Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Jiang Yi was teleported back into Earth Emanations Castle where Mo Lingqiu had been waiting for him the entire time.

Once Jiang Yi appeared, he grinned. “Jiang Yi, you brat, your luck is just that good. I don’t know what the Earth Emanations Sovereign sees in you, but from now on, nobody in Earth Emanations Domain will dare to mess with you!”

Jiang Yi felt certain repulsion to Mo Lingqiu because of what he had done in the Earth Emanations Hall. However, Jiang Yi thought about how he and Mo Lingqiu were unrelated in any way and realized that he had no reason to expect Mo Lingqiu to help him despite all costs. Thus, he forced a smile but said nothing.

Mo Lingqiu did not take it to heart either. After a moment, he said, “Jiang Yi, are you going back to Divine Eagle City to act as City Lord? Or are you going to Earth Emanations City to cultivate? If you want to become an Assistant Prefecture Lord, just let me know. I can do that for you. Otherwise, just stay in Earth Emanations City? I’ll prepare a yard for you and assign a role to you in Earth Emanations Pavilion.”

“No problem!”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your kind offer, My Lord. I think I will return to Divine Eagle City.”

“Alright then!”

Mo Lingqiu did not bother talking any more nonsense. Instead, he turned to face the outside and said, “Xiao Hong, bring Jiang Yi back.”

Shh-shh-shh!

Xiao Hong walked in briskly and bowed towards Mo Lingqiu. With a complex expression, he looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Jiang Yi, My Lo… please!”

“My Lord, I’ll take my leave.”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands at Mo Lingqiu once again and then followed Xiao Hong out, taking big strides as he went. Once they emerged from Earth Emanations Castle, Jiang Yi realized that countless gazes were fixed on him. They were all astonished. It was almost as if they were confused about how Jiang Yi could walk out alive after this ordeal. What’s more, his footsteps seemed so light.

Very quickly, the people outside discovered something amiss. The Heaven Emanations guarding the gate of Earth Emanations Castle were bowing to Jiang Yi? In fact, they were smiling as they watch him leave. A wave of shock immediately shot through the crowd outside. What exactly happened inside the Earth Emanations Hall? Even with the amount of power they had, the Qin Clan could not get rid of one City Lord? These arrogant Heaven Emanations were even being so polite to Jiang Yi?

“Eh?”

As Jiang Yi walked towards the Teleportation Formation, the crowd noticed one more detail. Xiao Hong was walking behind Jiang Yi as if he was the latter’s lackey. Xiao Hong was a Titled Heaven Emanations and one of the more prominent formidable martial artists in Earth Emanations Domain, too.

There was a huge commotion in the city plaza. Countless people began discussing and guessing what happened in the hall.

No matter what the truth was, Jiang Yi’s name was destined to be well-known throughout Earth Emanations Domain from that day on. Ordinary family clans would not dare to provoke him even if they had the best support in the domain. The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s subordinates and the most powerful family clan in the Earth Emanations Domain, the Qin Clan, could not even deal with this man. Who else would dare to provoke this demon and bring trouble unto themselves?

After Jiang Yi and Xiao Hong teleported away, countless investigators immediately ran back to the various courtyards throughout the city, spreading the news to all the family clans. They also went around collecting as much information as they could. This piece of news spread throughout Earth Emanations Domain at a terrifying speed. Almost instantaneously, everyone in the cities and tribes of Earth Emanations Domain was discussing this matter.

…

“Sovereign!”

Mo Lingqiu waited for Jiang Yi to leave before he returned to the nameless island to ask for instructions. “Jiang Yi has returned to Divine Eagle City. I asked him to remain in Earth Emanations City or cultivate on Blue Eagle Mountain, but he did not want to.”

“Let him do what he wants!”

Earth Emanations Sovereign waved his hand and poured himself a cup of tea. “There’s no need to take special care of him. Let nature take its course. If he does not experience the difficulties of this world, he will never become an absolute master…”

“En!”

Mo Lingqiu nodded. Then, with a puzzled look, he asked, “Sovereign, what’s so special about Jiang Yi? Why are you stepping out to help him?”

Mo Lingqiu knew full well that the Earth Emanations Sovereign was not doing this on account of Jiang Xiaonu. With power like his—although he could not afford to offend the Green Eagle King, he was also not fearful of the latter. What’s more, the Green Eagle King did not even like Jiang Yi.

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled and said, “There’s no need for you to know these things. If nothing goes wrong, all of you will understand in a few years. If Jiang Yi does not go off-track and matures as he was meant to, he will be very useful to our Mo Clan at the end of time.”

“Uh?”

