My Fury Will Burn The Heavens

When Mu Heyu said these things, he glanced at Jiang Yi. There was a mocking glint in his eyes. Jiang Yi guessed that even if Mu Heyu was not sure of his identity, he was at least seventy-percent certain.

He had only been in Nine Yang Army for a few days, and the Commanders-in-Chief already knew. That meant that the news was not leaked from within. It must be someone outside who knew that he was in the Nine Yang Army. The Dao Clan must have been placing pressure on the Commanders-in-Chief, or he would not be so concerned about these small matters. It was not a bad thing that he had joined the Nine Yang Army. The Commanders-in-Chief of the Nine Yang Army would probably be happy to have one more aggressive and formidable soldier.

Did He Nongying betray me?

A thought flashed across Jiang Yi’s mind, but he dispelled his suspicions at once. If He Nongying wanted to betray him, she did not need to wait until now. She could have easily destroyed him in the Azure Region or Qilin City.

The Dao Clan’s disciples must have made this guess based on He Nongying’s actions and the various sources of news in the Qilin City. They were probably unsure; that was why they needed Mu Heyu and the others to investigate further. Then, they would just need the Nine Yang Army to hand him over.

Things had already turned this ugly, and yet, Mu Heyu did not single him out. There was no reason for Jiang Yi to step out either. All he could do was remain expressionless and stand still.

Yun Bing’s expression immediately reverted to normal again. She glared at Mu Heyu coolly and said, “The Commander-in-Chief? It must have been your grandfather who gave these orders. Mu Heyu, I know that you’ve always hated me. If you want to take revenge on me in the future, don’t play tricks like that. Otherwise, even if I have to get the Commanders-in-Chief involved, I will finish you.”

Yun Bing stalked out of the castle in anger. Jiang Yi and the others quickly followed suit. All of their expressions remained cool as they returned to their castles. This time, without waiting for Yun Bing to call for him, Jiang Yi followed her all the way. If he did not find out exactly what was happening, he would not be able to rest assured in this camp. If the Nine Yang Army really wanted to hand him over to the Dao Clan, he would have no choice but to leave this place.

“All of you, get out! Staff Captain Jiang, remain behind!”

After they entered the camp, Yun Bing scanned the group of people and barked these orders. The group of men cupped their hands and started to retreat. Suddenly, in a cold voice, she said, “Do not leak a single bit of information about Staff Captain Jiang’s identity. If you choose to betray him, don’t blame me for turning ugly.”

The group of people received these orders and left. Jiang Yi bowed slightly and said, “Thank you, General. However, it does not matter now whether people leak information or not. I guess that Mu Heyu already knows who I am.”

“So what?”

Yun Bing scanned the surroundings and said, “Jiang Yi, rest assured and remain in the Flying Feather Army. This Flying Feather Command does not belong to the Mu Clan. Nobody will dare to touch you if you remain here.”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. “What if the Commanders-in-Chief give orders for them to arrest me? Then, I would have no choice but to be handed over.”

“Hur-Hur!”

Yun Bing tutted twice and laughed mockingly. “Jiang Yi, you belittle these thirty-six Clan Heads. Mu Heyu was just scaring you. How can the Commanders-in-Chief give such orders? The Dao Clan must have gone to the Mu Clan for help. Even… the Clan Head Mu might not know about this. The Mu Clan is just investigating these things in secret.”

“Are you for real?”

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. If this were true, the Flying Feather Army would be safe for now. Yun Bing was right; the Flying Feather Command belonged to the Yun Clan and not the Mu Clan.

Jiang Yi remained silent for several seconds and then said through gritted teeth, “If the General is confident, I will remain here and leave my fate to heaven.”

“En…”

Yun Bing nodded and said, “Rest assured and go back. I will send someone to look into this matter. If it is true that the Commanders-in-Chief gave such orders, I will personally send you out of the Nine Yang Valley.”

“Thank you, Young Mistress Yun.”

For the first time, Jiang Yi took a liking towards this shrewd young mistress. Whether Yun Bing wanted to help him or wanted to make life difficult for Mu Heyu, a favor was a favor. He looked sincerely at Yun Bing and said, “No matter whether I can continue to help the Flying Feather Army out, I will take you as my friend from now on.”

The corners of Yun Bing’s lips twitched. Suddenly, she pouted and said, “Your character is passable, but you’re too ugly. I… don’t take ugly people as friends.”

