Chapter 1154: As Rumors Fly, Demons Dance!

“Then what should we do now?”

Jiang Yi’s brain was in a total mess. The situation had become so complicated. If he wasn’t careful, he would become someone’s tool; he did not even dare to take any action now. If not, not only would he not be able to rescue Jiang Yunhai and company, but he could even be courting his own death.

“Wait!”

The Buddha Thearch said in a low voice, “I, the Xuan Thearch, The Night Empress, the Yin Thearch, and the Sword Thearch have all sent men out to gather more information. At the same time, many ancient races have also been activated. I have also contacted those sects among the Ten Concealed Sects who are reachable. There are now scouts everywhere in the continent, waiting for the mastermind to make his move again. Then, we will catch him in the act and combine forces to destroy him. No matter who it is, to dare to do something as depraved as this; we will not let him go.”

“En!”

Yi Chan also nodded and said, “The mastermind this time has already lost his humanity; no great family clan would let him off. Jiang Yi, rest assured!”

“Alright, then I will wait!”

Jiang Yi nodded. He still trusted the Buddha Thearch. Since the Buddha Thearch had asked him to wait, Jiang Yi would do as instructed. Jiang Yi left the Buddha Mountain and took out the Mystic Divine Palace. He landed the Mystic Divine Palace on the grass north of Buddha Mountain. If the mastermind wanted to contact him, he would naturally send someone to the Mystic Divine Palace.

At the same time, he sent Yin Ruobing to the Buddha Thearch City. He asked her to take out the Shadow Emperor’s pearl and contact his men, asking them to continue looking for Jiang Yunhai and company. He was too conspicuous; if it was Yin Ruobing reaching out to some people, that would not cause too much unwanted attention. There were scouts from the Yin Clan all about. Even if Yin Ruobing wanted to contact some people, that was also not much of a deal. This way, Yin Ruobing could also go and find Yi Chan to catch up.

Jiang Yi went into seclusion again. With the Mystic Divine Palace north of Buddha Mountain and the Buddha Thearch within the Buddha Mountain, it was as safe a place as it could get. If there was any news, the Buddha Thearch would definitely send him a message immediately. He started to cultivate his essence force as he used his State of the Union of Heaven and Man at the same time to try and realize the Heaven Painting that the Mystic Thearch had left behind.

No matter what, only if he possessed a certain level of strength could he deal with every type of possibility that might come his way.

…

Something else soon happened on the continent. This time, it occurred east of the continent, at the northern side of the She Clan’s territory. Furthermore, it was one of the Ten Ancient Clans—the Li Clan—that had declared war on another great family clan, the Long Clan!

The cause was also something minor. However, because of that, a Demigod from the Long Clan had brought men and wiped out one of the Li Clan’s cities. The clan head of the Li Clan, Li Feiyu, flew into a rage and brought a group of Demigods personally to retaliate. He eliminated the Demigod of the Long Clan and went to the Long Clan to ask for an explanation.

The negotiations were originally going well. However, for some reason, the negotiations broke down; and both sides started fighting it out in Long City. The Long Clan frantically sought the aid of the She Clan. In the end, a few Demigods from the She Clan arrived, and then—for no good reason—also started to wage war against Li Feiyu.

This incident alarmed the Evil Thearch, the Buddha Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, and others. The Buddha Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, and the Night Empress personally teleported over and prevented the situation from deteriorating further. They also secretly started to investigate the cause of the matter. However, after much investigating, it appeared as if this incident was very straightforward—there were no signs of plots or schemes.

The only problem was that…

It appeared as if everyone had become more reckless. Once there was a slight disagreement, they had started to fight. Furthermore, Li Feiyu’s personality was more of calm while the She Clan’s Demigods were also elders. It was strange that they would have joined the fray when they were sent there to make peace.

The Buddha Thearch and company investigated for a very long time; ultimately, they could not find anything. Moreover, even before this matter had been concluded, other big and small skirmishes had arisen again across the continent. The Buddha Thearch and company had no choice but to teleport and leave.

At the same time—when numerous battles were going on in the continent, the Umbra Continent west of the East Imperial Continent also suddenly waged war on the Pegasus Continent. Furthermore, six continents south of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea also started to wage war among each other. A similar thing also happened in a few continents north of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea.

In an instant, the entire Stellarsky Domain was in chaos. The Buddha Thearch and company became firefighters; they were scrambling all around trying to mediate conflicts and investigate to find out who the mastermind was. Everyone in the Stellarsky Domain was fearful, with rumors flying about.

