Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 376 - Marshal of the Kingdom



Chapter 376: Marshal of the Kingdom

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Yun Xian shall be the Crown Prince. Yun Fei is to marry Zhan Wushuang.”

The main hall was filled with people of status from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. When they heard Jiang Yi’s words, their expressions turned somewhat unnatural. If the person seated on the throne right now wasn’t Jiang Yi; perhaps, they might find it somewhat more acceptable.

What was Jiang Yi’s identity again?

He was the Regent of the Great Xia Kingdom and had always been on hostile terms with the other six influential forces. Before today, a lot of them was still thinking of dismembering him into thousands of pieces after the three-year deadline and razing the Great Xia Kingdom into the ground. In their heart, they felt that Jiang Yi was just a brat who depended on luck to get to his current rank. The majority of the people at the scene now still somewhat looked down on Jiang Yi.

Yet, Jiang Yi—an outsider—had not only sat on the throne, but he even interfered with the internal affairs of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom? Furthermore, he did so in an arrogant behavior, like a monarch giving a royal decree.

However…

Before these people could show any signs of dissatisfaction, Yun Qingtian replied immediately after, “Your Honor is right! From today onwards, Xian’er will be promoted to Crown Prince. As for Fei’er and Zhan Wushuang’s marriage, our side has no opposition to it… as long as the Zhan Clan agrees to it as well. Your Honor is broad-minded, magnanimous, and would not bear recriminations. Qingtian would like to represent the millions of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom citizens to thank Your Honor. As for the future… Your Honor’s problems will be the Heaven Mystics Kingdom affairs. Anyone who wishes to oppose Your Honor is equivalent to being an enemy of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.”

“Uh…”

Everyone present was stupefied. Even Grandma Silver Flower had her eyes filled with astonishment. Did Yun Qingtian get kicked by the donkey in the head? So what if Jiang Yi had obtained the Witch God’s inheritance? So what if he possessed a peak-grade demon king?

Once the three-year promise was due, could he and the demon king be able to fight against the Azure Dragon Empire and the four other kingdoms? How about the Vajra Realm martial experts from Azure Dragon College and Centaurea College?

It doesn’t matter if Yun Xian had been appointed as the Crown Prince; having an alliance marriage with the Zhan Clan wasn’t a big deal either. With the Heaven Mystics Kingdom backing Jiang Yi, it also meant that they were going to fight against the other influential forces. If mishaps were to happen, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom might be annihilated.

Jiang Yi was also surprised by this. However, the way how Yun Qingtian had declared his stand made him very satisfied. Whether was it his real intention or just an act of hypocrisy—as long as he had placed his heart into it, it was all that matters. He also had no wish to question his reason for doing so. With a nod of his head, he continued, “Alright then. I promised the Witch God that as long as I’m alive, I would do my best to safeguard your Yun Clan’s lineage. Jiang Yi might be untalented, but his words have enormous weight behind them. Anyone who wishes to annihilate your Yun Clan would have to step over my dead body.”

“Your Honor is benevolent. Qingtian is extremely grateful for it.”

Yun Qingtian waved his hand, signaling for everyone to have a seat as he sat on the first seat on the left. He asked with some excitement. “Your Honor, is Witch God Old Ancestor… still alive?”

Wow!

The hall was in a slight clamor. Was Yun Qingtian brain functioning well? Three thousand years had passed. Unless the Witch God had become a true god, how could he possibly be alive till now?

Jiang Yi muttered to himself for a moment before explaining, “Dead! However, he left behind a trace of a remnant soul in the Witch God forbidden ground. He had only managed to leave behind this remnant soul after utilizing his formidable sorcery arts. Unfortunately, half a year later, his remaining remnant soul energy would be fully consumed; and he would completely vanish!”

“Now I see!”

Yun Qingtian eyes released radiance as he had realized something. He then exclaimed heavily, “Old Ancestor Witch God was a heavenly genius. Unfortunately, he was still unable to make past the last step. Whether was it time or death, it was simply a pity.”

Immediately after, Yun Qingtian asked of the Witch God circumstances once again as well as some matters regarding the Witch God forbidden ground. However, he did not mention anything about Yun Lu or Yun He. If he did not inquire of it, Jiang Yi would never say it on his own accord. Since he had already killed his son, how could he possibly flaunt it off to him?

“Your Honor, since the old ancestor only has half a year left, it’s better for you to handle your outside matters as quickly as possible to be able to inherit the old ancestor’s inheritance as soon as possible. Otherwise, old ancestor’s heaven-defying sorcery arts and restrictions would be lost.”

