Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After roasting thousands of Martial Arts Hall members, Jiang Yi swept his divine sense around the Martial Arts Hall again. Only after he had confirmed there was no one else alive did he returned. He stored Jiang Xiaonu and the others back into the Universal Palace before flying back out.
None of them were injured; they merely consumed a kind of medicine which caused them to be powerless and unable to circulate their essence force. Once the medicinal effect had dissipated, they would naturally recover.
Boom! Boom!
After flying out from the palace, Jiang Yi waved his hand to cleave a few times. With every cleave, countless small fire dragons flew out as the attack razed the majestic Martial Arts Hall to the ground.
Swish!
His divine senses swept out from towards the southern valley. Very quickly, he discovered two wooden sculptures like how Jiang Bieli had mentioned to him. He instant-shifted towards the south and used his hands to pry open the ground. He dug out two look-alike wooden sculptures and also an ancient divine essence ring.
The two wooden sculptures were big and small respectively. There was a carving of a person on it; a beautiful lady who would be able to cause a person’s heart to be intoxicated, Yi Piaopiao.
Jiang Bieli’s carving technique was pretty decent. These two wooden carvings were vividly similar to the white jade sculpture in the Starfall Island. Both looked like extremely vivid. Jiang Yi was even able to tell the sculpture was smiling faintly.
“The small one is for you. If you can find your mother, pass the big sculpture to her.”
Recalling Jiang Bieli’s words, Jiang Yi realized this sculpture was definitely the same as the one he had given to Yi Piaopiao long ago. Contained within it was an illusion that Jiang Bieli left behind for him. He didn’t dare to release his essence force to refine this sculpture because once he had refined it, the illusion that Jiang Bieli had left behind would disappear forever.
He shut his eyes as he inhaled a deep breath of air. Ultimately, he chose to release his essence force as it enveloped the small wooden sculpture slowly.
True enough—!
Wooden sculpture shone in white radiance, and the world before Jiang Yi changed. It turned pitch-black, and a figure gradually condensed—it was actually Jiang Bieli.
“Jiang Yi!”
Jiang Bieli was beaming in a faint smile and muttered, “When you see this illusion, it would mean that I have died. Don’t be sad, because I have failed my responsibility as a father. I’m not worthy of your sadness.
“I have made a lot of right choices in this life. One of them was meeting your mother. I loved and wooed her, and we loved each other. I felt that it was the wisest decision I have ever made. Of course… I made a lot of mistakes as well. Like how I chose to stab your mother back then, causing us to become enemies. Even after the incident, I didn’t choose to redeem myself and inquire about your existence, causing you to grow up in hardship. Today, I’m telling you this isn’t because I hope for your forgiveness, but I wish to talk about what happened back then. That’s all.
“I’m born in the Western Garrison Liege Lord’s residence and am the second eldest child in the clan with a big brother above me. I believe you should have heard of it before. The ideology handed to me was to assist the Divine Martial Kingdom with all my strength and help to revitalize the Divine Martial Kingdom. Therefore, my dream has always been to become the no.1 official throughout history and to help the Divine Martial Kingdom to unify the world. If so, the Jiang Clan would become the number one clan. I have always been striving for it.
“When your mother learned about this ideal of mine, she helped me out wholeheartedly by helping me established a lot of achievements with blood and sweat. Unfortunately, I’m a commoner son of royalty. Therefore, your grandfather decided to hand over the positions of Liege Lord and Clan Head to your uncle. After hearing this news, your mother was angered and ran to kill your uncle, causing your grandfather to vomit blood in anger. When I learned of this news, I was stupefied. I had always been a person of filial piety and would strictly follow the rules. Your mother’s action had exceeded my bottom line. Therefore, I went to interrogate your mother in the moment of rage…
“There was no need to talk about the outcome. Your mother had devoted her heart to me, but after getting interrogated and scolded by me, she was infuriated. Adding on her fiery temper, both of us erupted into a fierce clash. I told her to kneel down and apologize to your grandfather, but she was obstinate and refused. She handed over her sword and told me to just stab her to death. Ultimately, under the impulse of my anger, I stabbed her! The moment the sword pierced her, I could sense the despair within her. I also knew that at that moment, the destiny between us was cut off!
