Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 1009 - Not Enough

Chapter 1009: Not Enough

A few thousand miles to the south of Tiger Subdue Mountain, Jiang Yi was cooped up in a cave under the snow plains. He was like a boneless worm, curled up and cradling his head.
He wasn’t asleep. He just didn’t know where to go or what to do. His mind was in a mess, filled with sorrow, bitterness, and helplessness. Only by curling up in this worm-like position could he feel a tinge of warmth.
He needed time to settle down. As he could not stay on Tiger Subdue Mountain, he found a place at random for him to recover. He was like a lone wolf licking its wounds in a corner.
As Fifth Eldress had said, there was no point in seeing Su Ruoxue. He now realized that it would have been better not to have seen her. If he had not, at least there were still some remnant thoughts that he could hold on to. Now that he had seen her, he actually felt so deeply hurt; and it was abnormally hard to bear.
Hoo-Hoo!
He laid in the cave for a full two hours. Jiang Yi finally took a deep breath and turned over, revealing a sliver of a bitter smile. He was emotionally strong, managing to recover within two hours. If it was someone else, the person could have possibly gone mad.
“At least… everything is well with Su Ruoxue. That is sufficient for me!”
He muttered to himself, turning his bitter smile into a full-heartened one. So long as Su Ruoxue was well, nothing else mattered. Since she had lost her memories, he could find ways to help her regain them. If she cannot leave the Soul Cleansing Pool, he could help the Heaven Hidden Sect accomplish those two missions. So long as there is a sliver of hope, he would not give up. No matter how tiring or hard, he would persevere. He knew that Su Ruoxue was having a harder time than him.
“Calm down, calm down!”
He kneaded his face roughly and forced himself to calm down. He made the right decision to leave Tiger Subdue Mountain. If he wanted to think of how to take Su Ruoxue away—how to help her recover her memories, that would only harm her.
“From today on, Jiang Yi, you have to forget about Ruoxue until these two missions are completed!”
Jiang Yi secretly made up his mind. So what if he managed to bring Su Ruoxue away by force? Su Ruoxue would still die one year later. The only solution would be to think of a way to flatten Dwarf Mountain, enter the Mystic Divine Palace, and obtain the sacred treasure of the Heaven Hidden Sect.
“There can be no more delays!”
Jiang Yi’s made up his mind swiftly. The longer he waited, the more the situation would be disadvantageous for him. This journey to Tiger Subdue Mountain was the best opportunity. He had to seize it and instigate a battle between the two races. This was the only way to sour relations between the two permanently.
“I need to find a chance to kill Qiu Bai!”
If it was the death of just one young clan head, the Tiger Subdue Sect could still suppress the Dwarf Race. However, could the Dwarf Race tolerate the death of yet another young clan head? If the Dwarf Race continued to tolerate, they would no longer have a standing in the Snow Region, with any clan openly killing members of the Dwarf Race.
He ruminated in the cave for a full day and night. When dawn finally came again, he thought of a plan. He did not leave abruptly but continued to stay in the cave. Today was the birthday banquet for the Tiger Subdue Sect Patriarch. If Jiang Yi went to Tiger Subdue Mountain today, he would probably meet Cao Peiwen. Cao Peiwen was number two in the entire Snow Region. If Cao Peiwen saw through his disguise and knew his real identity, there would be trouble.
Bang!
When night came, Jiang Yi flew out of the cave and sped straight towards Tiger Subdue Mountain.
He was a few thousand miles away from Tiger Subdue Mountain. He did not dare to move too fast in the dark. By his estimates, the banquet would have long ended by the time he got up Tiger Subdue Mountain. He would also not run into Currmudgeon Cao.
His eyes were ice-cold as he moved like the wind. It was rare for it not to snow at night in the Ice Plains. However, the sky looked dark, and it looked like there was some oppression in the air. The astral winds also seemed more concentrated in the night. If one was unlucky, one could get struck by the astral winds and die. However, Jiang Yi did not have to worry about this. To him, astral winds were just an inexhaustible source of energy.
In the middle of the night, he reached the Tiger Subdue Mountain. After the disciples of Tiger Subdue Sect reported this, Mo Qi and a commander from the Tiger Subdue Sect came personally to receive him.
