Since Jiang Yunhai and the others had appeared—even if these three ancient clans were not the masterminds, they had at least a connection to whoever the masterminds were!
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s family and friends were being tied in the city plaza. It was obvious that the masterminds had laid out an ambush and was just waiting for Jiang Yi to step into it. Stupa City was a trap, one that Jiang Yi had no choice but to step into.
Since he was going to go, there was no need to implicate others!
Jiang Yi used the Mystic Divine Palace’s Heaven Evasion once and went to a nearby big city of the Yi Clan. He then looked at the helpless and panicked Yi Chan, saying, “Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing is currently in seclusion; I will quietly teleport her out. Please do not wake her up. Also, I have some brothers and friends that I will teleport out as well; some are from Sin Island also! I hope that you will not make things difficult for them.
“If the situation becomes worse, you can send them back to Sin Island while you can follow Fifth Eldress back to Snow Region! You can bring all your clansmen to the Snow Region; the Saint Empress will accept all of you on my account. Beside that… please do not tell them about Stupa City. If they start to behave rashly, please try to restrain them. I will leave everything in your hands!”
As the situation was escalating quickly, Jiang Yi did not have time to make proper arrangements and did not have the time to send Situ Yixiao and the others back to Sin Island. He also believed that Yi Chan would not make things difficult for them.
“This…”
Yi Chan’s eyes were filled with anxiety and fear; she naturally did not want Jiang Yi to risk his life, to court his own death! However, she understood Jiang Yi too well; at this point, no one would be able to dissuade him. Not her and not even Yin Ruobing.
“Jiang Yi, please do not be reckless. There will definitely be a way.”
Yi Chan could only gently plead as she held onto Jiang Yi, saying, “Jiang Yi, if something were to happen to you, everyone would really be finished. You are the successor to the Mystic Thearch; if you cannot save us all—even if we fled to the Snow Region or to the ends of the earth, we will ultimately still perish.”
“Hehe.”
Jiang Yi smiled faintly as he said, “Since you have said I am the successor to the Mystic Thearch and with the Mystic Thearch being able to predict the future accurately, how could I possibly die? Trust me, I am just like a cat with nine lives; so many things have happened over so many years, and yet I have not died.
“This time would not be an exception either. Even if you do not trust me, you should trust the Mystic Thearch. Furthermore, who can break through the Mystic Divine Palace? Yi Chan, you have always been an independent woman. At this time, you have to be even steadier; tens of thousands of Yi Clan folks are depending on you. You have to pull yourself together and wait for my return!”
Li Feiyu and the others were all at the side. Fifth Eldress’ face was also very grave. However, none of them had any other ideas. They could only wait in silence for Yi Chan to make her decision.
“Alright then!”
Yi Chan took a deep breath and suddenly sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Jiang Yi, I will see to everything that you have asked me to do. You have to come back safely. As long as you can come back, I… I can consider marrying you.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi smiled brightly. Before a major battle, what can make one more excited than hearing a beautiful lady’s confession? He looked at Yi Chan deeply and said, “Little Chan’er, you should put on your make-up and wait for me to come back in glory and marry you.”
Swish!
The Mystic Divine Palace touched down inside the city and landed on an empty piece of land inside the City Lord Manor. Jiang Yi City first teleported Yi Chan and company out and then sent Yin Ruobing out also. Yi Chan immediately took out her own spatial divine item and placed Yin Ruobing inside it; she did not want to disturb Yin Ruobing’s seclusion.
Buzz!
Following that, Qian Wanguan, Zhan Wushuang, and everyone in the Moon Mirror Lake was teleported out. Finally, the Jiang Clan, the Qian Clan, the Zhan Clan, Shui Qianrou, and the others in the Evil Spirit Ridge were also sent out. Jiang Yi’s voice rang out as he said, “Everyone, listen. You all have to listen to Lady Yi Chan’s orders. Fifth Eldress, if anyone disobeys, you can tie them up. Ruoxue, Mo Yao’er, Wanguan, Wushuang, you all are to behave and wait for me to come back. If you guys cause trouble, you will no longer be my brothers or my women.”
Buzz!
After speaking, the Mystic Divine Palace shook and immediately vanished in the mid-air using Heaven Evasion, and left. There was an instant uproar on the ground. If something big had not happened, Jiang Yi would not suddenly leave them behind.
