Chapter 1420: Take Jiang Yi Down!

“Jiang Yi, don’t hurt Little Yue. I promise not to be rash!”

Before Qin Yuewen could send the voice transmission, the Fifth Elder outside sent his own to Jiang Yi. Fifth Elder may have held a high position in the Qin Clan, but Qin Yuewen and Qin Rong were the Clan Head’s favorite grandchildren. He did not dare to allow any harm to befall on Qin Yuewen. What’s more, he watched this child grow up. His own heart was hurting as well.

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi laughed softly and nodded. “If you don’t do anything rash, I promise that Qin Yuewen will not be hurt in any way. However, if you do… hehe!”

Fifth Elder responded immediately in his low voice, “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t do anything rash, we won’t either!”

Jiang Yi nodded and once again entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to survey his surroundings. Fifth Elder was obedient indeed; he did not even come too close to the boat. Instead, he remained about thirty kilometers from them, afraid that Jiang Yi would misunderstand his intentions if he came any closer.

The Divine Boat kept advancing forward. After flying for another two hours, two more formidable martial artist’s unparalleled, powerful auras covered the entire Divine Boat. Fifth Elder’s voice sounded immediately. “Old Seven, Old Thirteen, don’t move!”

“Fifth Brother!”

The two elders were flying at a crazy speed towards them, shouting at the top of their lungs. There was unmistakable rage and killing intent in their voices. Even Jiang Yi felt it clearly from within the Divine Boat. Fifth Elder waved his hand, gesturing for the two of them not to move. They had no choice but to use their divine senses to ruthlessly search the Divine Boat several times, keeping watch on Jiang Yi and Qin Yuewen. At last, they did not say anything but only followed the boat quietly.

Another two hours later, the North River City appeared in the distance. Thousands of Earth Emanations were already lined up outside the city. The North River Tribe underneath was filled with even more people, all looking at the approaching Divine Boat—and the group of people trailing behind it—nervously and curiously.

The Divine Boat was charging towards the city. Fifth Elder waved his hand once again, gesturing for the Earth Emanations in front of the city gate to move to either side. The Divine Boat stopped, and the gate opened. Jiang Yi kept his yellow sand worms and flew out of the boat with a grin on his face, still carrying Qin Yuewen. He walked into the city with his head held high.

The tribe below was bustling, but the city was frighteningly quiet. The Qin Clan had taken over the city a long time ago. Before Fifth Elder left, he gave orders for the city to be guarded heavily. It was very embarrassing that Qin Yuewen had been taken hostage. Fifth Elder wanted to prevent this news from spreading as much as he could.

Jiang Yi flew into the city plaza with Qin Yuewen. About thirty kilometers behind him were the three elders from the Qin Clan. Behind them were tens of Heaven Emanations. All of their killing intent felt overwhelming, but the three elders’ expressions remained calm.

Once they arrived at the city plaza, Fifth Elder sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Jiang Yi, can you let my young mistress go now?”

“No way!”

Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders. “This place is filled with your people. What if the people in your city kill me? Let’s go to Blue Eagle City. When we get there, I promise I will let her go.”

Fifth Eldress did not get too angry. Instead, he replied calmly, “A nobleman’s word?”

“Will not be taken back!”

Jiang Yi smiled gently. Then, he turned to the hundreds of Earth Emanations guarding the Teleportation Formation. “Activate the Teleportation Formation!”

The Earth Emanations Army glanced at Fifth Elder who nodded. Then, the Teleportation Formation lit up. Once Jiang Yi had been teleported, Fifth Elder turned to address the Heaven Emanations behind him. “There is a high chance that the Poison Spirit is with Jiang Yi, but I want you to keep searching. Don’t bother about Jiang Yi anymore. We will settle this.”

Swish!

Once he finished speaking, Fifth Elder led the other two elders into the Teleportation Formation to follow Jiang Yi. The city was extremely quiet, but many people’s divine senses were moving constantly. After the three of them left, the city’s yards burst into a flurry of action.

Jiang Yi took the Qin Clan’s young mistress hostage!

It was said that this brat also took the daughter of Divine Eagle City’s City Lord hostage back then. Was he addicted to kidnapping people? He even dared to make a move on the Qin Clan’s young mistress? She was a well-known and widely-revered person in the Earth Emanations Domain. This would shake the entire Earth Emanations Domain for sure.

…

Earth Emanations Domain was shaken indeed. Explosive news like this spread like wildfire.

Jiang Yi did not try to hide his tracks. With his head held high, he teleported towards Blue Eagle City. His left arm remained around Qin Yuewen. After teleporting a few times, his Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his right hand. He looked just like a crazed bandit!

