Chapter 1125: Let’s Wait for a While

The seven Thearchs had brought a dozen or so Demigods respectively and headed straight for the peak of the mountain. The Sonar Thearch brought the Chen Clan Grand Elder and followed behind. However, the Sonar Thearch was wearing a bamboo hat this time and kept his eyes shut; no outsider could see that he had no eyes.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Hundreds of thousands of people from the base of the mountain also flew upwards. Of course, with eight Thearchs present, no one dared to ascend to the peak of the mountain. They only encircled the Mystic Divine Mountain, suspended in mid-air, as they observed what was going on. To be able to witness the Mystic Divine Palace being obtained by someone was in itself an honor.

Seeing the eight Thearchs all rushing to the peak, many people were secretly guessing that perhaps the Mystic Divine Palace treasure hunt was not over; the eight old men could actually start a fight over it. Ultimately, who managed to get the Mystic Divine Palace was still up in the air.

“Eh?”

Many people looked around and were alarmed. There were a few people that had not been teleported out yet. The treasure hunt had ended, and besides the person who had obtained the treasure—by right, everyone else should have been teleported out. Could it be that the missing people were all dead?

“That’s not possible. Zhan Tianlei, Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, She Fei, Jian Wuying, and… that Li Tian have all not been teleported out. It is not possible that so many martial experts had perished! Who on earth had obtained the Mystic Divine Palace? Why have the rest not been sent out?”

“That’s right, Zhan Tianlei and She Fei are both Demigods; they couldn’t have perished, right? Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing’s strengths are astonishing as well while Jian Wuying has numerous treasures on him. That Li Tian was number one up the Road of Azure Clouds. How could they have died?”

“This is strange. Could it be that everyone else had fallen?”

“That’s not possible. In fact, not many people had died trying to clear the stages. Even if Yi Chan and company could not surpass all the stages, they wouldn’t die. They have cardinal treasures on them, how could it be possible?”

The entire Mystic Divine Mountain was becoming lively. The Battle Thearch, Sword Thearch, and Yin Thearch’s eyes were shining. Zhan Tianlei, Jian Wuying, and Yin Ruobing had not appeared. That showed that it was possible that one of the three had obtained the Mystic Divine Palace. The Evil Thearch, however, had a mocking look on his face. Even She Fei had been killed by Jiang Yi, what chance did Zhan Tianlei and Jian Wuying have?

The Mystic Divine Palace was shining, and the light was getting brighter and brighter. The Battle Thearch, North Thearch, and the rest exchanged glances, but no one moved.

At this moment, the Mystic Divine Palace was being refined. Before ascertaining who had gotten the Mystic Divine Palace, no one would dare to make a move. Whoever dared to snatch it now would face the Battle Thearch, Sword Thearch, Yin Clan, and the Demigods from the Yi Clan.

Time passed slowly but surely. The Mystic Divine Palace continued to glow brighter, and the pressure coming from it was becoming much and much scarier. Those who had attempted the challenge all didn’t dare to stay on the mountain and flew ten thousand feet away from it. Only a group of Demigods dared to stand within a thousand feet of the Mystic Divine Palace.

The sky had also steadily darkened as the sun slowly set in the west, turning half of the sky red. The night winds came blowing and ruffled everyone’s clothing; it was very comfortable. The night was coming soon, and once it became night astral winds would appear in the sky. As the Mystic Divine Mountain was very high up, this place would become extremely dangerous. However, no one retreated, and no one spoke a word. It was silence everywhere.

Buzz!

Finally, the Mystic Divine Palace started to glow radiantly again. This time, the glow was as strong as that of a scorching sun that no one dared to look at it directly. The Mystic Divine Palace rocked furiously as the winds and clouds in the sky shifted, with essence force crazily gathering on top of the Mystic Divine Palace. After that, an image could be seen forming in mid-air.

That was the scene of a thatched house. The door to the thatched house was ajar, and there was a red-headed youth sitting cross-legged inside. There was a jade talisman glowing in his hand. His eyes had just opened and were glowing like the stars; it was very frightening. There were also faint bolts of lightning flashing in his eyes; this young man was evidently not ordinary.

