Novel Bin Chapter 1222 - Huge Wind
Chapter 1222: Huge Wind
Mei Ru’s demonic arts were frightening. If one was not an expert in spiritual attacks, there was no way they would be able to fend themselves against her demonic arts. Once she entered the enemy’s mind, she could keep releasing poisonous fog to surround their soul spirits. If that person did not know any strong spiritual attacks, they would have no way of subduing Mei Ru.
The savages’ defense abilities were so strong. Jiang Yi guessed that the Divinity Slayer would only injure them. However, the savages’ spiritual defense was quite weak. Mei Ru could control more than ten savages easily. If the priestess and the other savages’ soul spirits were about the same, then they could easily be controlled.
The problem... was that the priestess was quite different from the savages.
That was why Jiang Yi did not dare to attack carelessly. He needed to observe her on the journey. If an opportunity presented itself, he had to strike quickly. If there was none, he would wait until after they entered Saint Emperor City. Otherwise, he risked alerting the important people of the tribe. Since the entire group was stuck in the mystic realm and unable to run away, they would then only be waiting for death.
It was a pity that after traveling for several days, passing through three different desolate regions, and meeting more than ten groups of beasts; Chui Ye, Jiang Yi and the rest did not even get to strike. The Brave Warrior in front of them managed to subdue the enemies easily. The formation was not messed up even once. Jiang Yi did not even have the chance to get near to the beautiful priestess.
There were two hundred people near the priestess, always guarding her. They carried wooden spears in their hands. If Jiang Yi dared to even get close, he would surely be stabbed by the wooden spears. If he was not killed, he would at least be seriously injured.
Why don’t we think of a way to allow Mei Ru to control these thousand people?
As Jiang Yi rode his battle tiger, he scanned the warriors around him. At last, he had no choice but to give up. He could not tell how strong the priestess was. If he was not careful, he might alert her. The wise thing to do was to wait.
Five days... eight days later, the big tribe had already traveled more than halfway. Throughout this period, they did not even meet a single strong attack. The formation remained in place. Jiang Yi was so close to giving up.
On the ninth day, things finally changed!
The group arrived at the base of a tall mountain. They got orders from in front to stay wary. They said that there were many dangers near this mountain. The entire group was to rest for three days. If they could make it past the mountain unharmed, the rest of the journey would be relatively peaceful.
When Jiang Yi received this news, he celebrated. To him, the more danger they were in, the better. The best thing that could happen was that the priestess herself fought or got injured. This would give Jiang Yi the opportunity to get close to her and subdue her.
“What kind of dangers are there in here?”
Chui Ye got more than ten of his subordinates to stay on high alert. The rest were allowed to rest. Jiang Yi used this chance to question Chui Ye, but Chui Ye had never been here himself. There were a lot of things he still did not know. Jiang Yi had no choice but to sit cross-legged and rest, waiting for the group to set off again three days later.
...
While Jiang Yi was on the way to Saint Emperor City, something earth-shaking happened on the outside!
The news first traveled out from Fire Beacon Continent. The Battle Thearch, North Thearch, and the others had been attacked. The various clans were told to remain alert and be prepared to gather an army and send them out for battle.
As the news spread, the continent got busy. The only people who would dare to attack the North Thearch and Battle Thearch were Ao Lu and Jiang Yi. Many disciples of the East Imperial Continent felt outraged. Each of them began to holler in rage, saying that they wanted to massacre the Endless Deep Sea. Even more people felt worried, afraid that the alliance army would fail this time and that they would not be able to recover from such a loss.
Just three days ago!
An even more terrifying piece of news was spread, causing the entire East Imperial Continent to become even crazier.
The Battle Thearch and North Thearch’s army had been attacked and subdued once again on the Earth Dragon Mountain of Fire Beacon Continent. The Battle Thearch was lured out by the enemy. By the time the rest of the army found him, the Battle Thearch had already fallen off the mountain, into the Earth Dragon Lake in the east. The Battle Thearch’s corpse was full and complete. There was no faking it.
The Battle Thearch was dead!
The news spread across the entire continent as quickly as wildfire. Then, it spread throughout Stellarsky Domain as well. At once, everyone flew into a panic. Countless people felt like they were watching the sky fall, watching the end of the world.
