Chapter 134: Arrogance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Arrogance! Preposterousness!
These were the feeling that Jiang Yi was giving everyone. Who was Jiang Rentu? He was the famed General Rentu, who would definitely be ranked as one of the top 30 combatants in the Divine Martial Kingdom. He was now in command of the Divine Martial Kingdom’s strongest forces, the Killer Divine Guards. Jiang Yi, who was just a n.o.body, dared to ask Jiang Rentu to get lost? And if they didn’t, he would make them all stay?
In fact, Jiang Rentu felt that Jiang Yi was too preposterous as well. He didn’t know why that pearl gave him a sense of danger, but he didn’t think that Jiang Yi could hurt him. If he was to use his true strength, he would be able to eliminate Jiang Yi within seconds.
But he didn’t dare to make any move. He wasn’t afraid of Jiang Yi hurting him, but that he would hurt himself! He knew well enough how his lord highly regards Jiang Yi. If this young lord was to have any mishaps, his skin would probably be pulled off by Jiang Bieli.
“Sigh, Your Highness. Your temperament is exactly like Madam Yi’s…”
Jiang Rentu sighed indistinctly and backed off, landing securely on the warhorse. He looked deeply into Jiang Yi’s eyes and waved with a hand gesture. “Withdraw the troops!”
“Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+”
The ten thousand Killer Divine Guards stood up and turned with unison. They got on their horses and changed their direction, galloping away. In just fifteen minutes, they all vanished from the valley.
“Roar-Roar!”
Zhangsun Wuji was standing on the Blue Dragon and circling in the air. He took a deep glance at Jiang Yi and at Princess Yun Fei who was standing at a corner. He controlled his Blue Dragon and flew towards the north.
“Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+”
At this same time, most of the treasure-seeking martial artists all began to swiftly flee. They were scared of being pursued by this madman named Jiang Yi. They were afraid that if they didn’t leave now, Jiang Yi might go berserk and slaughter all of them.
Soon, the people that were inside of the valley had all left, leaving behind the mentors and cadets from the Mt. Spirit Beast College. There were more than a thousand cadets who went in to look for treasures, but only less than five hundred of them had remained. This was mainly due to Jiang Yi not touching any of the cadets after prowling for several days. Otherwise, it would be fortunate for there to be around one or two hundred cadets.
Jiang Yi remained in silence while he stood, it was only until now that did he look to the left and locked his eyes on Ji Tingyu, Jiang Henshui, and the rest.
Ji Tingyu was rather lucky. Jiang Yi went searching for revenge for the past few days and didn’t manage to find her. But now, her luck had seemed to be at an end.
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed of a trace of red light as the killing aura poured out from his body. He slowly walked over to Ji Tingyu with the looks of a fiend, and it was obvious that he was thinking of killing someone.
Princ.i.p.al Qi was already pent-up with anger, and Jiang Yi wanted to kill in front of her? She furiously yelled out, “Jiang Yi! What are you trying to do?!”
“Jiang Yi!”
When Su Ruoxue saw that Princ.i.p.al Qi was about to get mad, she frantically caught up and pulled Jiang Yi back. She whispered to Jiang Yi, “Don’t you want to save your servant girl? If you offend Princ.i.p.al Qi, you will be expelled from the college. Bear with it first!”
The red light vanished from Jiang Yi’s eyes. He gave an indifferent look at Ji Tingyu and stopped his advancement. Ji Tingyu dodged her eyes from Jiang Yi and dared not look directly in his eyes. Her charming face was now green and pale; hundreds of overwhelming feelings surged out from her heart.
“Everyone, get on the carriages and return to the college. If anyone dares to make another move, prepare to be expelled!”
Princ.i.p.al Qi exclaimed with a serious first. Being ill-treated by Jiang Rentu in front of so many individuals was a humiliation for her today. It was also because of this that she now had a bad impression on Jiang Yiliu and Jiang Yi.
With the coordination from the mentors and the guards, the cadets all quickly boarded the carriages. But this time around, there was no need to squeeze in the carriages due to the large death count.
Jiang Yi, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Lin’er, and Qian w.a.n.guan still got into a carriage together while Su Ruoxue boarded a carriage in the front. Everyone headed back to the college in silence.
“Huuu…”
Jiang Yi entered the carriage and slept immediately. He left a statement: “Don’t wake me. I want to have a good sleep.”
Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan exchanged looks as they both looked at the pitiful Jiang Yi. They knew Jiang Yi wasn’t physically tired but mentally tired instead!
…
While the group rushed back to the Mt. Spirit Beast, they didn’t meet with any danger along the way. Everyone was peaceful—except for a missing person. When the group stopped over for a night at a city, Ji Tingyu suddenly vanished in the night.
When Jiang Yi got to know of this information, he didn’t say anything and remained within the carriage. Apart from sleeping, he would be cultivating. He didn’t speak much with Qian w.a.n.guan or Zhan Wushuang. Oddly, Su Ruoxue didn’t appear, too.
Two days before arriving at the Mt. Spirit Beast College, Jiang Yi got to know of a piece of great news. Jiang Yunhai was safe, and he even initiated contact with the members of the Qian Clan to send a message. He had arranged a proper place for Jiang Xiaonu and asked Jiang Yi to cultivate in the college with ease.
When Jiang Rentu led ten thousand Killer Divine Guards to the Ten-Thousand Dragons Valley, it was an announcement to the world that Jiang Bieli treated Jiang Yi with importance. If anyone dared to touch him, they would have to wait for the wrath from the no.1 combatant from the Divine Martial Kingdom.
According to Qian w.a.n.guan’s calculations, Jiang Yi would be very safe for the rest of the days; and so would Jiang Yunhai. The Zhangsun Clan wouldn’t take the risk of offending Jiang Bieli, just to pursue Jiang Yunhai.
…
Over a dozen days later, the Killer Divine Guards returned to the Jiang Yi City with majestic prowess. With regard to Jiang Bieli utilizing a huge army and creating a huge commotion, the royal clan of the Divine Martial Kingdom didn’t have any response. It seemed like they were completely unaware of it.
Jiang Yiliu was not in a good predicament. Jiang Rentu might have asked someone to help him recuperate, which helped his legs recover before arriving back at Jiang Yi City. But once he entered Jiang Yi City, he was brought to his mother by Jiang Rentu to the Clear Sky Pavilion. Then… he was placed on house arrest. Jiang Bieli asked someone to send the message for him to repent for a year!
The house arrest was a small matter; the crucial point was Jiang Bieli’s att.i.tude. Jiang Yiliu’s mother tried to seek a meeting with Jiang Bieli for four or five occasions, but there wasn’t even a single occasion that Jiang Bieli attended to her. So much so that… he asked someone to relay the message that if she continued to make a fuss, they would ask her to bring Jiang Yiliu and get out of Jiang Yi City!
Jiang Yiliu knew his old man well enough to know that Jiang Bieli was infuriated to the extreme. Had it not been because he was Jiang Bieli’s flesh and blood, he would have died countless times by now. He also understood that his impression in Jiang Bieli’s heart was now at its worst.
The only thing he could rejoice was that Jiang Yi didn’t come along and seemed to dislike Jiang Bieli. He even said he wanted to eliminate Jiang Rentu. If Jiang Yi was to truly return and acknowledge his origins, the successor to the Western Garrison Liege Lord position would truly be uncertain.
Western Garrison Liege Lord Residence, Soaring Dragon Pavilion!
Jiang Bieli was seated on a throne that was metallic cold like a tiger crouching or a dragon coiled up. After listening to Jiang Rentu’s report, his expression remained emotionless. He looked outside of the window and mumbled, “Yi Piaopiao, your son is exactly the same as you. Having a stubborn and domineering temper. He is too similar to you.”
“Liege Lord!”
Jiang Rentu’s fierce-looking face shook as he reported: “According to those individuals that entered the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, His Highness is now insanely formidable. He realized the Ma.s.sacre Intent in the Mt. Spirit Beast College and could even release a certain kind of martial skill that could easily kill a peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm martial artist with an explosion. That’s right! There is another thing… he seemed to obtain some kind of treasure from the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch that destroyed your Man-Ruler Seal!”
“En?”
Jiang Bieli’s thick brows lifted. From the information that he obtained, Jiang Yi was only at the first stage of the Cast Tripod Realm half a year ago, back at Skyplume City, but he was now unrivaled even in the Purple Mansion Realm? He even broke his Man-Ruler Seal?
His tiger eyes glistened as he exclaimed, “Do a detailed question from those that came back from the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. Also, is the scout that went to the Skyplume City and Mt. Spirit Beast College back yet? Bring me all the information on Jiang Yi. I want to know every detail that happened to Jiang Yi during these years!”
