Chapter 371: Blood-Refine Clone Art

“Fell into my trap!”

The Witch Empress’s words echoed loudly like a clap of thunder, which shook up Jiang Yi’s body. He knew something was wrong, and when he saw the radiant trap on the outside of the palace hall and heard the Witch Empress’s words, he finally realized it.

He did even though he couldn’t understand. The Witch Empress was still here, and she had consumed He Lao’s poison. Why would she dare to be so reckless? Was she prepared to die together? Was she not afraid that once she was dead, her young son—Yun Qi—would be in bad fortune?

Furthermore, why was there such a huge formation in the Sage King Residence? Was this formation truly able to trap him? Could it obstruct him from instant-shifting? Could Yun Xian and Yun Fei be in cahoots with the Witch Empress? Were the King of Heaven Mystics Kingdom and Grandma Silver Flower involved in this?

There were too many doubts that flashed across in Jiang Yi’s mind, but he reacted quickly and came back to his senses. He instantly released his Massacre Intent and rushed at the Witch Empress.

“Witch God’s ancient formation?”

There was a cry of surprise while Yun Fei’s eyes were filled with suspicion. When Jiang Yi released his Massacre Intent, her beautiful eyes had a flash as she exclaimed, “Massacre Intent? Regent? Jiang Yi?”

“Jiang Yi?”

The dashing youth who was wearing an official’s robe beside Yun Fei gasped as well. His eyes lit up, but when he saw the Witch Empress, his eyes dimmed again. It was obvious that he assumed Jiang Yi wasn’t a match for the Witch Empress.

Swish!

Jiang Yi’s body burst over, and his mind was tensed up to the extreme, thinking that the Witch Empress would have a special trump. When his hand clenched on the Witch Empress’ neck and lift her up, the Witch Empress didn’t have any signs of resistance—not any movements that were meant for attacking and releasing sorcery arts.

Giggle!

The Witch Empress was clenched so tightly that she couldn’t even breathe, but she still managed to laugh like a silver bell. She mocked and looked at Jiang Yi. “Jiang Yi, you have trespassed the Mystic Heaven City and held this empress as the hostage. You colluded with Yun Fei and Yun Xian to murder Yun Lu. You have committed grave crimes which shall be punished. Not even the Demon Empress and Water Moon Observatory Hostess would have the face to cover for you, right? Hahaha so… you shall die here in Mystic Heaven City.”

Bang!

Jiang Yi abruptly punched the Witch Empress, which caused her body to curl up from the pain. Fresh blood oozed out from the corner of her mouth while her laughter grew louder. Her body suddenly burned up in blazing flames, which frightened Jiang Yi as he quickly threw her away.

Bang!

The Witch Empress’ body exploded into pieces, splattering minced flesh in all directions.

Swish!

Jiang Yi quickly backed off, to Yun Fei’s side while he had doubtful eyes. The Witch Empress’ explosion wasn’t powerful enough to hurt him. Was she truly wishing for death?

“Yun Fei.”

He swept a look at Yun Fei and looked into her eyes to make sure she was that fiery princess from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Once he confirmed it, he relaxed and spoke in a soft voice, “I am Jiang Yi. Wushuang asked me to come to rescue the two of you.”

“Jiang Yi, you are too impulsive. This time, I’m afraid we will not be able to escape anymore.”

Jiang Yi might have another individual’s face, but his Massacre Intent was unique. Thus, Yun Fei didn’t have any doubts about Jiang Yi’s identity. She looked at the trap outside with a bitter expression as she sighed. “This is an ancient formation that the Witch God left for the Yun Clan back then. It was originally used to protect the royal palace. I didn’t expect for the Witch Empress to secretly transfer it over here. This formation isn’t easy for a Vajra Realm martial expert to break out of. Sigh… Jiang Yi, you shouldn’t have come here. The Witch Empress has demonic wisdom, and it is too simple for her to plot against you…”

“Is it so?”

Jiang Yi let out a smile of disdain as he swept a look at all the palace maids and eunuchs. He noticed that none of them had competent strength. He then looked over at the self-destructed Witch Empress and sneered. “No matter how clever she is. Isn’t she dead now?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Yun Fei laughed bitterly and shook her head. She pointed outside of the palace hall and said, “How could the Witch Empress die so easily? Jiang Yi, look outside!”

“En?”

