The war in Phoenix Cry Continent wasn’t looking too optimistic.
Due to the involvement of the Lion Chi Demon Thearch, it had greatly boosted the offensive ability of the Merman Race. The Lion Chi Demon Thearch and the demon thearch of the Merman Race didn’t attack, but it still provided a great boost to the offensive ability, causing huge casualties to the continent’s experts and the soldiers.
The Merman Race had opened up ten battlefronts which covered the entire Phoenix Cry Continent’s western sea region. Apart from the army from Black Phoenix City, nine other armies were in the midst of intense battle. In just a few days time, a million soldiers had already perished on the Phoenix Cry Continent.
All the western cities apart from the Black Phoenix City had all fallen, but the Merman Race kept on delaying the assault on Black Phoenix City. The Merman Demon Thearch and the Lion Chi Demon Thearch each led 500,000 merman soldiers and stood by a hundred miles outside of Black Phoenix City. No one knew what they were thinking.
“The Merman Demon Thearch’s spirit wisdom isn’t inferior to humans!”
Phoenix Cry Thearch was making arrangements, and Qing Yu had come back to report after scouting the situation outside. Jiang Yi let out a long sigh.
Qing Yu blinked her eyes and glanced two times at Jiang Yi before she asked with doubts, “Young Master, could you know the reason why the Merman Demon Thearch isn’t attacking?”
“Ke-Ke!”
Jiang Yi let out a casual smile and reached up to rub his bald head. His battle-hardened face was filled with a confident glow, and when he saw Qing Yu’s startled expression, he spoke frankly, “You cannot see through such an obvious intention? The Merman Demon Thearch wants to eradicate the entire continent. If it was to station here with the Lion Chi Demon Thearch, Feng’er would have to guard this place to death.
“Moreover, all your martial experts in the Phoenix Cry Continent would be concerned to leave your Thearch here to defend. With all the armies gathered at the Black Phoenix City, the number of experts and the military forces in the other cities would naturally weaken. Their merman army would be able to take down the cities effortlessly and cleanse the entire continent with blood. Finally, the army would surround Black Phoenix City; and the two demon thearchs would make their move and wipe out all of you to obtain complete victory!”
“Ah?”
Qing Yu’s expression changed as she flickered her eyes with imposing spirit aura. She understood quickly as well. She was the Clan Head for the Qing Clan, and she naturally wasn’t a fool. However, too many things had happened today, which temporarily caused her mind to be sluggish.
The Merman Race wasn’t conspiring secretly; they were conspiring openly!
The two demon thearchs were here. If the armies didn’t defend this place, they would easily kill off the Thearch, and then go cleanse the continent with blood.
If they were to gather all the military and the experts here, they would split off their armies and attack the other places. They would consume the continent, eliminate all the vitality from the continent, and finally destroy the Phoenix Cry Thearch.
Of course!
Actually, with the two demon thearchs here, they could just work together and kill Feng Luan. Once Feng Luan was dead, the Phoenix Cry Continent would be without a ruler; and there would definitely be chaos. When that happened, the continent would truly be done for.
So why didn’t the two demon thearchs attack?
Qing Yu didn’t know; Jiang Yi didn’t know either. Feng Luan wouldn’t understand either. Right now, only the two demon thearchs would understand their own strategy.
“Young Master, do you have any plans?”
Qing Yu laughed bitterly and suddenly looked at Jiang Yi with hope. When she asked the question, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She had actually placed her hopes on a man? Didn’t she look down on men her entire life and wouldn’t rely on them? What was happening now…?
Qing Yu didn’t know that she wasn’t subconsciously trying to rely on a man. Instead, it was more of… her being Jiang Yi’s soul slave, making her naturally fearful towards Jiang Yi. Coupled with the fact that Jiang Yi had formidable strength and had counter-refined Feng Luan. In her heart, Jiang Yi was an expert, and experts always gave off a reliable atmosphere. Right now, Jiang Yi confident and extraordinary aura had unintentionally affected her.
Jiang Yi slipped into deep thought. Everyone used to say that a serious man was a good-looking man. Qing Yu looked at him with anxiety and felt this strange emotion as she continued looking at him. When Jiang Yi suddenly spoke, she got a fright. “There is no good plan, but I do have a plan!”
When Qing Yu snapped out of her senses, her face had a smear of redness as she spoke with ecstasy, “Young Master, please speak. If you can force the enemy to retreat, Young Master would be the benefactor of the Phoenix Cry Continent. The citizens of the continent would be grateful to Young Master for generations.”
