Chapter 254: Demonic Beast Insurrection

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With the Soul-Subduing Herb in hand, Jiang Yi didn’t stay in the royal capital anymore; neither did he bother about Ling Qiang and Ling Jian. He controlled the Dragon Eagle to fly straight towards the north.
“Huh…”
Su Diwang and a group of officials walked out of the palace hall and were shocked to see the gigantic grooves outside of the palace hall. They had heard rumors about Jiang Yi’s combat strength, but this moment had justified the rumors.
They were even more startled by the statement that Jiang Yi roared from the sky. Many of them had guessed that Jiang Yi didn’t have a normal relationship with Su Ruoxue, but they didn’t know they were so intimate. Jiang Yi might have sounded presumptuous in his declaration, but it proved how deep his affection was for Su Ruoxue.
Su Diwang was actually repenting in his actions and was concerned that the Soul-Subduing Herb had been taken by Jiang Yi. How was he going to explain to Xia Wuhui? But now, he felt that giving Jiang Yi this Soul-Subduing Herb was actually a good move.
Jiang Yi was only 16 years old!
His combat strength might look weak in appearance, but his overall combat strength was so heaven-defying that he could intercept and kill an entire army by himself! A group of Soul Travel Realm experts, including the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm, Eunuch Wei, Taishi Zhen, and Su Diguo were helpless against him. He even forced the Crown Prince of the Divine Martial Kingdom to flee like a dog!
Jiang Yi was able to achieve the no.1 rank in Mt. Spirit Beast College, achieve the no.1 rank in the Kingdom War, and was able to create multiple miracles. It was probable that he might continue to create miracles.
He was already able to kill a Soul Travel Realm expert at the age of 16. What about when he would be 26 or 36 years old? If Jiang Yi concealed himself and stepped on the pinnacle of the martial dao several years later, the Great Xia Kingdom’s royal clan could ask Su Ruoxue to seek assistance from Jiang Yi when the kingdom was in peril; and Jiang Yi would definitely offer his help!
This world’s martial strength was formidable, and true martial experts could change the entire power situation of the continent. Take this for example: if Shui Youlan was to ally with any of the vassal states, that kingdom would have an immediate increase in strength. If she was to ally with the Great Xia Kingdom, it was imaginable that none of the other kingdoms would dare to attack the Great Xia Kingdom, because… she alone could go against a million-strong army!
In the event that one of the top ten martial experts on the continent actually broke through the final stage of the Vajra Realm and attained the strength of the Heaven Monarch Realm, the individual would be able to conquer the whole continent. In the history of Heaven Monarchs, Massacre, Ten-Thousand Dragons, and many more pinnacle experts—they were all heroes that conquered the whole continent with the strength of themselves.
A martial artist at the Heaven Monarch Realm was matchless and invincible!
It was just like a Vajra Realm martial expert pitted against a Soul Travel Realm expert, or a Soul Travel Realm expert pitted against a Purple Mansion Realm expert. The difference between each realm couldn’t be accountable with numbers. Once a martial artist’s strength was at the Vajra Realm, the assistance from artifacts would be less effective, but the martial artist would begin to comprehend the heaven dao at this realm and possess the dao pattern attack that was much superior to any saint artifact!
If Jiang Yi was able to break into the Heaven Monarch Realm…
Su Diwang didn’t dare to think about the matters in the future. He looked towards the bright blue sky and had this subtle regret. What if Su Ruoxue was to marry Jiang Yi instead of Xia Wuhui? Would it bring ten thousand years of glory and prosper to the Great Xia Kingdom?
…
The incident of the Kingdom Banquet was over, and it quickly spread out to the entire continent, giving fame to Jiang Yi’s name again.
Patrol Envoy Jiang!
It was a comical title and one that didn’t garner any high regards. Jiang Yi had completely become an unlucky star in all the clans’ opinion, causing trouble wherever he went. A few of the kingdoms were rejoicing but were wary at the same time—as they didn’t wish for Jiang Yi to go to their kingdoms. He was someone that would cause chaos even if they killed him or left him alone.
Divine Martial Kingdom, Royal Palace!
“Patrol Envoy Jiang? Ke-Ke, he is indeed the seed that came from Bieli and Yi Piaopiao. He is surely as great as his mother in creating disturbance! Yi Piaopiao, how many treasures did you actually leave for your son? Hurhur, you better pray that he conceals himself and never reappears in this kingdom for his entire life; otherwise, this King shall behead him!”
Xia Tingwei didn’t smash his cup this time as he revealed a profound smile from the corner of his lips instead.
There was a flash of a black shadow all of a sudden, which quickly froze his smile. An expert that was covered in black robes knelt on one knee, saluting the King before he lifted his face and revealed this grave expression from his eyes. “My King! There is a problem! That person in the mountains has exited his seclusion! The members of the Covert Group has brought forward and initiated the plan!”
“What?”
The wine cup that Xia Tingwei was holding onto shook and crash to the ground, breaking into pieces.
He suddenly stood up, and his dark eyes flickered multiple times before he roared out with anger, “Jiang Yi. It is all because of that bastard Jiang Yi! If not for him, Wuhui and the army would have returned. He has messed up my plans!”
He paced around in the palace hall and walked a few rounds before he yelled out, “Go summon Bieli here.”
“Shh-shh-shh!”
Just as he finished giving his orders, a stalwart man walked in valiantly and had this grave expression on his face. He shouted out before he even walked in, “My King, I am here! There are violent movements in the mountains, and the Covert Group has acted according to the original plan.”
