Fury Towards The Burning Heaven-Chapter 1690 - Men, Arrest Yun Bing!

The moment Dao Leng appeared, Jiang Yi felt like he was in critical danger. If it were ordinary King-Ranked martial artists, perhaps he would not feel this nervous. However, Dao Leng was a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist. One mistake, and Jiang Yi could perish here today.

Buzz!

His Heavenly Wind Armor appeared at once. At the same time—in a flash, his mummy appeared as well. He quickly injected the Power of Heaven and Earth into the mummy, causing it to reach out and hide Jiang Yi in the palm of its hand. It was only then that he felt a strange sense of security. With this mummy, Dao Leng could not kill him with just a single blow. There was a chance he would be able to survive.

“Jiang Yi, don’t do anything!”

A voice transmission sounded in Jiang Yi’s head. It was Yun Bing’s voice. Jiang Yi activated his divine senses to look where the voice was coming from. In a castle, he spotted Yun Bing.

Nine Yang City was extremely big. The city plaza where the Teleportation Formations were located alone was as big as one city in the Earth Domain. At that moment, there were plenty of martial artists in the city plaza. There were a total of a hundred thousand soldiers from the Nine Yang Army, dressed in uniform armor.

The city plaza was dead silent. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Dao Leng, who was in midair, and Jiang Yi, who was hiding in the palm of the mummy’s hand. The mummy itself resembled a Godfiend. Many people watched them with bated breath.

Jiang Yi’s name shook many people in the crowd. Not long ago—because Jiang Yi caused so much commotion in the Azure Region, Nine Yang City had to close off their Teleportation Formation which led to the Earth Domain. Jiang Yi was a familiar name to many of them.

At that moment—seeing Jiang Yi hide in the palm of the mummy’s hand, the crowd felt like he deserved his reputation. The mummy was emitting a terrifying aura, which caused even Commander Liang and Gu Xichao to feel suppressed. Gu Xichao secretly gave thanks that he did not do anything rash to Jiang Yi earlier; otherwise, he probably would have been dead by now. This mummy looked like it could kill him easily.

“Hmph, what are you doing?”

A cool voice broke through the crowd, breaking the silence in the city plaza. A King-Ranked martial artist in charge of guarding the Teleportation Formation scanned both Dao Leng and Jiang Yi and said, “Cold Thearch, Jiang Yi, you’re not planning to fight in Nine Yang City, are you?”

Buzz! Buzz!

Countless soldiers on the city plaza whipped out their weapons as if ready to fight the enemy. Nine Yang City was built by the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch. A huge statue of the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch stood in the middle of the city plaza. People were forbidden from fighting inside the city. The Nine Yang Army only had one military law to follow: if people fought in the Nine Yang City—no matter who it was, the Nine Yang Army was to kill them without hesitation.

“General Jiang, you are mistaken!”

The overpowering aura around Dao Leng’s body immediately dissipated as he smiled subtly. “The Heavenly Thearch’s statue stands in the city. How would I dare to desecrate it? I came here just to arrest Jiang Yi. I hope that your army would hand this devil over to me. The Dao Clan will be very thankful to you.”

“Hehe…”

A loud, crisp sound echoed throughout the city plaza. Yun Bing appeared in midair, her beautiful face looking ice-cold. She faced the Cold Thearch as she said, “Cold Thearch, Jiang Yi is the Staff Captain of my Flying Feather Army. It seems a bit ridiculous that you expect me to hand him over with just a single word from you.”

“It’s Young Mistress Yun Bing.”

Dao Leng’s expression remained unchanging. He did not engage with Yun Bing in conversation. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly and said, “This is not the place for us to talk. Why don’t we go to your Commanders-in-Chief’s Department? Are the thirty-six Heavenly Kings around? Dao Leng wishes to see them.”

“Everyone, come in. What are you doing outside here?”

An elderly voice was heard as the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Nine Yang Army dropped on one knee. “Greetings, Heavenly King Mu.”

“Thank you, Heavenly King Mu.”

Dao Leng cupped his hands and then flew towards the biggest castle in the north. Yun Bing shot Jiang Yi a look, hesitated for two seconds, and then sent him a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, let’s go to the Commanders-in-Chief Department first. I did not know that Dao Leng was hidden in the city, but don’t worry. It won’t be so easy for Dao Leng to take you away. I will help you. Don’t make any rash moves in the city, or no one will be able to help you.”

Jiang Yi’s expression was extremely dark. Once again, he faced a dilemma. The one who spoke was Heavenly King Mu and not Heavenly King Yun. The Mu Clan had obviously struck a deal with the Dao Clan, or Mu Heyu would not have come after Jiang Yi. If he went into the Commanders-in-Chief Department, he would surely be in trouble.

