Chapter 708
Lin Moyu clenched his fists. "This is the world of the human race. Whether it be the Abyss or the Dragon Race, none of you should be here."
Back when he was studying, Lin Moyu already had his own ideas: as long as he had sufficient power, he would definitely kill his way into the Abyss and wipe out the demon race.
Now, he had to add the Dragon Race to that list.
A beam of sword light approached from afar, flying rapidly toward them.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light stopped above the fortress.
Jiang Yi arrived, stepping on the demon-slaying sword. He flew in from outside the fortress, not once glancing at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield outside.
He flew past not far from Lin Moyu without even looking at him.
Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat as he realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yi, something that seemed to exceed his estimations.
It was not as simple as just being affected.
Otherwise, how could he not recognize him? One had to know that he had spent hundreds of years alone in the secret realm, and the only person he had communicated with was him.
If he didn't even recognize him, then there was a major problem.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to enter the fortress, the fortress's formation suddenly flickered and blocked him.
Although he was human, he was not recognized by the fortress.
Lin Moyu watched as Jiang Yi was blocked, but he did not speak up.
Jiang Yi did not force his way in; he spoke, "I am Jiang Yi. Open the formation."
Jiang Yi's voice passed through the formation.
This sound made Lin Moyu feel strange again.
Jiang Yi's voice was somewhat low and slightly hoarse.
"His voice has changed."
In Jiang Yi's secret realm, Lin Moyu had once had a direct conversation with Jiang Yi's soul.
He was certain that the voice he heard at that time was Jiang Yi's own voice.
Even though Jiang Yi was only in a soul state back then, when he manifested a human form, he would inevitably have retained his own voice.
Now, the voice had changed.
There was another point that caught Lin Moyu's attention: there was not a single trace of the scent of blood on Jiang Yi.
He had gone to hunt down the Dragon Race and demon armies, returning only after half a day; he must have gone through battle after battle.
With his strength, the number of dragons and demons that died by his hand must be significant. How could there be no scent of blood at all?
Not only was there no scent of blood, but even his killing intent was completely restrained.
This would be normal in ordinary times, but with the great war having just ended, it became unusual.
The soldiers still cleaning the battlefield outside the fortress carried the scent of blood and killing intent.
Moreover, what was Jiang Yi doing here? Why did he want to come to Fortress No. 9?
Someone rose into the air from within the fortress; it was General Wang Lin.
Usually, matters in Fortress No. 9 were handled by General Wang Lin.
Only when he could not handle them would Senior Ye Hao step in.
"Jiang Yi?" General Wang Lin's tone was strange as he looked Jiang Yi up and down.
Jiang Yi was also looking him over. "Level 92, low-level god rank."
A hint of disdain could be heard in his tone.
General Wang Lin could not discern Jiang Yi's level, but he could feel the other party's power.
Standing before him, he felt a strong sense of oppression.
He knew this was caused by the vast difference in their strength.
The other party was so strong, and his name was Jiang Yi…
General Wang Lin suddenly thought of something. "Are you… God Yi?"
Jiang Yi said, "It is I. Open the formation; I want to go in."
General Wang Lin exclaimed, "You are really God Yi? Didn't you fall more than 600 years ago?"
Jiang Yi snorted coldly, "I did not die; I was merely sleeping. Now, I have been resurrected. Open the formation; I want to go in."
Lin Moyu listened from the side, silently thinking, "That's the third time, and his tone is even more urgent than before. What is he trying to do?"
Lin Moyu could already be certain that Jiang Yi had a purpose for coming here, he just didn't know what it was.
Fortress No. 9 was the terminus of the Eternal Great Wall's formation and also its strongest point.
It was close to the entrance of the Abyss, and whenever there was any fighting, this was the most intense place.
Apart from that, Fortress No. 9 was no different from the other fortresses.
Lin Moyu thought of the demon-exterminating tower. If there was any difference, the demon-exterminating tower was the only one.
But he immediately dismissed it.
The demon-exterminating tower and Jiang Yi were not products of the same era; in Jiang Yi's time, there was no demon-exterminating tower.
"Then what is he here for?"
Lin Moyu did not speak up from the side; he also wanted to see what Jiang Yi's goal was.
General Wang Lin was still cautious and did not directly open the formation.
Instead, he sent out a message.
Soon, others flew over from the fortress. Senior Ye Hao and the others arrived, and Bai Yiyuan was among them.
This time, Bai Yiyuan had come to Fortress No. 9 to provide support and take command. The great war had just ended, and he had not yet left.
In fact, when Bai Yiyuan arrived, the great war was already nearing its end, and he hadn't even really made a move.
Looking at him, it seemed his relationship with Senior Ye Hao had eased somewhat.
Just now, Lin Moyu had brought news about Jiang Yi, but he had only told Bai Yiyuan; he hadn't even told Senior Ye Hao.
The moment Senior Ye Hao saw Jiang Yi, his body trembled violently. "Are you God Yi?"
Jiang Yi frowned as he looked at Senior Ye Hao. "Who are you?"
Senior Ye Hao bowed to Jiang Yi. "Junior Ye Hao pays respects to God Yi!"
Chapter 688: A Single Oversight, One Mistake Leads to Another
Jiang Yi looked at Senior Ye Hao. "Your surname is Ye?"
