Chapter 1595: Are You Here To Grab My Father?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A man and a woman. The man is a G.o.d Thearch? The woman’s battle skills make her at least a t.i.tled G.o.d Thearch.”
In Ten Thousand Saints City, Zhu Qiang received a voice transmission that caused his eyes to widen in surprise. The Ten Thousand Saints Domain was a subsidiary domain of the White River Domain. The only way to get here was by teleporting from the White River Domain. However, they had not received any messages from the White River Domain about these two people. This meant that the two of them had cut through the void to get here.
“You know my name? You must be a young master and a young mistress of a great family clan. Who are you?”
Zhu Qiang could not figure it out, but since they had referred to him by name, he had to fly out of his own castle and rush towards the Teleportation Formation. Zhu Qiang headed straight for the Star River Prefecture. The Ten Thousand Saints City was in the southwest region of the domain. Teleporting to Star River Prefecture would put him a bit closer to where he wanted to go. By the time he arrived at Star River Prefecture, Jiang Yi and his companion had not arrived yet.
He brought a group of formidable martial artists with him to wait at the city plaza. He wanted to see just what kind of saint would be as aggressive as this. They were invading the Ten Thousand Saints Domain without his master’s permission.
Buzz!
There was a bright flash of light. The Teleportation Formation finally lit up. By the time the light dissipated, Zhu Qiang and tens of other formidable martial artists focused their attention on the people standing inside. Qi Qingchen had a veil on. Obviously, this veil had some type of magic about it; the group could not see clearly through it. Jiang Yi’s face, however, looked familiar. It was just that at that moment, they were having difficulty recalling where they had seen him before.
“Are you… Jiang… Jiang Yi?”
On seeing Jiang Yi’s head of red hair, he suddenly got yanked back to reality. He turned and glanced at Qi Qingchen and then quickly recalled who they were. At once, Zhu Qiang cupped his hands and said, “Young Mistress Qingchen, Young Master Jiang Yi, so it’s the two of you. Zhu Qiang has not been a good host.”
“Jiang Yi? Qi Qingchen?”
The group of formidable martial artists’ expressions changed. Qi Qingchen was a King-Ranked martial artist and the future Wintry Sovereign. Jiang Yi was a s.a.d.i.s.tic killer, who was turning into a real demon. Yet, both of them came to Ten Thousand Saints Domain uninvited and unannounced. It was a good thing that no one had offended them, or else they might die without even knowing why.
Jiang Yi was here to look for someone, not to cause trouble!
He smiled subtly and said, “I have been rude. Young Master, we met before at the Saint Spirit Domain. I even witnessed Young Master’s formidable skills. This time, I’m here to run some errands. I’m sorry for imposing on you.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Zhu Qiang was shocked. Jiang Yi was a famous man now. He quickly cupped his hands and politely said, “Young Master Jiang is the dragon and phoenix among the crowd. You’re a natural talent. The divine song that you played remains firmly etched in my memory. Zhu Qiang does not admire or look up to many people, but Young Master Jiang, you are definitely the one I admire and look up to the most.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi smiled but did not bother to speak any more nonsense. Instead, he cut right to the chase. “I will catch up with you young masters in time to come. I need to go to Stellarsky City to see a friend of mine for now.”
“Stellarsky City?” Zhu Qiang stiffened and asked, “Who is your friend? What is his name?”
“This…”
Jiang Yi blinked, confused. Awkwardly, he said, “I don’t know his real name, but I need to go to Stellarsky City first.”
‘Mystic Thearch’ was only a nickname, and Jiang Yi did not know his real name. Regardless, he was the City Lord of Stellarsky City. Jiang Yi would naturally find out what his real name was once he got there. Zhu Qiang quickly led the way for both of them, bringing them to the Teleportation Formation which led to Stellarsky City.
Once the three of them arrived at Stellarsky City, Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan the City Lord Manor at once. However, he found something disappointing: The Mystic Thearch was not inside. What’s more, the City Lord Manor looked very cold and abandoned. There was not a single servant inside; there were only a few guards at the door.
“Eh?”
Jiang Yi’s divine senses locked in on a child in the inner yard. This was a young girl, whom Jiang Yi guessed was born not long ago. She looked to be about five or six years old. However, this was not the point. The point was that Jiang Yi could see a resemblance to the Mystic Thearch in her face.
“Young Master Jiang, you’re looking for a friend; do you have any information about him or her?”
