Chapter 1411: : Black Rainstones

Chapter 1411: Black Rainstones

Jiang Yi opened the room restrictions as he walked out boldly. Xuanyuan Lingyan immediately jumped forward to close the door once again. She then squatted in a corner and cried for a long time. She was really afraid this time and would never dare to go up against Jiang Yi ever again. Jiang Yi now had a nude painting of her. It was also a painting that was extremely life-like. If this painting was ever circulated, she could only kill herself as a form of compensation to her clan.

After a while, she abruptly raised her head and opened her eyes wide. She had forgotten something: she was still not clothed, and she did not have her interspatial ring where she had clothes stored in as well. Without her clothes, she couldn't possibly walk out in the nude, right? Or hide in her room forever?

"Jiang Yi, I curse that you will die a terrible death!"

A loud voice filled with hatred rang out in the Demon-Killing Pavilion backyard as the few God Kings standing guard shivered. They exchanged stares, at a loss for what was to be done. No one knew what Jiang Yi had done again this time to Xuanyuan Lingyan, that she would hate him so.

Finally, Xuanyuan Lingyan tore off a corner of the tablecloth and wrapped it about herself. She then sent a voice transmission to the God Kings outside, for them to find a female housekeeper to send some clothes in. After changing into some clothing finally, she asked someone to remove the seal on her heavenly powers as—without delay—she immediately went to the Divine Eagle City and teleported away.

The Poison Spirit had betrayed her!

Xuanyuan Lingyan's greatest pillar of support was gone. As the Divine Eagle City and Divine Eagle Tribe both belonged to Jiang Yi now, she could be in danger at any moment—she might even be killed. She naturally chose to leave the minute she could and did not want to return here ever again.

...

"Young Lord, she has left!"

Not long after Xuanyuan Lingyan had gone, Poison Spirit floated into the Jiang Manor's backyard and reported to Jiang Yi. The Poison Spirit spoke, slightly worried. "Young Lord, don't you think this was a little too much? What if she reports this matter to her family? The Xuanyuan Clan would definitely be furious."

"What did I do?"

Jiang Yi smiled gleefully at Poison Spirit as the latter was stunned. He had been hiding within the Demon-Killing Pavilion backyard the whole time when Xuanyuan Lingyan had let out that hateful cry and had ordered for clothes to be brought to her. Thus, he had mistakenly thought that Jiang Yi had ruined Xuanyuan Lingyan.

At this moment—seeing the teasing look in Jiang Yi's eyes, the Poison Spirit finally understood. Jiang Yi had stayed in the room for a very short time; Jiang Yi was also a normal man and could not have only lasted for such a short time. The Poison Spirit grinned as he said, "What was wrong, Young Lord? Did you not think she was pretty? Lady Xuanyuan is a very famous beauty in the Earth Emanations Domain."

"I am not interested!"

Jiang Yi shrugged as he sighed and said, "I now have a secret of hers. She will definitely not report this matter to her clan. She will also not dare to plot against us anymore. Furthermore, she thinks that I am connected to Mo Lingqiu. Even if she reported this matter, it might not do her any good. In the end, only her reputation would be sullied."

"Uh?"

The Poison Spirit asked curiously, "You are not connected to Mo Lingqiu? Then, why did he make you the City Lord? The rumors out there all say that you are his relative."

"Let's not talk about all these."

Jiang Yi gestured as he continued, "You should not make any public appearances from now on and should remain unseen. Also, help me to go and find out where I can find heaven and earth special flames, golden hearthstones, black rainstones, and Tian Qi flowers. If you have any news about these things, report back to me immediately."

"Understood!"

The Poison Spirit flashed as he disappeared; Jiang Yi did not even know how he had left. Jiang Yi sat for a while as he teleported both Xiao Leng and Zhang Hai out. Xiao Leng was still unconscious; his injuries had been pretty severe. Once Zhang Hai appeared, he scanned the surroundings and happily realized he was back in the Divine Eagle City. He anxiously asked, "City Lord Jiang, my cousin and the others..."

"Dead!"

Jiang Yi said heavily as the ring on his finger lit up. He produced four interspatial rings as he tossed them to Zhang Hai, saying, "There are some treasures and divine roots inside these. Please go and distribute them as a form of compensation to Zhang Mei and the others."

Zhang Hai received the interspatial rings and scanned them, and then his expression changed. The interspatial rings contained many treasures and divine roots. These four interspatial rings belonged to the Xuanyuan Clan's third grandfather and others. Four Demon-Killing Battle Gods should have accumulated pretty much wealth and treasures over the years.