Senior Ye Hao nodded. "My ancestor is Ye Boran!"
Jiang Yi said, "I didn't expect you to be a descendant of Boran."
Senior Ye Hao said, "Back then, thanks to God Yi saving my ancestor, he later founded the Ye family in Shancheng, which has been passed down to this day."
Jiang Yi did not say anything more about the Ye family, but spoke for the fourth time, "Open the formation."
This time, he seemed to be trying hard to remain calm, but Lin Moyu felt that Jiang Yi was even more anxious than before.
He observed Jiang Yi from the side and found that there was no interest in Ye Boran in Jiang Yi's eyes; he was just being perfunctory.
It couldn't be said that there was no interest, but rather a trace of disgust.
Senior Ye Hao was somewhat excited at this moment and did not notice God Yi's abnormality.
Lin Moyu secretly sent a message to Bai Yiyuan, telling him to be careful and stay away.
Senior Ye Hao immediately ordered the formation to be opened to let Jiang Yi in.
General Wang Lin naturally would not disobey Senior Ye Hao's order; a passage appeared in the formation, allowing Jiang Yi to pass through.
Jiang Yi entered the formation and did not stop, but flew toward the center of the fortress.
He looked very purposeful.
Senior Ye Hao followed by Jiang Yi's side. "Senior God Yi, my ancestor Boran once left behind an ancestral instruction, saying that you had not fallen and that you were very likely to be resurrected and return in the future."
"Is that so?" Jiang Yi smiled, though not quite a smile, his eyes revealing something strange.
Senior Ye Hao said, "That is what my ancestor said."
"What else did he say?"
"My ancestor said that your talent is unparalleled. If you were to be resurrected and return, you would be the strongest of the human race. If anyone could become a Super God, it would undoubtedly be you."
Senior Ye Hao's tone was slightly excited; clearly, Jiang Yi's return and the fulfillment of his ancestor's words had a significant impact on him.
Jiang Yi revealed a smile. "Boran really understood me. It's a pity…"
"It's a pity what?" Senior Ye Hao was still unaware, but at this moment, General Wang Lin felt that something was wrong.
General Wang Lin frowned, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yi, his fists already clenched unconsciously.
Jiang Yi's gaze swept over General Wang Lin inadvertently, then he shook his head, revealing a trace of disdain.
At this time, the group had arrived at the center of the fortress, in a vast, open plaza.
This was originally the place where the demon-exterminating tower was placed. After the demon-exterminating tower was taken by Lin Moyu, this place had been left vacant.
Lin Moyu followed from afar; he didn't know why Jiang Yi wanted to come here.
Jiang Yi stopped and scanned the plaza. "It's been cleaned up quite nicely."
Senior Ye Hao said, "Originally, there was a tower placed here. Now the tower has been…"
"Watch out!"
Before he could finish his sentence, General Wang Lin suddenly let out a roar.
Then, sword light flashed. Senior Ye Hao was pushed aside, a scream rang out, and blood sprayed into the sky.
General Wang Lin had pushed Senior Ye Hao away, and his arms were swept by the sword light, severed cleanly.
Before Senior Ye Hao could react, the sword light flared up again.
At the same time, a massive aura rushed in from behind, colliding with the sword light.
The violent impact knocked Senior Ye Hao far away. Bai Yiyuan blocked the fatal blow for Senior Ye Hao, but he was also sent flying.
With a bang, a rain of blood showered the sky.
General Wang Lin was shredded into pieces by another beam of sword light.
Bai Yiyuan had saved Senior Ye Hao, but he failed to save General Wang Lin.
General Wang Lin had first pushed Senior Ye Hao away, his arms severed.
Then, the second sword strike killed him instantly.
No one expected that Jiang Yi would suddenly erupt, and turn his hand against his own people.
If Lin Moyu hadn't told Bai Yiyuan to be careful, Bai Yiyuan wouldn't have anticipated it either.
"General Wang Lin!" Senior Ye Hao finally reacted, letting out an exclamation.
Bai Yiyuan glared at Jiang Yi and shouted angrily, "Jiang Yi, what do you think you are doing?"
Bai Yiyuan had no friendship with General Wang Lin, but General Wang Lin was, after all, a god-rank powerhouse among the human race. Watching him be killed, and by someone who was also human, Bai Yiyuan felt extremely stifled.
The bond between Senior Ye Hao and General Wang Lin was extremely deep. General Wang Lin had always viewed Senior Ye Hao as his elder. Senior Ye Hao had no offspring in his life, and he had treated General Wang Lin as half a son.
Seeing General Wang Lin die on the spot, his eyes filled with sorrow and tears streaming down his face, he shouted at Jiang Yi, "Why?"
Jiang Yi's expression was gloomy at this moment, and he sneered, "I didn't expect this guy to be so loyal, willing to die for you."
"Why? There is no why. I just wanted god-rank blood. Originally, you were quite suitable, but now, this will have to do."
Jiang Yi was expressionless. He stretched out his hand, and a large amount of blood flew out, raining down like raindrops.
The blood was black and red; the black was demon blood, and the red was dragon blood.
The blood radiated a powerful aura; without exception, it was all the blood of demon kings and dragon kings.
He had collected a large amount of god-rank blood; no one knew what Jiang Yi was going to do.
