Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1170: Inescapable Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Stupa City was very quiet. Besides a few black-robed men standing around the tied-up Jiang Yunhai and company in the city plaza, no one else could be seen. Also, not a sound was to be heard; it was exceptionally scary.

Jiang Yunhai and company were unconscious. Actually, the last time that Yi Chan had seen Qian Gui, he was also unconscious. Jiang Yunhai, Qian Gui, and the others were not strong; and so any elixirs could make them fall into a slumber for a couple of months. They were very easy to control.

Jiang Yi navigated the Mystic Divine Palace and scouted the outskirts of Stupa City for five minutes. Besides identifying Jiang Yunhai and company and the few black-robed men, Zi Fengtian and the group of Demigods had all disappeared. The restrictions on the City Lord Manor in the city were activated, and it was possible they were all hiding inside.

Jiang Yi’s mind revolved furiously as he analyzed all the various possibilities and thought of all possible countermeasures. He was here to rescue people, and he did not intend to die here. If the hostages could not be saved and if he threw away his life as well, he was an idiot. Hence, he did not barge in but was controlling the Mystic Divine Palace, suspended in mid-air outside the city.

Lying in wait for the enemy to make the first move!

Jiang Yi was waiting for the enemy to act first. If he could not control himself and acted recklessly, the outcome would be disastrous for him and his family and friends.

Fifteen minutes, one hour... one day!

As night came, the enemy finally could resist no more. The restrictions on the City Lord Manor flashed, and dozens of Demigods came walking out. Zi Fengtian and the most formidable martial artist elder among the group were standing in the middle. That elder was all skin and bones and was quite small. He was also hunched like a prawn. He looked like a person who had already one foot in his grave and was just holding onto the final years of his life.

Jiang Yi sensed the auras of all the Demigods and confirmed this frail elder’s identity. He should be the number one consecrator of the Zi Clan, that eight-star formidable martial artist. As the City Lord Manor’s restrictions had all been deactivated, at this moment Jiang Yi could scan the entire city. However, he did not find any formidable martial artists sent by the mastermind; the few black-robed men in the city plaza were only Heaven Monarchs. It was obvious they were sacrificial lambs.

“Jiang Yi, since you have come, why not enter? Do you not want to rescue these people?”

Zi Fengtian was wearing a white robe and a purple belt. He had silver shoes, and he held a white long sword in his hand. His looks and airs were comparable to Zhan Tianlei and others. He hid a smile as he glanced at Jiang Yunhai and company as he continued, “This one-handed elder is your grandfather who took you in, right? This b**** is the Stellarsky Continent Water Moon Observatory’s Hostess, right? It is said you owe her a huge debt. Also, these few are your uncles? You won’t stand idle and watch as they die, right?”

Jiang Yi still did not say anything. Since the enemy had shown themselves, he was now able to adapt accordingly. He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and used all his might to scan the entire city again. He also used his Divine Perception to search a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius, wanting to see what ambush the enemy had laid.

However, he scanned the entire city multiple times; and besides the few dozens of Demigods, he did not find anything else. There were also no restrictions at all activated within the city. There were no traps and no formidable martial artists in the five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius either.

Zi Fengtian waited for a while and grew impatient. He shouted out, “Jiang Yi, it seems as if you do not wish to save them. If that is the case... I will have to send them on their way!”

Zi Fengtian’s hand was brought up high as one of the black-robed men raised his long sword and was just about to hack Jiang Rentu’s brain. At this moment, Jiang Yi finally made his move. The Mystic Divine Palace gradually flew forward and stopped above the city walls.

A phantom image formed above the Mystic Divine Palace as Jiang Yi looked at everyone present. He then rested his eyes on Zi Fengtian as he growled and said, “You are the Zi Clan’s young clan head? These people were caught by you? If they were caught by you, then the hundreds of millions of people on the Stellarsky Continent were also killed by you guys? You guys are also the masterminds before the billions of deaths on the continent recently? The Buddha Thearch and others were also killed by you all? Do you guys know what you are doing?

“The demon races in the Endless Deep Sea are biding their time while the Thirteen Clans of Sin Island are also waiting for the right opportunity; are you guys trying to annihilate the human race in the Stellarsky Domain? Are you guys trying to exterminate your own clans? Do you guys want to become the enemies of humankind?”

