That night’s incident didn’t only create a huge sensation in the Gods Bestow Tribe, but the hidden spies in Sin Island had also sent messages back to the East Imperial Continent using secret transmission arrays. The entire continent was in an uproar, and Jiang Yi’s name had been propagated through the East Imperial Continent yet again.
The final statement from the Lei Clan Patriarch had also been sent back by the merchant spies to the continent as the shocking finger attack caused everyone’s soul spirit to be shaken. Time dao pattern was the most mysterious dao pattern, and in the history of the East Imperial Continent, there were only a few individuals that managed to comprehend it successfully. The Lei Clan Patriarch had comprehended a seven-star dao pattern, and when complemented by the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array, his overall combat strength would probably be evenly matched with old monsters from the Nine Thearchs Clans, perhaps even surpassing them.
If the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array and the alliance between Sin Island and the Endless Deep Sea stayed intact, the Nine Thearchs Clans naturally wouldn’t dare to attack Sin Island. Unless there was another heaven-defying expert who was on the same strength as the Mystic Thearch, as that expert would probably be able to destroy the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array in a single move.
Jiang Yi’s speed of increase in combat strength had also deeply affected the countless clansmen from the major and minor clans. Back then, he was just an ignorant youth who ventured out of Stellarsky Continent and was nearly eliminated by the Pegasus Race’s Heaven Monarch. In just a little more than two years, he actually had the strength to suppress Lei Qiyan who possessed two of the spirit-connected cardinal treasures.Read more chapter on vipnovel
Not only did he not suffer any consequences after he killed a young master from the Lu Clan, but he even grandiosely shifted into the Situ Courtyard. Most importantly… he was actually Master Yi Piaopiao and could be a genius Art Emperor.
In fact…!
When Jiang Yi announced his identity, he wanted to create a sensation as he wanted Yi Piaopiao to hear of his achievements, which would lead her to find a way to contact him. He also wanted to let Su Ruoxue know that he was working diligently and asked her not to give up while waiting for him to kill his way back to the East Imperial Continent.
In this short period of time, he didn’t have any way to return to the East Imperial Continent. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to find Yu Wen and Yi Piaopiao or to rescue Su Ruoxue. He had no choice but to act with high-profile—which might be dangerous, but he was willing to risk everything.
“Sigh…”
In the Zen Heart Pavilion of the Buddha Thearch City, Yi Chan was letting out a deep sigh as her beautiful eyes were filled with expression was regret. She long knew that Jiang Yi was a talent. She had encountered Jiang Yi twice in the Sea of Death beside the Stellarsky Continent while she saved his life in the Desolate East Sea once. There were many times when she had the thought of bringing Jiang Yi to the Buddha Thearch City. It was a pity as Jiang Yi’s body had been crippled by the refining the celestial stones while there was just too little Destitute Dragon Grass. Hence, she dropped that idea.
Never would she have expected for Jiang Yi to obtain rare treasures in the Mystic Divine Palace by himself. He then made use of the Destitute Dragon Grass to reform his body constitution, allowing him to soar to the sky and his strength to drastically soar like a rocket. Especially his terrifying Thunder Fire, Divine Sound Heaven Skill, and the Heaven Paintings—which all indicated Jiang Yi’s out of the ordinary and his unrestricted future.
One wrong move is followed by multiple wrong moves!
Since Jiang Yi had entered Sin Island, he would never be able to join the Nine Thearchs Clans and would be their enemies. Yi Chan was prideful in her core and looked down on all men in the world. Jiang Yi was considered to be the only man that she viewed in light. Right now… this man had turned into her enemy, and she felt that it was nature was truly trying to play with her.
“Jiang Yi? Yi Piaopiao is actually Jiang Yi?”
In Evil Thearch City, there was an enraged roar that echoed from a pavilion. She Fei wasn’t having a good time for the past few years, and as Jiang Yi’s reputation continued to climb, his name She Fei had become a byword for a loser, causing his status in the She Clan to plunge drastically. For the past two years, he didn’t even dare to take a single step out of his door; and apart from cultivating in seclusion, he would gather information about Jiang Yi and think of all ways to cleanse his humiliation.
Yi Piaopiao as Jiang Yi’s fake name wasn’t concealed, and Jiang Yi didn’t intend to conceal it either. Hence, the information spread quickly to all of Gods Bestow City and to the East Imperial Continent. She Fei was so depressed that he nearly vomited blood. Now that Jiang Yi was residing in Situ Courtyard, did he still have a chance to assassinate Jiang Yi?
“Men! Use all resources to find out all information about Jiang Yi and the people around him. As long as you have any information, report immediately!”
