Chapter 1547: I am Very Certain He is Not Dead

The world would never ever stop flourishing because of one person’s absence.

Without Jiang Yi’s presence, the Earth Emanations Domain was equally lively while the Demon-Buster Valley was as boisterous as ever. People ate, drank, philandered, went on missions, and earned battle merits as per normal.

Qi Qingchen brought the Fire Phoenix Army continuously on missions as the Fire Phoenix Army grew stronger and stronger; it now had five hundred men. Her rules for recruitment had also not changed: no one not of the Demon-Killing Battle God Realm could join; no young masters were allowed in.

As the Fire Phoenix Army grew stronger, it became easier for it to complete missions. The Fire Phoenix Army also now had priority at choosing missions; this was ordered so by Heavenly King Wu. After battling countless times, the Fire Phoenix Army had become much more united and performed in unison during battles. However, many still thought back fondly at the time when Jiang Yi was around. With him around, it would be even easier for them to fight and complete missions; they didn’t need to be mindful of being corrupted by the Netherworld Aura.

Jiang Yi’s name was now taboo in the Fire Phoenix Army. Qi Yue and Qi Xia had repeatedly reminded that no one was to mention his name. Furthermore, the Fire Phoenix Army took on missions everywhere, except those to the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm and Purgatory Mystic Realm. Qi Yue and Qi Xia knew that although Qi Qingchen said nothing and acted like everything was normal, she still had a knot in her heart that could not be untied.

Till this day, Qi Qingchen still thought that Jiang Yi had died because of her.

You Tianni had wanted to drug and r*pe her; that was why Jiang Yi had grown reckless and angry, killing so many people. Qi Qingchen was very strong; she never ever revealed weakness in front of other people. However, she was still a woman; this was something that could not be changed.

Almost twenty days had passed since Jiang Yi entered the Purgatory Mystic Realm!

Many people within the Demon-Buster Valley had already forgotten about him; perhaps no one was willing to mention this name. Even Mo Huaisang had almost completely forgotten about him. Only when she returned to her castle every time would she suddenly recall how Jiang Yi looked liked and feel slightly adrift.

…

In a castle in the Earth Emanations Domain, Jiang Yi Prefecture, Blue Eagle Mountain; Yi Chan sat in the master’s seat as Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue stood behind her. They had already been in the Earth Emanations Domain for seven days; that was almost two Lower-Domain years. All three had reached the God General Realm while their soul spirits were at the peak-stage God General Realm!

“Black Deity, ask Xiao Hong to inform Poison Spirit; he must come here to see me in two hours. If not, he will have no need to see us ever again.”

Yi Chan was maddened. They had cultivated like crazy and raised their soul spirits to the peak-stage God General Realm and had come out of seclusion together. However, after waiting for more than fourteen hours, Poison Spirit still had not appeared. It was said that he was out handling some matters and needed some time before he could return.

Who was Yi Chan?

She actually had long felt that something was not right. She was very familiar with Jiang Yi; if Jiang Yi knew that they had come, he would definitely think of all ways to return to see them. However, two Lower-Domain years had actually passed; Jiang Yi had not appeared. Something was definitely wrong.

Yi Chan was enraged. Poison Spirit, however, appeared punctually within the stipulated time. He actually indeed had some matters to attend to; however, he had not returned immediately naturally to avoid Yi Chan and company. He wanted to drag as long as possible; with Yi Chan now maddened, he knew that he could not delay any longer.

“Poison Spirit pays his respects to my three madams!”

He floated in like a ghost as he greeted respectfully. He looked at the trio as he bowed once again and said, “Congratulations on the speedy progress in improving your soul spirits!”

“Cut the crap!”

Yi Chan’s eyes flashed cold. Although she was only at the God General Realm, she acted with as much authority as Xiao Hong. She said coldly, “Poison Spirit, our soul spirits have already reached the peak-stage God General Realm; can you bring us to the Demon-Buster Valley now?”

“Uh—”

Poison Spirit’s eyes shifted as he hesitated. He then said, “My three madams, there is actually no need to head to the Demon-Buster Valley so anxiously. I had received a message from my Lord not long ago; he would be here in at most ten days. My three madams, it is very troublesome to teleport to the Demon-Buster Valley; I need permission from Lord Mo Lingqiu. Lord Mo Lingqiu is the second most powerful person in the Earth Emanations Domain…”

“Shut up!”

