Chapter 1615: Force His Way In
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In reality...!
Jiang Yi was right. The real young masters and young mistresses of prestigious clans in the Heaven Domain did not take part in the search for treasures. The four Supreme Thearch’s clans did not send a single person over. The other top-tier clans did not send anyone either. Only Young Mistress Gongyang, Young Master Dao Feng, and Young Mistress He could really be considered to be from the prestigious clans.
Swish!
One day later, the Poison Spirit floated back. He was very good at spying and collecting intelligence. Nothing that happened outside could escape his ears and eyes. The Poison Spirit cupped his hands and reported, “Young Lord, General, the Demon-Killing Palace has appeared. Many people in Random Star City have also received the news.”
“We will move out in half a day.”
Qi Qingchen decisively gave these orders. Jiang Yi nodded. The Poison Spirit left to find out more about what was happening at the Demon-Killing Palace. Jiang Yi kept holding onto the divine tree leaf as he prepared to seclude himself and realize the Mighty God Technique and Quintessence. Qi Qingchen glanced over and finally could not hold in her curiosity any longer. She asked, “Jiang Yi, why do you always hold onto that leave when you cultivate? What is it good for?”
“Hehe.”
Jiang Yi smiled and then handed the divine tree leaf over to Qi Qingchen. “Focus your heavenly powers and then concentrate. Give it a shot.”
Qi Qingchen looked at it suspiciously and then took it. She channeled her heavenly powers into the divine tree leaf, which then lit up. Then, Qi Qingchen closed her eyes. Very quickly, her eyes widened; and she stuttered, “This... this...”
“Heheh.”
Jiang Yi giggled but did not offer any explanation. Qi Qingchen took a closer look at the divine tree leaf. Then, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Jiang Yi, this is a leaf from that divine tree? That Lord gave it to you?”
“That is right.”
Jiang Yi mumbled and then said, “Don’t ask too many questions. Actually, I don’t know why that person gave me this leaf. I don’t know why she helped me. I don’t even know whether she has left the Purgatory Mystic Realm or she just did not want to see me.”

Qi Qingchen handed the divine tree leaf back to Jiang Yi and then studied him closely. “You have so many secrets up your sleeve. I always feel like I can’t completely understand you.”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi gave Qi Qingchen a mocking look. “I do have a lot of secrets up my sleeves, but... I cannot tell you these secrets. After all, you’re not my woman.”
“Bah!”
Qi Qingchen tutted softly and then glared at Jiang Yi. Angrily, she spat, “Jiang Yi, I am your elder. Watch your words and actions.”
“Elder?”
Jiang Yi had already quit. Indignant, he said, “When my mother became famous, you were just born. Although you later became as famous as my mother—logically, you are her junior. That would mean that we are of the same status. Don’t take advantage of me. Even in your Earth Domain, you are considered a teenager. Why should you become my elder? You’re making yourself sound old. Should I call you Auntie from now on?”
“Auntie...”
Qi Qingchen did not know what to say next. Jiang Yi calling her ‘Auntie’ did make her feel old. In the Earth Domain, she was still a youth indeed. At that moment, she did not know how to respond to Jiang Yi. At last, she turned away in anger, secluding herself and cultivating. She decided not to bother about Jiang Yi any longer.
“Keke!”
Once again, Jiang Yi smiled, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating.
...
The two of them decided to head towards the Demon-Killing Palace after half a day. They had no regard for what was happening outside. When the time was up, the Poison Spirit came in; and the two of them opened their eyes.
“Young Lord, General, the city is not so strictly guarded now. However, the set-up around the Demon-Killing Palace is still very strict. More than a hundred thousand people are surrounding the Demon-Killing Palace. I don’t dare to approach it.”
The Poison Spirit’s report made both Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen frown. They exchanged a meaningful look. As Qi Qingchen looked at Jiang Yi, she said, “Are you confident that you can get in?”
“No problem!”
Jiang Yi answered confidently. “The only problem is how we are going to leave after we get the treasures. Are you confident we can?”
“If my intelligence is correct, there shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Qi Qingchen explained, “It is said that there are many exits in the Demon-Killing Palace. People can teleport out of it whenever they want. Unless our luck is horrible, we can be teleported up to five hundred thousand kilometers away. There also happens to be many King-Ranked martial artists nearby.”
“What are we waiting for then? Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and sent Qi Qingchen into his Chaos Pearl. He and the Poison Spirit activated their Art of Concealment and snuck out of the castle. The city was indeed under less strict surveillance now. There were no restrictions or protections above the city.