“After that, she went to the other side of the world with the injuries. During then, your grandfather was angered to the point of being bedridden. Because your mother had killed your uncle, the clan was in chaos. In addition, your mother had offended a lot of people during those years. Therefore, they all conspired and plotted against her in the dark. Even the royal clan had placed a bounty on her, judging your mother as the traitor and causing her to be pursued by the entire kingdom. During then, the Jiang Clan was in a mess internally and externally. I could no longer care for your mother and chose to stabilize the clan first.
“After that, your grandfather died of illness, and I became the successor of the Western Garrison Liege Lord. Because your grandfather was angered to death by your mother, I wanted to look for her. However, because of all kinds of obstruction, I did not send anyone to do so. Besides, I have no idea how was I going to face her after I had located her. In the second year, I turned the name of Western Garrison City into Jiang Yi City. In fact, I was trying to let your mother know that I still loved her a lot…
“Unfortunately, three years later, Jiang Yunhai came. He brought a handwritten letter from your mother, stating that she had returned to her homeland, and Jiang Yunhai never spoke of your existence. Therefore, I could only suppress the longing I had for your mother deep inside my heart. The suppression lasted for several years… until your emergence.
“I was really surprised by your emergence and was also very happy about it. During then, I should have head over there myself. Because of pride and how your mother had chosen to conceal your existence, it caused me to feel uncomfortable to do so. Therefore, I got Jiang Rentu to move 30,000 troops over to the Ten-Thousand Dragons Valley. Following which, you sent them back, causing me to feel extremely embarrassed. Therefore, I ignored you and allowed you to continue drifting. In the end, I hurt your feelings as well.
“Because of your grandfather’s influence, I had always been very arrogant and paid strict attention to the rules. Therefore, even though I wished to search for you to apologize for not taking care of you for the past few years, I did not do so because of my pride. Therefore, I missed the opportunity, time and again, causing the resentment you had for me to grow even deeper.
“When your Soul-Subduing Herb was stolen away by Xia Wuhui, I was at a loss of what to do. I wanted to step forth and help you to get it back from Xia Tingwei. Ultimately, I didn’t do so because of pride as well. Never had I imagined that you would be so merciless and chose to rebel against the Divine Martial Kingdom as you attacked the bridal escort army, causing the whole Divine Martial Kingdom to jolt from the news. That time, I chose an extremely wrong decision… that was to expel you out from the Divine Martial Kingdom.
“I always wished to be the no.1 official throughout the history, and the Jiang Clan had always been loyal to the Divine Martial Kingdom for generations. Therefore, after I learned the news of your betrayal, I found it hard to accept and exploded in anger. Furthermore, I had long known that Xia Tingwei had broken through to the Vajra Realm. If I wasn’t going to declare my position, the whole Jiang Clan might be annihilated. Thus, I chose to expel you out from the Jiang Clan heartlessly. I know that this decision of mine had hurt your feelings tremendously…
“Later on, whenever Xia Tingwei made a move on you, I knew of it, but my heart was at a loss and in pain. On one hand, I wished to help you out, but on the other hand, I was afraid to implicate the whole Jiang Clan. Therefore, I could only watch him made a move on you on the sidelines while I witnessed how you suffered. Luckily, you managed to avert the disaster every time and created miracles after miracles.
“My son, I’m proud of you, and I had also reflected on my actions seriously. I had been acknowledged as a hero of this generation, but at this moment, I understood that I’m no hero. At the very best, I am only a coward. A coward who doesn’t dare to love or hate and looked on as my beloved woman went far away from me… while my son suffered.
“Therefore… please don’t feel sad for me. I only wished to help you out for a final time and do what a father should do so as to make up for the guilt I had for you. I had already settled down the Jiang Clan in an isolated island. Therefore, you need not be concerned about them. If I managed to leave my corpse behind, please bury it in Starfall Island because that was the location I had known and fell in love with your mother! Goodbye, my son. I know that your mother isn’t dead. If you manage to find her, please help to transmit a message over to her. She would forever be my most beloved woman…”
The illusion gradually disappeared while Jiang Yi still had his eyes shut in sadness. Unknowingly, his cheeks were already streaming with tears.
