831 Jiang Yi Making the Move
Sky Ascension Peak was indeed very lively. The entire summit of the mountain peak had been leveled by a single sword from Great Emperor Nangong. He had spent almost all of his later years in a thatched cottage on this mountain peak. Right now on the mountain peak, there were hundreds of bonfires that surrounded the cottage and illuminated the mountain peak as though it was daytime. Half the sky was nothing but red.
Plenty of places on the ground of the mountain peak were covered with red carpet, and plenty of tables were set around the bonfires. The tables were filled with delicacies and fine wine. The largest bonfire which was in the center had near 100 tables set around it, and female dancers performed a wonderful dance around the bonfire. They were accompanied by musicians playing a fine tune, gentle cool breeze, full moon and glittering stars, and intoxicating scenery.
Tonight, the mountain peak was seated full of handsome young masters and beautiful young ladies. All of them had turned up with splendid attire: the men looked impressive while the ladies looked charming. There wasn’t a need to get intoxicated by wine as one would already be intoxicated just by looking at them.
The mountain peak was surrounded by the Situ Clan’s guards as there were at least 500 Heaven Monarchs while the vicinity was constantly patrolled. In the thousand-mile radius, there were even hidden secret guards from the Situ Clan. Let alone bandits, not even a mosquito could approach the Sky Ascension Peak.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Luxurious war chariots constantly flew up, bringing more young masters and young ladies. For an occasion like tonight, the various clans would allow the younger generations to attend, especially those young ladies from the smaller clans who would be planning on what to wear and how their make-up would be since half a month ago. The young masters from the major clans were always the prey of such banquets, and it was the best opportunity to seek marriage. The ladies would definitely have to be pleasant to the eye before those young masters could propose for marriage, right?
Swish! Swish!
The servants of the Situ Clan would fly over in groups from time to time, bringing countless hot food. In the mountain peak, the hearty waves of laughter from the young masters and the charming giggles of the young ladies would rise and fall in succession while the servant girls would shuttle around. A single glance at the mountain peak was nothing but people, making it how very lively.
Swish!
A group of guards flew up while surrounding two bright and luxurious war chariots, causing countless people to stand up after sweeping a glance. This was Situ Clan’s war chariots, and Situ Yixiao and the rest of the young ladies and masters from the Situ Clan were here. The seniors of the various clans wouldn’t attend such banquets like this, and everyone was waiting for the lead: Qian Wanguan, Jiang Yi, and the others.
As expected!
Qian Wanguan was wearing a full red robe while the charming and radiating Situ Yinian also alighted from the war chariot. The whole crowd was flared up as many of the young ladies surrounded over with loving smiles and pulled Situ Yinian away. The young masters surrounded Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi at the back while flattering and bootlicking them.
Jiang Yi exchanged with casual conversations and swept a glance at the center bonfire and saw Princess Qianqian beside Situ Yixiao, along with Lei Qiyan and Big Sister Bell. His eyes turned cold while Lei Qiyan didn’t show any weakness and looked back at Jiang Yi. His mouth was arching up as though he was a victor.
“Boss, go over and take a seat!”
Qian Wanguan patted on Jiang Yi’s shoulder while the latter woke up and didn’t look at Lei Qiyan anymore. He, Huangfu Taotian, and a surrounding group of young masters walked and sat at the seat of honor on the right side.
Jiang Xiaonu was wearing an ordinary white dress today and had this indifferent expression as she ignored all eyes that were cast on her and had been following Jiang Yi. Many people were sighing that all great woman had already been taken by Jiang Yi.
Qian Wanguan sat on the host’s sea while Situ Yinian had been brought back. The two of them rose up to give a toast, and everyone had responded with respect. Even Lei Qiyan didn’t dare to find trouble and toasted back politely.
Immediately after, Qian Wanguan brought Situ Yinian and Situ Yixiao to go around the other bonfires and toasted drinks along the way. Fortunately, Qian Wanguan was a wine bucket. If it had been Jiang Yi, he would definitely be drunk as no one would use the essence force to expel the alcohol on such an occasion. Otherwise, they would just be a joke.
Jiang Yi lowered his head in silence while Jiang Xiaonu sat there silently and motionlessly, and Huangfu Taotian didn’t even touch the wine. The nearby young masters and ladies didn’t come looking for trouble with the trio as they raised their cups and toasted to others while still having a great atmosphere.
Lei Qiyan had been drinking for one hour and seemed to be a little drunk. He constantly looked over at Jiang Yi with provocative eyes.
A pity that Jiang Yi didn’t reciprocate as he continued to lower his head and drank the wine in silence, treating Lei Qiyan’s provocation as air. After Lei Qiyan found no results from the provocation, his eyes flickered as he started to toast drinks to Big Sister Bell. The latter wasn’t in a good mood, and after being forced to drink one cup, she no longer drank anymore.
