Complete silence!
When Jiang Yi’s name first resounded in Gods Bestow Tribe, he was being pursued by four great clans. Although many people were skeptical about this spy incident—with every evidence stated and after the three clans stating their stand on eliminating Jiang Yi at all cost, everyone chose to remain silent. Even the Situ Clan Patriarch had ordered for the Situ Clan to not get involved.
It was needless to say that Ao Lu possessed a mind-reading technique, and there wasn’t a need to suspect that the Endless Deep Sea was on the opposing side of the East Imperial Continent. Back when the demon race was all banished from the East Imperial Continent by the Mystic Thearch and the East Imperial Nine Thearchs Clans, how many great demons were slaughtered? The Endless Deep Sea—which was the main camp of the demon race—would never be on friendly terms with the East Imperial Continent.
Most importantly, someone of Ao Lu’s status wouldn’t lie; and there was nothing worthy enough for him to lie. Just as he mentioned—if he wanted to protect Jiang Yi, would the Gods Bestow Tribe truly dare to break off the alliance with Endless Deep Sea? Without the alliance with the Endless Deep Sea, the Gods Bestow Tribe would be eradicated; and it was just a matter of time.
Hence, Jiang Yi wasn’t a spy, and Qian Wanguan wasn’t a spy as well!
Since they weren’t spies, then the evidence must be fake while the three clans had some other reasons for wanting to deal with Jiang Yi. Numerous eyes were flickering as they were in silent considerations. Their attitude, which was originally supporting the three clans, was now changed into resentment.
If the three clans weren’t trying to deal with Jiang Yi, Ao Lu wouldn’t have appeared today; and the Gods Bestow Tribe wouldn’t have been suppressed by Ao Lu. Neither would they have to suffer from humiliation. It was truly an embarrassing matter for the human race to be suppressed by the demon race.
Ao Lu waited for the moment, and when he saw that Lei Banxian, Lei Gu, and the others had nothing to say, he sneered and said, “Do your three clans have anything else to say?”
Lei Gu’s expression was extremely gloomy as he didn’t dare to speak, let alone the Nangong Clan and the Lu Clan. Lei Banxian simply sighed lightly and cupped his hands while responding, “Lord Ao Lu. It seems like this incident is truly a misunderstanding. Since Jiang Yi is not a spy, our three clans will naturally not be dealing with him anymore. Jiang Yi may traverse the Gods Bestow Tribe as he pleases, and I guarantee that no one will dare to harm him again.”
Lei Banxian had lowered his head. Ao Lu was extremely unyielding, and he had no choice but to lower his head. Otherwise, if they were to fall out and if Ao Lu truly stopped the alliance with the Gods Bestow Tribe, the tribe would definitely be extinguished by the East Imperial Continent in less than ten years.
Situ Ao let out a slight breath while Jiang Yi had finally relaxed. With Lei Banxian’s statement, the Gods Bestow Tribe would be an absolutely safe place for him. Jiang Yi and the others wouldn’t have to fear anyone trying to plot against them anymore, openly or in the dark.
In fact, Jiang Yi truly didn’t want to leave Gods Bestow City. If he was to leave this place, he would suffer the endless pursuit from the Xie, Jian, Wu, and Tu Clans while the Lei, Nangong, and Lu Clan would definitely give chase as well. It wasn’t a matter if he was alone, but he had many followers. If a few more of them were to perish because of him, he would have to live in agony for his entire life.
Thinking about the people who perished, Jiang Yi’s head sank as the Golden Flood Dragon and the Yazi Beast were personally killed by Lei Tingwei while Yang Dong and Niu Deng were forced to death.
Ao Lu wasn’t looking at Jiang Yi, but he could feel Jiang Yi’s body emitting a light killing aura. He spoke coldly, “A single misunderstanding is enough?”
“En?”
Lei Tingwei and the Lei Clan’s elders had their heads lowered and were expressionless, but their hearts were extremely enraged. Wasn’t Jiang Yi still alive? Although two demonic beasts had perished, they were just Jiang Yi’s spirit beast slaves. By contrast, how many members of the Lei Clan had perished? How many members of the three clans had perished? Lei Banxian had already stated clearly that he would never look into this matter and would not deal with Jiang Yi. What else did he want?
Lei Banxian and Lei Gu’s expression had sunk down. As it was Ao Lu personally making an appearance and was so unyielding, even using the alliance to threaten them. Had it been any other Demon Sovereign, the two of them would surely look for Jiang Yi to settle the score as many of the Lei Clan’s elder and clansmen had perished.
Circumstances were stronger than the people!
If they didn’t want to start a war with Ao Lu, they had to compromise. Lei Banxian remained silent for a moment before he cupped his hands and asked, “What does my Lord want?”
“Ke-Ke!”
Ao Lu laughed lightly and looked at Jiang Yi. “This Great One doesn’t want anything. As long as this kid is satisfied, this Great One can treat it as though everything can happen. Otherwise… hehe!”
“Uh?”
Everyone was moved. Ao Lu was actually giving this Jiang Yi so much face?
Even if Jiang Yi was the reason why Ao Lu had been released from the Mystic Divine Palace, this was simply too much, right? By appearing and rescuing Jiang Yi, he was already giving a lot of face to Jiang Yi. Right now, he was acting as if Jiang Yi wasn’t satisfied, he was still going to start a war?
