Chapter 1349: A Blood Storm
How about we send someone to bring Jiang Xiaonu back?
With a single thought, Jiang Yi got Gu Mu to ask the Earth Emanations Pavilion’s people for help to bring Jiang Xiaonu back. That would allow them to leave much sooner.
However, he quickly rejected this plan. He could not make such a big deal out of his coming here to look for Jiang Xiaonu. What if the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan’s people found out? What would he do if they sent their own men to capture Jiang Xiaonu first?
The next moment…!
A sentence from the team leader gave Jiang Yi much less to ponder over. The team leader’s eyes widened, suddenly sending a voice transmission to Gu Mu. Gu Mu’s own eyes widened as he relayed the message onto Jiang Yi: “Master, there might be some trouble. Someone has been watching Lady Xiaonu—the son of a commander in Earth Emanations Pavilion. He went on his own mission shortly after Lady Xiaonu did, and his location is near hers!”
“What?”
Jiang Yi’s gaze turned cool immediately, and his body emanated an intense killing intent. However, he quickly calmed back down and sent a voice transmission back to Gu Mu: “Why is this team leader telling us this? Is he trying to trick us?”
If this team leader had been bribed by the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan, they would only be killed if they followed his directions. Jiang Yi had been plotted against countless times. It would be much harder for him to trust anyone now.
Gu Mu quickly sent a voice transmission to the team leader, questioning him. His expression was ferocious, and killing intent surrounded his body. A moment later, he reported back to Jiang Yi: “Master, I don’t think there’s a problem. This team leader says that he has a feud with that commander. They are from different camps altogether. He’s with the a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord while that man is with the Pavilion Lord…”
Jiang Yi pondered over this for a while and then sent a voice transmission back to Gu Mu: “We still should be careful. Go and look for the other team leaders in Earth Emanations Pavilion to find out more about the situation. Also, tell this team leader not to leak news of us questioning him, or he will be in deep trouble!”
Gu Mu relayed the message to the man before the two of them left for another side hall. Once again, they began to question another team leader.
In the end… they heard the news that caused Jiang Yi’s heart to sink even further. Jiang Xiaonu had become a s.h.i.+ning pearl in the Earth Emanations Pavilion. Her pure and innocent character attracted countless young men like a lotus flower on a divine mountain. There were at least ten people in the Earth Emanations Pavilion who were wooing Jiang Xiaonu. Among them were a couple of gentlemen from small clans and the son of the second best commander in Earth Emanations Pavilion, Xia Rui!
Xia Rui wooed Jiang Xiaonu pa.s.sionately, and everyone in Earth Emanations Pavilion knew that. However, Jiang Xiaonu remained closed off to him. What’s more, Xia Rui dared not mess around with her in front of so many people.
Now, shortly after Jiang Xiaonu went out on a mission, Xia Rui went as well. As for whether he was harboring any ideas about Jiang Xiaonu and whether he had plans to attack her while they were out, the next team leader did not dare to speculate.
“Ask more people!”
Jiang Yi led Gu Mu out, sprinting. Once again, they found another team leader to question. They received the same news. Jiang Yi’s face drained of all color, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
If they did not go out now, Jiang Xiaonu would probably get into trouble!
However, if they left the tribe, they would likely get into trouble. What’s more, if they managed to locate Jiang Xiaonu, they might get into conflict with this Xia Rui. Following that, they might even get into trouble with the Blue Lion City’s Earth Emanations Pavilion. Fighting against officials with authority would not bode well for them.
Go!
After thinking about these things for a couple of seconds, Jiang Yi finally made up his mind to go and look for Jiang Xiaonu!
Dragons had reverse scales which could cause death upon contact. Jiang Xiaonu was Jiang Yi’s reverse scales. The woman that his heart hurt the most for was not Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, or Yi Chan… but this innocent maidservant whom he grew up with and relied on all his life.
“Master, you cannot do that. It’s too dangerous for us to get out of the city. The Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan would not give up this chance!”
As Gu Mu followed behind Jiang Yi, he kept sending voice transmissions. Alas, Jiang Yi turned back and shot him a cold look. “If Xiaonu dies, I don’t want to live, too. You and Luo Qingyan would have to die as well. So you’d best send a message to your Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan, telling them to protect me at all costs. Otherwise, you and Luo Qingyan would surely lose your lives.”
