Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 158: Do You Believe This Old Man will Kill You with a Sing

Chapter 158: Do You Believe This Old Man will Kill You with a Single Palm Strike?

“Servant Hun, isn’t it excessive for you to be killing my people in my territory?”

Right at this moment, an aged but vigorous voice echoed, followed by a burst of aura from the inner courtyards of the college. It instantaneously enveloped the entire hundred-mile radius from the Mt. Spirit Beast.

Enveloped by this aura, Grandma Hun and Shui Qianrou felt as though their bodies froze and was stagnated in place. The speed of the silver necklace also gradually slowed down.

The bizarre thing was that no one in the entire college was shrouded by this aura and could only hear the bellowing from Principal Zhuge. Majority of the cadets were alarmed and rushed out from their lodgings. As for the mentors and vice principals, they had already been alerted by the signal flare and was rushing towards the exterior of the southern courtyard.

“Shh-shh-shh!”

When Jiang Yi heard Zhuge Qingyun’s voice, his heart had this slight relief. Right at this moment, he suddenly heard a minute sound from within the ground. The sound was getting louder, and an arm suddenly broke through the ground, pulling both Jiang Yi and the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf into the earth.

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi was shocked and nearly risked it all to use the Fire Spirit Rock. The person pulling him suddenly whispered, “Kid, don’t move. I am here to save you.”

“Ji Lao!”

Jiang Yi could hear a voice and had completely relaxed while his heart was praising with curiosity. Ji Lao actually had such mystical abilities? He could walk underground like he was on the flat surface. He was tunneling through just like a pangolin and pulling him rapidly towards the college.

“Hmph!”

When Grandma Hun noticed that Jiang Yi vanished from where he was and realized that there was a huge hole in the ground. She naturally knew that an expert had offered to save him. Her expression was now rather unpleasant. The Devil-Sky Silk might only be a heaven-tier artifact, but she borrowed it from Shui Qianrou—now that it was lost, this debt would certainly be on her.

She furiously snorted and cast her sights toward the college while shouting, “Zhuge Qingyun, you are harboring such a ruffian… aren’t you afraid you might incur my Observatory Hostess’ fury? Jiang Yi has slain my clan’s princess’ Black Qilin and destroyed the saint-tier Spirit Sparrow Robe. If you don’t hand him over, our Water Moon Observatory will not let this rest.”

Grandma Hun was formidable. She injected her essence force into her voice and made it abnormally resonant, which was booming in countless cadets’ ears.

Innumerable cadets and mentors had a change in expression. Most of them knew about the Water Moon Observatory; after all, the Observatory Hostess was the continent’s no.1, Shui Youlan. Jiang Yi actually killed the Black Qilin, which the daughter of the no.1 combatant rode on, and even destroyed her saint-tier Spirit Sparrow Robe? Everyone was appalled at Jiang Yi’s battle strength but got worried that Jiang Yi might implicate the college into a calamity.

“Haha!”

Zhuge Qingyun’s voice echoed again. He let out a burst of laughter, but his voice wasn’t gentle anymore; instead, it had ample strength and was unrestrained. After his laughter, he suddenly shouted, “Servant Hun, haven’t you shamed yourself enough? If I am your Observatory Hostess, I will execute you first. Why did you get involved in the exchange of skills between the younger generations? So be it. After chasing Jiang Yi for such a long distance, you still didn’t manage to kill him. You dare to hoot out right now? If you have the guts, take a single step into my college… do you believe this old man will kill you with a single palm strike? Get lost!”

“Wow!”

There was an uproar in the entire college. The old principal had always been mysterious and concealed. It didn’t matter when he didn’t say anything, but once he did, it was so shocking. So unyielding and tyrannical?

Then again, they all realized that Zhuge Qingyun was one of the top ten martial experts on the continent. How could a martial expert of this level have no temperament and aggressiveness at all? Most of the people were still rather excited and could feel the light shining on their faces, singing praises of their own principal in their hearts.

“You…”

Grandma Hun nearly went mad from anger, but she truly didn’t have the guts to enter the Mt. Spirit Beast College. Such a character like Zhuge Qingyun would surely uphold whatever he said. What’s more… if she was to enter the college, she would be crossing the boundaries. Even if she was killed, Shui Youlan wouldn’t say anything either.

