Chapter 1693: Azure Supreme Thearch

You can leave now!

This sentence was very hurting; after all, Dao Nu was a very respectable and powerful person in the Heaven Domain. If they didn’t show face to Dao Leng, that was alright. However, not showing face to Dao Nu meant disrespecting the entire Dao Clan and even the Azure Supreme Thearch. If this matter was made known, the Azure Supreme Thearch would be laughed at by people. One had to be mindful of who his adversary’s backer was.

Jiang Yi breathed out in relief, and his affection towards Heavenly King Wei increased many folds. Not everyone would be willing to offend someone so powerful for a mere underling. Regardless of Heavenly King Wei’s considerations—at the very least, he had not sold Jiang Yi out.

“Hahaha!”

Dao Nu laughed out loud. Accompanying this laughter, his aura started to surge. Dao Leng also took out his battle saber; if Dao Nu intended to fight, he had no qualms of joining in at all. That year, he had almost been killed by Heavenly King Yun and could use this opportunity as revenge.

Buzz!

The Heaven-Splitting Saber lit up as a destructive aura surged; Jiang Yi’s entire being shuddered. This moment, he finally witnessed how powerful this divine weapon was. Even a wisp of energy from it would destroy him instantly, much less an attack from it.

Heavenly King Mu, Heavenly King Yun, and the other four Heavenly Kings all took out their own weapons. Heavenly King Wei, however, did not do anything. He sat there like a monk as he looked peacefully at Dao Nu; he didn’t seem worried at all.

“Old Fiend Wei, I am going to ask you one last time: are you going to hand him over?”

Dao Nu’s Heaven-Splitting Saber was raised high, and he was about to launch an attack. Heavenly King Wei answered calmly, “Dao Nu, this is not a place for you to fool about. If you do not stop now, bear the consequences.”

“Die—”

Dao Nu did not hesitate any further as his gaze turned towards Jiang Yi and his battle saber lit up with ten thousand beams of light. The entire castle’s restrictions flashed incessantly. At this moment, a purple light lit up in Heavenly King Wei’s eyes, and he was obviously about to unleash a soul spirit attack.

“Dao Nu!”

At this moment, a faint and ancient voice rang out in the central hall. Dao Nu’s raised Heaven-Splitting Saber actually halted in midair. Dao Leng heard this voice, and he shuddered as he was startled and genuflected immediately. He greeted, “Azure Supreme Thearch!”

Dao Nu’s aura weakened slightly as he also genuflected and greeted, “Master.”

Heavenly King Wei stood up while the other Heavenly Kings kept their weapons. Everyone cupped their hands and said, “Azure Supreme Thearch!”

Azure Supreme Thearch?

Jiang Yi was in utter turmoil; things seemed to be escalating so quickly today. Not only had Dao Nu come; the Azure Supreme Thearch himself had sent word? This was the number-one person in the entire Primordial World now.

The Azure Supreme Thearch’s voice was very peculiar; none of the guards outside the hall could hear it, only those within could. His voice rang out again, “Nine Yang City was built by the Heavenly Thearch; you dare to fight here? Once you are back, punish yourself according to clan rules!”

Dao Nu did not protest at all as his head bowed deeply. He said, “Master’s rebuke is true; I know my mistake.”

Azure Supreme Thearch paused and then continued. “Wei Pingping, although Dao Nu was wrong, he had acted with a cause. I will plead his case on his behalf; is that alright?”

Plead on his behalf?

Jiang Yi, Heavenly King Yun, and others’ faces all darkened. Since the Azure Supreme Thearch himself had opened his mouth—if they didn’t give this face, the Nine Yang Army and Azure Supreme Thearch Army would be dead loggerheads from now on.

If no face was given to Dao Nu, the Azure Supreme Thearch might at most be silently fuming. However, since he had opened his mouth, if this face wasn’t given; how was the Azure Supreme Thearch supposed to swallow this?

Heavenly King Wei grew silent. Heavenly King Mu, however, grew anxious as he looked at Heavenly King Wei, cupped his hands, and said, “Big Brother…”

Another Heavenly King also cupped his hands and said, “Big Brother… let’s forget about it.”

The Heaven Domain had six powerful factions; these were the human race’s final hope. If conflict broke out within the six factions, the consequences were dire. Was it worth it—for a person like Jiang Yi? For countless people to die and for the human race to head to its demise?

