Chapter 1162: It’s Ao Lu?
Tsk! Tsk!
At the Beast Thearch Tu Xian’s command, countless members of the Tu Clan emerged and morphed into Beastmen. They sent forth essence force attacks from their palms and crazily attacked the city castles and pavilions. In just one wave, the entire Beast Thearch City had become ruins.
Buzz!
Below the ruins, numerous places lit up. Those places became pillars of light as they unanimously shot up into the sky. Combined with the Multitude Beast Array in the sky, it was like a seamless spider web; a terrifying aura enveloped the entire city.
“What kind of array is this?”
Jiang Yi instinctively felt that there was potentially-fatal, imminent danger. He could have used Heaven Evasion and fled before the array was formed. However, with Yi Chan, Fifth Eldress, and Li Feiyu still in the city plaza; how could he abandon them and leave?
“Divine Lock Array?”
Yi Chan had long returned to her original looks. However, she still wore her ghost king face mask. She saw the array in the sky, her face full of shock and terror. She hurriedly shouted, “Senior Tu, please do not be rash. Let’s find out what has happened first. If we destroy one another now, the mastermind would have achieved his goal. The legacy of the Tu Clan cannot be destroyed within a day. Could you allow me to make some inquiries first?”
Tu Xian glanced at Yi Chan, his expression becoming less ugly. He had also morphed and had become a huge dragonman. The top half of his body was that of a dragon while the bottom half was that of a man. His skin was covered with golden scales while his tail was that of a huge dragon’s. His body emanated a horrifying beast aura. His icy-cold eyes fell on Fifth Eldress, making her shiver with fear.
“Alright, you can go and ask that lad. If he does not give me an explanation, I will die here with him.” Tu Xian coldly spoke. Yi Chan nodded and flew up to the Mystic Divine Palace, entering its huge gate.
After Yi Chan entered the Mystic Thearch Pavilion, she immediately looked at Jiang Yi. However, Yin Ruobing interjected and said, “Big Sister Chan, you cannot blame Jiang Yi. The Tu Clan went berserk first. Jiang Yi came here and couldn’t find you and so grew anxious. He only wanted the Beast Thearch to come out and meet him. However, men from the Tu Clan started to scold Jiang Yi and then activated the Multitude Beast Array to attack the Mystic Thearch Palace. Jiang Yi had actually shown restrain multiple times...”
Jiang Yi had previously spoken a few words to Yin Ruobing. Yin Ruobing was extremely bright and had guessed what had happened. Yi Chan’s expression revealed a sliver of helplessness. She slightly sighed and said, “Our enemy is too scary. They have taken everything into account! This time, we had not even reached the Beast Thearch City and had found a black-robed man holding Uncle Qian Gui hostage. We were just about to go and rescue him when that black-robed man used a mysterious evasion technique and disappeared.
“I asked Li Feiyu and company to go and investigate while I secretly came to the Beast Thearch City and convinced Tu Xian to join in the rescue. However, we chased for many days but failed to find that black-robed man. When we knew that this was a diversion technique, you had already started battling with the Tu Clan members...”
“En?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes become cold while his expression became extremely ugly. It was precisely because Yi Chan and the Shadow Emperor’s men had disappeared with the Beast Thearch nowhere to be found, that Jiang Yi had assumed that Yi Chan had been hurt and so became hastier. The enemy must have guessed this and so had purposely diverted Yi Chan and company away. If Yi Chan and the Beast Thearch were present, this huge battle today would probably not have taken place.
“Could Ao Lu really be the mastermind?”
The Shadow Emperor’s men had mysteriously disappeared, creating a sense of premonition in Jiang Yi. As the Shadow Emperor’s men knew Jiang Yi and company’s movements well, it was extremely easy for them to set a trap.
Furthermore, that black-robed man’s mysterious evasion technique made him even untraceable by the Beast Thearch; they were probably Demon Sovereigns from the Endless Deep Sea. There were too many Demon Sovereigns in the Endless Deep Sea; there were also too many of them who knew strange evasion mystical abilities. The Shadow Emperor himself had such ability!
“Xiaonu!”
