Chapter 1428: Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Special Envoy
“…”
Jiang Yi was speechless, seeing Young Mistress He the way she was now. He always thought that she was a reserved, well-bred young lady. He never expected that she would make such bold moves today. Xiao Hong even said that she was a famous hussy of Earth Emanations City? If other people had told him that, he would never have believed them.
However, thinking about it further, this was quite normal. The He Clan had always been a clan of businessmen. A family clan like this would always put their own interests first. The Crazed God Castle has been allowed to do anything they want because of interests as well. A pure and refined lady turning into a little hussy for the sake of her family clan’s interests: that was quite understandable.
Before this, when Jiang Yi’s status was lowly, Young Mistress He did not even allow him to see her face. Now that he had become one of the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s favorites, it was understandable that Young Mistress He was taking the initiative to get together with him.
Jiang Yi already found Young Mistress He detestable at first. Now that he realized she was like this, he became even less interested in even looking at her. In a low voice, he said, “Thank you for your good intentions, Young Mistress He. Since they are at the General Pavilion, then I’ll trouble you to send someone to take those things to Divine Eagle City. Give me a figure on the divine roots. I will pay you for sure. I have something to tend to. Brother Jiutian, Young Mistress He, thank you for your hospitality.”
Jiang Yi stood up, and Xiao Hong followed suit. Both Jiutian Ze and Young Mistress He exchanged a meaningful glance. They knew that it would be impossible to try and get close to Jiang Yi in such a short time. There was no need to rush these things. Jiutian Ze nodded and said, “Since Brother Jiang has something to tend to, we will not hold you back any further. When Brother Jiang has more time in the future, do come to Blue Eagle City to look for us. We will find something fun to entertain you with, and I promise you will be satisfied.”
“Okay, deal!”
Jiang Yi cupped his hands and then flew out of Crazed God Castle together with Xiao Hong. They did not even stop at Blue Eagle Mountain this time. Instead, they went straight to Blue Eagle City and teleported to Divine Eagle City. Xiao Hong thickened his skin and followed Jiang Yi all the way back, on the pretext that he was going to visit Xiao Leng. Jiang Yi felt bad rejecting him, too.
Once they arrived back at Divine Eagle City, Jiang Yi found many people inside the city to his surprise. There was a long line outside Jiang Residence, too.
Xiao Hong scanned the surroundings and smiled, saying, “Jiang Yi, you have become a famous man in Earth Emanations Domain. I’m guessing that these people are the envoys sent here by all the great and small family clans. You don’t have to mind them; they’re all subordinates here to send gifts! Heh heh… they must be afraid that you would cause trouble for them, and they don’t dare to provoke you so they’re trying to get on your good side.”
“I see…”
Jiang Yi did not get overly pleased with himself or arrogant. Instead, he felt slightly mocked and uncomfortable.
He once counted on no one but himself to succeed in Stellarsky Domain. When he arrived at the peak, things like that happened to him as well. However, at that time, he just smiled and let it pass. Now, he became a famous man in Earth Emanations Domain because of the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s power. To him, this was all fake glory. He did not earn this. This was what he hated the most.
Thus, he remained expressionless as he entered Jiang Residence. He did not meet a single person but asked Gu Mu and Commander Liu to meet them on his behalf. At first, he wanted to reject all the gifts. However, Xiao Hong stopped him from doing something so stupid. If he rejected the gifts, he would be rejecting the givers. Those family clans would take it to heart.
Jiang Yi went into the backyard, not bothering about whatever was going on outside. He led Xiao Hong to see Xiao Leng who was still recuperating. After all the time that had passed, Xiao Leng had already recovered significantly. He no longer had difficulty moving about. Xiao Hong held Xiao Leng’s hand warmly and kept calling him ‘Ninth Brother’. Even Xiao Leng felt shocked and pampered.
After sending Xiao Hong off, Jiang Yi went into seclusion.
Whatever happened in Earth Emanations City caused him to feel like he needed to become more powerful urgently. Without any skills, his fate would be in the hands of others. Just one word from the Qin Clan could determine his life and death.
