Chapter 506: Feigned Surrender
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Discouraged, dispirited, powerless, and at a complete loss!

This was what Jiang Yi was feeling right now. The path had been full of frustrations and dashed hopes, but he struggled to climb his way up and had killed countless enemies. After killing the martial experts outside of Summer Rain City—slaughtering the demon kings in Stellarsky City, he thought that he was invincible on the continent. Now, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well.

"Jiang Yi, this Hall Master sees that you are a talent; otherwise, he will not waste all those words on you. All the more he wouldn't tell you all these secrets. This Hall Master will give you a final chance. Submit to the Martial Arts Hall or die!"

Dugu Qiu yelled out again. It seemed like he truly regarded Jiang Yi very highly as he tried to recruit Jiang Yi time and again.

When he saw how Jiang Yi was at a loss, he continued speaking, "I know that you have ruined your body because you refined the celestial stones. But you don't have to worry. There is a type of divine herb call the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s in the Stellarsky Domain. It could cleanse your marrows and meridians, recuperating your body. As long as you join our Martial Arts Hall, I will send you to the East Imperial Continent and ask the Main Hall to help you search for the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s."

Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s!

Jiang Yi was tempted. The Demon Empress once said that the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s could help change his fate and recuperate his ruined body. One might be able to drastically increase their strength by refining the celestial stones in a short amount of time, but their future would be completely ruined.

Jiang Yi had a unique cultivation technique, and the nine star spheres in his body were even more bizarre. If he could recuperate his body, his future would be limitless.

This temptation was considerable, and Jiang Yi revealed some hesitation in his expression. He seemed to be seriously considering this while his eyes flickered before he sneered. "The Demon Empress mentioned that the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s is a divine herb in heaven and earth. It seldom appears even once in ten thousand years. Chief Hall Master wouldn't be tricking me, right?"

"Hahahaha!"

Dugu Qiu laughed heartily as his face glowed red while his heart was excited.

Hearing from the tone…

It seemed like Jiang Yi had been tempted?

He laughed for a moment and spoke resolutely, "Jiang Yi, the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s might be rare, but our Martial Arts Hall is the uncrowned ruler of the domain; and we have branch halls in all the continents. If there was someone that could find the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s, it will definitely be our Martial Arts Hall. Perhaps… the Main Hall might already have the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s. Even if they don't, as long as you go to the East Imperial Continent and obtain recognition from influential figures in the Main Hall, they will find all ways to gather the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s for you."

"So that is why…"

Jiang Yi muttered for some time before he replied, "But how can I know that you are telling the truth? This is just your one-sided story."

"About this…"

Dugu Qiu saw how relaxed Jiang Yi's tone was and got even more delighted. He truly wanted to recruit Jiang Yi, because the nine star spheres in his dantian were too mysterious. Most importantly, Jiang Yi had the ability to control flames.

This world had too many mystical flames and even horrific flames that could easily incinerate Heaven Monarch experts. If he was to recruit Jiang Yi and send him to the Martial Arts Main Hall for nurturing, he might develop a heaven-defying expert for the Martial Arts Hall, which would give him a great contribution.

After thinking about it, there was no way to prove that he was saying the truth. Dugu Qiu's eyes lit up as he said, "A few days ago, we have already sent a message to the Main Hall. I reckon that the two Heaven Monarch experts would arrive a month later. If… Jiang Yi, you are truly going to submit, I can temporarily release you. When the time comes, you will naturally see that I am telling the truth."

Su Ruoxue and the others were still in his hands, and Jiang Yi was ultimately still sentimental. If he didn't rescue them, he surely wouldn't escape the continent. This Hades Abyss had the Heaven Fate Great Array, and Dugu Qiu didn't fear Jiang Yi at all. Hence, after Dugu Qiu gave it some thoughts, he made a very bold decision.

"You can't!"

Ji Tingyi suddenly spoke. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Jiang Yi while she suddenly transmitted a message to Dugu Qiu: "Hall Master, you are releasing a tiger back to the mountain. What if Jiang Yi is using the retreat to gain more advantages and plot something else? The envoys from the Main Hall will take more than one month before they arrive. What if there are some mishaps? We will then be consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation."

