Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

“Kill our way back to East Imperial Continent?”

Jiang Yi felt that it was far in the indefinite future. In the past, he had an overconfident opinion of his own strength and killed a path of blood in the Stellarsky Continent with his Fire Dragon Sword. When he got to the pinnacle of the Stellarsky Continent, he felt that even if the outside world was dangerous. He would still be able to establish himself using his talents and great effort.

The absolute experts from the She Clan and the palm strike from Lu Ping had let him experienced it firsthand. So what if he was a little stronger? So what even if he was to cultivate diligently for five or ten years? What stage would be he able to reach? The higher stages of the Heaven Monarch Realm? Peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm?

Putting aside the wishful thinking of reaching the peak stage of Heaven Monarch in five to ten years, so what even if he could actually reach that stage? The Lu Clan, which was one of the 13 Clans on Sin Island, already had a peak-stage Heaven Monarch as a city lord for a small city. How many experts would the Nine Thearchs Clans have? How many cities did they possess? How many peak-stage Heaven Monarchs would that be?

Above the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm were those existences extremely close to gods. Those legendary existences would be able to rupture the sky and the ground in a single flip of their hand, shatter the mountain rivers, and cause them to flow in the opposite direction. They would be able to turn seas into continents.

Such existences had been cultivating for centuries and possessed the most elite resources and treasures in the continent. How was he, a puny martial artist from the tiny Stellarsky Continent, able to go against them?

“Destroy the Martial Arts Hall?”

Jiang Yi recalled about his magnificent and grand exaggeration, which caused him to reveal a self-mocking expression. The stronger he grew, the lesser he understood about this world and the more fearful he felt in his heart. This world had just too many experts, and he was—at best—just an ordinary figure that had a little luck.

Without the Nameless Divine Art, the Fire Spirit Pearl, the Heaven Evasion, and the Fire Cloud Armor, what would he be?

He had been trying to comprehend a high-grade dao pattern for over a year and still couldn’t fuse one yet. He had been cultivating his essence force for such a long time but had barely made it to the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm. His path to becoming an expert was still very far that it seemed to be forever. When could he actually become a true expert, an absolute expert that could clash against the Nine Thearchs Clans?

Twenty years? Thirty years? Fifty years?

By that time, Su Ruoxue might already have passed away due to old age or already have been killed for a long time.

He was already 20 years old. Even if he could find Yu Wen, he might not tell Jiang Yi about Yi Piaopiao’s situation. Jiang Yi might just be unfated to reunite with Yi Piaopiao, and that woman would only live forever in his heart, lingering in his memory.

Jiang Yi felt this deep helplessness as he stood on the mountain peak for the entire night silently. Jiang Xiaonu stood with him until the eastern dawn lit up, which helped him recover.

“Alright, Xiaonu. I am fine. Go back and cultivate. I should go look for thunder stones.”

He forced out a smile, but Jiang Xiaonu still gave him a concerned look before vanishing into the Thearch Palace as white light. Jiang Yi had pulled himself back up and withdrew the Thearch Palace before rushing into the depths of the thunder ridge.

He had to pull himself up as he wasn’t living for himself, and he had plenty of people around him. He had to put his frail self inside his heart and support this entire sky for them.

After excavating thunder stones for an entire morning, he entered the Thearch Palace to cultivate his essence force. He cherished every minute and second he had to increase his strength. Every time he increased his strength, it would mean that Su Ruoxue would have to suffer lesser.

…

It was almost nighttime.

As the people quickly left the thunder mountains, Jiang Yi came out from the Thearch Palace as he wanted to continue comprehending the last type of dao pattern, but he suddenly noticed a group of Heaven Monarchs rushing over from the Sky Thunder City’s direction.

“Chief Jiang!”

It was Niu Deng and the others. He had transmitted a message from a distance: “The City Lordess is summoning for you, asking you to bring Young Lady Xiaonu, Big Sister Luan, and Qing Yu to attend a banquet.”

“Attend a banquet?”

Jiang Yi frowned. Lu Ping had never summoned him unless it was something important, and she would normally transmit a message over. Why did she ask Niu Deng to relay the message this time?

Since Lu Ping had sent the message, Jiang Yi didn’t dare to disobey as he still had to rely on Lu Ping’s protection right now. He teleported Jiang Xiaonu out and carried her to fly into the city.

“Niu Deng, what is the situation?” As they were flying, he inquired to Niu Deng.

Niu Deng blinked his eyes with confusion and replied, “I do not know the exact details. It seems that there is an important guest that arrived in the city? Even the City Lordess had personally gone out of the city to welcome the guest. I think the City Lordess must want all of you to keep them company.”

“Important guests?”

