranoia, and all the hidden guards had been dispatched. Jiang Yi would be instantly discovered so long as he dared to appear at any location. He would then be surrounded and killed mercilessly by countless experts.

Simultaneously, the North Emperor had also personally sent a message to the Yi Clan in the northwest, the Ye Clan in the northeast, and also an ancient aristocratic clan—the Xuan Clan—from the south. He had requested them to collaborate with the hunt. The Nine Thearchs Clans bonded together, and they were currently facing Sin Island’s spy. It was natural for them to cooperate. The Buddha Emperor and Night Emperor had personally ordered the troops in their regions to be mobilized to conduct a search and hunt. The ancient aristocratic Xuan Clan was also very cooperative as they sent their clan’s Young Clan Head, Young Master Xuan Ling, to take charge of this matter personally. They had also mobilized millions of troops to conduct the search.

The entire northern part of the East Imperial Continent had been turned into turmoil because of Jiang Yi alone. The several layers of the lands of Camel Mountain had also been scraped off. Something made the Wu Clan rejoiced... they had found Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu, and they weren’t captured. Rather, they had found a bandit stronghold in the vicinity and hid inside Wu Ni’s spatial artifact in order to escape from Jiang Yi’s pursuit.

When Wu Ni returned to the Flood Martial City and learned that Ru Lao had been killed and the two Heaven Fate Ships had been destroyed, he grew apprehensive inwardly. In addition, he was in full admiration of Ji Tingyu.

Ru Lao’s combat strength was very strong and was the strongest among all of his bodyguards. Yet, he was killed by Jiang Yi. Needless to say, Jiang Yi’s overall combat strength had reached Five-Star. Wu Ni would have been dead by now if he hadn’t listened to Ji Tingyu.

Ji Tingyu’s strategy was very brilliant. It was to let the Camel Mountain become chaotic while they seek survival amongst chaos. The most dangerous place would be the safest place. The Camel Mountain had so many mountain bandits’ strongholds. Jiang Yi would certainly not have the time to search every one of them and would never expect them not to flee to the Flood Martial City but rather be hiding in the vicinity.

Jiang Yi was not a god!

The spatial artifact was a unique small space. Regardless of how he tracked them, he would never be able to locate them. They would be completely safe so long as they waited for a few days for the Wu Clan’s expert to arrive.

“Elder sister and elder brother-in-law have been captured?”

Wu Ni immediately turned angry when he learned of what happened to Wu Ying’er. He turned a jade table beside him into fine powders with a slam of his palm. He inhaled deeply and looked towards Ji Tingyu while gnashing his teeth, “Who is Su Ruoxue? Why does Jiang Yi want to use my elder sister and elder brother-in-law to exchange for Su Ruoxue?”

“Su Ruoxue...”

Traces of complexity appeared on Ji Tingyu’s beautiful face. Her eyes had also revealed a trace of sadness and loneliness.

Back then, Jiang Yi had become enemies with the alliance army of the six factions in Stellarsky Continent just for Su Ruoxue without hesitation. He went against an army of a million soldiers in the outskirts of Summer Rain City, alone with just his sword. Today, he caused havoc in the East Imperial Continent and became enemies with the Nine Thearchs Clans just for Su Ruoxue. A strand of dense envy and jealousy welled up within her heart.

Why wasn’t this woman her?

Originally, she could have a chance to be in love together with Jiang Yi. Ultimately, they became life-long enemies.

“Su Ruoxue is the woman that Jiang Yi loved the most!”

She sighed faintly before explaining. “Back then when Jiang Yi had destroyed the Martial Arts Hall’s branch hall in the Stellarsky Continent, I brought Su Ruoxue to Chief Hall with me. She is currently in the Quiet Peace Temple located in the small city, the Quiet Peace City, at the eastern side of the North Thearch City. Young Master, quickly send people out to bring Su Ruoxue to the Wu Castle. No harm must be made to Su Ruoxue. Jiang Yi is just a grasshopper that had been tied up by a string so long as this woman is in our hands. No matter how he hops, he would never escape out of our palms.”

“Alright!”

