Chapter 237: Crime of Treason


    The incident at Soul Break Valley was significant; after all, it was the bridal escort army that Xia Wuhui was in to fetch Su Ruoxue. It was a representation of the Divine Martial Kingdom, but the most important factor was the identity of the interceptor!


    He was the current rank no.1 prodigy of Mt. Spirit Beast College, rank no.1 in the Kingdom War, the Dragon Fang General of the Divine Martial Kingdom, and the illegitimate son of Jiang Bieli who was one of the top ten martial experts on the continent.


    Anyone of these statuses was enough to create an uproar. In the eyes of the Divine Martial Kingdoms residents, Jiang Yi was a rising star, the seconding of Jiang Bieli, and one of the hopes for Divine Martial Kingdoms future.


    Precisely because he was the illegitimate son of Jiang Bieli, this matter was immediately sent back by various nsmen of those who were in the bridal escort army using secret channels. It was then spread throughout the Divine Martial Kingdom with the fastest possible speed, soon continuing throughout the continent.


    Of course this incident was spread out so quickly and so widely was the result of Xia Wuhuis hidden incitement. If he was to give the orders to seal off this incident, it would take several months before anyone knew of this.


    The ambiguous rtionship between Su Ruoxue and Jiang Yi caused Xia Wuhuis resentment towards Jiang Yi. No man would wish for themselves to be cuckoldedlet alone a Crown Prince. Moreoverduring the previous banquet, Jiang Yi killed five Zhangsun nsmen in front of him, which was already a p on his face. Right now, he even went berserk and ughtered his army,pletely infuriating this prince.


    Thus, Xia Wuhui used all methods to penalize Jiang Yi, to set him up, and to cut off all his reinforcements. Otherwise, Jiang Bieli might interfere to protect Jiang Yi; and Xia Tingwei would have to see to it for Jiang Bielis sake.


    Right nowwith this incident spread across the continent, it wasnt just humiliating him. It was a humiliation for the Divine Martial Kingdom! Jiang Yi hadmitted a crime of treason that was no longer pardonable, where Jiang Bieli couldnt step in and even had to sever all ties with Jiang Yi. Without Jiang Bieli, Jiang Yi was just like a lone wolf to Xia Wuhui. Was it not enough to use the entire kingdoms power to kill a single person?


    Everything went ording to Xia Wuhuis ns!


    When the news traveled back to the Divine Martial Kingdom, it shook the entire kingdom; and Xia Tingwei was infuriated. Hundreds of officials and generals were so furious that they were condemning him in both speech and writing. Qian Gui, Zhan Yiming, and the others didnt dare to beg for mercy on behalf of Jiang Yi; after all, Jiang Yi went overboard this time, killing thousands of Divine Martial Camp.


    Xia Tingwei wanted to send someone to ask for Jiang Bielis opinion, but Jiang Bieli suddenly appeared and immediately fixed their involvement to Jiang Yis crimes.


    Jiang Yis actions go against all thews and are unforgivable. I have already sent the message to my n to banish Jiang Yi from the Jiang n. This child has no more ties with the Jiang n anymore. Would Your Majesty please give the decree to determine his crimes?


    Jiang Bielis tone was very firm and didnt leave any leeway. Xia Tingwei also quickly made his decision and announced the decree to the entire world that Jiang Yi hadmitted the crime of treason and would be wanted by the whole kingdom. If any residents of the Divine Martial Kingdom spotted him, they could kill him on sight.


    Zhan Wushuang was in the royal capital and was shocked when he heard this news. He only came back to his senses half a dayter as he silently gave a thumbs-up and sighed. Live as an outstanding individual and die as a hero. This is the exact description for you, Jiang Yi! Aftermitting such a crazy act, you would either leave your name in the history books or go down in history as infamy. I wonder if we would have another chance to drink and make merry. Sigh


    Qian Wanguan was still in that small city, guarding the entire inn along with the Qian nsmen; but once the news got out, there wasnt a need to guard here anymore. Qian Wanguan was currently seated on the top floor of the inn, gesturing for everyone to be dismissed as he enjoyed his wine in solitary. His face was filled with delight as he drank, grinned, andughed loudly. Boss! You have done a great job! I wonder if you got the Soul-Subduing Herb. If you did, then it would be perfect. Someone, arrange for this Young Master to set off to Mt. Spirit Beast College.