The Azure Supreme Thearch had always been a proud and aloof man. He had never wed in his life and only followed Dao. Since he had spoken personally today, if this face wasn’t given to him, based on his character; he might actually go against the Nine Yang Army or—at the very least—not join the Nine Yang Army in battle.

Sigh…

Heavenly King Wei knew this point very well. He looked plainly at Jiang Yi as his eyes flashed gloomily.

Oh, no!

Jiang Yi saw Heavenly King Wei’s expression, and his heart sank. He knew that if he didn’t do something to save himself, he would be dead. Heavenly King Wei had already decided to give him up and give the Azure Supreme Thearch face by handing him over to Dao Nu.

Save himself?

How?

It was impossible for him to forcibly break his way out. He couldn’t even escape one Dao Leng, much less so many formidable martial artists within the castle. If he revealed his Fire Dragon Sword, that would be courting death as well. If Azure Supreme Thearch knew that the Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon was in his hands, he would probably come here personally and snatch the Fire Dragon Sword at all costs.

It was unfortunate that Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul was still in slumber. If not, Jiang Yi could ask him to send a voice transmission to Heavenly King Wei; all would be well. Jiang Yi’s mind worked furiously, and he finally turned to look at Heavenly King Yun and sent a voice transmission:

“Heavenly King Yun, Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul is still around; I have seen his remnant soul once…”

“En?”

Heavenly King Yun looked at Jiang Yi sharply. His voice quivered as he sent back a voice transmission:

“Are you… certain?”

“If I dare to lie even the tiniest bit, you can kill me immediately!”

Jiang Yi replied very firmly.

“However, I would like to ask Heavenly King Yun to keep this a secret; this matter cannot be leaked. I will explain to you guys later.”

Jiang Yi had chosen to send a voice transmission to Heavenly King Yun and not Heavenly King Wei because he felt that among all these Heavenly Kings, Heavenly King Yun was probably the most loyal. If not, Yun Bing would not be who she was as well.

He did not dare to reveal many details but had only said that Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul was still around. As for how this matter would proceed, Jiang Yi could only leave it up to heaven.

Heavenly King Yun glared deadly at Jiang Yi as if wanting to see through his soul spirit. After a few seconds, his gaze turned to Heavenly King Wei as he sent a very firm voice transmission:

“Big Brother, we cannot hand over Jiang Yi. He knows… the Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul’s location.”

Heavenly King Wei had just wanted to respond to Azure Supreme Thearch. After hearing Heavenly King Yun’s words, his white brows raised immediately as his eyes lit up. He then looked at Jiang Yi once more and grew silent again.

Swish!

A split second later, his ring lit up as he took out a dagger and hacked at his left arm. He actually hacked his left arm off! His face was unchanged as he coldly said, “Azure Supreme Thearch, I’m afraid that I cannot go along with your wishes. This arm is my compensation to you.”

“Big Brother!”

The other Heavenly Kings’ faces changed drastically as they cried out. Heavenly King Yun’s eyes flashed coldly. Although, to formidable martial artists at their level, hacking an arm off was not considered much; Heavenly King Wei was their head. His reputation would be sullied if this matter spread.

Dao Nu and Dao Leng’s eyes flashed with a sliver of surprise. They had never expected Heavenly King Wei to act as such? He had actually cut his arm off to protect Jiang Yi?

Jiang Yi’s expression was a little complicated. However, at this moment, he was sure that Heavenly King Wei was absolutely reliable. He had actually cut off one arm because he heard of news that the Heavenly Thearch’s remnant soul was still around. He was definitely loyal to the Heavenly Thearch.

“Keke!”

Azure Supreme Thearch laughed out, though it could not be told if he was happy or angry. His voice floated, “Wei Pingping, was this necessary? Since you value this lad so much, you can have him. Dao Nu, come back. This matter is at its end; you are not to bring this up again. If not, I will not go easy on you.”

After Azure Supreme Thearch spoke, he didn’t say anything else; his aura was gone. Dao Nu and Dao Leng glanced at Jiang Yi and then flew out without saying a word. However, from their expressions, it was obvious that although Azure Supreme Thearch had said this matter was over, the Dao Clan was not going to let this go.
