Chapter 1543: Our Husband is in the Higher Domain!

Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu wanted to lead groups to Demon-Buster Valley once again before teleporting to the Purgatory Mystic Realm. This time, the two of them brought many people with them. After all, they had to carry out a thorough investigation. Of course, they were expected to take a long time there. If there were not enough people, how would they fend off the Lunar Beast attacks?

Both sides brought hundreds of Titled Battle Gods with them and took turns to fend off the Lunar Beasts in formation. As they advanced, they kept investigating the path. The two groups easily found the marks that Jiang Yi left behind. At last, they found the divine tree as well. Yet… just like Qi Qingchen and the Poison Spirit, both groups did not manage to locate Jiang Yi. Instead, they only saw the remnants of Sword Emanations Race beings and countless corpses of Lunar Beasts.

After searching the area once through, they found nothing. They only managed to confirm that the divine tree was the last place that Jiang Yi went to. They could not find him or his corpse, but they found his guqin—the exploded guqin. Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu finally concluded that Jiang Yi had died!

If he had not died, why was he not back?

Where could he have gone? The Purgatory Mystic Realm was so frightening. Even the Wintry Sovereign, with his cultivation level, could only remain inside there for a month. Jiang Yi was nowhere near as capable as the Wintry Sovereign. Many people doubted that he would be able to last the full three days inside the mystic realm.

The two groups of people returned, one after another. News spread, causing the Demon-Buster Valley to burst into a flurry of discussion.

Many formidable martial artists who had no feud with Jiang Yi felt sorry. They were upset by the loss of a talent like him. In Higher-Domain terms, Jiang Yi was considered very young. Yet, he could obtain first place in the Wen Fight and caused so much chaos in the domain. He could even battle King-Ranked martial artists and join forces with the Poison Spirit to injure Heavenly King You. This alone made his name known throughout the various domains.

Many other people felt sorrier about the fact that Jiang Yi took his Sword-Emanations-Race-controlling technique with him when he died, without passing the skills down to anyone. There were still hundreds of millions of Sword Emanations Race beings in Sword Emanations Mystic Realm. If they could learn that technique, they would easily be able to form a huge army of Sword Emanations Race beings.

Qi Qingchen stayed in seclusion, and Di Ling’er decided to return to the Earth Emanations Domain. She had come here purely for Jiang Yi. Now that Jiang Yi was dead, Di Ling’er saw no meaning in remaining behind.

What surprised many people was that the Poison Spirit returned home with Di Ling’er. Once this abandoned disciple of the Phantom Race confirmed the news of Jiang Yi’s death, many great family clans extended their hands to him, offering him many benefits in order to recruit him. The Poison Spirit had realized the Divine Spirit Thrust. If he could become a Titled Battle God, anyone below a King-Ranked martial artist would not be his match. If he could become a King-Ranked martial artist, then he could definitely be among the top ten most powerful martial artists in the Earth Domain!

The Poison Spirit rejected all of these offers. He even… rejected an offer from the Yi Clan and decided to return to Earth Emanations Domain together with Di Ling’er. He was prepared to protect the Jiang Yi Prefecture on behalf of Jiang Yi. He wanted to protect Stellarsky Domain, as well as all of Jiang Yi’s loved ones and clansmen.

After the Earth Emanations Sovereign caught wind of this news, he remained in a daze for more than half a day. At last, he said nothing and asked Mo Lingqiu to be dismissed. Mo Lingqiu wanted to ask the Earth Emanations Sovereign whether he wanted to retract the Jiang Yi Prefecture. However, on seeing the state that the Earth Emanations Sovereign was in, he decided not to ask too much just yet.

Jiang Yi Prefecture was bestowed onto Jiang Yi by the Earth Emanations Sovereign. It could be passed down for generations. However, the problem was that Jiang Yi was now dead, and he left no descendants behind. The people whom he left behind in Stellarsky Domain were no different from ants to Mo Lingqiu. Although the Poison Spirit was back and nothing would happen in the short-term—as time went by, people would cause a commotion for sure.

The Earth Emanations Sovereign did not show any intimation, and Mo Lingqiu did not dare to take matters into his own hands either. He decided to leave Jiang Yi Prefecture as it was. At the same time, he gave orders to cover up the news. Nobody was to spread the word that Jiang Yi had fallen.

After the Poison Spirit returned, he did not speak of Jiang Yi at all. Instead, he forcefully took over leadership and became the new Assistant Prefecture Lord of Jiang Yi Prefecture. He had all the power in the palm of his hands now. Although Xiao Hong had complaints about this, the Poison Spirit was the closest person to Jiang Yi. His battle powers were much more powerful than Xiao Hong’s. Of course, the latter could not voice his anger.

