My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 284 - Go To The Depths Of The Mountain

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi was rather disappointed when Zhuge Qingyun had no clues pertaining to Yi Piaopiao's situation. Starfall Island was millions of miles away, and he even had to cross the sea. Jiang Yi had been constantly on the move for this period of time and was both fatigued physically and mentally. Coupled with his intention to cultivate, he didn't wish to travel for the time being; hence, he could only cultivate to the bottleneck before going to Starfall Island.

"That's right…"

Zhuge Qingyun abruptly recalled something and spoke in a serious tone, "Jiang Yi, if you have the time, make a trip to Mt. Thirty Thousand and thank the Demon Empress personally. The Demon Empress has done you a great favor this time, and you have to grasp tightly onto such a powerful backer! That individual… is currently the strongest existence on this continent."

"Into the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand?"

Jiang Yi's eyes shrunk as he spoke with some doubt. "If I was to venture into the depths of the mountain, wouldn't I be torn apart by demonic beasts?"

"Ke-Ke!"

Zhuge Qingyun shook his hand and replied, "You might face danger on the outskirts of the mountain, but when you reach the depths of the mountains, you will truly be safe. The Demon Kings' spirit wisdom is comparable to human's intelligence, and they are able to speak the human's language. I heard that you are on good terms with the little fox, right? Then it will definitely be safe for you in there."

"Oh, okay."

Jiang Yi nodded but still hesitated for a little. Venturing into the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand by himself? Not even Shui Youlan would dare to do that, right? If something happened, he might not even have a corpse.

"Alright, you can return now. Princ.i.p.al Qi will arrange a solitary and large courtyard for you and your family. Do not refuse and cultivate well. Treat this place as your own home. I do not have many years left in my life, and if you can break through to the Vajra Realm, I will pa.s.s the Princ.i.p.al's position to you. Princ.i.p.al Qi and the rest do not have such potential in their lifetime. You need to work harder."

Zhuge Qingyun spoke indifferently and wheeled himself into his house, leaving being an aged figure from behind. Jiang Yi silently saw Zhuge Qingyun enter and only left after a period of time.

A mentor was already waiting outside as he smiled and spoke to Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, go take a look at your new home. It is in the north courtyard."

"North courtyard."

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose and followed the mentor. They walked across around seven or eight courtyards and quickly entered an extremely luxurious and huge courtyard.

This courtyard was obviously meant for a Vice Princ.i.p.al, which was sumptuous, s.p.a.cious, and lavish. It was decorated with ready-made and brand new furniture. Zhuge Qingyun probably requested Princ.i.p.al Qi to make this arrangement long ago.

There were plenty of people in the courtyard which included a few Vice Princ.i.p.als and some competent mentors. Apart from Qian w.a.n.guan, other cadets do not even have the qualification to enter this place.

Jiang Xiaonu's hair was tied into a cute double braid, and when she saw Jiang Yi entered, she immediately let out a sweet smile. She came over quickly and pulled Jiang Yi's hand and said, "Young Master, quickly come see our new home."

Jiang Yi nodded with appreciation towards the few Vice Princ.i.p.als. Zhuge Qingyun's arrangement was rather brilliant. With Jiang Yunhai and Jiang Xiaonu staying here—even if something was to happen to Jiang Yi, he didn't have to worry about their safety. As long as Zhuge Qingyun didn't die, no one would harm them, which settled Jiang Yi's future worries.

Jiang Yi was very satisfied after taking a look at the courtyard. It was s.p.a.cious and had over a dozen rooms. Most importantly, it had a personal cultivation room. Such treatment was only available to vice princ.i.p.als. He didn't even have to go to the south courtyard and could just directly cultivate at home.

"w.a.n.guan, you move in, too."

Jiang Yi looked at Qian w.a.n.guan and suddenly proposed while Qian w.a.n.guan responded with all smiles as he nodded non-stop. Princ.i.p.al Qi and the others naturally wouldn't raise their objections as they wouldn't want to brush away Jiang Yi for such a trivial matter.

With all the arrangements properly settled, Princ.i.p.al Qi and the others left one after another while Qian w.a.n.guan began to ask people to shift his things in here. After a few hours, he even arranged two maidservants and two chefs, which caused Jiang Yi to have a gasp of surprise at this capability.

After seeing Qian w.a.n.guan's subordinates who had been shifting non-stop for the past one hour, Jiang Yi asked embarra.s.sedly, "w.a.n.guan, you are shifting quite a bit of baggage in here. Are you going to stay here for a long period of time? Aren't you going to return to the royal capital?"

