“A deal?”
Jiang Yi thought for a while, looked up, and asked, “I took away two Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasures that belonged to Lei Qiyan. The Lei Clan will definitely be furious. Will the other three clans stand up against the Lei Clan for me, an outsider? You also know that… it’s impossible for me to join their clans. I’m used to being free and will go back to the East Imperial Continent one day to avenge myself.”
“You don’t have to join them.”
Huangfu Taotian smiled and said with confidence, “Brother Jiang, you don’t know your value. If you promise you to give them a few high-class Heaven Paintings, the top three clans will definitely risk falling out with Tiger Lei in order to protect you. Of course… your Heaven Painting must have one upper-tier dao pattern and at least three stars and above. Do you have the faith to do so? If you do, let’s go talk to Situ Clan or Nangong Clan tomorrow.”
This time, Huangfu Taotian left Huangfu Clan out. Jiang Yi thought for a while and said, “It’s no problem to congeal the upper-tier Heaven Painting. Right now, I have fused seven dao patterns for my upper-tier dao pattern and will complete it in the near future. Brother Huangfu… how about negotiating with the Huangfu Clan?”
Jiang Yi’s intention was very obvious. As they would benefit one clan, they might as well go to the Huangfu Clan. After all, Huangfu Taotian came from the Huangfu Clan. However, Huangfu Taotian shook his head and said, “It’s fine that you turn to the Huangfu Clan, but I won’t follow you to stay in the Huangfu Residence. I once swore to never enter the Huangfu Residence ever again.”
“Huh!”
Jiang Yi didn’t expect Huangfu Taotian to be so obstinate. He gave Qian Wanguan a look and said with his teeth clenched, “Then, let’s go to the Situ Residence tomorrow.”
The Situ Clan had always shown good faith to him. Situ Yixiao and Situ Yinian left a pretty good impression on Jiang Yi, too. Besides, Qian Wanguan liked Situ Yinian very much. Jiang Yi wanted to see whether he could help Qian Wanguan to complete the business this time. If not, it would end Qian Wanguan’s dream for good.
The Nangong Clan was actually a pretty good choice. Big Sister Bell came from the Nangong Clan too. Pitifully, Nangong Yunyi was too inflexible and harsh, and Nangong Muyu sounded very unbelievable. Last time, Jiang Yi was not even allowed to see Big Sister Bell so he had a rather awful impression of the Nangong Clan.
The plan was made, but Jiang Yi still didn’t dare to let down his guard. He assembled the crowd to sit cross-legged in the main hall, ready to leave via Heaven Evasion anytime. He took a healing pellet at the same time. His inner organs were badly damaged by the collision, but luckily, no bones were broken, and his guts were not torn.
When Huangfu Taotian saw Jiang Yi healing, his eyes brightened; and he asked curiously, “Brother Jiang, did you comprehend any dao pattern in the last minute? I vaguely saw you releasing a kind of very strange divine skill which broke Lu Lin’s Sky-Devouring Wind Dragon. Then, you easily killed him with soul spirit attacks.”
“That’s right! Boss, you don’t know that I was almost scared to death at the last minute. You didn’t even strike back or run away in the face of Lu Lin’s attack!” Qian Wanguan patted his chest and still had a lingering fear. Even though Feng Luan and the others never witnessed the fight, they held back their breaths and looked nervous.
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi grinned and said, “Yes, I indeed realized a dao pattern in the last minute. I named it the Enraged Roar of Wind. It makes use of the wind to create a special kind of sound so that the soul spirit of the opponent will tremble, and the enemy’s reaction time will be much longer.”
“Wu-Wu, Ku-Ku…”
At the same time, Jiang Yi casually took a few strokes forward with his sword. Surges of hurricane instantly gathered to the front and blew in a special trajectory before an extremely horrible sound came off, like the wailing of ghosts. Qian Wanguan, Feng Luan, and Qing Yu all felt a boom in their heads which almost made them hold their heads and writhe on the ground in agony.
“This!”