Although it was safe for him to be in Earth Emanations Domain now, he could not remain there his whole life. He needed to get to Saint Spirit Domain to look for Yi Piaopiao. He had to go to Ink Feather Mystic Realm to look for Jiang Xiaonu. He would need great power to do all these things. Without power, he would be chased out of Saint Spirit Domain and Ink Feather Mystic Realm like a dog.
“Little Ferocious!”
His Fire Spirit Pearl flashed, and the little beast teleported out of it. There was no need to sell the Heavenly Yang Fury Flames anymore. In a low voice, he said, “You can consume those flames now, but let me refine them for you so that they can become more powerful. They’ll send two black rainstones and golden hearthstones here later, too. Then, you’ll have more food!”
The little beast’s eyes lit up as it jumped around excitedly on Jiang Yi. He kept sending voice transmission, saying: “Big Ferocious, you’re so good! Quick, help refine the flames. I want to eat, I want to eat…”
Jiang Yi activated the restrictions around the Technique Practicing Room. Bit by bit, he channeled the flames into the ninth star sphere. Then, he retrieved several Chaos Pearls and released a bit of flames, smelting them. Finally, he retrieved the Chaos Pearl from the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast he killed back in the Fire Abyss and refined it. The flames that he produced from this process would contain five different types of flames.
“How powerful would the new type of flames I refine from here be?”
Jiang Yi thought to himself. He scanned the five-colored flames in the ninth star sphere and carefully summoned a bit of it. The moment the flames appeared, all the restrictions around the Technique Practicing Room began to flash non-stop. Its energy kept being consumed.
“Little Ferocious, quick, eat it!”
Jiang Yi saw that something was amiss. If he allowed this to carry on, the Technique Practicing Room would probably be destroyed. He shouted at the little beast, and the Heaven-Swallowing Beast rushed towards the flames in a blur. In one mouthful, it swallowed the five-colored flames.
Creak-creak!
After the little beast swallowed the flames, its entire body glowed golden. It excitedly sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Big Ferocious, these flames are too powerful. I want to eat some more, please give me more…”
Jiang Yi carefully summoned the flames bit by bit, but the little beast could not handle any more after swallowing ten balls of flames. It turned into a burst of golden light and disappeared into the Fire Spirit Pearl, leaving behind one sentence before it fell into a deep sleep: “Big Ferocious, these flames have a lot of energy. I want to refine myself for a while…”
“If I use these five-colored flames to sneak an attack, I should be able to kill even Demon-Killing Battle Gods, right?”
Jiang Yi sighed sorrowfully. It’s a pity that he had too little Heavenly Yang Fury Flames. Heaven and earth special flames like these would only be produced once every few years. Once they were consumed, they would be gone. If he could refine them continuously, that would be good. He would have a terrifying attacking technique.
“Merged Flames? Merged? Compatibility? Various flames merged?”
As his mind worked, Jiang Yi’s eyes became more and more clouded over. The merging of various flames and the exposure to Earth Emanations Domain’s various special flames helped him to understand a little bit more about fire-elemental laws. This was his first time cultivating nomological mystical abilities!
Slowly, he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. There were various types of flames in his mind. Those flames kept merging together and separating and then merging together again. He was completely focused on the process. Once he started, he remained in that state for five Lower-Domain days.
The restrictions outside kept flashing. Jiang Yi suddenly got yanked back to reality. Frustrated, he opened his eyes. He forgot to tell Commander Liu and the others not to bother him. It was not easy for him to start realizing fire-elemental laws. If he had been allowed to continue, he would probably have obtained a breakthrough. What a pity…
“Forget it, I’ve already started on this flame-merging law. It’s a matter of time before I fully realize it!”
Jiang Yi got to his feet and opened the door of the Technique Practicing Room. Unsurprisingly, Commander Liu was standing outside. The latter smiled apologetically and said, “City Lord, I’m sorry! I did not mean to disturb you while you were in seclusion, but the Special Envoy of Demon-Killing Pavilion is here!”
“Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Special Envoy?”
Images of Di Ming appeared in his mind. For some reason, his heart began to stir. He quickly walked out with big strides. As he walked, he asked, “What’s the name of the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Special Envoy? What’s his role in the General Pavilion?”
Commander Liu scratched his head and said awkwardly, “It is… Xuanyuan Lingyan!”
