Chapter 246: Greetings to Lord Patrol Envoy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The interception at the north of Summer Rain City caused even more commotion than the Soul Break Valley incident, which shook the entire continent. After all, no one saw the previous interception. This time, it was out in the public and had been witnessed by plenty of the merchant groups, passersby, and the scouts from the various kingdoms that were in the vicinity.

These scouts were originally at Mt. Fire Cloud, investigating the nine rays of divine light and couldn’t find anything as a result. Instead, they were attracted by the news of Jiang Yi intercepting the Divine Martial Kingdom’s army and finally got to witness a great show.

Of course, the reason why there was such a commotion was mainly because of Jiang Yi’s arrogance as he openly intercepted and slaughtered the army without any fear. An army that had more than tens of thousands of soldier couldn’t do anything to him. Even the Crown Prince of Divine Martial Kingdom was forced to forsake his soldiers and escape in a pathetic state.

The royal clan of the Great Xia Kingdom was shaken, and the King personally gave out the arrest warrant for the culprit. Xia Tingwei smashed a cup in front of his royal subjects and posted out a reward for the pursuit for Jiang Yi. Whoever that was able to take Jiang Yi’s head to the Divine Martial Kingdom would be granted a big city!

A city in exchange for a head!

The continent was in an uproar again; even the martial experts from the various kingdoms were tempted. It wasn’t just a small city, and it was an inheritance. Any martial expert, who was able to take down Jiang Yi’s head, would be able to build their life in this city, giving centuries of wealth and glory to their future descendants.

Jiang Yi had become a household name. If the Kingdom War brought him fame throughout the continent, then these two interceptions gave him incomparable limelight in an instant.

Of course...

He wasn’t carrying a lifetime of legendary reputation but a lifetime of infamy. Zhan Wushuang was right: Jiang Yi would either leave his name in the history books or go down in history with infamy.

Every city was posted with Jiang Yi’s wanted posters, and there was an increase in soldiers in the outskirts of every city while there were scouts in the north of the Great Xia Kingdom that were searching for Jiang Yi. Several seventh- or eighth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were flying with their aerial spirit beasts, seeking out Jiang Yi; but it was a pity that they were late as Jiang Yi was long gone. In various cities, countless scouts returned to report that they couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Dragon Eagle. It was obvious that Jiang Yi didn’t escape on the Dragon Eagle and rode the Zouwu Beast underground instead.

Underground demonic beasts were very rare, and those there were faster than the Zouwu Beast were even rarer. Furthermore, the underground area was a massive one. Who would be able to find Jiang Yi? North of the Great Xia Kingdom was Mt. Thirty Thousand, and if Jiang Yi was to escape there, no one would be able to find him.

...

Jiang Yi didn’t escape to Mt. Thirty Thousand and went to Dragon Origin Merchant Guild in the Dragon Origin City instead!

Xia Wuhui had entered Summer Rain City, and there was completely no more chance to obtain the Soul-Subduing Herb. Jiang Yi didn’t want to give up yet and was trying to see if there was any other method to obtain the Soul-Subduing Herb from Great Xia Kingdom’s royal clan. This spirit herb was too rare, and if he missed this stalk, it might not reappear within this century. Without the Soul-Subduing Herb, Master Liao didn’t dare to guarantee the safety of Jiang Xiaonu’s soul spirit.

“Young Master Yi! During this period of time, you better don’t go out. There are people hunting for you everywhere on the outside. Young Clan Head relayed a message that plenty of experts from the Divine Martial Kingdom are coming. The King has set a reward to exchange your head for a large-scale city! Young Clan Head’s meant for you to find a concealed place to seclude yourself for about a year!”

Qian Kun had arranged for Jiang Yi to stay alone in a small courtyard which was guarded by Qian Kun’s men. Apart from him, no one else was allowed to enter this courtyard. A human’s heart was sinister, and Qian Kun was afraid that his men would suddenly betray them.

“Live in seclusion!”

Jiang Yi let out a deep sigh. The continent was huge, but was there a place he could call home? Where could he go to? What kind of place would be absolutely safe? Apart from becoming a savage man in Mt. Thirty Thousand, he truly couldn’t find another place he could seclude himself.

“Let’s wait for a period of time. I want to see if there is an opportunity for me to obtain the Soul-Subduing herb. If I truly have no more chances, then I will go seclude myself.”

Jiang Yi had been pondering for a period of time before he suddenly turned to speak with Qian Kun, “Do you have any information on the Great Xia Kingdom’s royal clan? Those very detailed report? I want to see if I can exchange something with the royal clan for it.”

“Yes, we do. The reason why our Qian Clan has yet to crumble after 10,000 years isn’t merely because of our wealth that could compete against a kingdom. It is also our no.1 intelligence collection ability.”

