Boom!
Jiang Yi felt as though his mind blew up like a bolt from the blue. His body staggered, and he was feeling dizzy. If it wasn’t for Zhan Wushuang supporting him, he was probably going to collapse on the floor.
He had just parted with Zhuge Qingyun a few days ago. His amiable and venerable senior suddenly perished in just a few days? How could he accept this?
In the beginning, Jiang Yi didn’t have a good impression of Zhuge Qingyun because he had a good relationship with Jiang Bieli. Afterward, he got to know Zhuge Qingyun better after the incident when Shui Qianrou chased after him. Later on—when he left the college, Zhuge Qingyun even bestowed him the Black Scale Sword and mentioned that he was on good terms with Yi Piaopiao. From then on, Jiang Yi had some respect for Zhuge Qingyun.
There was no need to explain the matters later on. Outside of the Summer Rain City, Zhuge Qingyun fought against two Vajra Realm martial experts by himself for Jiang Yi’s sake. From that moment onwards, Jiang Yi acknowledged Zhuge Qingyun as his own senior, a senior that showed care and concern for him. This time, he was actually feeling very guilty because Zhuge Qingyun was nearly killed by the Devil Star Vine.
Right now, he was dead. He was murdered. The Zhuge Qingyun who had been supporting Mt. Spirit Beast College for over a century—the Zhuge Qingyun who was one of the top ten martial experts of the continent—had been murdered!
Not only Jiang Yi, but also Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan, and Su Ruoxue were all stunned. They had all stayed in Mt. Spirit Beast College for a period of time. Zhuge Qingyun had always been that invincible guardian deity to them, but this guardian deity was actually murdered.
The guards from the three clans were all speechless and had grieving expressions on their faces. Zhuge Qingyun had a good reputation throughout his life: he was righteous, upright, and plain-spoken. The majority of the martial artists on the continent revered him. This sudden grievous news had brought sorrow to everyone.
Hoo-Hoo!
Jiang Yi suddenly let out coarse breaths as his face had turned malevolent. His eyes had subconsciously turned blood red, and killing aura was pouring out as he suddenly roared towards the sky!
“Ah—!”
His voice shook the sky and the ground, causing pain in everyone’s eardrums. His voice echoed throughout the entire Summer Rain City and in the sky for a long time. It was filled with sorrow, grief, and resentment. Everyone in the city felt their hearts palpitating, and there were plenty who were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
“I am making a trip to the college!”
After yelling, Jiang Yi’s expression wasn’t that malevolent anymore; but it was still fearfully gloomy. He turned and walked out in large strides. Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan, and Su Ruoxue snapped out of their daze and quickly ran out. “We will go with you.”
Jiang Yi thought about it. They were all members of the Mt. Spirit Beast College. Especially Su Ruoxue who had been staying in the college for many years. They had to go and pay their respects since Zhuge Qingyun had passed away, and so Jiang Yi immediately agreed.
“Report!”
Just as he was going to put everyone into the Universal Palace, one of the generals rushed in. When he saw that Su Ruoxue and Jiang Yi were around, he quickly kneeled on one knee and reported: “My Queen, Lord Regent, we just received news that Princess Yun Fei had been attacked by a mysterious individual when returning to Mystic Heaven City, and all the guards had been wiped out. After the guards desperately tried to hold back the enemy, Princess Yun Fei managed to escape using her Art of Plant Spirit, and she has been rescued by Grandma Silver Flower. Princess Yun Fei specially sent a message… asking everyone to stay safe. She used the Art of Plant Spirit and intercepted the conversation of that group of assailants. The enemy said that they were going to make their move on the Queen, Young Master Zhan, and Young Master Qian!”
“En?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes turned cold again. Zhan Wushuang’s face turned, and he became extremely tensed up. Qian Wanguan and Su Ruoxue had an even worst expression.
“Mysterious individual again?”
Jiang Yi looked towards the sky and suddenly felt an invisible hand that was trying to envelop them and kill all of them!
What was Zhuge Qingyun’s status? What was Yun Fei’s status?
There was almost no one on this continent that dared to make a move on the two of them. They didn’t just make a move; they had succeeded. If Yun Fei didn’t have the Art of Plant Spirit which could spot danger in advance, Yun Fei might not have been able to escape.