Instantly, Huangfu Taotian’s eyes were wide open. Though his soul spirit was very strong and Jiang Yi didn’t put in all his strength, Huangfu Taotian still felt sick. He rolled his eyes and cried out, “Isn’t this the Ghost Noise in the mystic realm of Nangong Clan?”
“That’s right!” Jiang Yi nodded and said, “This is the dao pattern derived from the Ghost Noise in the mystic realm of Nangong Clan. It is the fusion of three kinds of low-tier wind elemental dao patterns.”
“No, this is not right—!”
Huangfu Taotian blinked in surprise and said, “This is not the wind elemental dao pattern. I know all the mid-tier wind elemental dao patterns very well, and there is nothing similar to yours. This voice is so distressing which is able to cause of soul spirit to quiver. Strictly speaking, it should be classified as a soul spirit attack and belong to the category of Divine Sound Heaven Skill.”
“Divine Sound Heaven Skill?”
Jiang Yi, Qian Wanguan, and Feng Luan looked at one another in confusion. This was their first time hearing such a thing. Qian Wanguan asked curiously, “Brother Taotian, what’s the Divine Sound Heaven Skill? It sounds very powerful.”
“Em, it is a very unique means of a soul spirit attack!”
Huangfu Taotian explained and said, “You should have heard of the Soul-Hooking Flute that made the Sword Thearch very famous. Back then, the Sword Thearch—with his flute—wiped out tens of thousands of Heaven Monarch Realm martial experts by a single Soul-Hooking Song. There seems to be a martial expert in the Zhan Clan who also knows the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. However, his weapon is a guqin 1. When his yellow springs song is played, all the peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm absolute experts will have to die, regardless of how many they are.”
“So awesome!”
Jiang Yi and his group’s eyes sparkled, and Qian Wanguan’s fat body even trembled with excitement. He grabbed Jiang Yi by his hand and said, “Boss, you should also get an instrument and practice the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. If you can deter others by just one song, how domineering will that be! What kind of instrument should you choose? Oh… how about xiao 1? People look really handsome when playing the xiao.”
“Get lost!”
Jiang Yi kicked Qian Wanguan and sent him flying. However, Feng Luan and Qing Yu beside them blushed. Jiang Yi didn’t know how to blow the xiao, but the two knew a great deal about blowing.
Huangfu Taotian smiled and said seriously, “Brother Jiang, you should study the Divine Sound Heaven Skill if you have the time. This is very mighty stuff and will be a great help in a group fight. If you can get the essence of it, I’m afraid that even a bunch of peak-stage Heaven Monarchs can’t get close to you.”
“En!”
Jiang Yi deeply agreed with him. He felt its power right now. It would be a deadly weapon when it was used with the soul swords. Once the opponent’s soul spirit was shocked and they were unable to concentrate all his energy in dealing with the soul swords, it was certain that they would die.
However, his Divine Sound Heaven Skill shouldn’t be considered to be very strong. Lu Lin was killed because of his weak soul spirit. It probably wouldn’t have much influence on those with strong soul spirit. He paused and said, “Brother Huangfu, how about helping me to test its strongest power so that we can know the level of martial artists that my Divine Sound Heaven Skill can affect? Shall we go to the Thearch Palace?”
“Alright!”
Huangfu Taotian nodded. Jiang Yi transported Yazi Beast and little fox from the Thearch Palace. Luckily, the courtyard was big enough. Otherwise, Yazi Beast’s giant body could never fit into the small space.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi sent Huangfu Taotian in before going inside. The Fire Dragon Sword shone, and he began to release the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. In the beginning, the volume wasn’t very loud. Huangfu Taotian smiled softly and said, “Use all your strength. My soul spirit is not bad.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi swayed the Fire Dragon Sword rapidly in his hand. The sound was getting louder and louder. Once it reached the maximum, Huangfu Taotian waved his hand and said, “Alright, you can stop now! Your Divine Sound Heaven Skill is pretty powerful. The soul spirit of an average mid-tier Heaven Monarch will definitely be shocked. Upper-tier Heaven Monarchs will also be affected, but the influence is a bit weaker. My soul spirit is as comparable to that of an upper-tier Heaven Monarch. I, too, felt some discomfort.”
