Chapter 1685: Spy in the Human Race
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“General, did you say that the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch is still alive?”
Jiang Yi casually asked, trying to find out more, “Do you think he did not die after all? I heard that he has been cultivating a type of exceptional divine art. The day that he emerges once more would be the end of the Netherworld Realm.”
“Impossible…”
Yun Bing’s expression darkened as a look of sorrow crossed her face. She began to mumble, “The Heavenly Thearch was unbelievably kind. He had a real heart for the people. If he were still alive, he would not be hidden for sure. He would be out here, leading people to fight the Netherworld Race beings.
“What’s more… Staff Captain Jiang, you might not know this, but no matter how powerful one seems, he cannot live past ten thousand years. Ten thousand years is already pushing it. Nobody would be able to cross this line. It has been more than ten thousand years since the Heavenly Thearch died. How can he still be alive?”
Jiang Yi observed Yun Bing’s expression closely. She was not feigning sadness. This sorrow was coming from her heart. It seemed like whether the other Heavenly Kings were genuinely loyal towards the Heavenly Thearch or not, at least the Yun Clan’s Heavenly King was deeply moved by him. Heavenly King Yun was a very loyal person. Otherwise, there would be no way Yun Bing would be this affected.
Jiang Yi averted his gaze and said once again in a low voice, “General, the Nine Yang Army was the closest to the Heavenly Thearch back then. They must have quite a lot of political power. What’s more, the Nine Yang Army’s battle capabilities are the best in the world. The combined power of the thirty-six Heavenly Kings would be comparable to the four thearchs.
“Why didn’t the Heavenly Kings want to rally together to form the Human Race Alliance? Then, they would be able to gather the strength of the human race. Wouldn’t their hopes of defeating the Netherworld Race be greatly increased then?”
“Keke!”
Yun Bing threw Jiang Yi a mocking look and paused for a long while before she said, “Staff Captain Jiang, man is the soul of all other living creatures. They are also the most selfish of creatures. The human race will be wiped out at any time. Still, many people will only be concerned about their own interests. They would use all of their brain juice, thinking about how to fight one another.
“All of them want to become Thearch-Ranked martial artists. Alliance? If we really form an alliance, the human race will be wiped out sooner. Many people will fight and wreck their brains to become the leader of the alliance. Then, there will really be chaos under the heavens.
“At the end of the day, there are no exceptional martial artists around. If someone like the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch is born and manages to subdue everyone else, there will be hopes for an alliance!
“Sigh…”
Yun Bing suddenly heaved a long sigh and sent a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, it is quite funny and sad to think about it. The human race really has seen such an exceptional talent, who had hopes of achieving as much as the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch did. If he were allowed to develop his potential—defeating the Netherworld Race aside, he would at least have been able to boost the human race’s progress in the fight. He would then have kept the human race from being wiped out. Who do you think this was? How do you think he died in the end?”
“Could it be the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch?”
The cogs in Jiang Yi’s mind were turning. In recent years, the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch seemed to be the only exceptional talent around. When he saw Yun Bing nod, he asked in frustration: “Didn’t the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch fall for the Netherworld Race’s trap? I heard he was surrounded by the ten great Netherworld Kings and killed by the Netherworld Thearch himself in the end, right?”
“Hahaha!”
Yun Bing suddenly burst into laughter to the point that tears were flowing from her eyes. Many soldiers turned to look at her, but after she glanced back at them, they immediately turned away and continued to clear out the Netherworld Race beings.
“The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch was killed by one of our own!”
Yun Bing sent a voice transmission in a very confident tone: “This is no secret. The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch and the others were buried because a spy sold them out. What’s more… the Demon-Killing Pavilion even suspected that it was one of our own sovereigns who assassinated him. Otherwise, the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch would have made it out. Jiang Yi, don’t you think this is sad? Funny? Ridiculous?”
“This…”
Jiang Yi looked at her in disbelief. The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch fought with the Netherworld Race beings, but a spy from the human race was the one who killed him? It was even a sovereign from the human race who assassinated him and silenced him forever?
