Chapter 1590: Burying the Hatchet
Mo Changhe was indeed rather anxious. After receiving Jiang Yi’s report, he immediately sent a message back to the Earth Emanations Sovereign. As Jiang Yi’s three wives had also been brought to Ink Feather Mystic Realm, the Earth Emanations Sovereign viewed this matter rather seriously and asked his men to convey his intentions to the Green Eagle King.
Who knew…?
The Green Eagle King went straight into seclusion upon returning to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm; no one knew if he was really in seclusion or faking it. In any case, he had ordered that without his personal instruction, no one was to enter the Young Eagle Valley. The Little Eagle King was now inside the Young Eagle Valley while Yi Chan and company were there with him; no one could leave.
The Eagle Empress personally sent a message that the people inside the Young Eagle Valley had sent word that they were very well and that the cultivating speed inside was very fast. She asked the Earth Emanations Sovereign not to worry, and once Green Eagle King came out of seclusion, she would immediately report this matter to him and send everyone back.
Since Eagle Empress herself had said this, the Earth Emanations Sovereign did not have any options left.
He knew about the Young Eagle Valley; that was the place with the thickest heaven and earth spirit energy in the entire Ink Feather Mystic Realm. There were two natural mystic realms inside as well; it was a rare opportunity that the Jiang Yi’s wives, Di Ling’er, Mo Huaisang, and Poison Spirit could cultivate in there.
After Jiang Yi received the news, he was a little lost for words; however, what could he do? Kill his way into the Ink Feather Mystic Realm? The problem was he didn’t even know where the Ink Feather Mystic Realm was. He could only suppress his feelings and emotions and wait for Green Eagle King to come out of seclusion.
This time, Jiang Yi had been hiding within the Fire Phoenix Army camp and had not ventured out. Qi Qingchen also decided to not accept any missions and for her army to rest and have time to cultivate. The Fire Phoenix Army had received many missions in the past couple of weeks, and every soldier had received a considerable amount of battle merits. They could use this opportunity to cultivate within the ten-thousand-fold and hundred-thousand-fold secret cultivation rooms or head to the various mystic realms to realize something new.
Jiang Yi went into seclusion to cultivate for a time. However, he found that cultivating heavenly powers was very slow in the Demon-Buster Valley. He kept on reminiscing of the times when he had cultivated underneath the Divine Tree, thinking to himself that after things settled down, he would make a trip to the Purgatory Mystic Realm and see if that Divine Tree was still around or not. He could also take the chance to thank that demon-race absolute formidable martial artist.
As long as one was not human, once any plant or vegetation grew sentient, any demonic beast ascended, Chaos Beasts manifested, or demon spirits receiving cultivation; all of these creatures and beings were known as the demonic race. That year, the demon race had been at loggerheads with the human race. However, after the Netherworld Race began its invasion, the two races actually joined forces against the Netherworld Race.
Unfortunately, the Netherworld Race had been too powerful. The human race had originally controlled a majority of the domains in the Heaven Domain; almost all of them were occupied by the Netherworld Race, leaving one domain where they were bitterly making their last stand now. The demon race’s domain was also completely wiped out with all the demon race’s absolute formidable martial artists all dying in battle; not one survived.
The Purgatory Mystic Realm’s Teleportation Formation had been destroyed, and there was no way to teleport to the Purgatory Mystic Realm now. Jiang Yi also didn’t know how to tear through s.p.a.ce. He couldn’t possibly ask Heavenly King Long to bring him there, right? Hence, Jiang Yi could only wait for an opportunity to arise in the future.
“Forget it, I’ll go to the Primitive Mystic Realm.”
Jiang Yi previously still had one chance to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm; that was the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s gift after he had won the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament. He had thought of using it further down the road. Now that he was already at the Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d Realm and his quintessence had reached the Entry Stage, it wasn’t considered a waste to enter now anymore.
He informed Qi Qingchen as he left and walked out of the Fire Phoenix Army camp.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Once he left, countless stares and divine senses swept over him; everyone was looking at him like he was a monster. He was rather vexed by this and was secretly thankful he had not walked out sooner; he would have been even more irritated by all the attention.
“My Lord!”
Reaching one of the other castles, groups of Demon-Buster Army soldiers respectfully knelt down and greeted. Jiang Yi was still not used to this as he waved his hand and said, “How can I get to the Primitive Mystic Realm? Someone, lead the way.”
“This way, my Lord!”
