Commander He’s resolution method was quite prudent. The fact that he could become the manager of Crazed God Castle showed that he was no idiot. He would not be easily misled by a couple of sentences from Jiang Yi.
The best solution was to lock Jiang Yi up. He would not offend either side by doing so. The Luo Clan and whoever was behind Jiang Yi could fight it out among themselves. As far as the Crazed God Castle was concerned, they would hand Jiang Yi over to whichever side won. However, if they allowed Jiang Yi to run away and the Luo Clan questioned them about it, the Crazed God Castle might not be able to shoulder the responsibility.
“Commander He!”
Jiang Yi was still not satisfied. He was prepared to fight one last time. In a low voice, he shouted, “You are still obviously leaning toward the Luo Clan by doing this. After all, I did not take action within Crazed God Castle. If you are smart, you would send me back to Demon-Killing Pavilion and not offend either side before sending the report back to the Luo Clan. As for what happens next, it would have nothing to do with your Crazed God Castle. I would not be able to run away in Demon-Killing Pavilion anyway. What’s more… even if I do run, it is Demon-Killing Pavilion’s problem to deal with. Do you understand?”
Jiang Yi still had a chance of survival if he went back to Demon-Killing Pavilion. After all, he was just carrying out a mission. If the Demon-Killing Pavilion could not handle the pressure from the Luo Clan and ended up handing Jiang Yi over to them, the disciples of the Demon-Killing Pavilion would naturally get the message. Who would still dare to take on missions on their behalf?
Yet, he was still talking off the top of his head. He wanted to mislead Commander He on purpose. It was a pity that Commander He was shrewd and sly himself. He was not going to be thrown off just because Jiang Yi said a couple of sentences. He smiled and replied in a cold tone, “Don’t worry. I will send the news back to your Demon-Killing Pavilion. Both sides can fight it out; I won’t care. If you had done this after leaving Crazed God Mountain, we would not have stepped in. However, anything that happens on the mountain and under our very noses must be handled by us. Otherwise, how will people continue to trust Crazed God Castle in the future? Xiao Qi, shut him up and lock him away.”
Commander He crushed Jiang Yi’s last shred of hope. The God General holding onto Jiang Yi tapped his neck with a flash of light. A force entered Jiang Yi’s throat, causing him to be unable to speak. The two God Generals then dragged him inside.
Swish!
At that moment, a Divine Boat cut through the air and landed on the peak in a blink of an eye. A huge gate opened, and a few valiant and upright women appeared outside the gates. Jiang Yi and many other people scanned the group of them. Their eyes lit up at once. Even Commander He, who was on his way in, put on a welcoming smile and walked back out again.
Among the ten or so women, one of them stood in the center and slightly in front of the others. Her hair was blue, and she looked quite young. Her figure and her face were both extremely beautiful. She dressed very sexily as well. She was wearing a red, smooth, and soft armor on top, which revealed a fair, slender waist. Her breasts were very full and perky as well. Below, she wore a red, leather miniskirt which showed off her fair, slender, and long legs. She also had red sandals on her feet. Her snow-white skin, her red attire, and her blue hair came together in a way that kept people captivated by her beauty.
What was most important was her aura. In one word, she could be described as distinguished!
This woman said nothing. As she floated in mid-air, her entire body exuded elegance. All the men present, including Jiang Yi, suddenly felt sorry for themselves. It was almost as if this woman was a goddess from above the Nine Heavens, and they were just a couple of village men. From afar, they could admire her attractiveness and beauty, and yet none of them dared to chase after her.
Luo Qingyan, Young Lady Luo, the only daughter of the City Lord of Divine Eagle City!
Jiang Yi had seen this woman before, but he only caught a glance of her from afar. He did not see her that clearly. Now, from this distance, he realized that she was so beautiful that she resembled a fairy. It was no wonder that Zhao Tiezhu said that he would pray for a hundred years to be able to play with her just for a moment. These hundred years were Higher-Domain years as well!
“Young Lady Luo!”
Commander He commanded a lot of respect, but in front of this Young Lady Luo, he was not worth a cent. He humbled himself and walked over to Young Lady Luo while bending over. The other God Generals saw this and bowed down as well.
“What happened here? I heard the commotion from afar. Eh? Someone died?”
Young Lady Luo had no expression on her face as she scanned the burned corpse. Uninterestedly, she asked, “Who was so brave as to kill just outside Crazed God Castle?”
