Chapter 1544: Well-Known

“Bah!”
The barefoot woman looked briefly angry as she spat, “Our husband is a well-known hero. How can he die so easily? Heheh, my husband knows many important people in the Higher Domain. A lord with the surname Mo said before that we can just say his name when we ascend, and they will send us to see our husband.”
“The surname Mo?”
The group of Earth Emanations Army soldiers stiffened. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had the surname Mo. The people in Earth Emanations Domain who had the surname Mo were all well-respected individuals. The team leader immediately asked, “Ladies, what is… your husband’s name?”
“Jiang Yi!”
When the barefoot woman said these two words, the team leader and a few other Earth Emanations Army soldiers trembled. All of their legs turned to jelly as they fell onto the ground.
Many people in the Earth Emanations Domain may not have known Mo Lingqiu, but they definitely did know Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had done many huge things in Earth Emanations Domain, and he killed many people as well. During the recent calamity, Jiang Yi’s merits earned him a special title from the Earth Emanations Sovereign and Ye Sheng. He was even bestowed land to his name. Jiang Yi’s reputation transcended the domain, so that every single person knew who he was.
The most important thing was… this group of Earth Emanations Army soldiers was soldiers of Jiang Yi Prefecture. Jiang Yi was their Prefecture Lord.
They seemed to have… flirted with two of Jiang Yi’s wives earlier. They even had impure thoughts about them. If Jiang Yi was informed of this matter, they could forget about living any longer. To Jiang Yi, killing them would be no different from squashing a couple of ants.
Thud! Thud!
At that thought, a shiver ran down all the Earth Emanations Army soldiers’ spines. They quickly crawled up to their feet. Trembling, the team leader said, “Please forgive me, Ladies. We failed to recognize you formidable people and have offended you. We deserve death for sure!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
As he spoke, the team leader began to slap his left and right cheek alternately. The remaining Earth Emanations Army soldiers followed suit, each slapping his own mouth. The tens of people who had just ascended and who were seated at the corner stared in a daze. Why was this group of previously boastful, important people in the Higher Domain acting in such a manner?
Of course, the two women were Su Ruoxue and Yin Ruobing!
They, together with Yi Chan, ascended to the Higher Domain. Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing should have been able to ascend to the Higher Domain much earlier, but they waited for Su Ruoxue to break through. Thus, they suppressed their cultivation level and did not congeal divine souls. Not long ago, Su Ruoxue finally broke through. Then, the three of them ascended together. Unexpectedly, Yi Chan did not arrive at the same ascension stage as the other two women. This was what caused the commotion.
Mo Lingqiu had sent men down to the Lower Domain a while ago and delivered a load of divine roots, tens of divine monuments, and a couple of spirit-nourishing items.
There were three requirements to ascend. First, they needed divine cores. Second, they needed to congeal divine souls. Third, they needed to realize Heaven and Earth Dao patterns. The divine monuments contained strong nomological dao patterns. Talented people would be able to easily realize the mystery of the laws within. The divine essence inside would then speed up the process of the formation of the divine core. As for the divine soul, things were much simpler. The Higher Domain had many treasures and resources that could nourish one’s soul. Using these items, they easily congealed theirs.
Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing were naturally talented. Su Ruoxue also had a special soul spirit. However, since her cultivation level was lower, she took a little longer to break through. Still, this did not pose too big of a problem. After Su Ruoxue broke through, Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing found that they could no longer suppress the longing they had for Jiang Yi. At once, the three of them ascended to the Higher Domain.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The team leader and the rest of the group were slapping their own faces with a lot of might, so that they looked disfigured. Su Ruoxue and Yin Ruobing both relaxed as a look of arrogance appeared on their face. Their man was indeed an elite. He had only ascended to the Higher Domain a while ago, and yet he was already so well-respected by the people around him. At the sound of his name alone, these people were scared stiff.
“Alright!”
Su Ruoxue waited for a couple of seconds before saying in a cool tone. “Send us to see our husband immediately. Then, think of a way to find our other sister. We will let this matter rest if you succeed. Otherwise… hmph!”
“Thank you, Ladies!”