Looking at Jiang Yi’s resolute expression, Gu Mu knew that there would be no point in trying to persuade him any further. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow him.
The moment they emerged from Earth Emanations Pavilion, Jiang Yi instructed Gu Mu to get Luo Qingyan out of the ring. Luo Qingyan then retrieved her Divine Boat and gave orders for three of them to board it. The Divine Board flew into the air towards the outside of the tribe.
“Uh…”
The G.o.d Kings of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan were all stunned. Gu Mu sent them a very clear voice transmission. Jiang Yi was going to a place five thousand kilometers east of the city called Drizzling Mountain Ridges. He was going there to look for one person, and they were to protect him at all costs. If Jiang Yi died, Luo Qingyan would perish as well!
Luo Shui mumbled to himself for several seconds and then ordered, “Luo Tian, send a message to Sixth Elder and Clan Head. Tell them to send back-up soldiers at once, or Young Mistress will die!”
Swis.h.!.+
The nine other G.o.d Kings from Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan flew up into the air, chasing after the Divine Boat. Their speeds were quite high; they could be as fast as the Divine Boat. At that moment—since the Divine Boat was not traveling extremely quickly, they had no trouble catching up with it.
“Jiang Yi, you piece of sh*t!”
Luo Tian cried out in anger. He flew into Earth Emanations Pavilion as fast as he could and looked for a message transmitting secret formation in order to send a message to Luo Xiang. Jiang Yi, this crazy idiot, was actually going to leave the city? The Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan would not give up such a good chance to attack him. For all they knew, Luo Fu would rush over himself. The moment they waged war, Luo Qingyan would be in danger. Then, they would definitely have to face Luo Xiang’s wrath!
“Luo Fu[1], tell the Clan Head at once that Jiang Yi is leaving the city. Ask him to send back-up soldiers here to strengthen our army. Everyone else, follow them closely and prepare to fight!” One of the upper-tier G.o.d Kings from the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan shouted before his body shot up into the air, towards Jiang Yi and company.
Blue Lion Tribe immediately became full of action. Many people started to speculate what was happening in the city plaza. The ever-quiet and peaceful tribe was experiencing huge changes all of a sudden. Something big was about to happen.
…
Two pieces of news spread, one towards the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan and the other towards the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan. Both of them were beyond angry!
Sixth Elder began to cuss non-stop. Yet, what else could they do? Jiang Yi, this crazy man, was not afraid of death at all. If they did not send people to protect him and the Battle G.o.d sent people to take him and kill him, Luo Qingyan might just die in all the commotion.
“Five of you, stay behind to watch our clan. The rest of the G.o.d Kings, come with me to the Teleportation Formation to hunt them down!”
Sixth Elder spat in a low voice. He was all out of ideas because the scouts had discovered that Luo Fu was already sending a significant number of the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Luo Clan’s formidable martial artists to the city plaza. In fact, they were just about to start teleporting. Luo Fu already had one foot in the Heaven Thearch Realm, and he was the best in battling in the Divine Eagle City. He alone could easily kill Luo Shui and company, capture Jiang Yi, and then play with him like a toy.
“Uh?”
Countless people on the city plaza of Divine Eagle City stood there, astonished. Luo Fu led a total of thirty G.o.d Kings, and all of them sprinted towards the Teleportation Formation. Their overwhelming auras caused many people around them to have difficulty breathing. At once, they moved out of the way.
Buzz!
The light around the Teleportation Formation shot into the sky, and Luo Fu and company disappeared into it. Before long, more than thirty people flew towards the formation from the east. The formidable martial artists of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan had been activated as well. The entire Divine Eagle City was sitting on the edge of their seats now.
Under ordinary circ.u.mstances—when nothing big was happening, a clan would not send out so many formidable martial artists at once. Now, two clans were sending out huge groups of formidable martial artists. It was obvious that something unbelievably huge had happened, beyond all of their wildest imaginations.
The people recalled the news that they got recently, such as… Luo Ting dying and Luo Qingyan being taken hostage. Initially, they thought that these were rumors that were not to be believed. However, thinking about the news in light of the current circ.u.mstances, they suddenly sounded much more reliable.
“Something big is going to happen!”
One of the Earth Emanations Army commanders guarding the Teleportation Formation suddenly swallowed a gulp of saliva and turned towards the south. Faintly, he could see a red light flas.h.i.+ng in the sky. It was almost as if a blood storm was brewing there.
