Chapter 2209: Root and Branch Annihilation
Unbeknownst to them, Arthur and his two companions bore a huge burden for Xiao Zheng.
Jiang Yi, unaware of Xiao Zheng’s existence, mistakenly considered Arthur and his companions as the real culprits behind the scenes.
Now, he held little animosity towards Li Gang but directed most of his hatred towards Arthur and the others. In his view, without their manipulation, the Witch Clan and the Jiang Family would never have gone to war, and so many clansmen wouldn’t have perished in battle.
"You three, just wait and see. This hatred, I must avenge!"
Jiang Yi stood facing north, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Once he gradually calmed down, his gaze fell on the battling sides below. Although he now knew the true culprits were "Arthur and his friends," he did not intend to spare the Witch Clan.
After all, seizing the Witch Clan’s territory was a great opportunity for the Jiang Family.
Moreover, perhaps the Golden Bone of the Witch Clan hadn’t been taken by Arthur and his friends. If he could lead troops straight to the Jiuli Tribe, he might even seize the Golden Bone of the Witch Clan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi finally felt a bit better.
He then hesitated no longer and directly joined the battle.
The Witch Clan was already at its last gasp, and with Jiang Yi’s involvement, the battle concluded swiftly. Once it was confirmed that no Witch Clan soldiers remained alive, a subordinate approached Jiang Yi: "Report to the Clan Leader, the Witch Clan’s army has been completely annihilated. What should we do next?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi unhesitatingly replied, "Of course, we pursue the victory. This is a rare opportunity in a hundred years, and we must not miss it!"
"This time, we must completely eradicate the Witch Clan from the Ancient World and incorporate all of the Witch Clan’s lands into the Jiang Family’s map!
Upon hearing this, excitement flickered in the eyes of the Jiang Family’s powerhouses.
Every man dreams of expanding his territory!
Now, seeing this dream about to be realized, everyone was naturally thrilled!
Jiang Yi continued, "Now, split into four groups and head to the various locations of the Witch Clan. Begin hunting down the Witch Clan’s survivors! Make sure to leave no survivors; if they belong to the Witch Clan, they must not live!"
"And what about you, Clan Leader? Aren’t you going to join us?" someone asked in surprise.
Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "I won’t join this operation; I have other important matters to handle. If Li Gang is truly dead, then the Jiuli Tribe must be vulnerable, and I intend to head straight there to assess the situation!"
"Once you complete your mission, you can come to Jiuli to rendezvous with me."
After speaking, he swiftly ascended into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yi’s figure vanished from sight.
After Jiang Yi’s departure, the Jiang Family’s army quickly split into four paths, launching their hunting journey across the Witch Clan’s territory...
On the other side.
Severing from the army, Jiang Yi headed straight for the Jiuli Tribe.
The name Jiuli, already renowned throughout the Ancient World due to the Witch Clan’s strength, naturally indicated to Jiang Yi, a powerhouse of the same realm as Li Gang, that Jiuli was the core tribe of the Witch Clan.
If the Witch Clan had hidden the Golden Bone, it would surely be within Jiuli.
Two hours later, Jiang Yi appeared above Jiuli.
At this time, the news from the frontline had yet to reach this place.
The entire Jiuli Tribe remained as peaceful and serene as ever.
However, this tranquility was completely shattered with Jiang Yi’s arrival! Not sensing Li Gang’s presence, Jiang Yi launched a fierce attack immediately!
With just one strike, the vast Jiuli Tribe became a dead city!
After accomplishing this, Jiang Yi, as if nothing significant had happened, leisurely strolled towards the distant Temple, as though he hadn’t just committed mass murder but had instead slaughtered livestock.
Upon entering the Temple, however, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
For in the air, Jiang Yi caught the thick scent of blood!
A battle had occurred here!
Jiang Yi silently cursed, then swiftly ran towards the deepest part of the Temple. Yet, when he opened the stone door and saw the empty room, his expression turned extremely grim.
"This is outrageous!"
"Absolutely outrageous!"
"Arthur, Helic, Elmer, you three are utterly ruthless!"
Jiang Yi, seemingly mad, first laughed maniacally, then raged uncontrollably.
After venting, he gradually calmed down.
No matter what, the Witch Clan’s Golden Bone had been stolen, and his anger was futile. Now, all he could do was calm down and think about his next step.
"If I’m not mistaken and the culprits are indeed Arthur and his friends, they won’t just stop with the Witch Clan!"
"With ambitions so grand, simply eliminating the Witch Clan wouldn’t satisfy their hunger. Perhaps, after finishing with the Witch Clan, their next target will be me!"
Standing at the Temple’s entrance, Jiang Yi, despite basking in sunlight, was consumed by an icy chill.
He suddenly felt afraid.
If the Giant Clan, Angel Clan, and Elf Clan truly allied, and the Jiang Family became their next target, then when the enemy loomed, how would Jiang Yi fend off these ferocious foes akin to a raging flood?
Jiang Yi dared not think about it. Whenever he did, chills crept up his spine!
"Perhaps I can’t just sit and wait for death!"
"I must strike preemptively before these three join forces against me!"
"Only this way can I secure a glimmer of hope for the Jiang Family!"
With this thought, the panic in Jiang Yi’s eyes finally disappeared.
He then used Gang Qi to transform into a command arrow, projecting it into the void. Enhanced by his Telekinesis, the arrow, bearing his orders, flew directly towards the Jiang Family headquarters.
The command Jiang Yi inscribed in the arrow was simple: after eliminating the Witch Clan, launch an attack directly on the Angel Clan, which borders the Witch Clan’s territory.
Strike first to gain the upper hand!
This was Jiang Yi’s plan, and he was now putting it into action!
Watching the arrow vanish from his sight, he turned, intending to re-enter the Witch Clan’s Temple. He was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to search the Temple thoroughly once more.
Yet, before he could step into the Temple, a peculiar feeling of being watched suddenly arose within him.
"Who’s there!"
Jiang Yi shouted, then quickly turned around.
Immediately, Xiao Zheng’s figure entered his vision!
