Chapter 484: Unrivaled on the Continent?

Buzz!

A figure suddenly appeared above the Sea of Death. It was indeed daytime, and this individual scanned the surroundings and revealed an expression as though he had obtained a new lease of life. He took a deep breath of fresh sea breeze, but he didn’t dare to stay as he quickly instant-shifted out of the Sea of Death.

“Yazi Beast, come out!”

After getting out of the Sea of Death, Jiang Yi’s Universal Palace flashed with light as a giant beast appeared in mid-air. The Yazi Beast was immediately on guard when it appeared, but when it saw that it was just Jiang Yi alone, it grinned and asked with doubt, “Kid, what about that peak-stage Vajra Realm martial expert? How did you get away from him?”

“Stop asking so many questions, let’s leave this place first!” Jiang Yi instant-shifted onto the back of the Yazi Beast while the latter didn’t ask anymore and quickly flew towards the continent in the west.

“En… this place is quite near to Starfall Island, right? Should I go for a visit?”

Jiang Yi had a sudden thought. He was filled with admiration towards Shui Youlan, and she didn’t even appear after all the commotion? He couldn’t help but suspect if something had happened to Starfall Island?

When he thought about Xiao Longwang and Sha Di who were still in the continent and his concern for Jiang Xiaonu and the others, he had hesitated. He muttered for a moment while the Universal Palace flashed, and a black figure appeared on the Yazi Beast. He had brought Grandma Silver Flower out.

“En?”

Grandma Silver Flower was still recuperating in the Universal Palace, and when she was suddenly teleported out, she got a shock. When she saw that it was safe, she then bowed towards Jiang Yi with cupped hands and asked, “Marshal, what is the situation?”

“Not bad.”

Jiang Yi nodded and spoke casually, “Ling Clan’s Patriarch is already dead.”

“What?”

Grandma Silver Flower’s body shivered while the Yazi Beast’s eyes were so wide opened with disbelief while it paused in mid-air. Grandma Silver Flower swallowed her saliva and took a closer look at Jiang Yi to make sure that he wasn’t joking. She then wiggled her mouth and spoke with a trembling voice, “Marshal is formidable. The Witch God didn’t make a wrong judgment. Your strength… is actually so horrific?”

“En… let’s not talk about this.”

Jiang Yi didn’t want to explain about the incident with the female corpse and the ancient coffin at the bottom of the sea. He didn’t want to talk about it; neither did he want to tell Grandma Silver Flower that he was actually chased like a dog by Patriarch Ling.

He paused for a moment and asked, “Grandma, why didn’t Hostess Shui appear to help this time? There is also the Abbot. Could something have happened to Starfall Island and the Great Zen Monastery? Shall we go take a look at Starfall Island?”

“This… this old one doesn’t understand as well. With Hostess Shui’s formidable strength, I think nothing would happen to her.”

Grandma Silver Flower didn’t know that the Martial Arts Hall was suppressing the Water Moon Observatory and the Great Zen Monastery. She paused for a moment and advised, “Marshal, we better return first and stabilize the situation in the continent first. Marshal can take this opportunity and eradicate the empire and the other kingdoms first. But… I reckon that the Martial Arts Hall might step in this time. Marshal, if the Martial Arts Hall didn’t put out any harsh conditions, I advise you to endure it and not make an enemy out of the Martial Arts Hall.”

“The Martial Arts Hall?”

Jiang Yi’s brows lifted as his expression turned grave. Before the Demon Empress left, she had carefully instructed him not to offend the Martial Arts Hall.

His eyes flickered as he asked in a serious tone, “Grandma, back when the six vassal kingdoms surrounded the Stellarsky City, did the Martial Arts Hall step in to suppress them? Didn’t the Martial Arts Hall avoid meddling in the continent’s affairs? Another thing… is the Martial Arts Hall truly so powerful?”

“I am not sure either!”

Grandma Silver Flower shook her head and said, “Marshal, there are some historical secrets that not even I was qualified to know. When I went to Summer Rain City, the king informed me that if we were able to win this battle by fluke, the Martial Arts Hall would definitely step in later on. He asked me to give you a piece of advice, asking you to endure it as long as the Martial Arts Hall isn’t too excessive.”

“Let’s talk about it after we return.”

