Chapter 746: Human-Shaped Treasure Demon
“Can’t find them?”
In Sky Thunder City, Lu Lin smashed a purple gold platform with rage. That purple gold platform was forged entirely with purple gold but was smashed into smithereens by a single palm of his.
It was the tenth day, and the near 1000 Heaven Monarchs had already searched the nearby ten million miles radius but still couldn’t see Jiang Yi’s shadow. Lu Ping had no choice but to return and report, which caused Lu Lin’s restrained rage to completely explode.
He yelled out hysterically. “Uncle Fan, send a message back to Uncle Rong back in the clan. Ask him to mobilize the Lu Clan’s intelligence hall and track them. Lu Ping, bring me all the information you have on Jiang Yi and others. Even if they escaped to the corners of the world, I must find them. Otherwise, I—Lu Lin—will not be able to continue establishing myself in the Gods Bestow Tribe.”
Lu Ping’s eyes contracted. If the Lu Clan was to make use of the intelligence department, would they actually find out that Jiang Yi was actually selling thunder stones with her? However, Lu Lin was already extremely mad from this matter so she didn’t dare to say anything else. She simply hoped that Qian Wanguan had been discreet enough and didn’t leave any evidence behind.
“Someone, go seize all of Lone Wolf’s subordinates. Interrogate them and find out about Lone Wolf’s information.”
Lu Lin turned around and gave another order which caused Lu Ping’s heart to shudder. If those people couldn’t withstand the pressure had spat out all the information pertaining to Jiang Yi and her, she would be done for. She quickly responded, “Young Master Lin, I am familiar with Lone Wolf’s subordinates. I will send my men to round them up for interrogation.”
“Why aren’t you doing it now?”
Lu Lin glared at Lu Ping. Had Lu Ping’s backer not been a Lu Clan’s elder, he would have already killed Lu Ping ten days ago. Dozens of young masters and ladies were residing in the city lord residence, and he was utterly humiliated.
“Cousin Brother!”
After Lu Ping and the others dismissed themselves, Lu Yu—who was sitting by the side—suddenly spoke. “If you want to capture this person, I advise you to contact the Young Masters and Ladies from the other clans. Since this person has escaped, he certainly wouldn’t dare to stay in the White Dragon Archipelago. He might have escaped to the Blue Dragon Archipelago in the south or the Green Dragon Archipelago in the north. Perhaps… the Gods Bestow Island!”
“That’s right!”
Lu Lin’s eyes flashed with cold light as he said, “I will go contact the Young Masters from the other clans to help track him down. This bastard is too wicked. How could he actually escape under the eyes of so many people? Could he truly know how to escape to heaven or down into the earth?”
Young Master Lin was cursing as he strutted out. Lu Yu’s beautiful eyes flickered consistently while her cherry lips opened slightly and muttered, “Red hair? Escaping to heaven and into the earth? Heaven Evasion divine skill? The surname of Jiang? It is rumored that he even possesses a pseudo-divine artifact—red battle armor? Could he be… Jiang Yi?”
As the no.1 young lady of the Lu Clan, Lu Yu’s expectation was set higher than anyone else. A normal male wouldn’t even enter her sights, but Jiang Yi’s name wasn’t a regular name!
She had a detailed collection of information of all the elite young masters in the Gods Bestow Tribe. She was also very clever as she knew that she wouldn’t be able to decide her own marriage as her partner had to have a matching status. Hence, she gathered all the information of those reputable young masters, which would allow her to make a choice in advance.
Jiang Yi’s name had been very famous for a period of time in the Gods Bestow Tribe as the 13 Clans of Sin Island were more than happy to hear the Nine Thearchs Clans suffering humiliation. Jiang Yi was very young, and his name was already renowned in the East Imperial Continent. This made many of the young ladies in the 13 Clans pay attention to him. Thus, when Lu Yu obtained a portion of the information that was related to Jiang Yi, she immediately had suspicions.
“Sigh…”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu’s eyes turned dimmed as Jiang Yi had thoroughly offended Lu Lin and could no longer stay in the Lu Clan. Even if Lone Wolf was that Jiang Yi, he would only be an enemy.
Furthermore… Jiang Yi might be very famous in the East Imperial Continent, but his status was still not worthy for her.
…
When Lu Lin made use of the Lu Clan’s influence, the entire White Dragon Archipelago was in an uproar as many of the factions that relied on Lu Clan had all mobilized. The entire White Dragon Archipelago had been turned upside down.
At the same moment, there were countless people in the nearby archipelagoes that had mobilized. Jiang Yi’s whereabouts were exposed in just two weeks later as the Zither Moon Merchant Association had sold out Jiang Yi’s information.
However—
Jiang Yi and his group had switched to another Heaven Fate Ship that belonged to other merchant associations and entered the Black Dragon City. The Black Dragon City was too massive, and when Jiang Yi and his group entered the city, they didn’t even pop a bubble.
