Buzz!

At that moment, the restrictions around the Saint Spirit Mountain started flashing nonstop. What’s more, they began flashing even more intensely than before. The Phantom King trembled slightly, turning to face the south. However, after pausing for a while, he continued to hit Jiang Yi’s head with his huge hand.

As the second-most powerful man in Earth Domain, he did not allow anyone to hurt his pride, much less a small character like Jiang Yi. He was that stubborn and critical, and he cared intensely about his reputation. Even if Jiang Yi was an Earth Sovereign, he would kill him all the same.

“No...”

Jiang Xiaonu shouted in desperation. Jiang Yi closed his eyes, as a cold, killing intent enveloped his entire body, causing him to be unable to move. Once again, he could smell death.

Tsk! Tsk!

As the skinny, wrinkled hand landed on Jiang Yi’s head once again; the Phantom King suddenly stopped and looked towards the south one more time. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

“Eh?”

The formidable martial artist from the Ink Feather Race who had been flying towards him suddenly halted. Both he and the Phantom King slowed down. There was no point in rushing forward any further. Even the crowd was shocked when the Phantom King suddenly stopped hitting Jiang Yi. All of them turned to see what he was looking at.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

What everyone was looking at was not the continuous flashing restrictions on the Saint Spirit Mountain, but at Heavenly Charm City behind it, on the left!

Swish!

There was the sound of something cutting through the sky. The black dot in the distance kept growing bigger and bigger. Mo Lingqiu, who just landed, looked into the distance in astonishment as well because... the Earth Emanations Sovereign was here. The Phantom King suddenly stopped attacking Jiang Yi, not because the restrictions on the Saint Spirit Mountain were flashing... but because the Earth Emanations Sovereign sent him a voice transmission.

“Phantom King, you really cannot kill this man, or you will regret it for the rest of your life!”

The voice transmission that the Earth Emanations Sovereign sent was still echoing in the Phantom King’s head. If it were others, perhaps the Phantom King would not have paused. However, the Earth Emanations Sovereign was particularly well-liked in the Earth Domain. He was known for being a good person. His words were worth serious consideration by the Phantom King.

“Sovereign!”

Mo Lingqiu shot up and shouted in a low voice from far away. His eyes were filled with surprise, too. He had not sent out any voice transmissions asking for help. Even if he had, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would not have made it in such a short time either. There was only one explanation for this: the Earth Emanations Sovereign had made his way here long ago and had been hiding in Heavenly Charm City the entire time.

Yet, why did the Earth Emanations Sovereign hide in Heavenly Charm City?

Could he have known that Jiang Yi would get into trouble? Since he knew that Jiang Yi would get into trouble, why didn’t he reject Mo Lingqiu’s request to bring Jiang Yi to observe the tournament?

Could it be... the Earth Emanations Sovereign allowed Jiang Yi to cause trouble here on purpose, so that he could step out and do him another favor?

This isn’t right!

Mo Lingqiu very quickly figured it all out. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had deeper intentions: he wanted the Phantom Race to fall out with Jiang Yi, so that they would not be able to buy Jiang Yi over in the future. Then, Jiang Yi would be stuck in Earth Emanations Domain for sure.

Incredible...

Mo Lingqiu secretly admired the Earth Emanations Sovereign. Jiang Yi and the Phantom Race had already fallen out so badly. Even if Yi Piaopiao and Jiang Yi reunited, they would not be able to rely on the Phantom Race any longer. Mo Lingqiu wiped the fresh blood from the corners of his mouth and flew over to join the Earth Emanations Sovereign. Mo Huaisang and company immediately flew towards the south once they saw the Earth Emanations Sovereign as well.

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign flew over, scanning the entire scene. He gently smiled and said, “Phantom King, you are already so old; can’t you change your temper? You’re fighting it out with someone from the younger generation. Aren’t you afraid that others would make a joke out of you? Alright, alright. Everyone, disperse. Phantom King, why don’t we go and take a seat in your Saint Spirit Mountain?”

The Phantom King did not move. Instead, he stood stubbornly in his place as he looked at the Earth Emanations Sovereign. Then, he said, “Earth Emanations Sovereign, if you don’t explain this clearly to me, I will really kill this brat today!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled bitterly and said, “Phantom King, it’s not convenient for me to explain in too much detail. However, if you kill this man, the human race... will lose its only hope. If we want to completely subdue the Netherworld Race, then we can only depend on this brat!”

“Wow!”