“Mo Xing, where have you been? Sacred Lady is worried sick.”
Mo Qi saw a Jiang Yi that was unscathed and seemingly relieved of a huge burden. However, the commander from Tiger Subdue Sect looked at Jiang Yi as if viewing a monster. Jiang Yi was too abnormal yesterday, with many people thinking he had gone crazy.
“I am ok. I took a spin nearby. Thank you, Elder and Sacred Lady for your concerns.” Mo Xing coldly cupped his hands.
“Great! Great!”
Mo Qi sighed with relief. Jiang Yi was the future of the Heaven Devil Race. He was very important to Mo Shen. Now that he had returned to his original self, Mo Qi was able to relax. He hurriedly brought Jiang Yi up to the peak of the mountain. While flying, he sent a voice transmission: “Quickly head to the castle. Sacred Lady is waiting for your return. She didn’t even go to attend the banquet.”
“Uh…”
Jiang Yi was slightly stunned. He followed up to the peak of the mountain and into the castle they were staying in. As soon as he entered the gate, a gust of aromatic wind came gushing towards him. Mo Yao’er held on to Jiang Yi’s hand and said, “Mo Xing, you have finally returned. What on earth happened?”
“Nothing! This is men’s business. You women should not interfere!”
Jiang Yi glared at Mo Yao’er and went straight inside. He ignored the strange looks that some elders were giving him. After Jiang Yi glared at her, Mo Yao’er actually managed to calm down. Jiang Yi appeared the same as before, which meant that there was nothing serious to be concerned about.
“What are you looking at? All of you, leave.”
Mo Yao’er coldly looked at the elders that have gathered and walked to Jiang Yi’s room. She activated the room restrictions and saw Jiang Yi sitting silently on the bed. She shouted shyly, “Chief!”
“En!”
Jiang Yi snorted and pointed at both his legs. Mo Yao’er hurriedly knelt on the bed to massage Jiang Yi’s legs. After a while, she stole a glance at Jiang Yi and asked carefully. “Chief, do you know Saint Lady Xue?”
“No, I don’t!”
Jiang Yi coldly said, “She just looked very similar to a friend I knew. I was mistaken.”
“A friend?”
Mo Yao’er became slightly guarded. She asked, “Where is she now? In the clan?”
“She died…”
Jiang Yi closed his eyes and sighed. “We were a match made in heaven and grew up together. Four years ago, she went on a trip with her father, and all were killed by members of the Dwarf Race. The first time I saw Saint Lady Xue, I thought it was that friend. Hence, I forgot myself.”
“Oh, so that is the case.”
Mo Yao’er finally understood. The suspicions and fears in her left her. She gently looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Mo Xing, don’t be sad. A dead person cannot be resurrected. You have also killed so many members of the Dwarf Race. You have avenged them already.”
“Not enough!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly had a vengeful look to them. He gritted his teeth and said, “I was in the vicinity at that time. I watched them get killed with my own eyes. I already know who the killer was. That dwarf is now on Tiger Subdue Mountain. He is one of the commanders under Qiu Bai.”
“Ah?”
Mo Yao’er was frightened by the murderous intent in Jiang Yi’s eyes. She tried to persuade him. “Mo Xing, you can’t act recklessly. This is Tiger Subdue Mountain. Furthermore, King Father had already ordered not to start any conflict with the Dwarf Race. Anyone who disobeys will be punished by sect rules.”
“Don’t worry!”
The corner of Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed certain coldness. He uttered, “I will not take action on Tiger Subdue Mountain. I will also not take action first. I will force members of the Dwarf Race to initiate an attack and then kill them all. Yao’er, do not become part of this. I, Mo Xing, will be responsible for my own actions. Once this matter is settled, I will go back and seek forgiveness from Sect Patriarch.”
“How could I let you?”
Mo Yao’er immediately stopped the massage, stood up straight, and said, “Mo Xing, since you have decided on this course of action, let’s detain Qiu Bai and all of his men. So long as we act flawlessly, the Dwarf Race will not have the evidence to pin anything on us. You need to remember that this was my idea. At most, King Father will lock me up for a few months. That’s all.”
