Chapter 1657: Not to Give Any One of Our Disciples Up

“That’s right!”

Another elder of the Demon-Killing Pavilion stood up and said, “Since Dao Nù has already gathered the Azure Supreme Thearch Army and the Azure Supreme Thearch has not said anything about it, it must be that he is allowing the Dao Clan to hunt Jiang Yi down. If we step in and protect Jiang Yi, wouldn’t we be pitting ourselves against the Azure Supreme Thearch? Why should we ruin the alliance among the human race for the sake of one young man? Pavilion Lord, you have to think carefully about this...”

“A talent...”

A third elder stood up and sighed softly. “He has only ascended for less than half a year, and yet he can already kill King-Ranked martial artists, murder Dao Feng, and escape hundreds of King-Ranked martial artists and a five-million-strong army at the Chaos Sea to come to the Heaven Domain. This Jiang Yi has already boosted our reputation considerably, but they are right. Jiang Yi has caused too much trouble.

“The Dao Clan will not be able to take this lying down. The Azure Supreme Thearch is being dragged down as well. That is why I think that we cannot step in to protect him. However, we can send people to help him in secret. They can help him escape being killed, so that he would be able to survive.

“After all, he is one of our Demon-Killing Pavilion’s disciples. The Supreme Thearch has said before that we are not to give any one of our disciples up. This is a basic principle of the Demon-Killing Pavilion.”

“Alright!”

Xiang Kui made up his mind and jumped to his feet. “We’ll do as Second Elder says. Second Elder, see to this matter. If we can save him, we will try our best to do so.”

“Yes!” This chapter is updated by NoᴠelFɪre.net

Now that Xiang Kui had given the order, the remaining ten elders dared not say anything more. Each of them went to make arrangements according to his instructions. Xiang Kui remained in the main hall alone for a long time. He let out a long sigh and said, “Supreme Thearch, Xiang Kui is useless. I could not bring myself to take that last step. If I had your combat ability and aggression, why would I stand by and watch as one of our own disciples get hunted down and killed?”

...

Jiang Yi was hidden. Why else would the army and the King-Ranked martial artists be unable to find him? However, he was in pain.

At that moment, he was in the Azure Wind City. This was the same city that he first entered. The people in the city were sent in all directions by his attacks on them.

This was not the Chaos Sea. Divine senses were not restricted here. King-Ranked martial artists would easily be able to find him. He guessed that he was still near the Dao Clan’s territory as well. As the most powerful clan among the Azure Supreme Thearch’s subordinates, the Dao Clan had unimaginable power and authority.

Thus, Jiang Yi knew that he would not be able to escape as hard as he tried.

Since that was the case, his only choice was to remain hidden. At last, he chose to hide in Azure Wind City. This was because the city was more chaotic. He had already destroyed more than a hundred castles and burned many people in them as well.

The messier a place was, the better it would be for hiding. After he attacked the second city, he immediately turned back around to return to Azure Wind City. What’s more, he even managed to sneak into the... wounded barracks.

That’s right: the wounded barracks!

When he attacked this city, he released some flames that burned tens of thousands of people in the city. All these people were low-grade martial artists. The City Lord sent all of them into several huge manors, gave them several recuperation medicines, and then left them alone to heal.

Jiang Yi was burned as well. His entire face was charred. In fact, there was not a single area on his entire body that was not burned. That was why he was in pain.

This was the only solution that was available to him. This was because many people had his portrait. If he did not destroy his own face, he would be recognized for sure. If he did not injure himself, how would he be able to sneak into the wounded barracks?

The fact that he could burn himself beyond recognition showed that Jiang Yi was ruthless. Ordinary people probably would not have the guts to do something like that. At the base of the mountain, he kept his Fire Spirit Pearl and his Heavenly Wind Armor, along with the rest of the treasures on his body. Then, he summoned a bit of flames and ignited his entire body with it.

With the divine tree leaf, he could have easily recovered. He could have slowly reduced the pain that he was in. Yet, he chose to endure it. What’s more, he did not even dare to enter the Azure Wind City. Instead, he waited for an hour at the base of the mountain. He waited until he was just about to pass out before he was discovered by someone, carried into the city, and thrown into the wounded barracks.

