Chapter 1589: Famous Throughout the Ten Thousand Domains
One of the biggest-scale battles in recent years of the Earth Domain had ended with the appearance of a mysterious Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist and her powerful attack!
Heavenly King Wu brought his men back to the Demon-Buster Valley while the few King-Ranked formidable martial artists all went back to their own domains. Qi Qingchen also led Jiang Yi and returned to the Demon-Buster Valley. Although things already seemed to die down, the entire Earth Domain would probably take another half a month to finally stop talking about this.
One King-Ranked formidable martial artist had been killed while a few thousand young masters had perished. Almost all the Divine Yang Race formidable martial artists had been slaughtered while the Divine Yang Race—that had been biding its time and building its strength for a hundred years—had been ruined by Jiang Yi single-handedly.
You Feng’s death and the revelation of the Divine Yang Mystic Realm’s location had also indirectly created a crisis for the Divine Yang Race. Previously, the Divine Yang Race had offended so many great family clans; now that the Divine Yang Mystic Realm’s location was known to all, those who wanted revenge would definitely seek it. The Divine Yang Race was probably not going to be able to escape the impending calamity.
If the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament had made Jiang Yi’s name known to many, this battle had made Jiang Yi famous in all the ten thousand domains. There weren’t that many King-Ranked formidable martial artists in the Earth Domain that were known; most people knew no more than twenty of them. Jiang Yi, however, had killed one of them.
Most importantly, Jiang Yi had actually managed to survive after being surrounded by several King-Ranked formidable martial artists. Although Heavenly King Wu had ordered for the details of this battle to be sealed and not be spread to the outside world, how could this matter be suppressed?
From all sorts of channels and sources, information started to leak. As the rumors spread, it grew more and more incredulous. Towards the end, it was said that Jiang Yi’s battle strength had been so powerful that he had suppressed a few King-Ranked formidable martial artists at once.
An ascendant!
An ascendant who had only been in the Earth Domain for a couple of months and was still considered a youth in Higher-Domain terms; Jiang Yi could actually battle and kill a King-Ranked formidable martial artist and held off six other King-Ranked formidable martial artists, including Heavenly King Wu. These few King-Ranked formidable martial artists were more than a couple hundred years old c.u.mulatively; this was in Higher-Domain years.
The second Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch!
The most powerful ascendant in history was the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch; Jiang Yi was now the second.
That year, the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch’s battle strength had been formidable; he had ascended at a very young age. Similarly, he had encountered much opposition after coming to the Earth Domain and had battled everywhere he went. Finally, he managed to kill a path for himself and become the number-one person in the Earth Domain.
After becoming the number-one in the Earth Domain, the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch headed to the Heaven Domain and made a name for himself from his battle accolades. He then became the fifth Supreme Thearch and founded the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Unfortunately, he had been killed by the Netherworld Thearch himself at the end.
Jiang Yi’s reputation had successfully overtaken that of Little Eagle King and Qi Qingchen, to become the number-one young genius in the Earth Domain; that was indisputable now. After all, if Qi Qingchen fought with Heavenly King You, she would definitely die. The Little Eagle King was even weaker than Qi Qingchen at that.
For those who weren’t willing to admit to this?
Why not try and kill a King-Ranked martial artist alone? Could one survive after being attacked by six King-Ranked formidable martial artists? Could one kill so many people and still reside within the Demon-Buster Valley peacefully?
…
“Keke!”
Within the Fire Phoenix Army, Qi Qingchen wore a snow-white dress as she enjoyed her tea. She looked at Jiang Yi sitting quietly at a corner as she smiled faintly and said, “Jiang Yi, your reputation now even precedes mine; should I give you my general position as well?”
Jiang Yi glared at Qi Qingchen as he replied expressionlessly, “Stop it! Do I need to vie with you if I want to be a general? Commander-in-chief Long had actually sent word that if I wanted to, I could become the general of the Heaven-Splitting Army anytime I wanted. I asked someone to respond and decline on my behalf already.”
“Oh?”
Qi Qingchen stretched out a pair of white-jade hands as she personally poured tea for Jiang Yi. As she was leaning forward slightly, a little of her bosom could be seen; and Jiang Yi took it all in. It was very tempting for him. Qi Qingchen seemed to not notice that Jiang Yi had peeked at her bosom as she lowered her head and said, “Then, why don’t you leave? If you become a general, you will have all the power you want. It’s definitely better than being an Inspector-General here in my army.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi withdrew his glance as he smiled a little and said, “What other reason could there be? I can’t bear to leave you.”