"Many thanks to the City Lord!"

Zhang Hai gratefully genuflected. Jiang Yi closed his eyes and said, "This does not amount to much. Zhang Mei and the others had died because of me. If I become someone important and powerful one day, I will make sure to take good care of their descendants."

"My Lord!"

Feeling Jiang Yi's sincerity, Zhang Hai was so touched he teared. He heavily bowed as he said, "My Lord is so chivalrous; how can we not give our lives for you?"

Jiang Yi motioned for Zhang Hai to be dismissed. He then brought Gu Mu, He Wei, and Commander Liu over to bring Xiao Leng down and recuperate. Before He Wei left the room, he looked at Jiang Yi who was slightly downcast and looked a little listless. He Wei also did not know what had happened to Jiang Yi. However, he had a feeling that Jiang Yi was growing more and more distant from him.

Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Yi had grown more distant. It was just that He Wei was thinking that although he and Jiang Yi had ascended together, he was a commander's son and felt that he was more superior to Jiang Yi and the rest. He Wei had also thought that his progress would be faster than Jiang Yi and the other newcomers.

Only how little time had gone by?

Jiang Yi had not only become a City Lord, but he also had a Heaven Emanations Realm martial artist in tow. This time, the Heaven Emanations martial artist had been severely wounded and was now unconscious; Jiang Yi, however, had returned successfully?

Seeing Jiang Yi's face, He Wei knew that things were not as simple as he had imagined. He Wei felt as if the matters that Jiang Yi was dealing with were too complicated; it wasn't something he could handle. It even... wasn't something his father could. Hence, He Wei felt a little lost at this time.

"Right, He Wei!"

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of something as he motioned, "Can you help me to ask the Assistant Pavilion Lord if the array around the Stellarsky Domain has been successful? Ask him to bade some Hunting Envoys to take a look."

"Alright!"

He Wei smiled lightly. However, after he turned, his face was filled with bitterness. Jiang Yi's tone was exactly the same as before. However, Jiang Yi had probably experienced so many things and was handling things way more complicated. His tone now naturally carried a sliver of arrogance. He Wei did not feel repulsed by this. In fact, he actually felt that this was justified. He Wei walked out and stared at the two blood moons in the sky, telling himself that he could either get used to being Jiang Yi's subordinate in the future or leave and find his father.

After everyone had left, Jiang Yi scanned the Heaven-Swallowing Beast within his Fire Spirit Pearl. Seeing that it was still sleeping and ignoring Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi sat there in a daze.

Although this mission hadn't been successful, Jiang Yi had gained much from it. However, he felt even more lonely and desolate. Thinking about Yi Piaopiao who was being pressured under Saint Spirit Mountain and Jiang Xiaonu far away in the Ink Feather Mystic Realm, Jiang Yi's heart was aching.

After experiencing this recent event, Jiang Yi had become more mature and steady. He was no longer as rash as before and did not immediately head to the Demon-Killing Pavilion to receive a new mission. This past mission had been a trap. The more he wanted to do something, the easier it was for his enemies to find loopholes to kill him.

Just like that, Jiang Yi sat in his courtyard to cultivate silently. This time, he was more focused; and his Mighty God Technique cultivation had actually made good progress. Jiang Yi did not bother about anything happening outside as he sat here quietly to cultivate for a few days. He did this until a wisp of wind gently rang out within his room.

Only Poison Spirit could enter so quietly without sound and without emitting an aura. This wind sound had probably been purposely released by Poison Spirit. If not, Jiang Yi would not have heard a single thing announcing the Poison Spirit's arrival. Jiang Yi did not open his eyes. He just peacefully opened his mouth and asked, "Poison Spirit, what did you find?"

"I can't hide anything from Young Lord!"

Poison Spirit's voice rang out. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, "I found a heaven and earth special flame. It is within a special place near the Blue Eagle Prefecture. Also, I have received word about a black rainstone. In the Crazed God Castle near the Blue Eagle Prefecture, an auction for it will start a day from now."

"Auction?"

Jiang Yi's eyes opened. He did not bother about the heaven and earth special flame for the moment; those flames were not going to run off on their own. He focused on the black rainstones as he asked, "How much divine roots do you think will be needed to buy it?"

The Poison Spirit laughed bitterly and said, "At least five million..."

"Five million?"

Jiang Yi's face darkened. If he had not given the four interspatial rings to Zhang Hai, he probably would have had enough divine roots. Now, he was severely lacking...
