Ultimately, Tantai Hong didn’t attack. It wasn’t because he was afraid of Qi Tianyu and his people as the Heaven Monarchs in the city could contest against the 500 over Black Flag Army. The problem was after the fight.
The Qi Clan was the top ten clans in the Heaven State Region. Their clan was big, and so were their businesses. Thus, they could afford the risk but not the Tantai Clan. It was a trifling matter to the Qi Clan, even if these 500 Black Flag Army had died. A lot of his Tantai Clan members had already died today. The Heaven Flame City would have to change its dictator if more of them were to die.
Just now when Tantai Wudi died, Tantai Hong didn’t even make a move. At this moment, a married woman and two grandchildren that he wasn’t fond of was going to be taken away. Naturally, he wasn’t going to risk falling out.
Just like what Jiang Yi had thought. The Qi Clan’s strength was just way too strong, and so were their backers. The Tantai Clan’s backers were just two elders from the Luo Clan while the Qi Clan’s backer was a Demigod Realm Grand Elder. How could they even be compared?
Jiang Yi and others broke out from the siege effortlessly and headed for the north city gate while Qi Tianyu had also taken out a Heaven Fate Ship and let Jiang Yi and others board it. Although this Heaven Fate Ship wasn’t as big as the Tang Clan’s, it was still pretty good. Its speed was at the level of a middle-stage Heaven Monarch.
Tantai Shi brought Song Zhong and the other two children into the cabin. She has no other idea if she should follow Jiang Yi in the future or remain in the Qi Clan. However, any of these choices were still better than staying in the Tantai Clan.
If she was to stay in the Tantai Clan, Tantai Ya would treat her as a prostitute and dally with her. She might even be played by old codgers like Tantai Wudi while her children would be treated as illegitimate children. If so, it would be better for her to die.
She was completely convinced by Jiang Yi’s methods and ability.
Not only was Jiang Yi very strong, but he possessed terrifying capabilities as well. He was able to summon 500 Black Flag Army easily, and the Black Flag Army listened to his orders without hesitation. Even Tantai Wudi, an old codger she felt that she must never provoke, was easily slaughtered. Ultimately, they were still able to escape unscathed.
What caused her to be most amazed about was Jiang Yi’s age. She had stayed with Jiang Yi for a period of time, and her instinct told her that Jiang Yi was very young. She was very smart, and there were a lot of thoughts within her mind. She even conjectured that it was very likely for Jiang Yi to be from Sin Island. However… so what?
Tantai Shi wouldn’t mind even if Jiang Yi was of the demon race, let alone being a native in Sin Island. She only knew that this man was her benefactor, and this man was a good person. Otherwise, why would he start a war with the Tantai Clan just for a stranger? If he wasn’t a good person, why would he escort them for millions of miles just because of a child’s request? If he wasn’t a good person, would he reject her seduction every single time?
Jiang Yi didn’t have any request for them and was purely helping them out just because he saw injustice. Tantai Shi had seen a lot of vile people and filthy things in this cruel world. Although Jiang Yi seemed indifferent, she was able to see the true sentiments. She saw the most beautiful side of mankind and allowed her to feel humanity and warmth.
Therefore, she didn’t speak after she got onto the Heaven Fate Ship. She had also ordered Song Zhong to not reveal any information pertaining to Jiang Yi even in death. Song Zhong was her soul slave and would never defy her orders.
Jiang Yi walked out to the deck after helping them settled down. The Heaven Fate Ship was flying towards the north quickly while the Black Flag Army stood on the deck in rows. When they saw Jiang Yi, they had only bowed slightly and didn’t speak. They were extremely disciplined and strict and were an iron blood army.
Jiang Yi walked towards Qi Tianyu. When the latter saw Jiang Yi, he greeted him with a bow, “Qi Tianyu pays his greetings to Young Master!”
“Is it convenient to speak?”
Jiang Yi pricked up his eyebrows and inquired softly. Qi Tianyu nodded and pointed to a cabin, “My Lord, this way.”
Jiang Yi walked towards the cabin. After Qi Tianyu gave some instructions, he quickly followed into the cabin. Qi Tianyu activated the restriction before cupping his hands. “Young Master, please give your orders.”