When the Buddha Thearch went missing all those years ago and his Vajra Scepter appeared, the news did not spread as quickly. Even if people talked about it in secret, a lot of people did not believe that the Buddha Thearch would fall. This time was different. The Battle Thearch really did die, and this was verified. Tang Shenji and company were already on the way back to the continent. They had with them the Battle Thearch’s corpse!
The Battle Emperor fainted on the spot. The Mystic Thearch City was adorned in black and white. All the disciples of the Zhan Clan were in mourning. Many young masters of the clan rushed out of Mystic Thearch City in a frenzy, throwing attacks at the mountain range and shouting to the skies, shaking the earth.
Many clans that had been secretly under the Zhan Clan’s control also hung up white cloths on their gates. The Nine Thearch Clans did the same. There was no doubt left now.
The news had already been spreading for three days. Many people still found it hard to believe. How could the Battle Thearch be dead? His powers were god-like. Who could kill him? The Battle Thearch was the continent’s sky. Now, it was like the sky had fallen.
After the battle on Sin Island; the North Thearch, Battle Thearch, Sword Thearch, and Beast Thearch’s names became well-known. They were seen as the guardians of the continent, the true heroes. They were viewed as having limitless powers.
Now that a god had died—and was murdered in fact, the Mystic Thearch’s prophesy of a calamity was coming true. Everyone felt like the sky had darkened by several shades. It was like Stellarsky Domain was being destroyed piece by piece. The human race was going to perish!
The three strongest formidable martial artists in the continent were the North Thearch, Battle Thearch, and Buddha Thearch. The Buddha Thearch, Night Empress, Yin Thearch, and Xuan Thearch had already been missing for so long. Even at a time like this, they remained hidden. Many people began to believe the rumors that they were dead.
The Nine Thearchs!
Four were missing, two were dead, and three remained. The North Thearch, Beastmen Continent, and Sword Thearch were still in Fire Beacon Continent with a group of Demigods, chasing down the murderer. If the three of them died as well, the continent would really be finished.
Fortunately, they received news from that continent today. The North Thearch and the others failed in their chase. They were turning back. Another source told them that the Sword Thearch was on his way back, too. According to him, the person who killed the Battle Thearch had already used Heaven Evasion. He appeared out of nowhere and killed someone, then appeared somewhere else, and killed someone else. They could not chase him at all. More than ten Demigods were already dead!
Who could use Heaven Evasion?
Such a person was known throughout the Stellarsky Domain. In the entire domain, only he was capable of Heaven Evasion. What’s more, his treasure could also use Heaven Evasion. The continent was flipped upside down. Every clan was panicking.
The masterminds were confirmed. Without a doubt, they were Ao Lu and Jiang Yi!
The two of them had very clear motives. Ao Lu wanted the demons to be restored to glory. Jiang Yi wanted to control the world just like the Mystic Thearch did. Thus, the two of them joined forces to defeat the Nine Thearch Clans and completely cripple the human race.
In such a short time, the Stellarsky Continent descended into chaos. All the thearchs, emperors, and rulers of the human continents teleported to the continent, prepared to receive the North Thearch. They wanted to come together to discuss the next step.
In the face of chaos, the human race was starting to band together.
...
The East Imperial Continent had relations with many other places, but the Snow Region remained peaceful nonetheless. In recent times, the Saint Empress allowed the people from Jiang Yi’s two cities—as well as everyone who was on good terms with Jiang Yi—to stay inside the Heaven Hidden Sect. The Heaven Hidden Sect’s huge array formation was activated.
The Heaven Hidden Sect was acting like it was ready to fight an oncoming enemy, and yet the Saint Empress sat in a pavilion by the lake, relaxed. There was a breeze coming from the lake, which caused the Saint Empress’ dress to dance around. She narrowed her eyes and smiled bitterly at Fifth Eldress. “There’s a huge wind. A bunch of demons is dancing around, and the mastermind is finally showing his face!”
“Haha!”
In the Mystic Martial City in the Endless Deep Sea, Ao Lu smiled. He turned to the Shadow Emperor and Qianqian, who were standing beside him, and got to his feet. In a low voice, he said, “We’re not afraid that the mastermind would show his dirty claws. We’re only afraid that he would not turn up. Since he has shown his face, things will be easy to settle from now on. We’ll just wait and see if Jiang Yi makes it out of the Black Sea alive.”
