Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 1607 - Plot

Chapter 1607: Plot

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“This is a plot. However, the White River King probably can’t think of such a plot; who is the mastermind? The Demon-Killing Pearl is a well-hidden secret; how did they find out about it?”

The Wintry Sovereign paced within the Wintry Hall as there were many things he couldn’t make sense of.

However, it was clear that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. If not, the news would not have spread throughout the ten thousand domains in such a short time; there wasn’t any time at all to seal or control the spread of it.

Offering two Primitive Spiritual Treasures was something that had attracted the attention of everyone in the ten thousand domains. To then release such a piece of news, it was destined to spread like wildfire; no one could seal off the information.

Most importantly, Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen had indeed disappeared and weren’t within the Demon-Buster Valley; their absence was inexplicable. The only way was to ask the duo to return to the Demon-Buster Valley. However, they had gone for so long; even Wintry Sovereign himself would not be able to chase them down.

Even if the Wintry Sovereign, Phantom King, and Earth Emanations Sovereign wanted to help the duo; they couldn’t think of any way to do so. It was impossible to find them in the vast Chaos Sea. Even if Phantom King sent out all the Phantom Race formidable martial artists, they wouldn’t be able to locate the duo in a short time.

“This matter probably had the combined might of the Yellow Lion King, the White River King, and the Heaven Desert King behind it!”

To ask the Han Clan for help, only White River King had the ability to rely on his contacts within the Heaven Domain. However, the White River King wasn’t good at scheming while the Yellow Lion King was famous for being lethal and vicious. Recently, the three had been rather cozy with each other, and the Wintry Sovereign immediately drew the connection.

However… so what if he had guessed this?

The trio was acting overboard; there wasn’t anything that could be used against them. The three actually also didn’t do anything; news was spreading stealthily and subtly, and who could prove it originated from them?

“Could that pearl have been purposely given to Jiang Yi and Qingchen by the three?”

Wintry Sovereign thought of a possibility. However, he could do nothing at the moment. It was near impossible to find the duo within the Chaos Sea now; he could only hope that the two escape unscathed this time.

Since the Han Clan’s men had descended to the Earth Domain already, then the news ‘the number-one genius in the Earth Domain Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen have gone to the Demon-Killing Palace to hunt for treasure’ would definitely spread to the ears of all the Heaven Domain great family clans’ young masters and young mistresses. A clash was inevitable, and it was up to Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen to see if they could find a way out.

Fortunately, Qi Qingchen’s temperament was rather steady and calm; Jiang Yi also seemed to listen to her?

Thinking about this, the Wintry Sovereign grew slightly more a.s.sured. Youngsters eventually had to go out and experience the world themselves; Qi Qingchen needed to learn more about many things. The Wintry Sovereign could only comfort himself this way.

The Han Clan’s men waited for a day and a half, and they then teleported back to the Heaven Domain once again.

The Earth Domain grew subdued with their departure. However, Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen heading to the Demon-Killing Palace to hunt for treasure became the topic of conversation throughout the Earth Domain. Everyone was talking about this. Would there be a conflict with the great family clans in the Heaven Domain? Would the two die in the Chaos Sea? Would they be able to get their hands on some rare treasure?

No one actually went to think about what the real purpose of the Han Clan’s appearance was!

Perhaps no one thought that the Yellow Lion King and company would be so depraved and devious, that they would actually leak the news to the Netherworld Realm.

The Yellow Lion King and company actually did not know the exact time and location of the Demon-Killing Palace’s appearance. Even if the Netherworld Realm knew, so what? Would they dare to send troops and circ.u.mvent the Heaven Domain’s armies and enter the Chaos Sea?

Even if the Netherworld Realm sent their elite forces and stealthily hid in the Chaos Sea—as long as they didn’t know the exact time and location of the Demon-Killing Palace’s appearance, they would just be like direction-less mosquitoes, spinning about aimlessly in the Chaos Sea and finally being exterminated by the Chaos Sea four great clans.

…

Within the Chaos Sea, a war chariot continued to move speedily as Poison Spirit’s figure suddenly flashed and appeared outside it. His eyes were filled with anxiety and doubt as he cupped his hands and reported, “Young Lord, General, something seems amiss.”

