Jiang Yi had indeed gone overboard this time. The incidents at Camel Mountains and Flood Martial City had spread out throughout the entire continent in just two days. The entire continent was in an uproar, and countless cities were flared up.
Jiang Yi’s name wasn’t unfamiliar to the East Imperial Continent. Putting aside the fact that he suppressed the Nine Thearchs Clans’ young masters and ladies in the Mystic Divine Palace to obtain the treasures himself and the fact that he had She Fei and Jian Wuying returned after a failed pursuit, just the achievements that he had on Sin Island and his relationship with Ao Lu was enough for all the continent’s citizens to remember him.
Sin Island was a humiliation to the East Imperial Nine Thearchs Clans and also a humiliation to the East Imperial Continent. Of course, it was also a sacred land where many martial artists who couldn’t make a living in the East Imperial Continent would go to.
Many clans on the continent were paying attention to Sin Island’s every move. After all, Sin Island and the East Imperial Continent were enemies. The people on Sin Island constantly wanted to invade the East Imperial Continent, and many people on the East Imperial Continent wished to destroy Sin Island.
Jiang Yi was very famous in Sin Island and had great achievements over there. The sky-high prices of his three Heaven Paintings had also become a legendary story, which was eulogized by the wandering poets on the continent.
In regard to Jiang Yi, there were different opinions among the citizens of the continent.
Some said he was a devil’s apostate who was wicked beyond redemption, a renegade from Sin Island, and the traitor of the human race. Some said he was a generational genius and would be an exception expert that would stay at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.
After the incident at the Camel Mountains and the Flood Martial City, those who thought he was a devil’s apostate were even more certain of their opinions. They believed that Jiang Yi was a spy sent by Sin Island and wanted to conduct a massacre on the continent. He wanted to bring up a storm of blood on the East Imperial Continent and help the demon race topple the human race’s rule.
Of course, many were filled with admiration towards Jiang Yi’s actions. How many years had it been since someone made an enemy out of the Nine Thearchs Clans? They didn’t care what would be Jiang Yi’s ending, at least he had the courage that was worthy of praise.
However, no one thought highly of Jiang Yi. History had proven that all those who made enemies out of the Nine Thearchs Clans would ultimately end up as crushed dust, and there were no exceptions!
…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The North Thearch City’s teleportation array was glistening non-stop, and the North Thearch was infuriated. He had personally given the orders for the clan to pursue Jiang Yi, and the North King was in charge of this matter. They had mobilized countless experts to the Flood Martial City, and ten Demigod Realm consecrators were also mobilized.
In the past, Jiang Yi had destroyed the Martial Arts Hall’s Stellarsky City’s branch hall and attacked the Phoenix Cry Continent’s branch hall, too. Those were considered minor matters. When he beat up Wu Ni outside the Mystic Divine Palace, it was also a small matter. Even the fact that he publicly assaulted Wu Ni’s Heaven Fate Ship at Camel Mountains wasn’t considered a huge matter.
However, he had attacked Flood Martial City and killed thousands of people in the city publicly. This was a serious matter!
The Nine Thearchs Clans’ prestige must not be provoked. Anyone who dared to attack the members or forces of the Nine Thearchs Clans’ cities would be the greatest offense to the Nine Thearchs Clans. It was the same as slapping the North Thearch’s Wu Clan’s face. If the Wu Clan didn’t get their face back, how were they going to continue lifting their heads? How were they going to use military prowess to intimidate others?
Once there was the first example, there would be more people that would dare to attack the North Thearch Wu Clan’s cities. This would be a huge morale blow to the major and minor clans that were the Wu Clan’s vassals.
Thus, Jiang Yi had to die. Even North Thearch—who never got involved—had given the order, and the North King was personally in charge of this matter.
…
Shh-shh-shh!
In a courtyard of the Buddha Castle, Yi Chan was meditating quietly in a zen room. The echoes of hurried footsteps could be heard from the outside, and Yi Chan’s brows—which were under a mask—had frowned a little. She hated it the most when someone disturbed her meditation, and all her servants knew about it. Could something huge have happened?
Creak! Creak!
