Jiang Yi understood it once he heard what they knew about the situation. Liu Yu was one of the Vice Princ.i.p.als of the college. This time, he led a group to search for the Black Wasps; and Jiang Yi did see him in Shui Qianrou"s banquet.

After the Devil Star Vine appeared and restrained Jiang Yi, it had frightened all the young masters and ladies. Everyone didn"t dare to s.n.a.t.c.h the honey and returned respectively.

Liu Yu brought a group of cadets back to Mt. Spirit Beast College and had unexpectedly encountered demonic beast attacks. A few of the cadets were severely injured, and Liu Yu was injured as well. Zhuge Qingyun happened to pa.s.s by and took them to ride on the golden dragon back to the college.

Who would have expected…?

Just as they were able to arrive at Mt. Spirit Beast, Liu Yu suddenly made a sneak attack and slammed his palm on Zhuge Qingyun. At the same time, there was a black shadow that flew from below and killed Zhuge Qingyun—who was severely injured—in a single move. The golden dragon immediately died afterward as well. All the patrol teams in the nearby vicinity witnessed this while those cadets, who were riding the golden dragon, looked on as Liu Yu committed the murder.

Liu Yu had been in this college for more than thirty years. He had been a mentor for twenty years and was promoted to the vice princ.i.p.al role after he reached the peak-stage of Soul Travel Realm. His prestige was only second to Princ.i.p.al Qi, and he was also one of the representative figures in the college. He had gained the deep trust of Zhuge Qingyun, and no one expected him to suddenly make an underhand move.

Zhuge Qingyun"s mind was preoccupied and had been making haste to return to the college; he had let his guard down. Liu Yu was right beside him and suddenly launched a sneak attack. How would he not fall into Liu Yu"s trap?

Jiang Yi"s mind was currently floating with Zhuge Qingyun"s expression during his demise. His face must have been filled with disbelief, disappointment, agony, and regret. That moment when he was struck by the person he trusted most, his heart must be in pain. It must have been even more painful than his physical suffering.

"Where is Liu Yu?"

The other man was a black-clothed Vajra Realm martial expert who immediately dove into the ground after making his move. Everyone didn"t manage to react in time—let alone finding out his ident.i.ty.

Liu Yu had also fled immediately and towards the Great Xia Kingdom"s direction. After Princ.i.p.al Qi received this information, she instantly pursued with a few vice princ.i.p.als and had just sent a message back.

The current vice princ.i.p.al, who was overseeing the college, felt his heart palpitate when Jiang Yi"s eyes filled with killing aura swept across. He quickly handed the message token to Jiang Yi and said, "Jiang Yi, you send a message to Princ.i.p.al Qi. I do not know where exactly they are!"

"Let"s go!"

Jiang Yi waved his hand and placed Su Ruoxue and the others into the Universal Palace. He then summoned the Yazi Beast and soared into the sky, leaving behind a statement that was fuming with killing aura: "Do not bury the Princ.i.p.al yet. Wait for me to bring back Liu Yu"s head to pay respects to the Princ.i.p.al!"

Roar!

Seemingly sensing the rage in Jiang Yi"s heart, the Yazi Beast roared so loud that the entire Mt. Spirit Beast was shaking. It spiraled into the sky and flew towards the north.

Close to ten thousand cadets all looked at Jiang Yi with stirred up emotions and reddened eyes. Most of them were clenching their fists tightly and wished that they could immediately reach the Vajra Realm and follow along with Jiang Yi to kill that traitor and exact revenge for Zhuge Qingyun.

Liu Yun had been an undercover in the college for thirty years just for this moment. Liu Yu was a chess piece from which side? If we find out who is his superior, then we will be able to know the mastermind behind the scenes.

He is escaping to the Divine Martial Kingdom? Could he be a member of the Divine Martial Kingdom? Why did Xia Tingwei want to kill the Princ.i.p.al?

If he is really Xia Tingwei"s subordinate, I might have to clash with Old Eunuch Lin. Perhaps… Jiang Bieli would also interfere?

It doesn"t matter. If Old Eunuch Lin dares to get involved, I will kill him! If Jiang Bieli dares to make a move, then don"t blame me for being ruthless. I must take revenge for the Princ.i.p.al!

Jiang Yi had made his decision as he quickly sent a message to Princ.i.p.al Qi and ascertained their position. Liu Yu had to die; otherwise, what face would he have to go pay his respects to Zhuge Qingyun?

