After the information was reported back to Sky Thunder City, the entire city was in an uproar. Even the two experts of the Lu Clan had received this information.
However, the Lu Clan’s experts merely took a glance and didn’t bother about it. The Lu Clan had their clan rules; and as long as there wasn’t any chaos, they wouldn’t go meddle with such affairs. Even if all the ten chiefs of the city were killed or half the slaves had been killed, they wouldn’t bother either.
These great clans were able to survive for hundreds of thousands of years for a reason. There were many principled things that they wouldn’t go violate. Just like the fact that Commander Lu Di had taken fancy of Feng Luan and Jiang Xiaonu, but he would only secretly give a hint and think of other ways to obtain it without violating their clan rules. It was impossible for them to violate the clan rules, or they would face death. Their immediate family members would also die without burial grounds.
If the great clans wanted to continue prospering for eternity, they would have to remain impartial so that the martial artists under their rule would serve them convincingly and would dare to form an alliance to topple their rule. Otherwise, if there was chaos and if an expert was to make a public appeal, the millions of martial artists on Sin Island would stage an insurrection which might extinguish the 13 Clans.
Many chiefs were tumultuous. They could disregard the grudges that Jiang Yi had with Ba Dao and Chief Long, but Jiang Yi had gone over the boundary. Those thunder stones on the thunder mountains belonged to them, and every day, those 50 Heaven Monarchs would offer half of it to the chiefs after they collected it.
Right now, Jiang Yi was simply snatching food from the tiger’s jaws. If Jiang Yi didn’t affect their profits, they wouldn’t bother; but once he did, they would have to get involved. Otherwise, everyone would go hungry; and their men would lose confidence in their chief’s prowess.
Immediately, four of the chiefs sent out a notice and swore to kill Jiang Yi while the other four chiefs strangely remained silent. Among those four, the top three chiefs were included!
Ba Dao hooted the most aggressively as he contacted the other chiefs and made a discussion. They all ventured out of the city with groups of experts as they rushed towards the thunder mountains with surging aura presences.
Six chiefs and almost a hundred Heaven Monarchs arrived at the thunder mountains which frightened all the nearby martial artists. Many of them fearfully knelt down while the six chiefs ignored them and flew straight for the thunder ridge behind the ten thunder mountains.
Clang!
Once they left, the thunder mountains were in a huge commotion. Many of the people were in heated debates, and there were bets that bet on how long Jiang Yi could persevere before getting killed.
However—!
Half a day later, the six chiefs returned with gloomy expressions while the Heaven Monarchs at the back looked even more awful. The six chiefs flew back to Sky Thunder City silently, leaving behind the near hundred Heaven Monarchs to scatter out and guard the thunder mountains.
“They failed in their pursuit?”
This possible result appeared in everyone’s mind. If they were able to kill Jiang Yi, would the six chiefs be so gloomy? All these Heaven Monarchs couldn’t possibly remain in this place either.
“That kid must have gone to the deepest part of the thunder ridge. The six chiefs might be formidable, but they cannot resist for such a long time!”
“Ss, ss… that kid is so formidable? Isn’t he afraid of Thunder Fire?”
“Dumbass! If he is afraid of Thunder Fire, would he be able to stay outside for two nights?”
“He must have a treasure. Tsk-tsk, a treasure that gives immunity to heat? What kind of treasure would it exactly be?”
“That kid is going to be rich. He could come and collect the thunder stones here every morning. A few months later, it would mean hundreds of thousands of thunder stones!”
“That is just a dream. He has to ultimately hand over the thunder stones in the city, right? I remember they have nine individuals, and if they don’t hand over the thunder stones, the enforcement team in the city will definitely go chase him down. The enforcement team also has fire immunity treasures, and they will be able to eliminate him with ease!”
“That’s right. If he dares to return to the city, he would definitely be killed. All the thunder stones that he collected would be collected on behalf of the chiefs…”
Over ten thousand people were in debates, like over ten thousand ducks which were quacking non-stop. There were those who were jealous, envious, filled with hatred; and those who were cursing viciously.
It was undeniable that Jiang Yi was even more famous now. During recent years, Jiang Yi was the only person that could make six chiefs return in low spirits from failure. They would just like to see how much longer he could persist.
After a day of noise, everyone had to return during nightfall. Putting these people aside, not even the six chiefs would dare to stay in this place during nighttime as the temperature was way too hot. Most importantly, there were way too many Thunder Fire. What if a few bundles of Thunder Fire happened to surround in all directions? When that happens, one could only wait for death.
Hiding in the sky or under the ground?
Much apologies, the Sky Thunder Island had a Thunder Gathering Array. It was impossible to dig underground, and if one flew too high, they would be struck by thunderbolts.