Mo Lingqiu’s entire body trembled, and his eyes widened in astonishment. The Earth Emanations Sovereign did not reveal any huge news, but based on the comments he was making about Jiang Yi—that he would be very useful to the Mo Clan, Mo Lingqiu could tell… the Earth Emanations Sovereign thought that Jiang Yi would attain a very high level in the future!

“Take your leave.”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign waved his hand and did not give any more special instructions. He stepped out to help Jiang Yi today, and that should have been enough for the great family clans to understand. They would not provoke Jiang Yi in the future. Naturally, there was no need for the Earth Emanations Sovereign to say any more about the matter.

Mo Lingqiu quickly left the nameless island and returned to Earth Emanations Castle. He entered a huge hall and gathered two Heaven Emanations at once. To one of them, he said, “Mo Shangxing, follow Jiang Yi from now on and protect him in secret. Don’t let Jiang Yi discover that you’re there.”

“Yes!”

One of the Heaven Emanations nodded and left. Mo Lingqiu then turned to the other and said, “You go and find out everything you can about Jiang Yi. The more detailed, the better. Send some people to the Lower Domain, to Stellarsky Domain, to investigate about him, too.”

“Understood!”

This Heaven Emanations left after receiving those instructions. Mo Lingqiu pondered silently, and then suddenly shouted, stopping him. “If Jiang Yi has any family or women in Stellarsky Domain, take care of them if you can…”

The two Heaven Emanations were gone now. Mo Lingqiu sat alone inside the huge hall, his eyes filled with confusion. He mumbled to himself, “Jiang Yi, what secrets are you hiding? Why does the Sovereign think so highly of you? I’ve really been blind to all of these this time. However, the Sovereign did Jiang Yi a huge favor. That should make up for it.”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign did not make things clear, and Mo Lingqiu did not dare to ask any further either. All he could do was do his research on Jiang Yi and treat him well in secret. One way he did this was by sending a Heaven Emanations to the Lower Domain to take care of Jiang Yi’s family and women for him. Given Jiang Yi’s character—if he found out about this later, he would be eternally grateful to the Mo Clan.

…

Buzz!

Jiang Yi and Xiao Hong teleported to Blue Eagle Mountain. The members of the Xiao Clan were similarly astonished to see them, but no one said a word. This was because they discovered one thing: Xiao Hong was standing behind Jiang Yi.

“Jiang Yi!”

Xiao Hong waited for the dizziness that Jiang Yi felt to subside a bit before he grinned and said, “Why don’t you stay on my Blue Eagle Mountain from now on? There is a natural spirit concentration array around my mountain that thickens the spirit energy by ten times. I also have a very powerful secret cultivation room here…”

The Xiao Clan’s disciples exchanged confused looks. What exactly happened that allowed Jiang Yi to walk out of Earth Emanations Hall alive? From the looks of it… their Clan Head seemed to be eager to offer even his own daughter to accompany Jiang Yi.

“That won’t be necessary!”

Jiang Yi did not want to go anywhere for now. He was comfortable living in Divine Eagle City. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly sent a voice transmission: “Prefecture Lord, send someone to go to North River City for me and take the Poison Spirit back. I drew a map; it’ll be easy for them to find the place. Take my City Lord Token. The Poison Spirit will come back with you. I need to make a trip to Crazed God Castle.”

Now that he was safe, and the Earth Emanations Sovereign promised not to pursue the matter about the Poison Spirit, Jiang Yi wanted to fetch the Poison Spirit back as soon as he could. There was still some time before the auction would begin, but if he went to fetch the Poison Spirit personally, it would be akin to slapping the Qin Clan in the face. Since he promised the Earth Emanations Sovereign not to do so, he thought it was best not to cross the line.

“Poison Spirit?”

Xiao Hong’s expression changed, and Jiang Yi sent another voice transmission: “Don’t worry, the Sovereign has said this himself: he’ll forget about everything that happened with the Qin Clan. The Qin Clan will not pursue the Poison Spirit anymore as well.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Xiao Hong nodded, and Jiang Yi handed a map and a letter to him, together with his City Lord Token. Then, he summoned a person and told him to fetch the Poison Spirit back. Finally, he turned to Jiang Yi, smiling and sent him a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, are you going to Crazed God Castle to buy things or… find trouble?”

Jiang Yi had a Golden Token of Immunity on his hands now. He could do whatever he wanted in Earth Emanations Domain. Xiao Hong was afraid that Jiang Yi would go around seeking revenge. Since the great family clans could not deal directly with Jiang Yi, Xiao Hong was terrified that their anger would be redirected to him.
