Chapter 1381: We’re Showing You Respect, But Don’t Let It Get to Your Head
Jiang Yi observed for a while and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the little beast. Then, he decided not to dwell on it any further. He did not have much time left. Once he left the Primitive Mystic Realm, he would not know when would be the next time he would come back. It would be quite difficult for him to obtain enough battle merits for it based on his skills alone.
He had the right to enter into this place twice a year, but a year here was akin to a hundred years in the Lower Domain. He could wait, but Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, Su Ruoxue, and the others might not. Just thinking about them waiting for him to return to the Stellarsky Domain made Jiang Yi tense up. He felt like he could not relax, even for a second.
While he cultivated his heavenly powers and Power of Heaven and Earth, he focused his mind on realizing the Mighty God Technique. He wanted to use that as a foundation for realizing the first level of the Phenomenal Stage Realm.
He shut off all his senses and isolated himself, so that many people could not send a voice transmission to him even if they tried. That was how they understood that this brat was not there to sell anything. Some people began to secretly guess Jiang Yi’s identity, but there were more than ten thousand domains in the Earth Domain itself. Each one had a Demon-Killing Pavilion branch. None of them knew which domain Jiang Yi was from and much less who Jiang Yi was!
That was true for all except one person!
In the left corner sat a young, beautiful woman who was a peak-stage Demon-Killing Battle King. Once she saw that Jiang Yi was not making deals with anyone, she heaved a long sigh. Her eyes filled with excitement. Only she knew who Jiang Yi was because she was from the Earth Emanations Domain as well. She had heard of him before.
Jiang Yi, the City Lord of Divine Eagle City? Good!
She looked at Jiang Yi, clearly interested. Then, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate. Half a day later, her time was up. She got transported out, where she studied Jiang Yi closely once again. A slight smile appeared on her lips.
Jiang Yi did not notice this. Instead, he remained in seclusion, training. For some reason, he felt like time passed exceptionally quickly in here. However, it was not so in reality. It only felt that way because it was way too easy for one to be caught up with training in a place like this and forget that time was passing. Jiang Yi remained in deep seclusion and was only transported out when his three days were up.
By the time he shook his head and opened his eyes, he realized that he was already in Divine Eagle Tribe’s Demon-Killing Pavilion. Lu Hong had calculated the time correctly and was already standing there, waiting for him. Once Jiang Yi regained consciousness, he smiled and asked, “Hunting Envoy, did you achieve any huge realizations?”
“There isn’t any!”
There was a hint of shame in Jiang Yi’s eyes. Nevertheless, he did manage to cultivate his heavenly powers significantly. He was now well into the God General Realm. It was a pity that he had not made much progress with the Mighty God Technique. If he had been given just a bit more time—even just half a day more, he would probably be nearly done.
“Uh…”
A couple of black lines appeared on Lu Hong’s forehead. Was there a problem with this Young Master’s brain? He used the precious opportunity to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm just so he could cultivate his heavenly powers? There were so many one-hundred-fold and one-thousand-fold secret cultivation rooms in the Demon-Killing Pavilion, but he decided to go outside and train his heavenly powers instead? If not for Jiang Yi’s special identity, Lu Hong would have given the man two slaps across his face. Only retards would do something as stupid as what Jiang Yi did.
Xiao Leng’s ugly face twitched. It was obvious that he felt incredulous as well. The Earth Emanations Pavilion had a Primitive Mystic Realm, too. The conditions one had to fulfill in order to enter were extremely tough. He knew full well how rare it was for one to have the opportunity to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm. Yet, this brat could enter it twice. All of them looked at Jiang Yi, feeling deeply as if he should have done better. In their hearts, the contempt and dissatisfaction they felt towards him increased significantly as well.
Jiang Yi, however, did not think that it was a waste of time; and he ignored the mocking glares he received. The people inside the Primitive Mystic Realm all looked at him the same way as well. He was used to it. He got to his feet and went to search up more information on the Primitive Spiritual Treasure. Suddenly, Lu Hong was yanked back to reality. “Oh, right, Hunting Envoy, the Pavilion Lord is here. She says she wants to see you!”
“Xuanyuan Lingyan?”
Jiang Yi started slightly. That woman despised him to the very core, and yet she wanted to see him? Did she not already go to Earth Emanations City? How did she return so quickly? Could she have returned for his Primitive Spiritual Treasure?
A look of caution flashed across Jiang Yi’s face. He did not know a single person in the Primitive Mystic Realm, but who knew if there were people from Earth Emanations Domain there? Still, whatever would come would come. Jiang Yi could not run away from it. He could only grit his teeth and say, “Lead the way.”
