The comprehension this time was entirely different from the previous cases!

It was unknown if it was because Jiang Yi had refined plenty of thunder stones—which allowed his body to be filled with the power of thunder and lightning, or it was because Jiang Yi had subdued the Thunder Fire and had been blasted by the thunder and lightning in it. This time, when he entered the Union of Heaven and Man state, he felt that the trace of the dao pattern was much clearer.

He might still not be able to see it or feel it, but he could truly feel it much clearer. He wasn’t in a hurry to catch that trace of dao presence. Instead, he silenced his mind and carefully sensed it little by little.

Thunder mountains!

This was the core of the Sky Thunder Island; it was the core of the Thunder Gathering Array. Why were the thunder mountains able to absorb thunderbolts? Why was it able to produce thunder stones? Why could it produce Thunder Fire? All these were a secret.

It was unknown how long had the thunder mountains been in existence. It had been blasted by the thunderbolts for so many years, and it was still standing strong. It was needless to say that there was an extremely powerful dao pattern contained in the thunder mountains. Jiang Yi didn’t have to completely comprehend this powerful dao pattern as he simply needed to catch a little of the dao presence which would be beneficial to him. He would at least be able to comprehend a type of low-grade thunder-attribute dao pattern.

Tonight was also a dusky night with a new moon and sparse stars. The sea wind turned into heat waves which engulfed the island. Thunder Fire lit up and filled up the thunder mountains like floating lotus lanterns, making it look very strangely charming.

The night was long, but it felt short when one was cultivating.

During daybreak, Jiang Yi helplessly opened his eyes. This dao pattern was truly hard to comprehend. Although he felt he could catch that dao presence at any moment, it was always lacking that final push. It was a night without any accomplishment.

The Thunder Fire in the thunder mountains surged and vanished into the mountains swiftly. There were plenty of thunder stones on the floor that was glittering with blue light. Jiang Yi didn’t go and collect them as he was already a chief, and there were rules for the collection of the thunder stones. It wouldn’t be proper for him to go collect them anymore.

When he felt that people were approaching from the distance, his hands flashed with white light as the Thearch Palace appeared in the air while he entered the palace in a flash.

Jiang Xiaonu was seated in the grand hall and cultivating. Her entire body was enveloped in a pale green light while her charming little face was illuminated by green light, making it particularly beautiful and captivating. Jiang Yi looked at Xiaonu with pampering love and sat cross-legged beside her to continue cultivating his essence force and comprehending sorcery arts.

Just like this, Jiang Yi would enter the Thearch Palace to cultivate in the day, and he would come out to comprehend the dao presence in the thunder mountains during the night. Recently, the Sky Thunder City was very peaceful as it required rest and to stabilize after a huge battle. This way, the various chiefs would be able to gain the most benefits, and no one would dare to create a disturbance.

Time passed like flowing water, and a month had passed in the blink of the eye.

Jiang Yi had been in the nearby surroundings of the thunder mountains and didn’t even return to the city. Qian Wanguan came over once to report while Qing Yu and Feng Luan visited once as well. When the duo came over and met Jiang Yi, they had the pleasure of close intimacy in the Thearch Palace before they returned with satisfaction.

The city was still very peaceful, and the only thing worth mentioning was the increase of newcomers in the city. It was said that the hedonistic descendants of two clans from White Dragon City were in conflict. As a result… they couldn’t hold themselves back and started a battle inside the city.

The Lu Clan Head was greatly infuriated and had ordered for both the clan heads to be executed, and all their clansmen to be seized and segregated to the various service locations to serve for ten years.

There was also a mountain bandit corps that accidentally plundered a merchant group that belonged to the Lu Clan. Although there weren’t huge losses, the Lu Clan were one of the rulers of the Gods Bestow Tribe; and how could their authority be undermined? Finally, the three bosses of the mountain bandit corps were all killed while 40 to 50,000 mountain bandits were seized and made to serve for 30 years.

Jiang Yi didn’t really bother about such things as it was a good thing to have newcomers. With Big Sister Bell, Chief Leng, and the others around, those newcomers wouldn’t be able to do anything huge. Even if they were to cause a disturbance, it would only be for a short moment; and they would ultimately have to join the various forces obediently. Otherwise, they would only be waiting for death.

