Buzz!

That huge sword descended from above as suddenly, three different colors of light lit up. These colors all signified different characteristics; they actually were a Merged Quintessence of three quintessences!

Dao Feng had previously unleashed a Merged Quintessence that was a combination of two quintessences while, on Ethereal Spirit Island, Dao Leng had also released a Merged Quintessence combining three quintessences; Jiang Yi knew how powerful this attack was.

Furthermore, this lass’ quintessences flashed gold, black, and gray. It contained the sharpness and lethality of a gold-element quintessence, the destructive force of a destruction quintessence, and the heaviness of a death quintessence. These were three very overbearing quintessence. Jiang Yi had underestimated this lass; based on this attack, her battle power was definitely no weaker than Heavenly King Wu’s!

What should I do?

At the brink of life and death, Jiang Yi’s brain worked furiously. He would not be able to evade this move using his speed alone. If he used his Heavenly Wind Armor to withstand head-on—while the battle armor might not break apart, he could probably be shaken to death. Even if the impact didn’t blow apart his brain, his soul spirit could be heavily damaged; he might become an idiot.

Buzz!

Finally, he had no choice but to release his mummy. Since he had already revealed his Heavenly Wind Armor—as long as this lass activated her vast networks to investigate, his identity was bound to be revealed. Jiang Yi was about to be killed, and he couldn’t care about so much anymore. The huge mummy appeared in front of him and was struck by that gigantic sword immediately.

Boom!

The mummy was knocked back furiously, bringing Jiang Yi along with it as a terrifying aura envelope Jiang Yi. A mouthful of blood surged through Jiang Yi’s throat, though he actually managed to suppress it at the last minute.

When he was being knocked backward, he swiftly withdrew the mummy. Jiang Yi swept his divine senses on it as he was secretly relieved. This lass’ attack was actually still far from Dao Leng’s. It had merely left a scar on the mummy’s head and had not split the mummy apart.

Jiang Yi retreated for ten thousand feet as he steadied himself. On the other side, General Yun was still standing upright in midair. Her long sword had returned to its original size. Her huge eyes stared amusingly at Jiang Yi as she snorted and said, “I was wondering who you were; you are the famous Earth Domain’s number-one genius. No wonder you dare to pick a quarrel with me.”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly as he cupped his hands and said, “General Yun, it wasn’t that I want to pick a quarrel with you. My brothers and I have long admired the Nine Yang Army and have come a long way to enlist here. We had finally passed the test and had been assigned to Flying Feather Army; yet we were humiliated time and again. Even the calmest and most composed person would have times he would get angry.”

“Admired?”

General Yun laughed coldly as she said, “You are being hunted by the Dao Clan and now have nowhere to go, that’s why you want to hide within the Nine Yang Army, right? Jiang Yi, now that your identity has been exposed, aren’t you afraid that I would report you? The Dao Clan has ten-odd King-Ranked martial artists in the Nine Yang City. As long as I send a message, Dao Nù and Dao Leng would arrive shortly.”

Jiang Yi looked at the lass calmly and said, “Would you report me?”

“Well, this depends on my mood!”

General Yun raised her head, thought about something, and said, “Jiang Yi, I will give you two options. One… join the Yun Clan. With me around—even if the Dao Clan knows where you are, they would not be able to do anything to you as you are in the Flying Feather Army. Two… I will give you one day for you to flee as far as you can. One day later, I will report you to the Dao Clan.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi raised his head and laughed out loud, the red spots on his face crimping as he roared. He looked exceptionally savage like this. Jiang Yi stared at General Yun, smiled, and said, “Join the Yun Clan? Apologies; I will not submit to any clan. My temperament has always been like this; I do as I wish. You don’t even need to wait one day; you can report me now!”

Swish!

Jiang Yi walked briskly to the Teleportation Formation and teleported out. He did not look at General Yun again, and his back was as straight as ever.

