    There was no need for Qian Gui to remind him; Jiang Yi was already wary of the Martial Arts Hall. He knew that the Martial Arts Hall wasn’t as simple as they looked. He already knew that back when the six armies were readying themselves outside of the Stersky City, a single statement from the Martial Arts Chief Hall Master was enough to repel the armies.


    The Kingdom Wars afterward was obviously a scheme to shave down the strength of the six kingdoms, but a single statement from the Chief Hall Master gave the six kingdoms no choice but to participate in it, which had been continued until today.


    The Martial Arts Hall had been around since the continent existed, and they continued to be around until now. The Empires had been changing one after another, and there were plenty of absolute experts who were able to sweep across the entire continent. However, the Martial Arts Hall remained. This was enough to demonstrate how formidable the Martial Arts Hall was!


    <i>Shui Yon suddenly transmitted a message: “ording to my conjecture, this incident where you were trapped by the Devil Star Vine was probably conspired by the Martial Arts Hall. You better be careful. An incredible Saint Lady has appeared in the Martial Arts Hall during this period of time. She has an abnormally high level of wisdom, and you have to be careful not to fall into her schemes.”</i>


    Jiang Yi recalled the advice that Shui Yon mentioned before she left, which caused his face to slowly turned grave. If this Devil Star Vine incident was plotted by the Martial Arts Hall, then the incidents that happened to Zhuge Qingyun—and even Yun Fei—might all be plotted by the Martial Arts Hall.


    “Saint Lady Ji!”


    Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered as he looked at Qian Gui while speaking in a serious tone, “Uncle Qian, help me do a detailed check. Is that Saint Lady Ji... Ji Tingyu?”


    “Ji Tingyu? Alright, I will do my best!”


    Qian Gui nodded. Just as Jiang Yi was preparing to say something, a figure suddenly flew over and knelt down outside the building. “Reporting to Lord Jiang, n Head, and Lord Qian. We have found Liu Yu, but... he is dead!”


    “Dead?”


    Jiang Yi, Qian Gui, and Zhan Yiming looked at one another while speaking in a dull voice, “Where is the corpse discovered?”


    The Zhan n’s martial artist paused before replying, “The Marshal’s Mansion!”


    “Zhangsun Yan?”


    Zhan Yiming and Qian Gui both eximed while Jiang Yi just snorted. He flew out and demanded to the Zhan n’s martial artist. “Lead the way.”


    That Zhan nsman quickly flew forward. As Jiang Yi was following from behind, Zhan Yiming and Qian Gui followed closely as well. The Yazi Beast let out a roar in the sky while it followed slowly.


    The streets were filled with soldiers, and when they saw Jiang Yi and the others rushing over, they frantically stood to the side. They were afraid Jiang Yi might just instantly kill them.


    Soon enough, Jiang Yi arrived at a huge mansion which was surrounded by the influential figures of the Divine Martial Kingdom. Zhangsun Yan was also waiting on the outside with the Zhangsun nsmen. When Zhangsun Yan saw Jiang Yi walking over, he quickly revealed an awful smile and bowed with cupped hands. “Jiang... Lord Jiang, there is definitely someone that is trying to frame my n. This old man dares to put my head to vouch that I do not have any rtionship with Liu Yu.”


    “Shut up!”


    Jiang Yi walked over in an imposing manner. He didn’t even look Zhangsun Yan and simply asked the Zhan n’s martial artist, “Where is the corpse? Lead me there!”


    The Zhan nsman quickly walked in while Jiang Yi strutted from behind. Just as Qian Gui and Zhan Yiming wanted to enter, their ears echoed with a transmitted message: <i>“My two honorable brothers, can I trouble the two of you to help say something niceter one. This old man is willing to give out 80% of my n’s assets to the two of you.”</i>


    Qian Gui and Zhan Yiming looked at each other before walking in without giving a response. The Zhangsun n had always been the royal n’s rtives and had always behaved arrogantly and despotic. They worked together with the Jiang n to suppress the other ns, taking away the assets from their two ns either openly or in the dark.


    It was already considered good for these two n Heads not strike at the Zhangsun n when it was down, why would they even help Zhangsun Yan? Furthermore... if they were to help speak up for the Zhangsun n, what would Jiang Yi see them as?


    The corpse was in a secret room of the Zhangsun n. Jiang Yi had already given the orders to kill, and so the Divine Martial Kingdom’s army didn’t dare to be careless and even searched the mansions of the major ns.


