Chapter 185: Killing Intent


    The royal pce was massive. Jiang Yi didnt know specifically how big it was, but the za at the front of the royal pce was already the same size as Jiangs Residence in Skyplume City. The za was now filled with peopleno less than 100,000.


    This Kingdom War is obviously a ce to find death. Why are there so many people participating? And they are even so excited? Jiang Yi looked around and saw a multitude of figures; he sighed along with Zhan Wushuang who stood beside him.


    Zhan Wushuangughed lightly and exined: All these poor martial artists want an opportunity to be exceptional. They would either join the military or an aristocratic n. In recent years, the six vassal states had been restraining themselves from a battle, leaving lesser opportunities to excel in the military. Hence, they are left with the option to join the aristocratic great ns. The Kingdom War is a great way and opportunity to stand out in these great ns! If you are able to survive the Kingdom War and have some performance, not only will the kingdom offer you the officials role, but many of the great ns will alsopete to recruit you. Thus, everyone is using their lives to take a risk for glory and great wealth!


    Huh


    Jiang Yi let out a slight sigh when he once again felt how brutal this world was!


    This minor Kingdom War was an individuals fight. In other words, once one was inside, it didnt matter which martial artist belonged to which kingdom. They just had to kill one another and obtain the enemies medal; that would mean obtaining military merits, and that would be umting points! This was precisely why this Kingdom War would be even more desperate. With more than ten thousand participants, the final survivors might only be less than a tenth.


    Jiang Yi thought of a problem and asked in a soft voice, In this Kingdom War, would the Seven Great ns be killing one another?


    Hehe!


    There was a sh of cold intent in Qian Wanguans eyes as he replied while whispering, Looking at the situationif there is an opportunity for a certain kill, they will not think twice! Of course, the Zhan and the Qian n agreed to not kill each other. I have made this agreement with Brother Wushuang! But Boss. When you go in, do not trust anyone apart from Brother Wushuang. Do not even trust the members of my n and avoid them as soon as you meet them! I am afraid they will be bought over if I am not in there


    En!


    Jiang Yi nodded and turned around to speak firmly to Zhan Wushuang, Wushuang, you will go along with your nsmen; I will go by myself! This is much safer for either of us.


    Zhan Wushuang nodded. He already knew that Jiang Yi would not go along with them. Jiang Yi had the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, and they couldnt catch up with itwhich might be a burden to Jiang Yi instead.


    Shh-shh-shh!


    Footsteps came from within the royal pce. The imposing Gate of Deration opened while two squads of Royal Military swiftly emerged and fanned out. The surrounding Royal Military began to circte their essence force and had the God-Exterminating Crossbows in their hands while they scanned the ce with their ferocious eyes. If anyone behaved recklessly, they might be immediately turned into a hos nest.


    Jiang Yi immediate hanged his head down after a quick nce while having this grave expression. He knew that the notable figures of the Divine Martial Kingdom would being out right away. The Divine Martial Kingdoms Lord should be arriving soon, and most importantlyJiang Bieli might appear!


    Soon enough, two groups of people flowed out like fish, with all the generals on the left who wore the generals battle armor. On the right were all the royal officials who wore ck officials robe. It was an awe-inspiring sight as the two of them walked on two clearly separate sides to the left and to the right.


    The one who led the left group was this small-statured general while the one that led the left group was this middle-aged man with grizzled hair.


    Qian Wanguan used a soft voice to exin to Jiang Yi: That small-statured general is Long Xiaotian and Long Xiangs old man, the militarys no.1 man, Long Qinian. Dont just assume from his sizehe is a solid Vajra Realm martial expert. A third of the Divine Martial Kingdoms military is under his grasp, and all the soldiers in the Divine Martial Kingdom have to listen to his orders.


    The prematurely-aged elder with the white hair is Zhangsun Wujis old man, Grand Marshal Zhangsun Yan. He is the no.1 person under the Kingdoms Lord. The one beside Long Qinian is Taishi Rong, Taishi ns current n Head


    Jiang Yi took a few nces and didnt really pay too much attention. He let out a breath of relief in his heart when he saw the n Head of Zhangsun n, but Jiang Bieli was still nowhere to be seen. It seemed like he wasnt in the royal capital.


    He was quickly puzzled. The Kingdom War was a significant event, and almost all the notable figures of the kingdom were here. There wasnt any war in the west eitherwhy didnt Jiang Bieli appear?


    His Highness the Crown Prince is here to announce the royal decree on behalf of the King!


    A sharp voice echoed. Dressed in an officials robe, Xia Wuhuiwho wore a purple-gold crownwalked out in a majestic and elevated manner, escorted by the pce eunuchs and the Royal Military.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Countless people promptly knelt on both knees and shouted out, Greetings to the Crown Prince!


    Jiang Yi and the rest also bowed to salute. They might be the cadets of the Mt. Spirit Beast College, but they were still the citizens of the Divine Martial Kingdom. It was fine if they didnt bow in private, but if they didnt bow in such an asion, it would be a provocation to the royal n.


    The King didnt appear, too?


    Jiang Yi, Zhan Wushuang, and Qian Wanguan looked at one another with suspicion. Normally, the King would always be present in such asions to boost the morale of the troops and to draw everyones heart. This time, the Divine Martial Kingdom was offering such generous rewards; and the King was actually absent from such a crucial moment?


    What are the King and Jiang Bieli doing?


    It wasnt only Jiang Yis group. Everyone present was suspicious, but no one dared to ask. Xia Wuhui read the royal decree on behalf of the Kingwhich was long-winded. It was a speech that stated nonsense: for the participants to strive and kill the enemies, win honor for the kingdom to be united and not have any internal strife.


    Jiang Yi listened for a while and felt that it was insipid. His mouth was revealing this mocking smile as he thought if anyone from the royal n was to participate, even they would be the victims of assassinations from the citizens of the Divine Martial Kingdom, right?


    Just as he was thinking about it!


    As the Crown Prince read the royal decree, a group of individuals walked out from the royal pce; and they were surprisingly led by Xia Tian. He brought along at least 30 Soul Travel Realm martial artists who looked unfamiliar to Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang. It was obvious the royal n had secretly recruited and nurtured martial experts.


    Xia Tian brought this group of people and quietly entered the participating army. It was apparent that they were going to participate in this Kingdom War, too. What kind of person was Xia Tian? A hedonistic prince was going to participate in the Kingdom War? Was he truly participating to gain glory for the Divine Martial Kingdom? Or was it too boring in the royal capital, and he wanted to go find some stimnt?


    It was evident that it wasnt so!


    Jiang Yis brows lifted slightly while the edges of his mouth were mocking. Xia Tian was undoubtedly targeting him. Jiang Yi looked to the other side and saw Zhangsun Wuji. There were almost a hundred men by his side30 or 40 of them were Soul Travel Realm experts. In this Kingdom War, the Zhangsun n probably brought in all the elites of their youth generation? They really put in all their effort to fight for Divine Martial Kingdoms glory, huh? Why didnt the rest of the ns put in as much effort?


    Participants, set off! Royal Military, activate the teleportation array and escort our brave warriors to the imperial capital! I offer my best wishes for everyone to be sessful. This Crown Prince shall wait for your triumphant return in the royal capital!


    As Xia Wuhui gave the orders, three of the rarely-utilized teleportation arrays lit up in the za. Groups of people were constantly teleported to the imperial capital, Stersky City. Jiang Yi lifted his head to see Xia Tian and Zhangsun Wuji ring at him from afar.


    The three of them could see the undisguised killing intent in their eyes!
