313 A Promise of Three Years (1/2)
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground suddenly trembled—even the entire Summer Rain City was shaking. Muffled giant footsteps echoed from the northeast direction, shocking everyone.
”En?”
Principal Yu was only three kilometers away from Jiang Yi, and a simple flick of his finger was enough to kill Jiang Yi. However, his body was actually halted in mid-air, and he didn't dare to move—while his forehead and back were sweating profusely. He had a feeling of danger that he had never felt before, and he knew that if he dared to make a move, he would be crushed horribly.
Demon Empress!
A name appeared in his mind. In this world, only the Five-Tailed Spirit Fox of Mt. Thirty Thousand could use an intention to pin him down, which he caused him to be fearful to make a reckless move!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tremors on the surface of the ground were growing stronger, and over a dozen towering black shadows appeared on the distant horizon, along with over a dozen savage and brutal aura presences—enveloping everyone present.
Eighteen Demon Kings!
The martial experts who were originally rushing towards Shui Youlan, the old abbot, and Zhuge Qingyun had all stopped as they looked over to the northeast direction. Their eyes locked onto a beautiful woman who was on the shoulder of a towering blood red violent bear.
The Demon Empress had appeared in the continent once again and with such impeccable timing. The purpose of her arrival was obvious; she… was also here to protect Jiang Yi! The reason why Principal Yu couldn't move had also proven this point.
Since the Demon Empress was here, and she obviously wanted to protect Jiang Yi, then there was no longer any meaning for the old ancestor and the other martial experts to fight. The Demon Empress' strength was way beyond all these people here, and she was a Heaven Monarch. She could simply take on all the martial experts there, and if she truly wanted to protect Jiang Yi, no one would be able to hurt him today!
”Ji-Ji!”
The Demon Empress was carrying a little fox which was crying out non-stop from a far distance. Beside her was a pretty little lass who looked extremely urgent. Jiang Xiaonu didn't have a hint of strength, and her vision was naturally weak, too. She couldn't see Jiang Yi from this distance.
”Demon Empress, Xiao Fei, Xiaonu!”
Jiang Yi gradually opened his eyes and could see over a dozen Demon Kings; he could also see Xiao Hong who had the Demon Empress and the others on its shoulders. He revealed a trace of agony in his mouth. This was an internal conflict between the humans, and it actually disturbed the Demon Empress?
The Demon Empress was actually violating the blood vow for him. If the Demon Empress wasn't around in the future, the demonic beasts would probably be cleansed by the human race with blood.
The human race martial experts might all have grave expressions, but their eyes were filled with resentment. Even the Great Zen Monastery's Abbot Yanshe and Shui Youlan were looking displeased. They could have risked their lives for Jiang Yi, but once the Demon Empress had appeared, they were in a difficult position between both sides.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
The demon race's Demon Kings were all extremely massive and fast. It took them just a few blinks of the eye to arrive north of the army. The Demon Empress waved her hand, which caused all the Demon Kings to halt.
”Hmph!”
The Azure Dragon Empire's old ancestor was severely injured by the Demon Empress previously, and so he was glaring at the Demon Empress with hostility. He furiously bellowed, ”Demon Empress, are you planning to publicly break the blood vow? Are you going to intervene with the internal conflicts of the humans?!”
”Amitabha!”
The old monk actually spoke out, too, ”Demon Benefactor. This is a struggle between the humans, please return quickly. The previous time was the wrongdoing of the humans. All of us didn't step in when you cleansed the continent with blood. Your appearance this time is definitely untimely.”
Shui Youlan didn't say anything, but her projected image was knitting its brows. It was obvious that she wasn't pleased with the Demon Empress. Even Zhuge Qingyun was remaining silent with eyes that were flickering indefinitely.
The Demon Empress had an indifferent expression, and no one could determine her mood. She scanned across everyone's face and leisurely spoke, ”This Empress has no intention to intervene with the conflict between humans and doesn't wish to violate the blood vow. This time, I would like everyone to give this Empress some face… as this Empress wishes to protect Jiang Yi for three years. Three years later, this Empress shall not bother anymore. How about it?”
