Swish! Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi kept on instant-shifting. He sprinted to the south like a ghost flickering in the sky. He didn’t know which direction Jiang Xiaonu headed to or where she was now. He had no choice but to blindly rush towards the south. He could only guess that Jiang Xiaonu should be flying to the sea. Only when she hid in a concealed island would she be able to escape from death. The five major alliance armies joined their forces and attacked the Great Xia Kingdom; the entire continent was not safe anymore.

Jiang Yi was extremely exhausted after days of journey and several great battles in the Summer Rain City. However, at this moment, he had to persevere with the chase. He dared not to delay. Jiang Xiaonu and the group were in imminent danger. He would rather die than to stop.

“There is a city down here!”

After instant-shifting for quite some time, Jiang Yi saw a big city in a distance. Probing with the divine senses, he saw the words ‘Summer Field City’ on the city gate. Immediately, he landed on the ground and dashed to the city.

This Summer Field City was a major city in the south of the Great Xia Kingdom and was stationed with 100, 000 troops. There were scouts in the dozens of small cities nearby. If he asked them about the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaonu, he might found something useful.

“Who goes there? The Summer Field City has shut its gate. Hurry up and leave, or else we will kill without mercy!”

The soldiers in the city got nervous upon seeing Jiang Yi shot here as a shadow. The north of the Great Xia Kingdom was in the middle of a great fight. How could they not worry when a martial expert suddenly showed up?

“Presumptuous! That is Regent! Greetings to the Regent!”

One of the general’s eyesight was better. He recognized Jiang Yi before slapping the commander who spoke just now. He rushed down the city gate and shouted on one knee.

Swish! Swish!

The generals on the city wall hurried and jumped down one after another. All genuflected and shouted, “Greetings to the Regent!”

“Rise!”

Jiang Yi didn’t have the time to beat about the bush with them. He yelled in a stern voice, “Have you seen a green-haired girl with two green wings—or the Ling Clan Patriarch—flying past this place?”

“Ah? Yes!”

This general was stared at him blankly and swiftly said in a solemn voice, “Fifteen minutes ago, there was indeed a green-haired girl with wings flying by. She had a very strong aura and was very fast. I’m afraid no one saw her except the Soul Travel Realm Experts. Em... five minutes ago, another more powerful martial expert passed by. He was at a speed similar to that Lady. I have no idea whether he is the Ling Clan Patriarch as mentioned by the Regent.”

“Fifteen minutes ago?”

Jiang Yi’s heart sank. Even if the time for Jiang Xiaonu’s transformation increased a little, she would have reached the limit by now. The Ling Clan Patriarch was immediately after her and should easily detect her. The consequences would be disastrous.

“Keep the men in the city on guard and wait for my order!”

Jiang Yi yelled and disappeared, instant-shifting to the south. He was even faster this time. In two blinks of an eye, he turned into a black spot and vanished in the south.

Swish! Swish!

After instant-shifting for five minutes and traveling over 50,000 kilometers, Jiang Yi suddenly stopped—as he heard a piercing sound due to extreme flying speed. He also faintly sensed a powerful aura in the front.

The Vajra Realm martial expert!

From such a long distance, only the Vajra Realm martial expert could give out such strong auras. Almost all the Vajra Realm martial experts on the continent had shown up; the identity of the person in front was clear.

Swish!

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Yi instant-shifted forward and extended his divine senses at the same time. Meanwhile, the divine senses of the martial expert in front were spread over as well. After the two found out each other, both shook and instantly gave out boundless killing intent.

As expected, he was the Ling Clan Patriarch!

Jiang Yi’s eyes became bright at this moment. Just now, he noticed that the Ling Clan Patriarch appeared to be... looking for something around the area. Ling Clan Patriarch was chasing after Jiang Xiaonu; why did he stop and wander around?

When the Ling Clan Patriarch left the Summer Rain City, the fight was at its crucial moments. If he managed to kill Jiang Xiaonu, he would definitely return to the Summer Rain City immediately rather than strolling around here. The only explanation was—he was still looking for Jiang Xiaonu! In other words, Jiang Xiaonu was not dead yet!

After reaching this conclusion, Jiang Yi was ecstatic. Though he couldn’t figure out how Jiang Xiaonu managed to escape the search of the Ling Clan Patriarch, he was relieved as long as they were fine.

“Jiang Yi!”

Ling Clan Patriarch’s eyes sparkled with glaring light. He was indeed looking for Jiang Xiaonu. He was able to detect Jiang Xiaonu’s aura along the way but lost her around the nearby mountains. He marched forward for another 5,000 kilometers but didn’t sense any trace of her aura. Therefore, he went back and explored around, but he didn’t find anything.

However, none of this mattered as Jiang Yi showed up. Nothing would constitute a problem if he killed Jiang Yi. He saw Jiang Yi coming from the north so he probed the north with his divine senses out of suspicion. When he found no one behind Jiang Yi, he asked sullenly, “Jiang Yi, where are you coming from?”

“Where am I coming from?”

A trace of coldness flitted across Jiang Yi’s eyes. He was well aware of the concerns of the Ling Clan Patriarch. Turning his eyes, he grinned and said faintly, “Naturally, I’m coming from the Summer Rain City. Ling Clan Patriarch, I have to tell you some bad news. Xiao Longwang, Sha Di, Principal Yun, Hundred Blossom Lady, the Old Supreme Marshal, and Xia Tingwei were all killed, and so were all of your alliance armies. The Demon Empress and Observatory Hostess have come here, and they are attacking respective cities. The Demon Empress claimed the Stellarsky City. Maybe soon enough, you will be the only one left in your Azure Dragon Empire! Hahahaha!”

“What?”

Ling Clan Patriarch changed his expression but instantly burst out laughing. “Boy, you are lying to me. It’s clear that the Demon Empress has left. Where are Shui Youlan and the old monk? Why don’t you let them come out?”

“Haha! Patriarch, you don’t shed tears until seeing a coffin!”

Jiang Yi knew how to play mental games. He showed the Universal Palace in his hand. A white light flashed by, and the Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower appeared in the air. After letting the two out, he swiftly took them back. Then, he said softly, “I don’t need them to deal with people of your level. I alone was enough. Old bastard, die!”

“Uh...”

After seeing the Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower, Ling Clan Patriarch was secretly startled and became slightly hesitated. He clearly saw that the Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower were dying by the time he left, but the two were still alive now?! They were brought here by Jiang Yi; what did it mean? It meant that the war inside the Summer Rain City was over!

There were still five Vajra Realm martial experts in the Summer Rain City. How could Jiang Yi kill all of them by himself within such a short time? Did the Demon Empress really never leave? Was it true that Shui Youlan and the old monk came to help? Was it... a plot designed by the Martial Arts Hall?

Ling Clan Patriarch was filled with uncertainty and panicked for a bit. If Jiang Yi was telling the truth, then the Azure Dragon Empire was definitely overthrown; and he was a dead man.

Swish!

Jiang Yi instant-shifted to him. The fire dragon sword appeared in his hand and shot out tens of thousands of small fire dragons. Meanwhile, his body glistened with white light and turned into four images, dashing to Ling Clan Patriarch in a fan formation.

“Kill!”

Feeling the energy from the tens of thousands of small fire dragons, Ling Clan Patriarch had to struggle to pull himself together. A ruthless look flickered across his eyes. No matter what happened, he should kill Jiang Yi first.
