Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-1483

When Jiang Yi woke up, he found out he was already in the Blue Eagle Mountain; Poison Spirit, Black Deity, Xiao Leng, and others were all beside him. Di Ling'er was present as well. However, after Di Ling'er saw that Jiang Yi had awoken, she smiled and left.

Mo Lingqiu and company were no longer around. Only Mo Shangxing was still following orders to protect Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi saw the Black Deity and asked slightly perplexed, "Black Deity, why have you come to the Blue Eagle Mountain?"

After Jiang Yi had woken up, he had used his divine senses to scan the surroundings and found himself in a castle in the Blue Eagle Mountain, hence his question. The Black Deity's cool and ruthless face changed a little as he answered, "Young Master, Xiao Prefecture Lord had asked us to come over; he said that this Blue Eagle Mountain is now our home; he is currently arranging for his men to leave."

"En?"

Jiang Yi's brows knotted as he looked at Xiao Leng and asked, "What has happened?"

"My Lord, you are now the Blue Eagle Prefecture Lord! The Sovereign has awarded the Blue Eagle Prefecture to you!"

Xiao Leng said respectfully as he reiterated the Earth Emanations Sovereign's orders once again. Since the Blue Eagle Prefecture was now Jiang Yi's, Xiao Hong naturally had to move his people away from the Blue Eagle Mountain.

"Such willfulness!"

Jiang Yi said sternly as he continued, "Ask Xiao Hong to come in!"

Xiao Leng saw that Jiang Yi had been angered as he swiftly bolted outside to invite Xiao Hong in. Xiao Hong came in with all smiles as he said, "Congratulations, Brother Jiang! You are the first person in the Earth Emanations Domain who has been awarded a piece of territory; the Sovereign and Lord Ye Sheng have given you the title of Battle God Jiang Yi. This is an honor that countless formidable martial artists in the Earth Emanations Domain are envious and jealous about!"

Xiao Hong's expression was very genuine; he did not feel any disgruntlement at all that Jiang Yi had taken over him as the Prefecture Lord. Jiang Yi waited for Xiao Hong to finish speaking as he sat down and asked Xiao Hong, "Old Xiao, did they give you any compensation?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Hong nodded and said, "The Sovereign has asked me to be the Prefecture Lord of the Heavenly Mountain Prefecture. However, I rejected that offer. I intend to remain in Jiang Manor and be your subordinate. Brother Jiang, don't get me wrong; I am not staying to vie for power with you. It is just that I have grown used to this place. Hehe… also, I want to follow you from now on."

"Uh?"

Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback. Xiao Hong actually gave up being a Prefecture Lord? He was willing to be Jiang Yi's underling? If he stayed in the Jiang Manor, Xiao Hong was no longer going to be number-one; he had to obey Jiang Yi's wishes and commands.

"Old Xiao, have you decided?"

Jiang Yi asked seriously. Xiao Hong nodded very firmly, and Jiang Yi did not waste his breath anymore. He patted Xiao Hong on the shoulder and said, "In that case, please stay. Everything will be normal. The Blue Eagle Prefecture… my prefecture… from now on, you will be the Assistant Prefecture Lord. You will have the authority to manage the entire Prefecture. I do not like to take care of these things; your word will be mine in the future!"

"Many thanks, Prefecture Lord!"

Xiao Hong bowed and received his orders. He did not call Jiang Yi 'Brother Jiang' anymore but called him 'Prefecture Lord' as a sign of respect. Xiao Hong also breathed in relief internally. His hopes in Jiang Yi had not been misplaced; from what Xiao Leng had reported back to him, Jiang Yi was a very righteous and upright person. Xiao Hong's decision to stay was the right one.

Jiang Yi motioned as he said, "Brother Xiao, if there are no outsiders around, you can just call me Jiang Yi; Xiao Leng knows my character. Also, your clansmen do not have to move. They can stay here. If you feel that my presence might make things difficult, I will return to the Divine Eagle City."

"Don't do it!"

Xiao Hong was frightened as he cupped his hands and said, "Prefecture Lord, you are now the master of this place; if you don't live here, we will not dare to stay either. How would things be difficult or inconvenient? I was just afraid you would be inconvenienced."

Jiang Yi gestured and replied, "Then, it's settled! Go make arrangements. Give the Divine Eagle City to Old Liu and transfer He Wei here together with Gu Mu. The two of them will be in charge of my internal affairs. As for Black Deity, you should not bother with anything else but cultivate! Also, please arrange suitable accommodations for Poison Spirit and Lord Mo!"

"Rest assured, Prefecture Lord! Please rest well. I will go and make the arrangements now."