"What is there to return for?"

Qian w.a.n.guan grinned and replied, "I am currently unwelcome in the royal capital, and I will just be mistreated if I am to return. Why not just stay here comfortably for a few years?"

"For a few years?"

Jiang Yi spoke while feeling guilty, "I have implicated you… will your Young Clan Head position be affected if you do not return for a few years?"

"Hehe!"

Qian w.a.n.guan spoke with pride, "Boss, do not underestimate me. I now have the full authority and am in charge of all the merchant a.s.sociations in the Great Xia Kingdom, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, and the Saint Spirit Kingdom. Even if I am in the college, I can still control the merchant a.s.sociations in the three kingdoms with ease."

"Brilliant!"

Jiang Yi gave a thumbs-up. He didn't know how many merchant a.s.sociations the Qian Clan had, but as a prominent figure like the Qian Clan, they must have extended to every corner of the continent after occupying the continent for ten thousand years. The Qian Clan's accountable properties were already innumerable, and who knew how much more hidden a.s.sets like the Dragon Source Merchant Hall did they have. It seemed like only the upper echelons of the Qian Clan would know of such figures.

If Qian w.a.n.guan was in charge of the a.s.sets in the three va.s.sal kingdoms, it was needless to say how stable his status in the Qian Clan was. This was also an embodiment of his capability, and if Jiang Yi was to manage them, it would certainly turn into a mess.

Jiang Yi leisurely stayed in Mt. Spirit Beast College and prepared to refine the celestial stone. He had obtained five celestial stones from his first rank position in the Kingdom War. After giving Su Ruoxue two of the stones, he was going to refine the three stones that he had left.

As for Su Ruoxue's matters, Jiang Yi didn't try to find out anything from Qian w.a.n.guan. Since the two of them were not meant for each other, then why try to find out more? The more Jiang Yi knew, the more his heart would ache.

Qian w.a.n.guan was also very keen as he didn't even mention a single thing. Su Ruoxue might still be in Summer Rain City, but the two kingdoms were already connected by marriage, and it was irreversible. After suffering such a huge loss, the Great Xia Kingdom wouldn't dare to withdraw from the promise of marriage. Furthermore, Qian w.a.n.guan didn't wish for Jiang Yi to go against the Divine Martial Kingdom anymore.

It was rather peaceful in the Divine Martial Kingdom during this period of time. They clearly knew that Jiang Yi was in Mt. Spirit Beast College, but they didn't send anyone to demand the college to hand Jiang Yi over. The Great Xia Kingdom, the Saint Spirit Kingdom, and the other va.s.sal kingdoms were also having peaceful times. After experiencing a demonic beast insurrection, the humans required a short period of peace. If anyone dared to incite a war at this moment, they would surely become the public enemy of the continent.

The Azure Dragon Empire did release a decree to condemn the mastermind who staged the little fox's kidnapping. They even offered ten celestial stones as a reward, appealing to all the people of the continent to find the mastermind and punish them.

This decree was in tune with the people's heart. After all, a war between humans was fine. If someone made use of the demonic beasts to slaughter so many soldiers and commoners, they would be offending the people of the continent and would be deemed as the public enemy of mankind.

The Great Xia Kingdom and the Saint Spirit Kingdom soon offered a bounty to find whoever that could find the mastermind behind the scene. The rest of the va.s.sal kingdoms released a bounty as well and were all condemning the culprits.

Of course… many of the people knew that this mastermind would never be found. To be able to plot such a huge scheme and to activate eight Soul Travel Realms experts who were beyond the seventh stage, it meant that this mastermind was very influential. Especially seeing how resolutely these eight individuals committed suicide, they had obviously gone through careful planning to make sure no clues were left behind.

This calamity was bound to be engraved in the memories of all the people in the continent as more than a million people were killed and thousands of cities were lost. The one which suffered the most was the Great Xia Kingdom, which not only lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers but even their only Vajra Realm expert. With their kingdom strength taking a huge blow, they were now at the bottom of all the six va.s.sal kingdoms.

The Saint Spirit Kingdom suffered quite a lot of losses as well while the Northern Mang Kingdom was doing fine. Even though countless cities were lost, their army was rather healthy. The Azure Dragon Empire's Stellarsky City might be preserved, but their hidden trumps were revealed, and more than half their experts were injured and killed.

The continent might now be peaceful, but the power balance had been broken. Many of the experts were concerned. This meant that the peace might soon be disrupted, and the smoke of war was soon going to engulf the entire continent.
