Chapter 1527: Purgatory Mystic Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Jiang Yi decided to kill You Tianni, he had already planned for the worst.
There were things that men ought to do; there were things that men should never do.
Just as he himself had said—if he didn’t kill try to kill You Tianni and allowed You Tianni to escape back to the Demon-Buster Army camp, would his pet.i.tion and report be effective? You Tianni would still be living life to its fullest; no one would be able to touch him.
Although it was said that even ten years was not too late for taking revenge, Jiang Yi was never the type of person who could hold it in for so long. Since he had decided to kill You Tianni, he would not care about the consequences; he would act first and face the music later!
The music had indeed come with the arrival of the three commanders-in-chief; the consequences of his recklessness had come. That the Wintry Sovereign was not able to protect him… Jiang Yi did not begrudge him. After all, Jiang Yi had killed so many people. While the Wintry Sovereign was an Earth Domain formidable martial artist, he was not a commander-in-chief of the Demon-Buster Army.
Jiang Yi ultimately did not decide on fighting to the death… not because he was afraid of dying, but more because of Poison Spirit!
Although this traitor of the Phantom Race had followed Jiang Yi for only a short amount of time, the duo had experienced so many life-threatening events together; Jiang Yi treated Poison Spirit as his comrade and no longer as a soul slave.
If Jiang Yi battled, he would definitely die. The Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen would not be able to protect him; Qi Qingchen might accidentally be hurt as well while the Poison Spirit would die with Jiang Yi. So what if they could bring a few of the Demon-Buster Army men with them to the grave?
Of course…
Jiang Yi still held on to a sliver of hope. The Purgatory Mystic Realm was the number-one horrifying mystic realm in the Earth Domain; even Qi Qingchen would only be able to survive two days in it. However, since Qi Qingchen could endure for two days, that meant Jiang Yi still had hope; he had the Sword Emanations King with him!
No one wanted to die; Jiang Yi was the same. He still had many things to accomplish: he had to protect a few wives and also the Stellarsky Domain; he had to rescue Yi Piaopiao and Jiang Xiaonu and also fight with the Green Eagle King!
Heavenly King Wu’s honesty had satisfied Jiang Yi. He decided to make a wager and head to the Purgatory Mystic Realm. Before going there, he intended to return Poison Spirit’s soul seed to him and ask Qi Qingchen to take care of Poison Spirit so that he could survive.
Jiang Yi kept the Sword Emanations King inside his interspatial ring as he stored his Fire Dragon Sword as well. Under the personal ‘escort’ of Heavenly King Long, they went to the Teleportation Formation as everyone teleported back to the Demon-Buster Valley.
After returning to the Demon-Buster Valley, Heavenly King Wu ordered for all the Teleportation Formations to be sealed; they could only be unsealed after Jiang Yi went to the Purgatory Mystic Realm.
This way, even the Wintry Sovereign would not be able to bring Jiang Yi forcibly away. Furthermore, Heavenly King Wu had asked Heavenly King Long to keep a watch on Jiang Yi and to personally bring him to the Purgatory Mystic Realm once a day had pa.s.sed.
Heavenly King You was very satisfied with Jiang Yi’s punishment. Jiang Yi indeed had many tricks up his sleeves; he could even control the Sword Emanations Race beings? However, his level of attainment was still extremely low. In the Heavenly King You’s eyes, Jiang Yi would not be able to even last a day there before he was killed. Heavenly King You himself had gone to the Purgatory Mystic Realm before and knew how terrifying that place was.
After Jiang Yi returned, he brought Poison Spirit back to their castle as he went into seclusion to recuperate fully. The Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen also followed Jiang Yi to his castle. However, as Jiang Yi was deep in seclusion, Qi Qingchen could only recuperate outside as she waited for Jiang Yi to come out of seclusion.
The armies had returned as well!
The entire Demon-Buster Army camp was in an uproar. You Tianni had been brought back first. However, he had been crippled and didn’t stay long in the Demon-Buster Valley as he was immediately teleported away; no one knew where he went. However, looking at the state You Tianni was in, he was destined to be a cripple his entire life and would never set foot in this place ever again.
After the Heaven-Splitting Army and Fire Phoenix Army had returned from the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm and spread the news of what had happened, all the formidable martial artists in the Demon-Buster Valley were shaken to their core. One thing was certain—Jiang Yi was now famous.
Jiang Yi’s name and reputation now suppressed that of all the young masters; probably only the Little Eagle King and Qi Qingchen’s could rival him. News of what had happened would also soon spread throughout the entire Earth Domain. Regardless of whether Jiang Yi could come out from the Purgatory Mystic Realm this time or not, he was destined to be well-known throughout the ten thousand domains.