Pshaw!
Qi Qingchen snorted. She suddenly thought of something as she blushed and said, “Jiang Yi, stop thinking dirty. If we go according to age and seniority, you actually should call me auntie; I am very close to your mother. The last time… what my father had said was all for show; he wanted to only motivate you and didn’t mean it.”
“How is this possible?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes widened as he said exasperatedly, “Who is the Wintry Sovereign? His word is gold and cannot be taken back; how could he not mean what he had said? Has Uncle left? If not, I want to go and ask him about this.”
“Sit down!”
Seeing that Jiang Yi was about to rise, Qi Qingchen’s face grew cold as she said, “What trouble are you going to cause? If you continue like this, I will kick you out of the Fire Phoenix Army.”
“Hehe!”
Now that Qi Qingchen had exerted her authority, Jiang Yi did not dare to tease her anymore. He smiled gleefully and said, “I was just joking; why are you so sensitive? Did you really think that I couldn’t bear to leave you? If I am in the Fire Phoenix Army, I can earn more battle merits while I will have you as my free helper. Why should I go to the Heaven-Splitting Army and help clean up the mess there? I’m not stupid!”
“I am your free helper?”
Qi Qingchen’s face grew even colder as she snorted and said, “So this is what you have planned. Alright, from now on, I will not partic.i.p.ate in any more missions; you can bring some troops and lead them yourself.”
“Don’t, don’t; I know my mistake now. I am wrong! Is that okay?”
Jiang Yi’s face became very sad as he begged over and over again; indeed, he could never win a quarrel with a woman. His eyes s.h.i.+fted as he immediately changed the topic, “Right, General. Could you send someone to contact the Little Eagle King?”
“I have already done so.”
Qi Qingchen frowned as she said, “The Green Eagle King had brought the Little Eagle King back to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm; I had to ask Majesty Father to help me send a message. According to the news I received, Little Eagle King had been locked up and will not be released until he reaches the King-Ranked Realm. Your three wives, Di Ling’er, Mo Huaisang, and Poison Spirit should be with him now. The Ink Feather Race’s reply was that they didn’t know any further and couldn’t help us.”
“…”
Jiang Yi had asked Qi Qingchen to help and bring Yi Chan and company back; now that he received this news, he was at a loss. The few should be very safe in the Ink Feather Mystic Realm; Green Eagle King wouldn’t go to the extent of making things difficult for a few weak women. Furthermore, one of them was the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s granddaughter while another was Di Ming’s granddaughter.
Thinking about this again, it seemed as if he could only ask for the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s help to rescue them. He asked Qi Yue to enter as he instructed her to send word to Mo Changhe. Mo Huaisang was Mo Changhe’s daughter; he should be rather anxious to get her back, right?
Jiang Yi had not left the Fire Phoenix Army all this while and had cooped up inside it. He wanted to wait for things to settle down before he headed out for missions again. If he walked about now, he would be getting many stares that would make him uncomfortable.
“Keke!”
Qi Qingchen’s beautiful eyes s.h.i.+fted as she suddenly spoke with a sour tone, “Jiang Yi, it seems as if you are very fortunate. I hear that your three wives are all absolute beauties. You men are all the same; you are all philanders.”
“I’m not!”
Jiang Yi shook his head and said, “You do not understand; those three wives have gone through thick and thin with me; we have a very strong and deep connection, and no one can live without the other. I have never fooled about in the Earth Domain because I was afraid they would be hurt; I have sealed my heart ever since I entered the Earth Domain, and it will only be open again for them. Of course… if you say that I am philander, I admit to that. After all, fate is something that the heavens had ordained. After all, how could a man not give his all for a beautiful woman to whom he was indebted to?”
As Jiang Yi spoke, he closed his eyes as his face showed a faint smile and his deep thoughts. He evidently was thinking about Yi Chan and the others. Qi Qingchen was slightly stunned by Jiang Yi’s expression as she thought of the scene in the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm, where Jiang Yi had wanted to kill You Tianni for her sake and even challenged Heavenly King You to a battle to the death. That look that Jiang Yi had made her heart quiver.
“When I was born, my Lord was not; by the time my Lord was born, I had aged. Things don’t always go our way in life…”
She sighed softly. Jiang Yi was a man of emotions; that attracted many women to him. If it wasn’t for their age and generational difference, she might actually have really considered it.
