Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

No one knew what really happened in the Purgatory Ruin. The truth was forever sealed in that remain of the ancient great clan, along with over 200,000 people.

The treasure hunt was over, and everyone went back to their respective clans. Of course, those who were important enough to come to the Buddha Thearch’s birthday all went to the Buddha Thearch City. Even though Tu Long, Jian Wuying, and Wu Ni were really upset, they went to the Buddha Thearch City anyway. This time, they went to the Purgatory Ruin not just for the treasures. There was one more mission: to represent their clans and congratulate the Buddha Thearch on his birthday.

The Nine Thearch Clans competed with one another, but they appeared friendly. The other clans would definitely send people to attend an event as important as the Buddha Thearch’s birthday. Of course, this time, the Buddha Thearch didn’t hold an extravagant banquet or invite a lot of people, which was what the Buddha Emperor asked for. Otherwise, all the Clan Heads would come in person.

The Purgatory Ruin was just a ten-day journey away from the Buddha Thearch City. The Buddha Emperor’s Heaven Fate Ship was at the top class and faster. It took only five days to get to the Buddha Thearch City.

Jiang Yi was severely injured and slept for six days. By the time that he woke up, he was already in the Buddha Thearch City and stayed in a Yi Clan’s courtyard.

“Where is this?”

He was still aching all over. He broke too many bones. Jiang Yi knew that it took at least a week for him to heal completely. After he woke up, he looked around first and checked his body. Then, he looked at two maidservants at his bedside and asked them in a deep voice.

The two maidservants were good-looking and were acquainted with etiquette. When they heard Jiang Yi’s question, one of them bowed and answered, “Young Master Bai Yi, this is the Yi Fragrance Pavilion, the place that the Yi Clan entertained their distinguished guests. You can rest assured and recuperate. Lady Chan has said that you are the Yi Clan’s VIP guest. It’s very safe here, and no one will disturb you.”

“Yi Fragrance Pavilion?”

Light flashed by Jiang Yi’s eyes. He remembered the scene of Yi Chan asking people to carry him to the Heaven Fate Ship before he passed out. He appeared calm but was feeling extremely bitter on the inside. He was a spy from the Sin Island—a traitor that was close to the Great Emperor of the Demon Race, and he was lying in the Yi Clan’s pavilion?!

“Leave me!”

He waved his hands and dismissed the maidservants. Lying on the bed, he recalled what happened and thought about his plans.

He had no memory about the things in the Purgatory Ruin. He only remembered that he went to the Purgatory Ruin and was almost killed by four other clans when he got out. It was Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan who saved him in the end.

“I severed She Fei’s legs? How did I do that? They call me Bai Yi? Then, my identity wasn’t exposed in the Purgatory Ruin, which means that I didn’t release the Fury of Thunder or the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. Then, how did I sever She Fei’s legs?

“Why is Yin Ruobing so protective towards me? Yi Chan was into me? How is that possible?

“When I got out, I held a stone furnace in my arms. What is that?

“Did the Buddha Emperor see through me?

“Should I leave now, or after resting for a few days?

“…”

A lot of doubts flashed by Jiang Yi’s mind. He was very uneasy to stay in the Yi Clan. He almost performed Heaven Evasion straight away. However, his injury was too grave, and he was in the Buddha Thearch City right now, wherein he would be easily exposed. Therefore, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

“I shall heal for two days first. Since I am safe at the moment, it should be fine for the time being.”

His eyes turned. He forced himself not to overthink. He took out two healing pills from the Ancient Divine Essence Ring and swallowed them. Then, he checked the things in the Ancient Divine Essence Ring. He was relieved to find that nothing was missing.

“Er? Fire Snake Orchid? Did I get the Fire Snake Orchid? Emm… I’ve got a lot more spirit herbs and treasures!”

He was surprised to find Fire-Snake Orchid when searching the Ancient Divine Essence Ring. He wanted to take out the green pearl and call for the Shadow Emperor’s men. However, he was reminded that he was in the Yi Clan. Even if there were Shadow Emperor’s men in the Buddha Thearch City, they probably couldn’t locate him. Therefore, he abandoned the thought for now.