From the beginning until the end, Young Lady Luo did not spare even a glance at Jiang Yi. She only stared at Commander He rather emotionlessly. The latter smiled and said, “It was a brat from Demon-Killing Pavilion. He had so much guts to kill Young Master Luo Huan of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. I am resolving this matter. Young Mistress, please enter. We don’t want to pollute your eyes.”
Young Lady Luo nodded gently and waved her hand, gesturing for the group of girls behind her to follow her into the castle. When she reached the castle gate, she turned around and looked at Jiang Yi. Her lips moved slightly as she sent a voice transmission to Commander He: “Commander He, if I were you… I would send this brat back to Demon-Killing Pavilion. Don’t get involved in anything after this. Things are not as simple as you think.”
“Uh?”
Commander He’s eyes widened. Young Lady Luo had already entered the castle. He gasped as his gaze became evasive. Suddenly, he waved his hand and said, “Someone, get ten people to send this brat back to Demon-Killing Pavilion. Tell the Luo Clan about this, too.”
“Uh…”
Jiang Yi did not expect Commander He to change his mind all of a sudden. He turned to look into the castle, questioningly. Commander He was a very decisive person. Someone like that would not change his mind easily. The fact that he changed his mind so suddenly showed that it had something to do with Young Lady Luo. Jiang Yi saw Young Lady Luo send a voice transmission earlier, too.
“Why is this Young Lady Luo helping me? She came at such an opportune moment as well. Could it be that she’s involved in this matter, too?”
Even if she was young, a young mistress from a great family clan would not act recklessly. She would not have interfered in other people’s business for no reason. What’s more, this issue involved the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. The cogs in Jiang Yi’s mind were turning. A bold thought dawned on him: could Young Lady Luo have been the one who had the orders? Young Lady Luo’s father was the City Lord. In other words, he was from Earth Emanations Pavilion. The other Luo Clan was from Battle God Pavilion.
If Young Lady Luo wanted to kill Luo Huan, she would not have done it herself. Otherwise, the two clans might get into conflict. Thus, she had to come up with this mission. This mission could not come from Earth Emanations Pavilion as well; neither could it come from Battle God Pavilion. This left Demon-Killing Pavilion.
Luo Huan was the young master of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan, but it was obvious he was not popular. Otherwise, he would not have brought the four Heaven Gods with him for protection. However, if one cast Luo Huan’s identity aside, this mission was not difficult at all. Yet, it was worth a thousand battle merits? Jiang Yi greatly suspected if this mission had anything to do with Young Lady Luo.
Nevertheless!
At least he had a chance of survival. Jiang Yi let out a huge sigh of relief as if a huge weight had been lifted off his chest. He would just have to keep an eye on the situation once he returned to Demon-Killing Pavilion.
One of the God Generals retrieved a Divine Boat. Eight men brought Jiang Yi onto the boat while the other two brought Luo Huan’s headless corpse on as well. The Divine Eagle City cut through the air and headed straight toward Divine Eagle City.
It was a five-thousand-kilometer journey. The Divine Boat was traveling so fast that they arrived at Divine Eagle City in just an hour. Five God Generals carried Luo Huan’s corpse towards Divine Eagle City while the Divine Boat landed in the city plaza of Divine Eagle Tribe, in front of Demon-Killing Pavilion.
“Descend!”
Five people brought Jiang Yi into the Demon-Killing Pavilion Castle. One of them cupped his hands to the guard outside and asked, “Is Commander Liu in? We are from Crazed God Castle. This man… just killed Young Master Luo Huan of Battle God Pavilion’s Luo Clan. We are here on our commander’s orders. We were told to send him back to Demon-Killing Pavilion.”
“Jiang Yi?”
At that moment, the leader of the guards outside the Demon-Killing Pavilion was Elder Bu. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “Thank you, everyone. This man is a disciple of Demon-Killing Pavilion. Please hand him over to us. Whatever happens from now on will have nothing to do with Crazed God Castle anymore.”
“Alright!”
Elder Bu’s words had the effect of saying that Demon-Killing Pavilion would take responsibility for everything that would happen from now on. The people from Crazed God Castle were happy to hand over the hot potato. One of the God Generals waved his hand and said in a cold voice, “Hand over the man.”
“Wait!”
At that moment, several figures shot down from the sky. An elder dressed in elegant, golden robes shouted from afar. “Do not hand that man over!”
