Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1490: Where Do They Stand?

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi used his heavenly powers to amplify his voice, drawing the attention of the Fire Phoenix Army outside. In a second, more than ten people charged in. However, they did not know Jiang Yi’s identity. Therefore, once they entered, they did not make any moves. Instead, they turned to Qi Yue and Qi Xia.

“Hahaha…”

Qiu Ren saw that the Fire Phoenix Army did not dare to make any moves and thought they were afraid. He immediately laughed mockingly. “Do something. What, are you afraid?”

Qi Yue and Qi Xia exchanged a meaningful glance, hesitating to give any orders. After all, the Heavenly Desert Domain was one of the Ten Great Domains. The Qiu Clan’s Clan Head was a King-Ranked martial artist, at that. Qiu Ren, being the first young master, represented the Qiu Clan.

Jiang Yi’s gaze turned hard as he turned to look at Qi Yue and Qi Xia. In a cool tone, he asked, “Am I not the Inspector-General? Does my word count for anything? What did the General instruct the two of you to do?”

Qi Yue and Qi Xia once again exchanged a meaningful look. The former gritted her teeth and said, “The General has given orders that while she is away from the army camp, we are to take the Inspector-General’s instructions.”

“Take them down!”

Jiang Yi shouted explosively. The Poison Spirit reacted immediately. He made ten clones of himself, each one of them holding a green flute. At frightening speed, they all shot towards Qiu Ren. Qiu Ren and his two other companions did not even dare to react. They only saw the figures fill the space around them. Before they knew it, the flashing-green flute was already being pressed against Qiu Ren’s neck.

Swish! Swish!

The formidable martial artists from the Fire Phoenix Army who had just rushed in all moved at the same time. All of them drew their weapons to hold down the two other formidable martial artists from the Qiu Clan. Cold killing intent overwhelmed the three men from the Qiu Clan. The Poison Spirit’s killing intent was especially intense. Qiu Ren became absolutely certain that if he were to do anything rash, he would be executed immediately.

Buzz!

In an instant, Jiang Yi removed the Silver Demon Mask from his face with a single hand. At the same time, his body seemed to change slightly. He recovered his true looks. Expressionlessly, he stared at Qiu Ren and said, “Young Master Qiu, my surname is Jiang, and my name is Yi—just a single word. I am the Great Minister of Public Works of the Earth Emanations Domain’s Demon-Killing Pavilion. Not long ago, I was given the title, Battle God Jiang Yi. Then, I was made the Inspector-General of the Fire Phoenix Army by General Qi.

“Today, it is not the General who is not having any regard for you, but Jiang Yi! At the same time, I hope you will tell your fellow young masters that if they want to join the Fire Phoenix Army, they should wait obediently in the new barracks. At sunset, I will select the people I want from there. As long as you meet the requirements, you can join the army. Otherwise, I will not care for you! Are you… making your own way there now? Or should I get someone to throw you into the new barracks?”

“Jiang Yi? So it’s you!”

Qiu Ren probably did not go to the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament earlier, but he had heard of the name ‘Jiang Yi’. His eyes turned cold as metal, as he glared at Jiang Yi and laughed mirthlessly. “Very good, you have the guts! Let’s go…”

The Poison Spirit retreated, and the rest of the people kept their own weapons as well. Qiu Ren and his two other companions left in a huff. Jiang Yi waved his hand, asking the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army to go back to where they came from. Then, he leaned back nonchalantly. Qi Yue and Qi Xia, however, looked extremely worried. Qi Yue waited for a while but finally could not stand it any longer, and asked, “Lord Inspector-General, are you sure… it’s good to do this?”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi shrugged and said, “Didn’t the General need me to do this? Otherwise, why would she need an Inspector-General? She could not afford to offend these young masters herself so I have no choice but to step in on her behalf.”

“Oh.”

Qi Yue and Qi Xia exchanged a meaningful glance. Jiang Yi seemed to be absolutely right. Qi Qingchen asked Jiang Yi to take this role because she wanted results. With Jiang Yi at the front line, Qi Qingchen would not have to completely fall out with the other young masters. At the very least, they would not be so awkward when they met again.

