Chapter 225: Jiang Yi Had Gone Crazy Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“No hope? Hahahaha…”

Jiang Yi suddenly laughed out hysterically. He already had a bad impression of the Divine Martial Kingdom, but now, it became utter hatred.

A kingdom actually broke their promise to him and to the world. It was understandable if Xia Tingwei didn’t know that Jiang Yi wanted the Soul-Subduing Herb, but he knew that Jiang Yi participated in the Kingdom War just for the Soul-Subduing Herb and risked his life in it. Ultimately, because of some personal reason—because of his son’s request, Xia Tingwei took out the Soul-Subduing Herb? Did he even feel shame?

A stalk of Soul-Subduing Herb might not mean anything in the betrothal gifts, but it was more important to Jiang Yi than the Dragon Fang General title, than the general residence… than the millions of purple gold.

Didn’t Xia Tingwei know what kind of person Xia Tian was? As the King, didn’t he know about the grievances between Jiang Yi and Xia Tian? Since Xia Tian could attempt to kill him in the Kingdom War, why couldn’t he kill members from the royal clan?

The King could turn his back on the world, but the world couldn’t turn their backs on him?

Jiang Yi finally understood the tyrannical way of thoughts that these great aristocratic clans and the royal clan had. Their descendants could casually kill people and treat them as commoners. If these commoners resisted and harmed their people, they would be enraged like a lion: unveiling their masks, revealing their malevolent fangs, and tearing everything apart.

“Since you are not benevolent, then don’t blame me for serving injustice!”

Jiang Yi mumbled using a voice that only he could hear and turned to ask Qian Gui, “Uncle, apart from the royal clan’s Soul-Subduing Herb, there is any other place I can find one?”

“Currently none!”

Qian Gui shook his head and replied, “Wanguan has mentioned this matter to me, and I have personally given my orders to check all the six vassal states, but there isn’t any information about the Soul-Subduing Herb. Perhaps there might be one in the Azure Dragon Empire’s warehouse, but… this is a nourishing spirit herb for the soul spirit. You should know that Princess Ling Xue mainly cultivates the soul spirit; she would have probably consumed it even if they had one.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Jiang Yi eyes quickly turned determined as he stood up and bowed to Qian Gui, speaking in a solemn tone, “Uncle, I want to return to the college for a period of time. I need your help to arrange some things in the royal capital.”

“En?”

Qian Gui’s chubby cheeks squeezed around his tiny eyes, revealing a trace of glitter as he spoke seriously, “Nephew, if you cannot endure such a small matter, you will not be able to achieve great things in the future. For your future’s sake, don’t let your emotions affect your decision. The title of Dragon Fang General is a practical general that holds authority. A wave is surging under the clouds, and there might be a war erupting soon. After you seclude yourself and cultivate for another eight or ten years, you can lead the army into battle and achieve merits that would define your life. You might even be titled a liege lord or a minister.”

“I thank Uncle for his advice!”

Jiang Yi spoke firmly, “I want to return to the college and look for Master Liao first to see if there are any other things that could replace the Soul-Subduing Herb. I will cultivate in the college for a period of time, and when I am stronger, I will come back to the royal capital to take over this position as the Dragon Fang General. I do not know if this will give Uncle any trouble…”

Qian Gui took a sip of tea and waved his hand. “There wouldn’t be any trouble. You have obtained the celestial stone, and it is understandable that you want to refine it to increase your strength. I will help you explain to His Majesty’s side and list your name at the military side first. Nephew, go back quick and return quickly as well.”

“Then Uncle, I will take my leave first. I will visit you at your residence the next time.”

Jiang Yi bowed again, and after Qian Gui nodded, he leaped off the carriage and headed straight for the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. He took steady steps as he traveled with a sword-like spine, emitting a determined aura from his body.

“Boss, how was it?”

Back at the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang were waiting for his return expectedly. The two of them invited Jiang Yi back in before Qian Wanguan immediately asked nervously.

Jiang Yi appeared to be calm and didn’t have any trace of excitement or anger. He lifted his cup of tea and replied, “Nothing much. I met with Jiang Bieli and completely severed our ties. I was bestowed with the title of Dragon Fang General and have ten thousand soldiers under my command. I even have a general’s residence and maidservants…”

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang exchanged eye contact and felt something was wrong. The former had some flickers in his eyes before he asked with a solemn tone, “What about the Soul-Subduing Herb?”