“To dare to kill Dao Feng, charge into the Heaven Domain, and make trouble in the Azure Region; you are indeed someone special,” General Yun smiled as she murmured to herself. She also charged into the Teleportation Formation and departed from this space.

On the other side, Jiang Yi had appeared in the castle’s Teleportation Formation. He did not have a single wound on him and that stunned the tens of bodyguards present. Jiang Yi ignored them as he walked out. Once he walked out, another commotion arose when the ninety-odd men couldn’t hide their joy and shock.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Yi waved as he looked at Zhang Danian and company. He said, “Let’s go back and join some other army. This Flying Feather Army is too fancy for us…”

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

Zhang Danian and company didn’t have any more complaints; as long as they could leave now, they would be happy. However, everyone had just turned and was about to leave when a cold and crisp voice rang out, “Wait.”

Everyone’s heart sank. Jiang Yi turned and glared at General Yun who had appeared. He said, “General Yun, do you have any other instructions?”

“Jiang Wuming, you are a talent; I will make an exception and allow you guys to enter the Flying Feather Army. Commander Hu, these men will be under your command. Let Jiang Wuming be a senior captain.”

General Yun left this one sentence as she then walked briskly to the first castle and ignored Jiang Yi and company.

Inside the castle, a fully-bearded man walked out. He stared at Jiang Yi and company sternly as he said, “Since General had given her orders, you all will be part of the Flying Feather Army from now on. The Flying Feather Army is the most formidable in the Flying Feather Command. I hope that you all will cultivate diligently and fight valiantly so as to not bring shame to the Flying Feather Army.”

Zhang Danian and company did not move; they all looked at Jiang Yi. In this world, the strongest had the greatest say. Jiang Yi had fully established his strength, and he was now everyone’s superior; he made the call for all of them.

Jiang Yi hesitated. He did not know what game General Yun was playing. Was she trying to give him a false sense of security now and then report him? Jiang Yi then thought that this didn’t make sense. Reporting Jiang Yi would not bring her any benefits. It seemed as if the Nine Yang Army and Azure Supreme Thearch Army were not on good terms? That year, Dao Leng had also almost been killed by the thirty-six heavenly kings, right?

Could it be she wanted to keep him so that she could recruit him into the Yun Clan later on?

Jiang Yi thought about it further and ultimately decided to remain in the Flying Feather Army. General Yun now knew who he was. If he went to another command or army, there might be problems for him. If he stayed here, at least General Yun would think of potentially recruiting him in the future; that way, she would not expose him in the short-term.

“Jiang Wuming receives his orders.”

Jiang Yi led everyone and bowed as Zhang Danian and company followed along. “We receive Commander Hu’s orders.”

Commander Hu brought Jiang Yi and company to a castle far away as the spectators all dispersed as well.

In the first castle was a huge hall. General Yun sat at the main seat as a few bodyguards looked at her inquisitively. One of them ruminated for a while and blurted out, “Young Mistress, there is something wrong with Jiang Wuming!”

General Yun sipped her tea as she smiled like a fox, nodded, and said, “I know; if there wasn’t something wrong with him, I wouldn’t have kept him. Wait and see. Now that this person has joined the Flying Feather Army, things will start to liven up.”

“No!”

That bodyguard persisted and said, “General, I mean to say that there’s something suspicious about his identity. He is possibly…”

“Enough!”

General Yun started coldly at that bodyguard as he immediately stopped talking. She ordered coldly, “Regarding his identity—no matter what you guys have guessed or thought, no one is to leak any news about him. Send my order down that no one is to talk about Jiang Wuming to anyone outside. If not, I will kill that person.”

“Understood!”

All the bodyguards bowed and received their orders. However, many were still feeling confused and doubtful. It seemed as if their guesses had been accurate: Jiang Wuming was Jiang Yi. However, they couldn’t fathom what their General wanted by keeping Jiang Yi in the Flying Feather Army?

Things will start to liven up? What did she want with Jiang Yi?
