Chapter 1462: Uncontrollable

The four divine beasts were not like the spirit beasts that Jiang Yi had encountered; they had been tamed and not subdued. They did not have a mental connection to their master and, hence, had not perished because he had died.

However, these four divine beasts had a very deep connection with the previous Phantom King. It was said that when his corpse had been brought back, the four divine beasts wailed in mourning for a full day and night before entering into slumber. In the past decades, they had not woken up even once and had slept in this battle arena, becoming like four statutes. No one expected that they would wake up at this moment because of Jiang Yi's terrifying piece!

"Uh..."

Qi Qingchen's body paused in midair as Yi Tu and Mo Lingqiu also stopped. They looked in alarm at the four divine beasts in the four corners that were still howling away. Yi Tu's expression soon turned from shock into horror; the four divine beasts' eyes had gradually turned red while their beast aura grew heavier and heavier. They suddenly flew into the sky and started heading towards the three spectators' stands.

"Qi Qingchen! Hurry up and help suppress the divine beasts!"

Yi Tu howled out loud. However, Qi Qingchen did not move as she looked to the Saint Spirit Mountain as a white shadow exploded forward, holding a seven-tiered treasure pagoda. His crazed aura enveloped the entire place as he roared, "Four darn beasts, you dare to harm humans?"

He single-handedly propelled the treasure pagoda to fly forward as it gradually grew bigger; it became ten thousand feet wide as it shone with a seven-colored light. A vast aura spread outwards and suppressed the entire place.

Roar! Wu! Chi! Howl!

From all around, the four divine beasts' howls rang out as they remained where they were, staring straight at the treasure pagoda. Their eyes suddenly became humane and revealed a sliver of longing, extreme agony, and even a little fear. The redness in their eyes steadily disappeared, and they became beams of light and returned to the four raised dais in the corner. They looked at the pagoda with fear, not daring to move an inch.

"Majesty Father!"

Yi Tu relaxed as he hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Luckily, the Phantom King had appeared in time and had taken out a relic passed down from the previous Phantom King to suppress the four divine beasts. If not, even with Qi Qingchen's assistance, many people would have died today. These four divine beasts were ten-million-year-old Chaos Beasts after all.

At this moment, the majority of people under the influence of the zither's music also woke up. Some of those that had been knocked unconscious also started to stir. They looked at the four awakened divine beasts and then at the man collapsed in the battle arena, covered with blood, with a certain amount of astonishment and fear.

This day, they had finally witnessed what was called a formidable mystical ability secret art. A piece of music had actually almost made all of them go berserk, had awoken four divine beasts that had been in slumber for decades, and had almost killed all of them.

Horrifying!

Recalling what had just happened, many formidable martial artists' hearts skipped a beat as they breathed out heavily. Their backs were wet with sweat while their chests were stained with tears they had cried.

The Phantom King stood upright in midair as his fierce glare looked about and finally at Jiang Yi who was covered in his own blood. The Phantom King was extremely tall, and his features distinct; his hair was all white, and his face stern. He looked like an extremely old-fashioned and strict old man at first glance while the terrifying aura from his body made everyone pause.

"Greeting to the Clan King!"

Everyone from the Saint Spirit Domain present all genuflected in greeting. Qi Qingchen bowed slightly as well and greeted, "Qingchen pays her respects to the Phantom King!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

All the formidable martial artists and young masters and young mistresses in all the pavilions to the north also flew out, paused in midair, and greeted respectfully, "Greetings to the Phantom King!"

Something wasn't right.

One person did not greet the Phantom King. A pair of wings had appeared on her back as she transformed into a beam of green light and shot straight for the battle arena.

Her eyes were filled with tears as she trembled when she reached Jiang Yi's side. She knelt on the floor and carried Jiang Yi in her arms as a flash of green light appeared in her hand. She unmasked Jiang Yi slowly, and upon seeing Jiang Yi's handsome face, she cried out loudly, "Young Master, it indeed is you!"

"Young Lady!"

"Sh*t..."