However, if he did not listen to those orders, he would have to leave Nine Yang City by force. If that was the case—not only would he have to fight off Dao Leng, but he might also have to fight off the thirty-six Heavenly Kings. After all, fighting in Nine Yang City was being disrespectful to the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch!

At last…

Jiang Yi turned to the huge statue in the middle of the city and gazed at the blurry face. He saw the eyes of the statue, full of love, kindness, and wisdom. Then, he chose not to deal any attacks.

The Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch was the sovereign over the human race. He represented their beloved teacher. To deal any attack in Nine Yang City was to utterly disrespect him. Unless Jiang Yi had absolutely no other choice, he would choose not to do so.

He kept his mummy and took big strides towards the huge castle in the north. Commander Liang and Gu Xichao followed closely behind him. The people in front of him immediately parted, letting him pass through. They watched as Jiang Yi walked toward the Commanders-in-Chief Department, step by step.

There were one thousand soldiers outside the Commanders-in-Chief Department. All of them were Titled God Thearchs. They watched Jiang Yi approach them, their gazes containing a hint of warmth and admiration. No matter what, Jiang Yi belonged to the Nine Yang Army. At that moment, he was walking into the lion’s den alone. His guts and bravery were worthy of their respect.

Yun Bing was waiting outside the castle. She waved her hand and said, “Jiang Yi, come in with me. Everyone else, wait outside.”

Jiang Yi followed Yun Bing into the Commanders-in-Chief Department. The moment they entered, they saw a corridor. Both of them walked through the long corridor and finally entered a huge hall. The hall was extremely big. There were ten seats set up in front of the hall, and thirteen seats set up along each of the sides. There were thirty-six seats in total.

However, there were not many people seated on those thirty-six seats. Instead, only six people were there: two people on either side of the hall and two people in front. All of them had white hair and white beards.

Are they Heavenly King Yun and Heavenly King Mu, ranked second and third among the Heavenly Kings respectively?

Jiang Yi looked in front and saw two elders seated on the second and third chairs in front. Since there were thirty-six chairs in total, they must have had their own allocated positions. Jiang Yi guessed that they had to sit according to their ranks.

“Greetings, Commander-in-Chief Yun, Commander-in-Chief Mu, Commander-in-Chief He, Commander-in-Chief Qin…”

Indeed, the moment Yun Bing entered the hall, she bowed. Jiang Yi followed suit. He could subtly feel the six people’s aura, and a startled look appeared on his face. These six Heavenly Kings were indeed Pseudo Thearch-Ranked. Even the four people on either side of the hall had an aura similar to Dao Leng’s. Heavenly King Yun and Heavenly King Mu’s aura, however, were much stronger than Dao Leng’s.

Dao Leng sat on the first seat on the left side of the hall. Once Yun Bing and Jiang Yi had finished paying their greetings, he said matter-of-factly, “I’m sure the Heavenly Kings are in the know of what has happened over the past few days. Jiang Yi killed my nephew—Dao Feng—and massacred tens of thousands of people in the Azure Region. What’s more, he killed many clansmen of the great family clans back in the Chaos Sea.

“After he left the Azure Region, he used a fake identity to join your Nine Yang Army. There is no need to say what his motive was. I think all you Heavenly Kings are aware that my clan’s Clan Head has sworn in anger to kill Jiang Yi. The Azure Supreme Thearch has also given his consent through his silence. I hope that you Heavenly Kings would show my Dao Clan some face on this matter.”

“You can’t!”

Since Dao Leng brought up the Azure Supreme Thearch, Yun Bing became anxious. She cupped her hands and said, “Jiang Yi is the Staff Captain of my Flying Feather Army. If we hand him over just because someone says so, how can the Nine Yang Army still hold its head up high in front of people? The Nine Yang Army has always been a formidable presence—”

“Shut up!”

A cold voice shouted. It was not Heavenly King Mu who spoke, but Heavenly King Yun. His cold gaze fell on Yun Bing as he shouted, “You are in no position to speak here. Be dismissed!”

“Commander-in-Chief Yun…”

Yun Bing wanted to speak again, but Heavenly King Yun suddenly waved his hand, causing a breeze to blow towards them. Yun Bing was carried by the wind, straight out of the main hall. Once again, Heavenly King Yun shouted, “Men, arrest Yun Bing!”

Sh*t…

Jiang Yi’s expression immediately changed. Even Heavenly King Yun was acting this way. The situation today would likely end in a battle to the death.
