Although they had so many questions, Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue didn’t dare to ask anymore; they decided to wait until they met Jiang Yi first.
After flying for tens of hours, the two finally met up with Yi Chan. Yi Chan had been steadier than the duo; once she had flown up, she had not panicked but immediately reported Jiang Yi’s name. Hence, no one had dared to tease her; and they immediately transported her to the closest city. After that, having received a message from their superiors, the men there had flown their Divine Boat to link up with the one containing Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue.
After the trio was reunited, they all breathed easy as they felt more reassured. They waited to be brought to where Jiang Yi was staying at and for a message to be sent to Jiang Yi regarding their arrival.
Swish! Swish!
A few hours later, countless Divine Boats appeared together with tens of thousands of soldiers. All the formidable martial artists in one of the cities nearby had appeared. When Poison Spirit had heard the news, he immediately ordered all the formidable martial artists in a nearby city to head towards the three ladies to escort them. Although there weren’t powerful Chaos Beasts in the Earth Emanations Sea and the ladies would be safe within their Divine Boat, these three were Jiang Yi’s wives; how could Poison Spirit dare to be careless?
“This fruit is very tasty; Sister Ruoxue, do you want to eat one?”
“This Divine Boat is extremely magical; we can actually see the exterior.”
“Hehe, Sister Chan, these soldiers are so powerful. Our husband is so awesome; he actually has so many powerful subordinates.”
Within the front cabin of the Divine Boat, Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, and Yi Chan sat comfortably. The Divine Boat was transparent, and the three could easily make out the countless Divine Boats surrounding theirs. The junior captain and small City Lord had not dared to disturb the three of them; they were waiting in another cabin to the rear. As Yin Ruobing was more bubbly and active, she sat down for a while and couldn’t sit still anymore as she stood up to look about and exclaimed softly occasionally.
Su Ruoxue’s character was slightly colder, and she only occasionally replied. Yi Chan was steadier and more composed; she was the leader of the three. Her mouth twitched as she smiled lightly and replied, “We used to have a saying in the Stellarsky Domain: one must live with the Mystic Thearch as his example. Now, I think that saying should be changed to Jiang Thearch already.”
“Hehe!”
Yin Ruobing stuck out her tongue playfully. Although so much time had passed, the trio’s appearances had not changed much. They had all reached a very high level of attainment from a young age while their life expectancy was extremely long. Combined with all sorts of spirit herbs that they were consuming as nourishment, it would be strange if they actually looked old.
Come to think of it, Jiang Yi had ascended to the Higher Domain quite a long time ago—at least a dozen-odd years in Lower-Domain time. Jiang Yi should already be more than forty years old. Of course, according to the Higher Domain’s way of calculation, Jiang Yi was still a youth while Yi Chan and the other two ladies were only considered young girls.
The three continued to eat all types of spirit fruits as they continued chatting and thinking about meeting Jiang Yi again. Time passed rather quickly. After tens of Lower-Domain days, the Divine Boat finally reached a small city nearby.
“Uh—”
The three stood at the stern as they looked at the huge and imposing city in front of them; in front of the city, hordes of formidable martial artists stood there. The three could sense the powerful auras emanating from these formidable martial artists as their faces revealed their astonishment.
The trio knew that Jiang Yi had made it big; they did not expect he would have so many formidable martial artists as subordinates. At least a million formidable martial artists were standing in front of that small city now.
“My three madams; the two Assistant Prefecture Lords have brought men to welcome you!”
The small City Lord entered and informed them respectfully. Yi Chan’s face recovered first as she nodded brazenly and said, “Let’s go then.”
Su Ruoxue and Yin Ruobing followed Yi Chan’s lead as they headed outside. As the three had just broken through, they weren’t strong enough to fly. After leaving the cabin, they could only take careful steps as they floated downwards.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A million formidable martial artists looked attentively at the three ladies. Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue looked a little unsettled. Only Yi Chan held her ground and composure as she stood in front of all of them brazenly.
Plop!
A sound rang out in unison as the ground nearby shook gently. Poison Spirit and Xiao Hong had brought all the City Lords and important men in the prefecture here, and they all had genuflected at once. They shouted, “Greetings to the three madams!”