The formidable martial artists from the Ink Feather Race had just been greeting the Phantom King and did not expect Jiang Xiaonu to fly out to the battle arena and were now startled. Mo Lingqiu's face darkened as he cursed. The Green Eagle King's seal on Jiang Xiaonu's memories had actually been broken by Jiang Yi's piece.

"Hold it right there!"

Jiang Xiaonu saw that the men from the Ink Feather Race were about to fly over as her eyes grew cold, and she shouted harshly, "Anyone that dares to come over, do not blame me for being heartless!"

"Young Master?"

Mo Huaisang, Di Ling'er, and others were stunned. They did not know about the relationship between Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu as this matter had been sealed by the Earth Emanations Sovereign.

They looked at Jiang Xiaonu in confusion, seeing as she did not care that her white dress had been stained with blood but was shouting at the Ink Feather Race formidable martial artists for them to stop approaching, cupping Jiang Yi's face in her hands gently. Jiang Xiaonu cried out repeatedly, "Young Master, Young Master, it is Xiaonu! Young Master, please wake up! This is Xiaonu..."

The few formidable martial artists from the Ink Feather Race exchanged a glance as their faces darkened. They knew this young mistress's temperament very well. After returning to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm, she had created ruckus after ruckus and had almost infuriated the Green Eagle King to the point of death; she had also threatened to kill herself repeatedly.

The few of them did not dare to act rashly as they silently sent a message to Little Eagle King, for him to come and bring Jiang Xiaonu away.

The Phantom King stood upright in midair as he looked down at Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu. His brows knotted as he finally looked at Yi Tu and said coldly, "The tournament will end now. All are to return to the Heavenly Charm City. I will have to tame these four divine beasts personally, or they might harm people next time."

"Alright!"

Yi Tu nodded as he hurriedly discussed with the other seventeen judges to decide the top three winners of the Wen Fight and then to ask everyone to leave.

The eighteen judges sent voice transmissions for a while, and Yi Tu finally spoke. "We will now announce the top three winners of the Wen Fight. The third place goes to Rui Li from the Dragon Bone Domain, the second place goes to the Greenwave Domain's Wu Dao while the first place goes to Divine River Domain's... He Xiang!"

"Eh?"

Astonishment filled the area at once. Everyone knew the three men; their mystical abilities were indeed formidable, and He Xiang's light-element nomological mystical ability that could regenerate body parts was also heaven-defying.

However, why not Jiang Yi?

Mo Huaisang, Xuanyuan Wudi, Jiutian Wen, and Di Ling'er all looked stunned. Although Mo Huaisang and the others had disliked Jiang Yi, that had changed after Jiang Yi's performance. Now, they actually felt proud that Jiang Yi represented the Earth Emanations Domain. They did not expect that Jiang Yi not only did not get number-one; he wasn't even in the top three?

Qi Qingchen's eyes also flashed her surprise. However, she understood immediately.

Jiang Yi's mystical ability was indeed number-one. However, many aspects of him were uncontrollable. Even when Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu had asked him to stop, he not only didn't but grew even more crazed; he had almost turned the battle arena into a bloodbath.

Jiang Yi was a crazed fellow; his playing had been filled with an unlimited amount of rage and hatred. This type of person was the most terrifying; not only could he not be nurtured, but something had to be done to suppress him... or even kill him!

Too many unknowns and uncertainties plagued Jiang Yi; he could not be controlled. If he became even stronger in the future, he could actually bring disaster to the human race.

Of course, what Qi Qingchen did not know was... Mo Lingqiu had been the decisive factor why Jiang Yi had not been among the top three. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had instructed him prior to this journey that Jiang Yi's identity could not be revealed. Now that Jiang Yi had become the focal point of attention and that Jiang Xiaonu had unexpectedly regained her memories, Mo Lingqiu was afraid that this matter might get out of hand. Hence, he decided to keep Jiang Yi in his spatial item and bring him back to the Earth Emanations Domain immediately.

Little did he know...

Mo Lingqiu's actions had, in fact, provoked Jiang Xiaonu. After hearing the results, she turned her head furiously as her eyes glowed cold. She looked at Yi Tu and said, "Are you blind? If my young master cannot be the first, who else can be? He Xiang, scram over! Do you dare to claim this first position? Do you believe that I will kill you here and now?"
