Chapter 1585: Naive

“Bullsh*t!”

Heavenly King You’s entire body was trembling uncontrollably. Wasn’t it obvious that Qi Qingchen was on Jiang Yi’s side?

If they allowed her to stand guard, wouldn’t it be akin to hitting a dog with meat buns? He glanced at Qi Qingchen and said, “Qi Qingchen, don’t treat us as fools. Do you think we don’t know the relationship between you and Jiang Yi?”

“There is no other choice.”

Qi Qingchen shrugged her shoulders and said, “Then, Commander-in-Chief You will have to act on your own. We have no other way. Commander-in-Chief You’s battle skills are matchless. You won’t be afraid of the Prairie Flames for sure.”

“Qingchen, be dismissed.”

The Wintry Sovereign’s was expressionless, but with a cold tone, he scolded Qi Qingchen, “You’re so rude to your elders. How can you talk to Commander-in-Chief You like this? Do you need to validate Old You’s battle skills? What are mere Prairie Flames to him?”

“…”

White River King and Heaven Desert King both rolled their eyes. The Wintry Sovereign and his daughter were obviously trying to kick Heavenly King You while he was down. Mere Prairie Flames? You Feng’s entire body had been barbequed.

You Feng was so infuriated by their words that he could not even say a word. Heavenly King Wu finally could not withstand it any longer. He waved his hand and said, “Brother Qi, don’t bother about Qi Qingchen’s matters. If you want to watch the drama unfold, stand aside. You Feng is in a bad mood. Don’t anger him any further.”

You Feng had to listen to Heavenly King Wu. Qi Qingchen wanted to get two more words in, but Wintry Sovereign quickly led her away, back to their Divine Boat.

“Majesty Father!”

The moment they entered the Divine Boat, Qi Qingchen became anxious. She asked, “Why are we not bothering to do anything? Didn’t you promise me before that you would think of a way to rescue Jiang Yi?”

“The problem is… how should I do that?”

The Wintry Sovereign’s expression hardened as he chided, “Why don’t you take a look at the situation? If Jiang Yi was not surrounded right now, we might still have a chance. However, seven King-Ranked martial artists are all present. Even if we decide to go against all odds and rescue him by force, we will fail. What’s more, Jiang Yi is in the wrong this time. If we continue to cause trouble, do you know what the outcome will be?

“I am going to the Heaven Domain soon, and yet you are still so irrational. How can I rest assured and leave the Wintry Domain to you? As a sovereign of a domain and the head of a household, you have to think of your family clan and the domain’s interests first.”

Qi Qingchen fell silent. A look of pain and conflict appeared on her face.

The Wintry Sovereign was right. If she was not going to be the future sovereign of the Wintry Domain, she could afford to be stubborn and break all the rules with Jiang Yi. However, given her status, she had to think of her family clan and the domain first. There were many things that she did not have the liberty to do.

“Let’s wait and see!”

The Wintry Sovereign looked at Qi Qingchen, his heart hurting. He sighed and mumbled, “I can only promise that if there’s a possibility, I will help Jiang Yi in secret. If there isn’t such an opportunity, we cannot do anything even if Jiang Yi dies before our very eyes.”

“There will be an opportunity for sure.”

Qi Qingchen’s eyes brightened. “Jiang Yi has a very powerful fire-resistant treasure. They won’t dare to kill their way in.”

“Naive!”

The Wintry Sovereign laughed mockingly and shook his head. “See for yourself. They’ll find a way soon enough. A little Lava Wasteland is not going to hold seven King-Ranked martial artists back.”

As expected by the Wintry Sovereign…

An hour later, Yellow Lion King’s eyes brightened as he said, “Heheh, I have a plan to kill Jiang Yi easily.”

The other six people turned to him at once. You Feng’s eyes were killing with killing intent. In a sharp tone, he said, “Yellow Lion King, speak!”

“Very simple!”

The Yellow Lion King pointed at the Lava Wasteland below and said, “We have to join forces to… destroy this Lava Wasteland!”

“Destroy it?”

