Chapter 1689 - It’s A Small World



Chapter 1689: It’s A Small World

The Military Law Hall’s castle was located at the side of a city plaza, in the middle of the mystic realm. All around the city plaza, more than ten tall, imposing castles stood. They looked different from the castles that Jiang Yi and the others lived in. These castles belonged to each of the ten Great General Lords. The remaining castles also acted as the workplaces of the special departments.

Jiang Yi followed Gu Xichao and the others into the Military Law Hall, attracting lots of attention as they went. After all, the Military Law Hall was special in nature. Ordinary people would not make it back out after entering. What’s more, Jiang Yi was a Staff Captain from the Flying Feather Army. Many people could tell there was a different aura about him.

The Flying Feather Command belonged to the Yun Clan. Many Great General Lords were from the Yun Clan as well. Yun Bing had already been classified as the future successor of the Yun Clan. Who would dare to touch anyone from the Flying Feather Army?

Even if someone really did defy military laws, the most the Military Law Hall would be expected to do was send a voice transmission to Yun Bing so that she could deal with it personally. If there was nothing wrong with Gu Xichao’s head, why would he take the risk and offend Yun Bing? Did he want to forget about making a name for himself in the Flying Feather Command?

The strangest thing was…

Many soldiers realized that something was amiss. The ten Great General Lords were all not around in the Flying Feather Command today. All of them had gone to the Nine Yang Army. Ordinary Senior Commanders and Generals would not dare to interfere in the Military Law Hall’s business. Since even the Flying Feather Army’s people did not appear, they felt even more fearful of speaking up.

All in all, there was one word to describe that day: evil!

Things looked evil in every area. There was no need for guessing; the great family clans must have been behind everything happening today. It was even likely that the great family clans were struggling for power behind the scenes, and Jiang Yi—this mere Staff Captain—was but a pawn in the entire game.

The situation in the Military Law Hall was even stranger.

Gu Xichao sat at the desk and gazed at Jiang Yi for a long while. Finally, in a cool tone, he asked, “Jiang Wuming, do you plead guilty?”

Jiang Yi felt confused. Calmly, he asked, “I don’t know what crime I committed.”

Gu Xichao answered in a low voice, “Someone reported that your name and identity are fake. Your real name is Jiang Yi, and you are a devil, wicked beyond redemption. You snuck into the Nine Yang Army and plotted to cause chaos here. Is that true?”

“Keke!”

The corners of Jiang Yi’s lips curled upwards in a mocking smile. He threw a bemused look at Gu Xichao and said, “Lord Gu, has there been a mistake? Whether I am who you say I am aside—even if… this is true, it should be dealt with by the Inspector-General Hall, right? This seems to be outside your job scope. The Military Law Hall should only be concerned with enforcing the military laws. Lord Gu, which military law have I broken?”

Everything that he guessed before this was true. The mastermind behind all of this was the Mu Clan. However, this was the Flying Feather Command, and the Mu Clan had no power or say in here. Mu Heyu could not activate the Inspector-General Hall. All he could do was get Gu Xichao to act by force.

Gu Xichao’s expression remained unchanging as he shouted coolly, “I am asking you a question. All you need to do is answer me honestly. Are you Jiang Yi? If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I can charge you with keeping secrets from a superior.”

“Yes!”

Since things had already deteriorated to such a stage, Jiang Yi saw no point in hiding the facts any longer. Many important characters in the Flying Feather Command likely already knew his true identity. He quickly admitted, “That’s right. I am Jiang Yi. However, I am not a devil, wicked beyond redemption. I only joined the Nine Yang Army to help in killing the Netherworld Race. Since when have I plotted against this army?”

“Uh…”

There were tens of people in the Military Law Hall. All of them immediately became shocked. Even the people outside, who were listening in the hearing, broke into discussion. They did not think that Jiang Wuming would turn out to be the famous Jiang Yi. He was an influential figure who was ruthless enough to even kill someone like Dao Feng.

“Very good!”

A cold smile appeared on Gu Xichao’s face. Suddenly, he shouted, “Men, arrest Jiang Yi! Send him to Nine Yang City’s Military Law Hall Headquarters. Let Lord Cheng deal with him.”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi laughed mockingly. Gu Xichao was not even bothering to pin a charge on him before transferring him to the Dao Clan? He did not move; neither did he try to attack Gu Xichao. Instead, he stood calmly in place and waited for Commander Liang to send him a voice transmission.

