Jiang Yi indeed had confidence; his confidence was in the Mystic Divine Palace!
The Battle Thearch and North Thearch had guessed right. The Mystic Divine Palace contained so much power. After being attacked by so many martial experts a couple of rounds, Jiang Yi realized that the stored power in the Mystic Divine Palace had only decreased by one-thousandth; even if they continued their attack nonstop, it would take a few months to break the Mystic Divine Palace!
What made Jiang Yi even bolder and more reckless was—he realized that the Mystic Divine Palace’s restrictions were too powerful. Once someone touched the restrictions, the restrictions would automatically counterattack. How strong was this counterattack?
From how so many Demigods’ divine shields had cracked in an instant previously, that was proof that the counterattack was strong enough to easily kill an ordinary Demigod!
Jiang Yi had indeed also not held back anything. Since the Battle Thearch, North Thearch, Evil Thearch, and Beast Thearch did not want to give in, he would make them give in. Of course, he didn’t dare to directly attack the four; instead, he tried his best to avoid them. Who knew what type of powerful mystical ability they had?
He had promised the Mystic Thearch to try his best and keep the peace with the Nine Thearch Clans. Hence, he had decisively released Jian Wuying and let bygones be bygones, making peace with the Jian Clan. He had also warned the Nine Thearch Clans many times to not be his enemies. However, they had refused to listen. Jiang Yi was not a kindhearted and hesitant person; the Mystic Thearch had also not said he could not kill anyone. Hence, he had decided to attack until they gave in.
The Nine Thearch Clans’ power was indeed immense. If he could not make them give in this time—in the future, they would definitely find all sorts of ways to kill him. They could also gather their troops to attack Sin Island, starting a huge war. Jiang Yi had been suppressing much ruthlessness in him previously; he might as well release it all at once this time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Mystic Divine Mountain was only fifty kilometers from the Mystic Thearch City. However, the journey was like the road to the Netherworld; many people perished along this path. There were too many martial artists from the Zhan Clan. The Mystic Divine Palace’s speed was too fast. Every time it struck, it could easily kill hundreds, squashing them with ease.
The Zhan Clan had sent out a few dozen Demigods this time. Many Demigods from countless clans within the Mystic Thearch City had also joined. There were at least a hundred of them. However, less than half of them made it back. As for the tens of thousands of Heaven Monarch soldiers, there were only less than five thousand of them left.
The Battle Thearch was worried that Jiang Yi would attack the Battle Thearch City, and so he had attacked the Mystic Divine Palace a few times. However, he could not find a way to break through its defenses. Furthermore, he realized his attacks were injuring his own people. He then flew back into his city promptly. The Evil Thearch, Beast Thearch, and North Thearch also attacked a couple of times, but they did not know how to break through either. As they would probably be attacked by Jiang Yi if they stayed outside—creating embarrassment and trouble for themselves, they also decided to follow the Battle Thearch back into Mystic Thearch City.
The sky had completely darkened. The remaining hundreds of thousands of people from other big and small clans, however, did not enter the city. No one left while no one dared to fly into the high skies. Jiang Yi had not attacked a single one of them; they were all very relaxed. They kept a ten kilometers distance away from Mystic Thearch City and stood quietly. They wanted to see how the situation would unfold.
The Sword Thearch, Yin Thearch, Xuan Thearch, Sonar Thearch, and company also did not leave. Of course, they did not enter the city either. They had flown down to the ground, around five kilometers away from the Mystic Thearch City, and watched as the city glowed with rainbow lights. They also looked at the Mystic Thearch Palace suspended in mid-air, the palace walls pitch-black but—at the same time—emanating a black light.
Many people felt uneasy even standing here. Jiang Yi was a lunatic. The crazy deeds he had done today would definitely be recorded in the annals. If Jiang Yi really went mad and started killing, many of those present would die here. However, it was precisely because this matter was so out of hand that no one dared to leave. They all wanted to witness this incredible event unfolding.
The Battle Thearch, North Thearch, Beast Thearch, and Evil Thearch stood on the city walls with more than a hundred Demigods lined up behind them. All the Demigods in the city had gathered in the event that the crazy Jiang Yi unleashed an attack on the Mystic Thearch City’s Great Thearch Formation, putting tens of millions of lives in the city in jeopardy.
If Jiang Yi really dared to attack—with so many of them using their essence force to fortify the shield, they would be able to hold on for a while. That would be used to teleport the Zhan Clan’s disciples and people away.

