For the next few days, Jiang Yi’s group met with many groups; but they didn’t suffer any defeat.
Yun Fei had the Astral Body of Wood and could sense everything within the 50-kilometer radius from any forestry. With such an insane ability, they were already in an invincible position.
Of course, their numbers might be small; but when they were combined in force, they would certainly be able to the oppose majority of the forces in the Crystal Stone Plains. This Kingdom War only had two princes participating, and one of them—who wanted to claim merits—was the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s Prince Yun He who had been slain by Jiang Yi. The other would be Divine Martial Kingdom’s hedonistic prince, Xia Tian; with his prestige, he didn’t have the qualification to unite the martial artists from the Divine Martial Kingdom.
This was why the martial artists in the Crystal Stone Plains were basically split into small and large legions that numbered in tens, hundreds, and even one thousand. Those legions that had a combat strength which was superior to Jiang Yi’s group were truly rare.
The strength of those Water Moon Observatory’s maidens was around the second or third stage of Soul Travel Realm. After using the Water Moon Formation’s boost, their strength would be boosted to the third or fourth stage of Soul Travel Realm. After coordinating with Gu Te and the others, the overall combat strength of Jiang Yi’s legion could easily wipe out any group.
In any case, there were people from other clans; and it wouldn’t ache his heart to see them die. With every encounter, Jiang Yi would send the maidens from the Water Moon Observatory and Gu Te’s group to rush in while they watched from behind. When the opposition truly had too many martial artists, he would ask Zhan Wushuang to lead the Zhan clansmen and Yun Fei’s men to attack. All the spoils that they obtained would be split to both their clans, causing the Water Moon Observatory and Gu Te’s group to be so angry that they were rolling their eyes.
More than ten days had passed.
After Jiang Yi and his group fought more than a few dozens of battle, they had obtained thousands of medals, which meant that Jiang Yi’s first rank didn’t have any more surprises. This Kingdom War only had a total of 60,000 to 70,000 participants, and Jiang Yi had already obtained about 10,000 of their medals. If Yun He didn’t die, the army that he mustered that was a few thousand in numbers was definitely enough for him to sweep the entire Crystal Stone Plains; and the first rank would certainly belong to him.
During this period of time, they did encounter a few formidable legions and also the group of monks from the Great Zen Monastery. Jiang Yi wanted to be cautious; hence, they would avoid them immediately when Yun Fei scouted them.
They even met the groups from the Qian Clan, the Ying Clan, the Long Clan, and the Taishi Clan. Jiang Yi didn’t want to have any dealings with them, and it wouldn’t be good to start a battle with them either—hence, he avoided them, too.
For the past few days, eight of the maidens from the Water Moon Observatory had fallen, which made Shui Zhonghua see Jiang Yi with eyes that had hidden grudge. Since Shui Youlan already gave her orders, they would fight until their last maiden in order to help Jiang Yi obtain more points and attain the first rank in the Kingdom War.
A few of Gu Te’s men were dead, but Yun Fei paid no mind to them—as long as those important members like Gu Te and Huo Shu were still alive. A few of the Zhan clansmen had been lost, too, which made Jiang Yi feel very guilty.
After they collected quite a huge amount of medals, Jiang Yi asked everyone to rest in a small valley. After resting for three to four days, the month’s time was up; and everyone was automatically teleported back to the imperial capital.
Shui Zhonghua and Gu Te’s group felt a heavy burden relieved from them. If Jiang Yi wanted to continue battling, they had no choice but to fight for him at no costs—they would even have to die for nothing. Yun Fei’s men were also terribly fatigued.
After taking a good bath in the small lake of the valley, Jiang Yi took out some tentages from his Fire Spirit Pearl and resided at the valley comfortably and quietly waited for the end of the Kingdom War.
…
Buzz!
Four days later, the sky of the Crystal Stone Plains suddenly brightened up—like a clear sky opening from clouds and mist. Rays of golden light enveloped all the surviving martial artists in the Kingdom War; and they quickly vanished from the plains, only to reappear in the city plaza of the imperial capital.
Wow!
The city plaza was already packed with people; when the survivors appeared, there was this uproar in the entire plaza. Countless eyes swept across the survivors, and many of them lit up while there were also many eyes that dimmed. If they couldn’t find who they were looking for, it meant they had perished in the Kingdom War.