“Alright, alright, your boot-licking isn’t good at all!”
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. There were just a few individuals who knew of his existence on this continent. If he was to help them repel the enemy, how would the citizens of the continent be grateful to him?
Jiang Yi asked with a deep voice, “How is Feng’er’s strength? Could she defeat the Merman Demon Thearch? What about defeating the Lion Chi Demon Thearch?”
Qing Yu thought about it and spoke with pride, “The Thearch had refined a high-grade soul spirit dao pattern shard. It is a darkness dao pattern among the heaven and earth dao pattern. It is dreadfully powerful. If we are to work together with her—even if we couldn’t kill the Merman Demon Thearch, it is very possible for us to deal severe injury to it.”
She paused for a moment before speaking again. “We do not know much about the Lion Chi Demon Thearch’s strength. It should be a demon race that lives in the deep sea, and we never fought with it before.”
“Darkness dao pattern?”
Jiang Yi lamented silently. Heaven and earth dao patterns were the hardest to comprehend and had the greatest power. However, this dao pattern was realized that Feng Luan herself as she merely inherited it from her ancestors.
When he thought about what the demon king said in the Desolate East Sea, his straight brows lifted and asked, “Have you heard of the demon thearch rankings in the Desolate East Sea? I heard that the Lion Chi Demon Thearch was ranked among the top five. What rank is this Merman Demon Thearch that you know of?”
“Top five?”
Qing Yu turned pale and exclaimed, “It was rumored that the Desolate East Sea has 15 demon thearchs, and this Merman Demon Thearch should at most be ranked tenth. If the Lion Chi Demon Thearch is ranked in the top five, it is an enemy we will not be able to defeat.”
“What are you panicking for?”
Jiang Yi stared at Qing Yu and asked again, “Is there any Vajra Realm males in your continent? He just needs to be at the first stage of the Vajra Realm.”
“This… there is!”
Qing Yu replied, “The Thearch’s lineage has a Vajra Realm man, but he is a bit older and would probably be stuck in this strength level for the rest of his life.”
“We will have to put up with it even if he is a bit older!”
Jiang Yi beckoned and said, “Go get Feng’er over here. I have a plan that could make the Lion Chi Demon Thearch temporarily retreat. When we repel the Merman Race, the Lion Chi Demon Thearch probably wouldn’t dare to attack this continent by himself. Otherwise, he would have made his move already.”
“Ah?”
Qing Yu was instantly delighted as she ran out like the wind. In less than 30 minutes, she brought Phoenix Cry Thearch here in a hurry.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi didn’t waste his time saying anything else. He took out the Thearch Palace which flashed and took out a demon king’s corpse. This demon king didn’t have a head and was only left with half the body. One could see that it was a sea lion. Even half the corpse was already the size of a small mountain as it took up a third of the palace chamber’s space.
Jiang Yi took out a spatial ring and stored the sea lion’s corpse in it. He handed it over to Feng Luan and said, “Ask your clan’s man who is of Vajra Realm to take this ring and sneak over to the western seaside. Ask him to take out the corpse and fly towards the western sea while carrying the corpse. The further he could go, the longer we will be able to delay the Lion Chi Demon Thearch. However, I will state that this person will certainly die, and if he could kill himself before the Lion Chi Demon Thearch caught up to him, it would be perfect. In addition… this person needs to disguise himself. Give him long red hair and make him look much younger…”
After Jiang Yi gave his detailed instructions, Qing Yu was bewildered; but Feng Luan had some idea. They paused for a moment and went out to make arrangements, without asking a single question.
Instead, Qing Yu asked in a daze, “Young Master, why would the Lion Chi Demon Thearch go on a pursuit if that person is carrying this demon king’s corpse?”
“About this…”
Jiang Yi didn’t have any expression, but he felt awkward in his heart as he couldn’t simply explain the truth. He couldn’t tell her that this corpse was the Lion Chi Demon Thearch’s son, and he might have implicated the Phoenix Cry Continent because the Lion Chi Demon Thearch was chasing him, right?
He looked at little Qing Yu’s curious eyes and glared at her ample breasts and said, “Little Qing Yu… Young Master is doing this for a certain reason. Why aren’t you going out to make arrangements to stop the merman army? Are you going to accompany me to do some shameless and passionate things?”
