Chapter 1155 - Did the Evil Thearch have a Death Wish?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Indeed, the Buddha Thearch, the Night Empress, the Yin Thearch, and the Xuan Thearch were not in the Umbra Continent; they had gone to the Black Sea north of the continent. At this moment, they were trapped inside a mystic realm.

North of the Umbra Continent, the Pegasus Continent, and the Beastmen Continent was a sea region that was even bigger than the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. It was named the Black Sea as the water there was black.

The Black Sea had many powerful demons and many sea islands. However, the sea demons there were all very poisonous and had strong attack abilities. The seawater itself was poisonous. Hence, though people were living on some sea islands before, they had all been forced to evacuate. The Black Sea had since become the playground for the sea demons; hardly any humans went there.

The Buddha Thearch and company had entered the Black Sea while tracking a black-robed man. The black-robed man was a Demigod. Although his speed was not that fast, he had a special evasion skill. The four formidable martial artists had lost sight of him and were trapped inside a mystic realm in the Black Sea.

The mystic realm was not that strong. However, it had a very unique, natural illusion array. Although the Buddha Thearch and company were exceptionally skilled, they could not find a way to force their way out of the illusion array; they could only find a way to walk out one step at a time.

Thankfully for the group—with the Buddha Thearch present, he could see through many restrictions. If not, an ordinary person would probably be trapped here forever. Be that as it may, it was not possible for the four of them to leave the mystic realm in a short time. The illusion array was too complex; time was needed to slowly decipher it.

The Buddha Emperor’s secret departure from the Buddha Mountain was actually because of the Buddha Thearch. He had known ahead of the rest that the Buddha Thearch was not contactable. However, this matter could not be made known. If not, the Yi Clan would be in disarray. Hence, the Buddha Emperor had hurriedly taken a few Demigods with him and headed to the Umbra Continent, tracing the Buddha Thearch’s footsteps to the Black Sea.

Yi Chan had thought that the Buddha Thearch could be easily contactable and so had not thought much about it.

As the Yi Clan could not reach the Buddha Thearch, they could only send a message to the Buddha Emperor. Although the Buddha Emperor received the message, he did not have the time to care about such things. He was set on finding the Buddha Thearch. Instead, he sent a message back to ask everyone in the Yi Clan to enter into the highest level of readiness for battle, to be ready for any and all sorts of formidable martial artists. The Yi Clan also did not bother about Jiang Yi anymore. They secretly deployed their formidable martial artists to protect the Yi Clan’s four regions. Many big cities also activated their restrictions, on guard day and night.

Hence, none of the Thearchs knew that Jiang Yi was heading to the Evil Thearch City. Of course, even if the Battle Thearch, the North Thearch, and the rest knew, they would probably go and only observe and be entertained.

…

In eleven days, Jiang Yi had used the Mystic Divine Palace’s Heaven Evasion and reached the Flying Space Region. This was the territory of the Li Clan and was near the She Clan’s four regions. Jiang Yi appeared in a patch of wilderness and realized that there was no one nearby. He used his Divine Perception and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that they had reached the Flying Space Region, he immediately guided the Mystic Divine Palace into a huge mountain to conceal itself.

This time, Jiang Yi was there to save people, not to kill people!

Jiang Yi did not stupidly dash to Evil Thearch City; there were still four more days till the deadline. He had to have enough information and news before he could decide on his next course of action.

“The Flying Space Region?”

Yi Chan’s eyebrows rose as she asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to head out to gather some information? The Li Clan’s Li Feiyu was rescued by my grandfather once. Li Feiyu would also come to pay his respects to my grandfather every year. If the Li Clan used their resources, it should be easy to find out the situation inside the Evil Thearch City.”

“Alright!”

What Jiang Yi needed the most now was information. He said in a low voice, “Lady Yi, could you ask the Li Clan to investigate the whereabouts of Zhan Yiming. This is his painting! If they can rescue him, I, Jiang Yi, will owe the Li Clan a favor.”

“A favor again…”

Yi Chan looked at Jiang Yi plainly as if trying to tell him silently that he still owed her two favors. However, she thought about it and realized that Jiang Yi’s favors were now very valuable; the Li Clan would definitely do its best. She nodded slightly and said nothing else.

Swish!

Jiang Yi teleported the Fifth Eldress up and gave her a green pearl. He sent her a voice transmission requesting her to make contact with the Shadow Emperor’s men. He then looked at Yi Chan and said, “This is a friend of mine. She will take care of your safety.”