Everyone immediately burst into a flurry of discussions. The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s words dropped like a bomb, sending shock waves through the entire crowd.

The last hope for the human race? Subdue the Netherworld Race?

If another person had made these claims, many formidable martial artists would rush to give that person a slap across the face to wake him up. Yet, who was the Earth Emanations Sovereign? Would a formidable martial artist of his status utter nonsense?

The Netherworld Army had already taken over most of the Heaven Domain. The human race was only hanging on by one last domain. Who knew when that last realm would fall? Many formidable martial artists had given up hope already; they were only waiting to see how long more the human race would be able to hang in there. Now, the Earth Emanations Sovereign was saying that this young man held the human race’s hope of defeating the Netherworld Race?

This was the biggest joke in this world!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Countless divine senses scanned Jiang Yi at once, trying to see what exactly was so special about him.

However, they found that Jiang Yi had two eyes and one nose, just like the rest of them. There was nothing special about him. What’s more, he was very low-level. Since Jiang Xiaonu had ripped off his Silver Demon Mask, they were able to survey his true skills and cultivation level easily.

Of course!

It was worth validating Jiang Yi’s talents. His divine song earlier had caused everyone to explode. Even the four sleeping, divine beasts began to cry out. What was most mind-blowing was Jiang Yi’s young age. If he was properly nurtured, perhaps he would be able to become a King-Ranked martial artist in the future.

However... it was a bit overboard to say that he had hope of subduing the Netherworld Race, right?

The people on the spectator’s stands aside, even Qi Qingchen was doubtful of that claim. Little Eagle King immediately scoffed as well. Nevertheless, the crowd had a slightly different view of Jiang Yi now. The fact that the Earth Emanations Sovereign thought so highly of him showed that he probably had a bright future ahead of him.

The Phantom King retracted his wrinkly, skinny hand. If it was true that Jiang Yi was that talented, he would not destroy him. Killing Jiang Yi would mean smothering the last glimmer of hope for the human race.

However, it was obvious that he was not entirely convinced. Laughing mirthlessly, he gazed at the Earth Emanations Sovereign and asked, “Earth Emanations Sovereign, do you think one baseless sentence from you is enough to convince me?”

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign kept smiling and shrugged his shoulders. “Phantom King, I will spare you the exact details. How about this... if you feel like you would be embarrassed, why don’t I take the punishment for Jiang Yi? I’ll take three slaps from you.”

“...”

The entire place went dead silent. What was happening today? Were the two sovereigns going to start battling? If this carried on, would all the elders of the Earth Domain come out for battle?

The Phantom King turned away from the Earth Emanations Sovereign and looked at Jiang Yi instead. The Earth Emanations Sovereign was not kidding. That meant that there was really something special about Jiang Yi. The Phantom King scanned him from head to toe, but he could not see anything extraordinary about him.

He remained silent for a couple of seconds and then said, “Earth Emanations, I will show you respect today! I’ll let this brat go just this once. However, if he dares to make the Phantom Race his enemy, don’t blame me for letting you down.”

“Thank you, Phantom King!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign combed his mustache and grinned. Then, changing the topic, he said, “If you can give me one person, I can promise that this brat will never set foot in the Saint Spirit Domain again, much less will he make you his enemy.”

The Phantom King’s eyes glinted. In a heavy tone, he asked, “Who?”

Jiang Yi’s body trembled vigorously as Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes flashed. Qi Qingchen’s expression faltered as well. He knew what the Earth Emanations Sovereign was implying. If he could bring Yi Piaopiao to the Earth Emanations Domain, Jiang Yi would indeed not set foot in the Saint Spirit Domain again.

“Piaopiao!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s expression turned serious at once. “If the Phantom King is willing to let her go, I promise that I will treat Piaopiao like my own daughter. What’s more, I will give you anything else you request”

“Wow!”

Everyone nearly went into an uproar. Everybody’s minds were in a whirl. How did Yi Piaopiao suddenly get involved in this? Yi Tu and company were shocked. Why would letting Yi Piaopiao go guarantee that Jiang Yi would never set foot in the Saint Spirit Domain again? What was the relationship between Yi Piaopiao and Jiang Yi?

“What other requests can I make?” The Phantom King laughed mockingly and then asked, “Will you even give me your Primordial Spiritual Treasure?” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

“Deal!”

The response to the Phantom King’s question was both decisive and resolute. The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s hand flashed, and a little, golden clock appeared. He grinned and said, “Phantom King, let her go!”