There were only so few Thearch-Ranked martial artists in the world. Jiang Yi only knew six of them. Yet, one of them was killed by one of their very own? The world was hanging by a thread. Not only was the human race not banding together, but they were even killing one another?
“Who was it?”
Jiang Yi’s gaze hardened as killing intent surged around his body. “Why didn’t people work together to kill this person? He became allies with the Netherworld Race and plotted against one of his own fellow men. He deserves punishment worse than death. If we do not get rid of this person, we can forget about escaping destruction…”
“Not sure!”
Yun Bing closed her eyes as a pained expression appeared on her face. She replied: “The entire thing was very well-hidden. Whoever did it left behind no clues and evidence. However, what we can be sure of is this: the spy was definitely one of the four Supreme Thearchs. Jiang Yi, do you think that a Human Race Alliance is possible? That spy would surely sell everyone out. Would you dare to turn your back on a teammate like that?
“The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch was exceptionally talented. He only took a thousand years to become a Thearch-Ranked martial artist. If he had been allowed to continue developing his potential, he would have achieved the same skills as the Heavenly Thearch back then.
“This spy must have been afraid that the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch would become the new Heavenly Thearch. He was afraid that he would lose his power and status. For his own selfish interests and gain, he betrayed the entire human race. This man is hateful; he deserves death. He deserves to be punished!”
Once Yun Bing finished speaking, Jiang Yi fell silent. From her words, he obtained a lot of information. A thought solidified in his mind.
If he revealed the fact that the Fire Dragon Sword was the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon before he became properly skilled, he would surely be killed in a second. Others aside, the spy would be the first to act for sure. He would come after Jiang Yi, having no regard for all costs.
“Man is the soul of all other living creatures, but they are also the most selfish of creatures.”
Yun Bing’s words seemed to have an underlying meaning. Among the thirty-six Heavenly Kings, there were definitely incredibly selfish people. After all, it would be extremely difficult to read others. Perhaps if there were only a few of them, things would be easier. Among the thirty-six, however, there was bound to be a couple who had a bad character.
Jiang Yi did not want to ask any more questions, in case Yun Bing grew suspicious. Yun Bing was not in the mood to continue chatting either. Instead, she went to the front line and began to kill the Netherworld Race beings ruthlessly and aggressively. It was almost as if she was venting her inner frustrations on those beings.
This time, no Netherworld Race beings as strong as the Ghost-Eyed Beast King appeared again. They spent more than ten Lower-Domain days cleansing the Netherworld River Mountainous Region of Netherworld Race beings. Then, the army headed home.
On the way back, Jiang Yi could obviously feel that the rest of the army’s attitude towards him was changing. The entire army quickly found out about him becoming the Staff Captain. Although this position did not look very powerful, Jiang Yi helped all of them to be cleansed of Netherworld Aura as well. This was akin to saving all of their lives. Naturally, the entire army’s impression of him improved.
The bodyguards, the two commanders, and the remaining Senior Commander were becoming more impressed with Jiang Yi as well. If Jiang Yi had not been there, they would not have had such an easy time defeating the Ghost-Eyed Beast King. If Jiang Yi had not been there, the bodyguards and the commanders would have died. Jiang Yi was very famous as well. They could not help but feel admiration for someone who dared to kill even someone like Dao Leng.
Jiang Yi’s heart, however, was filled with worries. Many people were discovering his true identity.
He guessed that it would not be long before more and more people in the Flying Feather Army found out who he was. There was no such thing as an air-tight wall. Even though the Flying Feather Army seldom mixed around with outsiders, the news was bound to travel outwards. Jiang Yi would not be able to keep this a secret for much longer.
The moment the Dao Clan found out about him, Dao Leng or Dao Nu would personally come to request for him from the Nine Yang Army. The Nine Yang Army was said to be very protective of their own, but would they be able to withstand the pressure from the Dao Clan? What if Dao Nu or the Azure Supreme Thearch threatened them?