After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Yi’s face became very ugly. That year, Ao Lu had convinced Jiang Yi to leave Jiang Xiaonu behind. Was it to hold her as a hostage? Furthermore, Ao Lu had urged Jiang Yi to go and snatch the Mystic Divine Palace; was everything premeditated?
Ao Lu had been living in the Mystic Divine Palace for hundreds of thousands of years. If he had planned for hundreds of thousands of years, this matter was huge beyond measure. How terrifying were the schemes of an old demon that had lived for more than seven hundred thousand years? It was unimaginable.
“Alright. Jiang Yi, do not say more. I will go and negotiate this matter.”
Yi Chan saw that Jiang Yi had become silent and rose as she spoke. Jiang Yi was not an idiot; he would not be made use of to fight Tu Xian to the death. He nodded and teleported Yi Chan out. As long as Tu Xian was not too overbearing, Jiang Yi did not mind; he had not suffered any loss while many from the Tu Clan had died.
Buzz!
After Yi Chan was teleported out, she flew directly towards Tu Xian. She flew in front of him, cupped her hands, and said, “Senior Tu Xian, this matter is quite fishy; we have all been duped. You should know very well how we had been diverted away, right? I guess that the younger generation of Tu Clan members had also been incited and instigated. Jiang Yi had come to the Beast Thearch City, but he did not do anything. Instead, the younger members of the Tu Clan were filled with some righteous indignation and activated the Multitude Beast Array without even exchanging a few words.
“If you do not believe it, you can ask them. Senior Tu Xian, Jiang Yi has admitted he was wrong this time. I hope that you can peacefully deal with this matter. Let’s investigate the cause of the battle this time before we decide on anything. If not, we will be causing pain to our own and gladdening the enemy.”
Tu Xian heard Yi Chan’s words and his rage subsided slightly. Especially since Yi Chan had said that Jiang Yi had admitted his wrongdoing, Tu Xian felt slightly comforted. He had also known why Jiang Yi had come this time; Yi Chan had long told him everything. This matter was most probably a misunderstanding.
He turned his gaze towards a few elders of the Tu Clan and questioned them. Those elders started to exaggerate and claimed that many things had happened. However, Tu Xian was not an idiot. He heard a few sentences and shouted, “Speak the truth. What on earth happened?”
“Uh—”
Those few Demigod elders saw that Tu Xian was angered. One of them could only say with much anguish, “We also do not know what had happened. When Jiang Yi came just now, we all inexplicably rushed forward, feeling that Jiang Yi was here to destroy the Tu Clan and to kill all of us. At that time, there was only one thought floating through our minds; that was to perish together with Jiang Yi. Hence, we activated the Multitude Beast Array...”
“Such a strange thing, could it be the demonic arts?”
Tu Xian’s eyes grew wide; to be able to affect so many people’s soul spirits in such a wide radius, that could only be the doing of powerful demonic arts.
Yi Chan, Li Feiyu, and company exchanged glances as they were panic-stricken. Li Feiyu suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Something similar had happened not long ago when we went to battle with the Long Clan. If Tu Xian hadn’t mentioned it, I might not have even recalled it. At that time, the martial artists from the She Clan had arrived to mediate. However, there was suddenly a thought surging through my brain, feeling as if the She Clan was going to join forces with the Long Clan to kill us. Hence, we started to fight with them...”
“That’s right!”
Yi Chan continued and said, “The ridiculous amount of battles that had occurred in the continent lately have all been due to trivial matters. Both sides’ martial experts could not control themselves and had become exceedingly reckless, triggering huge battles quickly; they all regretted bitterly their actions after things had subsided. It appears that there are indeed powerful demonic arts at work. It is probable that powerful demons are currently hiding in the continent, using a powerful impersonating mystical ability to release terrifying demonic arts. The aim is to make humans fall for their tricks subconsciously and to cause wars to break out!”
“It is really Ao Lu?”
Jiang Yi could hear the conversation outside clearly from within the Mystic Thearch Pavilion; his face had also turned exceptionally ugly. To be betrayed by the person one trusted the most, that feeling was terribly had to bear; furthermore, Xiaonu was still in the Endless Deep Sea.
