Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1010 - The Phantom Race



Chapter 1010: The Phantom Race

Jiang Yi was exactly waiting to hear this from Mo Yao’er. As the only daughter of Mo Shen, Mo Yao’er was rather unruly. If she wanted to kill Qiu Bai—even if Mo Shen knew, he would at most reprimand her for it.

However, if Jiang Yi was the mastermind, things would definitely be different. Besides the possibility of being executed under clan rules—even if Mo Shen had a sliver of suspicion and once the armies of the Dwarf Race approached and demanded Mo Shen to hand over Jiang Yi, it would be equally bad.

“Mo Xing, you said that we shouldn’t act on Tiger Subdue Mountain and that we shouldn’t be the initiators? It’s a good idea to let them instigate something. It would be best to have a few other races present to be our alibi, so that when we openly kill Qiu Bai and his men, the Dwarf Race would not have anything to say. Majesty Father will surely not punish us as well.”

Mo Yao’er spun around the room excitedly. By nature, she loved to fight and kill. The last time, she was almost captured by Qiu Ming and brought back to be r****. Although Qiu Ming was ultimately killed, she was still angry about that incident.

Jiang Yi silently nodded. At least this Mo Yao’er was not that stupid. The two continued their secret discussions till dawn. Mo Yao’er then left excitedly after the two agreed to start their plan the next day.

Jiang Yi took a short break and got out of bed. With the birthday banquet over, everyone was starting to make their way home. Jiang Yi went out for breakfast but realized that some people were looking at him differently again. It wasn’t the look of seeing a monster like last night, but one that brought a tinge of warmness and a sliver of respect.

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi understood why almost immediately. Mo Yao’er had entered his room under the watchful gaze of everyone last night, only leaving at the break of dawn. She also left full of excitement and joy. Mo Qi and company had naturally misunderstood and assumed the two had consummated their love. Thus, they started to see him as Mo Shen’s son-in-law.

“Where is the Sacred Lady?”

He did not see Mo Yao’er and asked casually. Mo Qi instantly replied respectfully, “As we are leaving soon, Sacred Lady went to bid farewell to Young Mistress Shishui.”

“Oh, oh!”

Jiang Yi nodded, ate some porridge, and casually asked again, “Will everyone else be leaving today?”

“Pretty much!” Mo Qi nodded and said, “Everyone should be leaving today. However, the representatives from Heaven Hidden Sect left last night.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed, but he calmed down swiftly. It was good that they had left. I would have one less thing to think about. At present—for both him and Su Ruoxue, it was better to see each other less… to lessen his pain.

Su Ruoxue had completely forgotten about him. There was no point in seeing each other. As long as she was well, it didn’t matter if they saw each other or not.

Mo Yao’er came back after an hour. Once she entered, she sent a voice transmission: “Mo Xing, we are going to depart immediately. Qiu Bai just went to bid his farewell to Cao Duantian. They should be leaving pretty soon.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi gladly got up. Mo Qi and company were already prepared to leave. Everyone went outside and interacted cordially with the elders that came to send the group off. Cao Shishui was also present. Jiang Yi was slightly concerned with Cao Duantian’s absence, though. Perhaps he had gone to send someone else away.

“Go!”

Everyone got up their Fei Lian Beast and started flying down the mountain. Within a short while, they had descended Tiger Subdue Mountain and started flying west.

“Everyone, stop and change direction towards the Ice Sea!” A mere 100 miles away from Tiger Subdue Mountain, Mo Yao’er suddenly reined in her Fei Lian Beast and shouted.

Mo Qi and company’s expressions suddenly changed. Mo Qi anxiously said, “Sacred Lady, we cannot do that. Sect Patriarch had ordered us to immediately return to Heaven Devil Mountain from Tiger Subdue Mountain. The many clans residing in the Ice Sea have many martial arts experts. Furthermore, that is the route that Qiu Bai and his men will definitely pass by to get back to Dwarf Mountain. There might be trouble if we went there as well.”

“That’s right!”

Mo Fu agreed with Mo Qi and added, “Sacred Lady, although the previous incident was settled with the intervention of Sect Patriarch Cao, the Dwarf Race must still bear resentment against us. If we went to the Ice Sea, we might be attacked by them. We could possibly all die there.”

“Bullsh*t!”