The Poison Spirit said that to get to the Saint Spirit Domain, he had to shake the Earth Domain. Now, he was well-known throughout Earth Emanations Domain. He might as well blow this matter up as big as he could so that he could become even more infamous.

The Blue Eagle City was not considered that far away. He only had to teleport forty times. Midway through, Jiang Yi found a room to rest in for half a day. When he started teleporting again, he arrived at Blue Eagle City shortly.

The first person Jiang Yi saw when he arrived at Blue Eagle City was Xiao Hong. His expression was extremely awful. All the important people of Blue Eagle Prefecture were present. About a hundred Heaven-Emanations-grade martial artists stood in the city plaza.

“Greetings to the Prefecture Lord!”

On seeing Xiao Hong, Jiang Yi grinned. His tone was warm as he said, “Prefecture Lord, it has been too long since we last met.”

“Hmph!”

In his heart, Xiao Hong wished that he could die right then and there. Jiang Yi was his man on paper. This meant that the Qin Clan would hold him responsible for the trouble that Jiang Yi got into as well. His expression darkened as he said, “Are you not going to release Young Mistress Qin?”

“Heh heh, I was just playing around with Young Mistress Qin!”

Jiang Yi grinned. His grip remained firm around Qin Yuewen as he walked towards Xiao Hong. Before he got too close to Xiao Hong, the Teleportation Formation behind him lit up. The Fifth Elder and the other two elders walked out of the Teleportation Formation. The moment they appeared, they saw Xiao Hong. Smiling coolly, one of them said, “Prefecture Lord Xiao, you’re not bad at controlling your subordinates. One of your City Lords even dared to kill people from our clan and kidnap our young mistress.”

Xiao Hong’s expression darkened even further. He cupped his hands towards Fifth Elder and said, “Please calm down. I think there has been some misunderstanding here. Jiang Yi, are you not going to let her go?”

“That’s easy!”

Jiang Yi was standing close to Xiao Hong. He faced Fifth Elder and said, “But I want to talk things out first. If you don’t… we’ll go to Earth Emanations City and in front of the Earth Emanations Sovereign.”

“Hmph!”

The Qin Clan’s Seventh Elder roared in anger, “You killed my clansmen and kidnapped my young mistress. Are you still capable of talking things out?”

“Of course, I am!”

Jiang Yi shouted back without missing a beat. Holding his ground, he said, “When I passed by the North River City, why did your people stop me? I kept warning them, time and time again, but they did not retreat. Instead, they attacked me. Am I supposed to sit there and allow your clan to kill me just because they want to? What kind of logic is that? Does the Earth Emanations City belong to the Qin Clan?

“I am the City Lord of Divine Eagle City after all and the Hunting Envoy of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Did you think it would be that easy to get rid of me? Is the Qin Clan allowed to kill any City Lord that it does not like? Could you even kill Prefecture Lord Xiao if you wanted to? Could you even kill Assistant Pavilion Lord Mo…?”

“Wow!”

Before Jiang Yi could finish speaking, the entire city plaza began bustling again. Xiao Hong’s eyes widened. If Jiang Yi was allowed to go on, even the Earth Emanations Sovereign would appear.

He quickly cleared his throat and waved his hand. “Jiang Yi, that’s enough! There must have been some misunderstanding. The Qin Clan is not like you make them out to be. The Qin Clan is very reasonable. Even the Sovereign and Assistant Pavilion Lord think highly of them. Why would they do such things? Let Young Mistress Qin go before you go on. How could you keep this up?”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Qin Clan’s three elders’ faces turned green. Xiao Hong and Jiang Yi were singing in harmony, pulling the public towards their side. Fifth Elder initially wanted to kill Jiang Yi the moment he let the young mistress go, but it looked like he could not do so now. Otherwise… he would be doing himself in!

“Yes!”

Jiang Yi was waiting for Xiao Hong to say that. He immediately put his arm down and then bowed deeply, cupping his hands. “Young Mistress Qin, I’ve crossed the line!”

Swish!

Qin Yuewen floated into the sky and flew back towards the three elders as fast as she could. Then, she shouted hysterically, “Fifth Elder, he rescued the Poison Spirit. Kill this thief. I will bear the consequences alone. Even if the Assistant Pavilion Lord wants me dead, I will accept the punishment.”

Fifth Elder’s gaze turned cold. He thought that Qin Yuewen had enough proof on her hands. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and shouted, “Old Seven, Old Thirteen, take Jiang Yi down!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Xiao Hong and Jiang Yi’s expressions changed at once. They did not think that the Qin Clan would dare to take action within their own city, and in front of so many people at that.