When it was nighttime, the surrounding gradually became silent. One hour later, a fiery red figure wandered out from within the thunder ridge. Jiang Yi had returned to the nearby vicinity of the thunder mountains.
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi checked the surrounding, and after making sure that there was no one around, he then looked for a place without any Thunder Fire to take a seat. He took out the Thearch Palace and scanned inside with his divine senses. He had a conversation with them and told them that it was currently very safe, but they couldn’t come out for the moment. He then asked them to stay in the Thearch Palace with ease.
During the day, he had to enter the thunder ridge to avoid being pursued while there were Thunder Fire everywhere during the night. With the abnormally high temperatures, everyone would certainly be unable to withstand the heat if they came out. He had no choice but to stay in the wilderness alone.
He sat on a rock and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state to continue sensing the dao pattern presence. After trying to comprehend for two nights, he still didn’t discover anything. This dao pattern was too mystical. If one could comprehend, they would be able to do it quickly; if it couldn’t be comprehended, then a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to comprehend it. It was useless to be in a rush.
Since Jiang Yi was able to capture a trace of the dao presence, it had proven that he had the opportunity to comprehend the dao pattern. Thus, he wasn’t in a hurry either. If he couldn’t comprehend it in one day, he would take ten days or even a hundred days!
Right now, he didn’t have to go dig for thunder stones in the thunder ridge anymore as well. He would be able to obtain around 700 to 800 thunder stones every morning. If this carried on, he would have over 20,000 thunder stones in a month and over 100,000 thunder stones in five months. He would have enough for them to stay in Sky Thunder City peacefully for a long time.
What he had to do right now was to raise his strength.
Otherwise, five months later, he would be unable to enter the city to hand over the thunder stones; and he would be killed without mercy. After he handed over all the thunder stones he had previously, he was only required to hand over the rest of the thunder stones, five months later.
The night passed in a blink of the eye!
Jiang Yi opened his eyes with disappointment as he still didn’t have any result. The sky was already bright, and the Thunder Fire had withdrawn into the thunder mountains. There were more than 1000 thunder stones on the ground, and the experts from the Sky Thunder City were probably rushing over.
Swish!
He sprinted over to the thunder mountains and collected the thunder stones along the way. Halfway through his collection, several figures flew over as expected. He didn’t hesitate at all and rushed into the thunder ridge like a blast of wind. By the time the experts arrived at the vicinity of the thunder mountains, he had already vanished into the thunder ridge.
“Damn it!”
Countless people cursed out loudly, but if even the six chiefs were helpless, what could they do? They had no choice but to wait for the six chiefs to think of a method or for the rest of the four chiefs to get involved.
Among the four chiefs that weren’t involved, there were three chiefs that were the strongest in strength. Like Hu San’s Boss, Chief Li was ranked third in the city. There was also the second-ranked, Leng Aotian—Chief Leng, and the no.1—Big Sister Bell.
Especially Big Sister Bell who wasn’t even 30 years of age yet, but her strength was enough to dominate everyone. She might only be at the sixth stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm, but her combat strength was comparable to a Heaven Monarch of the higher stages. She could wipe out the other nine chiefs by herself, and even the ordinary soldiers of the Lu Clan were very respectful towards her.
Big Sister Bell wasn’t her name, and no one in the city knew her name. They called her Big Sister Bell because her neck had a string of pink little bells. Those bells were a cardinal treasure which could release soul spirit attack. It might be a transcending saint artifact, but Big Sister Bell possessed a horrific soul spirit attack which complemented it, increasing her combat strength to extremely horrific levels!
Three years ago, when Big Sister Bell came to the Sky Thunder Island by herself, one of the chiefs stated that he was going to take her in as his female slave. As a result, Big Sister Bell directly invited the chief for a battle outside the city. She single-handedly eliminated the chief and twenty Heaven Monarch subordinates, instantly taking over as the new chief. Afterward, there was another chief that wasn’t convinced and was similarly eliminated by her in a single move.
“Little Sister Xiao Hong, go report to Big Sister Bell. Just say that the six of us are asking for a meeting!”
In the eastern part of the city, outside an elegant courtyard, Ba Dao, Chief Long, and the others were standing outside the courtyard with smiling faces while speaking to a beautiful servant girl with respect.
The servant girl’s strength wasn’t formidable and was only at the third stage of the Vajra Realm, but she was very arrogant towards the six chiefs. She turned her voluptuous butt and spoke in a cold voice, “All of you, wait here. I will go and inform Young Lady.”
The six of them didn’t even dare to let out a fart and waited outside obediently… because they were here to ask Big Sister Bell for a favor. She was the only that could kill Jiang Yi and cleanse their humiliation.