Moreover, the information stated that Qian Wanguan had purchased three Illusion Moon Stones at Zither Fort. Hence, no one knew what appearance they had after they entered the city. If they wanted to do a detailed search… the Black Dragon City had a few hundred million populations. No one would be able to conduct such a search unless it was the Gu Clan Patriarch who dictated the Black Dragon Archipelago.
Even if the Gu Clan Patriarch was to give the orders, countless people were traveling in and out of the Black Dragon City every single day. If Jiang Yi and his people had used the Illusion Moon Stone to disguise themselves, who would be able to track them?
After searching for an entire month, Lu Lin ordered everyone to stop the search. The Gods Bestow Tribe was too huge, and if Jiang Yi didn’t take the initiative to appear or expose his tracks, there was no way to find him.
Yang Dong, Niu Deng, and the others were released after suffering some physical torture. Lu Ping didn’t dare to act recklessly as she was afraid Jiang Yi might receive news if they were to be tortured to death. When that happened, Jiang Yi might just reveal all the information of them selling thunder stones. Jiang Yi was already being pursued by the Lu Clan so it didn’t really matter, but she was going to be in a miserable state. The Lu Clan rules were strict. It was needless to say that she would be executed, but her lineage might also be implicated.
After Lu Lin and Lu Yu left, those young masters and ladies all rode their flying carriages and returned. The incident of Lu Lin and Lone Wolf had quickly spread out throughout the White Dragon Archipelago. The rest of the young masters and ladies from the 13 Clans were also treating this as a great joke.
Lu Lin was extremely sullen, but he had no other way. He had no choice but to silently sent out a statement to the various influential merchant associations. If they were to discover Jiang Yi’s whereabouts, he would reward 100 million celestial stones. If they could kill him, the reward would be 300 million celestial stones. If they captured him alive, the reward would be 500 million celestial stones!
Once this news was out, there was a huge commotion as the various mountain bandit legions had also received Jiang Yi and his group’s information. Especially Jiang Yi’s Thunder Fire, Feng Luan’s darkness dao pattern, and Jiang Xiaonu’s Dream Ripple Dress. All this information had been disseminated, and Jiang Yi and his groups had all turned into human-shaped treasure demons that were filled with celestial stones.
In fact!
Lu Lin had also suspected Jiang Yi’s identity as the information he had collected had all matched Jiang Yi’s profile. The same red hair, the same age, the same appearance strength, the same Fire Cloud Armor, and most importantly… Heaven Evasion. For Jiang Yi to suddenly reach the Blue Dragon Archipelago, there was no other explanation apart from the Heaven Evasion divine skill.
Despite the fact that he had guessed Jiang Yi’s identity—despite the fact that Jiang Yi had once humiliated the Nine Thearchs Clans’ young masters, Lu Lin’s determination to kill Jiang Yi had remained unchanged. Since when did he have to suffer such humiliation from the time he was born until now?
Jiang Yi was currently in Purple Jade City of the Purple Dragon Archipelago!
Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan had made a very meticulous arrangement as they switched several Heaven Fate Ships that belonged to several merchant associations. They then spent a generous sum of celestial stones to utilize the teleportation array in Black Dragon City. At the same time, they made use of the Illusion Moon Stone to change their appearance and laid a low profile all the way until they reached the small Purple Jade City in the central part of the Purple Dragon Archipelago.
Qian Wanguan had already used the celestial stones to exchange for plenty of merits, and it only cost 100,000 merits to purchase a courtyard in the Purple Jade City, which was just a drop in the ocean for them.
After everyone entered the main hall, they activated the restriction of the courtyard and never took a step outside. The city had strict rules that no one was to scout another individual’s courtyard—not even the guards of the city were allowed to do it. If anyone was discovered to be doing so, they would be executed without negotiation.
Jiang Yi took out the Thearch Palace and placed it in the courtyard. He used Qian Wanguan’s illusion stone to set up an illusion zone so even if someone was to scout inside, they wouldn’t be able to discover anything unless they looked very carefully. He then went into the Thearch Palace with Feng Luan and the others while leaving the Golden Flood Dragon to guard outside by himself.
The Golden Flood Dragon was seated near the Thearch Palace, and if there were any situations, he would immediately notify Jiang Yi while the latter would use the Heaven Evasion to escape.
“Feng’er, all of you will stay here. Xiaonu, go into seclusion and cultivate. Wanguan, you should also continue to comprehend the soul spirit dao pattern shards. We will stay in this city for a year, and after all the commotion is over, we will figure out another method to get more celestial stones and head to Gods Bestow City!”
After Jiang Yi gave his instructions, he entered a room to seclude himself and cultivate. He had to fuse that high-grade dao pattern before his memory of the dao presence in the thunder mountains vanished.
“The thunder mountains had been baptized by the thunderbolts of hundreds of thousands of years. It had naturally produced a dao presence. I wonder how powerful it would be after this high-grade dao pattern has been fused.”
Jiang Yi muttered with an expectant expression and closed his eyes to enter a meditative state.
