Chapter 1540: Jiang Yi… is not coming back!

The Earth Emanations Domain, Nameless Island!

Ever since Jiang Yi entered the Purgatory Mystic Realm, the Earth Emanations Sovereign had been sitting in front of his bamboo hut. He didn’t drink his tea but held onto his cup with one hand as his eyes were closed; he maintained this position. Mo Lingqiu—who was standing next to the Earth Emanations Sovereign—did not receive any instructions and didn’t dare to leave. He stood there to accompany the Earth Emanations Sovereign.

In a blink of an eye, the three-day period was about to come to an end when the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s eyes finally opened. He placed his cup down on the table, turned, looked at Mo Lingqiu, and asked, “How long has passed?”

Mo Lingqiu replied respectfully, “Almost three days!”

“En.”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign nodded as his hand gestured gently. He said, “Go to the Demon-Buster Valley and then head to the Purgatory Mystic Realm from there. See if that lad had managed to come out alive or not.”

“Alright!”

Mo Lingqiu bowed and left as he immediately flew to the Earth Emanations Castle and teleported to the Demon-Buster Valley.

Buzz!

Just as Mo Lingqiu’s figure had just appeared in one of the Demon-Buster Valley Teleportation Formations, another Teleportation Formation there lit up at the same time. After Mo Lingqiu walked out of his Teleportation Formation, another figure materialized. Mo Lingqiu glanced over as his mouth twitched. He cupped his hands, smiled, and said, “Brother Yi Tu, you have come as well?”

Yi Tu was expressionless as he also cupped his hands and said, “I am here to see if that lad is dead or not. If he is dead, at least I can send a message to inform my sister.”

“Keke!”

Mo Lingqiu did not say anything else as the two of them stood there, waiting. From afar, a figure shot forward towards them. As the two looked over, their expressions became warm. It was one of the commanders in the Demon-Buster Valley. Although this person’s rank wasn’t high, his status was rather special: he was Heavenly King Wu’s son.

“You two have come?”

Heavenly King Wu’s son Wu Gang was an old acquaintance of Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu. He also didn’t stand on formalities as he pointed at a Teleportation Formation in the distance and said, “Will the two of you be waiting here or heading to the Purgatory Mystic Realm to take a look?”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Mo Lingqiu thought for a while and replied. Wu Gang brought the duo as they headed straight for that Teleportation Formation. When they were nearing it, a command token appeared in Wu Gang’s hand as he said, “Commander-in-chief Wu has ordered that since the three-day period is over, this Teleportation Formation can now be activated.”

This Teleportation Formation had been sealed ever since Jiang Yi and Heavenly King Long had entered. It had been sealed to prevent anyone from going to rescue Jiang Yi. Since the three-day period was about to be over—regardless of whether Jiang Yi was alive or not, this Teleportation Formation could now be activated.

Swish! Swish!

The few soldiers guarding this Teleportation Formation immediately used special techniques and shot out streams of shooting stars. The dim Teleportation Formation immediately started to shine brightly. Just at this moment, a few figures shot out from one of the castles. Qi Qingchen, Di Ling’er, Poison Spirit, Yi Buhui, and Mo Huaisang had all come together.

“Commander Wu, could you bring us over to take a look as well?”

Qi Qingchen arrived first as she made her request gently. Although she didn’t reveal much emotion on her face, the worry deep within her eyes was obvious. Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu looked at the group and didn’t say anything. Wu Gang was even more indifferent. Whether the Teleportation Formation teleported one person or seven or eight people, it was all the same. Since Qi Qingchen had made a request, he had to give her this face.

Once Wu Gang’s assent was obtained, everyone entered the Teleportation Formation as Wu Gang gave the order to teleport. Very quickly, a light beamed into the skies as everyone disappeared within the Teleportation Formation.

“Wow!”

Although the Demon-Buster Valley seemed very peaceful—the moment this teleportation formation lit up, commotions could be heard from countless castles. All the young masters from the powerful factions in the Demon-Buster Valley were all very concerned with Jiang Yi and this matter. The three-day period was about to be over while Wu Gang had brought a group of men to receive Jiang Yi. Now, it all depended on whether Jiang Yi could come back alive or not.

Regarding Jiang Yi…!

