Jiang Yi's name was widely known. He had killed five Demigods on Stupa Mountain. They were the Demigods of the North Thearch's martial arts family as well. When the North Thearch finally took action, Jiang Yi even escaped unscathed. This caused everyone in the Snow Region to think that Jiang Yi was extremely formidable—comparable to a seven- or eight-star martial artist!
Now, even Huo Yan's strongest and most all-consuming flames did not cause any harm to Jiang Yi. Instead, the latter just absorbed the flames. Of course, Huo Yan would start to fear him. Nobody wanted to die. Even Demigods were only Demigods, not fully a god. It was understandable that Huo Yan would run away so quickly.
