Sigh!
Jiang Yi had been using his Divine Perception to keep tabs on the situation. Although his Divine Perception was not as strong as his divine senses and that he could not hear what everyone was saying, he knew that Yin Ruobing had encountered some trouble and could find no way out.
Zhan Tianlei was a Demigod, with his soul spirit transformed into a god spirit. Jiang Yi did not dare to recklessly send any voice transmissions. If Zhan Tianlei managed to detect it, he would be exposed easily.
He turned and walked outside, reaching the scene soon. He pretended that he had walked by coincidentally and went by slowly. He exchanged glances with Yin Ruobing, and together with what he had sensed just now, he more or less understood what had happened.
His mind turned, and he smiled lightly. “Ahh, everyone is here. Why is everyone standing here? Lady Yin, Young Master Zhan, do you two want to come and drink tea with me?”
Jiang Yi’s words were very clear. He meant for Yin Ruobing to give up and that he would think of something himself. Yin Ruobing became slightly confused as she looked guiltily at Jiang Yi. She said, “Since Young Master Yi had invited, how could Ruobing dare to reject?”
“En?”
Zhan Tianlei looked suspiciously at Yin Ruobing and then at Jiang Yi, having a feeling that something was not right. The look Yin Ruobing had given Jiang Yi just now was too strange. Furthermore, she had only met this Yi San only two or three times, but she actually decided to go and drink tea with him?
Disguised as Yi San, Jiang Yi was previously a servant in the Tang Clan. Although he was very gifted in tonality and had become a disciple of Sonar Thearch, his status was still comparatively far lower than Yin Ruobing and Zhan Tianlei’s. For Yin Ruobing to entertain him was giving him so much face, and yet she even wanted to go and have tea with him?
Being able to cultivate till Demigod, Zhan Tianlei was naturally smart. He instinctively felt that the relationship between Yin Ruobing and Yi San was not ordinary. Perhaps… the unusual confrontation today between Yin Ruobing and Li Hong today could be related to Yi San as well. After all, the timing of Yi San’s appearance was too coincidental. Any ordinary person that managed to sense this situation would want to avoid it as well as they could; who would dare to come and get involved?
There is a problem with this Yi San!
Zhan Tianlei gave a cold look, but he did not say much as Yin Ruobing had already started walking towards him. On the other hand, Li Hong hurriedly brought his men and fled.
“I remembered! I still have some things to attend to. I will find you another time, Young Master Yi!”
After they walked to the exterior of Jiang Yi’s courtyard, Yin Ruobing finally came to her senses. If she entered and sat, it would make things more awkward; Zhan Tianlei might even be able to see that something was amiss. At that time, it would become a huge mess for Jiang Yi. She and Jiang Yi exchanged glances and understood each other silently. She turned and left.
“Young Master Yi, if you have time, do come to Battle Thearch City and visit.”
Zhan Tianlei remained calm, cupped his hands, followed Yin Ruobing, and left. Jiang Yi also didn’t have time to chat idly with Yin Ruobing and company. Now that the situation with Tang Xue and Tang Yan had gone wrong, he had to respond immediately. If not, the two lasses would be ruined by Li Hong.
He went back to his place, and his divine senses immediately sought out Tang Ming in the neighboring courtyard. Tang Ming had also been surveying the situation just now. He had wanted to find out more about the situation and then see what the best way to respond was.
Tang Ming had really been surveying the situation all the time. His voice transmission made Jiang Yi’s heart sink. The fact that Tang Xue and Tang Yan were from the Fairy Lady Race had shocked him. He thought silently for a while and then immediately sent a voice transmission: “Brother Tang, can you send men to keep an eye on Li Hong? I guess he will be bringing the two ladies back to Crippled Heaven Region immediately. Can you see if he is teleporting, or is he using a Heaven Fate Ship?”
“Brother, are you prepared to attack?”
Tang Ming sent a voice transmission over, his voice filled with worry. Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and replied: “The two ladies are from the Fairy Lady Race; this matters more to Old Fiend Li than even his life. Hence, even if it was the Chen Clan Head, Li Hong would not listen. Unless the Sonar Thearch appears, but I can’t ask him. I can only kill!”
As a matter of fact, Jiang Yi could ask for the Sonar Thearch’s help. However, he did not want to waste one of his favors on such a small matter. During the silent exchange he had with Yin Ruobing, her thoughts were clear: Jiang Yi could attack, but he should try not to kill Li Hong.
