Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 450 - Unorthodox Prodigy

Panda Novel

“Half of a year?”

Elder Zeng and Elder Lu looked at each other and saw the bewilderment from each other’s eyes. Elder Zeng asked, “Saint Lady Ji, what’s the meaning behind this ‘half of a year’?”

The seriousness of Ji Tingyu’s precious arrangements completely turned the two around. Especially when Elder Zeng attacked Zhuge Qingyun. He thought there would bound to be an ugly battle. Instead, it only took one strike to kill Zhuge Qingyun, leaving no evidence behind.

Most importantly, Ji Tingyu’s plans were interlocking. The death of Zhuge Qingyun was only one part of it. The purpose was to lure Jiang Yi to the Monarch City.

In the beginning, the two thought her plan was unrealistic. Ji Tingyu reckoned that Xia Tingwei wouldn’t send people to capture Liu Yu, which successfully enticed Jiang Yi to the Monarch City. Previously, they figured Jiang Yi was definitely going to die. However, he won in the end. Still, Jiang Yi severely debilitated the powerful Divine Martial Kingdom, which was also a happy ending for the Martial Arts Hall.

When the matter of the Divine Martial Kingdom was over, the two thought it was the end of the plan. They never expected that Ji Tingyu had plots after that. It appeared that she could foresee everything. As expected by Ji Tingyu, Qian Xue and the group returned to the Divine Martial Kingdom. She had already asked people to lay in ambush in the Divine Martial Kingdom, waiting to kill Qian Xue and his group.

Every detail and every plan were so perfect!

Although Yun Fei escaped by accident and Xia Tingwei didn’t manage to kill Jiang Yi, two Elders were genuinely impressed by Ji Tingyu who was only a teenager and unbelievably beautiful. She was so intelligent. If Jiang Yi was a martial genius that appeared every 10,000 years, she was an unorthodox prodigy who appeared every 10,000 years.

“Obviously, there is evidence to support this.”

Ji Tingyu smiled daintily as sweet as a girl next door. Getting up, she took a map from the Ancient Divine Essence Ring and placed it on the table. Two Elders swiftly came closer. Pointing her slender finger at one place, she said leisurely, “Who’s Jiang Yi’s greatest ally? It’s her. If we target the root cause and eliminate this one, will the Azure Dragon Empire instantly strike and kill Jiang Yi?”

“The Demon Empress?”

Seeing Ji Tingyu’s finger on the Mt. Thirty Thousand, two Elders were even more confused. Elder Zeng asked, “Saint Lady, Jiang Yi’s support was more than the Demon Empress. There is also Shui Youlan, the old devil in the Great Zen Monastery, and… Grandma Silver Flower.”

“There is no need to worry about them.”

Shaking her head, Ji Tingyu said, “Shui Youlan and the old monk should have some knowledge of our Martial Arts Hall. They will help Jiang Yi, but they won’t risk their lives helping him. After all, they are not just representing themselves, but the Water Moon Observatory and Great Zen Monastery behind them. They have to consider what’s best for their communities. Grandma Silver Flower is too weak to be taken seriously. As long as we get rid of the Demon Empress, Jiang Yi will be a toothless tiger; and we can do whatever we wish to him…”

“Saint Lady has a good point.”

Reticent Elder Lu opened his mouth and nodded in approval. Swiftly, he raised his concerns. “The problem is… she was incredibly powerful. Even the Chief Hall Master can’t kill her.”

“Haha, we don’t have to kill her. We just need her to leave the continent.”

Ji Tingyu’s fingers swept to the east and pointed on the sea in the east. “I looked up a lot of documents these days. After half of a year, there’ll be a Beast Tide in the East Sea. Have you heard of the Beast Tide? If we step in and escalate the scale of the Beast Tide, do you think the Demon Empress will be tempted to leave?”

“Beast Tide?”

Two Elders were befuddled. They were aware of the Beast Tide. In history, there were a lot of Beast Tides in the East Sea. During which, sea demons under the sea would be on the rampage and fight with one another.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a Beast Tide in the East Sea which even embroiled the Stellarsky Continent. Countless sea demons ran riot and slaughtered one another—as if they went mad. During those few days, the sea water of the East Sea became red because of blood, with millions of corpses of sea demons floating around. The scene was startling.

