With Qian Wanguan present, the Moon Mirror Lake became even more festive. As based on the Mystic Divine Palace’s Heaven Evasion speed, the journey to Stellarsky Continent would take no more than ten days, Jiang Yi decided not to cultivate but spent his days accompanying everyone, drinking and chatting. Occasionally, he would go and see Yin Ruobing and Mo Yao’er as well.

“Feng’er, Little Qing Yu, we are almost reaching the Phoenix Cry Continent. Do you two want to go back and take a look?”

After a few days, Jiang Yi brought the Mystic Divine Palace out from its Heaven Evasion state and realized that they have reached the Hidden Dragon Continent near the Phoenix Cry Continent. He hurriedly found Feng Luan and Qing Yu and asked them.

“The Phoenix Cry Continent?”

Feng Luan and Qing Yu’s eyes lit up suddenly, and they looked nostalgic. However, Feng Luan said quickly, ‘Young Master, can you help us to check if the Phoenix Cry Continent is peaceful? If there isn’t anything bad happening, we can visit after the trip to Stellarsky Continent.”

“Very well then.”

Feng Luan always had her own ideas and views; Jiang Yi did not persuade further. He used his Divine Perception and scanned the Phoenix Cry Continent before opening his eyes and saying, “The continent is very peaceful. En, it is still the same as before with the women being dominant. I think a new Thearch has emerged.”

“That’s great! Let’s go to Stellarsky Continent first then. Your matter is more urgent. Furthermore, we can come back anytime we want from now on.” Feng Luan nodded. Jiang Yi did not press further and used Heaven Evasion again. He was prepared to traverse the Phoenix Cry Continent and head directly to the Desolate East Sea before finally going to the Stellarsky Continent.

“Something had indeed happened!”

Two days later, the Mystic Divine Palace appeared in the Desolate East Sea. Jiang Yi used his Divine Perception to scan the area, and his expression changed. Countless sea demons were killing each other. The demonic beasts in the Desolate East Sea were on a rampage, just like the Beast Tide that year.

“Go!”

Jiang Yi did not concern himself with the sea demons that were fighting all about. He immediately used Heaven Evasion and headed towards the Stellarsky Continent. He conveyed what he had seen to Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang. Both of them suddenly became tense. Qian Wanguan was both shocked and curious as he said, “That does not make sense. The last Beast Tide had only passed a few years ago. Furthermore, if it really was a Beast Tide, the ten peak-stage Heaven Monarchs I had left behind could have easily dealt with the situation. Brother, you also know that there are no Demon Sovereigns in the Desolate East Sea; if this was the case, why did Father send out a cry for help?”

“There is something amiss. Since the Beast Tide had occurred, why has it not attacked the Phoenix Cry Continent?” Zhan Wushuang also could not make sense of the situation as he asked. When Jiang Yi had scanned the Phoenix Cry Continent previously, he had found that all was well.

Jiang Yi could not think of any reason either. However, as their current position was not far from the Stellarsky Continent, they could probably reach there in one or two days. There was no point in talking about this anymore now; they could only wait till they arrived at the Stellarsky Continent.

...

Tsk! Tsk!

Two days later, at dusk, there was turbulence in the spatial zone fifty kilometers east of Starfall Island. The Mystic Divine Palace shot out from the fissure in the spatial zone, and Jiang Yi immediately released his Divine Perception. The results of his scan changed his face pale white!

“What is it? Boss!” Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang immediately stood up as they look anxiously at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi’s eyes were slightly red as he took deeps breaths, his voice trembling as he spoke, “Starfall Island has been slaughtered. There are bodies everywhere. No one survived.”

“What?”

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang’s faces changed; Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian’s faces also became very serious.

The number one martial expert on the Stellarsky Continent, Shui Youlan lived in Starfall Island; there were also strong restrictions surrounding the island. The last time the Beast Tide had assaulted Starfall Island, the island had not suffered any damage at all. Now the restrictions had failed? The island was also full of corpses.

However, what made Jiang Yi breathe a little easier was that he did not see the bodies of Shui Youlan and Shui Qianrou among the dead. Furthermore, he did not find the bodies of the few elders from the Water Moon Observatory that he was familiar with; they most probably had escaped.

Swish!

The Mystic Divine Palace sped forward as quickly as it could, with Jiang Yi continuing to investigate using his Divine Perception. A few minutes later, Jiang Yi’s body shuddered; and he almost crashed into the ground. He opened his eyes and looked at a few pairs of anxious eyes staring back at him. He gritted his teeth and said, “The few thousand people on the island had all been killed. Their bodies were all bitten by sea demons. My grandfather and General Lu have gone missing!”

“This...”

Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan’s eyes both turned red. Jiang Yunhai was Jiang Yi’s grandfather, which meant that he was also their grandfather. Now, he had gone missing? Who knew if he had been eaten by a demonic beast or had been taken captive by them?

Jiang Yi repeatedly scanned a few times and confirmed that Jiang Yunhai’s body was not among the dead. He immediately sent his Divine Perception towards the Stellarsky Continent. Within a few minutes, a huge killing aura rose from his body; that aura was so fearsome that Qian Wanguan and company, including Feng Luan and the rest who were far away, all shuddered as their eyes filled with fear.

“Goddammit!”

Jiang Yi opened his eyes and started to spew expletives, his face becoming red. He single-handedly slammed the table in front of him, and it turned into a fine powder. The wooden board below was also destroyed, with water surging in.

“Boss, what is the situation like?” Qian Wanguan was very terrified, and his whole body was trembling. He was so very nervous.

Jiang Yi did not say anything. He closed his eyes as he used the Mystic Divine Palace’s Heaven Evasion and moved forward. Within one hour, the Mystic Divine Palace once again broke out of Heaven Evasion. Once it surfaced, Jiang Yi used his divine senses and scanned the vicinity. He immediately shouted out loud, saying, “Everyone, get out there and kill all the bastards outside!”

Buzz!

The Mystic Divine Palace’s main door opened, and Qian Wanguan brought a thousand Heaven Monarch martial artists. They were teleported outside. Jiang Yi, Feng Luan, and company were also sent out. Jiang Yi kept the Mystic Divine Palace and roared, “Everyone to scatter and wipe out the demonic beasts!”

“Damn it, I’ll kill you all!”

Qian Wanguan looked about and suddenly he was beside himself with rage as he yelled and dashed forward. Zhan Wushuang became a black shadow and raced forward while a pseudo-divine artifact appeared in Yun Fei’s hands as she also burst forth, her eyes filled with a red glare.

The ground below them was like hell; this was supposed to be the northeast of the continent, the territory of the Northern Mang Kingdom. There was even a huge city here. At this moment, the city was filled with sea demons; and countless humans were still fleeing. However, these were all normal civilians and did not have any fighting strength at all. How could they outrun the pursuit of the sea demons?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A thousand Heaven Monarch together with the crazed Jiang Yi and company all attacked. The sea demons were mainly all tier-three sea demons; although they were numerous, they were mowed down by Jiang Yi and company like grass. Within ten minutes, they had all been wiped out.

“Everyone, listen to me. All of you are to form into troops of a hundred strong and fly north, south, and east. You are to kill all the sea demons on the continent.”

Jiang Yi calmed down after launching a killing spree and ordered all the martial experts from Sin Island to cleanse the continent of sea demons. He himself led a group of men and hurriedly flew towards the west. They swiftly reached another city, and with one strike from his hand, he destroyed the city’s restrictions. He sped inside and growled, “Who is in charge here? Come out!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Many Soul Travel Realm martial artists had flown out when the city shields were destroyed. However, when they sensed the fearsome auras from Jiang Yi and company, they were all frightened to the core. A peak-stage Soul Travel Realm general trembled as he flew up and took a few looks at Jiang Yi. His body shuddered vigorously as he massaged his eyes in shock and said, “You, you are the Lord Regent Jiang Yi?”

“Lord Regent!”

The entire city was in an uproar. Many people took a closer look at Jiang Yi, and within an instant, all were kneeling on the ground as they greeted unanimously, “The Lord Regent is back, the Lord Regent is back! There is hope for the continent now!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes revealed his sorrow and pain as he forced himself to sharpen up. He looked at the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm and asked, “What on earth has happened? Why is it that more than half of the continent had fallen to the enemy? Where are Yun Tianqing and Grandma Silver Flower? How about Shui Youlan? Where are the family heads of the Qian Clan and the Zhan Clan?”

“I do not know as well!”

That general’s face was full of sorrow as he said, “More than a month ago, the Beast Tide had appeared. This time, it was many times stronger than before. The eastern defensive line was broken quickly, with a million troops perishing in battle. Almost at the same time, His Majesty, Supreme Marshal of the Empire Silver Flower, High Teacher Qian, General Zhan, General Rentu, Principal Qi, and others all went missing at the same time. Even Crown Prince Yun Xian had disappeared. The continent was thrown into chaos as the sea demons started attacking indiscriminately, with no one to stop them. On the continent, only a few dozen cities around this area have not yet fallen. As for other places, everybody had died!”

Boom!

Yun Fei’s vision turned black as she fainted. Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan also almost fainted upon hearing this. The hundreds of millions of people on the Stellarsky Continent had become fodder for the sea demons; Qian Gui, Zhan Yiming, and others were nowhere to be found. If Jiang Yi and company had come a few days later, the whole Stellarsky Continent would probably have been annihilated. No one could withstand hearing such news.