Wu Ni eyes brightened up before yelled with a deep voice, “Tu Lao, head over to the Quiet Peace Temple immediately and bring Su Ruoxue back to Chief Hall.”

The Quiet Peace City was a hundred miles into the east of the North Thearch City. On the surface, the Quiet Peace Temple was a monastery, but in reality, it was a secret stronghold of the Wu Clan. Su Ruoxue had been staying in the Quiet Peace Temple safely, and Jiang Yi would never dare to go into the vicinity of the North Thearch City. They would at least be able to exchange Wu Ying’er and Hong Po back so long as Su Ruoxue was in their hands.

“Yes!”

Tu Lao clasped his fist at once as he brought dozens of men and withdrew hurriedly. He immediately left using the teleportation array.

Ji Tingyu paused for a moment before speaking, “Young Master, let’s return to the North Thearch City as well. I need detailed information on Jiang Yi in order to formulate a plan to capture and kill him.”

“I am not returning!”

Wu Ni waved his hand resolutely. “I will never return unless I dismember Jiang Yi into thousands of pieces. I don’t have the face to return and see King Father and Grandfather.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Ji Tingyu shook her head faintly, “You wouldn’t be able to kill Jiang Yi like this. Four days had passed. Yet, we still have no news of Jiang Yi with the help of so many people. If this goes on, we wouldn’t be able to locate him even after a hundred years. Jiang Yi can use the Heaven Evasion which will allow him to come and leave without any traces. Young Master, have you forgotten about how he had transformed himself into Bai Yi? He possessed an extremely formidable ability that could alter his appearance and his soul spirit aura presence. Even if he is at the Flood Martial City right now, we would never be able to discover him even if we walked past him.”

“Uh...”

Wu Ni’s complexion turned dull. Ji Tingyu was right. If it wasn’t because of Jiang Yi’s astral wind attack, he wouldn’t have realized Bai Yi was Jiang Yi even to this point. This ability was too terrifying. Altering his outer appearance couldn’t be counted as anything but altering his soul spirit aura presence? With this ability, Jiang Yi was able to transform into anyone. Even god wouldn’t be able to locate him.

“Go back?”

Wu Ni started to hesitate. This time, he was greatly humiliated. The battle in the vicinity of Buddha Mountain had helped him to establish his no.1 young master position in the continent. Originally, he could return to the North Thearch City high-spiritedly and receive the clan’s acknowledgment and praises. Furthermore, he would have the opportunity to become the Young Clan Head. But before he returned, he had been intercepted by Jiang Yi. It didn’t matter how many men had died but, Jiang Yi ultimately attacked the Flood Martial City and brought Wu Ying’er and Hong Po away.

This incident was so significant that it had alerted his Grandfather and shook the whole East Imperial Continent. The reputation he had established after much difficulty had hit rock bottom again and was being trampled by Jiang Yi ruthlessly. This had greatly tarnished the Wu Clan’s reputation. This time if he was to return home, he might even be slapped by his father, let alone becoming the Young Clan Head.

“Young Master, don’t be worried. The fault is not with you!”

Ji Tingyu saw the worries Wu Ni had. She then said softly, “Actually, when something bad happens, you should not escape from it. Rather, you should confront it bravely. You have yet to completely comprehend the Nine Thearchs Clans’ spirit. It’s alright to fail. What matters is that you have failed, but you chose to escape instead of acknowledging your failure! What the clan, your father, and your grandfather wished to see most is for you to return courageously and admit your defeat while calmly looking for ways to handle this matter, instead of hiding from them.

“If you wish to become the North King or North Thearch, you will need to have the traits of a leader. What are the traits of a leader? That is to face any form of situation bravely and calmly while having the courage to be responsible for the failure and lead the clan to resolve the issue. If an incident is to happen and your grandfather and father are to panic, the pillar of the clan would collapse, turning the clan into a sheet of loose sand. Understand?”

“Oh... I understand!”

Ji Tingyu’s words were like a hammer as it struck Wu Ni and made him sober. His complexion gradually regained his composure. Very quickly, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go, return to the North Thearch City. Since Jiang Yi wish to play, we shall accompany him and have some fun this time.”