“Are we heading to the Black Flag City? How long would we need?” Jiang Yi inquired curiously. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Do you know of my identity?”
“In regard to Young Master’s questions!”
Qi Tianyu replied in a serious tone, “Indeed, we are heading over to the Black Flag City, and we need ten days. As for Young Master’s identity, other than the Clan Head, no one else is qualified to know. The Clan Head said that Young Master’s orders are his orders!”
“Oh!”
Jiang Yu was in complete admiration to Shadow Emperor’s means. He actually had full control over a major clan behind the scenes. Furthermore, it was absolute fidelity. With such a large clan supporting him, it would be easy for him to examine the East Imperial Continent’s information.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he spoke, “Tell me about your clan’s situation!”
Since Jiang Yi had taken Tantai Shi and the two children, he naturally had to arrange a place for them to stay. He would arrange for them to stay in the Qi Clan if the Qi Clan’s situation was pretty good. He could only help them this much. He could no longer care for Tantai Shi and her two children’s future. This time, once he left the Heaven State Region, he might never come back here again.
Qi Tianyu started to narrate in detail. “The Qi Clan was established 20,000 years ago and is one of the top ten clans that served the Luo Clan to seize the Heaven State Region. At this moment, we are still one of the top ten clans in the Heaven State Region. As long as the Luo Clan doesn’t collapse, our Qi Clan would never perish. Our Clan Head is also a Demigod Realm expert. However, he only has the strength of a Six-Star. We possess a hundred Five-Star experts, and for Four-Star…”
Qi Tianyu spoke for a full hour as he narrated the Qi Clan’s situation in detail. The only thing he didn’t speak off was how many concubines and intimate friends Clan Head Qi Tianchen had.
Jiang Yi nodded his head slightly. He was completely reassured to place Tantai Shi and her two children in the Qi Clan. With the relations he had with Shadow Emperor, the trio wouldn’t suffer any grievance in the Qi Clan.
When doing something, there must be a start and a finish to it. Since he was helping someone, he should help them to the end so that there was one less thing for him to worry about.
Jiang Yi stood up and was prepared to head back to his cabin after he had said what he needed to. When he was at the doorway, he suddenly inquired curiously. “Commander Qi, do you know what’s happening over there in the sea?”
“Over there?”
Qi Tianyu blinked his eyes with confusion. Subsequently, he nodded his head, “My Lord should be referring to the Endless Deep Sea, right? I only know some information about it, and three elders in my clan also know about it. My Lord can be at ease. Our clan is completely devoted to the Endless Deep Sea. Without the help of the Endless Deep Sea, the Qi Clan would have been destroyed by the Jian Clan long ago.
“We also have an agreement with the Endless Deep Sea. We would help them handle some trifle affairs to the best of our abilities and would safeguard the demon race so that they wouldn’t be eradicated by the Nine Thearchs Clans. However, if the demon race was to start a war with the human race, we would stand at the side of mankind because we all are humans. This is the first clan rule in the Qi Clan.”
“Very well!”
Jiang Yi nodded his head in satisfaction. His relation with Endless Deep Sea was pretty decent as well. However, if the human race and demon race were to start a war, he would definitely stand with mankind. It was a war between the races rather than something of each other’s interest and relationship. He was a human first before he was Jiang Yi!
“Hehe, I’m thinking too far off!”
After walking out from the cabin, Jiang Yi looked towards the beautiful river and mountains that were faraway while he smiled bitterly. The current demon race’s influence was very weak. They should already be thankful that they weren’t annihilated by the human race. At least the demon race wouldn’t have the ability to attack the human race’s continent for many tens of thousands of years to come. Could he live for tens of thousands of years? Clearly not. Therefore, there was no need for him to be worried about such things. He only needed to do what he had to do.
“Buddha Region!”
He cast his gaze towards the northeast, and through the bright clear sky, he could seemingly see a giant city. He could also see Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni riding a Heaven Fate Ship which was rushing towards the Buddha Thearch City. He clenched his fist with all his strength, and his eyes gradually grew cold. He murmured with killing aura. “Ji Tingyu, I will kill you this time!”