She Fei was prepared to endure and continue his seclusion. The obsession in his heart had allowed his cultivation speed to increase greatly during his seclusion. He had this indescribable belief that he would definitely have the chance to kill Jiang Yi. Perhaps… the two of them might meet each other again.
At the same time, Wu Ni, Jian Wuying, and Tu Long had also given their orders to pay close attention to Jiang Yi and the people by his side. Sin Island must not have an Art Emperor, and they must not allow Jiang Yi to live such a carefree life. As long as Jiang Yi was alive, they felt that they would never be able to lift their heads up and live proudly.
…
Jiang Yi had been living comfortably for the recent days. Whenever he had time, he would mingle around with Huangfu Taotian and Situ Yixiao, produce some paintings, or study on the divine art of the flute with Feng Luan and Qing Yu. After resting for a few days, the city had finally calmed. He went into seclusion to continue to increase his cultivation realm, thinking of ways to fuse the remaining two dao patterns, and studying the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno.
During this period of time, Qian Wanguan had been leaving early and returning late; he wouldn’t even return to Jiang Castle at times. He had been appointed as the person in charge of the Situ Clan connections with other merchant associations. He might not be able to take over the businesses in Gods Bestow City yet, but he was still regarded with importance. Situ Ao had allocated a peak-stage Heaven Monarch to protect Qian Wanguan at all times, and he would be escorted by the Situ Clan’s guards at all times, which guaranteed his safety.
Jiang Yi was a little vexed as Situ Yinian came over to the Jiang Castle frequently. The reason why he went into seclusion so quickly was that he wanted to avoid Situ Yinian.
This social interaction belle wanted to make use of her charms to conquer her and make Jiang Yi submit to her. Situ Ao was probably very willing for Jiang Yi to be his son-in-law as well. Jiang Yi chose to avoid her while getting Feng Luan and Qing Yu to vaguely hint her that Qian Wanguan liked her very much. He assumed that Situ Yinian who was so clever would be able to understand the intention within this plan.
Jiang Yi admired woman like Situ Yinian, but he would never fall in love with her. These women would never truly fall in love. They might seem tender-hearted at times, but it was just one of their methods. For a woman like Situ Yinian, she would only completely fall in love with one after this person used true capability to conquer her.
Hence, even without Qian Wanguan, Jiang Yi wouldn’t like Situ Yinian as he disliked political marriages and wouldn’t fall in love again. He had been thinking about how Su Ruoxue was suffering on the East Imperial Continent. How could he still have the heart to womanize when his heart was in such pain?
After Jiang Yi went into seclusion, Jiang Xiaonu followed suit. To Jiang Xiaonu, her world only had Jiang Yi; and since Jiang Yi was in seclusion and she had nothing else to do, the natural thing was for her to continue comprehending the Ink Feather Divine Art. She didn’t know what her strength would be like after reaching the peak of the second stage of the Ink Feather Divine Art. She didn’t know if there would be the third stage either. She simply wanted to increase her strength as much as possible so that Jiang Yi wouldn’t have to take on so much pressure.
When staying in Situ Courtyard, Jiang Yi didn’t have to worry about anything. Daily necessities, meals, and even the God’s Sob Elixirs were completely provided by the Situ Clan. Situ Ao even ordered someone to deliver a set of superior brush, ink stone, and some painting manuals for Jiang Yi to increase his painting skill.
Jiang Yi didn’t consume any God’s Sob Elixir as the God’s Sob was huge nourishment for him, allowing him to split off three more soul swords every day, and he even wished that there would be a God’s Sob every day.
As time flowed like water, three months passed by in the blink of the eye.
Jiang Yi’s fifth star sphere had already reached half the capacity, but it was a pity that his dao pattern didn’t make any progress, but his Heaven Extinguishing Inferno did make a small breakthrough.
On this day when Jiang Yi was cultivating, he was suddenly awakened by a transmitted message.
The one who transmitted the message was Huangfu Taotian, and the content of the message made Jiang Yi burst out with killing aura: “Brother Jiang, I am sorry, I messed up. I got someone to go fetch Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei, and they were riding the Green Bird Merchant Association’s fleet to the Gods Bestow Island. In the end… the Heaven Fate Ship got intercepted, and the ones that intercepted them was one of the top ten bandit legions of the Gods Bestow Sea. I reckon that this legion had been bribed by the spies of the East Imperial Nine Thearchs Clans!”
Swish!
Jiang Yi’s body flashed and appeared outside the Thearch Palace. He waved his hand with anger and yelled out, “Go, let go look for Situ Clan Head first!”