Zhu Qiang saw that Jiang Yi was standing motionless inside the Teleportation Formation, and began to feel slightly curious. At that moment, Jiang Yi regained his clarity and explained, “He said he is the City Lord of Stellarsky City. Have there been any changes to the City Lord in Stellarsky City recently?”
“City Lord?” Zhu Qiang’s expression changed and his eyes widened as he asked, “Is your friend Xuan Ye?”
“Xuan Ye? Mystic1 Thearch?”
Jiang Yi was slightly uncertain, but he quickly thought of another response. “Where is the City Lord of Stellarsky City? Ask him to come out and see me.”
“The City Lord isn’t in.”
Zhu Qiang’s eyes lit up as he mumbled for a few moments under his breath. Then, through gritted teeth, he said, “Young Master Jiang, if your friend really is Xuan Ye, then there will be trouble. He was just thrown into the White River Domain for committing a grave error. Young Master Bai Digu instructed us specifically to arrest him…”
“What?”
Jiang Yi’s gaze hardened as he flew towards the City Lord Manor at once. The moment he entered, he shouted in a low voice, “Who knows Xuan Ye? Paint a picture of him for me.”
Zhu Qiang and Qi Qingchen followed behind him closely. Many other formidable martial artists were alerted by Jiang Yi’s sudden visit as well so they followed the trio. This was a small city, and many people did not know Zhu Qiang, Jiang Yi, or Qi Qingchen. Thus, they remained silent.
Shh-shh-shh!
The little girl in the backyard suddenly ran to Jiang Yi and looked up at him with shock. “Are you also here to grab my father?”
“Father?”
Jiang Yi stiffened. He was quite sure in his heart that this Xuan Ye was the Mystic Thearch. Since n.o.body stepped forward to paint a picture for him, he retrieved a paper and a brush and then started painting with broad strokes. Just a few moments later, he held up a character portrait. Then, he pointed at it and asked the little girl, “Is this your father?”
“Father…”
The little girl immediately burst into tears which flowed down her cheeks like streams of water. Jiang Yi’s chest tightened, and he quickly knelt down to hug the little girl. “Don’t cry, child. I am your father’s friend. I will rescue him for you, I promise!”
“Trouble!”
Zhu Qiang’s expression darkened at once. Jiang Yi was really a madman. From the looks of the situation, Xuan Ye was a very important friend of his as well.
Jiang Yi looked at the girl, who was still sobbing and who still looked horrified. Very gently, he asked, “Child, what is your name? Don’t be afraid. I am from the Stellarsky Domain. Has your father told you anything about the Stellarsky Domain?”
“Stellarsky Domain?”
The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stopped crying. Nodding profusely, she said, “Uncle, are you really from the Stellarsky Domain? My father said that that is our hometown. He even said he would bring me there to play once I get older. That’s right, Uncle, you can call me Xuan Guo’er.”
Jiang Yi was from the Stellarsky Domain. This made the little girl warm up to him immediately. It was almost as if she had found a new backbone. After thinking for a while, she looked up anxiously at Jiang Yi and said, “Uncle, go and rescue my father and my mother quickly! They were captured by bad people. Guo’er is very afraid!”
“Guo’er, don’t be afraid!”
Jiang Yi handed Xuan Guo’er to Qi Qingchen who was standing beside him. His gaze became as ferocious as a wild beast’s as he turned to Zhu Qiang and said, “Young Master Zhu, what did Xuan Ye do wrong? Who exactly arrested him? Where is he now?”
“This…”
Zhu Qiang hesitated. After all, the Ten Thousand Saints Domain was a subsidiary domain of the White River Domain. The Bai Clan was their master. If he told Jiang Yi exactly what happened, wouldn’t he be betraying his own master?
Buzz!
The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand, and at once, he placed it underneath Zhu Qiang’s neck. His killing intent became overwhelming as he said, “Zhu Qiang, you have two choices: tell me the truth or… die!”
Zhu Qiang looked at Jiang Yi’s reddened eyes and recalled how this madman killed even Heavenly King You. Who else in the Earth Domain would this madman not dare to kill? If he did not tell the truth, the Zhu Clan might be destroyed forever.
After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission: “Xuan Ye’s wife is from a rare race. Not long ago, Bai Digu took a liking towards her. Xuan Ye killed the envoy that Bai Digu sent so the two of them got arrested. They must be at White River City now.”
“White River City?”
The corners of Jiang Yi’s lips twisted up in a grimace as his killing intent continued to surge. He laughed mirthlessly and shouted, “Qingchen, carry Guo’er and follow me. We’re going to White River City to meet this Young Master Bai Digu!”