Just as Jiang Yi expected, once the clansmen from the two clans and the members of the mountain bandit corps entered the city, they wanted to take the remaining two chief positions. Chief Leng and the others naturally wouldn’t let them rise up so easily.

Thus, during this period of time, some battles occurred outside the city every day. The flames of the battle had yet to extend towards the thunder mountains. Chief Li, Chief Hei, Chief Ying, and the others all took turns to fight and had completely suppressed the overweening attitude of the two clans. Only the leader of the mountain bandit corps was not convinced and still wanted to rise up as a chief.

The affairs in the city had Chief Leng and the others to handle, and if it wasn’t working, there was Big Sister Bell, right? As long as the battles didn’t reach him, Jiang Yi didn’t bother about it. Every day, apart from cultivating, he would be comprehending dao patterns and had rather carefree days.

Two days later…!

As Jiang Yi was cultivating his essence force, he suddenly felt his body shudder as a jade token in his belongings had been shattered. He exited out from the Union of Heaven and Man state and scanned outside with his divine senses. He locked it onto a Heaven Monarch on alert and transmitted a message: “What happened?”

“Chief Jiang!”

The Heaven Monarch bowed with respect and replied, “The boss of the mountain bandit corps, Bu He, is seeking a meeting. He said that he wants to make a deal with you.”

“A deal?”

Jiang Yi’s brows raised up as he transmitted another message: “Get him to go look for Chief Qian. In the future, go find Chief Qian for such things and don’t come and disturb me unless necessary.”

“Understood!”

The Heaven Monarch on the outside accepted his orders with cupped hands and flew into the distance while Jiang Yi withdrew his divine senses and continued to cultivate. However, not one minute after, the restriction of the Thearch Palace radiated, causing Jiang Yi to open his eyes. He raged as he extended out his divine senses and noticed that the Heaven Monarch was back. The Heaven Monarch reported helplessly, “Chief Jiang, Bu He insisted on meeting with you, and he is currently leading his men to the nearby vicinity of the thunder mountains. He said that we do not have many people, and we should split out half the territory with him.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were filled with chilling light as he was utterly infuriated. He flashed out of the Thearch Palace and asked in a solemn voice, “How many people do that have? How is their strength?”

“They have plenty of people…”

The Heaven Monarch subordinate reported, “They originally had over 60 Heaven Monarchs, quite a fair bit of them had perished in the battles with Chief Li and Big Brother Dong’s men. Right now, they have around 40 Heaven Monarchs, and they have about close to 10,000 Vajra Realm subordinates. Bu He is even a middle-staged Heaven Monarch! Chief Jiang… this matter is a little strange.”

“It is indeed strange. Someone must be plotting behind the scenes.”

Jiang Yi sneered. Chief Leng and Chief Li must be unconvinced. Since they didn’t dare to provoke openly, they plotted to instigate Bu He to come and snatch Jiang Yi’s territories. They would then be able to watch in safety and reap the rewards afterward while Jiang Yi and Bu He’s forces would suffer.

“Go back and bring more men!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “Bring all the Heaven Monarchs here. In addition, take my token and go look for Big Sister Bell. Ask her to transfer her Heaven Monarchs here as well. Since this Bu He isn’t tactful, I will beat some sense into him.”

The opposition had 40 over Heaven Monarchs and only one middle-staged Heaven Monarch, which wasn’t even a threat to Jiang Yi. Originally, he could suppress them personally, but if the boss went out to battle immediately, he would lose his face.

Big Sister Bell was the no.1 individual in the city and had the most Heaven Monarchs, with over 60. This was when she didn’t want to take in so many people. Otherwise, Chief Leng and the others would never be able to recruit so many Heaven Monarchs. After adding Big Sister Bell’s Heaven Monarchs and Jiang Yi’s men, there would be close to a hundred Heaven Monarchs, which was enough to crush this mountain bandit corps.

The Heaven Monarch subordinate’s eyes lit up as he flew rapidly. Martial artists were filled with hot blood and always desired a great battle. Furthermore, after every victory, there would be countless spoils of war. Wasn’t this mountain bandit corps once a large legion in this sea region? That meant that they were rich.