Indeed, Commander Liang quickly sent a voice transmission: “Go with them. Don’t worry, we will follow you all the way. Young Mistress is in Nine Yang City. Nothing big will happen to you.”

Yun Bing!

Jiang Yi felt peace in his heart. It looked like Yun Bing was already aware that this would happen. She had probably gone forward to prepare in advance. Was she remaining hidden because she was afraid that the matter would be blown up? Was she strategizing from within Nine Yang City?

No, wait…

As Jiang Yi pondered this, doubts surfaced in his mind. What if the Yun Clan and Mu Clan strategized against one another and chose to sacrifice his life? If great family clans could give up even their very own when plotting against one another, why would they hesitate to sacrifice an outsider like him?

“Let’s go!”

At last, Jiang Yi decided to go to Nine Yang City. If he defied the Military Law Hall at this time, he would definitely be at fault. People would easily be able to find an excuse to kill him on the spot. If he went out and discovered something was amiss, at least he would be able to try and escape immediately.

Two Titled God Thearchs walked towards him and were just about to seal his divine core when Jiang Yi shouted, “I can go with you to Nine Yang City, but can I make my own way there, Lord Gu? If you ask these two to drag me there, I would lose my reputation. Since you know that I am Jiang Yi, you should know my temper very well. Don’t take this too far, or it will not end well for everyone…”

Gu Xichao looked into Jiang Yi’s determined eyes and hesitated. In actual fact, he was being forced into this situation today. How else would he dare to go against Yun Bing? Of course, Jiang Yi’s reputation for being ruthless was known to him. If he pushed Jiang Yi too far and forced him to react in anger, Gu Xichao did not feel confident that he would be able to fend himself from Jiang Yi’s wrath.

He pondered for a moment and said through gritted teeth, “Jiang Yi, go to Nine Yang City obediently. Then, all of us will be alright. Don’t make my job too difficult.”

“It’s good enough!”

Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, “If you show me respect, I will show you the same. You are just acting under orders. Even if I seek revenge, I would not drag you down. Let’s go.”

“What a character.”

Gu Xichao nodded subtly and led Jiang Yi out of the Military Law Hall, straight towards a Teleportation Formation. However, the moment they arrived at the Teleportation Formation, Commander Liang and another Senior Commander flew towards them. When he spotted Gu Xichao and the others, Commander Liang smiled and said, “You’re going out? We’re going to Nine Yang City on a mission as well. Let’s teleport together.”

Gu Xichao could tell that Commander Liang and the other Senior Commander were there to protect Jiang Yi. However, he chose not to say anything. The order he received was to bring Jiang Yi to the Military Law Hall in Nine Yang City. There was no need for him to get involved in anything else. Since Jiang Yi was being so cooperative now, he wanted to avoid getting into trouble as far as possible.

The Teleportation Formation’s light flashed, and the group appeared in the Nine Yang Valley. The moment they appeared in Nine Yang Valley, Jiang Yi and Commander Liang activated their divine senses and scanned the surroundings for signs of enemies. It was almost as if they were afraid that formidable martial artists would be lying in hiding, waiting to ambush them.

Unepected by the three of them, the Nine Yang Valley was extremely quiet. The group entered one of the Teleportation Formations, and teleported directly to Nine Yang City.

Buzz!

The Teleportation Formation in Nine Yang City lit up. Jiang Yi and the rest of the group congealed in the Teleportation Formation.

The moment Jiang Yi appeared, at least ten powerful divine senses swept over him. Jiang Yi looked around, and his expression hardened at once. He saw one familiar person: the Commander of the Dao Clan’s Lion Dragon Army. He was the King-Ranked martial artist who could shoot out tens of millions of rattans from his scepter.

“Hahaha!”

The Commander of the Lion Dragon Army burst into laughter as his gaze met Jiang Yi’s. From afar, he shouted, “It’s a small world, Jiang Yi. Back then, you escaped the Azure Region with the help of someone. Today, where do you intend to escape to?”

“It’s a small world indeed!”

A cold voice sounded from within one of the castles. Then, a figure shot up into the sky like a dart. An aura as overpowering as mountains enveloped Jiang Yi. A middle-aged, handsome man floated in midair as he faced Jiang Yi. Laughing mirthlessly, he said, “Jiang Yi, we meet again.”

Dao Leng was in Nine Yang City as well!
