Chapter 1555 - Little Eagle King’s Fury

“Wow!”

A commotion instantly broke out. Little Eagle King, Qiu Ren, Bai Ditian, and Ren Tianfan were stunned. Poison Spirit’s words hit hard, and many young masters’ eyes revealed their fear. Who was Jiang Yi? That was a lunatic. If he really was not dead and returned, knowing that they had harmed his wives; everyone would probably die a horrible death, right?

“Ridiculous!”

However, after a moment, many people snapped out of it, feeling that it was very ridiculous and laughable. Jiang Yi was not dead? How was this possible? Twenty days had passed; even Heavenly King You himself would have died by now, right? Hence… everyone deduced that Poison Spirit was probably scaring them.

Little Eagle King also instinctively felt that Poison Spirit was fooling them; Jiang Yi could not be still alive. Little Eagle King had visited this Purgatory Mystic Realm many times. He at most could only stay here for one day. That was already thanks to the Ink Feather Race’s superior speed and powerful soul spirits.

However, Poison Spirit had said!

The three unfamiliar ladies were Jiang Yi’s wives, and Poison Spirit had asked him to help them on account of Jiang Xiaonu. The Little Eagle King hesitated at this moment. He didn’t like Jiang Yi; he actually detested Jiang Yi very much. However, if they really were Jiang Yi’s wives, he would definitely have to help on account of Jiang Xiaonu. His senses were very sharp, and from the looks on Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and the others’ faces; he already knew that something was wrong.

This was indeed a set-up!

Jiang Yi had already passed away; these people were still furious, however, and wanted to vent their anger on Jiang Yi’s wives. The Little Eagle King hated these kinds of things. He always believed that rivalries or conflict between men should be settled openly and directly and not using schemes and ploys, certainly not implicating the innocent. How despicable was it to bully a few fragile women? If they wanted to kill Poison Spirit, they should do it openly through a duel; what type of men were they if they tried to kill him like this?

Hence, although Little Eagle King hesitated for a while, he still spoke, “General, I think that there is more to this matter. How about… I personally escort them back to the Military Law Hall and let the three Commanders-in-chief hold a public hearing? Poison Spirit, are you willing to surrender and head back to the Military Law Hall to receive your punishment?”

Poison Spirit looked at Little Eagle King gratefully as he nodded and said, “If the Little Eagle King is personally escorting, I would never resist!”

“Uh?”

This time, it was Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and others who were at a loss. Ren Tianfan’s eyes glistened as he was obviously in a bind as well. If Little Eagle King brought everyone back, today’s set-up would have been for nothing. Once they returned to the Military Law Hall and Heavenly King Wu and others knew about this, they would at most punish Poison Spirit. They wouldn’t kill him, and Jiang Yi’s three wives would be safe and sound.

Poison Spirit’s guess was right!

Ren Tianfan was the Heavenly King Wu’s henchman on the surface; he was actually a subordinate of the You Clan. Heavenly King You was extremely ambitious; he wanted to dominate the Demon-Buster Valley on his own. Heavenly King You had placed many men inside the Demon-Buster Valley, and Ren Tianfan was one of them.

Furthermore, Heavenly King You knew about this matter this time. If Heavenly King You had not given his consent, Ren Tianfan would not have dared to reveal his identity.

Heavenly King You had agreed because he wanted Poison Spirit dead. In the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm, Poison Spirit had cut off his finger; Heavenly King You’s face had been utterly lost. If Poison Spirit had stayed within the Earth Emanations Domain his entire life, Heavenly King You might not have pursued this matter to kill Poison Spirit. However, now that Poison Spirit had come to his territory, how could Heavenly King You not seek revenge?

With Jiang Yi dead, Poison Spirit no longer had his pillar of support and was just a traitor of the Phantom Race. So what if someone found out about this set-up in the future? So what if Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long knew about this? The two Heavenly Kings would definitely not go head-on against Heavenly King You because of such an insignificant person. Furthermore, who hadn’t done anything unspeakable before? The supposed upright and fairness of the three Heavenly Kings was just a smokescreen for outsiders.

Ren Tianfan thought for a while and came to a decision!

