Chapter 275: Execute

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Lan Clan was very powerful, similar to the Zhangsun Clan, the Jiang Clan, and the Zhan Clan of the Divine Martial Kingdom. They had occupied the Saint Spirit Kingdom for several thousands of years.

The Saint Spirit Kingdom might be eradicated, and the King might be replaced, but such powerful clans would never cease to exist. Their clan had a tree-like root that was running under the Saint Spirit Kingdom.

Such a great clan was naturally prideful. Jiang Yi’s prestige—which was at the peak of his life—was nothing in the eyes of such powerful clans. Jiang Yi was just like an upstart who might be impressive now but would never be long-lasting.

Hence, the Lan Clan was obviously angered by Jiang Yi’s rude and barbaric behavior, who immediately barged into the city and wanted to kill their Young Clan Head in his first move. This descendant was the most outstanding in their generation.

They might be angered, but...

Once the Lan Clan’s Clan Head appeared, he also didn’t dare to make any move immediately. He flew into the courtyard and inquired indifferently, “Patrol Envoy Jiang, I wonder what mistake did my son commit? Why do you want to kill him on sight? You might be the noble Patrol Envoy for the imperial court, but you shouldn’t be so unreasonable, right? If you insist on having it your way, then our Lan Clan will fight to the end even if we have to use up every member.”

“Tsk-Tsk!”

Once he finished his statement, a ring flash in the hand of the Lan Clan Head, which put a curved saber in his hand. This curved saber was radiating with blue light, and its aura wasn’t on par with the Fire Dragon Sword. It was obviously a saint artifact!

A peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert complemented by a saint artifact!

Ling Yi and his men were surprised as they immediately circled around Jiang Yi. They knew clearly the power of a saint artifact. When a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert used a saint artifact, it wouldn’t be the same as when Jiang Yi wielded a saint artifact. They weren’t afraid, but Jiang Yi’s strength was still weak; and if he was to die, Ling Xue would certainly sentence them to death.

“Reason?”

Jiang Yi remained proud without any fear as he stared at the Lan Clan Head with cold eyes, who looked like he was only over 40 years of age when he was obviously over 50 years of age. Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed a mocking smile as he spoke, “Your Young Clan Head captured my Grandfather Jiang Yunhai. If it was merely a capture, then so be it! But he obviously knew that Jiang Yunhai was my close relative and actually went to have a deal with Xia Wuhui? Do you think I am wrong to kill him?”

“Jiang Yunhai?”

The Lan Clan Head frowned and spoke with doubt, “Patrol Envoy Jiang, is there any misunderstanding on this matter? Yu’er? Is there such a thing?”

“Slander!”

Lan Yu, who was carried by Third Elder, shouted, “I have never captured anyone. I don’t even know who Jiang Yunhai is. Jiang Yi is slandering me!”

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi let out a faint laugh and replied with a question, “Didn’t you say that Jiang Yunhai is dead earlier?”

“I...”

Lan Yu looked around and replied, “I was just angered by you and replied without thinking!”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi let out a long laugh and said, “Then how do you explain the God-Exterminating Crossbows in your clan? Other than the seven great clans of the Divine Martial Kingdom, only the royal clan possessed it. Moreover, your God-Exterminating Crossbows are gold in color, which is the same as the Divine Martial Kingdom royal clan’s God-Exterminating Crossbows. Are you going to tell me that... you bought it?”

“Huh!”

Lan Yu was speechless. Only the Divine Martial Kingdom had the crafting blueprint for the God-Exterminating Crossbows, and this was something everyone knew. The Divine Martial Kingdom never sold the God-Exterminating Crossbows. Lan Yu had no way to argue his way out of this.

“En?”

The Lan Clan Head’s eyes turned cold as he looked around and suddenly flew towards Lan Yu and gave him a hard palm strike, sending Lan Yu to fly into a crash. He then turned to face Jiang Yi and bowed with cupped hands. “Patrol Envoy Jiang. This old man had been in seclusion recently. Please let me clearly understand about this matter.”

As he finished his sentence, looked at the Third Elder and sent him a message, which caused the Third Elder’s face to go pale. The Third Elder then quickly communicated with the Lan Clan Head using secret messages. Soon enough, Lan Clan head turned towards Jiang Yi and said, “Patrol Envoy Jiang. This matter is my dog son’s fault, but Jiang Yunhai isn’t dead yet. He is currently being transported over to the Divine Martial Kingdom. They just departed yesterday and should still be in the Saint Spirit Kingdom!”