Jiang Yi grinned and smiled splendidly while speaking calmly, “It is gone; it has been reallocated by Xia Wuhui.”

“Huh…”

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang let out a gasp and finally understood why Jiang Yi had such an expression. He was already infuriated to the limit, and he was just like the calm before the storm. The more Jiang Yi behaved like this, the more frightened they felt.

When Jiang Yi went crazy, even Qian Wanguan felt afraid… because he was fearless!

“Boss, don’t be in a hurry first. There is always another way. I will go out for a moment first…”

Qian Wanguan stood up quickly and obviously went to check on the situation. Zhan Wushuang looked at Jiang Yi who hung his head low and let out a sigh, “Jiang Yi, don’t be discouraged. Didn’t you tell Yun Fei that heaven will always leave a road? The road to the future is a long one, but as long as we work hard, we will be able to overcome everything.”

“I am not discouraged. Wushuang, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Jiang Yi smiled, which caused Zhan Wushuang’s heart to feel even more uneasy.

One hour later, Qian Wanguan returned and had this grave expression. Before he even said anything, Jiang Yi immediately asked, “Qian Wanguan, immediately send someone to ask Master Liao if the Soul-Subduing Herb can be replaced? Any price is fine, and ask someone with an esteemed status from your clan to go.”

“That is easy to settle! My clan has a few mentors in the college, and Master Liao knows they are from our clan.” Qian Wanguan nodded and asked, “Boss, you told my father that you wish to return to the college?”

“That’s right!”

Jiang Yi nodded and confirmed, “I don’t feel comfortable staying in the royal capital. I want to return and refine the celestial stone.”

“Oh!”

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang were relieved. Jiang Bieli was in the royal capital, and Xia Wuhui and Su Ruoxue’s wedding was going to be held in the royal capital, which were why Jiang Yi didn’t feel comfortable staying here. It would be rather beneficial for him to go back and seclude himself for a period of time.

When Qian Wanguan was about to go out and pass the message to a mentor in the college, Jiang Yi spoke again, “That’s right, Wanguan! My Silver-Moon Demon Wolf is dead. Help me find another two to three pieces of spirit beast talisman from the college. On the way back, I will visit Mt. Thirty Thousand to get a good spirit beast.”

“This is simple!”

Qian Wanguan nodded. Jiang Yi was already a Prodigy Cadet of the Mt. Spirit Beast College, and even with himself, Jiang Yi could also get it easily.

Once everything was arranged, Jiang Yi entered his room and continued to decipher the third rank of the Nameless Divine Art. Principal Qi also passed down the message that they would be setting off for the college tomorrow. The cadets could follow the college’s party or stay in the royal capital.

Zhan Wushuang was concerned for Yun Fei; hence, he naturally wasn’t going back to the college. He could make use of the scout in the royal capital to take note of the situation in Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Qian Wanguan was just idling away, but he was concerned about Jiang Yi; hence, he decided to return to the college with Jiang Yi.

The next day, the college’s party set off. Over a dozen carriages began to move rapidly towards the south. With Qian Gui helping, Jiang Yi naturally didn’t have any worries for the affairs in the royal capital. He rode in the carriage peacefully with Qian Wanguan, spending the whole day comprehending the Nameless Divine Art.

On the third day—when the spirit beast talisman arrived, the information from Qian Clan arrived at the same time. Master Liao replied with clear instructions that the Thousand-year-old Wolfberry Ginseng could be swapped with a hundred-year one or even go without it! The Tri-Petal Septuple Leaves and the Soul-Subduing Herb was an absolute must, especially the Soul-Subduing Herb. Without the Soul-Subduing Herb, he couldn’t guarantee the safety of Jiang Xiaonu’s soul spirit.

When Jiang Yi heard this news, he got even quieter. He would spend the entire day in meditation and trying to comprehend this third rank of the Nameless Divine Art, which was quite the task. After trying to comprehend it for such a long period of time, he actually gained nothing.

Fourth day!

The college’s group spent the night in a small city of the Divine Martial Kingdom, and when dawn came, Qian Wanguan woke up and routinely went to wake Jiang Yi. He realized that Jiang Yi’s room was empty, and there was only a message slip.

“Wanguan, do not try to find to any news about me. If I manage to survive this time, we will drink merrily in the future and travel under the heavens. If I perish, I will still acknowledge you as a brother in my next life—Jiang Yi!”

After reading the message slip, Qian Wanguan’s chubby body shuddered. The thing that worried him the most had finally happened.

Jiang Yi had gone crazy!