Lu Hong led Jiang Yi to the first corridor on the left. If one walked through the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s backyard through there, they would arrive at Xuanyuan Lingyan’s residence. They walked for several hundred meters and arrived at a back garden. Inside, there were three individual castles. Two Demon-Killing God Kings stood guard outside the castle in the middle.
These two people are not commanders of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. It looks like they’re Xuanyuan Lingyan’s personal bodyguards.
Jiang Yi silently made a guess. The two God Kings by the door looked like they were in the Demon-Killing Battle God Realm. It looked like Xuanyuan Lingyan had quite a noble background.
The two God Kings at the door stopped the group. Lu Hong said something to them before a cool, crisp voice sounded. “The Hunting Envoy is here? Allow him in. Lu Hong, bring Lord Xiao Leng to have a cup of tea while I speak to the Hunting Envoy privately.”
Xiao Leng frowned, but he did not leave. His duty was to protect Jiang Yi. Although they were in the Demon-Killing Pavilion, he could not guarantee that Xuanyuan Lingyan would not suddenly go crazy. Xiao Hong had said this himself: If anything happened to Jiang Yi, he could forget about going home.
“Lord Xiao Leng, please!”
Lu Hong gestured towards a side hall just beside them. Xiao Leng turned towards Jiang Yi who waved his hand. “Go ahead. This is the Demon-Killing Pavilion. What could happen to me?”
Since Jiang Yi had spoken, it would not be right for Xiao Leng to stand his ground. One of the God Kings opened the gate for Jiang Yi to walk through. Jiang Yi took huge strides in. There was a beautiful main hall inside, decorated nicely but not too extravagantly. Still, it looked refreshing, clean, and classy.
Buzz!
Once Jiang Yi entered, the restrictions around the hall sealed up. Jiang Yi scanned his surroundings, his expression hardening. There were only two people inside there. Apart from Xuanyuan Lingyan, there was another young woman. He saw this woman back in the Primitive Mystic Realm!
Indeed, nothing good was going to come out of this.
Jiang Yi sighed. Xuanyuan Lingyan got to her feet, forcing a smile. She introduced Jiang Yi. “Hunting Envoy, this is my older cousin, Xuanyuan Shanshan. She wanted to look for you.”
“Nonsense…”
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. If anything, these young ladies would not even be bothered to spare him a glance.
Xuanyuan Shanshan got to her feet and smiled slightly, resembling a hundred blooming flowers. This lady was obviously much more feminine than Xuanyuan Lingyan. Just her smile alone was warm and welcoming. She made the people around her feel flattered to their very bones. In a gentle and soft voice, she said, “Shanshan greets the Hunting Envoy. I heard from Lingyan that the Hunting Envoy is young but powerful. She said that you resemble a dragon or phoenix among commoners. Now, I see that she was not exaggerating.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi laughed mildly. This Xuanyuan Shanshan had seen him just a while ago, and yet she was putting on a front by saying all of these things? Jiang Yi could not be bothered to talk more nonsense with her. Instead, he cut right to the chase. “Young Mistress Xuanyuan, if you have something important to say, please feel free to say it.”
Xuanyuan Shanshan nodded and said, “The Hunting Envoy is indeed no-nonsense. Shanshan will not bother hiding my intentions then. I have come to make a deal with you. I really like something small that you possess. If Young Master would allow me to have it my way, you can name any condition that you might have. I’m willing to offer divine roots, battle merits, any role you might want, or… any person!”
“Eh?”
There was a strange look on Xuanyuan Lingyan’s face. She turned to Jiang Yi, shocked, as if wondering how someone like Jiang Yi could possess anything that good. How could Xuanyuan Shanshan be prepared to even offer up her body?
Jiang Yi relaxed. Xuanyuan Shanshan did not dare to leak the information, for fear that the guardians of the Primitive Mystic Realm would give orders to have her killed. From the shocked expression on Xuanyuan Lingyan’s face, Jiang Yi could tell this. He became much more confident. As long as Xuanyuan Shanshan feared the guardians of the Primitive Mystic Realm, he could be sure that she would not do anything stupid.
Thus, Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and then said seriously, “Young Mistress Shanshan, I’m sorry. I am not interested in selling anything at the moment. If I do decide to sell it, I will look for you for sure. I’m quite tired now. I’ll take my leave!”
Once he said this, Jiang Yi turned to leave. Xuanyuan Lingyan’s expression hardened at once. She jumped to her feet and said, “Jiang Yi, we’re showing you respect, but don’t let it get to your head! Do you really think you are that important?”
