Chapter 1234: Fight The Battle Alone

Jiang Yi went to a nearby lake and swam around for an entire hour until the heat was released from his body. After that, he returned and told Wu Que’er to set off immediately.
Wu Que’er was the North Thearch’s granddaughter, and the Wu Clan did kill his father. They had a deep-running feud, and Wu Que’er did almost kill him. For these reasons, he could turn Wu Que’er into his soul slave, kill her, or even torture her. However, Jiang Yi felt that raping her would cause him to lose his bottom line and his humanity.
If he did it once, he would do it again and again. If a person lost his bottom line and humanity, he would become evil through and through. He would lose himself and turn into a real demon. That was why he chose to run out and force himself to control his desires.
If a person failed to control his own desires, then this person would never be able to accomplish big things. This was what Jiang Yunhai taught him from a very young age.
The army proceeded quickly. In the next few days, Jiang Yi did not allow them to rest; neither did he allow himself to interact with Wu Que’er alone. He had to keep his calm and ruthlessness. Only then would he be able to survive in Saint Emperor City.
He could not count on the Buddha Emperor and company. They were only there to help Jiang Yi get close to the Buddha Thearch and others. Then, all of them would have to cooperate with Jiang Yi. Everyone was depending on him to accomplish all these things. If he slipped up in the least bit, everyone would perish here. There would be no turning back.
Three days later, a huge city appeared in Jiang Yi’s sight. This city was extremely ancient and run-down. There were moss and spots on the city walls. One could only wonder how many years this city had been around for.
However—compared to the big cities in the East Imperial Continent, this city was considered quite small. Perhaps it was just comparable to an ordinary city there. There were many soldiers standing guard atop the city walls, and all these savages looked much more cultured than the rest. They were battle armor made out of beast skin on their upper bodies, and they held pure-black wooden spears. Jiang Yi scanned them all and realized that there were at least thousands of savages standing around. Among them were more than ten Fierce Warriors, too.
“The Priestess is here! Open the city gates!”
One of the team leaders saw Wu Que’er and called out immediately. They opened the gates, and Wu Que’er led the army into the city. As Jiang Yi walked into the city, he realized that countless divine senses were scanning his body, as well as those of everyone around him.
At this moment…!
Jiang Yi felt extremely nervous. His soul spirit began to tremble, but he was careful not to show any expression on his face. Acting curious, he looked around the area. The divine senses did not pause for too long on his body. After scanning everyone, they retracted.
Jiang Yi heaved a huge sigh of relief and lowered his head subtly. His heart began to feel heavy.
He became sure of one thing just then. He could not control that Saint Priest’s soul spirit. If he had thought of asking Mei Ru to take over the Saint Priest’s soul and attempted it, he would perish for sure.
The space here was strangely solid. Not only him, but the Buddha Emperor also felt that their divine senses could not be activated here. How did these people use their divine senses then? What’s more, they managed to scan all of them the moment they entered the city. This showed that those people’s spirits had already reached a terrifying stage. They were at least several times stronger than the Buddha Emperor.
If Mei Ru attempted to enter the spiritual consciousness of people with such terrifying soul spirits, she would be eliminated almost immediately. His small Fire Dragon Sword soul spirit would also not be their match. These were formidable martial artists who trained even their soul spirits!
Jiang Yi was sure that this was the Saint Priest—not the Saint Emperor—because the native people were not used to cultivating their bodies, much less their own soul spirits.
We’re in big trouble!
Jiang Yi’s heart felt extremely heavy. They were facing such a formidable martial artist. This made him feel all the more threatened. Just entering Saint Emperor City felt like they were walking along the edge of a cliff. Just one misstep would send them flying off the edge into a bottomless pit.
They were facing a formidable martial artist who trained his own soul spirit, a person who could single-handedly take over the entire Death God Continent. If he summoned Wu Que’er, would he be able to tell immediately that Wu Que’er’s soul was being held captive by someone else? Otherwise, if he summoned the two spies that he planted next to Wu Que’er, would he be able to tell the same? When he scanned them earlier with his divine senses, did he already figure all of this out?