Besides a small minority in the Demon-Buster Valley, everyone else hated him immensely. This was especially so for the You Clan, Bai Clan, and Qiu Clan members. If Jiang Yi managed to come back alive successfully, You Tianni would have become a cripple for nothing while the You Clan, Bai Clan, and Qiu Clan disciples would have died for nothing. Furthermore, from now on, all the young masters besides the Little Eagle King in the Demon-Buster Valley would be suppressed by Jiang Yi. Hence, everyone naturally hoped that Jiang Yi would die in the Purgatory Mystic Realm, that he would never come back.

…

Buzz!

The Teleportation Formation on that tall mountain in the Purgatory Mystic Realm lit up. Heavenly King Long and the guardian of this mystic realm, who were both sitting cross-legged near the Teleportation Formation, did not open their eyes. Even after Wu Gang and company materialized in the Teleportation Formation, the two elders still sat cross-legged like monks and didn’t move at all.

“Greetings to Lord He, greetings to Commander-in-chief Long!”

After Wu Gang and company walked out of the Teleportation Formation, they immediately walked in front of the two elders and paid their respects. The guardian was just like a wooden statue and ignored them. Heavenly King Long, however, opened his eyes and asked indifferently, “You guys have come; is it time yet?”

Wu Gang calculated, nodded, and said, “We are left with two hours.”

“Let’s wait then.”

Heavenly King Long replied nonchalantly as he closed his eyes and continued to sit cross-legged. Everyone’s gaze hurriedly looked in all directions. Qi Qingchen turned to look to the south. Her Majesty Father had told Jiang Yi that if he wanted to live, he had to find that Divine Tree to the south.

As time passed, Qi Qingchen and company grew more and more anxious as they looked more and more serious. If Jiang Yi had survived, he ought to have returned to the vicinity by now, so that he could be teleported back immediately once the time was up. Now, it was almost time; and yet there was dead silence everywhere. There wasn’t any movement at all.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter!

When the time finally came, tears started to fall from Di Ling’er’s face. Poison Spirit clenched his fists together while Mo Lingqiu’s face became twisted with agony. Mo Huaisang’s expression was also very complicated. Yi Tu closed his eyes; he didn’t want everyone to see his helplessness and agony.

“He didn’t come back? Jiang Yi, could you actually have died here in the Purgatory Mystic Realm? How could you die? If you died, what would my little aunt do?”

Yi Buhui lowered his head as he clenched his fists and started to murmur to himself. He couldn’t imagine—if this news traveled to Yi Piaopiao’s ears, what would her expression be? What would she do if she became reckless?

“How could you not come back? Didn’t you say that you would definitely return?”

Qi Qingchen’s beautiful eyes were filled with despair and disappointment. The three-day period was over. The Purgatory Mystic Realm was such a terrifying place; no one wanted to stay here a moment longer unless they had to, especially not someone of Jiang Yi’s level of attainment. The only explanation was… Jiang Yi was not coming back; he was staying here permanently in the Purgatory Mystic Realm.

The mountain peak was dead silent. No one said a word. Only Di Ling’er’s tears continued to drop. No one left as everyone continued to wait quietly, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Two hours, four hours… six hours!

The surroundings were still quiet; it was frighteningly silent. Heavenly King Long suddenly opened his eyes as he quietly walked to the Teleportation Formation and said nothing as he teleported away.

Mo Lingqiu and company still had not given up hope. They continued to wait for a full three Lower-Domain days. Then, Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu exchanged a glance as the two sighed heavily and entered the Teleportation Formation as well.

“Huaisang, Ling’er, you guys should come with us. Let’s go back…”

Mo Lingqiu beckoned as Mo Huaisang obeyed and entered the Teleportation Formation. However, no one else moved. Yi Tu then spoke as well, “Buhui, come in!”

“Huuu!”

Yi Buhui breathed in deeply a few times as he looked about a few times, gritted his teeth, and entered the Teleportation Formation. Mo Lingqiu saw that Di Ling’er didn’t move as with a flash he moved and knocked her unconscious, throwing her to Mo Huaisang.

He then turned to Qi Qingchen and Poison Spirit, hesitated for a while as he decided to speak, “Young Mistress Qingchen, Poison Spirit, let’s go. Jiang Yi… is not coming back!”
