The news that there was movement on the Mystic Divine Mountain soon spread to everyone within five days. News like that just could not be kept under wraps. There had been scouts from the great family clans hiding near the Mystic Divine Mountain all this time. Whenever something happens, the scouts would immediately update the rest of the continent.
The Mystic Divine Palace appeared on the Mystic Divine Mountain several years ago. In all these years, countless people have tried to climb the mountain. However, for some reason, they have always gotten stopped by the mountain itself. Even the Nine Thearchs themselves had tried in vain. Of course, it was not that the Nine Thearchs did not have their own methods to ascend the mountain. Instead, the restrictions near the mountain were just too huge. If they tried to ascend the mountain by force, both the Mystic Divine Palace and the Mystic Divine Mountain would be blown to pieces.
The Mystic Divine Mountain was known as a sacred mountain. There were many mystic realms at the top. The Mystic Divine Palace was one of the most treasured places in the world as well. Thus, the Nine Thearchs all dared not force their way up. Whoever tried would also be blown to pieces by the Battle Thearch.
As news spread, the great family clans began to make the necessary preparations. The strange thing, however, was that the old fellows in the Nine Thearch Clans and the other great family clans made no moves. A few Demigods were sent out. In their place, the younger generation went through transportation arrays and rushed over to the Mystic Thearch City as fast as they could.
The reason for this was understood by the old fellows of the Nine Thearch Clans the moment the Mystic Divine Palace appeared on the Mystic Divine Mountain. Only the younger generation could inherit this thing. There was no chance that the older generation would be able to enter the Mystic Divine Palace.
Years back, when they tried to ascend the mountain, they discovered that the older martial artists had to expend more effort in order to get higher. This made them think about the character and the temper of the Mystic Thearch. The older fellows of the Nine Thearch Clans, such as the Sonar Thearch, soon gave up on the thought of ever ascending the mountain. The Mystic Thearch himself was a young talent. He was not even forty years old when he became the Mystic Thearch. There was no way that he would leave this valuable palace to a man older than he was.
Yi Chan came out of isolation, and She Fei got moving as well. Ling Qijian and Ling Shiya were already halfway to the mountain. Jian Wuying, under the lead of an elder from his clan, got to the mountain the soonest. The Wu Clan had sent their people, but Wu Ni was nowhere to be seen. He was probably still locked up, unable to get out. Countless young men and ladies from the various clans got here as fast as they could and gathered at the Mystic Thearch City.
…
Jiang Yi did not know about this movement on the Mystic Divine Mountain. Even if he did, he would scoff and pay no attention to it. As the guardian of the Mystic Divine Palace, Ao Lu could not be wrong. Even if the Mystic Divine Mountain did indeed have movements, none of these people would be able to ascend the mountain.
At this point, Jiang Yi was still in the Divine Sonar Region. In fact, he was hundreds of thousands of meters away from the place where he caused chaos back then, at the base of a huge mountain range. This mountain range was incredibly big, and a lot of demonic beasts were inside. There were even a couple of demon kings. Jiang Yi hid within hundreds of meters underneath the mountain range and dug a pit for himself. Then, he retrieved the Thearch Palace and entered it.
He had killed so many people from the Zhan Clan. He was sure that the Zhan Clan would activate their Demigods to chase after him. Thus, if he did not want to use Heaven Evasion, he had to hide inside the Thearch Palace for half a month. That was when the Blood Debt Seal would dissipate.
The most dangerous place to hide was, in fact, the safest!
He was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the battlefield. Before this, he had been walking toward the south. All the enemies would probably head south to look for him. The Thearch Palace that he had was a mystical place. In this space, even astrologers would not be able to lock in on his position. Jiang Yi believed that the Zhan Clan would have no way of using the Blood Debt Seal to track him down.
After Jiang Yi entered the Thearch Palace, he released his divine senses and sorcery every two hours to check everywhere within a fifteen-billion-meter radius. If Demigods were coming after him, he was prepared to use Heaven Evasion immediately.