Mo Yao’er’s brows raised, and she angrily said, “We have so many experts among us. Why should we fear a mere Dwarf Race? The ice flowers in the Ice Sea have bloomed. I travel there every year to look at them. Didn’t you guys go with me previously, too? This time, we have Mo Xing as well. There is nothing to be afraid of. The Dwarf Race wouldn’t send out their clan head either.”

“This…”

Even as Mo Yao’er’s words made sense, there was no way that Mo Qi and Mo Fu would dare take the risk. They looked towards Jiang Yi. At this point in time, only Jiang Yi could persuade this demon girl to change her mind.

Jiang Yi was secretly elated. Mo Yao’er had put up a good show. This was precisely what the two had agreed upon yesterday. He paused for a while and pretended to persuade her. “Sacred Lady, let’s head back to Heaven Devil Mountain first. We can go to the Ice Sea at another time. After being humiliated by us last time, Qiu Bai will definitely seek revenge if we went now.”

“Mo Xing, this is where you don’t get it.”

Mo Yao’er puffed out her chest, waved her hands, and said, “It is precisely because I am afraid Qiu Bai might ambush us. That’s why I want to change our route and head to the Ice Sea. If Qiu Bai and company were to ambush us, they would definitely do it halfway between Tiger Subdue Mountain and Heaven Devil Mountain. They will never expect us to head to the Ice Sea. Furthermore, we will only be making a brief stop at the Ice Sea. Who would know the route we will be taking?”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “What the Sacred Lady has said makes sense. What do the elders think?”

Mo Qi and company were dumbfounded. Mo Yao’er was not wrong. However, they still thought that it was too risky to go to the Ice Sea. So many clans had come to Tiger Subdue Mountain this time. Many were going to pass by the Ice Sea on their way back. It would naturally get more chaotic with more people present. If something was to go wrong, they would all die a thousand deaths.

“Hmph! If you guys will not accompany me, I will go on my own.”

Mo Yao’er was tired of waiting. With her black whip appearing in her hand, she directed her Fei Lian Beast to fly towards the southeast. Mo Qi and company wanted to shout a few words but were preempted by Jiang Yi. “Let’s go. We all know Sacred Lady’s personality. Let’s go for a spin and leave.”

“Let’s go!”

Mo Qi and company could do nothing but follow up. Fortunately, the Ice Sea was not that far away. It was only a thousand miles away. A short trip there would only delay the journey by two or three days. They did not mind the delay.

“Mo Xing, I’m so smart, right?”

Mo Yao’er turned back and saw Mo Qi and company following them as she smiled at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi gave her a thumbs-up, which made Mo Yao’er overjoyed. Her smile was on open display and seemingly unable to be contained.

“Apart from being spoiled and having a fiery temper—in other aspects, this girl is actually not bad. What a pity… sigh!”

Jiang Yi saw Mo Yao’er’s elated face, and his mind became adrift. The night when he suddenly left, Mo Yao’er was crying and chasing after him while calling his name. She was like a kid who had lost her beloved toy. Because of his absence, Mo Yao’er did not even attend Cao Peiwen’s banquet. She could not bear to eat or drink as well. The look of joy that came from her soul when she saw him had deeply impacted Jiang Yi.

This girl had really fallen in love with him, loving him to the core. He thought of the day when the Dwarf Race was destroyed and his subsequent departure. The look of pain and anguish that Mo Yao’er would experience made him uncomfortable.

He could be cold and emotionless while dealing with his foes. However, using this young lady and playing with her feelings were something that was eating at him. Jiang Yi was a sentimentalist. He could not bear to see women hurt or cry. He was the gentlest and most understanding to women. He was feeling a little helpless at the moment as he did not know how to face Mo Yao’er in the future.

“It doesn’t matter now. Let’s think about it another time.”

He shook his head and suppressed this issue for the moment, sending his divine senses towards the surroundings. If his deduction was not wrong, Qiu Bai’s men were following them now. The Dwarf Race was known to be violent, lustful, murderous, and vengeful. This was well known in the Snow Region. After being humiliated at the base of Tiger Subdue Mountain, Qiu Bai—the new young clan head—would definitely not be able to stomach this affront. Jiang Yi and Mo Yao’er’s move to head to the Ice Sea gave Qiu Bai a chance to do so.

As expected by Jiang Yi!

After keeping watch for a day, Jiang Yi found out something peculiar. Someone was following them. However, it was not the Dwarf Race. It was a special race, the Phantom Race.