Once he got there, he did not dare to heal himself too quickly. He needed to stay there for a while to ride this storm out. If he recovered too soon, would he still be allowed to remain in the wounded barracks?

The manors contained all the wounded soldiers of the city. The City Lord sent people to search nearby and stand guard inside the city. However, nobody expected that Jiang Yi would be hiding among the casualties.

Nobody even bothered about the wounded barracks. The important people of the city did not even bother coming down to visit them. After all, the stench in the barracks was unbearable; and the place was far too dirty. People were lying around all over the place, whining, moaning, and cursing under their breaths.

Jiang Yi lay in a corner. He was so burned that even his own mother would not be able to recognize him. Naturally, the people around him did not recognize him either.

He could not even move or speak. Jiang Yi kept his eyes closed and tried to ignore the searing pain throughout his entire body. Two kind-hearted people had checked on him at first, but when he ignored them, they decided not to show any more concern.

It was hard to imagine.

He was enduring the pain and torture, knowing full well that he had the ability to lessen the pain and heal himself. Still, he hung on and endured. What’s more, he had to prevent himself from passing out. He had to stay conscious and feel the full pain; that made him feel like he was being eaten alive by tens of thousands of worms.

If someone else had been in his place, they would have given up a long time ago. They would either have healed themselves or passed out completely. Of course, Jiang Yi was no ordinary man. He had a very strong character and a special state: the State of the Union of Heaven and Man!

In this state, Jiang Yi could not feel the physical pain at all. However, he could not remain in that state for too long. From time to time, he would feel divine senses sweep past him. For fear of being exposed, he only allowed his soul spirit to take a break when he felt like he was on the brink of passing out.

Time passed by slowly.

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was tense the entire time. If the King-Ranked martial artists who were on his trail realized that he was here, he would be in danger of being exposed. After all, he could not change the aura of his soul spirit. He knew a mystical ability that could change the aura of his soul spirit—the Mirage Divine Ability, but this would be useless against King-Ranked martial artists.

Twenty hours, forty hours... a hundred hours!

Jiang Yi’s powerful body healed itself. Scabs were already forming over his burns. However, based on his looks alone, nobody would be able to recognize him. Finally, Jiang Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

A hundred hours had passed. This was not considered a long time, but since no one had been sent into this city to search for him, he guessed that nobody would be sent here in the short-term. In other words... perhaps Azure Wind City had already been searched, and nobody bothered to check among the casualties. As long as he kept his identity hidden, he would be safe here.

For now, he was safe. However, Jiang Yi remained troubled. This was because he had no idea how to leave this city or how to leave the Dao Clan’s territory. Every day that he remained on the Dao Clan’s territory, he was in danger of being killed.

Many people’s injuries were almost completely healed. They left the wounded barracks and headed back to their own homes or clans. As more and more people left, Jiang Yi became even more confused. He could not possibly stay there forever, could he?

“Go, go into the city and look!”

After pondering for a long while, he decided to leave the wounded barracks and walk around outside while there were still scabs on his face. On the one hand, he wanted to survey the situation. On the other hand, he wanted to find another place where he could hide.

He limped out of the manor, bandages hanging from every limb on his body. Half of his face was bandaged as well. He looked so miserable that people could not bear sparing him a second glance. Nobody cared about him. After all, far too many people were leaving the manors at this point.

Jiang Yi walked out onto the main street of the city. Most castles that he destroyed had already been rebuilt. Calm and prosperity had been restored in the city as well. However, Jiang Yi still spotted many wounded people on the streets, and all of them had burn wounds. Although Jiang Yi attracted a lot of attention, people did not spend too long studying him.

He made one round around the city, and his heart sank. The restrictions around the city had been activated so that nobody could escape. Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and decided at last that he would look for an inn to stay in before thinking of a way out.

“Eh? A Demon-Killing Pavilion Branch Hall?”

In the city plaza, Jiang Yi spotted two huge castles belonging to the Demon-Killing Pavilion and the Battle God Pavilion respectively. His heart jumped. If he could enter the Demon-Killing Pavilion and ask for help, would he be able to leave the Dao Clan’s territory?