Jiang Yi’s heart shivered. If Lu Ping was so prudent, it would mean that the guests were either the young masters and young ladies from the Lu Clan or the rest of the twelve clans. He felt a little headache while rubbing his nose. These direct descendants of the 13 Clans were the true nobility, and if they were to offend them, it would be great trouble.

The Lu Clan had strict rules, but that was towards the ordinary descendants of the Lu Clan. The true nobility treated the worthless clan rules like toilet paper.

As the ancient saying goes: ‘When the prince commits a crime, he shall be punishable like any other commoner.’ It was, in fact, bullsh*t. When a prince truly committed a serious crime, there would be someone covering up for him. The prince would at best be berated by the seniors as the laws were set up by them. How could they actually exert the laws on their own people?

One hour later, Jiang Yi had returned to the city. After entering his own courtyard, he got Feng Luan, Xiaonu, and Qing Yu to take a bath before they put on their splendid attire. He also put on embroidered clothes and led everyone to the city lord residence.

“Chief Jiang, to the second floor please.”

Lu Feng was already waiting outside the city lord residence, and when he saw Jiang Yi and his group, he quickly led them in. While on the way upstairs, he suddenly transmitted a message: “Chief Jiang. This time, two important Young Master and Young Lady from the Lu clan are here. Your group will have to be careful when attending to them. Even if there are any matters, you will have to endure it and not be rash. Otherwise, not even Lordess can protect you.”

As expected…

Jiang Yi’s expression turned grave as he turned around to transmit a message to Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, and Qing Yu. He then transmitted a message to Lu Feng: “Commander Feng, why do we have to attend to the Lu Clan’s Young Master and Young Lady?”

Lu Feng smiled bitterly and replied: “The orders came personally from Lordess. I do not know the exact details.”

Jiang Yi had no choice but to follow Lu Feng up to a hall on the second floor with a puzzled expression. Jiang Yi had yet to enter this hall before, and once they entered, their eyes lit up immediately. The hall’s decorations were extremely luxurious and were no different from an imperial palace hall. A few commanders were seated in the hall and were all accompanied by beautiful women as they turned up in splendid attire.

“Lu Ping isn’t here yet. So are the Young Master and Young Lady.”

Jiang Yi looked around and greeted the commanders. When many of the commanders saw Jiang Xiaonu, Feng Luan, and Qing Yu, their eyes flashed with greed; but they immediately concealed it. Chief Jiang was now the favorite for Lu Ping and their God of Wealth, which no one would dare to offend.

Jiang Yi led the three ladies and sat at a purple gold platform at the back. There were plenty of beautiful servant girls in the hall, and there were moving around to serve the delicacies to everyone. There was a group of alluring ladies that were dancing lightly with exposing attire, but all of their glamour was overshadowed by Jiang Xiaonu and Feng Luan.

Feng Luan had outstanding looks and was originally the ruler of the Phoenix Cry Continent. She naturally revealed a graceful and noble aura presence, like a high and mighty Empress. It caused many men to have this desire to conquer her and lash at her.

Jiang Xiaonu was originally skinny and frail while her skin was a little yellowish due to malnutrition. Despite the case, she was still a rare beauty in hibernation. During these years, she had gradually grown beautiful, causing her skin to become extremely fair. Most importantly, after awakening her bloodlines, she had this special aura that made her way above commoners. Furthermore, her thoughts were pure and innocent like a white paper, which made her unconcerned about everything. It made her look like a fairy that descended from the Nine Heavens, leaving a deep impression with just a single glance at her.

Humans relied on the clothes while the Buddha relied on their golden appearance!

Feng Luan was wearing a black gown which vividly and thoroughly displayed her perfect figure. In contrast, Jiang Xiaonu was wearing the Dream Ripple Dress which glowed with a faint sacred white light, making everyone feel a rush of excitement. Qing Yu’s looks weren’t inferior to the two of them, but her aura was.

“The City Lordess has arrived!”

Shortly after, there was an announcement that could be heard from the outside. Jiang Yi and the others quickly stood up to welcome. Lu Ping had also attended the banquet in luxurious clothes, with a splendidly bundled-up hair, making her look hale and hearty. Once she walked in, she smiled wholeheartedly and said, “Come, come, let us welcome Young Master Lin and Young Lady Yu to be our guests at Sky Thunder City.”

“Hahaha…”

An impressive-looking Young Master and a gorgeous Young Lady who had looks comparable to Feng Luan walked in leisurely with their attendants. Once that Young Master walked in, his eyes immediately swept the hall; and when he took a glance at Jiang Xiaonu, his eyes lit up with a frightening glow. His laughter came to a spontaneous stop while he stopped in his footsteps as well. His eyes radiated with brilliance like a demonic wolf that had found its prey.
