Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

The Stellarsky Continent was very peaceful, frightfully peaceful!

Before Patriarch Ling and Jiang Yi were found, no one dared to make a reckless move. What if Jiang Yi was hiding in ambush and waiting for the influential factions to make a move?

Of course, it might too peaceful on the surface. There was actually this turbulence beneath the surface, and the Divine Martial Kingdom was in the worst scenario!

Xia Tingwei was dead, and the entire kingdom was in turmoil. When Xia Tingwei went missing previously, Jiang Bieli was overseeing Monarch City; and so there wasn’t much of a commotion.

Xia Tingwei went missing previously, but he was dead this time. He had died in the hands of the Divine Martial Kingdom’s nemesis, Jiang Yi. The worst thing was… Jiang Bieli went missing!

Not only Jiang Bieli but also the entire Jiang Clan in Jiang Yi City had also mysteriously vanished. For this campaign, Xia Tingwei was suspicious of Jiang Bieli; and so he didn’t summon Jiang Bieli even once. Neither did he summon Jiang Bieli to join the battle. When the battle started, all the eyes from the various clans in the Divine Martial Kingdom were all looking over at Summer Rain City. No one was paying any attention to Jiang Bieli.

When Xia Tingwei’s news of death came, the entire Monarch City was in a panic. Everyone then thought of Jiang Bieli, and if they invited him to oversee the city, Jiang Yi wouldn’t come and raze Monarch City, right?

However, when they sent people to Jiang Yi City, they discovered that none of the Jiang clansmen were in the liege lord’s residence. Jiang Bieli had already gathered his clansmen and vanished several days ago.

This news was just like a disaster after another. The Divine Martial Kingdom no longer had any Vajra Realm martial experts and the king was dead, coupling with the fact that only less than 200 of the 2000 Soul Travel Realm experts had returned after the campaign at the Great Xia Kingdom.

Without a ruler, the Divine Martial Kingdom was in a desperate situation. However, the Qian and Zhan Clans were extremely inspired. If Jiang Yi was to sweep across the continent or if he was to conquer the continent, their clans would surely rise along and be glorious for tens of thousands of years.

The Saint Spirit Kingdom was also in a desperate situation as their only Vajra Realm martial expert had perished, and the kingdom was now like a defenseless beauty. Jiang Yi was probably able to eradicate their kingdom by himself, and the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s King was praying that Jiang Yi and Patriarch Ling would never return.

Ling Xue wasn’t able to sleep for the past few months, and she was skinnier than a dried-up flower. If Patriarch Ling had won, the Azure Dragon Empire would be able to restore their glorious days. If Patriarch Ling had perished, the empire would surely be annihilated if one was to look at Jiang Yi’s nature.

“Report…”

Ling Xue was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown. She was seated in a small chamber while her imagination was running wild. A general walked in with large strides and reported with a grave expression, “Your Highness, Jiang Yi has appeared, and he is east of the Divine Martial Kingdom. He is currently flying towards the Great Xia Kingdom.”

Pa!

The document that Ling Xue was holding onto suddenly dropped onto the table. Even someone as shrewd as her couldn’t remain calm as her charming face turned pale.

She stared blankly for some time before she regained her senses while she revealed agony from the corner of her mouth. She waved her hand and dismissed this general. She then laid back on the purple-gold throne and closed her eyes as all strength went away from her body.

Jiang Yi had appeared!

This meant that Patriarch Ling was dead. Otherwise, with Patriarch Ling’s character, he wouldn’t let Jiang Yi roam around the continent so openly.

If the patriarch was dead, that meant that the alliance army was defeated—utterly crushed!

Defeat would normally represent death. Ling Xue wasn’t afraid of death, but the crucial thing was the Azure Dragon Empire which had been existent for nearly 20,000 years might be completely annihilated in the long-running history.

“Report! Xiao Longwang and Sha Di are here. They are requesting for an audience with Your Highness.”

Just as Ling Xue was at a complete loss, an old eunuch came in to report. Ling Xue forcefully invigorated herself and spoke, “Let them in.”

Shh-shh-shh!

Xiao Longwang and Sha Di arrived quickly, and it was obvious that they came through the teleportation array as soon as they received the news. The two of them had gloomy expression, and when they entered, they casually bowed with cupped hands and sat down before Ling Xue could speak. Xiao Longwang spoke urgently, “Your Highness, Jiang Yi is back. I am sure you heard of this news, right? The two of us are here to ask if Your Highness has any good idea. With that kid’s nature, he would probably march north in the next few days…”

Sha Di remained silent and cast a look at Ling Xue. The Northern Mang Kingdom, the Northern Liang Kingdom, and the Azure Dragon Empire were like grasshoppers on a rope. If Jiang Yi was to march north, no one would be spared.

“What other methods do I have?”

