All was quiet within Evil Thearch City. Previously, when a few Demigods from the She Clan fought with the Li Clan, the civilians’ lives were not affected. For the past hundreds of thousands of years, nobody attacked the city. The civilians thus grew up thinking that they would always be safe and sound. As long as the She Clan had descendants, Evil Thearch City would always be safe. Nobody would dare to attack Evil Thearch City, and no one would try to invade it.
Today, however, a piece of news traveled throughout the city, causing a stir. All the civilians began to panic. It was like they were experiencing the end of time.
Jiang Yi was here!
He was just a thousand kilometers away from Evil Thearch City at that. In fact, he was headed straight toward them.
For the past few years, Jiang Yi had been the bane of Evil Thearch City’s civilians’ existence. He was also their recurring nightmare in recent months. They guessed that Jiang Yi would ride his Mystic Divine Palace one day and flatten all of Evil Thearch City. He would ruin their homes, cause them to lose the protection of the She Clan, and destroy their families.
The good thing was that Jiang Yi did not attack any clan after leaving Mystic Thearch City. He did not create too huge of a scene either. The civilians in the city had been living a relatively peaceful life. However, Jiang Yi had come for them at last. Like an apparition, he would appear in the She Region all of a sudden; and their nightmares would become a reality.
There was chaos within the city. The Teleportation Formations had all been clogged up by hoards of people rushing through them. Although Jiang Yi never killed civilians, the average people did not know this. All they knew was that Jiang Yi was a devil, a blood-sucking demon.
Many clans knew more than that, but to err on the safe side, they decided to gather the weak and vulnerable in their household and move them somewhere else. The more fearful clans decided to move their entire families. Who knew if Jiang Yi had gone crazy and planned to drench all of Evil Thearch City in blood?
The She Clan panicked as well. The good thing was that they were in the city; otherwise, they would probably have fled as fast as they could as well. The Evil Thearch immediately gave orders for the disciples of their clan to move out. They took control of all the Teleportation Formations in the city. The disciples of the other clans were not allowed to use them anymore.
When Jiang Yi arrived outside Evil Thearch City, the Teleportation Formations continued to work. A huge portion of the disciples of the She Clan was being transported out of the city. Of course, all the elders and a big part of the army stayed put. Evil Thearch City was the base camp of the She Clan. If they allowed Evil Thearch City to go down, the She Clan’s reputation would be dragged through the mud. The disciples of the She Clan were proud by nature. A lot of them chose to fight or be buried along with Evil Thearch City.
With the mess going on in the city, Li Feiyu and the others had an easier time sneaking in. Before Jiang Yi appeared, they teleported into the big city next to Evil Thearch City. Then, they snuck around the rest of the way. By the time Jiang Yi arrived outside Evil Thearch City, they were already inside.
Buzz!
The Mystic Divine Palace ascended into the sky, causing the clouds to stir. A human figure about thirty meters tall congealed outside the palace. He had a head of red hair, flying around in the wind. He looked down coolly and shouted, “Evil Thearch, come out and talk.”
The noisy city quieted down the moment they heard Jiang Yi. The people trying to get out of the city suddenly stopped moving as well. The killing intent around Jiang Yi’s body was so intense that they felt like they would be killed immediately if they were caught making a single move.
Everything was quiet inside the Evil Thearch Castle as well. Nobody sent any voice transmissions. The Evil Thearch did not appear as well. Jiang Yi and the others became impatient. He shouted once again, “Evil Thearch, show me some respect. Do you want me to go into your Evil Thearch Castle before you would talk?”
There was a sudden stir in the city. Jiang Yi sounded very aggressive. This threat was heavy as well. If the Evil Thearch did not show up, Jiang Yi would attack the city for sure. Everyone fell silent again very quickly. They looked toward the Evil Thearch Castle, their hearts racing, waiting for the Evil Thearch to appear.
“Hmph!”
There was a loud tut, which echoed in everybody’s souls and caused them to tremble. A figure shot out from the Evil Thearch Castle and flew up above the city. His cool gaze landed on Jiang Yi as he replied coldly, “Jiang Yi, if you want revenge, then go ahead. The disciples of the She Clan are not afraid of cowards. Let me tell you upfront: once you attack Evil Thearch City, there will be a never-ending feud between you and the She Clan. All of your family, friends, and clansmen will surely be the targets of our wrath.”