“Wow…”

The crowd roared and the atmosphere grew more and more exciting. The entire area surrounding the Mystic Divine Mountain was filled with excited chatter. It wasn’t because the Mystic Divine Palace had been taken by someone and also wasn’t because this young man’s aura was frightening. It wasn’t even about the phantom image that had appeared in the sky above the Mystic Divine Palace; it was all because of the face of that red-headed young man!

This face was not unfamiliar to many disciples of the various clans on the East Imperial Continent; in fact, it was very familiar. That year, when he had become the Art Thearch on Sin Island, this face was made known to all clans, big and small. Subsequently, after he had created a bloodbath in the North Thearch’s four regions, this face became forever etched in many people’s soul spirits.

Jiang Yi!

A man who had made the East Imperial Continent suffer so much humiliation!

The Nine Thearch Clans represented the East Imperial Continent. Since Jiang Yi had effectively slapped the Wu Clan’s face, that had resulted in shame for the entire East Imperial Continent. After all, Jiang Yi had come from Sin Island and had close ties with the Endless Deep Sea.

Now, the Mystic Divine Palace had actually been refined by him and taken by him. This made countless people’s face burn, and their eyes filled with rage.

“How did Jiang Yi enter?”

That was a question that surfaced in many people’s heads. Under the watchful gaze of so many Demigods and with the Battle Thearch in the Mystic Thearch City, how could Jiang Yi have managed to enter the Mystic Divine Palace undetected?

Hoo-Hoo!

The Evil Thearch was furious, and his aura was extremely violent. The North Thearch’s eyes were spewing fire while the Beast Thearch’s expression was very complicated. The Battle Thearch, Yin Thearch, and Sword Thearch all looked coldly on. Only the Xuan Thearch appeared calm; no one knew what he was thinking about.

Conversely, the Sonar Thearch—Chen Pengfei’s mouth revealed a smile. Though the Chen Clan Grand Elder’s face was expressionless, he could barely contain the delight in his eyes. Although the Mystic Divine Palace had not been obtained by Chen Chen, it landing in Jiang Yi’s hands was not bad either.

However, the Chen Clan Grand Elder and the Sonar Thearch’s faces swiftly became very unnatural; the Evil Thearch and the North Thearch had revealed their utmost killing aura. Their auras were gathering strength and obviously wanted to attack the Mystic Divine Palace. They seemed to not mind destroying it in order to kill Jiang Yi.

“Huh!”

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s face had changed as well. When he was refining the Mystic Divine Palace, he discovered that he could feel everything about the Mystic Divine Palace as well as sense what was going on outside the palace. He saw so many Demigods present and also felt a few auras so strong that they could make one tremble. He was shocked: so many martial experts had come?

Jiang Yi did not recognize the North Thearch and company. Among so many supreme martial experts, he only knew the Evil Thearch and the Sonar Thearch. He saw that the Evil Thearch and North Thearch’s hands were lit up and immediately sensed that things were not going well.

He had refined the Mystic Divine Palace, and his brain was receiving many pieces of information. The problem was that he didn’t have the time to process them now, and so he didn’t know how to use the Mystic Divine Palace at all. If the Mystic Divine Palace was destroyed by these martial experts, he would not only be letting the Mystic Thearch down, he might also not be able to protect his own life.

“Wait!”

Hence, he shouted at the top of his lungs. He did not expect the sound to be transmitted through the jade talisman and travel outwards, ringing out in the entire vicinity of the Mystic Divine Mountain. The voice was very loud and very spiry; it was similar to the Mystic Thearch’s voice back in the days.

“Hmph!”

The Evil Thearch did not want to hear any nonsense from Jiang Yi. He also knew that Jiang Yi had not figured out how to use the Mystic Divine Palace yet. This moment was thus the best one to attack the Mystic Divine Palace and kill Jiang Yi. He did not hesitate and started to take action.

The Battle Thearch and the rest, however, did not react. Seeing that the Evil Thearch wanted to take action, none of them had any intention of stopping him either. Surprisingly, it was the Xuan Thearch who was standing at a side that opened his mouth and said, “Old Evil, let’s wait a while. The Mystic Divine Palace is something left behind by the Mystic Thearch. Let’s see what the lad has to say.”

“Eh?”

Many people looked at the Xuan Thearch in surprise. This was Ling Qijian and Ling Shiya’s granddad, and yet he looked no different from a middle-aged man. This man also didn’t show himself much normally and had always kept a low-profile. He was actually preventing the Evil Thearch from taking action at this moment?