The war chariot had been flying for a day and a half; things have been uneventful. Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen had been sitting quietly within the war chariot, closing their eyes and cultivating. Hearing Poison Spirit’s voice, the two opened their eyes as Jiang Yi swept a glance and asked, “What is amiss?”

Poison Spirit reported, “From six hours ago, the number of scouts ahead had started to increase rapidly. I encountered more than ten waves of them, though I had managed to lure all of them away.”

“Scouts?”

Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen exchanged a glance as he asked bewilderedly, “Are there islands nearby? Could it be the four great clans’ scouts?”

“There aren’t any islands nearby!”

Poison Spirit replied firmly. He then shook his head and continued, “As for whether they are from the four great clans or not, I do not know. I do not recognize anyone from the four great clans.”

“Continue to investigate!”

Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen thought for a moment but also could not make sense of the situation. Qi Qingchen motioned and said, “Don’t lure any more scouts away. If anyone comes close again, use this messaging jade talisman to contact me, and I’ll change directions to avoid them. We cannot be embroiled in a skirmish.”

“Yes!”

Poison Spirit cupped his hands and left stealthily. This was someone else’s territory after all, and Poison Spirit naturally did not dare to act recklessly. If they incurred the combined wrath of the four great clans, the trio would definitely not be able to return to the Earth Domain.

Qi Qingchen did not dare to enter seclusion again while Jiang Yi only entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man as he cultivated his heavenly powers and monitored the situation at the same time.

Poison Spirit’s speed was much faster than the war chariot’s. He scouted ahead and used the special messaging jade talisman to send voice transmissions to Qi Qingchen. The latter controlled the war chariot and changed directions every time Poison Spirit sent a message back. This way, they wouldn’t alert the scouts ahead and can avoid them quietly.

“So many scouts? This is unusual!”

After traveling for another six over hours, Qi Qingchen had already changed directions more than ten times. Jiang Yi widened his eyes as his face grew slightly dark.

Something was definitely up. Initially, they had flown for more than a day and had not encountered any scouts. Now, so many had come. Either something huge had happened within the Chaos Sea, or these scouts were searching specifically for them.

“Jiang Yi, don’t worry. Only Majesty Father knows about the Demon-Killing Pearl; they shouldn’t be after us.” Qi Qingchen comforted Jiang Yi; she was perhaps comforting herself as well.

Jiang Yi thought about it and relaxed slightly. They had not stopped in Chaos Island at all and had not entered any other island; they had been flying in the air all the way. No one in the Chaos Sea knew about them or recognized them; how could these scouts be targeting them? There were so many of them as well.

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

One hour later, Poison Spirit suddenly flew towards them as he said very seriously, “We can’t pa.s.s ahead anymore. There are a group of floating islands ahead and countless scouts around; we can only make a detour.”

“A group of floating islands; could it be we have neared the Random Star Islands?”

Qi Qingchen took out a map and took a few looks as she said surely, “We are indeed near the Random Star Islands. Take a detour? The Random Star Islands cover a huge amount of s.p.a.ce while the Demon-Killing Pearl is pointing us towards the Random Star Islands. What if the Demon-Killing Palace is within the Random Star Islands?”

Jiang Yi frowned as he thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, “Why not, Qingchen you enter my spatial divine item while Poison Spirit and I enter stealthily? If we use the Art of Concealment, low-grade scouts will not be able to detect us.”

“Alright!”

Qi Qingchen paused for a moment and then nodded. She said, “However, Jiang Yi, you have to promise that you won’t create trouble with anyone in the Chaos Sea. Even if someone bullies you, you have to swallow it down. This matter is very serious; we cannot start a conflict.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Jiang Yi received the Demon-Killing Pearl from Qi Qingchen as he kept Qi Qingchen in his spatial divine item. He then kept the war chariot as he flashed and activated his Art of Concealment. He motioned at Poison Spirit and said, “Let’s go!”

“Understood…”

Poison Spirit’s eyes flashed a couple of times. Although he had a premonition that something was going to go wrong, he did not have any other way out as well. They could only try and break through for now.

The two stealthily entered midair as they transformed into a light breeze and disappeared within the thick white fog.
