Chapter 1150: A Big Shocking Secret

When it became dark again, a Heaven Fate Ship flew swiftly by. After Jiang Yi received this news, he immediately went out to receive the incoming ship. This ship contained members of the Jiang Clan; there were a few thousand of them, including many elders of the clan. Some of them were even from Jiang Yi’s grandfather’s generation.

Buzz!

The Heaven Fate Ship stopped over the city, and its shields were deactivated. Jiang Yi brought Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan, and company and stood in silence, waiting for everyone on board the ship to gather on the deck. Jiang Yi then bowed and said in a low voice, “Unfilial grandson Jiang Yi pays his respects to granduncles as well as my elders!”

Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan, Huangfu Taotian, Situ Yixiao, and company also bowed at once. Although the Jiang Clan’s martial artists were all extremely weak and pitiful—with not even one of them being a Vajra Realm martial expert, they were Jiang Yi’s clansmen after all. They still had to give this little bit of face.

“Great, great, great!”

The few white-haired elders did not stop nodding. One of them walked in front of the group, his face full of emotion as he looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Jiang Yi, you still acknowledge that you are from the Jiang Clan and that we are your family; I can die without regrets. That year, the Old Liege Lord let down your mother; we had also let you down. The few of us old men seek your forgiveness here and now.”

While saying this, the few elders actually wanted to kneel down at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi immediately flew up as he held on to them and said, “Let’s not talk about the past. Father had already atoned for the Jiang Clan’s mistakes. I have also sworn when Father died that if I have the ability to, I will definitely take good care of the Jiang Clan.”

“Alright!”

The four elders were very comforted as they kept on nodding their heads. Then, one of them turned around suddenly and shouted, “Yiliu, hurry up and come meet your little brother. Come and apologize to him; you did many wrong things that year. You had let down Jiang Yi then.”

“Jiang Yiliu?”

Jiang Yi’s eyebrows rose as he looked over. Jiang Yiliu was hiding in the crowd, lowering his head in embarrassment. His face was all red. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was even more embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Yi, his lips moving a few times; however, he did not say anything.

“Alright, you guys should go and get settled.”

Although Jiang Yi had already decided not to be so calculative, seeing Jiang Yiliu like this indeed made Jiang Yi feel a little nauseous. He beckoned for everyone to disembark; he did not want to bother about this anymore. Qian Wanguan would see to it that everyone was well settled in.

By the third day, everyone who could be rescued and brought over had all been done so. Jiang Yi took the morning to scan the continent once again and confirmed that there were no other survivors. The sea demons had also been more or less completely wiped out by the hundreds of Heaven Monarchs. He gathered Qian Wanguan, Zhan Wushuang, and a few representatives from a few clans to discuss the way forward.

There were still tens of millions of people left on the continent; they could not all be brought away. Furthermore, having already almost wiped out the entire continent, the mastermind would also not be that inhumane and try to kill these remnants as well. Hence, Jiang Yi decided to elect a new Emperor to govern the Stellarsky Continent, for the continent to take its time to heal.

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang had decided to take with them the disciples of the Zhan Clan and the Qian Clan; there were not many of them left as it was. The duo wanted to bring whoever was left back to Sin Island. After some discussion, the few elders from the Jiang Clan all decided to go along with Jiang Yi. They were not idiots and could see how strong Jiang Yi and company were. Furthermore, Jiang Yi had under his command a thousand over Heaven Monarchs; it went without saying that Jiang Yi was now a very successful and formidable person. Since Jiang Yi had decided to take care of them, they naturally wanted to cozy up to someone powerful like him.

Su Ruoxue’s two Royal Uncles, on the other hand, both wanted to become Emperor. However, Jiang Yi knew that the two were imbeciles and immediately rejected that notion. He intended to bring the two of them with him and force them into retirement; that would also be considered giving some face to Su Ruoxue.

After much consideration, Jiang Yi decided on an elder of the Yun Clan to become the Emperor. Jiang Yi also bestowed onto him many celestial stones and saint artifacts. Jiang Yi instructed him to use the celestial stones to nurture a troop of Soul Travel Realm martial artists; at least if the sea demons came again, they could be repelled.

“So many celestial stones…”

The four elders of the Jiang Clan, Su Zhe, and Su Heng’s eyes lit up. Jiang Yi had given a few million celestial stones to the new Emperor. Such a huge amount of celestial stones was more than enough to nurture several hundreds of thousands of Soul Travel soldiers, to build a strong and stable kingdom that would be prosperous for ten thousand years.

“Alright, Wanguan, you will continue to send men to search for the missing people. Separately, send men to go the Desolate East Sea and kill all the formidable sea demons there. I will scan the continent once again; half a month later—regardless of whether we manage to find them, we will depart for the East Imperial Continent.”

Jiang Yi had made his decision. Regardless of whether this matter was orchestrated by Wu Shang, he was definitely going to make a trip to North Thearch City. Jiang Yunhai and company, Jiang Yi was adamant on saving them. If it was really the work of the Wu Clan, the entire clan was going to pay for this.

Everyone hurriedly went on their assigned tasks. They scattered to search in all directions. After all, the Divine Perception was not all-powerful; there were many places it could not detect. Jiang Yi still held on to some hope that Jiang Yunhai, Zhan Yiming, and company had not been caught but were just in hiding somewhere.

Jiang Yi used his Heaven Evasion to search while Situ Yixiao, Huangfu Taotian, and Zhan Wushuang separately brought troops to comb the area. Qian Wanguan had also brought men to the Desolate East Sea and was prepared to cleanse the formidable sea demons in it, utterly guaranteeing the safety of the Stellarsky Continent.

Jiang Yi’s Heaven Evasion speed was very fast as he sped about the continent looking everywhere. He had even visited many sea islands encircling the continent; he found nothing after more than ten days.

Buzz!

On the fourteenth day, one of the messaging jade talismans in Jiang Yi’s hand lit up. He looked at it, and his expression changed. He immediately used Heaven Evasion and headed to the east of the continent. After two jumps, he neared a big city in the east, flying there in only five minutes.

Qian Wanguan was outside the city; the message just now was sent by him. Jiang Yi found Qian Wanguan and shouted towards him, asking, “What is the situation?”

“Boss, check the mountain gorge!’

Qian Wanguan pointed at a gorge not far away, his face serious as he spoke. Jiang Yi used his divine senses and was astonished. Qian Wanguan explained, “I had asked men to gather the corpses of the one million soldiers that had perished here, to place them inside this gorge. However, they had all disappeared yesterday. I sent men to investigate but found two bottomless pits…”

Jiang Yi’s divine senses had picked them up as well. Below the gorge were two bottomless passageways. These passageways were very familiar to him. He had seen them before underneath the West Sea. He had discovered an underground palace in the West Sea that had such passageways underneath it.

“Devil Star Vines!”

Jiang Yi thought of that horrific world underneath; that was a sea of corpses and blood. As Jiang Yi thought about the few humongous Devil Star Vines, he was shaken to the core. These passageways must have been left behind by the Devil Star Vines. The bodies had also been pulled underground by the vines.

“What secrets are contained in the Underground World?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed as he pondered. At this moment, Qian Wanguan’s jade talisman lit up. He looked at it as his face became very surprised. He said, “To the south, west, and north, wherever bodies had been buried, a similar situation had occurred. The bodies had all disappeared…”

“I will go and investigate!”

Jiang Yi thought about it and was quite anxious. That scary Underground World was too mysterious. If he did not investigate properly, he was afraid that the remaining millions of people on the continent would all be killed also. Furthermore, he kept having this feeling that the Underground World contained some big, shocking secret.