Xiao Hong brought the group out as peace and quiet returned to the room. Jiang Yi rested on his bed as he closed his eyes and massaged his temple. With regard to the Earth Emanations Sovereign's designation, Jiang Yi was not that surprised and didn't care much.

It was but a prefecture; to the Earth Emanations Sovereign, that wasn't considered much. After all, Jiang Yi had saved his life!

Jiang Yi never bothered much with power and status; if he did not have strength, he would be facing his death ten years from now. Whether he owned a territory or not was secondary. If he had enough strength, even a prefecture would be inconsequential.

A battle with the Green Eagle King ten years later!

This was not a joke; if not, Jiang Yi would not have repeated it twice. He was being serious. He had forced himself into a path of hardship, to make himself stronger and be the sole arbitrator of his own life. He had had enough of pain, suffering, restrictions, and humiliation. If he could not live as he pleased, he would rather die!

He had originally wanted to return to the Stellarsky Domain once. However, he dispelled that notion now. Jiang Xiaonu's departure had hurt him deeply. It had stirred up a force within him that was stimulating his indomitable fighting spirit. He did not want this feeling to go away if he went back to the comfortable and pleasant Stellarsky Domain!

He had forced himself onto this bitter path; if he could not succeed, he would die for this cause. After all, the Stellarsky Domain was now safe while Su Ruoxue, Yi Chan, and the rest would definitely ascend smoothly. Once they ascended, Mo Lingqiu would immediately make arrangements to protect them.

Jiang Yi did not have any more worries or concerns; he could now give his all and even die trying.

Yi Piaopiao was still imprisoned at the foot of the Saint Spirit Mountain while Jiang Xiaonu had been brought back to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm; her memories could possibly be sealed once again. The Phantom King and Green Eagle King were two tall peaks that were pressing down on him; Jiang Yi had to grit his teeth and try his best to topple these two peaks or even… trample them underfoot!

"The Demon-Buster Army!"

Jiang Yi's eyes revealed his determination. He was definitely going to join the Demon-Buster Army. He wanted to get a limitless amount of battle merits; he wanted to use the battle merits to get unlimited resources to increase his battle prowess.

Ten years could be said to be long but could be considered rather short as well. Ten years later, he had to stomp on the Green Eagle King and prove to him that people who ascended were not necessarily low-life and useless people. He was definitely compatible enough for Jiang Xiaonu!

"Someone, come!"

Jiang Yi shouted. Poison Spirit floated in like a ghost as Jiang Yi looked at him and said, "Go and find Di Ling'er. Ask her to tell the General Pavilion Lord that I have decided to join the Demon-Buster Army."

"The Demon-Buster Army?"

Poison Spirit was slightly shocked. However, seeing the look in Jiang Yi's eyes, Poison Spirit did not dare to dissuade Jiang Yi as he turned to go and look for Di Ling'er.

Poison Spirit had just left when Mo Shangxing floated into the room. Mo Shangxing said worriedly, "Jiang Yi, it might be too soon for you to join the Demon-Buster Army. The missions would be very dangerous and involve entering all sorts of terrifying ancient, archaic mystic realms. The death rate is also very high…"

Jiang Yi motioned as he said emphatically, "I have already decided!"

"Alright then!"

Mo Shangxing did not speak anymore as he retreated while Jiang Yi waited silently in the room. One hour later, Poison Spirit brought Di Ling'er and entered the room. Di Ling'er was just about to curtsy and greet Jiang Yi when he hurriedly gestured and said, "Young Mistress Ling'er, we are friends; there is no need for formalities."

Di Ling'er was now the Blue Eagle Prefecture Demon-Killing Pavilion Branch Lord; her rank was lower than Jiang Yi's. Di Ling'er smiled slightly as she sat in a chair at the side and said, "I had sent a message to my grandfather. He instructed you to head to the Earth Emanations City once your wounds have healed. He will recommend you to join the Demon-Buster Army.

"Furthermore… I have a third uncle who is a commander in the Demon-Buster Army; Third Uncle will look after you. Also, I had forgotten to mention something. Due to you getting the first place in the Wen Fight and your accolades during this demon-cleansing operation, Assistant Pavilion Lord Ye Sheng has awarded you a one-time free entry to the Primitive Mystic Realm."

"Many thanks, Young Mistress Ling'er!"

Jiang Yi nodded slightly as he gathered his thoughts. He decided to recuperate for a few days and after settling affairs in the Jiang Manor, he would depart for the Earth Emanations City to join the Demon-Buster Army.

"Ten years!"

Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly burned with passion and determination as he murmured, "Green Eagle King, wait for me! Ten years later, I will definitely head to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm. I will trample on you!"