“Boss, you cannot abandon us like this!”
Jiang Yi, wait!”
“Jiang Yi…”
Qian Wanguan, Zhan Wushuang, Mo Yao’er all flew up into the sky swiftly. Yi Chan immediately shouted, “Senior Feiyu, Fifth Elderess, if anyone dares to make a reckless move, tie that person up. Everyone, listen; Jiang Yi has to go and do something. Before he returns, no one is to make any sudden moves. If not, I will have to forcibly control all of you.”
“Mistress Yao’er, be good and come back! Are you not even going to listen to Jiang Yi’s words?”
Fifth Eldress recognized Mo Yao’er and immediately flew up to persuade her. Li Feiyu and company flew towards Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang to block them. Zhan Wushuang was still considerably calm and did not cause trouble. He exchanged glances with Qian Wanguan. Seeing that the Mystic Divine Palace had already disappeared, the two flew back down to the ground. Zhan Wushuang’s eyes looked towards Yi Chan and asked, “Lady Yi, what has Jiang Yi gone to do? Please tell me.”
Yi Chan had heard of Zhan Wushuang before and knew what had happened in Battle Thearch City. Her eyes shifted as she sent a voice transmission: “Young Master Wushuang, please help to stabilize the situation here first. I will slowly explain this matter to you after.”
“Alright!”
Zhan Wushuang nodded as he and Qian Wanguan, Situ Yixiao, Huangfu Taotian, and the others discussed matters together. Situ Yixiao then took out a spatial divine item and sent Shui Qianrou, the Jiang Clan, Zhan Clan, Qian Clan disciples together with the thousand Heaven Monarchs from Sin Island inside. If all of these people were outside, it was easy for the situation to lose control.
The remaining people entered the City Lord Manor. Yi Chan waited for everyone to be seated before softly saying, “We had all promised Jiang Yi not to go into specifics. Hence, I can only tell you guys that Jiang Yi has gone to do something very important! He did not want to implicate everyone and so had teleported everyone out of the Mystic Thearch Palace. He said that if anything was to happen to him, all of you are to either head to Sin Island or the Snow Region. Also, all of you are not to act recklessly in the time being.”
“What?”
Qian Wanguan suddenly became slightly rash again as he shouted out, “Boss is always like this. Once there is danger, he will go and face it alone. This cannot do! We cannot stand by idle. Lady Yi Chan, where has Boss gone to? Let’s quickly go and help him. If we are to die, we will die together!”
“Wanguan!”
Zhan Wushuang’s eyes revealed a pained expression as he shouted and said, “If it is dangerous even to Jiang Yi, what can we do even if we went? Calm down. We are not just two people; the Zhan Clan, the Qian Clan, the Jiang Clan, Ruoxue, and so many other people are all here. Do you want all of them to die also? Since Jiang Yi had made such a decision, we can only respect his decision and help him to protect Ruoxue, the Jiang Clan, and the people from the Stellarsky Continent. That is what we should be doing now.”
“Let’s return to the Gods Bestow Tribe!”
Zhan Wushuang made a decision swiftly and resolutely, saying, “We will bring everyone and head back to the God Bestow City to settle them down first and then make further plans!”
The Jiang Clan, the Qian Clan, the Zhan Clan, together with the Yun Clan and Su Clan amounted to a few thousand people. There were also Su Ruoxue, Mo Yao’er, and others. Just relying on Zhan Wushuang, Yi Chan and company, it would be impossible to protect so many people. Once they ended up in the hands of the enemy, there would be a lot of trouble. At this time, the East Imperial Continent was in chaos; nowhere was safe. Hence, heading back to Sin Island was the best solution.
“Sin Island? No way!”
Yi Chan shook her head and said, “Sin Island is tens of thousands of kilometers away from here. If the enemy was to find out, they would definitely kill all of you on the way. Listen to me, all are to head to Buddha Mountain. There is a Thousand Buddha Formation in the Buddha Mountain; even if a nine-star formidable martial artist came to attack, the formation would hold for three months. We should head back to Buddha Mountain first and wait for news from Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had asked all of you to listen to me; this matter has been decided.”
After hearing Yi Chan’s words, everyone thought about it and realized that they could only head to Buddha Mountain first. If Jiang Yi could return unscathed, then everything would be resolved. However, if he couldn’t make it back, it would not be too late to head to Sin Island or Snow Region then.
