Chapter 1551: Heaven-Splitting Army

Inside a castle in the Demon-Buster Valley, Yi Chan and company were sitting in the guest hall. Although they looked rather calm and composed, they obviously were feeling anxious and uneasy. If not, they would not be sitting here and would be cultivating within their room.

After staying in the Demon-Buster Valley for a day, the three had decided to take a break from cultivating and went to sit in the guest hall. They wanted to see if Qi Qingchen had returned. The trio felt as if every day was like a year in this place. However, Qi Qingchen had not returned yet; that meant they could not go anywhere at all.

“My three big sisters, there are a few beautiful places in the Demon-Buster Valley; shall I accompany you guys to take a look?”

After spending one day together, Di Ling’er and the trio’s relationship had improved vastly. Di Ling’er had thought things through: it was an unchangeable fact that these three women were Jiang Yi’s official wives. Since she could not change this fact, she could only learn to accept it. Loving someone on account of another, Di Ling’er’s attitude towards the three ladies also changed. Yi Chan and company’s characters were very nice, and after spending a bit of time with Di Ling’er, they actually started to grow fond of her.

“Little Sister Ling’er is very kind.” Yi Chan shook her head, sighed, and said, “Our husband has not yet returned; how could we think of enjoying ourselves?”

Di Ling’er’s eyes lit up. Although she had asked this many times, she still kept on asking, “Big Sister Chan, are you really sure that Jiang Yi is still alive?”

Yi Chan smiled bitterly and said, “I am! I definitely am! Our husband is definitely alive; he should be trapped somewhere. As long as we enter the Purgatory Mystic Realm, I will be able to sense his location; and we can then find him.”

“Alright, once Big Sister Qingchen returns, we will head to the Purgatory Mystic Realm immediately!” Di Ling’er’s eyes lit up as she said this. It seemed like she was going to get another chance at her first love.

Shh-shh-shh!

At this moment, a sound of shuffling footsteps could be heard as a red figure appeared at the door. She saw that there were three more strangers within the castle and was instinctively stunned. Her gaze turned to Di Ling’er and asked curiously, “Little Sister Ling’er, why have you come? Who are these people?”

“Big Sister Huaisang, have you just returned from a mission?”

Di Ling’er hurriedly stood up, walked over, and said affectionately, “These are Jiang Yi’s wives. My three Big Sisters, this is Young Mistress Mo Huaisang; she is the Sovereign’s granddaughter. She is Jiang Yi’s friend as well.”

“Greetings to Young Mistress Mo,” Yi Chan and company rose and greeted.

“Oh? You guys are Jiang Yi’s wives.”

Mo Huaisang forced a smile and bantered for a while. However, she was not very interested in continuing the conversation further. In her heart, Jiang Yi was already dead; he was eons apart from her and would never appear in her world again. Hence, she couldn’t be bothered with Jiang Yi’s three wives.

Di Ling’er sent a voice transmission to Mo Huaisang, saying that Jiang Yi could actually still be alive. However, Mo Huaisang’s nose wrinkled; she did not believe that at all. More than twenty days had passed; even Heavenly King You would have perished in there. How could Jiang Yi still be alive?

Mo Huaisang also did not have any authority to send the group into the Purgatory Mystic Realm; even if she had, she wouldn’t help. Hence, she chose to leave after exchanging formalities and casual conversation. Since this castle was full of people now, she’d rather stay in her father’s castle and make more space for people here.

After Mo Huaisang left, Di Ling’er explained a little apologetically, “Please do not mind her, my three Big Sisters. Young Mistress Huaisang isn’t feeling happy these days…”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Yi Chan did not mind at all. After all, it was normal that a Sovereign’s granddaughter would have some airs. The three sat around for a while longer and went back to their room to continue cultivating. They intended to cultivate for a while before coming out to wait for more news.

However—

After merely twenty-odd hours, the restrictions on the room shone brightly as Yi Chan and company were startled. They walked out and saw that Mo Huaisang had actually returned?

“My three Big Sisters, I have great news. Let’s talk inside.”

Di Ling’er was filled with excitement as she pulled Yi Chan and company into the room. Mo Huaisang followed along and also activated the restrictions to the room. Di Ling’er then said elatedly, “My three Big Sisters, Young Mistress Huaisang is prepared to help us enter the Purgatory Mystic Realm; we will depart in twenty hours.”

“En?”

Yi Chan instinctively grew a little cautious. After all, Mo Huaisang seemed to look down on them; why would she suddenly want to help? Also, how did she have the authority to do so?