“Lao Er ¹ !”

After giving some explanation, the Lan Clan Head yelled out again, “Immediately pass the message to investigate the whereabouts of Jiang Yunhai. In two hours, I want to know Jiang Yunhai and the Divine Martial Kingdom’s Special Envoy’s exact location.”

“Understood!”

An elder of the Lan Clan swiftly rushed out to make arrangements. Lan Clan Head then bowed and spoke submissively, “Patrol Envoy Jiang, this matter is my Lan Clan’s fault! I will use all my men to rescue Jiang Yunhai. This time, it is Lan Yu’s fault; and Lan Clan shall take on the responsibility for my dog son. Patrol Envoy Jiang, please state any terms.”

“Huuu!”

Jiang Yi let out a long sigh. It was fine as long as Jiang Yunhai wasn’t dead. Jiang Yi looked over at the bloodied Lan Yun—who was collapsed on the floor—and spoke apathetically, “I don’t have any terms. Save my Grandfather and... Lan Yu must die! This matter shall be settled.”

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

A group of people’s expression changed again. Lan Yu was the next successor for the Lan Clan; he was the sole heir for the Lan Clan Head and also the most outstanding descendant for the recent century of the Lan Clan’s history. If he was killed by Jiang Yi today, then it was needless to say that the Lan Clan would definitely lose a lot of prestige.

“This...”

The Lan Clan Head muttered and spoke with a gloomy expression, “Patrol Envoy Jiang, I mentioned that the Lan Clan will take responsibility for my dog son’s mistake. As long as you can forgive Lan Yu, any terms are negotiable.”

“Alright then!”

Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the curved saber in Lan Clan Head’s hand. “Compensate me with your Lan Clan’s saint artifact then!”

“...”

The Lan clansmen’s expression changed again while they couldn’t hold back the killing intent from their bodies. The saint artifact was the foundation of the Lan Clan; without it, the Lan Clan would lose their prowess. This Jiang Yi was too vicious.

The Lan Clan Head forcefully withheld his anger as he gritted his teeth and said, “Patrol Envoy Jiang, do not bully us intolerably. Jiang Yunhai isn’t dead yet, and this old man has promised that we will rescue him as soon as possible! Since you didn’t suffer any losses, why not turn this hostility into harmony? Our Lan Clan will treat you as a friend, too. How about it?”

“Friend? I am not worthy!”

Jiang Yi laughed unenthusiastically and said, “There is no other choice. Either give me the saint artifact or kill Lan Yu. Or... you can make a move and kill all of us!”

“Buzz-Buzz!”

Once Jiang Yi finished his proposition, Ling Yi and his men all drew their battle saber while circulating essence force around their bodies, getting ready to make a move at any time.

“Chu-Chu!”

Right at this moment, several cries of avians came from the sky as dozens of giant avians flew over. The avians were all carrying Soul Travel Realm experts on their backs. The leader among them fixed his eyes at the scene and shouted, “Everyone, stop!”

“General He!”

The Lan Clan Head revealed a trace of delight in his eyes as he yelled out, “General He, you are just in time. This Jiang Yi is too much!”

“En?”

Ling Yi and the others took a glance and were all taking precaution. Fifty Soul Travel Realm experts had arrived, and there were seven or eight of them who were at the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm. If all of them were to attack, all ten of them were probably going to perish here.

“Swish-swish-swish!”

The giant avians in the skies vanished while fifty Soul Travel Realm experts descended. The leader, General He, actually ignored the Lan Clan Head and knelt on one knee and greeted Jiang Yi, “Greetings to Lord Patrol Envoy!”

“Greetings to Lord Patrol Envoy!”

The rest of the Soul Travel Realm experts knelt on one knee, too. After General He saluted, he then spoke respectfully, “Lord Patrol Envoy. Do you have any misunderstanding with the Lan Clan? Do you need this official to do anything?”

Jiang Yi had this flash of astonishment in his eyes as he quickly replied, “There is no misunderstanding. This General, can I trouble you to execute the Lan Clan’s Young Clan Head, then help me rescue a person, and I shall leave the Saint Spirit Kingdom immediately!”

“Alright!”

General He had been trusted by the King who wished for him to escort Jiang Yi this God of Pestilence out of the kingdom.

He was on the King’s side and not one Lan Clan’s side; hence, he shouted out without any restraints, “Men! Go and execute the Lan Clan’s Young Clan Head!”