“Hahahaha!”

Jiang Yi burst into laughter and walked out of the castle, taking big strides. Just when he reached the door, he turned around and said, “General, if I can remain in this army without staying in hiding, I will recover my true looks. Then, you won’t say I’m ugly for sure.”

“Hur-Hur!”

Yun Bing watched as Jiang Yi left the castle. Subconsciously, she smiled and said, “You’re already so disgustingly ugly. Even if you do recover your true looks, how good-looking can you get?

“Commander Liang!”

After sitting for a while, Yun Bing suddenly shouted. Commander Liang seemed to know that Yun Bing would summon him. He immediately appeared and cupped his hands. “Here I am.”

“I want to make a trip to Nine Yang City.”

Yun Bing got to her feet and said, “While I am not around, you will command this army. If anything big happens, notify me immediately. If… Mu Heyu dares to push his luck, hold the fort while you can and wait for me to return.”

“Yes!”

Commander Liang received the orders and bowed. “General, it was my mistake this time. Please punish me.”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

Yun Bing waved her hand and said, “Mu Heyu obviously played tricks on us this time. They probably only sent out the message about the Ghost-Eyed Beast King after we got into trouble. We castrated him in Nine Yang City back then and caused his reputation to be dragged through the dirt. He’s doing this on purpose to take revenge. Why else do you think he wanted to join our Flying Feather Command?”

Commander Liang fell silent. Yun Bing was well-known for being shrewd not only in the Flying Feather Army, but also across the entire Heaven Primordial Domain. She indeed castrated Mu Heyu back then. A few other young masters of great family clans were also beaten up so badly that they were half-dead. Apart from one young master in the Nine Yang City, all others did not dare to mess with her.

Yun Bing led her own personal bodyguards away, as Commander Liang took over the reins of the Flying Feather Army. Without Yun Bing around, he did not dare to accept missions. Instead, the entire army was allowed to rest and cultivate.

With Yun Bing’s promise, Jiang Yi could remain in the Flying Feather Army peacefully.

Of course, the main problem was that there was no way for him to leave this place. If Yun Bing did not allow him to, he could not leave. Since he could not leave, there was no point in thinking too much. All he could do was leave his fate to the heavens.

He entered his own castle and went into seclusion. As he cultivated, he tried to realize the Mighty God Technique. He wanted to find out how exactly to cultivate the divine patterns. Jiang Yi summoned the mummy and felt the divine patterns in its acupoints from time to time. With the divine tree leaf in one hand, his progress was exceptionally fast.

He did not know how much time had passed as he cultivated. As long as the restrictions remained still, he did not bother. A day and a half later, he finally realized some mysteries regarding the Mighty God Technique.

“The Mighty God Technique is indeed incomplete. This Mighty God Technique is a simpler version that was refined earlier. The person who simplified this technique must have sensed the mystery behind all 108 acupoints and realized that the divine patterns were the source of the Mighty God Race’s power.

“Since he could not cultivate those divine patterns, he settled for the second-best and cultivated a similar type of divine pattern: the Power of Heaven and Earth. I wonder if the elder who created this simpler version of the Mighty God Technique also produced the Power of Heaven and Earth.”

Jiang Yi was very sure of this. He sent his Power of Heaven and Earth into the mummy many times and then used his divine senses to look around. He discovered that the Power of Heaven and Earth would always be absorbed by the divine patterns. The divine patterns were shining brightly and floating around slowly. The divine patterns of all 108 acupoints had to be activated; that was how the Mighty God Race had such a huge source of power.

“Power of the stars. It looks like in order to congeal these divine patterns, I have to count on the power of the stars!”

Jiang Yi suddenly became excited. At last, he had found a direction. He did not know if this was the right direction. He did not even know if his body could become as powerful as the Mighty God Race once he congealed these divine patterns. However, at the very least, there was somewhere to go. He no longer felt like a headless fly, spinning around directionless.

Buzz!

He was just about to test the direction out when the restrictions around the side hall began flashing nonstop. He summoned a burst of essence force and sent his divine senses out to look around. His castle was filled with people.

Zhang Danian and the others were surrounding the side hall as if trying to fend off enemies. Once his divine senses spotted this, he received Zhang Danian’s voice transmission: “Lord, there’s trouble. A Commander from the Military Law Hall is here. He wants to take you away!”