“Alright then!”
Tang Ming represented the Tang Clan and hence could not act recklessly. Jiang Yi thought about it and felt that it was best if Tang Ming only sent people to monitor Li Hong.
As expected by Jiang Yi, Li Hong was fearful that Yin Ruobing might cause trouble again and had sent someone to bid farewell to the Chen Clan. He immediately brought the two ladies out of the city. As he had brought quite a few men this time, he probably couldn’t bear to use so many celestial stones, and so they headed towards the south gate to board a Heaven Fate Ship to leave.
The Divine Sonar Region and the Crippled Heaven Region were very near to each other, while Li Hong also had a big-sized Heaven Fate Ship. It would only take him at most half a month to fly to the Crippled Heaven Region. Hence, it was not strange that he did not choose to use a Teleportation Formation to head back.
Once Jiang Yi received the information, he did not hesitate. He summoned a maidservant and asked her to inform the Chen Clan Head that he had some matters to attend to and would be heading out. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Tang Ming to tell him the same. Jiang Yi hurriedly left and headed straight for the east gate.
Li Hong was an old sex fiend and had been dreaming about the two ladies for long. Jiang Yi was afraid that once the group had boarded the Heaven Fate Ship and had ascertained their safety, Li Hong would immediately play with the two ladies. Hence, Jiang Yi had to rescue the two ladies as soon as possible and then leave immediately.
As he did not need to explain much to the Sonar Thearch, it was also easy for Jiang Yi to leave. Jiang Yi prepared to leave via the east gate, use his Divine Perception to scan, track Li Hong’s Heaven Fate Ship, and then use Heaven Evasion to appear in front of the ship and start killing.
…
“Yi San has left the city?”
What Jiang Yi was not aware was that when he was just about to leave the city, Zhan Tianlei had received the news. Zhan Tianlei had asked his men to keep an eye on Jiang Yi as he wanted to confirm his suspicion. Now that he knew the answer, he was not very happy.
“Yi San left from the east gate? Hehe, he wants to cover his tracks?”
Li Hong had just left, and Jiang Yi had immediately left the city. What did this signify? This meant that Jiang Yi was probably going to kill Li Hong and abduct the two ladies from the Fairy Lady Race. If that was true, then when Yin Ruobing wanted to take the two ladies by force just now, that was because Jiang Yi had enlisted her help.
Yin Ruobing was the girl that he loved the most and was also his betrothed. Any man that realized the woman he loves had a secret with another man would naturally not feel good. At that moment, the cup that Zhan Tianlei was holding suddenly disintegrated into smithereens. It also proved this point.
“Someone, come! Immediately follow Li Hong’s Heaven Fate Ship. If Yi San really heads to kill Li Hong, report back without delay.” Zhan Tianlei shouted. A shadow behind him flashed and rushed out of the courtyard.
Zhan Tianlei was so angry that he stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, “Yi San, you’d better not go to kill Li Hong. If not, I will definitely make you wish you were dead.”
The feeling of being cuckolded was not good, what more for a person such as Zhan Tianlei. Although Yin Ruobing was not at that stage—anyone who had anything funny going on with her, Zhan Tianlei was not going to let him live. Even if Jiang Yi was the Sonar Thearch’s disciple, he would still kill Jiang Yi without mercy.
“Have you gotten information on Yi San?”
Zhan Tianlei paced in the hall and looked towards the corner of the room. A black-robed martial artist came out from the shadows, cupped his hands, and said, “I have checked and there doesn’t seem to be anything amiss. He is indeed a warrior of the Tang Clan, and his clan has been serving the Tang Clan for generations.”
“That is strange. Why would Ruobing have anything to do with someone like him?”
Zhan Tianlei frowned and could not understand. He was also wondering if he was being too paranoid. Yin Ruobing wanting the two lasses had nothing to do with Yi San? It was just a coincidence?
Buzz!
One hour later, the command token that Zhan Tianlei was wearing lit up. He gave it a look and his expression suddenly changed.
His murderous aura was thick as he struck the table near him with much force. The table immediately was reduced to dust. He scanned and looked into the corner again. He yelled, “Send men to kill Yi San. If he is not dead, you guys have no need to come back either!”
The scouts following Li Hong had sent a message back: Jiang Yi had appeared and had already started killing Li Hong and company.
