“What?”
Instantly, Lu Lin’s handsome face started twitching. Jiang Yi had escaped? Wouldn’t that mean Jiang Xiaonu had also escaped? He had invited countless rich and powerful young masters and ladies from the White Dragon Archipelago to attend the wedding. Yet, his bride had actually run away?
What was there to see in this wedding? Were they supposed to see Young Master Lin making a joke out of himself?
“You sure?”
Lu Lin’s eyes flickered as he asked once again. He could no longer maintain his demeanor when he saw the complexion of Lu Ping and the others had nodded their head gloomily. He exploded out in rage, “Are all of you trash? Lu Ping, you two are in the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. Yet, a Vajra Realm martial artist had escaped from your grasp? Don’t tell me they know how to ascend to heaven or dig deep into the earth?”
Lu Ping turned sullen and explained, “Young Master Lin, this Lone Wolf is too crafty. He sent two suicidal to attack the thunder mountains, causing all of us to be drawn over. After that, he escaped from the Sky Thunder Island immediately. They had already disappeared by the time we pursued over. The instant they had started to escape, this old one was about to bring people over to pursue him as well!”
“Then what are you waiting for? Chase after him immediately. Don’t ever come back if you can’t find him.”
Lu Lin roared and his gaze swept out towards the several flying carriages behind him before shouting, “Uncle Fan, you are also to bring your men to search a perimeter of a million miles immediately. That kid is in the Vajra Realm, and one of his women is only in the lower stages of Heaven Monarch Realm. He couldn’t have escaped far. Capture them alive if you managed to discover them.”
“Alright!”
Lu Lin’s peak-stage Heaven Monarch bodyguard clasped his fist before turning into a hawk and flew towards the north. The remaining bodyguards had also flown off in other directions as they searched the area.
“All of you, go and search as well. Capture anyone you see suspicious!”
“That’s right. To play tricks on Big Brother Lin is the same as playing tricks on us. Scatter out, all of you. Set up an inescapable net within the perimeter of a million miles. You must capture this group of bastards back.”
Many of the White Dragon Archipelago’s young masters and ladies in the flying carriages behind had also ordered their own bodyguards to join the search as well. Today, all of them had been invited over to attend the wedding. Instead, they saw Lu Lin making a joke out of himself. If Lu Lin wasn’t the Young Master of the Lu Clan, they would definitely jeer at him incessantly. At this moment—although they couldn’t help but laugh, they still needed to give Lu Lin some face.
Swish! Swish!
Close to a thousand of Heaven Monarchs turned into streams of light as they shot out in all directions. They started to search the radius of a few million miles with their fastest speed. Besides, Jiang Yi and the others weren’t really that strong. He would never be able to escape with so many of them searching for him unless he was able to escape to the heavens or deep into the earth.
…
“Chief Jiang had escaped?”
The Sky Thunder City was in an uproar. A lot of them had already heard that Lu Lin wished to forcefully marry Jiang Xiaonu and for this period of time, they were all preparing for the grand wedding. Originally, everyone thought that Jiang Yi had yielded to it. Unexpectedly, he was actually so courageous to actually play a fool out of the Lu Clan’s true young master?
Immediately, Yang Dong took out a sealed envelope and discovered a spatial ring and letter within. He took a glimpse at it and revealed a smear of disappointment and regret as he handed it over to Niu Deng beside him.
“All my brothers, when you read this letter, I have already left. I’m very sorry for not being able to bring you along. It’s because… all of you would be in greater danger if you are to follow me. The instant I decided to leave, I’m foreordained to break off all relations with the Lu Clan and would be hunted by Lu Lin, Lu Ping, and others. Sin Island might be very big, but all of you should be very clear about how strong the 13 Clans are.
“I’m leaving. All of you shouldn’t be implicated if you acted a bit more low-profile. Yang Dong, after I leave, you are to take over my position. If Lu Ping wishes to cooperate with you… you can cooperate with her. However, you have to be careful of her silencing you after the collaboration is over. All of my brothers… I’m very honored to get acquainted with all of you and am very sorry for not being able to continue fighting alongside all of you. Yang Dong, help me to look after Xiao Hong. I didn’t accomplish what Big Sister Bell had entrusted me with, and I will apologize to her personally if there was an opportunity in the future. Once again, I’m apologizing to all of you. There are a hundred million celestial stones within the spatial ring. Yang Dong, distribute them; and if there’s a chance, let’s drink and chat happily again!”