Once Yi Buhui heard the news, he immediately sent a message back to the Saint Spirit Domain. After Di Ling’er was let out from Qi Qingchen’s spatial divine item, she also looked for Di Qianjun to send a message back to the Earth Emanations Domain to report to the Earth Emanations Sovereign at once!
As for the a.s.sa.s.sination of Yi Wu and his companions, Yi Buhui was not bitter at all; he actually thought that it was splendidly done.
Yi Buhui also believed that if Yi Wu and company’s death was made known to the Phantom King, he wouldn’t mind the slightest. Jiang Yi was Yi Piaopiao’s son—what was Yi Wu in comparison? Most importantly, Jiang Yi could actually control the Sword Emanations Race and had combined forces with Poison Spirit to harm Heavenly King You. What did this mean? This meant that Jiang Yi’s value was ten, no, a hundred-fold that of Yi Wu’s!
Unfortunately…
Both the Phantom King and Earth Emanations Sovereign’s responses made Yi Buhui and Di Ling’er very disappointed. The duo did not intend to interfere in this matter. The Demon-Buster Army was very special, and its status was unique. Furthermore, even if the two of them stood forward, Heavenly King Wu would definitely not show them face as well. Their only option—if they wanted to intervene—was to attack the Demon-Buster Valley and forcibly bring Jiang Yi away. However, that would cause chaos in the Earth Domain and give the Netherworld Race an opportunity to strike!
Yi Buhui and Di Ling’er both went to Jiang Yi’s castle. However, as Jiang Yi was still in seclusion recuperating, the two of them could only wait bitterly with Qi Qingchen. The Wintry Sovereign left first, however. He went to a lavishly decorated and built castle to wait. For someone of his stature, he could not possibly stay in Jiang Yi’s castle to wait for him. Heavenly King Long—however—stood guard within Jiang Yi’s castle, watching over him. Heavenly King Long was obviously afraid that Jiang Yi would slip away.
After recuperating for twenty hours, Jiang Yi came out for a while. However, he only sent a voice transmission to Qi Qingchen asking her for help and then went back to cultivate in seclusion. He wanted to seize every opportunity he had to make himself stronger, to ensure his own survival.
He had enlisted Qi Qingchen’s help for something very simple. He needed a zither as well as a huge spatial divine item.
Finding a spatial divine item was no issue. Qi Qingchen found the Wintry Sovereign, and the latter gave his own spatial divine item to Jiang Yi. Qi Qingchen and the Wintry Sovereign also both suddenly had a ray of hope in their hearts.
Jiang Yi wanted a spatial divine item obviously to head to the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm again and take away as many Sword Emanations Race beings as he could. Heavenly King Wu had said that Jiang Yi could make all sorts of arrangements as he deemed fit; bringing a group of Sword Emanations Race beings was not against the rules. With a group of Sword Emanations Race beings protecting him, Jiang Yi could at least survive for a while longer. As for whether Jiang Yi could survive for three full days or not, the Wintry Sovereign really had no idea.
Finding a zither was even easier. Qi Qingchen personally went to the Treasure Pavilion and used her battle merits to exchange for three of the best zithers. She then returned to Jiang Yi’s castle to wait for him.
…
“Sovereign, why… are you not going to help Jiang Yi?”
In the Earth Emanations Domain—on Nameless Island, Mo Lingqiu looked with anxiety and bewilderment at the Earth Emanations Sovereign who was drinking his tea leisurely. After the Earth Emanations Sovereign still kept silent for a while, Mo Lingqiu sighed deeply and continued, “The Phantom King is also too much. He wouldn’t even bother helping his own grandson. If Jiang Yi were to die in the Purgatory Mystic Realm, wouldn’t Yi Piaopiao hate him for the rest of her life?”
“Lingqiu, you are mistaken!”
The Earth Emanations Sovereign finally spoke. He stroked his beard as he said, “It isn’t that we don’t want to help; we cannot! If we intervened with the matters of the Demon-Buster Army, that would cause chaos in the Earth Domain easily. More importantly, if the Phantom King and I went to help Jiang Yi, that might actually be harming him.”
Mo Lingqiu blinked in confusion as he asked, “Sovereign, what do you mean? You must know how horrifying the Purgatory Mystic Realm is!”
“It is horrifying; so what?”
The Earth Emanations Sovereign shook his head and said, “A true dragon has to fly on his own. An eaglet that is protected by its mother forever will never learn to fly; once it grows older, its mother would not only stop protecting it but will also push it down a cliff. The eaglet will either crash and die or learn to fly on its own!”
After the Earth Emanations Sovereign spoke, his gaze turned to the heavens as his lips trembled slightly. Using a voice only he himself could hear, he murmured, “The Heaven Domain is not going to be able to hold on for long, right? Jiang Yi… if you are really his chosen one, you have to endure this trial. If not, then let that sword find its next master…”
