Bang!

The tree branch shot downward and accurately struck the top of Heavenly King Wu’s metal rod as a huge wave of energy emanated. Heavenly King Wu’s arm was struck heavily as all the bones in his palm splintered, and that metal rod was sent flying. Its speed was so fast that it scared everyone as it was sent flying more than five thousand kilometers away and heavily hit a Chaos Divine Boat. The Divine Boat was then knocked backward for a few kilometers as well.

“Pfff!”

The huge reverberations shook Heavenly King Wu’s internal organs as he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became extremely pale. He had become pale not because of his injuries, but because he was truly frightened; his eyes were filled with fear.

Not only him, but all the formidable martial artists present including Phantom King were all shook to their core as well. A mere tree branch had sent Heavenly King Wu’s metal rod flying and hurt him so; not even Green Eagle King could do that.

The only explanation was… the person who had attacked was a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist!

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

The few King-Ranked formidable martial artists’ reactions were very fast. At once, they genuflected and shouted, “Greetings, my Lord!”

Only four Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists were known to them; they were the four Supreme Thearchs of the Heaven Domain. In recent years, the Earth Domain had not seen a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist; everyone instinctively thought that one of the four Supreme Thearchs had descended to the Earth Domain.

The Supreme Thearchs of the Heaven Domain were the supreme formidable martial artists of the entire human race, the guardians of the three realms; who would dare to not kneel in front of them?

All the spectators about also hurriedly knelt in fear, their bodies trembling incessantly. They had actually witnessed a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist’s attack? That made their entire time spent on this operation worthwhile. However, many were thinking furiously: who on earth was Jiang Yi? Why would a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist be helping him?

There was dead silence. Even Jiang Yi had gone quiet. However, he had not knelt down but stared bewilderedly up into the spatial zone. He was a little lost for a moment; he felt that this tree branch was very familiar like he had seen it before.

“Such a simple child had been forced into such a stage by you guys?”

A wispy voice rang out; that voice seemed to be traveling down from the Nine Heavens and at the same time around everyone. Many people used their divine senses stealthily to scan the spatial zone above and around themselves; however, they did not detect anyone’s presence.

The few King-Ranked formidable martial artists, however, did not dare to send their divine sense forward at all. They were afraid they would infuriate this formidable martial artist. After a few of them heard this statement, their first response was… could this be Qilin Empress? This voice seemed to be a woman’s, and only one of the four Supreme Thearchs was a lady. However, everyone thought about the statement again as they smiled bitterly to themselves.

Simple?

This word seemed to be a little comical on Jiang Yi, right? Even the Earth Emanations Sovereign scratched his nose in embarra.s.sment. Whether it was Jiang Yi’s behavior and actions here, in the Earth Emanations Domain, or in the Stellarsky Domain; Jiang Yi was never a simple child. His hands were dyed red with blood, and so many people had perished by his hands.

However, the Earth Emanations Sovereign understood Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was never a person who looked for trouble; he wouldn’t be calculative about trivial matters. However, once he was triggered and infuriated, he would go all out against that person. Jiang Yi was never one to be afraid of trouble; even if the person was a Heavenly King’s son, he would also kill without hesitation.

Come to think of it, Earth Emanations Sovereign now thought that ‘simple’ seemed rather apt!

If Jiang Yi was a n.o.body and wasn’t that gifted, he would definitely go stay within a small city and live his life honestly till he died. However, he was exceptionally gifted and attracted the fancy of many ladies and the jealousy of many young masters; many things were not up to him.

If one was but mediocre, he wouldn’t incur jealousy. However, the gifted and talented’s journey was always filled with trials and tribulations. Such people could either wield their sabers and kill their way forward, or die during their struggles; there was no other choice!

Such was the fate of the gifted and talented. If a gifted person from a humble family wanted to rise up, could he do so without stepping over the bodies of millions?

That heavenly like and soothing woman’s voice rang out again and disrupted Earth Emanations Sovereign’s thoughts. “A bunch of human peak-stage formidable martial artists, a group of old fogies about to enter the grave; you guys are actually surrounding and attacking a child? Aren’t you guys embarra.s.sed? How old is this child only? If you guys do not treasure and protect such talent and instead try to blame him and make things difficult for him, it is no wonder that the human race is becoming so weak and almost about to be eliminated by the Netherworld Race.”

