Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi took slightly more than ten days to travel to the Sea of Death from the southern part of the Great Xia Kingdom. He took another four to five days to return to the continent from the Sea of Death. It had been about twenty days now, and even if Jiang Xiaonu had fainted from exhaustion and was hidden in a secluded place, she should have awakened by now.

Jiang Xiaonu was pure, but it didn’t mean that she was foolish. It had been proven when she was able to determine that they weren’t able to win against the enemy. This meant that before her transformation time limit was up, she would surely release Zhan Wushuang and the others from the Green Clear Vase to ensure their safety.

Patriarch Ling was previously searching around the southern part of the Great Xia Kingdom’s territory. It meant that he had yet to kill Jiang Xiaonu. Then... where could they be?

The Zhan Clan’s scouts weren’t as efficient, but the Qian Clan had businesses all over the continent, and most of the minor clans were Qian Clan’s puppets. The hands of Qian Clan had already extended throughout the entire continent, and if the Qian Clan didn’t have any information about Jiang Xiaonu and the others, it meant that there was trouble.

Jiang Yi had a gloomy expression, and his eyes looked as though they were at a loss. He muttered for quite some time before he lifted his head and asked, “What is Uncle Qian’s advice?”

Liu Lao had an awful expression as Qian Wanguan had gone missing as well. He nodded his head and said, “Clan Head didn’t say anything. He said that everything should be left for Young Master Yi to decide. The Qian and the Zhan Clan will do everything to cooperate.”

“Then I shall return first and activate the army to make a search. Help me to pass the message to Uncle Qian and Uncle Zhan for them to continue searching.”

After Jiang Yi gave the instructions, he flew back up to the Yazi Beast and flew towards the south. At the same time, he teleported Grandma Silver Flower out of the Universal Palace and ordered, “Grandma, Xiaonu, Ruoxue, and the others are missing. You think of a way to transmit the message to King Qingtian and ask him to send someone to investigate. If possible, ask him to lend some troops to me.”

“Alright!”

Grandma Silver Flower saw how gloomy Jiang Yi was and didn’t dare to ask anything more. She flew off and search for the secret strategic point which was set up by the Heaven Mystics Kingdom in the Divine Martial Kingdom.

“Yazi Beast, full speed ahead!”

Jiang Yi roared out as the murderous aura burst out from his body again. He originally didn’t want to have any massacre after he returned, but Jiang Xiaonu and the others were missing, which caused his restrained killing aura to rush to his head again.

These people weren’t going to give up? Do they even want to kidnap Xiaonu to threaten him? Jiang Yi hated it when his family got implicated. If he knew the ones that captured Jiang Xiaonu and the others, he would surely make sure their entire lineage would be wiped out.

As for why Jiang Yi assumed that Jiang Xiaonu and the others were captured, it was all based on his intuition. Of course, he naturally wished that Jiang Xiaonu and the others were just hiding and waiting for him to return.

As they were traveling, Grandma Silver Flower returned two days later. Along the way, the Qian and Zhan Clan’s scout would bring back information. The closer Jiang Yi was to the Great Xia Kingdom, the colder Jiang Yi’s heart became. He had been flying for four days and four nights. The news of his return should have been made known throughout the continent, but Jiang Xiaonu and the others were still nowhere to be found.

On the fifth day, he entered the Great Xia Kingdom’s territory. The alliance army had already retreated, and all the occupied cities had returned into the hands of the Great Xia Kingdom’s military. Old General Lu had already received this news and led the surviving Soul Travel Realm experts which numbered near a hundred to the northernmost city in the Great Xia Kingdom to welcome Jiang Yi for his return in triumph.

When Jiang Yi arrived in the city, he immediately got the kneeling experts to get up as he asked quickly, “Did you find the Queen and the others?”

“Not yet.”

Old General Lu was now an individual with a single arm left. He had an agonized expression, and just as he was going to explain something, Jiang Yi burst out with an enraged yell, “What are you gathered here for?! Immediately send the troops to search! How much more troops does the Great Xia Kingdom have? Get all the troops out there and find them, even if you have to dig a meter into the ground or search every dirt in the Great Xia Kingdom!”

“Understood!”