A million men, a million formidable martial artists; every one of importance in Jiang Yi Prefecture had come. So many men shouting in unison shook the heavens and earth. Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue shook slightly. However, Yi Chan did not seem affected as she said expressionlessly, “All are to rise.”
There was dead silence. No one rose; Poison Spirit had not gotten up yet. Xiao Hong saw that Poison Spirit had not risen, and he maintained his position as well. Since everyone else saw that the duo had not moved, no one dared to get up.
Poison Spirit’s head was bowed deeply; his eyes were full of bitterness and agony. While Jiang Yi’s three wives had ascended, Jiang Yi had actually died. Poison Spirit did not even know how to explain to the three of them; he didn’t even dare to look at them.
However, Poison Spirit swiftly regained his composure as he put on his poker face. He rose and said, “Can I invite the three madams into the city to rest first; we will slowly teleport you three back to the Jiang Manor.”
“Black Deity pays his respects to Young Mistress Yi, Young Mistress Yin, and Young Mistress Su!”
After Poison Spirit and the rest rose, a black shadow flashed forward and bowed. Yi Chan and the other two’s eyes instantly lit up. Although Black Deity was a Demon Sovereign, he was one of them after all. Since they couldn’t meet Jiang Yi now, being able to see the Black Deity also brought about a certain level of familiarity and affection; the three of them grew even more relaxed.
“Black Deity, let’s talk within the city.”
With so many people present, Yi Chan did not say much. She only gestured gracefully as she brought Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue along as Poison Spirit and the rest of the men present escorted them into the city and into a luxurious castle within the City Lord Manor.
Poison Spirit personally stood guard near this castle. Besides Xiao Hong and some important personalities, no one was allowed to disturb the three of them. Everything within the castle was of the highest quality and most luxurious; the food was also the best. Black Deity accompanied the trio as he explained to them what had happened after Jiang Yi had ascended as well as some basic facts of the Earth Domain.
After narrating for many hours, the three finally understood that Jiang Yi’s journey had been very tough; they also found out about Jiang Xiaonu and Yi Piaopiao. After listening, Yi Chan asked, “Black Deity, has our arrival been relayed to Jiang Yi?”
“I am not sure about this!”
Although Black Deity had been brought here by Jiang Yi, his level of attainment was too low and hadn’t been able to follow Jiang Yi along on his journeys. The Black Deity thought for a while as he said, “You would have to ask Lords Poison Spirit and Xiao Hong regarding this.”
“In that case, call them in, please.”
Yi Chan was very firm and steady. Although she was facing a bunch of formidable martial artists that were many times more powerful than her, she was not shaken the least. She was very confident; she was Jiang Yi’s woman, and these men were Jiang Yi’s subordinates.
Poison Spirit and Xiao Hong entered after a while. Yi Chan asked, “Poison Spirit, Xiao Hong, has our arrival been relayed to the Prefecture Lord?”
“This…”
Mo Lingqiu had sealed off any news about Jiang Yi and hence Xiao Hong knew nothing about what had happened. Xiao Hong also did not have any power left. After Poison Spirit had returned, he had dominated all the power within the prefecture. Xiao Hong naturally could not send a message to Jiang Yi; he looked to the Poison Spirit after hearing this question.
Poison Spirit was expressionless; however, his eyes grew dark. Send a message? How was he supposed to do that? Jiang Yi was already dead; who was he supposed to send a message to?
After thinking for a while, Poison Spirit could only reply, “Rest assured, madams. I have already made arrangements for a message to be sent to Young Lord. However, Young Lord is now within the Demon-Buster Army; the Demon-Buster Army’s rules are very strict. Young Lord probably would not be able to return within a short while.”
“A short while?”
Yi Chan’s brows rose as she asked coldly, “How short is short? Give a clearer timeline!”
Poison Spirit thought about it, gritted his teeth as he said, “At least three years… at most five years.”
“Three years?”
Yi Chan and company’s faces changed. Black Deity had explained to them that three Higher-Domain years was equivalent to three hundred Lower-Domain years. The three of them had finally managed to ascend; they now had to wait three hundred years before they could see Jiang Yi?
Yi Chan’s eyes flashed coldly as she said resolutely. “No, that would not do. Poison Spirit, you have to find a way to teleport us to the Demon-Buster Army camp immediately. We want to go and find the Prefecture Lord!”