Boss! Brother Wushuang!
Big Brother Jiang Yi! Zhan Wushuang!
The meatball Qian Wanguan and Zhan Lin’er, who was wearing a veil, had an excited expression, constantly waving at them from a distance. Had it not been for the imperial guards obstructing them, they would have rushed down long ago. Principal Qi and the others stood by the side and were nodding with a satisfied expression. Mt. Spirit Beast College might have lost some cadets, but the survival rate was rather high.
Huuu…
Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang looked around before letting out a long breath. They looked into the bright sky and felt as though a lifetime had passed. Especially Jiang Yi who escaped the clutches of death multiple times, allowing him to feel how good it was to be alive.
His eyes swept across Principal Qi’s group, Qian Wanguan, and Zhan Lin’er—which soon had a slight dim. He didn’t see that familiar figure in the crowd.
Su Ruoxue didn’t come to send him off into the Kingdom War; neither was she here to greet his triumphant return. It seemed like she wanted to cut off all ties with him.
Jiang Yi!
The sound of teeth gnashing echoed while Jiang Yi retraced his thoughts and looked to the left to see Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian looking at him with resentful eyes. He let out an indistinct smile and gestured with a beheading motion, causing the two of them to nearly jump from the rage.
Zhan Wushuang?
When Xia Tian saw Zhan Wushuang and Jiang Yi standing together with the people from Water Moon Observatory. Even if he was an idiot, he would have realized that it was their setup that day. He didn’t have any evidence and could only swallow this truth with his smashed-up teeth.
Shh-shh-shh!
Footsteps could be heard from the front of the city plaza as squadrons of black-armored soldiers swiftly marched over. That beautiful imperial princess that no one dared to look at directly appeared again.
With her appearance, the commotion on the city plaza was quickly silenced. Everyone’s eyes had a burning passion as they knew the most important highlight was about to begin.
The Kingdom War has ended. Would everyone please submit your medals? The top ten martial artists will be given their rewards and would be qualified to join tonight’s imperial court banquet.
Teams of imperial officials that wore scholar’s robe walked out and began to tally the points. All the martial artists who participated in the Kingdom War walked forward one by one and submitted their medals.
Northern Liang Kingdom’s Xian Yuchang. 1600 medals, 4260 points.
Saint Spirit Kingdom’s Piao Chejun. 630 medals…
Divine Martial Kingdom’s Ying Dao. 2596 medals…
…
The medals were being recorded swiftly as an imperial official announced swiftly as well. Jiang Yi was surprised when he heard that Ying Dao had obtained so many medals. The Ying Clan was proficient in assassination and was indeed true to their efficiency. Ying Dao brought around eighty men, and there were only a few of them that were missing.
After listening for a moment, Jiang Yi was secretly relieved as most the people had already submitted their medals; and Ying Dao was still in the first rank. It seemed like there wasn’t going to be any surprises for his first rank.
Shh-shh!
A black battle-armored martial artist took huge strides as he walked forward. A ring on his hand had a flash of light, which immediately presented a small mold of medals, bringing about an uproar.
Eh?
Even the imperial princess was attracted by this scene and swept a look at this martial artist.
Who is this individual?
Jiang Yi’s eyes went cold as he looked at the medals on the ground but quickly let out a breath of relief. This individual had a lot of medals, but it wasn’t enough to hit 10,000 pieces.
Zhan Wushuang took a look and explained:
Northern Mang Kingdom’s Young Clan head of the Dao Clan, Dao Zhan. Didn’t we come across a legion that had over a thousand men and didn’t fight? He should be the one that led that legion.
Oh!
Jiang Yi nodded secretly. Soon enough, the counting had ended; and it was within Jiang Yi’s expectation. The medal count went up to over 9000 pieces and almost broke the 10,000-mark.
After waiting for one hour, nearly everyone had finished submitting their medals. The Northern Mang Kingdom’s Young Clan Head of the Dao Clan thought he was going to take the first rank, but Jiang Yi suddenly walked up quickly and with a flash of the Fire Spirit Pearl, countless medals flew out like snowflakes, piling up into a huge mold.
Wow!
The entire crowd was stunned, and the beautiful eyes of that imperial princess looked over again. This time, she actually revealed an unprecedented smile, dazzling innumerable male’s body to shiver.
