Chapter 1549: A Chance at Revenge

Shh-shh-shh!

When everyone had just reached the Teleportation Formation, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. A small, dainty figure entered the hall. Poison Spirit looked over as he exclaimed with surprise, “Young Mistress Ling’er?”

Di Ling’er looked at Yi Chan and the other ladies first as she smiled and nodded. She then looked at Poison Spirit and said, “Poison Spirit, I heard that you guys are heading to the Purgatory Mystic Realm to look for Jiang Yi? Is he really alive?”

“Keke, young mistress’ information network is indeed formidable.”

Mo Shangxing suddenly spoke as Poison Spirit blinked and smiled bitterly. This matter had just been settled a moment ago, and Di Ling’er already got wind of it. Di Ling’er must have been keeping close tabs on matters related to Jiang Yi. That meant that there was someone from the Di Clan within the Earth Emanations Castle.

Di Ling’er ignored the sarcasm in Mo Shangxing’s voice as she looked at Poison Spirit and said, “I want to go as well; Jiang Yi is definitely still alive.”

“This…”

Poison Spirit was in a bind. He shook his head and said, “Young Mistress Ling’er, I think you shouldn’t go. Pavilion Lord Di would never agree to this.”

Yi Chan and the other two ladies looked at Di Ling’er guardingly; they then exchanged glances as they all felt a little uncomfortable inside. This Young Mistress Ling’er seemed to be on good terms with Jiang Yi; any woman would be jealous of anything like this, and the three of them naturally were wary of Di Ling’er.

However, Di Ling’er’s next words weakened this feeling of wariness. She said, “My uncle had just become the Demon-Buster Army Internal Affairs Court Commander. Without my uncle, how would you guys teleport to the Purgatory Mystic Realm?”

“In that case, let’s go!”

Poison Spirit couldn’t be bothered anymore; Di Ling’er had decided on her own that she wanted to follow along. Furthermore, with Di Qianjun in the Demon-Buster Valley, even if they went there; Di Qianjun would definitely prevent Di Ling’er from taking this risk.

The Teleportation Formation lit up as everyone disappeared in a flash of white light. After teleporting for twelve hours, the group finally reached the Demon-Buster Valley. Although Yi Chan and company’s soul spirits had been raised to the peak-stage God General Realm, their heads still hurt. If they weren’t supporting each other, they would probably have collapsed onto the ground.

“Poison Spirit?”

Some Demon-Buster Army soldiers were guarding the Teleportation Formations in the city plaza and recognized Poison Spirit. Similarly, everyone knew Di Ling’er. Many people also looked at Yi Chan and the other two madams. Sensing that they were extremely weak, one commander walked by and said, “Poison Spirit, these three ladies have not reached the God King Realm; according to our rules, they cannot enter the Demon-Buster Army camp. You have to bring them and leave immediately.”

Poison Spirit swept a cold look at the commander and said coldly, “They are Jiang Yi’s wives; are you sure they cannot be here?”

“Jiang Yi?”

This commander didn’t dare to say anything else. Although Jiang Yi had died, his status and rank was still very special; how would a mere commander like him dare to offend? However, a commotion broke out around them as many people started to discuss the presence of Jiang Yi’s wives. What were they doing here? If they were here to pay their respects, they wouldn’t have waited so long before coming, right?

Poison Spirit waited for the three madams to recover. Without hesitation, he then brought them to the Fire Phoenix Army camp to ask Qi Qingchen for her help.

However—

When they reached the Fire Phoenix Army, all that greeted them was an empty camp with only a few guards left behind. The Fire Phoenix Army was evidently on a mission. Poison Spirit glanced at one of them and asked, “Where is the general? Where have they gone? How long before they return?”

This officer recognized Poison Spirit. Although Poison Spirit had already left the Fire Phoenix Army, he replied respectfully, “My Lord, the general had just left twenty-odd hours ago with the Fire Phoenix Army to the Black Fire Mystic Realm. As the destination is rather far this time, they would probably only return after seven to eight days.”

“Seven to eight days?”

Yi Chan and company’s faces changed. Although seven to eight days was considered short for people in the Higher Domain—as they had just ascended and had not adapted to the Higher Domain’s concept of time, seven to eight days felt very long to them; that was more than two Lower-Domain years.