“But…”

Qi Yue still felt slightly worried. Jiang Yi waved his hand aggressively. “Alright, you can go back. Don’t worry… our young mistress is very intelligent. She’s considered very good. Nobody from the Demon-Buster Army would dare to mess with her. We don’t have to be afraid when we go out. As for offending these young masters… I don’t give a d*mn at all! I, Jiang Yi, have many enemies as it is. Where do they stand?”

“Yes!”

Qi Yue and Qi Xia bowed down. Now, their view of Jiang Yi had changed completely. Although they had not seen Jiang Yi’s display of his skills for themselves, at least they could be sure that he had the guts. There was no need for them to doubt. Once Qiu Ren spread the word about what happened today, Jiang Yi would immediately become the common enemy of the young masters who have set their sights on Qi Qingchen.

How many young masters had their sights on Qi Qingchen? How many great powers did they represent? Qi Yue and Qi Xia could not count them all. Jiang Yi had become the common enemy of nearly every great family clan in the region.

Ordinary people would be tortured to death by those young masters without anyone outside knowing what happened. They perhaps could forget about ever showing their face in public again. However, Qi Qingchen had mentioned before that Jiang Yi had a more complicated background than this. Qi Yue and Qi Xia finally decided to stop thinking about these matters. After all, they were Jiang Yi’s problems to solve now.

…

Unsurprisingly to Qi Yue and Qi Xia, once Qiu Ren returned, the entire Demon-Buster Army became chaotic.

More and more young masters had returned during this time in a chain reaction. Since Qi Qingchen came back, the Little Eagle King followed. Since the Little Eagle King followed, many other young mistresses came as well. Since many young mistresses came, many young masters followed.

The Demon-Buster Army’ Camp became something like a second Ten Thousand Domain Tournament. The various family clans were represented inside the camp. The various young masters and young mistresses there could come and go as they pleased. They could forge connections with high-level people from the various great family clans, flirt around, and even train. Why not enjoy themselves while they could?

Thus, the Demon-Buster Valley was exceptionally lively during this time. The young masters and young mistresses kept holding gatherings and kept mingling among one another. Qiu Ren spread the word about Jiang Yi, causing many of the other young masters’ blood to boil. As a result, Mo Huaisang and Di Ling’er became more awkward because… to everyone else, the person behind Jiang Yi was the Earth Emanations Sovereign.

What did the young masters of the great family clans care about most?

Their reputation!

If one caused their reputation to suffer, they would retaliate by taking away his or her life. If this was not the Demon-Buster Valley, perhaps everyone would be charging towards Fire Phoenix Army Camp to kill Jiang Yi.

A group of young masters gathered together, cursing and shouting at thin air before beginning their discussion about how to rescue their reputation.

This group of young masters could not do well at anything serious but did exceptionally well in plotting against others. Very quickly, two plans formed. A few young masters were to act on it and start to set up the plan. The remaining people were to sit back and watch the drama unfold.

Within four hours, the drama had begun!

Four hours later, a bald youth dressed in purple walked out of a huge castle. This young man’s face could be described using one word: demonic!

He had an imposing presence, his face was very handsome, and his head was bald. There was a red tattoo on his forehead, which stretched all the way to the back of his head. This tattoo was one of a strange Chaos Beast, which resembled a lizard. The man had on a silver earring on his left earlobe. As he walked out, they heard a series of crisp sounds. His eyes were long and narrow, and they were lit up. One look at him and people would be able to tell that he was not someone to be messed with. His entire body emanated an evil aura.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

This young man led a group of other young men and guards behind him. In total, there were about forty to fifty of them. With big strides, he walked towards the Fire Phoenix Army. The entire Demon-Buster Valley burst into discussion once again. This young man was way too famous in Demon-Buster Valley. Many people thought that they could not offend him, even if they had to offend the General by doing so.

The young man’s surname was You, and his name was Tianni. He was the only grandson of a King-Ranked commander in Demon-Buster Valley. He was also the commonly-recognized, first-ranked, wastrel playboy in Demon-Buster Valley. He loved being aggressive, arguing, and violence. Still, this man was very naturally talented. His skills were not far off from the Little Eagle King, and he was deeply loved by his grandfather. Any of the Ten Great Generals would get a headache just looking at him.

It was obvious that You Tianni had been provoked by people and was going to Fire Phoenix Army to cause destruction!