“Huuu…”

Jiang Yi was completely relaxed when he was sure that he got the Fire Snake Orchid. He would hand the Fire Snake Orchid to the Shadow Emperor’s people when he had the chance. At least, he fulfilled one agreement between him and Ao Lu. Qianqian could be cured.

“Wu Ni! Ji Tingyu!”

A cold look flickered across his lips when he recalled that Wu Ni seemed to want to kill him before he passed out. He didn’t take the two down in the Purgatory Ruin. It looked like he had to pursue them slowly. He didn’t know whether they were in the Buddha Thearch City or back in the North Thearch City now.

“Servants!”

He shouted the door outside opened immediately. Two maidservants walked in and bowed. “Young Master, your order please.”

Jiang Yi turned his eyes and asked, “How many days has it been since the end of the treasure hunt in the Purgatory Ruin?”

A maidservant thought for a while and replied. “Young Master, it has been six days!”

“I have been asleep for so long?”

Jiang Yi nodded and asked, “Where is your lady? Which Young Masters are in the Buddha Thearch City right now—such as Young Master Wuying, and Young Master Wu Ni?”

“Our lady is with Lady Ruobing and Lady Ya!”

The maidservant answered. “Both Young Master Wuying and Young Master Wu Ni are here. They are in the Yi Fragrance Pavilion, too, and so are Young Master Ye Ying, Young Master Qijian, and Young Master Tu Long. They stay in the nearby pavilions.”

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi trembled. Wu Ni was not far away from him now?! Cold light sparkled in his eyes. He nearly got up and killed them instantly before leaving by Heaven Evasion.

Don’t be reckless!

Jiang Yi soon calmed himself down. He was in the Yi Clan’s territory! There were bound to be countless Yi Clan’s martial experts guarding nearby, let alone Wu Ni’s men. Even if he could break in the encirclement and take down Wu Ni, he could never leave by Heaven Evasion. The Buddha Emperor would probably shock him from the split of the space by one palm strike.

“Alright, leave me!”

Since Wu Ni was here, then Ji Tingyu definitely came along. There was a chance for him to take down the two. At worst, he would try to kill them on their way back to the North Thearch City. He still had a chance as long as they didn’t get to the North Thearch City.

He compelled himself to calm down and sit cross-legged for recuperation. However, after a while, he opened his eyes again. He couldn’t stay calm—he was on pins and needles.

He was a spy of the Sin Island, a traitor to the human race. If he was exposed, the Nine Thearch Clans would certainly execute him mercilessly. He felt like his identity was revealed by the Buddha Emperor’s glance. However, when he thought about it, he found it impossible. After all, the Nine Thearch Clans would never tolerate his relationship with Ao Lu.

Creak—

While he was indulged in his thought, a woman walked in. He looked up and saw a purple figure and a gorgeous ghost king mask. Yi Chan was here.

He quickly pulled himself together. She was suspicious of his identity at the entrance to the Purgatory Ruin. He couldn’t expose himself.

“Young Master Bai Yi.”

Yi Chan walked to the lion chair opposite Jiang Yi’s bed and sat down gracefully. She looked at him faintly and said, “Are you feeling better? You rest here first. It’s completely safe in the Yi Fragrance Pavilion.”

Jiang Yi looked at Yi Chan in the eyes blankly. His eyes were as calm as water, and his face was cold and distant. After a while, he said in a deep voice, “Lady Yi, do you fancy me?”

“Uh…”

Yi Chan’s pretty eyes turned away, a sliver of embarrassed look flickered across her eyes. She said quickly, “Young Master Bai Yi, don’t mistake my meaning. I am into your talent, not you.”

Hoo-Hoo!

Jiang Yi let out a deep breath and said to himself, “That’s okay, that’s great! I thought you’d take me to the Yi Clan to force me to marry you. I’ve told you before that I don’t like women… so, please, please, don’t be fond of me…”

“Bah!”