Qian Kun spoke proudly before his tone suddenly turned awkward, “But such information is of absolute secrecy, and I do not have the qualification to request for it. In order to obtain it, it must be from the orders from the Clan Head or Young Clan Head.”

“Then go seek approval from Wanguan. I will wait for two days!” Jiang Yi nodded. It was already good enough that Qian Kun told him all this information, and he naturally didn’t want to make things difficult for Qian Kun.

“Okay! I will immediately send the message to Young Clan Head. As long as he agrees to it, then everything will be prepared easily. Young Master Yi, be at ease and stay here. It is absolutely safe here.”

Qian Kun nodded and dismissed himself. Jiang Yi sat in the courtyard for two hours and mulled over for a long time but still couldn’t find any solutions. Ultimately, he decided to stop thinking and decided to strategize again after he obtained all the information. Jiang Yi then entered his room and began to cultivate.

Jiang Yi had been cultivating for an entire day. Because of Qian Kun’s thoughtful arrangement, no one came to disturb him; and it was absolutely safe. The thing that worried Jiang Yi was the nine star spheres in his dantian as he didn’t dare to ask anyone about this, fearing that people would think he was a freak. He was utterly at a loss—except the fact that after cultivation, the black essence force would appear in the first star sphere.

The rest of the eight star spheres didn’t have any reactions, and of course, if Jiang Yi wanted to channel black essence forces, he could draw them out from the other star spheres, too. Every time when he cultivated, the black essence force would be produced in the first star sphere; hence, Jiang Yi was used to channeling the black essence force from there.

“What exactly are these nine star spheres? If I continue cultivating like this, will the black essence force appear in the second star sphere once the first star sphere is full? What if every star sphere is filled up with black essence force? How will I cultivate in the future?”

Jiang Yi was having a headache. A complete transformation of the dantian had never happened to anyone in history, and there was no way to take any reference. He had to figure it out on how to cultivate in the future!

Without any way of determining his cultivation realm, would he be able to achieve the Soul Travel Realm in the future? Did he still have the opportunity to aspire for the pinnacle of martial dao? These were all things that Jiang Yi didn’t have any certainty.

What else could he do? He had no other choice but to bury himself in the cultivation and wait for the first star sphere to be filled up before talking about anything else.

Time flew quickly, and Jiang Yi was tired out during the past few days. He stayed in the room for two days and one night to have a good sleep, relieving himself of all the tension and mental stress.

On the next evening!

Qian Kun was here; when Jiang Yi heard the footsteps, he was bewildered. This time, it wasn’t a single individual—but three. During these two days, Qian Kun had been personally serving him the food, why would there be outsiders now?

Jiang Yi was secretly vigilant, and when Qian Kun entered, he immediately viewed the two individuals behind him like there were his foes. The Fire Spirit Pearl lit up at the first notice while the killing aura surged out from his body!

These two individuals were people that Jiang Yi had never seen before, and both of them were at the seventh- or eighth-stage of the Soul Travel Realm!

“Young Master Yi, don’t do anything! Listen to my explanation!”

Qian Kun was frightened as he quickly took out a token and a letter, presenting them with both hands. “Young Master Yi, this is Young Clan Head’s letter written by himself and his token! These two individuals have no malicious intention towards you.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi forcefully withheld his impulse from releasing the Earth Fire. When he thought of the enemy, it would definitely not just be two Soul Travel Realm experts at the seventh or eighth stage. If his whereabouts were leaked out, the entire vicinity would be surrounded with Soul Travel Realm experts.

After taking a look at the token, Jiang Yi nodded when he was sure that it was Qian Wanguan’s token. He took the letter and read it, revealing an even more bewildered expression. He looked at the two Soul Travel Realm experts and asked with a serious tone, “Are you from the Azure Dragon Empire?”

This letter was personally written by Qian Wanguan. Jiang Yi had once seen Qian Wanguan’s writing, which was forceful and violent like a snake. It was difficult for anyone to forge his writing, and it was even personally handed over by Qian Kun, which wouldn’t be faked.

Qian Wanguan’s letter had a simple message that the Azure Dragon Empire was looking for Jiang Yi and had requested for Qian Wanguan to assist them. Qian Wanguan didn’t write a lot of details, but there were subtle hints for Jiang Yi that this was a good thing. However, Jiang Yi still had to remain vigilant so he wouldn’t be used; and he should ask for more details.

“Swish! Swish!”

The two Soul Travel Realm experts actually flicked their sleeves and kneeled on one knee and greeted with respect, “Ling Qiang and Ling Jian, pay their greetings to Lord Patrol Envoy!”
