Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1049 - Yin Ruobing's Engagement

Panda Novel

The spatial zone in the Snow Region was very stable, reducing the distance Jiang Yi had to use his Heaven Evasion. He took four days before he managed to use his Heaven Evasion and reached the area south of the Snow Region. He neared the Wu Clan’s four regions.

He did not dare to use Heaven Evasion and head further south. The Heaven Evasion Divine Skill was his unique ability that at least no one else in the Stellarsky Continent had mastered. The only flaw of Heaven Evasion was that one would not know where one would appear. There were people everywhere in the East Imperial Continent. Once he was discovered—by the next day, probably the entire East Imperial Continent would know.

The mysterious fishing elder had instructed him not to enter the East Imperial Continent without breaking through the Demigod Realm, or he would definitely be discovered and killed by the North Thearch. It wasn’t that Jiang Yi did not want to listen to the elder; he had no choice. Ao Lu wanted him to gain the Mystic Divine Palace while the Saint Empress had also asked him to head there to retrieve the Glazed Pagoda. He could only take the risk and head back to the East Imperial Continent.

Thankfully, Jiang Yi had the Mirage Divine Ability. As long as he didn’t come face-to-face with a formidable Demigod, no one would be able to recognize him. He had long thought through his plan. He would take the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship to Mystic Divine Mountain. Although this would be the slower way, it was safer.

“Go!”

He rested for a while and used his Heaven Evasion again. However, he did not dare to head south but instead headed west. He intended to enter the Yi Clan’s four regions, head to a medium-sized city to take the Heaven Fate Ship.

As this place was near the edge of the East Imperial Continent, the spatial zone was not that stable. Jiang Yi used his Heaven Evasion for three consecutive days and reached the northern part of the Yi Clan’s Buddha Light Region.

“Almost there, let’s go!”

His body shined with white light as he was transformed into a cold and cruel middle-aged strongman. He wore battle armor and had an aura that of about the sixth level of the Heaven Monarch Realm. This appearance would neither attract attention nor bring trouble as no one would dare to mess with him.

Swish!

He sprinted the entire way, not resting day or night. During the night, he would fly high up into the sky and absorb the astral winds. He had used up much astral winds in the Snow Region. However, as the astral winds were inexhaustible, he was not particularly concerned.

Four days later, he reached the northern side of a small city. He used his Divine Perception to sweep the area, confirmed that there were no formidable martial artists in the city, and walked in boldly.

He found an inn, summoned the waiter, and took out a few pieces of gold leaves from his ring. The waiter immediately shot up. Jiang Yi coldly asked, “You will answer every question I have. If you answer well, these will all be yours.”

“Many thanks, my lord.” The waiter hurried knelt down and kowtowed. His eyes were fixated on the gold leaves.

“What eventful things have happened in the East Imperial Continent recently?” Jiang Yi slowly and leisurely raised his teacup and took a sip. “I have been in seclusion for two years and have not been kept abreast.”

“Eventful things?”

The waiter started thinking, stretched out his hand, and counted. “Two years ago, a spy called Jiang Yi was sent from Sin Island. He created havoc in the Wu Clan’s four regions. He killed…”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “I heard about this before I went into seclusion. Talk about things that happened after that.”

“Okay.” The waiter thought for a moment and continued. “For the subsequent half of that year, the She Clan’s Great Young Master broke through to the Demigod Realm, riling up the whole continent.

“The Great Young Master of the She Clan? Which one? She Fei?”

Jiang Yi’s brows were raised as he saw the waiter nod. He suddenly was shaken to his core, his eyes fearful as if having seen a ghost.

If someone told him that someone like Wu Ni or Yi Chan had broken through to the Demigod Realm, perhaps Jiang Yi would not be so shocked. However, She Fei’s legs had been broken by Jiang Yi’s astral winds; his body was naturally broken as well. She Fei was akin to being crippled; how could he have broken through to the Demigod Realm?

He grabbed the front of the waiter’s shirt as his face revealed his rage. He coldly smiled and said, “Wasn’t She Fei’s legs broken? You dare to trick me?”

“I dare not, I dare not!”

Jiang Yi’s killing aura was incredibly strong. The waiter almost fainted with fear. He hurried said, “My lord, how could I dare lie to you? It was said that Evil Thearch himself went to a mystic realm and helped Young Master She Fei retrieve the Destitute Dragon Grass. After Young Master Fei recovered, he cultivated incessantly for one good year and broke through to the Demigod Realm…”

“Damn!”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. Being born in the Nine Thearch Clans was indeed different. Even broken legs could be mended, with the Destitute Dragon Grass being easy to obtain for them. This She Fei was no doubt a prodigy of the Nine Thearch Clans. After suffering setbacks every time, he did not give up but instead became even stronger than before. She Fei had become stronger after Jiang Yi’s assassination attempt on him failed. Now, after Jiang Yi had broken his legs, She Fei had leaped even higher, breaking through to the Demigod Realm.