…

Time was passing extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed!

Qi Qingchen was out of seclusion. She continued to lead the Fire Phoenix Army out on missions. This time, nobody dared to cause any trouble for her. Instead, the missions that the Fire Phoenix Army received were always the best of the lot, and people were jostling to be recruited by them.

Thanks to the battle in Sword Emanations Mystic Realm, the Fire Phoenix Army rose to fame. Many formidable martial artists secretly respected Qi Qingchen’s method of leading by example and being at the forefront of the army. Not only would they get many more battle merits by joining this army, but they would also be guaranteed safety. Now, nobody dared to mess with the Fire Phoenix Army. Naturally, many more formidable martial artists wanted to rely on them.

Qi Qingchen was doing much better mentally, but her expression was still icy-cold. In ten days, she had completely forgotten about Jiang Yi. Perhaps it was because she harbored no more hope in her heart, that she finally pulled herself together and put on a strong front.

Ten days!

If Jiang Yi was alive, he would be back by now. Given his skill level, he definitely would not have been able to hang in there for so many days. Even ordinary King-Ranked martial artists would not be able to hang on for so long. That was why Qi Qingchen gave up all hope. She could only force herself to forget this entire thing, and forget Jiang Yi.

In ten days, calm was restored in Demon-Buster Valley. The young masters no longer created trouble. Even someone as ferocious as You Tianni was now paralyzed. How would anyone dare to mess around with the Fire Phoenix Army?

The only person who had the abilities to create trouble was the Little Eagle King, but he was low-key. Ordinarily, he would either be leading a team on a mission or keeping to himself in his castle, cultivating.

With her father’s help, Mo Huaisang successfully joined Little Eagle King’s army. It was a pity, however, that the Little Eagle King obviously did not fancy her. Each time Mo Huaisang went out on a mission, she would observe the Little Eagle King’s aggressive moves and posture and watch as he joked and chatted with the other young masters. Yet, she could not make her way into his heart.

Just like that, Jiang Yi’s name was forgotten in the Demon-Buster Army. No one spoke about him at all. It was almost as if a ban had been imposed on mentioning him. People did not want to bring him up; every time they did, the young masters’ heads would hurt. They would all be reminded of the shame that he brought upon them at the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm.

…

Buzz!

At the Earth Emanations Domain, in Jiang Yi Prefecture’s Earth Emanations Sea, atop an ascension platform; a huge altar kept flashing non-stop.

By the time the divine light dissipated, two beautiful women appeared on the altar. Both of them looked incredibly young and carried themselves very well. They had an air of elegance about them which attracted the attention of many people around. Even the tens of Earth Emanations Army soldiers guarding the ascension stage were captivated by their looks.

The two women were dressed in white dresses. One of them was barefooted as if she was a fairy walking out of a forest. The other had a cool air about her like an ice goddess. Once the two of them arrived at the altar, they looked around for a while before their faces drained of color.

“Where is Big Sister Chan? Big Sister Ruoxue, Big Sister Chan is missing. Didn’t she ascend with us? Where did she go?”

The barefooted woman looked panicked. The other icy-cold woman’s expression had a hint of panic on it as well. She fell silent for a while and then turned to one of the Earth Emanations Army soldiers beside the altar. She bowed down, and then asked, “Lords, we ascended with a sister, but she is missing. Lords, could you help us to look around for her?”

“Hehe!”

If they were other people, the Earth Emanations Army soldiers would have asked them to shut up at once. One of the team captains looked at them with pervertedly and said, “It’s easy to look for people, but we’ll have to see if you know how to return the favor.”

“Uh?”

On seeing the tens of Earth Emanations Army soldiers looking at them with greed in their eyes, the two women’s expressions hardened at once. The icy-cold woman looked angry as she said coolly, “Lords, please mind your actions. Our husband is in the Higher Domain.”

“Husband? Hahaha!”

The team captain burst into laughter and mocked, “Your husband ascended by himself and abandoned the two of you; who cares for a husband like that? Beauties, you will have difficulty advancing if you don’t have anyone to depend on in the Higher Domain. You might die easily. For all we know, god bandits might kidnap you and sell you to brothels. Then, you would be living a life worse than death.

“What’s more, the Earth Domain is filled with people. It will be extremely difficult for you to find your husband. He might even be dead by now. Beauties, if you follow me, you will live a life of luxury and comfort. Otherwise… hehe!”
