Chapter 854: Reinforcements

Demon Empress had a miserable life. Back then, she escaped from the jaws of death and sneaked from the Stellarsky Continent back to the Heaven Fox Continent. This was because she was from the demon race, was not attacked by any powerful demon race, and successfully ascended to the mid-tier demon thearch in the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. Otherwise, she would lose her life halfway.

After she returned to the Heaven Fox Continent, she immediately started planning for revenge. However, she never expected the clan that extinguished hers nurtured a lot of prodigies over the past 2,000 years and grew by more than ten times. Her opponent had over a dozen demon thearchs and three mid-tier demon thearchs. She, on the other hand, had just recently become the mid-tier demon thearch. She naturally lost the battle and fled after being severely injured.

She was pursued all the way. If it was not because of the Beast Tide in the Desolate East Sea which let her obtain a treasure and increase her speed tremendously, she would never escape.

She fled in a rush and eventually strayed into the territory of the Black Fox Race. Her ending was needless to say. She was captured alive and sent to this ore vein as a slave.

It was tragic to be a slave in this place. She was beaten up every day. Most importantly, her demon core was destroyed along with all her cultivation, which made her heart despair. If it wasn’t for her concern with Xiao Fei, she would commit suicide a long time ago.

Five years!

For over 1,800 days and nights, she lived like the dead with the other slave miners. None of them escaped or hoped that someone would rescue them as the Black Fox Race was the mightiest presence. If the White Fox and Blue Fox didn’t ally with each other, they would already be annihilated.

Even when the great array was opened and when all the slave miners heard the noise outside, nobody had any hope of getting off. They all lied in the mines indifferently. Only till Jiang Yi burst out shouting and said the long-lost ‘Demon Empress’, she woke up.

Swish!

Jiang Yi pierced through the sky and flew down. There were a few guards under the ore vein, who were all low-tier Heaven Monarchs. When they saw Jiang Yi and his group charging in, they rushed over madly as expected.

“Die—”

Jiang Yi shook the soft sword in his hand, a terrible sound wave rippled to the two sides before he suddenly slammed down the Fire Dragon Sword and numerous thunders, reducing the dozens of Heaven Monarchs flying from two sides into ashes.

Swish!

Qianqian and ten White Fox Elders flew down as well. Jiang Yi glanced at the myriad low-grade guards not far away. His eyes shrank, and he shouted, “You guys kill all the Black Fox guards, spare no one!”

“Uh…”

Demon Empress quivered again. The other slave miners were even more terrified and looked at Jiang Yi and the Elders who rushed to the guards in awe. Demon Empress looked at the incoming young man in bewilderment, and her lips trembled for a while again. She blinked her eyes and asked one more time, “You… are you Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi who comes from the Stellarsky Continent?”

Looking at Demon Empress with very few withered and yellow hair and an aged face, Jiang Yi’s eyes got redder. He nodded heavily and said, “Yes, I am that Jiang Yi who comes from the Stellarsky Continent. Demon Empress… I came too late. You have had it hard! Alright, I’ve brought Xiao Fei with me; she manifests to a human!”

Jiang Yi took out the Thearch Palace and said solemnly, “See, this is the Thearch Palace, the one that you gave me. Xiao Fei is in there.”

“Xiao Fei?”

Demon Empress’s tears flowed down like a stream. She trembles all of a suddenly and shook her head violently. “Jiang Yi, don’t transport Xiao Fei out first. I don’t want her to see me in this shape.”

“Very well then.”

Jiang Yi’s heart hurt more badly at the sight of Demon Empress’s panic. Upon seeing that a female White Fox Elder standing behind him and doing nothing, he immediately got angry and shouted, “Are you all morons? Why haven’t you treated Demon Empress’s wounds?”

That female Elder quickly flew over. If Jiang Yi was annoyed, she would probably be struck by a thunderbolt and turn into ashes, too. A white light glowed on her hand, and she gave Demon Empress an elixir to aid the recuperation.

“Jiang Yi, go out first. I will change the Demon Empress and help her heal!”

Qianqian walked over after killing some guards. Jiang Yi nodded and shot out. When he saw many low-grade Heaven Monarch guards ready to escape, he was provoked instantly. His body flashed, and the Sky-Turning Cauldron appeared, which was smashed at the Black Fox guards indiscriminately.

Boom! Boom!

The result of the battle in the sky faraway was clear now. Black Deity was too fierce. He was not only good at the attack but also at defense and speed, which made Hei Hu—the Black Fox Thearch—be at his wits’ end. With the help of Tuoba Qin whose combat strength was pretty okay, Hei Hu could barely resist the two. The other Empress was not so lucky; she barely escaped the hit by Black Deity and was indescribably miserable.

“Tuoba Qin and this lord, why did you attack our Black Fox Race for no reason? If you leave right now, I can put this behind us!”

Hei Hu turned his eyes and began speaking in a cold voice. However, Black Deity and Tuoba Qin paid no heed to his words and continued with their attacks. Hei Hu realized that he would be doomed if the current situation persisted. He quickly released a powerful attack and yelled in a stern voice, “It’s not too late for you to run now. I have called for reinforcements. Once they arrive, you won’t be able to flee.”

Tuoba Qin burst out laughing and said coldly, “Hei Hu, who are your reinforcements? Why don’t you share with us, and we may be deterred.”

“Hmph!”

Hei Hu sneered and said, “I sent message to Lord Ao Lu in the Endless Deep Sea just now. He has already released the Art of Transference and will be here any time. Humph! Tuoba Qin, you don’t have a pleasant history with Lord Ao Lu. Run when you can!”

“Hahaha!”

Both Black Deity and Tuoba Qin burst out laughing. Jiang Yi and Qianqian in a distance sneered upon hearing this. Tuoba Qin soon mocked and said, “Hei Hu, are you blind? Do you know who your opponent is? He is Lord Black Deity who ranked six among the 36 Emperors in the Endless Deep Sea. Do you know who that beautiful green-haired young lady is? She is Lord Ao Lu’s favorite granddaughter, Princess Qianqian. Last time, when Lord Ao Lu returned, I asked you to pay a visit with me. What did you tell me back then? You said that Lord Ao Lu was just older but was weaker than you?! Humph… I won’t say the nasty words following this!”

“Ah?”

Hei Hu was stunned. Black Deity’s face was full of wrath. He shouted angrily, “How dare you to desecrate Great Emperor! You will die today!”

“Lord Black Deity?”

When Hei Hu saw black light radiating from Black Deity who was obviously going to release powerful attacks, he quickly fell back and screamed anxiously, “Lord, it’s all misunderstandings. If I knew it was you, I wouldn’t dare to fight against you. Lord, please don’t listen to this bitch. I have nothing but respect to Lord Ao Lu. Last time when my Lord returned if I wasn’t… wasn’t caught up by something important, I would visit him with a generous gift. Lord, please stop fighting, our friendship will be hurt!”

“Hurt your goddamn ass!”

Black Deity was surged with killing aura. Black light glowed, and he turned to his original form. A dragon howl pierced through the sky, which almost disrupted Jiang Yi’s essence force and caused him to crash onto the floor. Qianqian and her group who just left the mine with Demon Empress also felt their feet tremble and also fell. Demon Empress turned pale with fright when seeing the giant dragon which was over 200 meters long and seemed to be built by iron and steel.

She turned around and saw Tuoba Qin retreating quickly in fear of being accidentally injured by Black Deity, she became even more shocked. Pointing at Tuoba Qin, she said in excitement, “Is that… the Thearch of our White Fox Race? Why is… the Thearch here?”