Countless people were shocked by this idea. Suddenly, their eyes lit up. This wasteland was not huge. If they worked together, they would be more than capable of destroying this wasteland. If they kept attacking it, the wasteland would fall apart; and the Prairie Flames would dissipate. Without Prairie Flames, Jiang Yi would be like fresh fish on a pan. They would be free to kill or slaughter him as they please.

“Good idea.”

You Feng shouted, “Old Wu, tell everyone to back off immediately. The seven of us will work together to attack and destroy the Lava Wasteland.”

“Very well then.”

Heavenly King Wu nodded and summoned Yi Zu in. Then, he passed down orders to steer the Divine Boats further away, so that they formed a bigger circle. Otherwise, once they destroyed the Lava Wasteland and caused the Prairie Flames to dissipate, nearby soldiers would inadvertently become collateral damage.

One by one, the instructions passed down to other soldiers. The Divine Boats moved back as soon as they received the instructions. All of them retreated a total of five thousand kilometers, forming a huge circle outside. The Wintry Sovereign’s Divine Boat retreated as well, but it only retreated a hundred kilometers, to observe the battle from afar.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

You Feng had not fully recovered, and the skin on his face was still black. However, he could not afford to think too much anymore. The seven of them flew out of their Chaos Divine Boats and kept them. Then, they each took their positions and surrounded the Lava Wasteland to prevent Jiang Yi from running away. They began to attack the Lava Wasteland from different directions. This would make it easier for them to destroy it.

“Not good…”

Far away, the Earth Emanations King cursed under his breath. No Primordial Astral Gas surrounded the Lava Wasteland; all there was were huge rocks. The seven King-Ranked martial artists would easily destroy the wasteland. Even one King-Ranked martial artist would be able to do it. Without the Lava Wasteland, what could Jiang Yi depend on?

The Phantom King’s expression darkened. If they worked together with the Wintry Sovereign to rescue Jiang Yi, it would not be difficult for them to get away. However, there were many things that they could not do out in the open. If they were seen to break the rules, the Earth Domain would descend into chaos.

All three of them did not think it would be worth it to allow the Earth Domain to descend into chaos and destruction, all for one person. They were all sovereigns of their respective domains and heads of their respective households. There were too many things that they had to consider.

Tsk, tsk! He, he! Swish, swish!

The seven people had already begun attacking the wasteland. They each stood at their allocated positions and shot powerful beams of light at the Lava Wasteland. Seven earth-shaking crashes were heard as the entire wasteland shook. Seven deep pits appeared. Seven streaks of light stretched out into the horizon.

The King-Ranked martial artists’ attacks were frightening. The Lava Wasteland was just one huge rock. It would be too easy to destroy it.

Hoo-Hoo!

As the ground shook, the flames contained in the valley in the center of the Lava Wasteland spewed out, shooting up to five kilometers in height. The air all around Jiang Yi began to burn up. However, the seven formidable martial artists were at least fifty kilometers from the Lava Wasteland. The high temperature felt from that distance did not affect them whatsoever.

Swish, swish, swish! Swish, swish, swish!

One by one, huge streams of light kept hitting the wasteland. The seven people attacked, each from their own direction, causing their respective pits to grow deeper and deeper. Cracks stretched in every direction, widening with each blow.

“Goddammit!”

Jiang Yi was right in the center of the Lava Wasteland. At that moment, he felt like the sky was falling. Once he heard the first seven explosions, he knew—without having to investigate—that the seven King-Ranked martial artists had joined forces to attack the wasteland. They were planning to destroy it.

Yet, what could he do?

All he could do was stand by and watch as the Lava Wasteland fell to pieces. What’s more, he had to lead the Heaven-Swallowing Beast out of here. As the Lava Wasteland kept shaking, the Prairie Flames in the middle became more and more unstable. They were spreading in all directions. If they enveloped them, Jiang Yi would probably be burned alive.

Boom!

He would think as he went along. After another series of aggressive attacks, the Prairie Flames finally began to flow towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was going to find himself covered in the flames in just a second.