Old General Lu didn’t dare to say much as he quickly turned to make arrangements. He quickly assigned the Soul Travel Realm experts with tasks to muster all the troops available in every city to begin a carpet search.

After arranging everything, Old General Lu then asked in a nervous tone, “Lord Regent, did you... kill the Patriarch?”

“Ling Clan’s Patriarch is dead, but don’t go and announce this information.”

Jiang Yi explained and flew up to the Yazi Beast. He turned around and instructed, “Old General Lu, you go back to Summer Rain City immediately. I will go to the Heaven Mystics Kingdom to gather some reinforcements to conduct the search. Put everything down first and search for the Queen and the others before anything else.”

“Alright!”

Old General Lu’s body shuddered, and he had this uncontrollable ecstasy on his face. The Ling Clan’s Patriarch was dead. Who else was a match for Jiang Yi? As long as they found Su Ruoxue, the Great Xia Kingdom would be able to govern the entire continent.

Swish!

Old General Lu mounted a fast horse and rushed towards Summer Rain City with two subordinates. Jiang Yi had tyrannical martial prowess, but he didn’t know a thing about the internal affairs of the kingdom. In order to mobilize the troops to search for Su Ruoxue, Old General Lu had to plan everything as a middle man.

...

The entire Great Xia Kingdom had been mobilized. The remanent army from the various cities and the conscripted militia added up to about 300,000. They conducted a carpet search and focused especially in the southern part of the kingdom.

Three days later, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom had also sent over 300,000 elite troops to the Great Xia Kingdom, joining up with the already-huge search party. Around 600,000 individuals swept across the entire Great Xia Kingdom’s territory.

Jiang Yi was in despair because after all these people searched through the Great Xia Kingdom multiple times, they still couldn’t find any clue. The Zhan and the Qian Clans had also sent over the message that they couldn’t find anything in the continent.

On the tenth day back at Summer Rain City, Jiang Yi couldn’t sit still anymore!

For these ten days, it was as though he was seated on a pinned cushion. He stayed in the ruined Summer Rain City and looked at the aftermath of the destroyed streets, buildings, and walls. The air was filled with the ever lingering smell of corpses, blood, which caused the evil tendencies in his heart to rise up.

He had a gloomy face as he walked out of the courtyard where he was residing in. He asked Old General Lu to send out an announcement... if Su Ruoxue, Jiang Xiaonu, and the others were not found in three days, he was going to cleanse the continent with blood!

Since the corpses of Jiang Xiaonu and the others couldn’t be found, then they must be alive. It had been so many days, and if Jiang Xiaonu and the others were hiding, they would have already known that Jiang Yi had returned. The only explanation for this situation was that they were captured!

Jiang Yi didn’t know who captured them, and so he didn’t know how to rescue them. If the mastermind wasn’t going to reveal themselves, his only choice was to... force them to reveal themselves. He was going to cleanse the continent with blood and kill all the enemies that opposed him. It would surely force the mastermind to come out from hiding, right?

Once the announcement had been made, the entire continent was in an uproar. Was Jiang Yi finally going to offer the butcher’s knife?

The citizens from the various kingdoms were all living in fear, but the various royal clans and the Azure Dragon Empire didn’t have any indication. They didn’t even put out an announcement... it was so peaceful that it was frightening.

Jiang Yi was completely infuriated!

Three days later, he ordered for the army that had 300,000 soldiers to march out. He had also incorporated the 300,000 soldiers from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom into it. They marched towards the Divine Martial Kingdom, and he was personally leading the army in the center. Grandma Silver Flower was in the vanguard and the Yazi Beast was staying alert high up in the sky.

The 600,000-strong army which was bursting with impressive and imposing aura marched right for the Divine Martial Kingdom!

Apart from a few soldiers staying behind in the Great Xia Kingdom to maintain order, there was no other army left. Since Jiang Yi was going to attack the whole continent and eradicate all the opposing forces, what use was there for defense? Even if the kingdoms wanted to vanquish the Great Xia Kingdom, they would need to eliminate his 600,000-strong army first.

Seven days later, the army arrived at the southern part of the Divine Martial Kingdom. It took them just half a day to occupy five cities in the south of Divine Martial Kingdom. The soldiers in the cities didn’t even dare to resist as three of the cities immediately opened up their city gates and surrendered.

A great battle had begun.
