Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-377

Jiang Yi was brought to a luxurious palace within the inner palace by Yun Fei while Yun Xian and He Lao were following behind. Along the way there, many palace maids and eunuchs followed beside them. As Jiang Yi was looking at the cautious and timidly flattering smiles from those palace maids and eunuchs, it caused him to be unsure whether he should be crying or laughing.

It was the same royal palace, but last night, he and He Lao had to sneak in while being on the edge and having their hearts risen to their throats. Yet, in just a single night, the situation had totally reversed. At this very moment, he was like a retired emperor, walking around the royal palace swaggeringly.

Strength!

At this moment, the thirst he had for strength became even more resolute. This world was just so cruel. If one wished for more, one had to keep on striving for it—constantly getting stronger and stronger!

As long as one was able to stand proud above all, one would be this world’s dictator.

“Marshal…”

After entering the palace, Yun Fei called out in a somewhat awkward manner. Jiang Yi smiled, “Yun Fei, you can just call me Jiang Yi. We are friends. In the future, you are going to be my sister-in-law. There’s not a need for you to address me as Marshal.”

Yun Fei’s charming face blushed and got even more embarrassed. She beckoned the slaves to step down before asking, “Is… is he doing well?”

“Not sure!”

Jiang Yi smiled. “The day Ruoxue had ascended the throne, Brother Wushuang came looking for me. He wanted my help to get rid of Yun Lu, helping your younger brother ascend to the Crown Prince position. You should have gotten the news on the battle in the Netherworld Forest, right? It was planned by Wushuang himself; however, Yun Lu managed to escape ultimately. Yun Lu and I both entered the Witch God forbidden ground. Finally, he got killed by me; and I obtained the inheritance of the Witch God!

“After I came out, I received news saying the Witch Empress wished to harm you. Therefore, I made haste for several nights. Brother Wushuang should have yet to receive information about what happened here. He must be anxious to the point of acting like a cat on a hot tin roof? Hahaha!”

“Oh my. He wouldn’t do something foolish to the point of killing his way here with his people, right?”

The moment Yun Fei heard of this, she got somewhat anxious. He Lao walked out hastily and spoke, “Princess, need not be worried. On the journey to the imperial palace, I had got someone to send a letter to Young Clan Head.”

After Yun Xian came in, he didn’t dare speak a word. However, he kept on gazing at Jiang Yi in an adoration gaze. He and Jiang Yi were about the same age, but he felt that Jiang Yi came from a different world compared to from where he did.

He inhaled in deeply as he bowed with clasped hands before speaking sincerely, “Yun Xian thanks Marshal’s benevolence. If there’s ever a chance for me to ascend the throne, I will certainly not disappoint Marshal.”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and replied, “Yun Xian, you need not act so courteous. In the future, just address me as Jiang Yi. Your sister and I are friends. I’m also the brother of your future brother-in-law. We could be counted as a family. Haha.”

Yun Fei’s pretty face turned into a red apple again. Yun Xian wasn’t as punctilious and instinctively acted a lot more passionately to Jiang Yi. In this instant, the atmosphere in the palace became harmonious and comfortable.

After staying in the royal palace for a day—during the lunch and dinner, the king would lead his group of officials to ceremoniously entertain Jiang Yi. The atmosphere in the banquet was also extremely harmonious. Those people of status in Heaven Mystics Kingdom had also whole-heartedly accepted Jiang Yi as they tried to please and rope him in.

Jiang Yi caused havoc in the Mystic Heaven City and had killed a lot of experts from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom this time. He even killed the Witch Empress. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about this as they exchange toasts and treated Jiang Yi enthusiastically like a real brother, causing him to be unsure of how to respond.

The next day, Jiang Yi set off on a journey to return to the Great Xia Kingdom. This time, there wasn’t a need for him to ride the Zouwu beast back. Yun Qingtian had personally ordered a general to lead a hundred Soul Travel Realm experts to ride aerial spirit beasts, escorting Jiang Yi back. Yun Qingtian had even led his group of officials to bid farewell to Jiang Yi personally.

The aerial spirit beast he rode was a tier-three beast named Six-Winged Silver Dragon. It was a spirit beast that the Heaven Mystics Kingdom had secretly raised. Its attack might be weak, but its flying speed was still passable. The main thing was that it was a lot more comfortable and satisfying when riding this beast, compared to using the Zouwu beast and traveling underground all day long.

