Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 997: How Dare You

It had been very peaceful during the travel, and the Dwarf Race didn’t pursue them anymore. After traveling for an entire day, it was nighttime; and Mo Yao’er had ordered to rest for the night. The nighttime was very safe, and apart from the Heaven Devil Race, the other races wouldn’t normally be traveling, giving them the guarantee of safety.

Mo Yao’er and others had been lured in by the enemy and had been pursued for two days and nights—even suffering an ambush afterward. More than half of their original 1000 men were killed, and they had been pursued over tens of thousands of miles. In the end, if it wasn’t for Jiang Yi, they would have already perished. Their minds and bodies were exhausted, and they were just two days away from Heaven Devil Mountain. Everyone suspended hearts had finally received some relief.

In the underground tunnel, there wasn’t a trace of illumination; and the group was separated into three. The two elders sat around Mo Yao’er, Jiang Yi and Mo Tian sat together... while the rest of the Heaven Devil Race members didn’t dare to approach Mo Yao’er or Jiang Yi’s side. They simply took glances at them with eyes that were filled with worship and zealotry.

Jiang Yi was very calm, and he was very humble when traveling during the day. He didn’t get extremely self-satisfied because he had accomplished a great feat. He didn’t have those young elites’ arrogance as well. His tanned and not-really handsome face didn’t have any emotions from the start until now. He was like an elderly who had seen through the world. Jiang Yi’s sophisticated bearing had made the two Five-Star elders silently amazed.

Mo Tian was also bewildered as Jiang Yi’s bearing had changed too much from before. This kind of composure that an expert instinctively had, this kind of indifference after massacring thousands of people, and this kind of calmness after experiencing such a huge event were something that the previous Mo Xing wouldn’t have possessed. However, Mo Tian’s character had always been carefree. He was only silently happy as Mo Xing had claimed huge merits and that their lineage was going to soar to new heights. Thus, he didn’t think too much about it.

Jiang Yi’s bearing had also attracted Mo Yao’er’s attention. Mo Yao’er was a person that was born with nobility, and she had seen too many influential figures and the youth elites of the snow region. Furthermore, she was a woman and would definitely pay more attention to young men. Previously at the foot of Heaven Devil Mountain, she had felt that Jiang Yi had a special aura. After this time, her curiosity towards Jiang Yi had grown deeper.

A young race member of the Heaven Devil Race, who had been unknown previously, suddenly emerged with power. Furthermore, his strength was terrifyingly powerful, and it was difficult for it not to amaze anyone.

She glanced at Jiang Yi, who was seated quietly, and transmitted a message to an elder beside here: “Elder Mo Qi. Previously, I asked you to investigate this Mo Xing. Is there any problem with him?”

“No problems!”

That elder had also glanced at Jiang Yi and transmitted a message: “Mo Xing’s grandfather was once a chief commander in the race’s combat hall and had exceptional battle merits. His father and First Uncle had both died in combat while his mother passed away due to sickness one year later. Mo Xing is an orphan, and so his character was a little reclusive and never played with other young descendants in the race. He was never too prominent in the past, and I didn’t expect that he was hiding his strength. He actually comprehended five-star and six-star dao patterns. If this kid continues to grow, his future achievements will be unbounded.”

“Six-star dao pattern? That’s right!”

Mo Yao’er recalled about Jiang Yi killing Qiu Ming and the group of Dwarf Race experts with an ability and transmitted a message with bewilderment: “Elder Mo Qi, have you heard of the six-star dao pattern called ‘Jolting Kill through Air’? I don’t think I have heard of it before?”

“I have never heard of it before, too.”

Mo Qi blinked his eyes in a daze and replied: “The world is boundless, and there are laws and quintessences everywhere. There are also too many dao patterns. There are plenty of profound and mystical dao patterns that might never have been comprehended in history. It isn’t a strange thing for Mo Xing to comprehend one, which further proves that he is an exceptional genius. This time after we return, we must report to Patriarch and to nurture him well.

“The snow region’s thousands of ancient races had been reliant on the race’s abilities and special skills but neglected the comprehension of dao pattern. Who would have thought that comprehending dao patterns was the king’s dao? Mo Xing is still young but had understood the true essence of cultivation.”

Mo Yao’er’s eyes widened as she took a few curious glances at Jiang Yi. She paused for a moment and suddenly stood up before walking towards Jiang Yi. When she was in front of Jiang Yi, he then said indifferently, “Mo Xing, follow me.”

