Red Heart Patrols the Sky

The news of Jiang Wang’s alleged death in Frost Wind Valley was too sudden. It seemed like just a moment ago, this youngest war hero in Qi Country was continuing his legend, fighting bravely and furiously slaying two Demon Kings. Then the next moment, he had an accident.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuxia was still studying detailed information about the Monster Realm, contemplating how to plan a perfect route of meritorious service for Jiang Wang’s trip to the Celestial Prison this time.

As a guest, he certainly followed the decision of Marquis Wu’an. But making reasonable suggestions was also his duty.

A person as attentive as him, he didn’t miss the cheers for Jiang Wang’s exploits, nor the lament, confusion, and shock from the people.

Yanlao City is a large city built by the human race in the Monster Realm, with standards far exceeding that of an ordinary earthly city. Only those with Godly Cultivation are qualified to meet the threshold for the position of City Lord.

Moreover, in this military city, everyone residing here is a warrior meant to fight against the Demon clan.

They are not easily swayed by anyone, nor do they engage in idle chatter.

Bai Yuxia dashed out of the courtyard specially vacated for Marquis Wu’an in Yanlao City, and saw Fang Yuanyou grabbing someone’s neck collar, furiously shouting: "What did you say? What did you say!?"

Other trusted aides belonging to Wu’an Marquis Mansion gathered around in a crowd, each looking fierce and malicious.

The person grabbed by Fang Yuanyou pleaded, "I’m not the one who said it, it was said by someone who returned from Frost Wind Valley. Perhaps they made a mistake? Gentlemen, you might want to ask yourselves."

Bai Yuxia calmed these aides and went alone to visit the City Lord of Yanlao City, Dou Yiheng.

After all, being personally brought to the Monster Realm by Marquis Wu’an, he wasn’t denied entry.

Thus he received more detailed and undeniable news—the Frost Wind Valley has already entered a period of silence, and Jiang Wang has not come out.

Anyone with even the slightest understanding of Frost Wind Valley would know what this meant.

Yanlao City was put under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. It is said Iron Rock City in Jing Country in the same area is the same.

Both Qi and Jing sides must thoroughly investigate this incident and root out the mastermind behind the conspiracy against Marquis Wu’an.

Late at night, the Commander of the Prisoner Electric Army, overseeing Qi Country’s military operations in the Monster Realm, Xiu Yuan, personally came to Yanlao City. He even went personally to Frost Wind Valley, broke through the Frost Wind Barrier, but could not find Jiang Wang’s body...

But at the moment, none of this directly concerns Bai Yuxia.

He felt lost.

The first rebellion in his life was when he put everything aside to follow Xiang Qian and roam the sword world. But upon turning back, his father was gone, and the grand edifice of Langya Bai’s Family was crumbling.

Realizing there was absolutely no hope in Yue Country, decisively abandoning everything, he ventured alone to Qi Country, joined the Jiang Wang mansion, which he was confident would become dominant in the future.

But he had just begun having meals at Wu’an Marquis Mansion, lifting his head, and Marquis Wu’an was gone.

Could it be that I, Bai Yuxia, am truly the fabled ominous star?

Whomsoever I meet, I harm?

Even someone like Jiang Wang, who had amassed fame and power, could be put to death because of me?

He also recalled that before meeting him, Xiang Qian’s sword journey around the world had been smooth sailing. It was only after meeting him that Xiang Qian was suspended on Tianmu Peak, hanging half-dead...

"Master Bai, what should we do now?" Fang Yuanyou asked with red eyes.

To be honest, even with Bai Yuxia’s disposition, it was difficult to accept such a result at this moment.

Everything was too abrupt.

Although behind The Gate of All Demons, anyone could die. But Jiang Wang was such a strong figure of worldwide renown, his reputation long exceeded that of the younger generation. In terms of achievements and prestige, he was undoubtedly the number one genius in Daqi.

Yet such a person, who created extraordinary history and military accomplishments, reportedly died on the first day in the Monster Realm... this was absurd.

Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.

"What do you think?" Bai Yuxia asked, trying to remain calm.

"I want to stay in Yanlao City, find out the masterminds, and avenge the Marquis," Fang Yuanyou said through gritted teeth, "That’s what the brothers all think too!"

He was truly from a humble background, without outstanding talent or abilities. It was merely by his sheer bravery and loyalty that Jiang Wang cherry-picked him from the ranks, allowing him to become leader of the Marquis Mansion Guards, soaring to heights and chatting with people he previously could only look up to.

It could be said that everything he had today was due to Jiang Wang. And today, someone had removed his foundation. How could he not be upset; how could he not harbor hatred?

"Though we may participate in finding the masterminds, we must be aware that it’s ultimately a matter for the higher-ups."

Bai Yuxia spoke while contemplating, "But you are right about staying in Yanlao City, and I support it. If a person is alive, we should see them, if dead, we should find the body. There is still a sliver of hope before seeing the Marquis. We should stay here and wait for him. Even if in the end, nothing can be undone, the Marquis still has a direct disciple... we have to support him well."

He didn’t know Jiang Wang also had a sister. But the immediate priority is how to stabilize everything Jiang Wang built. If Jiang Wang could return, his foundation would still be there. If he never returns, his lifelong endeavors can still continue...

The premise for stabilizing everything requires a core figure and a legitimately recognized banner.

And Chu Yao, being Jiang Wang’s direct disciple, has the qualification to inherit Wu’an Marquis Mansion.

Seeing Fang Yuanyou fully understand his intention, Bai Yuxia patted his shoulder: "Tell the brothers to prepare for battle. Also, immediately send someone back to Linzi to report to the Marquis of Bowang, without exaggeration, just speak of what you know. Send some clever ones out to gather information. It is obvious that the Marquis fell into a trap, we cannot simply listen to what others say."
