My Fury Will Burn The Heavens

Swish! Swish!

Two King-Ranked martial artists flew over at once, obstructing Yun Bing’s way. In a cool tone, they said, “Young Mistress Bing, this way!”

Yun Bing glared at Heavenly King Yun in fury but did not say anything more. Heavenly King Yun had already taken this step. This meant that he was angered. Although he normally doted on Yun Bing, she would not dare to push him too far once he was angry.

“Sigh…”

Yun Bing glanced at Jiang Yi, and then her expression darkened as she turned and stalked off. After walking a few steps, she sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi, saying: “Jiang Yi, if the situation becomes worse, just kill your way out. Take it that I have let you down this time.”

When Gu Jiangshan appeared outside Jiang Yi’s castle, Yun Bing already received the message. However, once she realized that it was the Military Law Hall taking action, she decided not to come down immediately. Instead, she sent a voice transmission to Commander Liang, telling him to allow the people from the Military Law Hall to take Jiang Yi to Nine Yang City.

The Military Law Hall had no right to arrest Jiang Yi. Yun Bing wanted to take this chance to make life difficult for the Mu Clan. She did not expect that they would be one step ahead of her and that Dao Leng would be hiding in the city.

If another ordinary elder from the Dao Clan had come in place of Dao Leng, Yun Bing would not have been too concerned. She would be confident of protecting Jiang Yi. However, since Dao Leng was here, all the Heavenly Kings were immediately alerted. At that level, she had no right to speak at all. In fact, she had only gotten two sentences in before Heavenly King Yun threw her out.

Yun Bing left, but Jiang Yi remained rooted where he was, not saying a single word. However, he was prepared to attack at any time. He was never one to sit back and wait to die. Even if he were to die, he had to die fighting.

Heavenly King Yun did not say anything either. Heavenly King Mu, all the more, remained in his seat, with no intention to offer an opinion.

The situation could not have been more awkward. A Heavenly King seated next to Dao Leng spoke up. “Cold Thearch, I understand your frustration. All of us are pained to know that Young Master Dao Feng has died, too. If Jiang Yi had not joined the Nine Yang Army, we would not say a thing and allow you to take him away.

“However, now that Jiang Yi has joined the Nine Yang Army and become a Staff Captain—if we allowed you to take him away, how would we answer to the tens of millions of soldiers in the Nine Yang Army? Who else would dare to join our army in the future?”

This Heavenly King was quite cryptic in his speech, but his underlying meaning was clear. Logic was on his side. If they allowed Jiang Yi to leave so easily, how could the Nine Yang Army preserve their reputation?

If they allowed Jiang Yi to be arrested this time, they would have to give up Li Yi next and then Chen Yi. Would the Dao Clan be able to arrest whoever they wish from now on? What’s more, Jiang Yi was a Staff Captain. How would the ordinary soldiers still have any security if Dao Leng was allowed to take even a Staff Captain away?

On hearing this Heavenly King’s words, Jiang Yi felt slightly relieved. However, Dao Leng’s next words made him tense up again: “You’re right, the Heavenly Kings are indeed put in a spot this time. However, we have to take things on a case-by-case basis, don’t we? Jiang Yi is sadistic, and he is infamous throughout the Earth Domain. He’s definitely a devil. I even have information on him that the Heavenly Kings can study. They are all facts, not exaggerations.”

Dao Leng’s ring lit up, and a few wooden slips appeared in his hands. He distributed the wooden slips to the various Heavenly Kings and explained in a low voice, “Jiang Yi had not ascended for long, but tens of millions of people have already died in his hands. You remember the Divine Yang Race, don’t you? This clan has almost been completely wiped out by Jiang Yi.

“Someone who has ascended less than a year ago is already daring to go on killing sprees. Jiang Yi even burned my nephew Dao Feng—who is noble and honest—alive. The Heavenly Wind Armor that Jiang Yi is donning now belonged to my nephew.

“Everyone! What has become of our human race? The Netherworld Race is pushing us up against the wall, and we are facing the risk of extinction. This is the time when we need the most talents in the world. It cannot be denied that Jiang Yi is a talent, but with such a perverted personality and such an urge to kill wipe out individuals and entire clans, are we sure we can still keep him?