Di Ling’er saw that Yi Chan had become wary as she explained softly, “This is the situation: the Heaven-Splitting Army had just received a very large-scale operation to exterminate the Lunar Beasts in the Purgatory Mystic Realm. As the Purgatory Mystic Realm is a very dangerous place, all ten troops of the Heaven-Splitting Army are mobilizing this time; a full two hundred thousand formidable martial artists!

“Big Sister Huaisang is now a clerk in one of the bigger troops within the Heaven-Splitting Army; their commander is the Little Eagle King. With Big Sister Huaisang’s assistance, we can easily infiltrate the army and follow them to the Purgatory Mystic Realm. We can secretly go and look for Jiang Yi; we will also definitely be safe if we followed the Heaven-Splitting Army.

“This…”

Yi Chan was still a little doubtful. She thought about it and asked, “Let’s ask Poison Spirit about this matter. If he agrees, I have nothing to say.”

Poison Spirit was Jiang Yi’s most loyal subordinate; he also knew many things regarding the Earth Domain. Yi Chan did not dare to make such a huge decision on her own.

After Mo Huaisang heard this, she grew a little displeased as she said coldly, “It is already an offense to sneak you all into the army. If the Little Eagle King were to find out, he would definitely find trouble with me. If I wasn’t giving face to Jiang Yi, I wouldn’t help at all; you guys are now reluctant to go? In that case… you guys can continue to wait for Qi Qingchen’s return!”

Di Ling’er saw that Mo Huaisang was angry as she hurriedly grabbed onto Mo Huaisang’s arm and begged, “Big Sister Huaisang, please help us to the end; let Poison Spirit follow us. After all, Poison Spirit is very powerful; we would be even safer. Adding one more person wouldn’t harm, right?”

Mo Huaisang glared at Di Ling’er as she sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, call Poison Spirit in!”

Di Ling’er hurriedly brought Poison Spirit in as she then activated the room’s restrictions once more. After Di Ling’er had explained everything to Poison Spirit, his eyes lit up for a moment, but it was soon replaced with a look of caution and wariness.

Missions to the Purgatory Mystic Realm were very rare; even if there were, only formidable martial artists would be tasked to complete them. After all, the Demonic Repellent there would cause many ordinary soldiers to go crazy or berserk. This time, two hundred thousand Heaven-Splitting Army soldiers were heading there together?

This was not very logical.

The crux was… the Heaven-Splitting Army had ten big troops. Each troop had twenty thousand men. The Little Eagle King commanded one such troop while another troop used to be under You Tianni. After You Tianni became a crippled, Bai Ditian had taken over as commander. All the young masters were also all in that troop. This group of men had a deep-seated hatred for Jiang Yi.

Poison Spirit thought about it as he asked, “Young Mistress Huaisang, what is the mission to the Purgatory Mystic Realm this time?”

Mo Huaisang’s face revealed a sliver of annoyance. However, considering Poison Spirit’s battle strength and reputation, she explained, “It is but an ordinary mission. In intervals, each troop would head out to the vicinity of the Teleportation Formation to lure Lunar Beasts over to be killed. This is to reduce the number of Lunar Beasts in the Purgatory Mystic Realm.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Poison Spirit was relieved. If it was such a mission, it was actually normal to send out so many troops. With the entire army gathering near the Teleportation Formation and taking turns to battle, they would suffer fewer losses while they would not be affected by the Demonic Repellent as there were powerful restrictions in the mountain peaks surrounding the Teleportation Formation.

After thinking about it, Poison Spirit was still a little uneasy. He asked again, “Will the Heaven-Splitting Army general be leading the army? Will the Little Eagle King participate?”

“Why are you so long-winded?”

Mo Huaisang was really getting a little annoyed. She explained coldly, “Since this mission involves the entire Heaven-Splitting Army, of course, the general is leading. Little Eagle King is a commander of the Heaven-Splitting Army; how could he not join in as well?”

“Alright! Could Young Mistress Huaisang please make some arrangements; we will follow the Heaven-Splitting Army to the Purgatory Mystic Realm.”

Poison Spirit was completely at ease now. The Heaven-Splitting Army general was one of Heavenly King Wu’s men. Also, the Little Eagle King would definitely lend a hand on account of Jiang Xiaonu if something were to happen. Bai Ditian and company weren’t that ballsy to try something with both the general and Little Eagle King around, right?

As long as they entered the Purgatory Mystic Realm and when Yi Chan sensed Jiang Yi’s position, Poison Spirit would then be able to find Jiang Yi on his own. If Yi Chan, Di Ling’er, and company stuck with Mo Huaisang and remained with the Heaven-Splitting Army, how could anything go wrong?