“Uh—”

Everyone’s face darkened as their eyes narrowed as well; even that frail elder had a very foul look on his face at this moment. Jiang Yi observed this and came to some conclusions of his own. He immediately shouted, “It seems like you guys are not the masterminds! I will tell you guys frankly, the recent outburst of violence and wars on the continent have wiped out three to four billion people.

“Furthermore, the battles are still raging and more people are going to die. My trip to the Evil Thearch City, the Beast Thearch City and the battles that happened there were all forced by the mastermind; the Buddha Thearch, Night Empress, and the others’ trip to the Black Sea was also orchestrated by the mastermind. Including your attack on the Yi Clan and everything that is happening here now, everything was planned and executed by the masterminds. Their aim is very clear—to destroy the East Imperial Continent, to exterminate the Nine Thearch Clans, to annihilate the entire human race!

“Your actions now have made you guys their accomplice. If you guys continue on this path, all the thirty-six clans will become the mortal enemies of the human race. However, if you guys come to your senses now and stop your attacks, I can let bygones be bygones. I can even give you guys a few dozen ancient artifacts. These are all artifacts left behind by the Mystic Thearch; they are one and all cardinal treasures!”

Jiang Yi’s words hit where it hurt and were like a timely warning; everyone present had trembled at his words. Zi Fengtian and company were very clear about what was happening on the continent. At this moment, Jiang Yi’s words had made things even clearer. Furthermore, Jiang Yi’s offer was very tempting: a few dozen ancient artifacts, cardinal treasures left behind by the Mystic Thearch himself.

Everyone was deep in thought and silent. Their eyes were shifting as if calculating the costs and benefits of any actions they could take.

Right at this moment—!

Jiang Yi’s eyes turned cold as his phantom image vanished. Following that, the Mystic Divine Palace thundered forth with an ear-piercing sound and slammed towards Zi Fengtian, who was standing in front of the City Lord Manor. At the same time, Jiang Yi released his Divine Sound Heaven Skill. That sound became even scarier as it was amplified and transmitted out by the Mystic Divine Palace. This sound made all the black-robed men holding on to the hostages hug their heads as they tumbled about on the ground.

“We have been tricked, attack!”

The number one consecrator of the Zi Clan’s eyes flashed as he immediately brought Zi Fengtian and retreated into the City Lord Manor. All the other Demigods scattered in fury as essence force attacks from them shot out incessantly. Many pavilions and castles in the city were destroyed in the process.

That’s right—!

Jiang Yi had no intention of making a deal with Zi Fengtian and company; he had said all those things so that he could have a chance to act. He would rather count on himself than others; if Jiang Yunhai and the rest could not be rescued, Jiang Yi would forever be beholden to others.

Hence, Jiang Yi was very resolute. Also, he had targeted Zi Fengtian. That way, the eight-star formidable martial artist would definitely have to protect Zi Fengtian. Jiang Yi would then have the chance to rescue the hostages.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous attacks by the Demigods had flattened many castles within the city. Beneath these castles and pavilions, lights started to shine forth; it was just like the scene in the Beast Thearch City where the lights formed into lines and shot into mid-air. It was very likely that these lines were going to form a formidable formation.

“A great formation?”

Jiang Yi’s face darkened. If he used Heaven Evasion now and left, he could flee easily. However, he was this close to rescuing Jiang Yunhai and company; how could he not make use of such a good opportunity? He did not care about anything else and flew towards Jiang Yunhai and the rest as he removed the restrictions on the Mystic Divine Palace momentarily and brought them inside.

Buzz!

The numerous lines of light had congealed together and had finally joined together in mid-air. A purple formation was formed. Just when it appeared, the entire spatial zone had trembled; and a horrifying aura emanated forth.

“Retreat!”

All the Demigods flew inside the City Lord Manor. Jiang Yi had already rescued everyone. He did not pursue Zi Fengtian and company but tried to use Heaven Evasion immediately. However, the Mystic Divine Palace shook; and just like that time in Beast Thearch City, the spatial zone only slightly trembled. It could not use Heaven Evasion!

Buzz!

White light from the City Lord Manor had shot straight up into mid-air. Jiang Yi’s divine senses swept forth as his face changed again. Zi Fengtian and company had all been teleported out; that Teleportation Formation had also exploded after the group had left.
