Chapter 1226: The Mastermind''s Identity


    The pretty priestess controlled her red whip and separated the two of them. Jiang Yi asked Mei Ru to send a message to the priestess, to use all her powers to fight back the demonic dragon king first. Although he had many questions for the priestess, it was not the time yet to ask.


    The priestess actually had not suffered any heavy injuries just now, only superficial wounds. Her dress had powerful defensive abilities that were not something the mere weight of a demonic dragon king could break through. She was ferociously attacking the demonic dragon king now. Jiang Yi, however, did not dare tounch any attacks. The demonic dragon kings speed was too fast; he could do nothing useful.


    The demonic dragon kings underbelly had been sliced open, and blood was flowing out uncontrobly. Its speed had evidently been slowed. However, it was as ferocious as ever. He had continuously sent seven to eight Fierce Warriors flying and had killed a few dozen Brave Warriors.


    All are to retreat!


    Jiang Yi saw that the Brave Warriors were not a match for the demonic dragon king at all and asked the priestess to give themand. Chui Ye and the others did not dare to defy her and swiftly backed away. Jiang Yi took the opportunity and retreated as well.


    Jiang Yi realized that many savages were looking at him differently now. He was the one who had rescued the priestess before. The crux was that he had hugged her and rolled about for a while; many were envious and jealous of his good fortune. After all, the priestess had the status of a Sacred Lady; who would dare to slight her?


    The intense battle continued. The demonic dragon king had gone crazy and was attacking all the Fierce Warriors. It was also rushing to attack the Brave Warriors present; many Brave Warriors perished. Jiang Yi was very smart and had backed away earlier on; to be a hero now would only be courting ones death. This demonic dragon king was going to die sooner orter; at Jiang Yis current speedalthough he wouldnt be killed by the demonic dragon king, he could potentially be wounded by it.


    The priestess continued with her pursuit and many a time pierced the demonic dragon kings underbelly, widening the wound. It was losing more and more blood as its speed continued to decrease. Five minutester, it suddenly wailed loudly as it turned and fled. With this wail, the other demonic dragons all retreated as well; the battle was finally over.


    Clean up this ce, rest for a while. We will depart soon after.


    Jiang Yi asked the priestess to give such an order. However, he did not stupidly go near the priestess; that would attract attention. He only asked Mei Ru to let the priestess find an opportunity to call him over.


    Chui Ye andpany had started to clean up the battlefield. The ring on the priestess hand lit up as she retrieved a Heaven Fate Canopy and went inside to rest. Many people were amazed at the Heaven Fate Canopy, but no one dared to ask too many questions.


    You,e here. The priestess requests your presence.


    After a while, a Fierce Warrior surrounding the Heaven Fate Canopy suddenly gestured towards Jiang Yi. Many savages looked towards Jiang Yi; they were filled with envy and jealousy. Some even secretly regretted not rushing forward just now to save the priestess. If not, they would be the ones the priestess would be summoning now.


    Jiang Yis expression was one of fear and trepidation, although he was secretly smiling inside; he slowly walked into the tent. As he entered, there was a sh and he was in adys private quarters. That priestess was standing respectfully and knelt down when she saw Jiang Yi. She greeted, Wu Queer pays her respects to my Lord.


    Wu Queer?


    Jiang Yis eyes shed as he suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, What is your rtionship with Wu Yinger?


    Wu Queer looked slightly shocked as she truthfully said, She is my elder sister.


    What?


    Jiang Yi suddenly forgot himself and yelled out. Wu Yinger was Wu Nis elder sister! When Jiang Yi was hunting Wu Ni and attacking the Flood Martial City back then, he had once taken Wu Yinger and her husband hostage. He knew Wu Yinger quite well. Now, this Wu Queer had said that Wu Yinger was her sister? That meant that Wu Queer was also a sibling of Wu Ni; ady of the Wu n?


    His eyes shed coldly as he hurriedly asked, Is your father the North Emperor? Is your grandfather the North Thearch?


    Yes! Wu Queer nodded and answered very surely.


    North Thearch!


    Jiang Yi gritted his teeth as he yelled out furiously, his eyes full of rage as his facial muscles became taut. Since Wu Queer was one of the masterminds henchmen, that meant the mastermind was the North Thearch!