Who knew…? It was unknown if Lei Qiyan had drunk too much or if he was intentionally trying to anger Jiang Yi, but he actually started to force toasts of drinks and even groped around, abandoning all restraints. Jiang Yi was burning with rage, but Qian Wanguan had not sent the signal, meaning that Big Sister Bell’s mother had yet to be rescued. Jiang Yi had no choice but to continue enduring.
“What are you doing? Lei Qiyan, you better be respectful!”
When Big Sister Bell saw one of Lei Qiyan’s hands was coming over to embrace her waist while the other hand was preparing to forcefully pour the wine, she was finally infuriated. She swung her hand and swept the wine cup away while she stood up with rage.
“Hehe!”
Lei Qiyan got angered instead and sneered. “What is a hussy like you pretending to be a saint lady for? Putting aside the fact that you seduced another man when you were still observing your widowhood, you even went to Sky Thunder City to hook up with a slave. Today, you are pretending to be pure and innocent?”
Lei Qiyan’s voice wasn’t too loud or soft, but everyone in the nearby bonfires could hear him. All those conversing and laughing young masters and ladies instantly fell silent and looked over. Princess Qianqian revealed a trace of disgust and lowered her head.
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with killing intent, but he didn’t look at Big Sister Bell. Instead, he looked at Qian Wanguan, who responded with a bitter smile as there was no message from the city.
“Could something have happened?”
Jiang Yi’s heart pounded for a moment as Big Sister Bell’s mother should have been rescued according to the plan. Why were there still no messages until now? Qian Wanguan also had a gloomy expression as he silently made a hand signal to a person by the side while that person left swiftly.
Swish!
As Big Sister Bell’s body was trembling from anger, she soared into the air and was about to leave. Who knew that when Lei Qiyan’s moved a little, he transmitted a message which caused Big Sister Bell’s delicate body to shiver? She actually flew back again and sat obediently beside Lei Qiyan. She had a pair of lifeless eyes as though she had admitted her fate.
Lei Qiyan poured another three more cups of wine and laughed proudly. “Haha, that’s more like it. You are already a hussy, and there is no need to act like a saint woman! Come, drink these three cups of wine for this Young Master!”
Bang!
Huangfu Taotian who was seated beside Jiang Yi couldn’t look on anymore as he smashed his fist on the table and spoke while glaring at Lei Qiyan with fuming eyes, “Lei Qiyan, what kind of man are you to make things difficult for a woman? What are you glaring at when you have thrown your Lei Clan’s face? If you are not convinced, then let’s go out and have one round? I can pinch you to death with a single hand!”
“You…”
Lei Qiyan’s expression turned extremely gloomy, but he believed that he wasn’t a match for Huangfu Taotian. Thus, he merely sneered and said, “Huangfu Taotian, I am disciplining my woman. What does it have to do with you? You are just an unfilial son banished by the Huangfu Clan. What makes you think you are qualified to teach me a lesson?”
“I am simply in a bad mood when I look at you, and I want to teach you a lesson on behalf of Tiger Lei. What about it?” Huangfu Taotian had a fiery temperament, and when he heard this statement, the Thunder Rush Saber appeared in his hand while essence force was revolving around it. He was about to make a move.
Lei Qiyan’s body got a chill when Huangfu Taotian’s killing aura locked onto him. He quickly stood up while the two peak-stage Heaven Monarch secret guards appeared behind him. A black shadow also appeared behind Huangfu Taotian, and it was obviously the secret guard, Shadow.
“Two esteemed guests, today is Wanguan and Yinian’s joyous day. Can you give a face to Yixiao and Wanguan?” Situ Yixiao quickly spoke and mediated when he saw that the situation was going out of control.
Who would have thought—?!
At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly flew mid-air while his hand flipped over as the Fire Dragon Sword appeared at the same time when the Divine Sound Heaven Skill was released. Dozens of soul swords flashed out from his glabella while the Fire Dragon Pearl poured out with Thunder Fire. Horrific heat wave engulfed the entire mountain peak, and countless young masters and young ladies thought they were going to die at this moment.
Swish!
At almost the same time, the back of Jiang Xiaonu’s dress burst open as two feathered wings appeared while her black hair turned green. All ten of her fingers were radiating with a green light while she turned into a green shadow. Before everyone could react, she flashed in front of Lei Qiyan; and her jade hands clenched onto his neck with ease. She lifted him up while the other hand pierced into his chest, and a simple exertion of force would be enough to crush Lei Qiyan’s heart.
The whole crowd was in an uproar!