Jiang Yi shook his head. He decided to return and check before making any decision. If the Martial Arts Hall wasn’t too excessive, so what if he had to take a step back?

Right now, the Ling Clan’s Patriarch, Xia Tingwei, Eunuch Lin, Saint Spirit Kingdom’s Old Marshal, and the two principals of the two major colleges were dead. There were just a few Vajra Realm martial experts on the continent, and no one was able to threaten his life anymore. He just had to take out Xiao Longwang and Sha Di. After he razed the Azure Dragon Empire, the continent would be at peace.

“Hu… hu…”

The situation had been set, and the victory scale was tipping towards him. He had created yet another miracle, and his name was destined to be left in history. He had become one of the most brilliant stars of the Stellarsky Continent, and he might have the chance to conquer the whole continent. He could rule over the continent and become the next thearch!

However…

Right now, his heart didn’t have any hint of happiness. Instead, he felt fatigued from his soul spirit to his physical body, a kind of deep fatigue.

Victory meant hardship for the commoners.

Defeat was even worse for the commoners.

The Summer Rain City had countless corpses, and it had caused Jiang Yi to have a deep resentment for war. Why did humans like to be in conflict? Even if conflicts were inevitable, why did they have to implicate the commoners, the innocent elderly, and those newly born children who were still learning how to walk?

This world was always filled with helplessness and contradiction. If one didn’t fight, they would be oppressed, humiliated, killed. If one fought, there would be way too many deaths and too many implications.

Huff, I don’t care anymore! This world isn’t just, and there aren’t any right or wrongdoings. As long as others don’t offend me, I will not go offend them. I just ask need to have a clear conscience!

Jiang Yi let out a sigh and didn’t continue pondering. He sat cross-legged on the Yazi Beast and shut his eyes to rest. He might have been in the Thearch Palace for the past few days, but he didn’t dare to relax for a single moment and was now extremely fatigued.

Roar! Roar!

The Yazi Beast let out loud roars and continued flying towards the continent at rapid speed. It and Grandma Silver Flower’s heart were surging with excitement. Especially Grandma Silver Flower who was looking at Jiang Yi with respect. If Jiang Yi could kill the Ling Clan’s Patriarch, it meant he could also kill Shui Youlan. It meant that his strength was at the pinnacle of the continent.

Eighteen years old!

Grandma Silver Flower remembered clearly that Jiang Yi had just passed his 18th birthday. Three years ago, Jiang Yi had just been abused by a group of hedonistic descendants in Skyplume City. He was at the bottom, and he had climbed up to the pinnacle of the continent in just three years. This wasn’t something that could be described as a miracle.

Luck? Fate? Effort? Special constitution? Yi Piaopiao’s technique and artifact which were left behind?

No matter what, Jiang Yi had succeeded!

If someone was to say that Jiang Yi relied on his parents—Shui Qianrou, Jiang Yiliu, the various princes and princesses, the various descendants of the great aristocratic clans… which of them didn’t have a good background? Let alone reaching the level of Jiang Yi’s greatness, which of them could even reach the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm at this age?

Luck and fate!

Those were even less reliable. An individual’s luck was limited, and fate was always given to those that were prepared.

Of course… Jiang Yi had a strange constitution which Grandma Silver Flower couldn’t understand. In fact, until this moment, she still couldn’t understand how did Jiang Yi kill Patriarch Ling with his strength.

Then again, strength was simply strength!

No matter what happened, it was the fact that Jiang Yi had killed the Vajra Realm martial experts outside of Summer Rain City; it was the fact that Patriarch Ling had died in Jiang Yi’s hands as well. If one was a farmer and was able to kill a Vajra Realm martial expert with a hoe, then that farmer would also be a martial expert of the continent.

The process and the method didn’t matter; everyone looked at the ultimate result. It was without a doubt that Jiang Yi was now unrivaled in the continent. At least, this was what Grandma Silver Flower thought.

After Jiang Yi returns, would he cleanse the continent with blood? Would he eradicate the empire and vanquish the other kingdoms? Would the Martial Arts Hall appear?

Grandma Silver Flower looked towards the western skies. Although she couldn’t see the continent yet, she could faintly feel that once Jiang Yi returned, the continent was about to change.