Both of them did not leave the city via the main gate. Instead, they flew upward straight towards the Demon-Killing Palace. They met any scouts and patrol troops along the way, and each of them held on to a Mercury Stone. However, Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit did not let these people get close.
They advanced very quickly. Half a day later, they arrived in the vicinity of the Demon-Killing Palace. It was obvious that there were many more scouts here. Every five kilometers, they would meet a group of patrol troops.
The two of them varied their speed accordingly, swerving left and right, but continuously advancing towards the Demon-Killing Palace. An hour later, the two of them shot through tens of layers of people surrounding the Demon-Killing Palace and arrived at the innermost part of the circle. From afar, they could see a great and grandiose palace.
This was a circular, black palace with a radius of about three kilometers. Without a doubt, the space inside was mystical. Otherwise, how could so many treasures be hidden inside such a small area?
From the outside, the palace looked like it was only three stories high. There was also only one gate. Various mystical and strange carvings were engraved on the palace walls. Jiang Yi looked at the glowing golden gate and raised his eyebrows. Outside the gate stood twenty King-Ranked martial artists, lined up neatly. Each of them held onto a weapon and donned battle armor. It was obvious that they were there to prevent him from entering. Alternatively, they could be trying to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
With so many people guarding the gate, it would be impossible for Jiang Yi and the others to enter without them noticing. What’s more, there were only two options: they could either force their way through or lure those people away.
“Poison Spirit, both of us will charge in together later on. When we reach three kilometers from them, activate your Clone Art. Then, enter my Chaos Essence Pearl at once!
At last, Jiang Yi chose to force his way through. There was no way they were going to be able to lure all twenty of them away. Instead, they could get into trouble by attempting to do so. The people with Demon-Killing Pearls had made their way in a long time ago. These people had no right to enter. If they could just get two seconds, they would be able to make it in for sure.

The Poison Spirit’s entire body tensed up so much that he could not even breathe. Jiang Yi waved his hand, and the two of them charged forward like a dart. They were only thirty kilometers away from the gate of the Demon-Killing Palace. If nobody stood there to block them, they would be able to enter the palace within two seconds from where they were.
Thirty kilometers, fifteen kilometers... ten kilometers!
“Poison Spirit!”
Jiang Yi saw an elderly man looking towards them. Without any hesitation, he shouted. The Poison Spirit’s body immediately appeared, cloning itself into hundreds of different bodies. They all charged towards the twenty King-Ranked martial artists in front of the gate.
“Uh?”
The twenty King-Ranked martial artists stiffened. As they saw hundreds of the Poison Spirit’s clones flying towards them with their flutes sticking out, they instinctively attacked. However, their divine senses were suppressed here. Nobody could tell which one was the true body and which one was just an illusion.
Buzz!
The Poison Spirit immediately entered Jiang Yi’s Chaos Essence Pearl. Jiang Yi’s body appeared, his six-colored Merged Flames in his hands. He threw the flames forward and shouted, “Everyone, die!”
Ss, ss!
The twenty people had been distracted by the Poison Spirit’s clones. When Jiang Yi appeared, they were all shocked. However, by the time they thought to attack him, the six-colored Merged Flames had appeared. A wave of heat rolled towards them, scaring them motionless. These flames could burn a King-Ranked martial artist alive. Without any hesitation, they threw themselves towards either side of the gate.
“Not good!”
After they retreated three kilometers, they suddenly realized what had just happened. All of them threw their attacks towards the gate of the Demon-Killing Palace, but Jiang Yi had already activated his Power of Heaven and Earth. His speed had increased significantly. He turned into a phantom and charged into the gate of the Demon-Killing Palace.
Buzz!
As the three of them entered the Demon-Killing Palace, the Poison Spirit and Qi Qingchen felt a strange energy wash over them. Jiang Yi realized what was happening and quickly summoned the Demon-Killing Pearl. Then, three of them were enveloped in the Demon-Killing Palace’s restrictions. They disappeared into the gate.
“Sh*t...”
The twenty King-Ranked martial artists exchanged scared looks, at a loss as to what to do next. They were meant to guard the gate, but Jiang Yi—this baneful existence—had forced his way in. There were tens of young masters and young mistresses in the Demon-Killing Palace. If anything untoward happened, how would they account for their various family clans?
“Quick, send a voice transmission out and report this to the Clan Head!”
Countless voices roared. Everything burst into a flurry of action. Everyone’s expressions looked solemn. They were all afraid that something horrible was going to happen.