Jiang Yi looked through the gates of the palace hall, and then his eyes suddenly turned wide as though he saw a ghost.

Outside of the palace hall, a luxurious carriage came over; and an absolute beauty dressed in a phoenix robe gradually walked out. She actually looked exactly like the Witch Empress.

“How, how is this possible? I just saw her explode herself, she…” Jiang Yi was so shocked that he stuttered. The Witch Empress should have been dead; how could there be another Witch Empress?

“Nothing is impossible. Jiang Yi, do you know what the Heaven Mystics Kingdom is most powerful in? Sorcery arts!”

Yun Fei sighed and explained, “I remember there is a type of evil sorcery art called the Blood-Refine Clone Art. This sorcery art is very hard to cultivate and is abnormally vicious, requiring a large number of maidens as a sacrifice. At least one thousand maidens are required to refine a clone. This clone could gradually grow exactly the same as its master and could even cultivate. The Witch Empress could split out a wisp of her soul spirit to control this clone, and outsiders will never be able to see if it is a clone or a true body…”

“So mystical! So this is how it is…”

Jiang Yi suddenly realized it. He felt that it was weird when he first saw the Witch Empress, seeing how her strength was only at the Purple Mansion Realm. He had a feeling that it was a clone which she had refined.

Back when she was trapped and forced to consume the poison, she was still very calm. Jiang Yi originally thought it was just her shrewdness. Now, he realized that the Witch Empress wasn’t afraid at all. She would—at worst—lose a clone.

How was she able to sleep so peacefully in the night? No matter how shrewd she was—with her life hanging on a line and with an unfamiliar man in the room, how could she possibly sleep so peacefully? The Witch Empress must have retrieved the wisp of soul spirit from her clone and concentrated on setting the trap here, right?

Everything was a trap!

Jiang Yi suddenly realized something. It was possible that after Mistress Liu entered the palace, everything was already part of her schemes. Otherwise, why would it be so coincidental that the king suddenly arrived when they entered the royal palace? When the consecrator was about to check on him, why did the king suddenly leave for Lifei Palace? Then, it was so fortunate for him to seize her as soon as she came in?

That night when the clone was bathing and changing in front of him—even the time when she was enticing him to commit a crime in the palace. Right now—when Jiang Yi recalled about all those things, he felt they were all obvious schemes; and there was this chill that kept coming out of his back.

Yun Fei mentioned that this clone used an extremely vicious method to cultivate; hence, the body must have some sort of poison. If he wasn’t able to hold himself back and had sexual interactions with her clone, he would probably be dead.

“Fu Lao, Chen Lao, kill everyone and then destroy this palace hall!”

Yun Fei suddenly burst out with a yell as two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts came out from the rooms of this palace hall. They rushed at all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace hall and all the other palace maids which the Witch Empress brought in earlier.

“Uh…”

When Jiang Yi saw how Yun Fei instructed the two experts to kill even her own people, he couldn’t help but look at her with a confused look. Yun Fei laughed grimly and said, “Jiang Yi, in this palace hall, apart from the two secret guards—all of them are the Witch Empress’ subordinates.”

“Ahh!”

Over a dozen of eunuchs and palace maids were all killed as they let out miserable screams. The two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts then started to release their essence force attacks—wrecking at all directions, turning the entire palace hall into ruins, and razing it to the ground.

Jiang Yi saw the two of them attacking the white trap on the outside, which was responded with the white trap radiating. When he saw that the white trap didn’t even have a trace of shivering, he secretly lamented at the level of the Witch God’s restriction.

After Jiang Yi, Yun Fei, and the others turned the palace hall into ruins, they jumped up and stood on top of a protruding slab of stone. He looked around and asked with doubt, “Yun Fei, what is the meaning of ruining the palace hall?”

“We will die even faster if we didn’t destroy it!”

Yun Fei laughed bitterly and said, “Since the Witch Empress was able to transfer the Witch God’s ancient formation over here, she must have refined this formation. In other words… she can attack us, but we cannot attack them. We have no choice but to hold on until King Father and Grandma Silver Flower comes over. We will then see if we have the chance to keep our life.”

Giggle!

The white trap had a flash of light while the Witch Empress’ clear voice actually transmitted in. “Destroying the palace hall? Are you trying to struggle whilst at death’s door? Trying to drag the time? In your dreams! Everyone, release your sorcery arts attack!”
