Even though the Divine Voice Heaven Skill could barely make an impact on the upper-tier Heaven Monarchs, Jiang Yi was very pleased. There was a tremendous difference between upper-tier and mid-tier Heaven Monarchs. Besides, he didn’t rely solely on the Divine Voice Heaven Skill to kill his enemy. His major weapon was the soul swords. Of course, he would study this Divine Voice Heaven Skill in greater depth if he had some time in the future. If it was able to influence the peak-stage Heaven Monarch, it would be perfect.
They both shone and left the Thearch Palace. Jiang Yi put away the Thearch Palace and waved his hands to gesticulate the crowd to rest in the main hall. On the other hand, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged and was going to circulate his essence forces for recuperation. Just at this time, the shield outside suddenly glistened. Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian looked at each other, and both looked alert. Were the Lei clansmen already here?
Buzz!
Jiang Yi took out the Thearch Palace immediately and took everyone in. Huangfu Taotian sent a voice transmission to a guard that said: “Open the restrictions, and see who is coming.”
A guard turned on the restrictions before soon sending a voice transmission: “Young Master Tian, it’s Young Master Yixiao and Young Mistress Yinian.”
“Situ Yixiao? Situ Yinian?”
Huangfu Taotian frowned and said, “The Situ Clan is really fast. Shall we go out and welcome them?”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi raised up and walked out with Huangfu Taotian. As expected, he saw Situ Yixiao in a white embroidered robe and Situ Yinian in a black dress. They didn’t bring any guard with them and asked them to wait outside.
“Jiang Yi sends his greetings to Young Master Yixiao and Young Mistress Yinian.” As his identity was already revealed, he didn’t need to hide anymore. Jiang Yi cupped his fists and said with a smile, “Come in, please.”
“Brother Jiang kept us in the dark for so long!” Situ Yixiao smiled bitterly and said, “The rare talent who shocks the entire East Imperial Continent and who hides in the God Bestow City for months, but we only know this person tonight. The Elder that is responsible for collecting intelligence in our clan has just been sternly reprimanded by our Clan Head.”
“Haha!”
Jiang Yi laughed loudly and walked to the Inner Court, side by side with them. He explained. “Jiang Yi’s enemies are everywhere. If I didn’t hide my identity, I’m afraid that I am unable to see you right now.”
“Those who don’t attract envy are just mediocre talents!”
Situ Yixiao shrugged and said, “Which one of the most powerful people in history doesn’t have enemies all over the world? Brother Jiang is able to make such great achievements at such a young age, which really mortifies Yixiao.”
As they spoke, the group already entered the inner yard. Huangfu Taotian stood by Jiang Yi’s side all the time. Even though it seemed that Situ Yixiao and his sister wouldn’t hurt Jiang Yi, he still decided to be careful.
There was no maidservant in the Inner Court, and Feng Luan and the others were in the Thearch Palace. Therefore, Jiang Yi personally made a cup of tea for each of them before asking, “Do you come to my place in the middle of the night for something important?”
Situ Yinian smiled faintly, rolled her pretty eyes, and continued. “We don’t have anything in particular. It’s just that after we reported tonight’s happening to our Clan head, he asked us to come over and stay with Brother Jiang for a few days. He is worried that the city is not safe.”
“Uh...”
Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian were both moved. The latter was amazed by Situ Ao’s resolution. This was the true sincerity. In order to recruit Jiang Yi, Situ Ao risked blatantly offending Tiger Lei and even... regardless of whether Jiang Yi would agree to join the Situ Clan.
Jiang Yi was stunned. Then, he stood up and made a deep bow. Brimming with gratitude, he said, “Situ Clan Head’s great kindness made Jiang Yi embarrassed. Jiang Yi will always remember Brother Yixiao and Lady Yinian’s care and support.”
“Haha!”
Situ Yixiao roared with laughter and said, “Brother Jiang is too polite. Actually, it is Yixiao’s honor to have the chance to get to know great people like Brother Jiang. You defeated the younger generations of the Nine Thearch Clans on your own and obtained the cardinal treasure. After that, you made Jian Wuying and She Fei’s chase a total failure and escaped the four great clans’ hunt. Yixiao can’t help admiring you. A real man should be like Brother Jiang. He is able to do whatever he wants, and wander around the world, and is the real hero. We hide in the God Bestow City and rely on our clan’s power. We are like flood dragon as compared to Brother Jiang who is the True Dragon.”