“Eh?”

These words startled many people. This person kept mentioning the human race? Could it be she wasn’t human? If she wasn’t human, that meant she was a demon. However, the demon race’s formidable martial artists had been slaughtered by the Netherworld Race thousands of years ago; an entire huge domain of billions of demons had been exterminated. Where did this Thearch-Ranked demon come from?

Regardless of whether this person was the Qilin Empress or a demon-race Thearch Empress, that was not important. Most importantly, she was extremely powerful. Might was right and her words became the truth. Heavenly King Wu smiled bitterly to himself as he cupped his hands and said, “My Lord’s words are true; we know our mistake now.”

“Don’t say that I am interfering with you humans’ internal affairs! I will protect this child for ten years. Ten years later—if you guys can kill him, I will not intervene.” That voice continued. It paused for a while and said, “Within these ten years, if anyone dares to touch him, I will eliminate his entire clan.”

The last word lingered as the voice suddenly vanished in the southeast direction; this person had evidently left. Jiang Yi looked in that direction as he thought about it and his eyes narrowed. The Purgatory Mystic Realm was in the southeast direction, right?

“The Divine Tree!”

Jiang Yi finally recalled why that tree branch had seemed so familiar. It was exactly the same as the tree branches of the Divine Tree. That Divine Tree was indeed sentient and had become a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist.

However… why did she want to help him?

Could it be because of the Heavenly Springs Rhythm? Jiang Yi recalled that when he had been playing, that Divine Tree kept on swaying and was evidently enjoying itself. However, this could not possibly justify her intervention. Although it was so easy for her to save him as she was probably unbeatable in the entire Earth Domain, she was after all from the demon race. Her actions had crossed the line into intervening with human affairs and would potentially infuriate the higher-ups in the Heaven Domain.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yi still could not figure it out. He decided not to think so much anymore and would find a chance to ask the Divine Tree when he saw it again.

He looked toward Heavenly King Wu, White River King, Heaven Desert King, and the others in the distance as they s.h.i.+vered when Jiang Yi’s glance swept them. Jiang Yi now had a pardon command token; he could kill whoever he wanted these ten years while no one would dare to retaliate. If anyone tried, it would result in the destruction of their entire clan.

The White River King and company were in the most awkward position, and they were very uneasy. If Jiang Yi really wanted revenge, their clans were finished; they would end up peris.h.i.+ng together with Jiang Yi.

There was dead silence, and no one said anything; it was growing exceptionally awkward. Finally, Earth Emanations Sovereign broke the silence as he spoke, “Everyone, shall we take our leave? Jiang Yi, you can come back to the Earth Emanations Domain with me.”

“I am not returning!”

Jiang Yi thought about it as his gaze turned toward Qi Qingchen. “I’d like to return to Demon-Buster Valley with the general; I want to continue to earn battle merits. I am not sure if Commander-in-chief Wu would still be willing to accept someone like me?”

Heavenly King Wu’s face fluctuated between red and white as he thought about it and said coldly, “Since a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist is protecting you, I could not pursue everything that had happened. However, if you still dare to cause trouble from now on, even if I have to give my life; I will kill you.”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, “I have many flaws, but I do have one virtue: I do not like to cause trouble. As long as no one finds trouble with me, I wouldn’t care about anyone. It is not up to me if others want to cause trouble!”

“Hur-Hur!”

Heavenly King Wu snorted as he turned and flew away. White River King and company also flew to their Chaos Divine Boats without saying a word as they left to the nearby mystic realm.

“I will head back first; Jiang Yi, come back and visit when you are free.”

Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled slightly as he also departed. The Phantom King looked at Jiang Yi with a very complex look as he left without saying anything. Jiang Yi sighed deeply as he then looked toward Qi Qingchen and said, “General, long time, no see.”

Qi Qingchen’s face revealed an absolutely beautiful smile. She nodded and said softly, “Welcome back, Inspector-General!”
