Thirty minutes later, the servant girl walked out. She gazed at Ba Dao and Long Ye apathetically as she spoke, “Young Lady said that she understood the reason why you had come. However, she is comprehending a type of dao pattern recently. She doesn’t have the time to care about such complicated stuff. Wait a few months before informing her again.”
“A few months later?”
The corner of Ba Dao’s mouth twitched. Why would they bother to seek an audience with Big Sister Bell if they knew they would need to wait for a few more months? They had investigated it thoroughly. Jiang Yi had only handed over five months worth of thunder stones, and he would have to return five months later. When that time comes, they would be able to stop him at the city gate easily.
The reason why they wanted to behead Jiang Yi as quickly as possible was due to their reputation. More importantly, it was because of their subordinates’ morale.
Once the subordinates’ morale had fallen apart, it would be hard to lead them. These years, they had finally managed to stabilize the situation in the Sky Thunder City. Yet, a Lone Wolf had appeared to challenge their authority. Perhaps, after a period of time, there might be a ‘Fire Wolf’ or even ‘Brutal Wolf’ that would catch on with the trend. Once their backyard started to catch fire, their men would start defecting; and the Sky Thunder City would inevitably turn chaotic.
Chief Long hesitated for a moment before replying in a heavy tone, “Lone Wolf, that brat had been plundering our thunder stones every day during dawn. In a way, he was looking down on Big Sister Bell. Since someone dared to challenge our Big Sister Bell’s authority, we should kill them off. We mustn’t prolong this any longer…”
Chief Long’s voice wasn’t very loud or soft. However, he had used some kind of special ability that caused whatever he said to resonate throughout the surroundings clearly, causing many people to hear it as well. Big Sister Bell, who was in the other courtyard, would definitely hear it as well. In fact… he was doing so in order to let Big Sister Bell hear of it.
The servant girl also knew that these chief were not going to leave just like that. However, how could she possibly dare to defy Big Sister Bell’s will? Just when she was about to ask them to leave, a faint voice rang out from the courtyard: “All of you should just return. I’m not going to interfere in this matter. All of you should think of a way yourself!”
The voice sounded very gentle and soft, making it extremely pleasant to listen to. However, the tone of it was very firm, as if she would not tolerate anyone to question her decision. Chief Long, Ba Dao, and the others glanced at one another. They could only sigh and leave grudgingly.
Only after everyone had left did the maid go back in while swaying her well-developed buttocks. She looked at the gorgeous young lady who was drinking tea leisurely in the hall as she inquired in doubts, “Young Lady, why aren’t you making a move to kill that brat? For the past two days, the number of thunder stones Xiao Dongzi and the others handed over had significantly reduced. What Chief Long said was true as well. That brat is challenging your authority.”
The gorgeous young lady appeared young, and every gesture she made possessed a kind of charming temperament. It was like captivating like a ripened fruit, and an ordinary girl would never possess such a temperament.
Her figure looked somewhat well-developed, but she didn’t look plump. On the contrary, it was extremely alluring, especially her pair of bewitching eyes. Even the servant girl felt somewhat aroused with just a glance from it.
She swept her gaze at the servant girl before replying nonchalantly, “I have my reasons for doing so. Since when is there a need for you to question me?”
The servant girl’s delicate body trembled faintly as she knelt down in fright. “This servant knows her mistakes.”
Big Sister Bell lifted up the teacup and pursed up her lips. The bell in front of her chest had started to sway faintly as it produced a clear and abnormally pleasant sound. She wore a loose-fitting, pale blue long skirt while a bunch of pink bells hung in front of her chest as it outlined a deep cleavage between her chest, making her look even more alluring.
After sipping several mouths of tea, her gaze penetrated through the gate as she stared at the sky outside the window. She mumbled to herself, “When I was 13, I started to drift around the White Dragon Archipelago homelessly. In those dozen years, I encountered countless dangers and people. I had always judged a person correctly and never was I wrong before. This youth is definitely someone that isn’t just limited to such achievements. At least… the tiny Sky Thunder City wouldn’t be able to hold him. Since it was so, why should I offend him? Hehe. We shall see. Five months later, that brat would definitely return to the city without any mishap. The moment he returns, inform me immediately.”
After Big Sister Bell had finished speaking, she had also finished drinking her tea. She turned around and returned to her room leisurely, leaving behind a stupefied servant girl. A startled countenance could be seen in the servant girl’s somewhat graceful face. Only after a long time did she finally murmur in doubts, “Isn’t it reported that the brat was only in the Vajra Realm? How could he possibly enter the city with six chiefs intercepting him even if he had two Heaven Monarchs beside him? Those are six chiefs we are talking about!”