He didn’t know who the one that made the move was; he didn’t know if they were the same group that attacked Zhuge Qingyun and Yun Fei. He suddenly felt suffocated as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his shoulders. If he didn’t handle this properly, he might be crushed into smithereens.
“They are going to make a move on the Queen, Young Master Zhan, and Young Master Qian?”
When he thought of Yun Fei’s message, Jiang Yi’s eyes turned cold as he said, “From now on, all of you will stay beside me. Wherever I go, you will go with me until I find the mastermind and kill all of them. Even if I am to die, we will die together!”
Su Ruoxue didn’t have any objection. Qian Wanguan was happy to follow Jiang Yi, too, as he could still remotely control the Qian Clan’s assets. Zhan Wushuang slightly hesitated as he couldn’t leave Yun Fei to die. The Zhan Clan was already preparing to go propose for marriage and bring back Yun Fei.
“Brother Wushuang, don’t be in a hurry. I will help you to settle Yun Fei’s matter. Let’s go to Mt. Spirit Beast College first!”
Jiang Yi noticed Zhan Wushuang’s hesitation. After Zhan Wushuang nodded, Jiang Yi immediately put everyone into the Universal Palace before he summoned the Yazi Beast to make haste towards Mt. Spirit Beast College.
Who killed the Principal? He might be injured, but he was still a famed martial expert for a long time. He was definitely ranked top five among the top ten martial experts of the continent, and he even had a golden dragon demon king. Not even a regular Vajra Realm martial expert could kill him in a sneak attack, right? The place of battle was even outside the college where there were so many eye-witnesses. Were they not able to determine who killed him?
Jiang Yi was having headaches and was rubbing his temples. At this moment, he suddenly recalled about the Sweet Flag Leaf. With the thought in his mind, he retrieved the two stalks of spirit herb and took a closer look. After taking a whiff of the fragrance, he was certain that these were Sweet Flag Leaves. He immediately took the two pieces of leaves and refined them while seated cross-legged on the back of the Yazi Beast.
This Sweet Flag Leaf was too easy to refine as it would turn into energy before enveloping the soul spirit. The energy would then be automatically absorbed by the soul spirit. There were so many benefits in strengthening the soul spirit; Jiang Yi naturally refined these spirit herbs first.
After spending an entire day, he had completed the refinement of the two Sweet Flag Leaves. The Yazi Beast was still making haste with its maximum speed, and Mt. Spirit Beast College was already in sight. Jiang Yi looked internally at his soul spirit to make sure nothing was wrong with the Sweet Flag Leaves. He then looked over at Mt. Spirit Beast which a face that was filled with remorse.
Swish!
The Yazi Beast penetrated the air and quickly arrived above the college, which caused a huge commotion below.
Swish!
A white light flashed in Jiang Yi’s hand as he withdrew the Yazi Beast. He then descended and landed on the ground. His hand flashed again as Su Ruoxue, Qian Wanguan, and the others immediately appeared.
Wow!
After identifying that it was Jiang Yi, all the cadets and mentors in the plaza burst with passion as they rushed towards them. A few of the mentors who recognized Jiang Yi yelled out from far away, “Jiang Yi, you have to exact revenge for the Principal! The Principal died a wrongful death!”
Swish!
A white figure shot out from the inner courtyard and then yelled out, “Jiang Yi, Principal Qi just sent over a message. They have discovered Liu Yu’s whereabouts and are in pursuit. You should hurry up and go help!”
“Liu Yu?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes revealed a trace of confusion while Su Ruoxue’s delicate body shivered and said, “Vice Principal Liu? He is the one who harmed the Principal?”
“Who else other than that bastard traitor? If it wasn’t for him plotting against the Principal, how would the mysterious man be able to kill the Principal with his formidable strength?”
“Yes, we personally witness the bastard Liu Yu slamming a palm on the Principal! If we are to catch that bastard, we will surely tear him into pieces!”
“…”
Everyone started to complain and denounce Liu Yu. Jiang Yi was formidable and famed for his martial prowess. He was also the pride of Mt. Spirit Beast College, who everyone treated as the backer of the college. With Zhuge Qingyun dead while the rest of the Vice Principals were just at the eighth or ninth stage of Soul Travel Realm, they naturally counted on Jiang Yi to help Zhuge Qingyun take revenge.