One junior captain hurriedly walked ahead as Jiang Yi followed to the second floor. After winding down a corridor, they reached a side hall. After Jiang Yi entered and looked around, his face grew cold as he looked at the junior captain and said, “You have a death wish?”
There was nothing in this side hall; it definitely wasn’t the way to the Primitive Mystic Realm.
Jiang Yi’s words scared the junior captain witless. He hurriedly genuflected and said, “Please do not be angry, Lord Jiang. Commander Bai and Commander Qiu asked me to bring you here. They said that they want to see you and apologize to you.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Yi nodded as he walked to the host’s seat and sat down. He then looked at the junior captain as he said, “Ask them to hurry up and scram in.”
Shh-shh-shh!
Hurried footsteps could be heard outside as Bai Ditian and Qiu Ren walked in cowardly. They looked very awkward and didn’t dare to close the side hall’s door as well. After they walked in front of Jiang Yi, they took deep breaths as they stared at Jiang Yi’s icy-cold face, gritted their teeth, and genuflected. Bai Ditian said, “Jiang Yi, we were in the wrong before; if you want to hit or punish us, we have nothing to say. We just hope that you will let bygones be bygones.”
Jiang Yi was still expressionless as his icy-cold eyes looked at the duo and didn’t say a word. He thought about the situation for a while and understood what was going on.
It was obvious!
White River King and Heaven Desert King had not brought these two young masters back because they wanted the two of them to apologize and seek forgiveness from Jiang Yi. The demon race Supreme Thearch had promised to protect Jiang Yi for ten years; no one dared to touch him in these ten years. However, Jiang Yi could touch any one of them; and the White River King and Heaven Desert King were now fearful.
Based on Jiang Yi’s track record, the two believed that Jiang Yi would definitely seek vengeance; if he went to the White River Domain and Heaven Desert Domain and started to kill indiscriminately, that would be the end of them.
Since this matter had arisen because of Bai Ditian ad Qiu Ren, the duo naturally had to be the ones to settle this grudge. The two were very smart; they didn’t dare to find Jiang Yi in the Fire Phoenix Army camp as they were afraid that Jiang Yi would kill them in a fit of rage. There were many formidable martial artists in this castle while the two Heavenly Kings resided in a castle just behind this one; Jiang Yi couldn’t possibly kill them here, right?
In reality…!
Jiang Yi would have forgotten about them if they hadn’t appeared. So many things had happened recently: Yi Chan and company had been safely rescued while Heavenly King You had been killed. Jiang Yi’s rage had more or less subsided.
Jiang Yi also forgot that the two were still alive; if they had gone back to their domains, Jiang Yi definitely would not have stirred up any more trouble. He didn’t like to cause trouble and wasn’t the type to seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
However, since the two had come here on their own accord, Jiang Yi was naturally not going to let them off easily. He didn’t say anything as he coldly looked at the two of them. The two young masters knelt as their legs grew numb, and their faces grew pale; Jiang Yi still did not seem to have any intention of speaking.
Half an hour, one hour… one and a half hours!
Men in many nearby side halls had long realized that something was up in this side hall and swept their divine senses over. As more and more divine senses swept over, Bai Ditian and Qiu Ren both wanted to die at that moment. They had been afraid of Jiang Yi attacking them and hadn’t closed the door; at this moment, they actually wished that Jiang Yi thrashed and hit them now.
After yet another hour, Jiang Yi finally spoke. He said indifferently, “Hit or punish you guys? How will that work? You two can offer up suggestions; don’t say I am not lenient!”
The two hurriedly wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Since Jiang Yi had said this, that meant that this issue could be discussed. As long as Jiang Yi did not kill them, everything was negotiable. White River King and Heaven Desert King had left the two of them behind to let bygones be bygones.
Bai Ditian thought about it and then exchanged a few words with Qiu Ren via voice transmissions. He then gritted his teeth and said, “A hundred million divine roots and ten supreme-grade divine artifacts. We hope that, Jiang Yi, you will spare us this time.
“En?”
Jiang Yi’s eyebrows rose. He knew that the duo would definitely go big; he didn’t expect them to start with a hundred million divine roots and ten supreme-grade divine artifacts? Were the two clans that wealthy?
Jiang Yi would naturally not reject gifts like that. Jiang Yi’s ring flashed as a headless long spear appeared. He caressed it gently as he said coldly, “Do I look as if I am lacking supreme-grade divine artifacts? This long spear is reputed to be very powerful; I wonder if I pierce it on your bodies, could it penetrate your supreme-grade divine artifact battle armors?”