The servant girl was not able to understand it. Putting aside average people like Jiang Yi, not even a Heaven Monarch at the middle stages like Ba Dao, Chief Long, and the others would be able to enter the city under the interception of the six chiefs along with that many Heaven Monarch. Unless he was as abnormal as Big Sister Bell!
Yet, Big Sister Bell said that he would definitely be able to return. Could she be saying… this youth would achieve a strength comparable to Big Sister Bell five months later? Wasn’t this just pure fantasy?
…
Since Big Sister Bell wasn’t going to interfere, this had become a pain in the ass to Ba Dao and the others. When Ba Dao and the others head over to look for Leng Aotian and Chief Li, they were told that the duo had gone into seclusion.
Ba Dao wished to curse on the spot. Last night, Leng Aotian had gone to the brothel and reserved five or six courtesans. Yet, he was in seclusion today? Only a fool would believe it.
They also understood their course of actions should be because of Big Sister Bell’s attitude. It caused them to grow apprehensive. Since they weren’t willing to meet them, Ba Dao and the others were also at their wit’s end.
The thunder ridge just way too wide, and Jiang Yi had never once come out during the day while he hid in the depths of the thunder ridge. With their strength, they were only able to last for half a day, making it basically impossible for them to search for Jiang Yi. Furthermore, so what if they could locate him? Who would dare to approach him if he had hidden near the Thunder Fire?
Everyone discussed within the restaurant in the city lord residence for two hours. They thought of an idea. Bribery… they intend to get help from the Lu Clan’s enforcement team!
Chief Long brought everyone’s sincerity to the second floor of the city lord residence as he searched for the commander of the enforcement team. However, when he spoke the purpose of his visit, a commander—who was normally easy to deal with—ordered him to leave immediately.
The Lu Clan was very strict with their rules. It was possible for the commanders to accept bribes, but they would never dare go against the clan rules—regardless of how many celestial stones were offered to them.
The six of them was completely at their wit’s end. They could only set up layers of defenses while they waited for Jiang Yi’s return five months later. Although the commander didn’t dare to go against the clan rules, he told them that if Jiang Yi didn’t hand over the thunder stones five months later, he could officially bring his team to execute him.
…
Jiang Yi had no idea what happened in the city and couldn’t be bothered by it. He could only cultivate diligently!
During the day, he would head over to the depths of the thunder ridge and hid at the center of dozens of Thunder Fire while cultivating there! There were several dozens of Thunder Fire in the vicinity. Even if someone knew that he was there, they would still not dare to approach him because the temperature was so terrifyingly high.
After cultivating in a meditative state for the day, he would head over to the vicinity of the ten thunder mountains during nightfall. He would enter into the Union of Heaven and Man state to sense the ten mountains while he continued to seize that trace of dao presence.
At dawn, he would head out to gather the thunder stones immediately, and when the experts from the city arrived, he would go back to his same old spot within the thunder ridge to cultivate.
Day after day, the speed at which Jiang Yi cultivated his essence force was very fast, and he had also gathered quite a substantial amount of thunder stones. After six nights, he still didn’t have any result. There were a lot of times he could catch hold of the dao presence. However, he would always miss it during the final moment!
“What exactly is the problem?”
On the seventh night, he didn’t enter into the Union of Heaven and Man state. Rather, he sat above an enormous stone while he stared at the ten thunder mountains that pierced through the clouds blankly.
It had been so many days. If he could have comprehended it, he would have longed captured that trace of dao presence. In the past, he could comprehend dao patterns very quickly. Once he reached the entry stage, he would have a grasp of the quintessence and be able to comprehend them within a few days. It had been five days. Yet, he was still unable to reach the entry stage and was no longer able to tell what this dao presence was.
If he wasn’t able to comprehend it, how could he possibly sense that trace of dao presence so indistinctly? Therefore, he concluded that there was a problem somewhere else; and he would never be able to comprehend it if he were to continue comprehending it in such manner.
“What kind of heaven and earth dao pattern was hidden in the thunder mountains? Could it be a thunder attribute dao pattern? It should be it. The thunder mountains are able to absorb thunderbolts and are the core of the Thunder-Gathering Divine Array. It had absorbed thunderbolts continuously for countless years. So it should be reasonable if there was a trace of thunder attribute dao pattern presence hidden in it. The thunder mountains nurture thunder stones within them and possess Thunder Fire. All of them had the power of thunder. But, how am I going to comprehend this thunder attribute dao pattern?”
Jiang Yi sunk into deep contemplation as he sat above the enormous stone. The gentle sea breeze blew over while his Fire Cloud Armor hid within his body. His clothes and hair fluttered loudly, and those lumps of Thunder Fire had also started to flicker from the breeze. Jiang Yi’s handsome face would be illuminated and dimmed from time to time, making it looked particularly strange in this cold and desolate wilderness.