Ling Xue laughed bitterly and said, “The Patriarch is missing, and not even his corpse has surfaced yet. Jiang Yi’s strength was increasing too quickly. If Your Honors don’t even have the certainty to kill him, then the Empire is helpless as well. You should know that Jiang Yi has the Massacre Intent. Apart from Vajra Realm martial experts, no number of soldiers sent at him would be of any use. He is basically not afraid of getting surrounded as well…”

In the face of absolute strength, no amount of schemes and plots would matter. Ling Xue might have plenty of scheme and plans, but none of them were going to be useful.

“Not afraid of getting surrounded…”

Xiao Longwang and Sha Di looked at each other laughed bitterly. Let alone Soul Travel Realm experts—even if regular Vajra Realm martial experts rushed at him, they would just be throwing their lives away.

Ling Xue muttered for a moment and lifted her eyebrows before speaking, “Why not, let’s go ask for the Martial Arts Hall for help? The Martial Arts Hall has defrauded us this time, and they wouldn’t just leave us for dead, right? Since the Martial Arts Hall disseminated the information to us and suppressed Shui Youlan and the old monk, it meant that they wanted Jiang Yi dead as well. There might be an opportunity to get them to work together with us.”

“Martial Arts Hall!”

Xiao Longwang and Sha Di’s eyes lit up. They stood up and nodded at the same time. “Does Princess Ling Xue know where the Martial Arts Hall’s headquarters is? Let us go visit the Main Hall Master at the main hall to make a plan together.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Ling Xue laughed bitterly and said, “No one apart from the Martial Arts Branch Hall Masters would know the location of the main hall, right? I don’t think even Shui Youlan would know? Your Honors, do not be in a hurry. I will get someone to transmit a message to the Martial Arts Branch Hall Master in Stellarsky City. As long as the Martial Arts Hall is willing to make a move, there is still a chance in this matter.”

“Alright!”

Xiao Longwang nodded and spoke quickly, “Since this is the case, let’s transmit a message to the Saint Spirit Kingdom and the Divine Martial Kingdom. It will be more spontaneous if our five factions were to ally and discuss with the Martial Arts Hall.”

“That ought to be the case.”

Ling Xue’s beautiful eyes were burning with a trace of hope again. If the Martial Arts Hall was willing to get involved, then the Azure Dragon Empire might not be eradicated. Ten thousand years ago—if it wasn’t for the Martial Arts Hall, the empire would already be annihilated. This time, they probably wouldn’t look on as the empire got extinguished, right?

…

“Jiang Yi is back! He is currently at the Divine Martial Kingdom!”

The news blew across the whole Divine Martial Kingdom like a breeze in spring. The entire Monarch City was in complete chaos, and most of the clans had already sent out their descendants and shifted their assets. If Jiang Yi was going straight for Monarch City, the entire Monarch City would probably flow with a blood river again.

The Xia clansmen were all panicking. Xia Tian and the other princes were all striving and looking to ascend the throne to be the next king, but now, no one dared to strive for it anymore. Instead, some princes started to escape secretly. If Jiang Yi—this killer god—was to come, the Xia Clan would probably be completely slaughtered without any exception.

Fortunately, the news came quickly, and Jiang Yi didn’t stay behind in the Divine Martial Kingdom as he flew straight for the Great Xia Kingdom. The Yazi Beast was too fast and took just one day to fly across half of the Divine Martial Kingdom. Everywhere Jiang Yi passed through, the cities below would all be trembling in fear—as Jiang Yi had a nickname as the Bloodthirsty Demon.

It was deep into the night, and Jiang Yi didn’t stop. His heart was bound for home and didn’t have the mood to seek trouble with the Divine Martial Kingdom. He wanted to make sure that Jiang Xiaonu and the others were safe before he decided which path he was going to take in the future.

Swish!

There was a figure that emerged from the forest below and constantly waved his hand. He shouted from far away, “Young Master Yi, Young Master Yi, it’s me!”

“Young Master Yi?”

There were only a few groups of people who addressed him in this manner. Generally, only the Zhan and the Qian Clan’s members addressed him this way. Jiang Yi took a glance and immediately revealed a smile as it was a familiar individual. It was Qian Wanguan’s secret guard at the college, Liu Lao.

Swish!

Jiang Yi asked the Yazi Beast to hover in mid-air while he jumped down. Liu Lao flew over and knelt on one knee before he spoke, “Young Master Yi. Clan Head asked me to send two pieces of information to you. Firstly, Jiang Bieli had vanished along with his clansmen. Secondly, Young Lady Xiaonu took along Queen Ruoxue, Young Clan Head, and Young Master Wushuang to escape the pursuit of Patriarch Ling. During this period of time, our two clans have activated all our scouts and searched for a long time… but still wasn’t able to find their whereabouts.”

“What?”

Jiang Yi’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t mind if Jiang Bieli went missing or not. The problem was after so many days and with so many scouts, they still weren’t able to find Jiang Xiaonu and the rest?
