Chapter 846: Chapter 649 Unlucky_3
Long Yi walked into the old Mage’s mansion with a smile, and after a burst of screams, Long Yi walked out again, his face wearing a satisfied smile.
After that, Saint Caran never saw Long Yi again, but news about Long Yi kept coming. He swept from one planet to another, and no one could stop his vendetta. All the Mages who had paid for his head were ultimately beheaded by Long Yi, regardless of how desperately they begged for mercy. As for the soldiers who tried to intercept Long Yi, he showed no mercy to them either; however, there was one rule—if you simply stood aside with your hands raised and didn’t make a move, Long Yi would pay you no mind. Hence, a strange phenomenon occurred. Despite the numerical superiority and grandeur of The Divine Auffa Empire’s warriors, they just stood there, hands raised, without engaging. After a few battles, Long Yi had already gauged the strength of these soldiers and, seeing no need to waste time, he would saunter past them into the hiding places of those old Mages and behead them before leaving.
Ai Lin always kept track of Long Yi’s progress, with the daily stream of news delighting her for a long time. Meanwhile, the Divine Auffa Empire was busy, especially the Emperor, who had developed a keen interest in Long Yi. Such a formidable warrior who could calmly face a Sanctuary Mage and keep slaughtering his enemies amidst the encirclement of The Divine Auffa Empire’s regular army was like a godsend asset for the Empire!
Most importantly, he harbored enmity towards The Divine Auffa Empire! This was perfect! A warrior who was a headache for The Divine Auffa Empire’s Emperor, yet ended up joining the Divine Auffa Empire. Wouldn’t this infuriate the opposite Emperor to death?
But if they were to recruit Long Yi directly now, it would almost be tantamount to declaring war on The Divine Auffa Empire. What should they do?
At this moment, the First Prince, Saint Cassio, came up with a solution. Long Yi had once said that after completing his revenge, he would return to the Stellar Realm Arena to vie for the title of King of the Stellar Realm Arena. It seemed that there wouldn’t be any issues with that. And once Long Yi was crowned, Prince Saint Cassio could immediately invite Long Yi to join his followers in the capacity of a Crown Prince. Of course, for a warrior of Long Yi’s caliber, he deserved better treatment. So long as it wasn’t too preposterous, everything was negotiable—after all, Long Yi alone had slain three thousand of The Divine Auffa Empire’s regular army!
Now combine that with Ai Lin, who once made the Sanctuary Mage Jenna flee in disarray, and Long Yi, who not only killed Jenna but also dared to pursue all old Mages across the Plane.
With these two joining the Divine Auffa Empire, it could not be more perfect!
However, what the Emperor was even more curious about was who Ai Lin’s teacher could be. Such a young Sanctuary Mage, so powerful, couldn’t possibly be without a teacher. If Ai Lin was already so strong, then just how powerful could her teacher be?
Currently, all across the Plane, those old Mages who had once tried to buy Long Yi’s head were panic-stricken. In the blink of an eye, a third of them had their heads forcefully twisted off by Long Yi. And the remaining two-thirds were steadily decreasing in number!
Just then, The Divine Auffa Empire’s Emperor also realized that using ordinary soldiers to deal with Long Yi was completely self-deceptive. Long Yi was a Powerhouse and also the most abnormal kind of Mountain Giant, the kind with the talent of limitless stamina as long as their feet were on the ground—indeed, the hardest to deal with. Soon, The Divine Auffa Empire issued an order for all troops to return, leaving many hopeful old Mages utterly without support.
However, at this time, Long Yi announced that if the remaining old Mages each paid a hefty sum of money—equal to the initial amount put on Long Yi’s head—he would decide to drop the matter.
The amount was substantial, after all, those old Mages had been angry and had crowdfunded the bounty, so the sum was incredibly large. Now, requiring each Mage to pay such an amount would definitely be painful for them, but pain was always better than death, right?
Of course, there were some who were tough, with a few Mages preferring to lose their lives rather than pay up. For such stingy individuals, Long Yi had to pay a personal visit—to persuade them. Joking aside, what use would he have for their heads? Little money was truly sweet!
That’s right! Long Yi’s so-called vendetta was, in essence, just a way to make money. He had heard that whether it was in the higher, middle, or lower Planes, currency was universally valid. Since it was universal, that made things easy. He aimed to earn some early money, to avoid future financial struggles.
Some Mages immediately changed their minds after personally meeting Long Yi, obediently paying up to save their lives. While some old Mages actually did not believe Long Yi would kill them, they even thought the stories of Long Yi killing those Mages were concocted by Long Yi himself!
For such people, Long Yi had no need to be courteous—killing a chicken to scare the monkeys sufficed.
After travelling around various corners of the universe, earning a full pot, Long Yi immediately set off to return to the Stellar Realm Arena.
To welcome Long Yi’s return, the Slaughter Hell Arena had started their publicity campaign early. On that day, the arena which could normally accommodate forty thousand people was crammed with fifty-six thousand, almost blocking the aisles with people!
Everyone who followed the arena or even those who didn’t knew about Long Yi by now. Everything he did during the past period of time had shocked every spectator. He had dismissed The Divine Auffa Empire’s soldiers with contempt, exacting revenge on every old Mage that had once plotted to buy his head. Such deeds, akin to those from literary works, were enacted by Long Yi in reality.
And just when everyone thought Long Yi wouldn’t return, he came back! Clearly, he valued the title of King of the Stellar Realm Arena!
With Long Yi’s return, the actual sufferers were the last ten Gladiators on the Slaughter Hell ladder. They were indeed strong, very strong, each with the strength to stand on their own. However, overshadowed by Long Yi’s Halo, they seemed less formidable. Especially given Long Yi’s actions, none of them could honestly claim they could do the same.
Entering a battle with someone as ferocious as Long Yi?
Before the match even began, nearly everyone had gone weak at the knees. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