It wasn’t handwritten by Jiang Yi, but the tone was Jiang Yi’s and was extremely sincere. Very likely, Qian Wanguan had written it with Jiang Yi narrating it. When Niu Deng finished reading it, he gave out a long sigh before turning around and wiped his tears.
Both of them had followed Jiang Yi for a year. Jiang Yi was extremely true and affectionate towards them and had never once seen them as his subordinates. Their relations weren’t like brothers but one that had surpassed it. Furthermore, both of them weren’t cold-blooded and heartless. Naturally, they would be able to feel it.
Now that Jiang Yi had left, Yang Dong and Niu Deng did not blame Jiang Yi at all even though he didn’t bring them along with him. Rather, they felt an ineffable sadness. Perhaps, they would never have any more chances to meet this miraculous youth ever again. A brother… that was a lot younger than them.
“Chief Jiang. You must survive and continue to live well!”
Simultaneously, both of them placed one of their hands onto their chest and bowed slightly. They looked towards the northwest sky and sent Jiang Yi off as they prayed silently.
…
Indeed, Jiang Yi was able to escape to the heavens and into the earth. At this very moment, he was executing the Heaven Evasion divine skill.
He had already discussed it over with Qian Wanguan the day he had decided to escape. This time, they could only take a risk and escape using the Heaven Evasion. Otherwise, everyone would die tragically.
There must be no expert around when they execute the Heaven Evasion. Otherwise, their identity would be revealed very easily. When that happened, experts from various clans would hunt him down and plunder his treasures. Therefore, Qian Wanguan decided to let two soul slaves attacked the thunder mountains which would draw away Lu Ping’s attention.
Jiang Yi executed the Heaven Evasion towards the south as he wanted to head over to the Blue Dragon Archipelago. He wasn’t going there to look for Zhan Wushuang or Yun Fei. Rather, he intended to use this route to head over to the Gods Bestow Island.
Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei had already resided within the Blue Dragon Archipelago comfortably, and no one knew their identities. They would be extremely safe within the city as well. He would only bring both of them over unless he had confirmed his safety within the Gods Bestow City.
There were 13 Clans within the Gods Bestow Tribe. The nine weaker clans ruled nine different archipelagoes individually. Meanwhile, the remaining strongest four clans governed the Gods Bestow Island together. Nine dragons seizing the pearl. The nine dragons were the nine big archipelagoes, and the pearl referred to the Gods Bestow Island.
The Gods Bestow Island was very big and was a treasured land that had the densest heaven and earth essence force. The Lu Clan’s influence would be extremely weak over there. Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan had analyzed it carefully. If they were able to enter the city, purchased a house, and reside within it, Lu Lin wouldn’t be able to do anything to them even if he knew that they were in the Gods Bestow City.
He would use the Heaven Evasion along the way and wouldn’t dare to travel too far every time he executed it as it might attract the peak stage Heaven Monarchs’ attention if he was to travel across a city accidentally. He would be finished if they were to jolt him out from the spatial zone.
Therefore, he could only execute the Heaven Evasion for less than an hour as he traveled across more than twenty million miles before ripping out from the spatial zone. Once he exited, he swept his divine senses around his surroundings and let out a long breath after confirming there were no cities and experts nearby.
According to calculations, he had already reached the Blue Dragon Archipelago’s territory; and it was definitely impossible for Lu Ping and the others to chase after him. However, he didn’t dare to be too careless and continued to fly towards the south quickly. He located an uninhabited small island and took out a black long gown as he shrouded his body within. Only after doing so did he continue to fly towards the south.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
After flying for several tens of thousands of miles, several hundred martial artists flew over when he passed by a small island. All of them locked onto him with surging murderous intent while a low-stage Heaven Monarch leader roared, “Hand over your ancient divine essence ring and all of your treasures, and I shall spare your life.”
“Mountain bandits?”
Jiang Yi’s eyebrows pricked up while his divine senses extended out to the island. After confirming that there were no experts concealed within, he streaked across the vast sky and flew towards the mountain bandits without saying a word.
“Stop or you shall be killed without mercy!”
The mountain bandits’ eyes were filled with astonishment as they were thinking if this kid was a fool? Putting aside the fact that he was traveling in the Gods Bestow Tribe alone, he didn’t try to escape when intercepted and rushed for his death instead?