“Grandma Hun, what should we do?”

Shui Qianrou was panicking. Were they really going to just leave it like this?

She was in the prime of her youth and wanted a reputation. If she wasn’t able to turn it around for this match, how was she going to walk proudly on this continent? In addition, the Water Moon Observatory would be humiliated because of her. Fortunately, she wasn’t a fool and didn’t dare to call out to Zhuge Qingyun; otherwise, she would definitely be served a lesson and suffer the consequences.

“What else can we do?” Grandma Hun helplessly replied, “Princess. Let’s go back. This matter can only be handed over to the Hostess and ask her to settle it for you. This old servant has no other ways.”

“Mother? No way!”

Shui Qianrou clenched onto her silver teeth and whispered, “Mother is in seclusion now. She will not be exiting it for the next three to five years. Or else… why would I dare to sneak out?”

“Ah?”

Grandma Hun stared blankly and had a dark expression. “Princess, didn’t you say that the Hostess agreed to let you come out and temper yourself? Sigh… all the more we need to head back now. If the Hostess knows that you have sneaked out, this old servant will probably be executed.”

“Go back? No!”

Shui Qianrou rubbed her blackened face and gritted her teeth to reply with a raging and determined expression, “If I don’t kill Jiang Yi, I will be embarrassed to return. Hurhur, I don’t believe that this kid can hide in the Mt. Spirit Beast College forever.”

Shui Qianrou’s beautiful eyes rolled around, and she quickly had an idea. She spoke with hatred, “Ask someone to pass a message to Zhangsun Wuji. Ask him to get his ass over to the Spirit Beast City. If it wasn’t for his proposal, I wouldn’t be here to suffer such humiliation. Ask him to find a way to get Jiang Yi out. Otherwise, I will look for trouble with him. Yes, yes… do it like this.”

“Sigh, alright!”

Grandma Hun helplessly sighed. Even if she was to forcefully bring Shui Qianrou back, with Shui Youlan in seclusion, no one could suppress this demon queen incarnate. If they didn’t kill Jiang Yi, she was afraid that Shui Qianrou would carry on making a huge fuss.

Grandma Hun glanced at the college with hate-filled eyes before finally bringing Shui Qianrou and sprinted towards the Spirit Beast City.

…

“Bang!”

In a small courtyard of the Mt. Spirit Beast College, the surface of the earth suddenly burst apart. Ji Lao rushed out of the ground, dragging along Jiang Yi and the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, who were bound by the Devil-Sky Silk.

“Jiang Yi!””Big Brother Jiang Yi!”

Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Lin’er were anxiously waiting from the beginning. The Zhan Clan naturally had scouts in the Spirit Beast City—two of which were under the orders of Zhan Wushuang and placed in the Mt. Black Clouds. When he first received news about Jiang Yi, he immediately sought assistance from Ji Lao.

Ji Lao highly regarded Zhan Wushuang since he was the only descendant of the Battle God generation. He would definitely become the future Clan Head of the Zhan Clan, too. Ji Lao didn’t guarantee that he would be able to save Jiang Yi, but he still set off at the first notice. He had a strange magical art that allowed him to traverse underground. It was also why he was able to swiftly rescue Jiang Yi.

Of course… even if he didn’t step in, with Zhuge Qingyun involved, Grandma Hun wouldn’t dare to harm Jiang Yi.

“Wushuang! Lin’er!”

Jiang Yi was being restrained by the Devil-Sky Silk and could move his mouth. He could only speak while being muffled. Once back within the college, he knew he was completely safe; but he was worried, too. How was he going to undo the restrains from the Devil-Sky Silk? Did he truly have to sacrifice the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf and use the Fire Spirit Rock?

“What is this thing?”

Zhan Wushuang used both his hands to pull on the Devil Sky Silk forcefully and found out that he couldn’t tear it apart. He had no choice but to seek help from Ji Lao.

“Devil-Sky Silk! One of the heaven-tier artifacts that brought fame to the Water Moon Observatory Hostess!”

Ji Lao explained: “Young Lord. Don’t waste your strength. Don’t even mention yourself, even if I am to release my essence force, it will not do any damage to this Devil-Sky Silk. We can only go ask Zhuge Qingyun now. If he doesn’t have any solution either, Jiang Yi may have to die while being trapped inside.”