“Keeping him around would only cause more of our race to perish. The human race will descend into chaos. Just a while ago, he alone caused a huge commotion in the Azure Region. If the Netherworld Race had taken the opportunity to assassinate us at the time, one can only imagine what the consequences would have been…”

“Not only did Jiang Yi kill my nephew in the Demon-Killing Palace, but he even sadistically killed many other disciples of the various great family clans: the Gongyang Clan, the Liang Clan, the Han Clan, and the Li Clan… disciples of all these clans perished in Jiang Yi’s hands. You just need to hand over one man to appease many other great family clans. All of us will be thankful to the Heavenly Kings…”

Dao Leng was very enthusiastic and logical, sincere and humble. The third most powerful man of the Dao Clan was taking such a humble posture. He was really showing a lot of respect for the Heavenly Kings. On seeing the information he provided, everyone fell silent.

A moment later, Heavenly King Mu finally spoke. His blurry gaze focused on the wooden slip in his hands as he asked, “Jiang Yi, it says here that you killed Heavenly King You of the Demon-Buster Army. Is that true?”

Jiang Yi pondered for a few seconds. Then, without explaining at all, he nodded and said, “True!”

Heavenly King Mu continued, “It says here that you killed millions of people in the Divine Yang Mystic Realm. Is that true?”

“True.”

“While in the Purgatory Mystic Realm, you killed many talented young masters of various great family clans. Is that true?”

“True.”

“In the Chaos Sea, you killed a King-Ranked martial artist of the Liang Clan and burned over two thousand people from tens of great family clans. Is that true?”

“True.”

“You killed Dao Feng in the Demon-Killing Palace, along with many King-Ranked bodyguards from various clans. Is that true?”

“True.”contemporary romance

“You killed a few King-Ranked martial artists at Ethereal Spirit Island. Is that true?”

“True.”

“You took Dao Feng’s Divine Escape Talisman and escaped to the Heaven Domain. You then went on a killing spree in the Azure Region and killed many soldiers at the same time. Is that true?”

“That’s all true!”

Heavenly King Mu paused here and then looked up a Jiang Yi. “Then, why did you join the Nine Yang Army? Did you want to use the army to avoid being hunted down?”

“Yes!”

Jiang Yi nodded, answering honestly. “Someone once told me that the Dao Clan is very powerful and influential and that if I join the Nine Yang Army, I probably will be able to survive. That’s why I decided to join the Nine Yang Army. The person also said… the Nine Yang Army is the most powerful and skillful in the world. It was the army closest to the Heavenly Thearch and one that best protects its soldiers. That was why I joined!”

Jiang Yi’s last two sentences caused the Heavenly Kings’ eyes to light up, but Heavenly King Mu remained expressionless. He looked around at the other Heavenly Kings and asked, “What do the rest of you think? Only a few of us are here to manage these affairs now. I want to hear all your opinions.”

The Heavenly King who spoke first shook his head and said, “I don’t think we should hand him over.”

The Heavenly King seated next to him said, “If the report is true, Jiang Yi is not suited to remain in the Nine Yang Army.”

“Hand him over!”

Another Heavenly King said. However, the last of them shook his head and said, “I have no opinion.”

The four Heavenly Kings had already spoken. Heavenly King Mu turned to Heavenly King Yun and asked, “Big Brother Yun, what do you think?”

“Hand him over my ass.”

Heavenly King Yun laughed mirthlessly and looked up at Dao Leng. “Dao Leng, don’t say that I am not showing you any regard. No matter what Jiang Yi did before or what feud he has with your Dao Clan, he has already joined our Nine Yang Army. That makes him one of us. You want to take him away? Forget about it. You aside… even if Dao Nù were here, it would be of no use. Men, send our guest!”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi was astonished. At first, he thought that his fate would be decided by the votes. He did not think that Heavenly King Yun would be so aggressive and even protect him. This was such peremptory behavior: Yun Bing must have inherited this. That was why she was so shrewd.

Dao Leng was stunned as well. He had already humbled himself and gave such a long speech. Heavenly King Mu had also asked so many questions. All of that had gone to waste now. One sentence from Heavenly King Yun threw all of that aside.

“You…”

He jumped to his feet, but he did not know what to say.

Just as he found himself in a spot, a cold voice sounded from outside. A humpbacked elderly man floated into the hall like a ghost. The guards outside did not even manage to see him clearly before he presented himself in the hall. He looked straight at Heavenly King Yun and laughed mirthlessly. “Number Two of the Yun Clan, you said it would be of no use even if Dao Nù were here. What about me?”

Buzz!

Heavenly King Mu and company’s eyes widened at once. Dao Leng quickly turned around and stiffened. Then, he bowed and said, “Father, you are finally here.”

“Father?”

Jiang Yi straightened his back and turned around to look at the humpback elder. Was Dao Leng’s father the Azure Supreme Thearch’s saber-bearer, Dao Nu?