Yi Chan looked strangely at Fifth Eldress but did not say anything else. Jiang Yi teleported the two out and used his Divine Perception to lock on the duo. Once they encountered any danger, he would immediately go to their aid.

Yi Chan and Fifth Eldress easily entered the city borders and were teleported to the Flying Space City. Once they were in the city, Yi Chan made her identity known. The Li Clan was very courteous to her. Jiang Yi continued tracking them for a while before resting easy.

“Jiang Yi, do not worry. Everything will be fine.”

Yin Ruobing saw Jiang Yi’s eyebrows knitted and his serious expression and quietly came over to hug him from the back. Jiang Yi sighed slightly and said, “If I can safely rescue the two of them and if this matter has nothing to do with the She Clan, I will not kill anymore. However, if this matter was really the doing of the Evil Thearch, I will make the She Clan pay; the blood debt of hundreds of millions of people from the Stellarsky Continent has to be paid.”

“You should rest for a while first. I will be back soon.”

As he had not told this matter to Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang, Jiang Yi stood up and prepared to head to the Moon Mirror Lake. Yin Ruobing nodded. She had actually guessed many things. However, she was a smart woman and knew what not to ask and what not to say.

Jiang Yi went to the Moon Mirror Lake. The atmosphere there was very heavy. Qian Wanguan and company were sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, drinking wine without any merriment. After seeing Jiang Yi teleporting over, they hurriedly stood up.

“There is news regarding your fathers.”

Jiang Yi walked over in a flash and told the whole story to the duo. Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang’s faces became even more serious. Qian Wanguan was quiet for a long time before opening his mouth and saying, “Boss, if they can be saved, you should save them. If they cannot be saved, please avenge my father and Uncle Zhan. The Mystic Divine Palace can never be handed over. You cannot die either! If not, all of us will have to die; my father and Uncle Zhan will have to die as well…”

Zhan Wushuang nodded and said, “That’s right. The mastermind probably wants to get his hands on the Mystic Divine Palace. If we lose this pillar of support, everyone will have to die. If that is the case, then let’s just avenge them.”

“We have not reached that stage yet. Let’s wait for news from Yi Chan and the Shadow Emperor. We still have four days.” Jiang Yi massaged his forehead, raised a cup of wine, and drank. He quietly waited for Yi Chan and Fifth Eldress to return.

…

Time passed quietly and soon, three days were up. However, there was no news from Yi Chan or Fifth Eldress. There was still one more day left. Jiang Yi was getting more and more anxious. The appointed date of the rendezvous was almost upon him. If the Yi Chan and Fifth Eldress did not come back soon, he could only head to Evil Thearch City first.

Afternoon!

Yi Chan finally sent a message from the Flying Space City, saying that Fifth Eldress was bringing her and flying frantically back. Jiang Yi immediately went to the Mystic Thearch Pavilion and teleported Yi Chan and Fifth Eldress into the Mystic Thearch Pavilion. He asked anxiously, “What’s the situation?”

Yi Chan swiftly explained. “The duo had indeed entered the Evil Thearch City. However, they are not in the Evil Thearch Castle. They were in a standalone side yard. Also, this side yard belonged to a consecrator of the She Clan. At least three hundred martial experts are protecting it.”

Fifth Eldress also nodded, indicating that the Shadow Emperor’s men had found out the same information. Jiang Yi’s killing aura emanated all at once as he stood up and shouted, “It was indeed the She Clan? Does the Evil Thearch have a death wish?”

“Jiang Yi, do not be reckless!”

Yi Chan hurriedly held on to Jiang Yi, saying, “It is highly likely that the Evil Thearch does not know about this matter. Furthermore, it is impossible that the She Clan would do something as inhumane as this. There is something else. There are only two people in the side yard; more than two people were abducted from Stellarsky Continent, right? Hence, this is definitely a set-up. Li Feiyu had already said that he can think of ways to help you to save the two of them. You should not act recklessly.”

“I will not!”

Jiang Yi said coldly, “However, this consecrator of the She Clan has to be apprehended. That way, we can then interrogate him and find out who the mastermind is and save my grandfather and the rest. Hence, I have to go the Evil Thearch City!”

“How about this?”

Jiang Yi City paced up and down the Mystic Thearch Pavilion, waved his hand, and said, “Yi Chan, you go to the Li Clan again. Ask Li Feiyu to secretly bring men to infiltrate the Evil Thearch City. I will directly fly to Evil Thearch City and attract everyone’s attention. You guys will secretly save the two men; as for everything else, we will deal with it as it comes.”