    Someone! Immediately send a scout to the Great Xia Kingdom and look for Jiang Yi. Tell him the Azure Dragon Empire would wee him to join at any time!


    In a beautiful pce hall situated in the imperial pce of the Stersky City, the pink-dressed Princess Ling Xues eyes were glowing as she immediately gave her order once she got to know of this news.


    A renegade whomitted treason required foreign aid the most, and it was the best time to recruit them.


    Something is wrong. Give me all the information on Jiang Yi.


    After giving some considerations, Princess Ling Xue felt something was wrong. Why did the illegitimate son of Jiang Bieli publiclymitted treason? It was impossible to not have any ulterior motives.


    A group of eunuchs brought over dozens of secret scrolls which Princess Ling Xue read in detail. One hourter, she cheerfully stood up and shouted delicately, Someone, bring me the Phoenix Tablet and an imperial decree, then go to the Great Xia Kingdom to look for Jiang Yi. Bestow him a Patrol Envoy status! Then tell him that this status is granted by me, but he doesnt have to do anything for the Azure Dragon Empire.


    The Patrol Envoy was a very fictitious position that didnt have any authority, but it was a rather important role on the surface, meaning that he would patrol thends representing the empire. If it was in the past when the Azure Dragon Empire governed the entire continent, this status belonged to an Imperial Envoy which could represent the Emperor to settle his affairs. Of course, this position didnt have any authority now.


    For Princess Ling Xue to grant Jiang Yi such a position was also just a front which didnt offer him any support and just a title. He could create chaosturning everything aroundwhile the empire would just sit back and enjoy the benefits. If the six vassal states were to investigate, it wouldnt be rted to the imperial n because this was granted by Princess Ling Xue and not an imperial decree by the Emperor.


    Starfall Ind, Starfall Hall!


    This was a mystical pce hall that floated in the skies about Starfall Ind, and this pce hall was a sacred ce. It was also a sacred ce to countless martial artists in the continent. There was ady residing in this pce hall, a beautifuldy who had unparalleled prowess which would shame all the men in the worldShui Yon.


    Lady Piaopiaos son is indeed exactly like her. Back in the days, Lady Piaopiao almost caused aplete chaos to the continent, and now looking at her sons situation he is also not going to give any peace to this continent!


    Shui Yon was standing alone outside a window of the pce hall, looking at the sky blue skies which matched the same color with the ocean. There was a trace of a smile on the edge of her mouth when she turned around to look at the pouting Shui Qianrou on the praying mat. She then gave a doting smile. Qianrou, you better dont go having a grudge with Jiang Yi anymore. You will be on the losing end if you continue fighting like this. Lady Piaopiao has a more ferocious nature than me; her son is also more ferocious than you. You will never be able to win against Jiang Yi in this lifetime.


    Hmph-Hmph!


    Shui Qianrou didnt want to yield as she looked out the window with a fierce expression before she turned to speak with Shui Yon, Mom, Qianrou is going to go into seclusion. I dont believe my Astral Body of Heaven couldnt win against a normal body! After I seclude for five years, I will definitely be able to reach the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm. When that timees, Qianrou will go find trouble with him again, hmph!


    Shui Yons eyes had this obscure smile as she waved. Go then. If you can break through to the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm, I will bestow the ming Phoenix to you!


    Wa! Many thanks, Mom! Your daughter shall go now.


    Shui Qianrous eyes immediately lit up. This ming Phoenix wasnt the same as a Fire Phoenix as it was a tier-four demonic beast, which was on the same strength level as a Vajra Realm martial expert. Once this ming Phoenix released its aura, even Jiang Yi would be immobilized, right? Wouldnt Jiang Yi be helpless to her ughter?


    Shui Qianrou immediately walked into a side hall and instantly closed the doors after she entered it. That absolutely beautiful petite face had this determination as she gritted her teeth and dered something before she began her seclusion.


    Jiang Yi, wait five years for me. Within these five years, you better dont die