Jiang Yi let out a slight sigh. How could he not know that Mo Yao’er and the two elders had been looking at him? He knew that someone would be suspicious of him. After all, the original Mo Xing’s strength was too weak, and he rose too quickly. It would be strange if no one suspected him.

“Yes, Sacred Lady!”

Jiang Yi was currently preparing to make use of the Heaven Devil Race’s power to eradicate the Dwarf Race. He naturally didn’t dare to offend this little female devil. He stood up obediently and followed Mo Yao’er into the tunnel ahead.

The duo left the group and stopped after reaching a small cave. Mo Yao’er who had been walking at the front had suddenly turned around to stare blankly at Jiang Yi while not saying a single thing.

Jiang Yi felt a little embarrassed, could only lower his head, and didn’t dare to look straight at Mo Yao’er. Mo Yao’er stared at Jiang Yi for a moment before the corner of her mouth arched up while she lifted her nose high and said, “Mo Xing, why do you look so ugly?”

“Ah?”

Jiang Yi didn’t expect Mo Yao’er to say such a thing after waiting for such a long time. He had expected Mo Yao’er to inquire about his cultivation, and he had been thinking of an answer to her question. He never expected for Mo Yao’er to ask such a strange question. A woman’s line of thought was truly something that couldn’t be predicted with normal reasoning.

Mo Xing didn’t look too ugly actually. Of course, when compared to Mo Yao’er, he wouldn’t be considered handsome. Jiang Yi rubbed his nose embarrassedly and spoke innocently, “My body, hair, and skin are all inherited from my parents. It isn’t my fault that I look ugly!”

“Pfff!”

Mo Yao’er had never heard of such sarcastic remarks and was amused. She rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Yi with a side glance and asked, “Mo Xing, previously when I lashed at you, why didn’t you retaliate? You have such strength; why do you conceal it? Do you... still hate me?”

Jiang Yi wasn’t angered if Mo Yao’er didn’t mention it. Anyone would be angry if someone had whipped at them for no reason. Jiang Yi naturally didn’t give any angered face and took a glance at Mo Yao’er. “You are the high and mighty Sacred Lady while I—Mo Xing—has been an orphan who didn’t have the love and pamper from my parents. How can I dare to hate you? Concealing my strength isn’t my fault either. My ‘Icebound Thousand Miles’ had only been comprehended recently. My essence force realm is truly only at the fourth stage of Heaven Monarch, and it is not as if you cannot examine it.”

Mo Yao’er was criticized so much that her charming face was flushed red, and she had forgotten about the six-star dao pattern ‘Jolting Kill through Air’. She looked at Jiang Yi and spoke with guilt, “Sorry, Mo Xing! It wasn’t intentional. Who... who asked you to stare at me like that?”

“Not good!”

Jiang Yi saw Mo Yao’er’s shy face and saw a trace of strange expression in her eyes. His heart surged with disturbance as this Mo Yao’er seemed to... have a favorable impression of him? This wasn’t a good sign.

He knew clearly that the Heaven Devil Race’s Patriarch only had one daughter, and that was Mo Yao’er. She was a female heavenly prodigy. Putting aside the snow region’s various races that were eyeing on her, even their own race’s authoritative elders’ sons and grandsons were all hoping to pluck this fresh flower themselves.

If he was to get to close with Mo Yao’er, he would surely be shattered by the open spears and hidden arrows from all directions. His identity might also be exposed. By then, he would have to face the Dwarf Race himself; and all his hard work would be wasted.

Hence, his eyes flickered as he revealed a trace of rapacious and lewd eyes to stare at Mo Yao’er’s perky breast. He then displayed a wicked smile and laughed mischievously. “Sacred Lady is a stunning beauty of the world. All men will be tempted. Thus, you cannot blame me; you can only blame yourself for looking too seductive...”

“How dare you!”

Mo Yao’er had been shamed and infuriated by Jiang Yi’s rude behavior. Her whip flashed and appeared, and she was about to lash at Jiang Yi. This time, Jiang Yi wasn’t planning to suffer a lash for no reason as he silently backed off and spoke with a faint voice, “Sacred Lady is going to beat me again? It is deep into the night. Sacred Lady, better get some early rest. This subordinate will take my leave first!”

“You...”

Jiang Yi’s voice suddenly turned cold, and he backed off firmly, causing Mo Yao’er to be helpless as her whip had stopped. She looked at Jiang Yi’s straight back while her beautiful eyes flickered in the pitch-black cave. Her eyes were filled with complicated expressions and seemingly couldn’t understand what kind of person Jiang Yi was.