“Bieli, you received the news, too?”
Xia Tingwei had this imperative look as he fixed his eyes on Jiang Bieli and asked, “What should we do now? Wuhui and the rest will only depart three days later. When that happens, they will surely encounter them; and everyone will have to die…”
“Just let them die!”
Jiang Bieli gave a casual reply, which caused Xia Tingwei to lift his brows. If he didn’t know that Jiang Bieli had utmost loyalty, he would have thought that Jiang Bieli wanted Xia Wuhui to die because of Jiang Yi’s matter.
“This matter is even more serious than I imagined!”
Jiang Bieli quickly gave his explanation as his tiger eyes were glistening with chilling light. “That person is infuriated and has activated all his men, heading directly for the Great Xia Kingdom. If this operation is successful, it might be beyond our expectations! Hence, to avoid any suspicion, we have to sacrifice some things. Of course, the Crown Prince cannot perish; thus, we will get Eunuch Wei and Taishi Zhen to evacuate with the Crown Prince first. As for the Divine Martial Camp… let them be the sacrificial goods.”
“Sacrificial goods?”
Xia Tingwei hesitated, but his eyes suddenly shot out with light as he yelled out, “Shadow! Send the message for everything to go according to plan. Send someone to pass the message to the Crown Prince, to quietly evacuate once the operation begins!”
Once the black-robed expert vanished with a flash and quietly concealed himself, Xia Tingwei and Jiang Bieli looked at each other before they quickly revealed a smile on their faces, especially Xia Tingwei who was so excited that his king’s body was shivering. He asked with a serious tone, “Bieli, will we succeed this time?”
“Definitely!”
Jiang Bieli had confidence written on his face as he bowed slightly. “My King, prepare to ascend the throne and become an Emperor that reigns supreme!”
…
Since Jiang Yi left Summer Rain City, he didn’t make any pauses and headed straight for Mt. Thirty Thousand, ignoring the matters regarding the Azure Dragon Empire and leaving Ling Qiang and Ling Jian back at the city without any regards for their lives.
He was clear that the Azure Dragon Empire treated him as a blade and was just making use of him. Hence, he naturally wouldn’t devote himself to serve the Empire.
After flying for a certain amount of distance, Jiang Yi found a forest and dove in, changing his mode of travel using the Zouwu Beast. He was like a prominent target in the sky, and his whereabouts would be tracked down by the various scouts.
After diving 30 kilometers into the ground, Jiang Yi made haste nonstop through days and nights. When he was hungry, he would eat some rations. If he was sleepy, he would lie down on the Zouwu Beast and rest. When he was bored, he would cultivate.
The Summer Rain City was just a three days journey from Mt. Thirty Thousand. Because of the Zouwu Beast’s rapid speed, it would take just two days to arrive at Mt. Spirit Beast.
With the Soul-Subduing Herb in his hands, his heart was burning urgently and didn’t have the mood to continue staying in the Great Xia Kingdom. Of course, the reason why he left so quickly was because of another important reason. He was escaping; he didn’t want to see the woman he loved to marry Xia Wuhui. Since he had no power to go against it, then… they’d rather not meet again.
“Boom-Boom-Boom!”
After traveling for two nights, Jiang Yi was awakened by some subtle sounds of tremors. He blinked his eyes before he had this change in expression as his eyes shrank.
He was 30 kilometers under the ground, and the tremors from the surface actually traveled all the way here? Only an army that numbered in the millions would be able to cause such a huge tremor, right?
“This isn’t good. It is shaking underground too. There must be many experts or demonic beasts nearby. Big Huang, go to the surface, quick!”
Jiang Yi might not know what was happening to cause tremors so far underneath the ground, but his first reaction was to immediately escape from underground and summon the Dragon Eagle to fly high up in the sky.
“Moo-Moo!”
Big Huang roared out twice, and its voice was filled with alarm and fear, too. It used the fastest speed to rush towards the surface, taking just a few blinks of the eye to rush towards the surface. The closer they got to the surface, the tremors got even more intensive.
“Bang!”
The surface of the ground suddenly burst open while Jiang Yi flew out from within. Once he was out of the ground, he immediately yelled, “Big Huang, return! Dragon Eagle, appear!”
“Chu-Chu!”
A giant Dragon Eagle appeared, and Jiang Yi leaped onto it. In the next second… he looked afar and got an immediate shock. The Dragon Eagle didn’t extend its wings and fly into the sky; it fearfully dove underground instead!
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to escape, but he couldn’t escape at all!
Demonic beasts!
There were innumerable demonic beasts; the sky and ground were covered with demonic beasts!
From the direction of Mt. Thirty Thousand, countless demonic beasts blanketed the sky and the ground like locusts. With a single glance, Jiang Yi couldn’t even see the end of the demonic beast wave, which contained at least hundreds of thousands of them!
Those that traveled on the ground and flew in the sky—Jiang Yi could even feel many formidable presences underground, too. In other words, he had nowhere to go and nowhere to flee.
At the front of the demonic beasts were formidable demonic beasts standing several meters tall and were all at least of tier-three peak-grade. There were probably tier-four demonic beasts which were Demon Kings!
The one that Jiang Yi was most fearful of was this absolutely beautiful woman that flew among the countless aerial demonic beasts. It might look like a human, but the vicious aura oozing from her body was superior to any of the demonic beasts.
Tier-five Demon Emperor!
It was a demonic beast insurrection from Mt. Thirty Thousand.