Jiang Yi, you depraved maniac. You are fated to pay for what you have done today!

Though the Battle Thearch’s face was very calm, he could not hide the fury in his eyes. As the Clan Head of the number one clan on the Stellarsky Domain—as one of the strongest martial artists in the entire East Imperial Continent, he was supposed to be the high and mighty Thearch Monarch. However, he had been slapped in the face a few times today and could not retaliate. The agony and rage that he now felt were imaginable.

Keke!

Jiang Yi’s laughter was transmitted outwards. The winds and clouds congregated above the Mystic Divine Palace as a huge phantom image was formed. It was as tall as three hundred feet as if like a god himself. His face revealed a comforting smile. However, this smile had the opposite effect and made everyone shudder. It felt as if this was the true devil’s smile.
His phantom image was created using the Mystic Thearch Palace’s restrictions but was actually really lifelike. Besides the fact that it was a hundred times bigger, there were no other discrepancies with the real person. His face was sharp like a knife, and his red hair was flaying. He wore a green robe, and his body looked slightly frail. He looked like a weak and frail scholar.
His gaze was looking downwards at the Battle Thearch and company and then on the hundreds of thousands of Zhan Clan warriors assembled on the city walls. He finally rested his gaze on the Battle Thearch’s face and said,
Battle Thearch, the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city can bear witness; I had given you a chance. Zhan Tianlei wanted to kill me, but I was willing to forgive and forget and become friends with the Zhan Clan. It was you who looked down on me, who deigned to become friends with an insignificant person such as myself. What other choice did I have? Since we could not become friends, we could only become enemies. I’m sure you guys would not be merciful to your enemies, right? This is very fair!


Bah!

The Battle Thearch spat on the ground, smiled coldly, and said,
You are a spy from the Sin Island; you are an ally of the demon races. You are a traitor to humankind. What right do you have to be friends with the Zhan Clan? Evil can never win against righteousness. The human race will never be subjugated. You—traitor to humans—are also destined to be destroyed!


Hahaha!

Jiang Yi laughed out loud as his voice shook the nine heavens. He was very amused and laughed for a long while before continuing,
Battle Thearch, search your conscience. Are you embarrassed by what you have said? You are only interested in your reputation, in wanting to obtain the Mystic Divine Palace and the two divine artifacts inside it; why are you acting so righteous and aboveboard? Your Zhan Clan had not done any dirty things before? Although I have entered Sin Island—although I am on good terms with Ao Lu, I have never ever killed a civilian. I have never killed indiscriminately or helped any demon race kill my fellow humans.

What type of person is the Mystic Thearch? Would he give his treasured items to someone who had betrayed the human race? He designed so many trials and tests. You can ask Jian Wuying; you can ask anyone who had attempted the challenges. What was the Mystic Thearch testing? If one was not gifted, was not young enough, or did not have morals, he would not be able to become the Mystic Thearch’s successor. Are you saying that you are questioning the Mystic Thearch’s judgment? Or are you saying that the Mystic Thearch is in cahoots with the demon races and is trying to eliminate the human race?


Uh…

Jiang Yi’s words were amplified and permeated the Great Thearch Formation to resound throughout the city. His words were very convincing!
The Mystic Thearch was the guardian of the human race. His strength was unparalleled, and his wisdom unrivaled; he could also see into the future. Since he had given the Mystic Divine Palace to Jiang Yi, he naturally had his reasons for doing so. At least… Jiang Yi had gotten the Mystic Thearch’s assent.
Could someone who had been acknowledged by the Mystic Thearch have a bad character and morals?

Actually, I did not intend to say all this nonsense. I had promised the Mystic Thearch that if I could live in harmony with you guys, I will try my best to not make you all my enemies!

Jiang Yi’s expression became very serious, and the aura of his phantom image had also become boundless. He growled and said,
I will ask you one last time. Battle Thearch, do you wish to fight or make peace? If you want a battle, I promise you that within five minutes, I will raze the Battle Thearch Castle to the grounds!
