After everyone had discussed the matter further, the suspicion of the Endless Deep Sea grew deeper!
The demon race and the human race were at odds; each side wanted to annihilate the other. The Endless Deep Sea had been biding its time and gaining strength these years; it had become much stronger. Especially after Ao Lu had returned, he had built many magical formations; the billions of demons in the Endless Deep Sea were becoming much more powerful day by day.
Ao Lu had a lifespan of a million years. Now, only seven hundred thousand years had gone by. Over the seven hundred thousand years that he had been made captive inside the Mystic Divine Palace, the demon race had been slaughtered by the Mystic Thearch and the human race. Ao Lu wanting revenge and to restore the demon race to its former glory was also something believable.
The demon race was very strong; they had an uncountable number of Demon Sovereigns. Jiang Yi could realize the Mirage Divine Ability; the demon race naturally could do so as well. The most suspicious thing was that all the conflicts on the continent recently had been due to the same reason: both sides had become very agitated right before they started fighting. To be able to affect so many people—so many Demigods—without alerting anyone at all, that could only be the demonic arts.
Furthermore, the mysterious black-robed man’s strange evasion technique was something that even the Beast Thearch could not track. Tu Xian had also admitted that he had not seen such a type of evasion technique before. However, if it was something from the Endless Deep Sea’s demon race, then everything could be easily explained.
“Ao Lu, you are my mortal enemy!”
Beast Thearch was beyond doubt at this point in time that the demon race was behind everything. He roared out his rage as if an ancient beast releasing a loud roar. The roaring was so intense that Yi Chan’s ears started to hurt. If Li Feiyu had not stepped in front of her to block the sound waves, Yi Chan might have felt even worse.
“Senior Tu Xian!”
Yi Chan waited for the Beast Thearch to finish venting his anger before cupping her hands and said, “In my opinion, the most important thing now is to gather the remaining Thearchs, the Ten Concealed Sects, and the Ten Ancient Clans to gather to discuss this matter. We will only be able to stop this calamity from worsening if we are united; if not, the human race will definitely be annihilated.”
“Discuss? Discuss your ass.”
Tu Xian started to scold as he looked angrily at the Mystic Divine Palace, saying, “It’s all this lad’s fault. Would the North Thearch and Battle Thearch dare to leave the North Thearch City and the Battle Thearch City now? Without Wu Shang or the Battle Thearch leading the pack—with your grandfather trapped inside the Black Sea and my Beast Thearch City in ruins, who is there to discuss what?!”
“What?”
Yi Chan still did not know that the Buddha Thearch was trapped; the Yi Clan had not notified her either. Her face changed immediately as she hurriedly asked, “Senior Tu Xian, what did you say? My grandfather is trapped in the Black Sea?”
“You do not know?”
Tu Xian looked at Yi Chan and said, “Not only your grandfather; but the Night Empress, the Yin Thearch, and the Xuan Thearch have all been trapped there as well! Sigh… with the appearance of the Mystic Divine Palace, calamity befalls; and the human race goes extinct! The Mystic Thearch had indeed seen into the future; his words were true. Could it be that the Stellarsky Domain is really facing its end?”
Yi Chan shot a look at Li Feiyu as the latter nodded and said, “I had also recently received this news. I thought that Lady Yi Chan had already known. Your father had already brought men to rescue them. Your grandfather and the other Thearchs are incredibly powerful; they will definitely be able to escape unscathed. Lady Yi, you do not have to be overly worried.”
“Go!”
Yi Chan was worried about the Buddha Thearch. She did not bother with the Beast Thearch anymore and exchanged a glance with Li Feiyu as the group flew into the Mystic Divine Palace. Jiang Yi also got ready to leave; since his family and friends could not be found, there was no point in staying in the Beast Thearch City.
Buzz!
However, even as the Mystic Divine Palace trembled, it did not create a hole in the spatial zone this time; the spatial zone only fluctuated slightly. The Mystic Divine Palace was unable to use Heaven Evasion.
“Hmph!”
The Beast Thearch laughed mockingly and said, “Jiang Yi, do you really think that our Divine Lock Array is only for show? Don’t talk about the Mystic Divine Palace—once the Divine Lock Array is activated, even an immortal can be captured! You have caused so many deaths to the Tu Clan; do you expect to leave just like that?”
Jiang Yi’s face became cold. Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing hurriedly tried to restrain him. Jiang Yi paused and suppressed his rage as he calmly sent out a message, “Then what does the Beast Thearch want? This matter was obviously a misunderstanding. Furthermore, your clan had attacked first. I was just forced to protect myself.”
