Shh-shh-shh!

Just at this moment, a rush of hurried footsteps came from outside, which made Qing Niao pause her movements. Jiang Yi suddenly became so incensed.

Who came to disturb his plan at such a crucial moment? He was so unlucky!

Shh-shh-shh!

It was not one person, but a team of soldiers in armor. A female general at the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm went ahead. She glanced at Qing Niao and the sawdust on the ground the moment she came in. She frowned and asked, “What’s happening?”

“He...”

Qing Niao was just going to explain, but that peak-stage Soul Travel Realm old lady waved her hand impatiently and shouted, “Take this spy. The Thearch wants to see him in the Black Phoenix City!”

“Ah?”

Jiang Yi’s soul shook, and he was so bitter. He was so close to getting out just now, but something happened. Now, he was going to be taken to the Heaven Monarch Thearch of the Phoenix Cry Continent? All his effort over the past few days went to waste, and if he could keep his life in the Black Phoenix City was still a big question mark.

Several guards quickly came forward and took the other end of the Soul-Locking Chains from the wall. Then, two people held up Jiang Yi and walked to the outside.

Bang!

Some flying carriages were already parked outside. The two guards rudely tossed Jiang Yi into the flying carriage. One guard stayed inside with him, and the other controlled the flying carriage. Soon, all the flying carriages rose up to the sky and flew to the northwest direction.

“I was going to ask the Thearch to refine him to a soul slave. His strength is terrifying, and I’m afraid that most people can’t refine him.”

Words of Princess Qing Yu echoed in Jiang Yi’s mind again, giving Jiang Yi the creeps.

The sea demons were on a riot. The Phoenix Cry Continent was in the middle of a great war and was in need of martial experts to fight for it. The Thearch went out now and deliberately asked to bring Jiang Yi to her. Would she want to refine him to a soul slave and let him help kill the sea demons? He still had no idea what a soul slave was, but it should be similar to giving up one’s Soul Seal. In both cases, he would become a puppet.

Becoming a puppet?

It would be worse than death. Jiang Yi grumbled silently in his mind and couldn’t stop cursing. He was so close to escaping just now—so close! Ah, his bad luck.

The Thearch of the Phoenix Cry Continent was a Heaven Monarch... and a lesbian that had no interest in men!

Jiang Yi was like a cat on a hot tin roof just by the thoughts of it. He was brainstorming of some solutions. The problem was that he was bound by the Soul-Locking Chains. The one watching him looked very experienced and could no way be fooled by him. He had no choice but to sit silently and wait.

The flying carriages pierced the sky like a stream of light, fluttering the air. The Spirit Beast mechanically flapped its winds. Its eyes were empty and numb. The violent wind caused Jiang Yi to narrow his eyes. He squinted at the Spirit Beast in front as if he had seen his own future.

...

The Black Phoenix City was one half a day’s journey away from the Black Carp City and was a grandeur ancient city. It had an even longer history than the Black Carp City. It was the second largest city in the Black Carp County, and the last line of defense on the west of the Black Carp County. If the Black Phoenix City was also taken over, the Black Carp City would be the next; and the entire Black Carp County would fall into the enemy’s hand.

The shield around the Black Phoenix City was not turned on, but many soldiers were guarding the city wall and were ready to fight anytime. A cold and lifeless atmosphere surrounded the Black Phoenix City.

The Merman Race army had not marched to the Black Phoenix City. There were over one hundred small cities on the west of the Black Phoenix City, and more than half of them were lost. The Merman Race troops were originally heading straight towards the Black Phoenix City, but they decided to bypass it after the Thearch came. The Lion Chi Demon Thearch, who had always fought along with troops, also stopped.

Swish!

Several flying carriages broke the sky and flew over. A Vajra Realm martial expert on the city wall immediately launched to the air. She only let them in after she made sure they were on the same side.

So many Vajra Realm martial experts?

Jiang Yi glanced over, and his eyes darkened. There were at least tens of thousands of Soul Travel Realm Experts, millions of soldiers, and dozens of Vajra Realm martial experts.

The flying carriages stopped in a big square at the city center. Jiang Yi followed two guards towards a lofty castle on the north of the city.