Even Huangfu Taotian had to secretly applaud Situ Yixiao’s speech. He had always been looking down on the Young Masters of the four great clans in the past. At this moment, he greatly changed his impression of Situ Yixiao. After remaining silent for a while, he suddenly said, “Situ Yixiao, you are a true man. Huangfu Taotian will count you as his friend.”
Situ Yixiao was dumbfounded before instantly rising up and bowing at him. “It is a great honor to be a friend of Brother Huangfu! Hahaha, Yixiao should be the only one among all the Young Masters of the thirteen clans in the God Bestow tribe. We should drink a toast to this.”
Jiang Yi didn’t go to retrieve the wine. Instead, he paused for a while and said seriously, “Young Master Yixiao, Jiang Yi won’t hold back the truth from you. I have a blood debt in the East Imperial Continent. I once swore that I won’t be a man if I don’t destroy the Martial Arts Hall. Thus... I can’t join your Situ Clan, but I want to make a deal with you. Jiang Yi hopes that the Situ Clan can help him to resist some kind of pressure. Brother Huangfu knows that I am going to achieve phenomenal success in an upper-tier dao pattern. I will present ten upper-tier Heaven Paintings as a gift to the Situ Clan.”
Situ Yixiao and Situ Yinian looked at each other; they didn’t look surprised at all. As expected, Jiang Yi was the author of the Heaven Paintings, and he refused to join the Situ Clan.
Situ Yixiao kept quiet for a while and said gravely, “Brother Jiang is as ambitious as a tiger and even wants to destroy the North Thearch’s Wu Clan! Put aside the Heaven Paintings, the Situ Clan will definitely do everything to help you just for your pride. All the other clans will let the past be the past if they hear this, let alone the Situ Clan. The Nine Thearch Clans are the mortal enemies of our thirteen clans!”
Huangfu Taotian nodded. Whether the Situ Clan was genuine or not, at least their attitude was very sincere. Situ Yixiao was a talent. If he became the Situ Clan Head, he would definitely be able to level up the Situ Clan’s influence.
Situ Yixiao didn’t say it explicitly, but it was clear that they had a deal now.
Situ Yinian also said with a brilliant smile, “Brother Jiang is the true master. You kept us in the dark for such a long time. Brother Jiang, Situ Clan owes a very elegant small courtyard which is very suitable for quiet cultivation and painting. Shall we move there now? Changes may happen anything. The sooner we move, the safer.”
Jiang Yi glanced at Huangpu Taotian who nodded. Jiang Yi suddenly raised up and said, “Alright, I’ll ask people to pack things up. I’m afraid I will trouble Brother Yixiao and Lady Yinian in the future.”
Huangfu Taotian summoned guards to start packing. Situ Yixiao also went out of the courtyard and gave the order. One mid-tier Heaven Monarch of the Situ Clan left instantly. By the time that Jiang Yi and his group finished packing and went out—to their surprise, they found dozens of carriages, hundreds of guards and ten peak-stage Heaven Monarch Elders!
“This...”
Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian looked at each other and were secretly impressed by Situ Clan’s imposing manner. This contingent was clearly a show for the Lei Clan and the Lu Clan to express their determination to protect Jiang Yi till the end.
People around them were scouts from different clans. Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian got onto the Situ Clan’s luxurious carriage and were easily noticed. Soon, the whole crowd burst into an uproar.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
The luxurious carriage went slowly to the Situ Residence. The city was quiet, but countless powerful divine senses were fixed on these dozens of carriages. Jiang Yi, who was in the carriage, was also able to feel the blatant intrusion of numerous divine senses.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
When the carriage arrived at the God Bestowing city plaza, hundreds of men raised up from the Lei Clan Residence. Everyone released all their murderous auras and stopped the team.
Lei Qiyan stood proudly among the crowd. He fixed his eyes on Jiang Yi and barked angrily, “Jiang Yi, if you don’t hand over the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and Mother Earth Armor today, don’t blame our Lei Clan for being merciless. Brother Yixiao, this is my personal grudges with Jiang Yi. I hope that the Situ Clan will not get involved. Otherwise... we would disturb the harmony between our clans.”