“This is the Blood Debt Seal. The Zhan Clan’s Blood Debt Seal is indeed powerful. If I did not know of its existence, I would never have discovered that it was on me.”
Jiang Yi rubbed the back of his head as he leaned back in the Thearch Palace. He looked absolutely exhausted. Aura intent was present right behind him, but it was almost invisible. If one did not search thoroughly, they would not have discovered that it was there.
“Get some rest, Young Master!”
On either side of him sat two beauties—Tang Xue and Tang Yan. On seeing that Jiang Yi had his eyes open, one of them quickly leaned over to him and helped him to rub his temples. The other one brought over a cup of tea and fed him. Jiang Yi felt like he had become a distinguished old chief.
“Neither of you has to serve me like this. You’re not my slaves.” Jiang Yi laughed bitterly. He kept his divine senses activated, and this was draining him of his energy. He was beginning to feel better as Tang Xue kept rubbing his temples.
Tang Yan set the cup of tea down and smiled. Without saying a word, she bent down and helped massage Jiang Yi’s legs. Tang Xue gently pulled Jiang Yi’s upper body backward until he was lying down on her thighs. Then, she giggled. “Chief Yi, Tang Xue and Tang Yan are your slaves. We sisters will serve you for the rest of our lives.”
“Chief Yi…”
Jiang Yi felt slightly uncomfortable. He still looked like Yi San at this moment. After pondering for a brief second, he transformed into his original form with a flash of light, causing Tang Xue and Tang Yan to jump in fright.
“Don’t panic. I was making use of the Appearance Alteration Technique to change the way I look.”
Jiang Yi’s lips curled up slightly as he turned to face Tang Xue. At that exact moment, he saw two high peaks. He quickly turned away. “Sorry, I had to lie to you because I had no choice. My name is not Yi San—it is Jiang Yi. This is the way I really look.”
“Ah?”
The two sisters’ bodies trembled once again. Tang Xue was so shocked that her chest was rising and falling rapidly. They both looked at Jiang Yi, dumbfounded.
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi was getting even more uncomfortable now. He quickly sat up and faced the two of them. “Actually, I met you two before. When Tang Sheng first brought the two of you as a gift to me. At that time, my name was Hei Yi! I had urgent matters to tend to by then so I did not accept the both of you.”
“Uh?”
The two sisters were even more confused now. Tang Xue paused for a long while before she stuttered, “Young Master, you are famous across the entire continent. You’re the Chief Jiang who killed five Demigods of the Wu Clan at the base of Stupa Mountain?”
Jiang Yi confirmed, “That’s absolutely right!”
Plop!
The sisters exchanged a meaningful glance. Their eyes welled up, and tears streamed down their cheeks. Suddenly, they fell to their knees. Tang Xue looked extremely grateful as she said, “Your slave had been thinking that a man who would kill so many people from the Li Clan just to save the pair of us must be no simple man indeed. I did not think that you were Chief Jiang. We sisters had been saved by a famous and reputable legend. We… we can die without any regrets.”
“Am I that famous?” Jiang Yi tapped his nose, feeling embarrassed.
“Hehe!”
Tang Yan wiped the tears from her face and grinned. “Chief Jiang, you may not know this, but you are the most famous legend in the continent right now. If you had not come to Sin Island, the youths of the continent might all be looking up to you as their role models. The ladies think that you’re their dream man. Of course… even though you did end up going to Sin Island, many ladies from various clans still desire you and miss you. The Tang Clan itself has several ladies who admire you. Your story has even been written about by the poet Yin You.”
“I hardly read—don’t lie to me!” Jiang Yi rubbed his nose. He was half-suspicious of what they were telling him. “Do many ladies really admire me?”
“Pfff…”
Tang Xue laughed. “That’s right, my Chief Jiang! Just go to any great family clan and sneak into any lady’s room in the middle of the night. Then, tell them your name. My guess is that lady would not scream for help. Instead, she might even… make you happy?”
“What nonsense is this! Do you really think Chief Jiang is such a loose person?”
Jiang Yi’s expression changed immediately, and he looked angered. He glanced at Tang Xue and asked, “Would it really be that good?”
