Chapter 443: Mastermind Behind the Scene

“Quick! Quick! Quick!”

The whole Monarch City was in chaos. Tens of thousands of soldiers had been mobilized, and even the experts from all the great clans had also moved out. They started to dig a meter down into the ground to search for Liu Yu, using a carpet sweep through the city.

Xia Tingwei’s survival was still unknown while Eunuch Lin had died and Jiang Bieli was gravely injured. This caused everyone to be frightened. If they couldn’t locate Liu Yu in 30 minutes, the whole city would most be cleansed with blood. Was there anyone else who could stop Jiang Yi now?

The Zhangsun Clan, the Long Clan, the Ying Clan, and the Tais.h.i.+ Clan were all in chaos. All of their experts had been sent out. They didn’t bother to check if the news was true and led their own army to go to different houses to search. As long as a person looked unfamiliar or suspicious-looking, they would take them down first.

Even the Zhan Clan and the Qian Clan had also moved out. However, the two Clan Heads didn’t head out to search. Instead, they accompanied Jiang Yi in one of the buildings that were above the southern city wall. While Jiang Yi kept his silence, the duo didn’t dare to speak either. However, they were looking at Jiang Yi while sighing with amazement.

One year ago, during the autumn period as well…

After the Kingdom war, the first thing Jiang Yi did was to return to Monarch City. During then, Zhang Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan’s fathers, Zhan Yiming and Qian Gui, felt that Jiang Yi’s future was boundless. In the future, he would most likely be an exceptional individual. He might be able to break through to the Vajra Realm as well.

Unexpectedly, in just a single year’s time, Jiang Yi had actually killed his way back single-handedly. Even after Xia Tingwei had burst out all of his strength, he was still able to turn the tide, suppressing three great Vajra Realm martial experts and even killing Eunuch Lin!

They couldn’t fathom how strong Jiang Yi was, but they knew that Jiang Yi still used fire this time. The fire was somewhat similar to the Earth Fire but was a lot more terrifying compared to it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to kill off a Vajra Realm martial expert. However, the fire was not as potent as the flames emitted out from the Fire Spirit Rock. Jiang Yi had always been an expert in utilizing fire. In everyone’s opinion, they felt that he must have obtained extremely powerful flames.

Regardless of what happened…

Eunuch Lin had already perished. Everyone heard his howl and miserable shrieks. This was already an unchangeable fact. Xia Tingwei, who was in the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm, also had his lower legs burnt off. Therefore, it was regardless as to what happened or how Jiang Yi managed to accomplish it. At the very least, he still managed to do it. In other words, he possessed the strength to be able to kill a fifth stage Vajra Realm martial expert!

A youth, who wasn’t even 18 years of age yet, was able to kill experts that were renowned to the whole continent.

This caused Zhan Yiming and Qian Gui to be astonished. Their hearts were in ecstasy. The three-year promise had yet to arrive. If Jiang Yi was to continue advancing in such a terrifying speed—when the time comes, wouldn’t he be unrivaled?!

Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan were Jiang Yi’s true brothers. If Jiang Yi was to unify the continent and establish his own empire, both of their clans would certainly rise to greater heights and become elite clans of the continent because of Jiang Yi. Because of this, it would allow them to expand themselves, enjoying the prosperity for tens of thousands of years.

w.a.n.guan’s Secret Art of Judgment is truly powerful. The way he judges a character is truly accurate!

Qian Gui revealed a proud face. Qian w.a.n.guan had always supported Jiang Yi, and Qian Gui chose to believe in his son’s foresight. Zhan Yiming nodded his head in agreement as he looked at Jiang Yi with eyes that had traces of respect. Experts would always cause others to feel respect in their hearts.

“Uncles!”

Jiang Yi was pondering where Xia Tingwei could have gone, causing him to be somewhat distracted. What kind of dao pattern was that? It actually allowed him to disappear into a spatial crack. Now that he had awakened from his thoughts, he greeted the duo in respect with a bow, “Do you know if Princ.i.p.al Zhuge’s death is Xia Tingwei’s doing?”

With Jiang Yi addressing them as Uncle, it caused Zhan Yiming and Qian Gui to be beaming in smiles. Qian Gui muttered to himself for a moment before replying heavily, “In my opinion, I highly doubt so. According to my intelligence, those who intercepted Princ.i.p.al Qi’s group were not from the Divine Martial Kingdom. Of course, there is the possibility of them being the secret guards. I feel that if Xia… His Majesty isn’t a fool, he will never allow Liu Yu to enter Monarch City. After all, this would cause the Divine Martial Kingdom to be pointed for the blame, which would be meaningless.”