“If you hadn’t come, there would not have been any problems!”
Tu Xian said coldly. He thought about it for a moment, then opened his mouth, and said, “You can come out and kneel down and bow three times to the dead of the Tu Clan, or you can compensate a hundred ancient artifacts. If not, we can perish together.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi was furious as he laughed out loud. If it wasn’t for Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan holding on to him, he was about to go berserk again. He coldly replied, “Are you trying to push all the blame onto me? Alright… seeing that you helped me to save my family and friends, I will give you one ancient artifact. If you spout more nonsense, I won’t even give you one! If you want to fight, I will fight you to the end. This time, I guarantee that not only will you not be able to kill me, but I will also kill every one of your clan. You should know my character by now.”
“You…”
The Beast Thearch’s killing aura amplified in an instant, his dragon eyes widening as his face was cold as metal. The atmosphere in the city was also becoming very stifling. Many Tu Clan elders’ auras were gathering. They were all waiting for the Beast Thearch to give the order before attacking with everything they got.
Buzz!
Half a minute later, a Teleportation Formation suddenly lit up. A martial artist wearing a bright yellow long robe teleported into the city. He saw the Mystic Divine Palace and immediately yelled, “Is Lady Chan there?”
Jiang Yi could hear that voice from the outside, but Yi Chan could not. He coldly said, “She is; what is the matter?”
That man cupped his hands and shouted, “The Yi Clan has a message for Lady Chan to return to the Buddha Thearch City swiftly. Something big has happened.”
“Huh!”
Jiang Yi conveyed the message to Yi Chan, and she immediately asked Jiang Yi to teleport her outside. She took a look at the man and confirmed that he was from the Yi Clan before sending a voice transmission: “What has happened?”
That man swiftly replied, “The Shi Clan, Ma Clan, and Zi Clan have combined forces to attack the Buddha Region. More than a few dozen cities have already fallen.”
“What?”
Yi Chan’s expression changed drastically. She turned and swiftly explained the situation to the Beast Thearch. She then pleaded, “Senior Tu Xian, if the situation continues to worsen, the entire continent would be ruined. Can we not fight among ourselves now? I will decide for Jiang Yi. Three ancient artifacts are to be given to the Tu Clan. Then, this matter will be settled. Is that ok?”
“Alright, I will give you face.”
The Beast Thearch nodded as his expression was both serious and surprised. The Nine Thearch Clans had immense authority and prestige that was unrivaled; have these three ancient clans gone crazy? They dared to attack the Yi Clan?
Yi Chan returned to the Mystic Divine Palace and explained everything to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi also did not want to dilly-dally with the Tu Clan anymore. He had many ancient artifacts; at least dozens. He did not mind giving three of them to the Tu Clan. If they delayed their return by even one day, the Yi Clan would be in more danger. The Buddha Thearch and Buddha Emperor had taken with them many Demigods; there were not many formidable martial artists from the Yi Clan left on the East Imperial Continent.
Of course, he did not want the Tu Clan to have it so easily. He chose three ancient artifacts that he deemed the most unworthy and threw them to the Beast Thearch. He then coldly said, “Withdraw the Divine Lock Array!”
Beast Thearch also didn’t care much for the three ancient artifacts; he just wanted his face. He naturally did not wish to die together with Jiang Yi. The situation on the continent was getting messier. If both of them perished here, the Tu Clan would be utterly destroyed; the beastmen race would also be annihilated.
The Beast Thearch asked his men to withdraw the Divine Lock Array, and Jiang Yi immediately activated the Mystic Divine Palace’s Heaven Evasion and headed northeast.
“Have the Shi Clan, the Ma Clan, and the Zi Clan gone mad? Even if they could destroy the Yi Clan, what good would that do them? When your grandfather and your father returned, can the three clans stop your grandfather’s attacks seeking revenge?”
Jiang Yi controlled the Mystic Divine Palace as he asked curiously. Yi Chan’s eyes were filled with chaos and shock, her body slightly trembling. Suddenly, her eyes watered as she said, with her voice shaking, “These three clans have been suppressed by my clan a hundred thousand years ago; they were almost wiped out. The reason why they are so brazen and audacious this time could only be because… something had happened to my grandfather and the rest of them!”
“Ah?”
Yin Ruobing had wanted to comfort Yi Chan. However, after hearing this, her body shuddered also, her face becoming ghastly white as snow. The Yin Thearch was probably with the Buddha Thearch; if something had happened, those with him would not be able to escape either.