“Oh, oh!”

Poison Spirit turned and said helplessly, “My three madams; let’s go and stay in the castle first. Without the general and the Fire Phoenix Army protecting us, I do not dare to bring you guys to the Purgatory Mystic Realm. If it is just the few of us, we will definitely die.”

“Alright then!”

Yi Chan knew the severity of the matter and didn’t act recklessly. She and the others followed Poison Spirit and Di Ling’er to the castle that Jiang Yi had previously resided in. Although Mo Huaisang was still living there, it shouldn’t be a problem if Di Ling’er spoke to her about this.

“Do not be anxious, my three big sisters!”

Although Di Ling’er was actually much older than Yi Chan and company by age—as the trio was Jiang Yi’s wives, she called them ‘big sisters’ as a sign of respect. She smiled sweetly as she said, “Once we have settled down, I will look for my uncle to think of an alternative way. As long as Jiang Yi is still alive, we will definitely be able to find him.”

Poison Spirit had sent a voice transmission to Di Ling’er, saying that Yi Chan deduced that Jiang Yi had not perished. Hearing this, Di Ling’er had become fully energized. Although she did not yet have much affection towards Jiang Yi’s three wives—and even secretly thought of them as competitors and rivals, as they were all Jiang Yi’s official wives; she naturally behaved with an abundance of respect and civility.

Yi Chan smiled as she nodded and replied, “Many thanks, little sister.”

“Little sister?”

Poison Spirit scratched his nose, embarrassed. Yi Chan’s airs were really high. Although she was younger than Jiang Yi, she actually called Di Ling’er ‘little sister’ so naturally.

The group headed to the castle. Mo Huaisang was actually not around, and with Di Ling’er and Poison Spirit around, everyone just entered the castle abruptly. The castle was very small and had only three rooms. However, if they all squeezed, it was still livable. Yi Chan and company requested to stay in the same room, with Poison Spirit bringing them to Jiang Yi’s old room. Hearing and seeing this, the trio’s eyes suddenly welled up as their hearts ached for him.

Di Ling’er waited for everyone to be settled down before she quickly left to find Di Qianjun.

Not anyone could use the Teleportation Formations as they wished. As the Internal Affairs Commander, Di Qianjun naturally was in-charge of this. However, hearing that the group wanted to head to the Purgatory Mystic Realm, Di Qianjun immediately rejected it. He even lectured Di Ling’er, asking her not to fool around. The Purgatory Mystic Realm was very dangerous; even Di Qianjun himself didn’t dare to stay there for more than a few hours.

Twenty full days had passed; even Heavenly King You would probably have died if he had been in there for so long, much less Jiang Yi? Di Qianjun also sent word to the junior commander guarding the Teleportation Formation, informing him that without his explicit orders, Di Ling’er and company were not allowed to be teleported.

After seeing Di Ling’er coming back, her eyes red from crying; Poison Spirit was utterly out of options. They could only stay here for now and wait for Qi Qingchen’s return. If Qi Qingchen refused to help, the group was never going to be able to enter the Purgatory Mystic Realm.

Yi Chan and company were extremely anxious; the longer Jiang Yi remained in the Purgatory Mystic Realm, the more danger he was in. After finding out more about the Purgatory Mystic Realm, they guessed that Jiang Yi must have encountered some big problems or had been trapped. That was why he had not returned.

However, with their current strength and lack of status—even if they kicked up a fuss, it would be useless. Poison Spirit would also not be able to do much. Everyone could only stay within the castle tortuously, waiting for Qi Qingchen to come back first.

The news that Jiang Yi’s three pretty wives had reached the Demon-Buster Valley soon traveled widely. The quieted Demon-Buster Valley once again grew boisterous. Jiang Yi’s name was well-known throughout the Demon-Buster Valley. Poison Spirit had thought that with Qi Qingchen, Di Qianjun, and company around; nothing would go wrong. However, he had forgotten something.

Jiang Yi’s enemies were too many. Although Jiang Yi had already died, many still hated him secretly. They didn’t have a chance to exact revenge on Jiang Yi; now that Jiang Yi’s three wives had come, this was the best time for them to strike.
