“Jiang Wuming, since you’re not dead, hurry up and save the others!”
Yun Bing’s brows rose, and she didn’t want to banter with Jiang Yi. She had also been struck just now. Although she wasn’t in bad shape, her soul spirit was nevertheless hurt. She took out a spirit herb and swallowed it as Jiang Yi brought two commanders up with him.
“Let’s head out first!”
Yun Bing gestured as she brought everyone and flew out. The main army had already fled very far away and was hiding within a mountain valley five hundred kilometers away. Finally seeing Yun Bing and company return, all of them breathed a sigh of relief.
“My Lord, are you alright?”
Zhang Danian sent a voice transmission from far away as Jiang Yi nodded and sent a voice transmission back: “I’m alright, just a scratch.”
At the last moment, the Ghost-Eyed Beast King had shot out a blast of blue light. Jiang Yi had almost succumbed to that attack. Although he could dispel the Netherworld Aura, that blue light was a powerful soul spirit attack. If he didn’t ask his Heaven-Swallowing Beast to enter his soul spirit to swallow that attack—even if he had his Xiaozhuan characters to block them, he would probably have been severely wounded.
“Jiang Wuming, are these people going to be alright?”
Reaching the mountain valley, Yun Bing asked two bodyguards to keep watch in the vicinity as she turned and looked at Jiang Yi and asked. Jiang Yi shrugged and replied, “Although their soul spirit’s Netherworld Aura have been purged and their soul spirits have been healed, they are in a coma. I’m not sure if they could wake up again…”
Jiang Yi released everyone he had rescued out. In that short period, twenty-odd men had been knocked unconscious. Yun Bing’s divine senses swept over them as her expression grew very serious. After scanning a few times, her eyes were filled with killing aura as she said, “The scouts that had checked out this place all deserve to die; they actually couldn’t even find out that a Ghost-Eyed Beast King was residing here? A bunch of imbeciles.”
Jiang Yi twitched his lips and didn’t respond. This time, the scouts had indeed performed poorly. What if it had been a Netherworld King and not a Ghost-Eyed Beast King? They would all be dead. Having the wrong information on hand could easily lead to their demise.
Out of the ten commanders, eight were in a coma. The remaining two looked apprehensively at the twenty-odd men lying on the ground. Commander Liang’s divine senses swept over as he shook his head and said, “Their soul spirits have been severely wounded. If it wasn’t for Jiang Wuming, they would all have long died. It depends on heaven now if they can wake up.”
A soul spirit was a person’s foundation. If any part of his soul spirit was not functioning properly, it could make someone lose some of their memories or—worse—become a vegetable. Some might never wake up from a coma if their soul spirits were severely damaged.
Out of the ten Flying Feather Army commanders, eight were in a coma now together with ten-odd bodyguards who were all from the Yun Clan. It was possible that none of them would wake up again; it was no wonder Yun Bing was furious.
“General!”
After waiting for a moment, Commander Liang looked at Yun Bing and said, “Since things have deteriorated to this state, why don’t we head back now? These people need to receive immediate treatment to see if they could wake up again; shall we forget about the mission this time?”
“Forget it?”
Yun Bing stared angrily. “We are already halfway; how could we give up just like this? Commander Liang, you bring these men back to be treated. Everyone else is to follow me into battle after resting for six hours.”
“…”
Some bodyguards were lost for words; however, this was as expected. Their clan’s young mistress’ temper was such. It was impossible to ask her to give this mission up now; she had not failed a single mission yet.
Jiang Yi looked at the army and realized that morale was very low. However, since Yun Bing was adamant about continuing, no one could say anything; she was the General after all.
Commander Liang brought a few men and carried the unconscious men back first while after six hours of resting, Yun Bing led the main army and headed into the Netherworld River Mountainous Region once more.
This time, they didn’t fight as separate troops anymore. Yun Bing gathered the entire army together as they formed an Arrow Formation and pierced through. She remained within the army while she asked a King-Ranked martial artist to personally lead the way and then directed each senior captain to lead their men to battle.