It looked like the Evil Thearch really did not know what to do. One of the dignified Nine Thearchs had actually made a threat to even Jiang Yi’s friends. He could not break through the Mystic Divine Palace; neither did he want to back down. All he could do was threaten Jiang Yi and warn him not to mess around.
Who knew that…?
This would have been exceptionally provoking toward Jiang Yi. It had the opposite effect to what was intended. Qian Gui and Zhan Yiming were in a Great Consecrator’s resident wing. They thought that the Evil Thearch would have used these two people’s lives to threaten Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi’s expression darkened significantly, but he said nothing. Instead, he released his divine senses from the Mystic Thearch Pavilion and searched all around the city for Yi Chan, Li Feiyu, and the others. He also looked for the Shadow Emperor’s people. He quickly found the resident’s wing according to their hints.
Yi Chan, the Fifth Eldress, Li Feiyu, and the five Demigods of the Li Clan were all inside the city already. They had used the Yi Clan’s powerful disguising elixir. If the Evil Thearch did not look closely for them, he would not have been able to find them.
They’ve taken their positions!
Jiang Yi very quickly located Yi Chan. Although she was disguised as a man, she still had the ghost king’s mask on. A few strands of her purple hair also escaped from inside the helmet that she had on. Not far away from them, the Shadow Emperor’s subordinates left some signs as well. Jiang Yi immediately locked in on the resident’s wing. Yi Chan and the others were seated in a restaurant just opposite it.
The resident’s wing looked big. There were powerful restrictions that had been activated all around it, so that Jiang Yi’s divine senses could not enter. Jiang Yi closed his eyes for a second and decided at that moment to take action.
Tsk! Tsk!
The Mystic Divine Palace’s black light lit up, causing the space around them to break apart. The palace shot into the city. The next thing they knew, the air inside Evil Thearch City shook as the Mystic Divine Palace cut through it and headed straight for the resident’s wing!
Boom!
The restrictions around the resident’s wing suddenly became even stronger, but they still paled in comparison to the Mystic Divine Palace’s powers. With little effort, the palace broke through those restrictions. Jiang Yi shouted, “Now!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Seven figures shot out from the restaurant opposite the resident’s wing. All of them had powerful auras. The frightening Demigods’ auras caused the people nearby and the servants in the resident’s wing to be scared out of their wits. All of them began to scream out in terror.
“How dare you!”
The Evil Thearch became outraged. He flew as fast as he could toward the Mystic Divine Palace. The Evil Thearch’s hand lit up and with an attack. At the same time, he screamed, “All Great Consecrators—act now! Destroy Jiang Yi and execute plan one!”
Swish! Swish!
Ten Demigods flew out from inside the Evil Thearch Castle. Countless more peak-stage Heaven Monarchs followed suit. The Demigods locked in on Li Feiyu and the others and started to attack at once. There was no way that they could break into the Mystic Divine Palace, but they could still kill the people that Jiang Yi had brought along with him.
“Eh? There’s no one?”
Li Feiyu and the others immediately used their divine senses to scan the resident’s wing, but the people Jiang Yi thought were captured there were not. Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan the area at the same time. He, too, could not find Qian Gui or Zhan Yiming.
“Come back into the Mystic Divine Palace!”
Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan the area several more times. Afraid that Yi Chan and the others would be killed, he quickly called them all back. Yi Chan was clever enough to fly back to the Mystic Divine Palace at once. The gates were already open for her, and Yi Chan flew through them.
Chi! Chi!
There were ten colored streams of light which emanated frightening auras. Countless civilians stood rooted to the ground in fear. Formidable martial artists trained in spatial dao patterns were all around, causing the air to keep stirring. This slowed down Li Feiyu and the others significantly. Once again, Jiang Yi’s divine senses swept past them. He controlled the Mystic Divine Palace and caused it to fly downwards, landing right in front of Li Feiyu and the others.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ten streams of light all attacked the Mystic Divine Palace, but the palace remained stable. It continued glowing with the black light. The impact of the streams of light caused the restaurant opposite the resident’s wing to crumble, burying many civilians alive.
Swish! Swish!
Li Feiyu and the others finally rushed into the Mystic Divine Palace. It was only then that Jiang Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was beyond angry. He steered the Mystic Divine Palace toward the She Clan’s Demigods and army.
Billions of lives were lost in the Stellarsky Continent. Jiang Yunhai and the others were still missing. Jiang Yi had been extremely sad for the past few days already. Now, even Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan could not stop him from taking his anger out on the She Clan. He decided to drench the entire Evil Thearch City in blood before talking.