    Due to the fact that the southern city gate’s Commander Zhang Jiang was a member of the Zhangsun n, one of the generals led a group of soldiers to search the Zhangsun n. They were even refused by the Zhangsun n, but that general finally barged in with his men and found Liu Yu in a secret room.


    Liu Yu hadmitted suicide, and it was by consuming poison. After Jiang Yi checked and ascertained that it was Liu Yu’s real body, he drew his longsword and cut down Liu Yu’s head before throwing it into his Fire Spirit Pearl. He walked out inrge strides and nced at a general from the Taishi n. “Arrest all the Zhangsun nsmen. If there is anyone missed out, I will kill ten of your Taishi nsmen.”


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The Zhangsun nsmen all turned pale, and so did the Taishi nsmen. That general of the Taishi n was at the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm. He was wearing this imposing battle armor, but his post was obviously not significant in the Divine Martial Kingdom. His face changed several times before he yelled out, “Royal Guards, listen to my orders and take down the Marshal’s entire n!”


    “You dare!” Zhangsun Yan was furious, and his eyes were ring with anger.


    Pa!


    Jiang Yi’s hand—which was still wielding the blood-drenched Fire Dragon Sword—swung across using the t side of the sword to p on Zhangsun Yan’s face, sending him flying.


    His eyes swept across the Zhangsun n as he spoke in an indifferent voice, “I just want to ask some questions. If you nsmen don’t think it is necessary, then I shall send all of you on your final journey.”


    “Take them all down!”


    The Taishi n’s general gritted his teeth while bursting out with a yell. One would rather have a friend dying than themselves. Let alone the Zhangsun n, everyone was going to suffer the same fate if they were to provoke Jiang Yi. He was the dictator of Monarch City right now.


    Once General Taishi gave his orders, hismanders all acted and led their men to arrest all the Zhangsun nsmen. All of them were tied up and ced at the empty front yard of the Zhangsun n. These royal guards were all polite and didn’t dare to mistreat the Zhangsun nsmen.


    The Zhangsun n was the no.1 n of the Divine Martial Kingdom. They had plenty of descendants which quickly filled up the front yard of the Zhangsun n which was actually huge. Many of the women were screaming while the children were wailing. The entire ce was just as noisy as the food market.


    Shh-shh-shh!


    A group of soldiers came over from the left while seizing two young masters. One of them was constantly yelling, “Let me go!” Jiang Yi took a swift nce and quickly revealed a smile. His eyes met with the other young master as he spoke, “Zhangsun Wuji. It has been a long time since west met.”


    Among the two young masters caught, one of them was apparently Zhangsun n’s Young n Head, Zhangsun Wuji. When Zhangsun Wuji saw Jiang Yi, his face instantly turned pale white while his eyes were filled with resentment. He merely gritted his teeth and remained silent.


    Jiang Yi withdrew his sights and looked at the morous scene at the front, which made him frustrated. He shouted out coldly, “General Taishi. If anyone dares to make another noise, kill them without hesitation!”


    “...”


    There was absolute silence all of a sudden. It wasn’t because Jiang Yi’s words frightened them, but he unintentionally leaked out his murderous aura, which caused everyone to tremble in fear. Even the children were looking at Jiang Yi with fearful eyes as though they were looking at a demon.


    Jiang Yi nodded with satisfaction while he looked at Zhangsun Yan and speaking in a dull tone, “Marshal, I don’t want to look in the matters that happened previously. Today, as long as you give me an answer that satisfies me, I will not make it difficult for your n. I would like you to exin: why did your n’s son-inw allow Liu Yu into the city? Why did hemit suicide afterward? Why is Liu Yu in your secret room? From what I know... regr nsmen would never know of such a secret room, right?”


    “I, I...”


    Zhangsun Yan nearly wanted to cry, but he truly didn’t know anything. How was he going to exin? He shook his head and swept his eyes across while shouting, “Who was the one that brought Liu Yu into the secret room? Show yourself this instant!”


    The entire ce was in dead silence. Zhangsun Yan was so angry that his body was shivering. He suddenly drew his sword and handed the sword hilt over to Jiang Yi while saying, “Jiang Yi, if you want to kill, then just kill me. This old man truly doesn’t know anything. Would you please be magnanimous and spare my nsmen?”


    “Hmph!”


    Jiang Yi sneered and scanned the faces of all the Zhangsun nsmen. He spoke in a ferocious tone, “Who did it? Why don’t you dare to stand out here? I just want to know who the mastermind that murdered Principal Zhuge is. If no one is going to tell me, then I apologize. Your entire Zhangsun n shall bepletely ughtered without exception...”