The team leader rejoiced as the remaining Earth Emanations Army soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. If these two ladies wanted to pursue the matter—not only would they perish, but even their families would be buried along with them.
Buzz!
The team captain immediately retrieved a divine boat to send the two of them to see Jiang Yi. At the same time, he reported this matter to his superiors and asked Su Ruoxue and Yin Ruobing about Yi Chan’s looks. As soon as he could, he instructed everyone near the God-Receiving Formations in Jiang Yi Prefecture to search for her.
Su Ruoxue and Yin Ruobing had just ascended. Naturally, they were clueless as to everything in the Higher Domain. This was the first time they were seeing a divine boat like this. It was also their first time looking at the raging waves in the Earth Emanations Sea. The Earth Emanations Domain had very rich heaven-and-earth spirit energy. Everything seemed so fresh yet strange to both of them. However, they were Jiang Yi’s wives after all.
At the Stellarsky Domain, they were known as Thearch Empresses. This meant that they had quite good exposure to the outside world. Given their status, they were embarrassed to ask too many questions about their surroundings. Thus, they sat quietly in the front cabin of the divine boat as the team captain waited on them.
Buzz!
Only a couple of minutes passed before the team leader’s messaging jade talisman lit up. He glanced at it and then gulped down a mouthful of saliva. At once, he reported, “Ladies, Assistant Prefecture Lord Xiao and Assistant Prefecture Lord Poison Spirit have personally led teams here to receive you. They have located the last lady as well. She was in one of the God-Receiving Formations in Earth Emanations Sea. You can go and gather with her first before meeting with the two Assistant Prefecture Lords?”
“Let’s go and meet Big Sister Chan!”
Yin Ruobing said without any hesitation. The team leader immediately turned the divine boat around and sent a voice transmission asking for the divine boat carrying Yi Chan to travel towards them as well. Yin Ruobing pondered for a moment and asked suspiciously, “The two Assistant Prefecture Lords are coming to fetch us? Where is our husband? Why isn’t he coming?”
The team leader explained, “Ladies, please don’t misunderstand. Prefecture Lord Jiang has gone to the Demon-Buster Army Camp. He’s not in Earth Emanations Domain at the moment. We will go to Jiang Yi City first. I guess that Prefecture Lord Jiang will soon receive news and return from the Demon-Buster Army Camp.”
“Oh, oh!”
Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue finally understood, and their faces fell slightly. After all, they had been apart from Jiang Yi for way too long. Now, they were finally in the Higher Domain, and yet they could not see him immediately.
“Jiang Yi City? Prefecture Lord Jiang?”
Yin Ruobing thought about what the team leader said and could not hold in her curiosity any longer. She asked, “Our husband is the Prefecture Lord? Is that an important role in the Higher Domain?”
Su Ruoxue looked over curiously as well. The two of them had just ascended to the Higher Domain. Naturally, they did not know a thing about any of these. They thought that the Earth Emanations Domain made up the entire Higher Domain. They did not know what kind of role the Prefecture Lord was as well. The team leader looked at them, dazed. After pondering for a while, he explained, “Prefecture Lord Jiang was named the Prefecture Lord by the Earth Emanations Sovereign. This position… is considered pretty important.
“However, Lord Jiang Yi’s reputation is even greater. Lord won first place in the Wen Fight during the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament. He is on very good terms with the sovereign himself. I don’t know the exact details of these things either, but I can say that in this entire Earth Domain, Prefecture Lord Jiang is a well-known character!”
“Uh!”
Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes brightened. They did think that Jiang Yi would probably do well in the Higher Domain, but they did not think that he would do this well. He was even a well-known character in here?
Yin Ruobing suddenly recalled something. Jiang Yi seemed to have said before that the Mystic Thearch was a City Lord of Stellarsky City in the southernmost region of Ten Thousand Saints Domain. City Lords were probably not as high-ranking as Prefecture Lords. Could Jiang Yi have surpassed even the Mystic Thearch?
There was Yi Piaopiao, too. Since Jiang Yi was this famous, had he already found his mother and rescued her from under the saint mountain?