…

The incident of Jiang Yi creating havoc in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom circulated out to the world very quickly. However, because Yun Qingtian had sealed off the news of this under the orders of Jiang Yi, the information being circulated out was somewhat inaccurate.

However, there were still some things that remain true. Like Jiang Yi killing off a lot of people in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and even eliminating the Witch Empress publicly. Finally, even Grandma Silver Flower and the king had made an appearance while a formidable demon king appeared within the city. However, they didn’t fight; and nothing happened. At this very moment, Jiang Yi was even under the protection of the experts from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom while he flew his way to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Jiang Yi’s name had caused a sensation in the world again. His ‘God of Pestilence’ nickname had also grown more resounding as wherever he went, there would be trouble. Furthermore, those troubles weren’t minor at all. The incident that happened in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom was just too mysterious. Why didn’t Grandma Silver Flower kill Jiang Yi? On the contrary, she even sent him back from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom respectfully. Where did the terrifying demon king come from? And ultimately, where did it go?

There were a lot of scouts in the Mystic Heaven City that were from various kingdoms and factions. Because the city had imposed martial law and was sealed off, these scouts weren’t able to get out. In addition—in order to seal this news, Yun Qingtian had sent people to purge off these scouts. Therefore, a lot of truth was not being circulated out.

Even so—!

There were still a lot of people who had managed to speculate certain facts. For example, Jiang Yi possessed a Green Clear Vase or that unique shape of Jiang Yi’s Yazi Beast allowed them to associate him with some things very easily.

Those experts who had managed to guess the truth had no choice but to re-examine Jiang Yi. All the influential factions had also started moving in secrecy as they searched for countermeasures. Three years might be a short time. However… to Jiang Yi, it seemed to be very long? If he was to continue developing, all the other influential factions might be suppressed by him three years later!

Jiang Yi ignored what was happening in the outside world and sat comfortably on the Six-Winged Silver Dragon that could only be ridden by the king as he flew directly to the Summer Rain City. Because they were flying in a straight line without anyone bothering them, Jiang Yi rarely sought for a city to spend the night. In merely half-a-month time, the Summer Rain City slowly came into his view.

Roar! Roar!

More than 20 large silver dragons spiraled around the sky. Ultimately, they descended towards the plaza in the royal palace. The plaza was filled with people as Su Ruoxue had brought along the Great Xia Kingdom’s civil and military officials as well as Zhang Wushuang and Qian Wanguan to personally welcome Jiang Yi.

“Ruoxue!”

Jiang Yi was wearing a green embroidered robe as he stood above a silver dragon. His red long hair fluttered high up in the sky as his robe danced in the wind.

He disregarded everyone else and did not even look towards Zhan Wushuang or Qian Wanguan. His eyes met with Su Ruoxue from far away. His body leaped up abruptly as he descended before Su Ruoxue gradually. His actions were elegant like an immortal from heaven.

“Welcome, Lord Regent!”

Those officials behind Su Ruoxue knelt down on one knee as they yelled out in respect. Immediately after, all the royal guards surrounding them knelt down as well. After that, those soldiers and citizens in the plaza also knelt down, one after another. Their faces were all filled with respect and zealotry.

They sincerely respected Jiang Yi as they welcomed their regent, their king!

Jiang Yi descended to the ground as he looked towards Su Ruoxue who had clearly gotten a lot thinner. His face was filled with guilt as he smiled faintly. “Ruoxue, I’m back. I must have worried you!”

Su Ruoxue was still unperturbed a moment ago. However—after Jiang Yi spoke, she was no longer able to suppress her inner feelings and did something that lacked manners.

She actually darted towards Jiang Yi, throwing herself into Jiang Yi’s embrace in front of all the officials and citizens. She hugged him tightly as her beautiful face was filled with tears. She whimpered, “Jiang Yi, let’s get married! Ruoxue wants to give birth to your child—to many children. This way—even if you aren’t by my side, Ruoxue will still be able to live on…”

“Married?”

When Jiang Yi felt the innermost sincere feelings and that helpless indecisiveness from the lady within his embrace, Jiang Yi’s felt even guiltier at heart. He nodded his head heavily and replied, “Sure. Let’s get married! Ruoxue, I want to give you the most majestic wedding!”