    The Buddha Thearch and others reasoning, Yin Ruobings guarantee Wu Shangs actions during the battle between the humans and the demons; all these had dispelled Jiang Yis suspicion of the North Thearch being the mastermind. Jiang Yi had also thought that being one of the Nine Thearch ns, the Wu ns rules were iron-d; and the elders in the n would not support the North Thearchs depraved behavior. Who would have thought that it was really the North Thearch behind everything!


    If it really was the Wu n, many things would make much more sense.


    The information that Ji Tingyu and the Wu n had on him was veryplete; they were very clear of the rtionship Jiang Yi had with Jiang Yunhai, Qian Gui, Shui Yon, Yun Tianqing, andpany. Furthermore, the Shadow Emperor had mentioned that five Wu n Demigods had mysteriously disappeared while only a few Demigods had gone to the Stersky Continent; everything here matched up.


    Together with everything that had happened afterward; Jiang Yi being lured to attack the Evil Thearch City and Beast Thearch City was obviously for the sake of instigating a war between him and the two ns. No matter who won, the entire continent would be in even more chaos; the Wu n could then reap the most out of the situation.


    The objective of instigating the thirty-six ns to attack the Yi n was also clear: that was to set a trap for Jiang Yi at Stupa City to kill him. Regarding the war between the humans and the demons, the North Thearch had yed a crucial role in framing Ao Lu and in the formation of the alliance army.


    Even more things now that it was confirmed that the North Thearch was the mastermind, everything seemed to make much more sense.


    Something isnt right though!


    Jiang Yi thought furiously for a while; there were still some doubts in his mind. This time, the mastermind was incredibly strong; no one n could have nned and executed everything. One point, in particr, was still in doubtmany of those Demigods that had attacked were unfamiliar faces and had never been seen before on the continent. It was impossible that the Wu n had kept so many mysterious Demigods hidden.


    The Heaven Nether Sect!


    Jiang Yis eyes once again shed a cold glow. The Heaven Nether Sect had formed a marriage alliance with the Wu n while the previous Saint Lady was Wu Nis mother. Together with the mysterious Xing Mengwan, Jiang Yi started to piece things together.


    His gaze furiously swept towards Wu Queer as he coldly asked, Everything that has happened this time; is the Heaven Nether Sect involved?


    What Heaven Nether Sect?


    Wu Queer blinked in confusion as she answered, What is my Lord saying? What has Heaven Nether Sect been involved in?


    You do not know?


    Jiang Yi was utterly confused, as he asked again, Do you not know what has happened outside? Your Wu n is plotting to take over the entire Stersky Domain; do you not know?


    I do not know.


    Wu Queer was even more perplexed as she said, We had entered here one and a half years ago. We have never left since; we do not know what has happened outside.


    If Jiang Yi did not know that Wu Queer did not dare to lie to him, Jiang Yi would have pped her. He asked in bewilderment, Then how have you guys beenmunicating with the outside world? How did you know I had entered? How did the Buddha Thearchs Vajra Scepter leave this ce? Oh right, are the Buddha Thearch andpany still alive?


    Before Wu Queer had been bewitched by Mei Ru, she had indeed called his name and had said that once Jiang Yi had entered the Death Gods Dense Sea, his fate had been sealed. That meant that she had received news and knew that he had entered this ce.


    We have a very strong message transmitting secret formation.


    Wu Queer honestly exined and said, I know that you have entered because my n had sent word. As for the situation outside, no one has told us anything. The Buddha Thearch andpanys weapons were also sent out using a special Teleportation Formation. En, the Buddha Thearch andpany are still alive; they are being held in the Saint Emperor City.


    So long as they are not dead, all is good!


    Jiang Yi breathed out loudly. Now that he had control over Wu Queer, there was a higher possibility he could save the Buddha Thearch and others.


    He paused for a moment and did not ask anything more about the Heaven Nether Sect. Wu Queer seemed to know little; there was no point in asking her. He asked the most important question, Could you help me to rescue the Buddha Thearch and others and send us out of the Death Gods Dense Sea?


    No!


    After Wu Queer thought for a while, she said firmly, It should not be hard to rescue the Buddha Thearch andpany; however, I have no way to send you guys out.


    Why? Jiang Yis eyes shed coldly; he had a bad premonition.


    Wu Queer smiled bitterly and said, That is because no one here can leave! If not, a few months ago, we wouldnt have needed to send the Buddha Thearch andpanys weapons out; we could have just sent their corpses out instead.
