Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-423

“There must be a lot of honey in such a big hive.”

In the center of the island, Jiang Yi saw a hive clinging to a giant tree trunk. The hive was even as large as a palace. Jiang Yi’s eyes were filled with excitement. Despite the warning in his heart, Jiang Yi ignored it. He had already explored the hive with his divine senses. Besides a wasp queen, there were no other Black Wasps.

This wasp queen was even weaker than a Black Wasp. There was no pressure at all. Jiang Yi was going to directly cut down the whole tree and throw it into the Universal Palace.

Dash!

His divine senses looked around. He was sure that the surroundings were quiet and peaceful… before he dashed over like a phantom fox. The Fire Dragon Sword abruptly shot out two fire dragons towards the tree trunk beneath the hive.

Boom!

The two fire dragons easily smashed the tree trunk at the bottom into powder. The giant old tree fell down with a loud crash. Jiang Yi swept his Fire Dragon Sword again and broke the trunk above the hive. He dashed towards the hive like lightning.

“Ji-Ji!”

The hive shattered. The wasp queen flew out and shot toxic stings at Jiang Yi continuously. However, its speed was clearly slower than the Black Wasp. The wasp queen’s cry alerted the Black Wasps in a distance. A group of Black Wasps flew back quickly.

“Die—!”

Jiang Yi twisted his body in the middle of the sky to avoid the toxic stings. He released a dao pattern attack from his hand in passing. Instantly, millions of fire dragons sprinted towards Jiang Yi. It felt like the aura could decimate the heaven and the earth. The yellow, glass-like eyes of the wasp queen were filled with horror. It hurried into retreating, squeaking repeatedly. However, it was too slow. How could it escape the attack of the small fire dragons that were all over the sky?

“Danger! Run!”

At this moment, the Yazi Beast behind Jiang Yi roared. The sense of fatal crisis rose in Jiang Yi’s heart again. His facial expression changed. Without any hesitation, his body was radiated with white light—he was going to instant-shift!

Boom!

A terrifying boom sounded, and the island suddenly shook. The ground in the center cracked. An ancient black vein shot out from it like an ancient beast’s tail. When this black vein came out, the space above the entire island vibrated, imploding all the small fire dragons.

Jiang Yi was just about to instant-shift but failed because of the space oscillation. That giant vein whipped down like lightning. It immediately entangled Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast without any extra effort.

Swish! Swish!

A huge flat ground at the island center burst. Rocks were flying all over the sky. Shockingly huge waves were set off around the island, overwhelming all the ships. Those Black Wasps rushed excitingly towards the Black Wasp Queen, squeaking non-stop.

“This, this…”

“What is this thing? Why does it have such terrible pressure and such horrifying speed?”

“Hmm? There’s a man at the center of the island… and a demonic beast? No… that demonic beast is Yazi Beast—Jiang Yi’s Yazi Beast! Jiang Yi has sneaked into the island?”

“Gosh, what is this black vein? It can even trap the Yazi Beast! Isn’t the Yazi Beast a peak-stage demon king? God… is the black vein the Demon Thearch’s tail?”

“Demon Thearch? Run quickly!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially those young masters and young mistresses. Still, some people recovered from their shock and ran away with their young masters and young mistresses.

Nobody knew what that black rattan was, but they knew that everyone would die if they didn’t run now. The Yazi Beast, which was at the peak stage of the demon king grade, couldn’t resist it. Except for the Demon Empress, who else in this world could stand a chance against the black vein?

“The Devil Star Vines are really powerful! Haha, Jiang Yi is doomed.”

On the east side of the sea, Ji Tingyu was in a yellow cape. She stood beside the Martial Arts Hall Elder, who was in a black robe, behind a shipwreck. A crystal ball on her hand flashed. A victory smile appeared on her lips.

The Martial Arts Hall Elder grabbed Ji Tingyu’s shoulder with one hand. He looked at the giant vein in the distance and nodded in approval. “Saint Lady is really astute and reckons accurately. I respect you for that. I’m afraid that Jiang Yi won’t know that the Black Wasp has always been a trap designed by Saint Lady, not until he dies.”

“Haha, let’s go. If he is tied up by the Devil Star Vines, even the Demon Empress can’t help him!”