Yun Qingtian continued to inquire of certain matters before standing up and said. Simultaneously, he took out a golden token from his robes and handed it over to Jiang Yi, “Your Honor, this is Qingtian’s token. With this token, the amount of authority you can control in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom will be equivalent to mine. Anyone who sees this token would be the same as seeing me. If they dare not show any respect, you can kill them off on the spot. Later on, I would announce to the world that Your Honor is the Marshal of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom!”

“Alright. I shall accept this token as well as the Kingdom Marshal position.”

Jiang Yi stored the token away before standing up. “There’s no need for you to announce to the whole world. As for the relations I have with the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, the King must seal this news off to prevent it from divulging out. If I’m able to successfully survive after the three-year promise, it’s still not late to announce it out. Alright… this is more or less it. You guys can continue your discussion. Tomorrow, I’m setting out on a journey back to the Great Xia Kingdom. After I have finished my matters there, I will immediately enter the Witch God forbidden ground.”

“This… alright then!”

A trace of gratitude flashed past in Yun Qingtian eyes. Jiang Yi was truly being considerate for the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and did not wish to implicate them. Subsequently after, he clasped his fist before speaking to Yun Fei, “Fei’er, Xian’er, lead the Marshal back to rest first. Marshal, you can just treat this place as your home in the future. There’s no need for you to be punctilious.”

“Jiang… Marshal, this way please!”

Yun Fei was flustered. She was about to call out Jiang Yi as she used to, but the moment she spoke out, she suddenly realized something. She promptly changed her manner of speech and led Jiang Yi out in a respectful manner. At this very moment, Yun Xian still felt like he was dreaming as he stared at Jiang Yi and Yun Fei, following behind them while still in a daze.

“My King!”

The moment Jiang Yi left, all the upper echelons of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom burst out. All of their gazes locked onto Yun Qingtian, waiting for his explanation. Previously—when Jiang Yi was around, it wasn’t very convenient for them to ask it openly. At this very moment—if Yun Qingtian was to not give them a reasonable explanation, everyone would most likely feel extremely discontented.

“Ke-Ke!”

Yun Qingtian smiled indifferently. His cast his gaze towards Grandma Silver Flower and spoke, “Grandma, this King has not been inflicted with madness. Do you still remember… when we were at the Mt. Witch God offering tribute just now, the Witch God sculpture started to shake suddenly?”

“Could it be… the Witch God had, in turn, revealed himself?”

Grandma Silver Flower murmured in puzzlement as she knew of this matter as well. It was because the Witch God sculpture shook that Yun Qingtian concluded that there were some unusual happenings in the Mystic Heaven City. Thus, recalling her back immediately. Otherwise, without anyone to relay the message, how could she possibly come back ahead of time since she was not a clairvoyant?

Her eyes looked around before speaking in a deep tone, “Even if the Witch God had given his signs and had transmitted a message to Your Majesty to let you know that Jiang Yi was his successor. When Your Majesty said that you stand on the same side with Jiang Yi, it was somewhat rash of you…”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

The crowd nodded their head one after another. If the Witch God was still alive, Jiang Yi’s status would be of importance; and the Heaven Mystics Kingdom ought to protect him. The Witch God’s remnant soul was about to disappear. That puny strength of Jiang Yi—together with his demon king—wouldn’t be sufficient for him to resist against the few other kingdoms. Tying Heaven Mystics Kingdom and Jiang Yi together in the same war chariot was certainly an unwise decision.

“Ke-Ke!”

Yun Qingtian waved his hand to suppress everyone’s debate before speaking in a deep voice, “I know what all of you are thinking. What I wish to tell you is the Witch God Old Ancestor had personally transmitted a message to me. He said I have to rope in Jiang Yi wholeheartedly, saying that he is an absolute genius. If it was said that there would be a person who could break the shackles of the Stellarsky Continent—reaching an even higher realm, that person would definitely be Jiang Yi.

“Furthermore… have you all heard of anyone who was able to instantly comprehend a mid-grade dao pattern? Jiang Yi was able to comprehend the mid-grade dao pattern in the forbidden ground. If his essence force cultivation wasn’t still too low, he would be able to easily break through the Vajra Realm at this very moment. How old is Jiang Yi again? All of you, think over it.”

“What?”

Everyone present was stupefied once again. Even Grandma Silver Flower was astonished to the point of being speechless. How many of these peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts in the Main Hall weren’t able to break through the last step? It was precisely because they weren’t able to comprehend low-grade dao patterns. Yet for Jiang Yi, he was able to instantly comprehend the mid-grade dao pattern?

In this very moment, no one dared to look at Jiang Yi in contempt. A person like Witch God had already determined that Jiang Yi’s future was limitless, and the facts had shown that Jiang Yi was indeed a generational prodigy.

That meant that Yun Qingtian’s actions were the correct one. Someday, if Jiang Yi were to rise above the clouds, he would be able to ensure the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s peace and glory for thousands of years.