Princ.i.p.al Qi quickly sent a message, saying that they were in pursuit and had nearly killed Liu Yu a few times. There was this mysterious man who would also appear and obstruct them. During their pursuit, they had slain at least a few dozen black-clothed individuals. Right now, Liu Yu was fleeing in the direction of Monarch City.

A mysterious man was obstructing them? Monarch City? Could Liu Yu really be a subordinate of Xia Tingwei?

Jiang Yi"s eyes turned cold and as he had even more determined eyes. He yelled out, "Demon king, hurry up. We have to stop Liu Yu before he enters the Monarch City!"

The Monarch City was Divine Martial Kingdom"s capital city. It didn"t matter what kind of reason did Jiang Yi have—as long as he was going to kill in Monarch City, the Divine Martial Kingdom wasn"t going to agree to it. Thus, if he was able to take down Liu Yu before he reached Monarch City, then it would surely reduce a lot of trouble.

The Yazi Beast forcefully increased its speed. During the time in the underground world, it didn"t sustain any injuries and was only invaded by the black aura. After Jiang Yi helped it expel that black aura, its strength was restored to its prime state.

Mt. Spirit Beast was in the southernmost part of the Divine Martial Kingdom while Monarch City was located in the northwest. No matter how fast the Yazi Beast was, it would still need around four to five days time. Liu Yu might have been fleeing since two days ago, but he was pursued along the way. It would probably take him around seven to eight days before he could reach Monarch City. It meant that Jiang Yi still had the chance to catch up to him.

It was late autumn now; the violent wind brushed past which inflicted pain on the face.

Jiang Yi had been seated cross-legged on the Yazi Beast, like an old monk in meditation. During these few days of pursuit, he had to preserve his spirit and strength while having to increase his strength at the same time.

He could feel an endangering sensation, which was even more terrifying than the three-year promise. If he didn"t handle this well enough, he might be smashed into pieces. Once he died, Su Ruoxue, Qian w.a.n.guan, Zhan Wushuang, and Yun Fei would all have to die with him. Everyone that was related to him would also be eliminated.

Right now, he didn"t speak lightly about life and death. He wasn"t afraid of death, but he must not die, too!

For every one that he cherished, for those that cherished him, for those that were related to him… he had to work hard to survive and use the sword in his hand to kill a blood path for himself.

He was able to relax his body during cultivation, and his body would obtain the required relief from fatigue as well. When he was cultivating, his body would also automatically absorb the heaven-and-earth spirit energy which would replenish the energy that his physical flesh had exhausted. He just had to follow the cultivation art"s circulation method during cultivation, and there was no need to use the brain, which would also help to relieve the fatigue on the soul spirit.

Thus, Jiang Yi felt reinvigorated after a few hours of cultivation. He casually had some rations and started his study on sorcery arts.

Sorcery arts were very powerful. If martial skills were derived from the mystics of the dao patterns, then sorcery arts were definitely created from the quintessence of dao patterns.

Jiang Yi experienced this when he was studying the Myriad Clone sorcery art. He had already comprehended the Wind Myriad dao pattern so he understood this dao pattern"s quintessence. The Myriad Clone contained the same quintessence.

The Nine Heavens" Dragon Flames—which was trans.m.u.ted from the essence force in the first star sphere—could even repel the Devil Star Vine. It was imaginable how powerful the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno was!

The fire was a very tyrannical existence. There were plenty of powerful flames in this world, like the flames of the Fire Spirit Rock which could destroy saint artifacts. Hence, Jiang Yi decided to constantly study this sorcery art and cultivate it to the limits. He was going to strive to refine the flames that not even the Witch G.o.d could, the Nine Heavens" True Flames!

After cultivating for several hours to relieve the mental pressure, Jiang Yi continued to study that sorcery art. After traveling without any rest, Jiang Yi finally caught up to Princ.i.p.al Qi and the others on the fifth day.

Princ.i.p.al Qi led seven vice princ.i.p.als who were all riddled with wounds, and their eyes were all bloodshot. All their clothes were in a terrible mess as though they were eight beggars. They were currently at the no.1 main city in the south of Divine Martial Kingdom where they were surrounded by about 1000 soldiers outside the southern gates of the Divine Soldier City. These people were actually wearing the Divine Martial Kingdom"s battle armor, and the commanders were all generals from the Divine Martial Kingdom"s army!

Is Liu Yu really Xia Tingwei"s subordinate?

Jiang Yi"s eyes flashed with cold light as he descended with the Yazi Beast. He let out a furious roar, "Everyone, stop. Otherwise… die!"
