Chapter 1485: Rising Five Ranks Consecutively

“Where is this Demon-Buster Army camp?”

Jiang Yi had noticed the Little Eagle King and a formidable martial artist battling and had not taken in his surroundings. He started to look about to size up the vicinity. He realized that this place was not a domain at all; it should be a mystic realm within the spatial zone.

This mystic realm wasn’t that big; one could see its borders with a single glance. It was probably only around ten kilometers big. The spirit energy here was very concentrated; it was at least a few times that of the Earth Emanations Domain’s. At least a hundred huge totems surrounded the edges of this mystic realm. Each of them was ten thousand feet tall while they were all glowing and connected together by beams of light, forming a gentle light shield.

Vegetation grew at the sides of this place, and the surroundings were rather beautiful. However, there weren’t any tall mountains around; it was all flatlands. In the middle of the flatlands, there was a huge, jade-white city plaza; it was where Jiang Yi and the others were currently at. The city plaza was completely surrounded by castles, all orderly constructed; there were probably more than a thousand of them. Behind the castles were the army camps. Jiang Yi looked there casually and roughly guessed that there were probably ten army camps. Inside each camp, flags and banners were in full display as the winds whistled by and struck on them. Tents filled the camps, and many armored soldiers were walking around in them.

“The Demon-Buster Army!”

Jiang Yi looked at the biggest castle in the city plaza and saw a silver flag on the top of it that read these words. There were also a hundred martial artists standing guard outside this castle; they were one and all Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent and were very imposing.

“He! He!”

The shouts from the sky from the Little Eagle King and the formidable martial artist caught Jiang Yi’s attention. Jiang Yi took a few looks and sent a voice transmission to Di Ling’er: “Who is the Little Eagle King fighting with? Can everyone openly duel and battle here in the Demon-Buster Army camp?”

“Of course not!”

Di Ling’er explained, “They must have made a request to battle; it is forbidden to do so without permission in the Demon-Buster Army. The punishment for doing so is severe, and no exceptions are made. If anyone dares to kill someone else, the former would be executed immediately; even the Little Eagle King would not be exempted from this.

“I do not recognize the person battling the Little Eagle King…”

“Oh!”

Jiang Yi was rest assured. As long as he did not accept any duels, he was safe. He wasn’t going to be afraid about losing face. Jiang Yi looked at Mo Huaisang and saw her mesmerized by the Little Eagle King flying in midair as he shook his head slightly and said, “Young Mistress Huaisang, shall we go ahead and report first? You can come back later to watch.”

“Ah?”

Mo Huaisang was startled as a sliver of embarrassment and awkwardness appeared on her face. She hurriedly explained, “I… I wasn’t…”

“Alright, let’s go and report first.”

Jiang Yi smiled slightly, thinking nothing of Mo Huaisang’s actions. Although he didn’t dislike Mo Huaisang anymore, he also didn’t have any positive feelings for her. He brought the group as they headed to that biggest castle. At this moment, a middle-aged, awe-imposing man walked over with two companions. After seeing Di Ling’er, the man’s eyes lit up; and he waved, “Little Ling’er!”

“Third Uncle!”

Di Ling’er’s face also revealed her delight as she speedily went forward and grabbed onto that man’s hand. She said jestingly, “Third Uncle, I have not seen you in a few years; I miss you so much! Why haven’t you gone back to see me…?”

“Hahaha!”

The middle-aged, awe-imposing man laughed out loud as he touched Di Ling’er’s head dotingly and said, “It has only been a few years, and you have already become such a beautiful lady. I had thought of going back to see you. Unfortunately, affairs in the military are really too hectic, and I couldn’t find time to leave. Alright, Little Ling’er, introduce your friends to me.”

“En.”

Di Ling’er looked slightly flushed as she pointed at Mo Huaisang and said, “This is Young Mistress Mo Huaisang; she is Uncle Mo Changhe’s daughter!”

“I see, it is Brother Changhe’s beloved daughter!” The man smiled, nodded, and said, “Brother Changhe is now out on a mission; he will only be back in a few days.”

Mo Huaisang’s face revealed her disappointment as she obediently bowed and greeted, “Greetings to Uncle Di.”