“Who goes there?”

The castles were surrounded by guards, who shouted from a distance. The peak-stage Soul Travel Realm martial expert showed them the command token on her hand and shouted, “I work under Region Mistress Qing Yu. I am instructed to bring a person to see the Thearch.”

The command token was real. The guard waved her hand and let them pass. Thearch and Region Mistress Qing Yu were both inside the castle. If it was an ordinary spy, he would walk to his death.

Along the way, there were many checkpoints. At last, they arrived at a central hall. The peak-stage Soul Travel Realm martial expert genuflected outside the door and shouted, “Region Mistress, the spy is here.”

“Come in!”

The gentle voice of Region Mistress Qing Yu came from the inside. Jiang Yi took a deep breath and pulled himself together. Whether he would die or live depended on this moment.

The two guards held Jiang Yi and walked inside. It was a large central hall, but there was nothing and no one inside it. The peak-stage Soul Travel Realm martial artist didn’t stop over and went straight into a small hall on the side, leading the two guards.

Once Jiang Yi entered the small hall, Jiang Yi looked around and immediately saw Region Mistress Qing Yu. He swiftly moved his eyes to a person beside her. To Jiang Yi’s surprise, it was the woman that slept with her on the large bed a few days ago.

“Phoenix Cry Thearch!”

His eyes continued to move to the side, and he saw a young woman in black. Just by one look, Jiang Yi was certain that she was the ruler of the Phoenix Cry Continent!

It was because... Region Mistress Qing Yu and the other woman were standing, whereas she was sitting; and he was even unable to see her face clearly.

This was a very young lady. Her black clothes were exquisitely made and portrayed her perfect body vividly. She was just sitting over there quietly, but she gave others a feeling that she was the center of this universe... as though she had absorbed all the light around her. Though she didn’t release any aura, Jiang Yi and the people beside him found it a little difficult to breathe.

The most peculiar thing was her face. She wasn’t wearing any mask, but Jiang Yi just couldn’t see her face clearly. Her deep, dark eyes were the only visible feature.

What kind of magical skill is this? It’s so abnormal! Is this the power of a Heaven Monarch?

Jiang Yi was surprised secretly. Though he had met the Demon Empress many times, been hunted by the Lion Chi Demon Thearch, and been suppressed by Ji Tingyu who raised up to the Heaven Monarch by using the Heaven Fate Great Array; it was his first time to stay so close to a human Heaven Monarch absolute master.

Bang!

The two guards that held Jiang Yi let him fall on the ground. They genuflected and greeted before going out. As Jiang Yi’s whole body was tied up, he had to lie on the ground on his side. He kept silent and stared at the Phoenix Cry Heaven Monarch in her eyes.

“He is indeed somewhat strange!”

The Phoenix Cry Thearch studied Jiang Yi for a while before she suddenly spoke softly. She had a voice with a lingering charm. It was neither too fast nor too slow and was very pleasant to the ears. Even Jiang Yi had to admit that this Heaven Monarch had an extraordinary presence.

Region Mistress Qing Yu gazed at the Phoenix Cry Heaven Monarch lovingly. She smiled gracefully and said, “Thearch, do you want to refine him to a soul slave? This spy’s strength is okay, and he can kill many Merman race soldiers for us.”

The Phoenix Cry Heaven Monarch didn’t speak again. Region Mistress Qing Yu and the other woman didn’t dare to break the silence. Jiang Yi was extremely nervous and worried, but he didn’t have any good solution right now and had to wait for this Heaven Monarch to make the final decision.

Time ticked by slowly, and Jiang Yi’s heart gradually sank to the bottom... as he noticed that the way that the Phoenix Cry Heaven Monarch looked at him became a bit different. It was like when a child saw a toy.

“Alright!”

Suddenly, Phoenix Cry Heaven Monarch stood up. She lifted her hand and said, “Qing Yu, pass my order. Have the whole city on guard. Later, you two be my Guardians. I’ll use some soul strength to refine this boy!”

I am over!

Jiang Yi’s heart thumped as if he had crashed into an ice cellar. His heart sank to the bottom.