That Beast Tide even implicated the Sea Demon Kings. In the shallow marine area of the Northern Liang Kingdom, martial experts on the continent bore witness to the dogfight between hundreds of demon kings. Back then, all the martial experts on the continent converged as they feared those demon kings would drench the continent in a bloodbath. Many clans should keep records of this incident.

There would be a Beast Tide in half of a year in the East Sea? How did Ji Tingyu predict it? In addition… what was the link between the Beast Tide and the Demon Empress? Why would the Demon Empress definitely leave after the Beast Tide?

After listening to the two Elders’ questions, Ji Tingyu smiled faintly. Holding up the teacup and taking a sip, she said softly, “I have consulted many materials. The Demon Empress is not an ordinary spirit fox but is from the lineage of the heaven fox. Tracing the history of the Stellarsky Continent to thousands of years ago, I can’t find anything about the heaven fox. Thus, I conclude that the Demon Empress is from the outside. Coincidentally, there is a famous continent in the east which is called the Heaven Fox Continent.”

“Heaven Fox Continent?”

Elder Zeng shrank his eyes and nodded. “There is indeed a Heaven Fox Continent, but why does it matter if the Demon Empress is from the Heaven Fox Continent?”

The smile on Ji Tingyu’s lips became more enchanting. Her lovely eyes glistened with wisdom; she answered firmly, “The ruler of the Heaven Fox Continent is the Heaven Fox Clan. Every creature there is the slave of the Heaven Fox Clan, including humans! Therefore… the human martial experts outside are unhappy about the Heaven Fox Clan.

“Members of the Heaven Fox Clan rarely leave their continent as well. Otherwise, they will be hunt down by the human peak-stage martial experts or apprehended as spirit beasts. When the Demon Empress became famous on the continent, she was still at the demon king grade and didn’t manifest herself. Let me ask you—will a heaven fox which has yet to manifest leave the Heaven Fox Continent… if there is no special reason?”

“Em, Saint Lady is right.”

Nodding, Elder Zeng said, “So Saint Lady is saying that the Demon Empress was hunted by enemies on the Heaven Fox Continent and was forced to leave her homeland for the Stellarsky Continent. She cultivates here and is waiting for the day when she becomes invincible. Then she will go back and revenge herself fair and square.”

Elder Lu was still a bit confused. He asked, “Even if all these presumptions are correct, how can Saint Lady guarantee that the Demon Empress will definitely leave for the Heaven Fox Continent after the Beast Tide?”

“That’s why we are blowing up the Beast Tide.”

Laughing like a fox, Ji Tingyu pointed on the East Sea. “The East Sea is very dangerous. Even with the strength of the Demon Empress, she may not be able to pass the sea safely. If this Beast Tide is the largest in history, more sea demons will be killed or injured. If you were the Demon Empress, will you waste this opportunity? The Demon Empress doesn’t have many years left. If she waits for the next Beast Tide, maybe she’ll have to die on the Stellarsky Continent.”

“Brilliant!”

Elder Zeng and Elder Lu looked at each other. Both were secretly amazed. All of Ji Tingyu’s plans made sense. Though it sounded impractical, many things that the two found absurd were proven to be correct. If the Demon Empress indeed left this time, the two might be awestruck with admiration.

In fact!

If the Demon Empress was here and listened to Ji Tingyu’s words, she would probably be blown away with respect as well.

Two Elders remained silent for a long time and studied Ji Tingyu’s plans carefully. Finally, the two gritted their teeth and nodded. Elder Zeng looked at Ji Tingyu and said, “Saint Lady, give us your command. As long as the Demon Empress can leave, any sacrifice will be worthwhile. Jiang Yi must die.”

“It’s not that serious.”

Putting away the map, Ji Tingyu sat back and smiled gracefully. “Two Elders relax and wait quietly for half of a year. When the Beast Tide arrives, Tingyu just needs to deploy a simple trick; and the scale of this Beast Tide will be amplified by ten times—even a hundred times! The entire East Sea will turn blood red. What a spectacular sight that will be…”

“Uh…”

Looking at Ji Tingyu’s beautiful face gave two elders the creeps. She was indeed a poisonous rose. Smelling its scent even led to inevitable death.