“This is Battle God Jiang Yi, the Demon-Killing Pavilion Great Minister of Public Works. His title was given to him jointly by the Sovereign and Lord Ye Sheng. The other man is Poison Spirit.” Di Ling’er continued with her introductions. She then looked at Jiang Yi again and said, “Jiang Yi, this is my third uncle. He is Di Qianjun.”

“Greeting to Lord Di.”

Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit bowed at the same time. Di Qianjun’s eyes lit up as he laughed and said, “So you are Jiang Yi? Father had long sent word to me about you. You are very well-known now; Father’s appraisal of you is very high.”

Jiang Yi hurriedly said humbly, “Lord Di, you are too kind.”

“Sure!”

Di Qianjun also nodded to Poison Spirit, then beckoned, and said, “I’ll bring you guys to report first and arrange your accommodations. Later on, I will explain to you guys about the rules and happenings of the Demon-Buster Army.”

The group followed Di Qianjun inside the castle. At this moment, the Little Eagle King suddenly struck the formidable martial artist he was fighting as the latter crashed heavily into the city plaza, causing its restrictions to shine rightly. From the ground, another formidable martial artist also shouted, “Alright, that’s enough. The Little Eagle King wins this battle!”

“Uh…”

Everyone stopped as Mo Huaisang looked at the high and mighty Little Eagle King in the sky as her eyes grew intoxicated again. Jiang Yi asked curiously, “Lord Qi, who is the Little Eagle King battling with?”

“Oh, that is Commander Long.”

Di Qianjun smiled bitterly as he said, “Ever since the Little Eagle King had come to the Demon-Buster Army, he has battled a total of five times. After this battle, he will now become a commander. Long Gui’s battle strength is considerable; however, it is still lacking against the Little Eagle King. To be honest… if the Little Eagle King were to challenge me, I would not be able to hold on to this commander position anymore.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Yi and the others were astonished as Di Qianjun continued, “There is a rule in the Demon-Buster Army camp: as long as one is strong enough, he can keep battling others; the winner will take the loser’s position. The Little Eagle King has battled five times these few days and has risen in the ranks five times consecutively. If he continues, he would become a general. However… each of the eleven generals has his or her own formidable aspects. While the Little Eagle King might be able to match up to some of them, challenging a general would require exhausting a huge amount of battle merits. The Little Eagle King hasn’t accumulated that many yet.”

“Commander!”

Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit exchanged a glance. The Little Eagle King was indeed ferocious. He had kept on challenging people after coming to the Demon-Buster Army and had now been promoted to commander already. Di Qianjun had probably been in the Demon-Buster Army for so many years; he was now only a commander. Also, the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s son—Mo Huaisang’s father—was similarly also a commander only.

“Something isn’t right though!”

Jiang Yi thought about it and realized: there were ten army camps outside; why were there eleven generals?

He looked at Di Qianjun and voiced his query. The latter explained, “The Wintry Sovereign’s only daughter has arrived. As she is King-Ranked, the three commanders-in-chief have immediately made her a general and given her the right to form her own army.”

“Qi Qingchen!”

Jiang Yi shouted as his eyes shifted, and his face revealed his revelation. Since the Wintry Sovereign was about to give up his position for Qi Qingchen and head to the Heaven Domain, Qi Qingchen had come here to gain experience, stabilize her powers, and increase her battle strength.

As Qi Qingchen had come, the Little Eagle King had followed along. Due to the Little Eagle King’s presence, Mo Huaisang and Di Ling’er had been attracted along as well. Before long, probably more great family clans’ young masters and young mistresses would all be congregating here, right?

Qi Qingchen was the number-one beauty in the Earth Domain while the Little Eagle King was the number-one young master in the Earth Domain. Both were singles from royal clans and were the most ideal partners for all the young masters and young mistresses. Since the two had stepped out from the Wintry Domain and Ink Feather Mystic Realm, how could all these young masters and young mistresses give up this opportunity? To fight and spend time together with them here was the best way to cultivate their relations and find chances to get close to the two.

“Dog sh*t!”

Jiang Yi was a little lost for words. If a huge group of young masters and young mistresses were to come, this Demon-Buster Army was going to become very messy, right? He had not come here to flirt; he wanted to get as many battle merits as he could to speed up his cultivation. He didn’t want these young masters and young mistresses to mess things up for him.