Dugu Qiu took an objecting look at Ji Tingyu and replied with a message: "What could go wrong? If Jiang Yi entered the Hades Abyss, he would be like a fish on a chopping board, waiting for death. Didn't you say that he was a sentimental person? His family is with us. Where else can he escape to?"

Sentimental? Something isn't right…

Ji Tingyu's brows gathered as she suddenly recalled something. Her eyes suddenly contracted and swept across Jiang Yi, as her expression immediately changed. She exclaimed, "Hall Master, Jiang Yi is feigning his surrender! With his character, he will never submit to anyone!"

Ji Tingyu understood Jiang Yi well. He was indeed sentimental, but he had an unyielding character and was a lone wolf who would never submit to anyone. Ji Tingyu didn't realize it earlier, but after Dugu Qiu spoke about being sentimental, she immediately regained her senses.

If something appeared abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Jiang Yi's att.i.tude suddenly changed, and it seemed like he was truly considering to submit? Since he was never going to submit, why was he so superfluous?

His objective was evident. He was… stalling for time and thinking of a way to break out of this situation!

Right at this moment, Ji Tingyu noticed something strange in his body. His aura presence was drastically growing stronger, and his body was slowly getting up while his eyes turned blood red. His originally suppressed Ma.s.sacre Intent was pouring out again.

"How is this possible!?"

Dugu Qiu's eyes were filled with bewilderment. With the boost from the Heaven Fate Great Array, Ji Tingyu had temporarily obtained a portion of the nine heaven stars' power and possessed the strength of a Heaven Monarch.

The Heaven Monarch Realm martial artist's aura presence was too powerful. If a Vajra Realm martial artist was to face a Heaven Monarch Realm martial artist, it would be like a lamb facing a lion. Jiang Yi should have been immobilized by the aura presence, but he was actually standing straight and releasing the Ma.s.sacre Intent? From the looks of it, Jiang Yi's aura presence was actually rapidly increasing.

Jiang Yi is condensing the power of the nine heaven stars! Where did he obtain so much of the nine heaven stars' power? Even if he had it, how could he channel it?

Dugu Qiu's divine senses extended onto Jiang Yi's body, and he was even more bewildered. He reacted quickly and yelled out sternly, "Ji Tingyu, quickly kill him. He is gathering the power of the nine heaven stars. If he channels out all of them, both you and I will have to die!"

Tsk! Tsk!

There was no need for Dugu Qiu to give the orders as Ji Tingyu's hands were already s.h.i.+ning with rainbow divine light. She quickly formed a rainbow giant palm print which smashed down with destructive aura presence.

Just a bit more! I just need a bit more!

Jiang Yi was roaring in his heart. He was indeed stalling for more time earlier, and he had been putting on a pretense all along. He and the Martial Arts Hall had a blood feud and were absolutely irreconcilable. How could he submit?

He could feel a trace of familiar aura presence from Ji Tingyu's image, which was the presence of the nine heaven stars' power. He suddenly realized that he had that power as well.

He had stirred up the heaven and earth anomaly four times and had been bestowed with the nine heaven stars' power four times. He didn't know how to use that power previously, but after seeing Ji Tingyu's condensed image, he observed and was able to access the powers.

He was stalling for more time because he wanted to circulate all the power of the stars from the nine star spheres, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Ji Tingyu. Looked at the giant palm pressing down, he smiled bitterly and gritted his teeth to send out the minute amount of nine heaven stars' power with a palm strike!

Buzz!

Jiang Yi's hand was also s.h.i.+ning with the rainbow divine light as he launched a small rainbow palm print. The spatial zone about his head shook a little while tiny crevices and a horrific prowess were emitted from the small palm print. It flew fearlessly towards the giant palm print in the air.

"What a close shave!"

Dugu Qiu let out a long breath. He was nearly tricked, and if Jiang Yi was able to gather enough power from the nine heaven stars, he and Ji Tingyu would probably have to die here today.

As for now…

Even an idiot could see that Jiang Yi was definitely going to die. His nine heaven stars' power was too little, and Ji Tingyu could crush it easily.