“Jiang Wuming, don’t bother with your troop anymore; find someone to take over! You’re with me!”
Jiang Yi had just wanted to lead his men out to exterminate the Netherworld Race when Yun Bing’s voice transmission rang out. Jiang Yi could only helplessly ask Zhang Danian to lead his men while he went over to Yun Bing’s side and followed her about to patrol.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle soon ensued and the other King-Ranked martial artist also went out personally together with the remaining of Yun Bing’s bodyguards. That way, the extermination effort actually sped up and as everyone was banded together, all ordinary Netherworld Race beings were slaughtered on sight.
The Netherworld Race beings were being wiped out. Toward the end—when they encountered high-grade Netherworld Generals, Yun Bing personally headed out to battle and raised the army’s morale. Under Yun Bing’s command, Jiang Yi helped the bodyguards, senior commanders, commanders, and others to dispel their Netherworld Aura. As these men were all fighting on the front line, they were being heavily affected by the Netherworld Aura.
This time, things went much smoother; they didn’t encounter any more powerful Netherworld Race beings. After battling for twenty-over hours, Yun Bing finally ordered for everyone to retreat and regroup outside the Netherworld River Mountainous Region.
“Help those men to dispel their Netherworld Aura!”
Jiang Yi had just wanted to take a break when a voice appeared in his mind. Jiang Yi rolled his eyes as he sent a voice transmission back: “Lord General, I am but a Senior Captain; I’m not a Senior Commander. Those men are not under me…”
He wasn’t a Senior Commander; helping so many people cleanse their Netherworld Aura, he was going to tire himself to death. He wasn’t the entire Flying Feather Army’s sugar daddy, and his only sense of belonging in the Flying Feather Army was to his troop; he didn’t care about the rest.
Yun Bing grew angry as she glared and sent a voice transmission: “Will you go or not?”
“No!”
Jiang Yi retorted and coldly sent a voice transmission back: “Even if you kill me, I won’t.”
Yun Bing glared at Jiang Yi furiously as Jiang Yi did not back down. The two were just like two lions that had their manes up, frightening the troops around them. Many were seated in between the two, and at this moment, they didn’t even dare to move or breathe.
“Awesome!”
Zhang Danian and company secretly raised their thumbs in praise. Although they didn’t know what had happened, Jiang Yi was probably the only one in the entire Flying Feather Army who dared to glare at Yun Bing like this.
The two stared at each other for a full five minutes. Yun Bing suddenly grinned as she sent a voice transmission: “Alright, alright. I will now make you the Flying Feather Army Staff Captain; you will be in charge of overseeing the entire army. Now, the entire Flying Feather Army is yours; can you lend a hand now? If you still disobey, that would be going against an order; I would have the right to kill you.”
Overseeing the entire army…
Jiang Yi’s sweat kept on dripping; he had previously been an Inspector-General in the Fire Phoenix Army; he was now appointed to a similar role within the Flying Feather Army?
Wait a minute!
Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up. Since he was a Staff Captain and oversaw the entire army, then his rank should be equivalent to a Senior Commander’s, right? Didn’t that mean he could freely enter and leave the Nine Yang Army whenever he liked?
He knew that once he entered the Nine Yang Army, he could not withdraw or leave within ten years; Jiang Yi couldn’t afford to wait that long. He thought for a while and said, “I can help to dispel everyone’s Netherworld Aura. However, is this Staff Captain position the same rank as that of a Senior Commander?”
“Hehe!”
Yun Bing laughed as she replied, “You think so highly of yourself. You have only joined the Flying Feather Army for a few days and you want to be on par with Senior Commanders? Without battle merits, your Staff Captain position is only in name; you will continue to draw a Senior Captain’s salary. Slowly accumulate your battle merits; when you finally have enough battle merits, you will become a true Staff Captain.”
“You are shrewd!”
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth. He had been given a legitimate order now; Yun Bing had the law on her side. Her rank was also so much higher than his. Jiang Yi could only grit his teeth as he walked toward those who had been seriously affected by the Netherworld Aura to help all of them cleanse the Netherworld Aura.