This time, his identity had been exposed; this plan must succeed. If he didn’t succeed this time, he would not have such an opportunity in the future. Poison Spirit, Yi Chan, and company would definitely not make the same mistake again; and he couldn’t possibly try to harm them in the Demon-Buster Valley or Earth Emanations Domain, right?

Ren Tianfan smiled coldly and said, “Little Eagle King, I had not even pursued your folly in this matter; you’d actually jumped forward and volunteered yourself? What is your intention for wanting to escort them back? Do you not know how terrifying Poison Spirit is? If he attempted to assassinate me, I would probably have a hard time staying alive. Also, why did they hide within your troop? Can you give me an explanation?”

At this moment, five minutes had just passed; and the red light in the sky vanished. The Lunar Beasts hurriedly retreated as the vicinity dimmed swiftly. Hearing Ren Tianfan’s words, Little Eagle King’s face darkened even more, and his expression was extremely ugly.

His eagle-like eyes glowed with green light as his wings and claws appeared with a green glow. His ferocious aura emanated as he stared at Ren Tianfan and shouted, “General, I had always respected you. I have long ago accumulated enough battle merits and had not challenged you to a battle and taken your position to give you some face; don’t make me regret my decision. If I really killed you, do you think the three Commanders-in-chief would dare to kill me?”

“Wow!”

An uproar ensued; the soldiers that had wanted to chase and pursue the Lunar Beasts suddenly all retreated as everyone’s eyes were filled with doubt. Little Eagle King’s status was too special while Ren Tianfan was the Heaven-Splitting Army’s commander; the two actually wanted to fight each other now?

If the two really fought, everyone wouldn’t know what to do. No matter who they helped, they would offend the other party.

“Hahaha!”

Ren Tianfan laughed out loud, his face full of rage and killing aura. He shouted, “Little Eagle King, do you really think that you can be so overbearing in the Earth Domain just because the Green Eagle King is your father? You want to kill me? Come! I would like to see if you are capable enough. All are to listen to my orders: take Poison Spirit down! If he dares to resist, kill him!”

Swish!

After speaking, Ren Tianfan flew in between Poison Spirit and Little Eagle King. If Little Eagle King wanted to save Poison Spirit, Ren Tianfan would definitely attack and stop him. Ren Tianfan had the moral high ground here; he had nothing to be afraid of. Although Little Eagle King was very powerful, Ren Tianfan was the number-one formidable martial artist below the King-Ranked martial artists; he was confident he could severely wound Little Eagle King.

“Yes, General! Everyone, attack!”

Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and countless young masters roared as all the formidable martial artists surged towards Poison Spirit. Poison Spirit’s eyes shifted. It seemed that if he did not flee now, he would die here today. Even if he could kill those coming to him, how many could he take down?

“Time to go…”

He did not hesitate as he created hundreds of clones and directed them to flee in all directions. While he did not fear death, he wasn’t going to die without a cause or reason. He wanted to go to the Divine Tree and rescue Jiang Yi. If not, Yi Chan and company were in serious danger.

“Ren Tianfan, if you want to battle, I will fulfill your wish!”

Little Eagle King attacked furiously. He didn’t care about Poison Spirit’s survival; he wasn’t going to let Ren Tianfan act foolishly anymore. As long as he could defeat Ren Tianfan, he would be able to protect Yi Chan and company. His wings flapped furiously as two ghastly green claws magnified in Ren Tianfan’s eyes; if his claws struck Ren Tianfan, he was definitely going to die.

“Attack towards the south! You idiots, the real Poison Spirit is escaping!”

Ren Tianfan glanced over at Poison Spirit’s clones and saw that countless Titled Battle Gods were attacking the clones while the real Poison Spirit was escaping to the south as he hurriedly shouted. At the same time, he started to fight with Little Eagle King.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Countless attacks streaked to the south as Poison Spirit’s true self was exposed. His entire body was blasted as blood and flesh were exposed. However, Poison Spirit did not turn at all as he rushed to the south, with more than a hundred Titled Battle Gods pursuing him crazily.

On the other hand, Little Eagle King and Ren Tianfan started to battle while the ordinary soldiers of the Heaven-Splitting Army hurriedly retreated. Chaos ensued.