There was no hint of arrogance on Ji Tingyu’s face. She smiled faintly as if she did something ordinary. Waving her hands, the Martial Arts Hall Elder took her to dive in the sea. Soon, they disappeared in the boundless sea.

Tsk-Tsk!

The giant veins in the center of the island quickly withdrew into the island, taking Jiang Yi and Yazi Beast with it. Only an incredibly-deep and ugly pit was left behind.

That’s right!

All of this was devised by Ji Tingyu. She deliberately ordered people to let out these Black Wasps on the Stellarsky Continent and in Heaven Star City. In addition, so many young masters and young mistresses took part in the treasure hunt because of the Martial Arts Hall’s secret support.

There was only one goal—!

To bring Jiang Yi here and let the Devil Star Vines kill him.

As soon as Jiang Yi left the Witch God forbidden ground, the Martial Arts Hall’s people lurking nearby sent back the message. The Martial Arts Hall was already aware that there were Black Wasps and extremely horrible Devil Star Vines on this island.

Ji Tingyu asked people to catch a few Black Wasps and release them in the vicinity of the Western Peace City. After people found them, it would naturally cause a great uproar on the continent; and some clans would be after the honey.

As for the news to be spread so fast, the Martial Arts Hall had made great contributions. The Zhan Clan and the Qian Clan got their information from the Martial Arts Hall as well. Su Ruoxue didn’t want to send people to the treasure hunt at first, but even she was encouraged by a spy from the Martial Arts Hall and chose to send a general at last.

Everything was in Ji Tingyu’s plan. She had always known Qian Daye’s identity which was a secret to the outsiders. Just now, the rest of the clans hurried into a fight with the Black Wasps without waiting for the Qian Clansmen and the Zhan Clansmen. This was actually the result of Dugu Yan gathering the crowd and reaching an agreement beforehand as commanded by Ji Tingyu.

Why didn’t the rest of the clans worry about the three clans taking their advantages? A major reason was that Dugu Yan had promised them: if the three clans dared to take away the honey, the Martial Arts Hall would make sure that they wouldn’t be able to go back alive. Thus, the rest of the clans began their fight assuredly.

Ji Tingyu’s wisdom was too horrifying. She had planned for everything and even didn’t have to expose herself before Jiang Yi stepped into her trap voluntarily. Except for the Martial Arts Hall, nobody knew that this was actually manipulated by a giant hand behind the scene.

…

“What happened?”

On an island dozens of miles away from there, Qian Wanguan and the group suddenly saw a few martial experts marching on the sea surface. They quickly sailed the ship over and found out a situation which came as a shock to everyone. A black vein appeared on the island out of nowhere and pulled both Jiang Yi and Yazi Beast into the bottom of the sea.

“Boss!”

Qian Wanguan became anxious and immediately ordered the men to sail the ship towards the island. Zhan Wushuang got anxious as well. Yun Fei was even more anxious. Jiang Yi was the successor of the Witch God. How could the future protector of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom die like this?

However, she was still able to regain her composure. When seeing the Qian Clansmen turning the ship, she shouted hurriedly, “Don’t be reckless. We are only throwing our lives away if we go like this. Jiang Yi is so powerful, and the Yazi Beast even reached the peak stage of the Demon King grade. Even they can’t resist the veins. What’s the use for us going there?”

Qian Wanguan glanced at her coldly and growled, “What kind of rubbish are you talking about? Are we going to stand by and watch the boss die? You’re afraid of death; I’m going alone.”

“What’re you saying?”

Zhan Wushuang was angered. He threw Qian Wanguan a fierce glare, yelling, “Yun Fei isn’t like this! Where were you when we fought together with Jiang Yi in the Ghost Woods? If we can rescue Jiang Yi, I’m the first one willing to give my life. The problem is… after we die, who else is able to save him?”

Qian Wanguan instantly cowered by Zhan Wushuang’s yelling. He could only say embarrassedly, “What should we do then? We can’t just sit here and wait.”

Yun Fei didn’t blame Qian Wanguan. Turning her eyes, she said, “Firstly, immediately send message to Demon Empress, Zhuge Qingyun, Shui Youlan, and Grandma Silver Flower. Secondly, ask people to consult documents on the Black Wasps and the black vein to look for methods of breaking them. Thirdly, pray to the god and hope that Jiang Yi can solve the problem by himself…”
