Although he understood what Jiang Yi was trying to do, Ninth Elder could not do anything about it!
People were trying to run for their lives in every direction. The city had descended into chaos. Jiang Yi was hiding, and Ninth Elder could not easily find him. All he could do was activate his divine senses to scan the area again and again to see if Jiang Yi was trying to remain hidden in the city or trying to hide among the crowd.
Ninth Elder spent a full five minutes searching for Jiang Yi before he finally confirmed that the latter was not hiding in the city. The King-Ranked soon arrived. He immediately instructed them to split up and search for Jiang Yi. At the same time, he asked people to send a message to every city within a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius of that small mountain, so that they could contribute manpower and join in the search for Jiang Yi.
Buzz!
Ninth Elder had already flown hundreds of kilometers when his messaging jade talisman lit up. He glanced at it, and his expression changed at once. One of the scouts sent him a message to tell him that one of the cities five thousand kilometers away had been destroyed. Jiang Yi had been here.
“Chase!”
Ninth Elder’s body overflowed with killing intent as he flew towards the west. At the same time, he sent messages to the nearby soldiers, hoping to gather reinforcement so that they could surround Jiang Yi and kill him. By the time they arrived—however, they realized that the situation was even more chaotic there. There were people within thousands of kilometers of that city, making it even more difficult to find Jiang Yi.
Even after searching for four to six hours, they still did not manage to achieve anything. The Dao Clan sent many more formidable martial artists for back-up. Even Dao Nù had come personally. Dao Leng and the others had also arrived at the Heaven Domain by then and were teleporting towards the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak.
More than half the King-Ranked martial artists from the Dao Clan had been activated. Even the nearby clans had been activated. The army spread out throughout a five-million-kilometer radius and numbered at least ten million. There were people all around. They began to search every inch of the Heaven Domain.
Someone painted Jiang Yi’s portrait, along with an image of how the mummy looked. As long as Jiang Yi tried to use the mummy to escape, he would quickly be discovered for sure.
What shocked Dao Nù and the rest of the Dao Clan the most was that even after searching for several hours, they could not find any traces of Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi seemed to have disappeared into thin air; he left no clue or trace behind.
“Search! Keep searching! I am going to lead an Azure Supreme Thearch Army of at least a million people to search everywhere within billions of miles of this place. Activate all the protective layers around every mountain. Nobody is allowed to leave their own city. Even if we have to dig three meters into the ground, we have to find Jiang Yi!”
Dao Nù, the Family Head of the Dao Clan, was extremely aggressive. He looked intimidating even when he wasn’t angry. He was also even burlier than Dao Leng. Dao Nù had a squarish jaw and large ears, making him look like a formidable character. His enraged roar echoed throughout five thousand kilometers, causing Dao Leng and the other elders of the Dao Clan who had been rushing over to stiffen in fear.
Dao Nù had the word nù[1] in his name, but he rarely got angry. This time, however, he was thoroughly angered by Jiang Yi’s actions. Dao Feng was killed, and he had sent Dao Leng and hundreds of people to Chaos Sea to resolve the matter. In the end—however, Jiang Yi managed to escape to the Heaven Domain and even go on a killing spree within the Dao Clan’s territory. He even managed to kill several King-Ranked martial artists and tens of thousands of soldiers.
The Dao Clan had never been humiliated this way. Dao Nù guessed that it would not be long before the Dao Clan became the laughingstock of the Heaven Domain.
The Azure Supreme Thearch Army!
From the name itself, one would be able to tell that the army did not belong to the Dao Clan. Instead, the army belonged to the Azure Supreme Thearch and was one of the six main armies formed to fight the demons in the Heaven Domain. It was obvious why this army existed; it was meant to fight the Netherworld Realm’s soldiers. The commander of this army was the Azure Supreme Thearch himself. However, Dao Nù was in charge of the army’s everyday affairs.
Up to that point, however, Dao Nù had already deployed a million Azure Supreme Thearch Army’s soldiers to look for a mere Jiang Yi?
If news of this spread, there would be a huge commotion in the Heaven Domain. After all, each time the Azure Supreme Thearch Army was activated, they were activated to fight the Netherworld Realm armies. The good thing was that Dao Nù was no sadist. He had only activated a million soldiers. This was not overboard.
In a blink of an eye, the entire Azure Region—south of Heaven Primordial Domain—was filled with soldiers. The men covered every mountain and plain, searching for a minor character who teleported into the Heaven Domain from the Earth Domain.
…
There was such a huge disturbance in the south; how could this be hidden from the other prestigious clans in the Heaven Domain?