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless eyes looked at Jiang Yi while Lei Tingwei and the others had an extremely awful expression. If Jiang Yi wanted to eradicate the three clans today, was Ao Lu going to make the move?
Lei Banxian forced out a smile and looked at Jiang Yi. “Jiang Yi, say it then. What must be done to satisfy you? As long as it isn’t too excessive, this old one will permit it.”
Jiang Yi stayed silent and stared blankly at Ao Lu while his heart was filled with gratitude and bewilderment. He also didn’t understand why Ao Lu would behave like this?
If Ao Lu wanted to repay his gratitude, back then, he had already cheated and gave Jiang Yi the Destitute Dragon Grass, Heaven Evasion, and Fire Cloud Armor, which was already enough to repay all the favor. Today, Ao Lu had saved his life again, and there wasn’t a need for him to mess up the relationship between the Gods Bestow Tribe and the Endless Deep Sea because of him.
Since he couldn’t understand, he simply stopped thinking about it. He would be an idiot if he didn’t take advantage of this situation. He pondered for a moment and spoke, “Firstly, I want Nangong Qiling and Lei Qiyan’s engagement to be rescinded.”
Lei Banxian raised his sparse brows as he looked at Lei Tingwei with a confused expression. Lei Tingwei quickly transmitted a message to explain while Lei Banxian took a glance at Nangong Clan’s Patriarch before he nodded and said, “Done, we agree to this matter.”
Jiang Yi paused for a moment and continued to speak, “Secondly, Lei Qiyan is to be evicted from the Lei Clan!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lei Qiyan, who was in the distance, had turned pale as snow. Lei Qiyan wanted to open his mouth to curse, but a Lei Clan’s elder beside him quickly raised his hand to cover Lei Qiyan’s mouth.
Lei Banxian didn’t have any hesitation and nodded. “Done. From today onwards, Lei Qiyan will no longer be a descendant of the Lei Clan. He shall never step foot in Gods Bestow Island in this life.”
Lei Qiyan’s body shuddered while his eyes were filled with despair. Lei Banxian’s words were like the imperial edict. Now that he said it openly, there was no chance to alter it. At least, he would never be able to enter the Gods Bestow Island in this lifetime. One of the Lei Clan’s elders immediately carried Lei Qiyan who had an ashen expression and flew down Sky Ascension Peak.
Lei Banxian didn’t know the feud between Lei Qiyan and Jiang Yi, but today’s incident was definitely caused by Lei Qiyan. Earlier on, Lei Tingwei’s transmitted message had mentioned the matters between Big Sister Bell and Lei Qiyan. In Lei Banxian’s heart, such a descendant would only bring trouble to the Lei Clan. Why did he need such people for?
Jiang Yi nodded with satisfaction and swept a look at Lei Tingwei, Nangong Yunyi, and Lu Li, before he spoke again, “Thirdly, Lei Tingwei, Nangong Yunyi, Lu Li…”
When the trio’s name were stated, the trio’s expression instantly changed—so did countless others. Situ Ao immediately transmitted a message: “Jiang Yi, know when to stop. Enough playing around!”
Jiang Yi let out a subtle smile and said, “I personally think they are not suited for the position of Clan Head. Of course, this is your clans’ affairs. Seniors may decide on your own.”
Lei Banxian and the others let out a breath. If Jiang Yi was to ask for the trio to be banished, they wouldn’t know what to do. Lei Banxian nodded and said, “We will prudently consider this matter. Jiang Yi, do you have any other requests?”
“I have!”
Jiang Yi replied firmly while countless people rolled their eyes instantly. Jiang Yi had too many conditions, right? What was called circumstances wouldn’t spare anyone? Today, everyone had finally witnessed the true meaning.
Jiang Yi looked at Situ Clan’s Patriarch and spoke seriously, “Senior Situ, I earnestly request you to withdraw your previous decision. Uncle Situ Au’s capability is obvious to all. If his Clan Head’s position was dismissed because of Jiang Yi, my heart will never be at ease.”
“Uh…”
Situ Clan’s Patriarch’s old face reddened as he nodded and said, “I will do it as per your request.”
This time, Jiang Yi knew it was time to stop. He cupped his hands to all the old fellows and cast his sight at Ao Lu and said, “My Lord, I am very satisfied.”
“Hahaha!”
Ao Lu laughed loudly while his hand flashed with purple gold radiance. A giant purple gold war chariot appeared while he vanished from where he stood. The purple gold war chariot flew towards the Endless Deep Sea while those Demon Sovereigns, who had come along, quickly followed back as well. Ao Lu had arrived very quickly and left very quickly as well.
However, Ao Lu quickly sent a message across the sky. “It is fine as long as you are satisfied. Stay in Gods Bestow Tribe with ease in the future. If anyone dares to touch you, this Great One will extinguish their clan! Qianqian, after this kid’s matters are settled, bring him over to Xuanwu1 Palace to play.”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless eyes went back onto Jiang Yi with fear and envy. With Ao Lu’s statement, it was the same as Jiang Yi getting a golden token of immunity; and he would be able to walk across the Gods Bestow Tribe and bully anyone as he pleased while no one would dare touch him.