Yi Chan suddenly slammed the table next to her heavily as it instantly turned into a fine powder.

Her eyes were icy-cold just like a lioness that was prancing. She stood up suddenly as she said, “Poison Spirit, you still dare to lie to us at this moment? Do you think that we are dainty, weak ladies that could be bullied? Black Deity said that you are our husband’s most loyal subordinate; is this how you show your loyalty? Do we really have to head to the Demon-Buster Valley ourselves?”

Yi Chan was indeed authoritative; it was similar to Jiang Yi’s, though slightly weaker. Poison Spirit was immediately flustered. If it had been a man who spoke this way to Poison Spirit, he would probably have stabbed that person a few times. However, this was a woman; it was also his master that he felt guilty towards. He was both scary and flustered at the same time!

“Madam, I…”

Poison Spirit wanted to defend himself. However, seeing Yi Chan’s eyes, he didn’t dare to say anything. He took two deep breaths as he suddenly genuflected heavily, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said, ‘My three madams, I am guilty. Young Lord… he has actually passed away!”

Boom!

As if thunder roaring in a bright, sunny day, Yi Chan and the other two ladies’ bodies shook as their faces immediately became pale-white. Yin Ruobing’s eyes rolled, and she almost fainted on the spot as Su Ruoxue hurriedly supported Yin Ruobing.

Although Su Ruoxue’s memories were still sealed and have not been unblocked—in the depths of her soul spirit, she remembered that Jiang Yi was the most important person to her. After she married Jiang Yi subsequently, she also decided that she would follow him for the rest of her life. The three had pined for this moment their entire lives; they had gone through so many hardships to ascend and had waited two full Lower-Domain years here; this was the news that greeted them?

“You are lying!”

Although Yi Chan’s face was extremely pale, she did not look flustered. Her eyes shifted as she said, “My husband is not dead; do not spout nonsense!”

“I deserve to die!”

Poison Spirit kowtowed heavily as he didn’t explain anymore. He also didn’t mind Yi Chan’s harsh words as he continued to kowtow and asked for forgiveness.

“Ruobing, Ruoxue, stay calm.”

Yi Chan’s voice rang out as it startled Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue. Yi Chan’s gaze looked at Poison Spirit as she said angrily, “Poison Spirit, stand up! Listen to what I have to say: my husband is not dead. If he is dead, I will sense something. I am very sure he is not dead; you understand?”

“Uh?”

Poison Spirit, Su Ruoxue, and Yin Ruobing’s eyes looked at Yi Chan with astonishment. Su Ruoxue and Yin Ruobing suddenly thought of something as their eyes lit up. Yin Ruobing’s voice shook as she asked, “Big Sister Chan, you can really sense it? Could it be your Astral Body…?”

“That’s right!”

Yi Chan answered very firmly, “My Heavenly Thunder True Body is very special; my body has an imprint that our husband has left. If he really died, this imprint would disappear.”

“Ah?”

Poison Spirit was stunned once again as he twitched his lips many times. He then gulped as he asked, “Madam, are you sure you are not joking?”

Yi Chan answered firmly as she nodded and said, “I am not!”

Swish!

Poison Spirit’s eyes shone as he hurriedly walked outside. His voice floated in as he said, “Please wait patiently here, my three madams. I will definitely bring Young Lord home.”

“Stop! Scram back in here!”

Yi Chan used her heavenly powers to amplify her voice as Poison Spirit could only float back in again. Yi Chan said coldly, “Bring me along; the imprint on my body can sense the exact location of my husband.”

“We will go as well.” Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue said in unison.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Poison Spirit thought for a while and decided to bring the trio to the Demon-Buster Valley. He intended to go and look for the Earth Emanations Sovereign first, for the Earth Emanations Sovereign to send formidable martial artists to escort them. Then, when they reached the Demon-Buster Valley, he would find Qi Qingchen to head to the Purgatory Mystic Realm together. With so many formidable martial artists following along, the three madams’ safety would not be in question.

If something happened to the three of them when he was not in Jiang Yi Prefecture, he would not be able to answer for it.

Swish!

The four hurriedly flew outside as Poison Spirit sent a voice transmission for Xiao Hong to take over management of the prefecture as he brought the three madams and headed to a Teleportation Formation.