News spread very quickly among the various clans in the Heaven Domain. However, the spread was restricted in that it was kept only among the great family clans. This was an embarrassing matter; of course, the great family clans did not want news of this to spread. Otherwise, they would not know how to face the rest of the Heaven Domain in the future.
Young Mistress Gongyang, Young Master Liang, and the rest of their group had already returned to the Heaven Domain. When they received news of this situation, the group of young masters and young mistresses immediately led their clans’ formidable martial artists to the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak. They were prepared to help the Dao Clan find Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi had killed several guards from their clans back at the Demon-Killing Palace. He forced them to use their own Divine Escape Talismans to come back here and caused them to be extremely embarrassed. On the surface, they packaged their actions as an effort to help the Dao Clan. In actual fact, they were trying to salvage their own reputation. As long as Jiang Yi lived, they would not be able to face the rest of the world.
This news also could not be hidden from the four Supreme Thearchs. After all, this was no small matter. However, the four Supreme Thearchs gave no instructions. In their eyes, Jiang Yi was no different from an ant. Why did they have to bother about whether an ant died or survived? As long as things did not get out of hand, there was no need for them to interfere.
…
“He’s not dead? He’s even here in the Heaven Domain?”
East of the Heaven Primordial Domain, on the Qilin Empress Peak, He Nongying sat in a small yard. She looked at the letter in her hand with a weird expression on her face. She had thought at first that Jiang Yi would surely perish in the Demon-Killing Palace and not make it back to the Earth Domain. She had not expected that he would forgo the Earth Domain and kill his way to the Heaven Domain instead.
“Could he really be the second Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch?”
He Nongying recalled the first time she met Jiang Yi. She nearly killed him. All the bones in his body were broken. Yet, he could still find it in him to stand up on his own two feet. She recalled that stubborn and unruly gaze. It reminded her so much of the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch.
He Nongying shook her head and sighed softly, “It’s a pity that his cultivation level is far, far too low. If he were a King-Ranked martial artist, perhaps he would have a chance of surviving. Dao Nù had already activated the Azure Supreme Thearch Army. Would he still be able to escape?”
“It seems like Jiang Yi is from the Demon-Killing Pavilion.”
He Nongying suddenly recalled something, and her heart began to race. She muttered to herself, “There did not seem to be any talents coming from the Demon-Killing Pavilion for the past one thousand years. If the Demon-Killing General Pavilion stepped out to save him, there might be some hope. I just wonder if the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Xiang Kui would be daring enough to… offend the Dao Clan.”
…
In the south-east region of the Heaven Primordial Domain, on Demon-Killing Peak…!
This was where the General Pavilion of the Demon-Killing Pavilion stood. The Demon-Killing Peak was extremely huge; not smaller than the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak. A huge city floated at the top of the Demon-Killing Peak. This was built by the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch himself back in the day. This city was at least a hundred times bigger than the Earth Emanations City, and more than a hundred million people resided there. One could say that the entire city looked miraculous like a work of heaven.
Within the city was a huge city plaza which was almost as big as the Demon-Buster Valley. In the middle of the city plaza stood a huge castle. This was the Demon-Killing Castle. Back then, the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch resided in this castle. Later, after he passed on, it became the residence of the Demon-Killing General Pavilion’s Pavilion Lord.
“Report!”
In the main hall of the Demon-Killing Castle, a Titled Battle God rushed in and got down on his knee. He shouted, “Pavilion Lord, Ye Sheng from the Earth Domain has sent a secret report. This is the information he gave us about Jiang Yi.”
There were eleven people seated in the main hall. Five people sat on each side of the hall; all of them were Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists. There was one middle-aged, balding man seated on a platform of the main hall. He resembled a crouching tiger or a coiled-up dragon. This man was the first General Pavilion Lord of Demon-Killing Pavilion, Xiang Kui!
“Send it up!”
Xiang Kui scanned the Titled Battle God with his tiger-like gaze which carried with it a hint of sword light. The man shivered and immediately bounded through the main hall and up the platform. Then, he got down on one knee again and handed the secret letter to Xiang Kui.
Xiang Kui opened the report from Ye Sheng and took several glances at it. Then, he nodded and said, “This Jiang Yi is indeed a talent. He had only ascended less than half a year ago, and yet he could create such a huge commotion. What’s more, he seems very loyal. He has pledged unending loyalty to our Demon-Killing Pavilion. Everyone, do you think we should save this lad?”
The ten Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists exchanged looks. One of them hesitated for a long while before cupping his hands and saying, “General Pavilion Lord, talents are talents. If we interfere in this matter, not only would we offend Dao Nu, we would also risk offending the Azure Supreme Thearch. Don’t you think… it would not be worth it?”