Demigod!

That was the utmost level of existence in this world. Although the continent had billions of martial artists and hundreds of millions of martial experts of the Heaven Monarch Realm, there were just a handful of Demigods. Even the Evil Thearch’s She Clan had no more than fifty Demigods. There were probably only less than a thousand Demigods in the entire Stellarsky Domain. The difficulty in reaching the Demigod Realm was evident. She Fei had indeed overcome an insurmountable obstacle. As long as he didn’t die, he would definitely become the new Evil Thearch.

“Carry on.”

Recovering himself, Jiang Yi relaxed his grip on the waiter and tossed a gold leaf to him. The waiter suddenly started smiling again and continued. “Something else happened after that. After She Fei became a Demigod, he came to the Buddha Thearch’s region and asked for Lady Yi Chan’s hand in marriage. It was said that… the Yi Clan’s elders and seniors were very pleased. The Buddha Thearch also gave his consent. However, Lady Yi Chan did not agree in the end; she demanded Young Master She Fei become an eight-star martial expert within five years before asking for her hand in marriage again.”

“Hehe.”

Jiang Yi was not happy with what the waiter had said initially. However, he smiled after hearing the second half of the story. Yi Chan was still the same as usual, looking down on all the men of the world. Even if She Fei had become a Demigod, she too didn’t think highly of him. Her demand was obviously a delaying tactic.

The waiter paused for a while and said, “Sometime after that, yet another big event occurred. That was two months ago. The first young master of the Zhan Clan, Zhan Tianlei, came out of seclusion. At the age of thirty, he broke through the Demigod Realm, stunning the entire continent.”

“What?”

Jiang Yi’s body shook. He almost grabbed the waiter’s shirt again. Was this Demigod Realm so easy to attain nowadays that anyone could reach it? What more, at the age of thirty?

The waiter did not notice Jiang Yi’s expression and continued. His next words sent Jiang Yi jumping. “After Zhan Tianlei came out of seclusion, he immediately went with the Battle Emperor to the Yin Thearch City to ask for Yin Ruobing’s hand in marriage. The Yin Emperor agreed, and the marriage was set that day… with the wedding to take place a year later. From now, that would be nine months later.”

Boom!

Jiang Yi’s brain seemed to have exploded, with all kinds of emotions hitting him.

In his brain surfaced a clever and intelligent girl and a lot of different images. He had deep memories of Yin Ruobing, especially when Yin Ruobing had blocked his way outside the Purgatory Ruin. The image of her willing to die together with him made him even more agitated.

With regard to Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing who were both absolute beauties, Jiang Yi had always been very conflicted. He would be lying if he said he didn’t like them; he wasn’t a cold-blooded man but was a normal person. The two were so beautiful that any guy would be moved by them; what more him who always had a complicated relationship with the two.

However, Jiang Yi had always suppressed his feelings. As he had entered the Gods Bestow Tribe and was on good terms with Ao Lu, he was destined to be enemies with the Nine Thearch Clans. There would be no future with either of the two ladies. He had always been avoiding, not even daring to think about this matter.

He had come to the East Imperial Continent to save Su Ruoxue and to find Yi Piaopiao. He did not have the time to fool around. Hence, when Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing went to find him on Buddha Mountain—wanting to get close to him, he had been like a hedgehog, sealing his gentle nature away and only revealing a self of thorns.

However, at this moment—hearing that Yin Ruobing was going to marry someone else, he did not feel good. There was a sour thought to it. Maybe this was the common failing of men: one could decide not to like and could decide not to want, but he could not tolerate others to come close.

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi laughed at himself for being such a sentimentalist and for being unsatisfied with what he had. Things have already progressed so far along; there was no time to think about such things. Furthermore, there was no way to stop such things from happening; he couldn’t have it all.

I’m not going to think anymore. Tomorrow, I will head to Mystic Divine Mountain.

Jiang Yi shook his head and got rid of all the stray thoughts inside him. He dismissed the waiter and sat cross-legged on his bed. He was thinking about what would happen this time when he went to Mystic Divine Mountain. Could he safely enter Mystic Divine Palace and retrieve the Glazed Pagoda?