Zhan Yiming nodded his head in agreement. “I think so as well. Clearly, Liu Yu was just a chess piece. If it was His Majesty’s doing, would Liu Yu even be alive? He would have long died in Mt. Spirit Beast as only the dead man would not speak.”

“That’s true…”

Jiang Yi also had his doubts. Xia Tingwei was a capable sovereign. He certainly wouldn’t be so foolish. Therefore, Jiang Yi frowned and inquired, “If it wasn’t Xia Tingwei, how are you going to explain about the City Lord of Divine Soldier City? What about those mysterious people? What about that commander that guarded this place, who had committed suicide? If it wasn’t the Divine Martial Kingdom, who would have such capability to plot such a great scheme?”

Qian Gui’s eyes swept around the surroundings while looking outside with concern. Jiang Yi scanned the place with his divine senses before beckoning his hand. “Uncle Qian, there’s no one else here. With the demon king outside, no one can come near us. You can just speak your mind.”

Qian Gui relaxed. His plump face trembled for a few moments before replying, “Nephew. If you believe me, I can share with you what I think!”

Jiang Yi nodded his head. “Please continue, Uncle.”

“I can conclude that this matter is not the doing of Xia Tingwei.”

Qian Gui spoke a.s.suredly, “It should be an attempt to frame the Divine Martial Kingdom. Their aim is for you, Xia Tingwei, Eunuch Lin, as well as your fath… the Western Garrison Liege Lord to have a chaotic fight, and they would then benefit from the result. Therefore, other than the Great Xia Kingdom and the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, all the other factions are suspicious. The Saint Spirit Kingdom’s nation power had decreased drastically. Therefore, they would never offend others. Thus, they could be eliminated from the suspect list.

“The Northern Liang Kingdom and the Northern Mang Kingdom people have always disliked employing stratagem and preferred aggressive fights and battles. Liu Yu had hidden for 30 years, and in the past 30 years, both countries did not have any powerful advisor. Hence, both of the countries could be excluded as well. As for the Water Moon Observatory, the Great Zen Monastery, and the three great colleges, they don’t have the capability to do so. Therefore, the only suspicious factions that are left…”

“Azure Dragon Empire?”

Jiang Yi’s body shuddered as his eyes flickered in coldness. The Azure Dragon Empire favored the employing of stratagems that cause the six kingdoms to impede each other while they expand themselves quietly. Yet at this moment, they suddenly plotted such a scheme, causing Jiang Yi and the Divine Martial Kingdom to fight against each other. Regardless of whichever side won, it would still be a good thing to them.

A starving camel is still bigger than a horse ¹ !

The Azure Dragon Empire had recuperated for ten thousand years. No one knew how much of their strength was being concealed away. Only Ling Xue would know how many clans were actually their shadows. Jiang Yi had somewhat experienced for himself how powerful Ling Xue was. If this matter was really plotted by her, everything would start making sense.

“En!”

Qian Gui nodded his head. However, gloominess could be seen from the corner of his mouth. “Nephew, Azure Dragon Empire has the biggest suspicion. However… you have forgotten an extremely influential faction!”

“Extremely influential faction?”

Jiang Yi was dazed. Didn’t Qian Gui eliminate all the strong factions? How could there be still another faction? His eyes flickered, and he suddenly cried out in surprise, “Martial Arts Hall!”

“That’s right!”

Qian Gui nodded his head. “If there is a no.1 faction in the continent, it wouldn’t be the Azure Dragon Empire or any of the six kingdoms. Rather, it’s the Martial Arts Hall! I heard that in the past two years, an extremely powerful Saint Lady Ji had appeared in the Martial Arts Hall. She is someone who can calculate all kinds of possibility and possesses demon-like wisdom. If this was plotted by her and executed by the members of the Martial Arts Hall, everything would seem very rational.”

“Saint Lady Ji?”

Jiang Yi mind shook when he thought of the family name Ji. An absolutely beautiful face which possessed a wonderful figure appeared in his mind. He hurriedly inquired, “Uncle, what is Saint Lady Ji’s full name?”

“We are not sure…”

Qian Gui shook his head. “Outsiders are never able to enter the Hades Abyss. Our clan’s informant was only able to gain a first-grade Martial Arts Hall Branch Master position. He only knows that Saint Lady Ji is extremely powerful. Even Dugu Yan would also listen to her.”

Jiang Yi’s mind grew even more doubtful as he continued inquiring, “Where is the Hades Abyss?”

“The Hades Abyss is the headquarters of the Martial Arts Hall. Many clans should know of this. As to where it is located, not even Xia Tingwei should have no idea about it—let alone us.”

Qian Gui explained gravely. Subsequently, he cast his gaze towards Jiang Yi concernedly. “Nephew, you have to be careful of the Martial Arts Hall. The Martial Arts Hall isn’t as simple as how it looks…”