Jiang Yi had no idea!
All he knew was that he felt like a huge mountain was pressing down against his chest so that he could hardly even breathe. It was not only a matter of his own life and death, but everyone around him. Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, Jiang Xiaonu, and even the little fox were all around. If something happened, none of them would be able to get out.
Hoo-Hoo!
On thinking of this, Jiang Yi let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down. At least they had made it for several minutes inside the city without the Saint Priest appearing. It was possible that from such a distance, their divine senses did not alert them to anything extraordinary.
We have to come up with a plan as fast as possible. If we have no choice, we have to at least get the Buddha Thearch and company out before we decide what to do next.
At first, Jiang Yi wanted to slow everything down until Mei Ru took over the souls of more formidable martial artists. However, he now realized that he had been naive. This Saint Priest was too frightening. The longer he stayed, the higher the risk of him being discovered. With a soul spirit so strong, the Saint Priest was quite possibly extremely intelligent as well. He could not afford to underestimate him.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
The battle tigers kept moving forward. Along the way, Jiang Yi saw many buildings and castles. The savages here were obviously much more advanced than the ones in the tribe. Still, they were behind compared to the outside world. Jiang Yi did not see a single metal weapon. Everyone he saw along the way was also still dressed in beast skin. They had no clothes, much less any beautiful silk.
This city looked the same as the ones outside. The structures were not bad, and the roads were flat and smooth. After walking for an hour, the group arrived in a huge neighborhood. There was another group there waiting for them. Jiang Yi scanned them and stiffened.
In the middle of this group were a handsome young man and a beautiful lady. Both of them were particularly eye-catching.
The young man looked just like Wu Ni. From his aura, Jiang Yi guessed that he was also a peak-stage Heaven Monarch, like Wu Que’er. However, the people here did not speak of auras. Instead, they spoke of their physical strength. This man was probably Wu Que’er’s third older brother, Wu Gang.
Next to Wu Gang was a gentle woman who looked no more than one or two years older than Wu Que’er. Yet, she looked much more attractive and charming than Wu Que’er. From the heated expressions and drool on the faces of the savages behind this woman, Jiang Yi could tell that this lady was incredibly sexy and desired.
She wore a low-cut, purple dress; and her figure was curvy in all the right places. Her bottom especially, as well as her intense eyes, could awaken any man’s deepest desires.
She must be Wu Que’er’s sixth older sister, Wu Xin’er. Wu Que’er did not tell Jiang Yi much about the two of them, so he did not understand them that well. However, just looking at Wu Xin’er, he could tell that she was dangerous. Of his many years of reading people, he learned enough to know that he should not underestimate this woman. She would be at least ten times harder to deal with than Wu Que’er.
“Younger Sister, you’re finally back. I’ve been worried sick.”
Wu Xin’er swayed her bottom as she walked over to Wu Que’er, pulling her and leading her inside. The entire time that they walked, they caught up casually. Wu Gang smiled and walked toward the Buddha Emperor and others. He waved his hand and said, “Wu Gang pays his greetings to all his uncles!”
“Bah!”
The Yin Emperor spat at him, and the Night Emperor smiled coldly at Wu Gang. The Buddha Emperor smiled gently and said, “You must be the North Emperor’s son, right? Wu Shang played us all… the winner takes all; I shall not say too much about it. Would you at least let us meet our clan heads?”
“Keke!”
Wu Gang smiled and shook his head. “Apologies! I can’t do that now. On the day that I have to send you on your way, I promise to let you reunite. Long Gu, bring them all away.”
D*mn it!
Jiang Yi’s heart thumped. The situation was not developing as he expected. The Buddha Emperor and company had the antidote to the Ghost Elixir with them. If they were not going to be locked together with the Buddha Thearch and the others, how would they help them recover their powers?
The Battle Thearch was a nine-star martial artist. The Night Empress, the Xuan Thearch, and the Yin Thearch were all also close to being nine-star martial artists. If they could not recover their battle powers, Jiang Yi would be fighting this battle alone. This would put all of them in much greater danger.