The room’s door was pushed open, and an impressive-looking young master walked in—he was Yi Chan’s elder brother, Yi Zhen. Once he entered, he immediately spoke in an immense tone, “Yi Chan, Bai Yi appeared, and the information just arrived. He assaulted Wu Ni’s Heaven Fate Ship at Flood Martial City and killed thousands of men. He even killed many of Wu Clan’s Four and Five-Star experts. He even attacked the Flood Martial City and captured Wu Ni’s elder sister, Wu Ying’er, and Hong Clan’s First Young Master, Hong Po.”
“Uh…”
Yi Chan’s delicate body shuddered. Since Jiang Yi left the Painting Cliffs, Yi Chan had sent a message to the clan to take note of Bai Yi’s news. However, she didn’t expect him to be so rash and actually dared to assault Wu Ni. He even attacked the city.
“It is a good thing!”
Her eyes quickly lit up as she stood up and said, “Immediately ask someone to look for Bai Yi. This is the best opportunity to recruit Bai Yi. As long as he is willing to join our clan, I will beg Grandfather to go negotiate with the Wu Clan.”
“Ke-Ke!”
Yi Zhen let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. “We wouldn’t be able to recruit him, and we cannot recruit him. That person is destined to be our Nine Thearchs Clans’ enemy.”
Yi Chan was slightly astonished as she quickly asked, “Why?”
Yi Zhen let out a long sigh and said, “Because, he isn’t just Bai Yi, but also… Jiang Yi!”
“What?!”
Yi Chan’s eyes lit up like a flash of lightning, and her delicate body went soft as she nearly sat on the ground. Her beautiful eyes were as bright as lightning and were flickering non-stop. Quite a long while later, she closed her eyes and muttered, “No wonder I find him familiar when I saw him outside the ruin, and my senses weren’t wrong. Bai Yi, Jiang Yi, I should have guessed it. How can there be so many exceptional men in the world? Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi… one wrong move is followed by multiple wrong moves. How good would it be if I have brought him back to the Yi Clan from the Desolate East Sea, sigh…”
“Xiao Chan!”
Yi Zhen walked over and gently patted on Yi Chan’s shoulder and said, “Forget about that man. The day he entered Sin Island was the day he was destined to be our Nine Thearchs Clans’ enemy. Death is the only ending for that man!”
Yi Zhen left while Yi Chan was still standing in place and staring blankly. Her beautiful eyes were misty, and she let out a peal of mournful laughter after a good while. “Keke, the first man that I, Yi Chan, fancied is actually destined to be my enemy. Lamentable and ridiculous, simply ridiculous!”
…
“Jiang Yi? Bai Yi is Jiang Yi?”
Yin Ruobing was still on the way and had yet to return to Yin Emperor City. She had stopped in one of the cities to have a rest, and when she got this report, she couldn’t even react after a long time.
“He is a generational genius. Stop asking, Ruobing. Probably it won’t be long before you know who he is; maybe… we’ll all know who he is!”
Yin Ruobing suddenly recalled something that Yi Chan said in the Painting Cliffs, and she finally understood that the person at the Painting Cliffs was also Jiang Yi. She understood what that ‘thank you’ meant, why Jiang Yi wouldn’t join the Yin Clan, and why he wasn’t enticed by the Fragrant Lady Race’s temptation.
He was Jiang Yi, and it was destined that he would never be able to enter the Nine Thearchs Clans. He was going to be the archenemy of the Nine Thearchs Clans!
“Astral winds, ancient artifact, Bai Yi, Jiang Yi!”
Yin Ruobing’s eyes gradually dimmed, and her face was filled with an expression of pity. In her heart, Jiang Yi was undoubtedly a generational genius and was a very charming man. She might look amiable, but deep in her bones, she was cold and arrogant. If Yi Chan didn’t fancy those elite young masters, how could she fancy them?
These two exceptional beauties had hearts and expectations which were higher than the sky, and they were both waiting for an exceptional man who would be comparable to the Mystic Thearch. If Jiang Yi was able to absorb and release the astral winds, he already had one factor that was comparable to the Mystic Thearch. In their hearts, Jiang Yi had become a candidate to be their lover.
It was such a pity.
Heavens had played a huge joke with him. The only man that they fancied was actually destined to be a hopeless partner and doomed to be their enemy. This made them feel very lamentable and ridiculous… also lonely and sorrowful.
Yin Ruobing stood up slowly, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, and walked gently to the window. She looked at those blooming fresh flowers and murmured after a moment. “Life is full of sighs and isn’t a bed of roses. Things don’t go your way nine out of ten times.”