“When the Mystic Divine Palace appears, calamity will befall the continent; the Stellarsky Domain will be destroyed!”

This was the biggest rumor being spread; furthermore, this rumor seemed to have originated from the Mystic Thearch’s mouth; many people could not help it but believe in it. Even many disciples from the Nine Thearch Clans believed in it. This sentence had been recorded inside the Nine Thearch Clans’ records.

After Jiang Yi was in seclusion for a month, he came out as well!

A black-robed man had secretly come outside the Mystic Divine Palace and sent in two paintings and a letter. After that, he had attacked the Mystic Divine Palace once and immediately consumed poison and committed suicide outside the Mystic Divine Palace.

The paintings were of Qian Gui and Zhan Yiming. A few words were written in the letter: if he wanted to save his friends, he had to head to Evil Thearch City immediately. If he wasn’t there in half a month, heads would roll.

After receiving the letter, Jiang Yi had gone straight to Buddha Mountain. However, the Buddha Thearch had gone to the Umbra Continent; the Buddha Emperor had also been activated. Jiang Yi could only look for Yi Chan. However, both Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing immediately prevented him from going to Evil Thearch City.

Yi Chan looked at him seriously and said, “Jiang Yi, this is obviously murdering a person with a borrowed knife. If you really went to Evil Thearch City and caused a commotion, wouldn’t you have fallen for the mastermind’s ploy?”

Yin Ruobing held on to Jiang Yi and persuaded him, saying, “Jiang Yi, you have to think twice. Perhaps you could send a message to the Buddha Thearch and wait for him to come back first?”

“I cannot wait anymore!”

Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed, “I know this is a trap but no matter what, I have to head to Evil Thearch City. Since the mastermind had shown himself, I have to go and meet him. If not, how am I to save my family and friends? Rest assured… I will not be reckless!”

Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing rolled their eyes at the same time. Jiang Yi? Not being reckless? Would he still be Jiang Yi? The two of them exchanged glances and knew they could not stop Jiang Yi. They said unanimously, “If you want to go, you can; but you must bring us.”

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Yi did not reject that idea. He also knew that he was more reckless. With the two of them by his side to advise him and plan with him, that would be better. He brought the two of them and walked out of Buddha Mountain. Yi Chan also sent a message to the elders of the Yi Clan to ask them to inform the Buddha Thearch of what had happened. She then followed Jiang Yi into the Mystic Divine Palace as the palace used Heaven Evasion and left.

The Buddha Region was in the northeast of the continent; the Evil Thearch City was in the west. Going by the Mystic Thearch Palace’s Heaven Evasion speed, the journey would take more than ten days!

The enemy had calculated the timing very precisely; they probably had planned this long ahead of time. It was very likely that this visit to the Evil Thearch City was a trap. However, Jiang Yi did not have a choice. Qian Gui was Qian Wanguan’s dad while Zhan Yiming was Zhan Wushuang’s dad; Jiang Yi was indebted to both of them. Furthermore, if he didn’t find out who the mastermind was, he would not know how to save Jiang Yunhai and the rest.

After Jiang Yi and company had left, one of the Yi Clan elders immediately opened a message transmitting secret formation and was prepared to transmit a message to the Buddha Thearch, to ask him to head to Evil Thearch City immediately. After all, Jiang Yi was on the move; and something might go wrong. Jiang Yi was an unlucky star; wherever he went, there was trouble!

“What?”

However, a deaconess came over and reported that the transmission had failed. The few elders of the Yi Clan were momentarily stunned to the core. They personally went to the message transmitting secret formation and found out that while the secret formation could be activated easily on this end, the Buddha Thearch could not receive anything on his end.

“Could something have happened to the clan head?”

The Buddha Thearch had gone to the Umbra Continent. Although the distance was vast, the Yi Clan’s message transmitting secret formation was formidable. How could it be that the transmission could not go through? The only explanation was that something had gone wrong at the Buddha Thearch’s end. He was either not in the Umbra Continent at all or inside some mystic realm where transmissions could not pass through.

“Could it be a huge calamity is really about to befall us?”

The few Yi Clan elders walked out of the message transmitting secret formation and looked at the darkened sky to the west. They were filled with unease; it felt as if a really ferocious thunderstorm was coming, and the whole Stellarsky Domain was going to be destroyed!
