Chapter 35: Immediate Execution

“Bang!”

Just as Jiang Yi finished his statement, the Martial Court Elder’s hand hurtled over and landed a heavy pat on his left shoulder. The robes on Jiang Yi’s left shoulder instantly burst apart, with fresh blood splattering across as he crashed into the wall. He bounced off the wall and tumbled for a few rounds before struggling to get up!

The Martial Court was the most influential court of the Jiang Clan: they were responsible for handling the external battles and protection of the Jiang Clan. Martial Court Elder, Jiang Yunmeng, wasn’t even 50 years of age this year, but his combat strength was just below of the Grand Elder and the Clan Head. Even within the Skyplume City, Jiang Yunmeng was considered a well-renowned figure; how could his prowess be undermined by a lowly brat like Jiang Yi?

But he favored the fearless look that Jiang Yi was portraying; if not, he would have used this palm strike to kill Jiang Yi—or at least shattered the bones in his left shoulder.

Even so, he still took steps forward and burst forth his violent aura. He shrouded the struggling Jiang Yi and shouted with a chilling stare, “Die of persecution? How would there be any injustice? I witnessed you committing the crime in public, and yet you dare clamor? Do you even have the qualification to talk terms with me? Bring this brat to the Disciplinary Court for them to serve him his sentence!”

“Wait!”

Jiang Yi bellowed while trying his best to stand. Jiang Yi managed to stand even under the suppression of Jiang Yunmeng’s mountain-like aura, with his constantly shivering body and violently spurting wound. There was slight amusement all over the corners of his mouth. He then stared at Jiang Yunmeng with burning eyes and scoffed, “Martial Court Elder, I heard you are upright, plainspoken, and ferocious like the tiger. Seems like I, Jiang Yi... had a mistake in my judgment of character. Forget it! Since you are unwilling to kill me, then I shall take my own life! If I were to go to the Disciplinary Court, it was the same as sending me to my death!”

As he declared, Jiang Yi circulated his essence force in his hand and struck viciously towards his own head. His face remained calm as he continued to stare at Jiang Yunmeng with eyes of mockery.

“Huh....”

Jiang Gushui and everyone’s state of mind tensed up as they witnessed Jiang Yi’s raging intent to take his own life. This person was truly a madman. Not only did he infuriated the Martial Court Elder, but he even had the guts to take his own life? They clearly felt that Jiang Yi was exerting his full force on this palm strike, and he wasn’t acting one bit. He was truly going to kill himself!

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yunmeng’s expression changed, not because of Jiang Yi trying to take his own life, but his eyes of mockery and despise in his tonality. Jiang Yunmeng’s hand reached out with lightning speed and caught Jiang Yi’s hand. He was furious like never before as he went in front of Jiang Yi and spoke with a restrained voice, “Good, you little bastard have some guts. Go to the Disciplinary Court, and I shall help you invite all the Elders! But don’t you worry, brat, even with all the Elders around, you shall not escape death today!”

“Many thanks, Elder!”

Jiang Yi smiled, it was a resplendent smile. He let out a breath of relief in his heart. Had Jiang Yunmeng been late by just a bit, his soul would have truly gone to heaven. He used his own life as a bet, and as a result... he won the bet.

“Bring them all to the Disciplinary Court. Go inform the Elders and the Clan Head. Just say that it was I that invited them to the Disciplinary Court.”

Jiang Yunmeng turned and left abruptly; he had harsh expression. He was actually coerced by this brat today? He felt such grievance that he had never felt before in his entire life.

...

The entire Jiang Clan was alarmed. An audacious clansman actually hurt someone within the Martial Arts Demonstration Hall? He even dared to injure the Chief Supervisor Jiang Yunshe’s son; most importantly, he broke the spine of Jiang Rulong who was the no.2 of the clan’s youth generation; even his head got smashed!

It wasn’t an issue if one’s limbs or ribs got broken because they could be easily healed in about ten days or two weeks after using high-grade recuperation medicine. But the spine and cranial bones were the most important bones of the human body, and they were hard to heal, too. If one of the healing didn’t go well, that individual may very well become a retard or a disabled man.

The recruitment of the Mt. Spirit Beast College was about to begin in another month’s time. If Jian Rulong’s combat strength didn’t allow him to join the Mt. Spirit Beast College, he would definitely be able to enter the West Garrison Army. What Jiang Yi did was to completely crush the future of Jiang Rulong and caused the Jiang Clan to have one less hope.

Even though they didn’t know exactly how impudent or how deranged this clansman was, but the majority of the clansmen rushed over to the Disciplinary Court just to see how ferocious the criminal was. He actually dared to incite the wrath of Jiang Yunshe and the authority of the Disciplinary Court?

The outside of the Disciplinary Court was surrounded by clansmen. Jiang Gushui and Jiang Rulang were brought into the Disciplinary Court while the other clansmen were waiting outside to be summoned. Jiang Yunshi of the Disciplinary Court put on a terrifying face of the likes of the King of Hell, and as the Elders walked in one by one, his expression got intensively severe. He gave Jiang Yi a stare that was filled with killing intent.

This little bastard just recently got out from the Disciplinary Court, and he immediately went to assault someone. Most importantly, he actually asked Jiang Yunmeng to invite the Clan Head and all the Elders to be present here. He was obviously trying to say he would be wrongly persecuted in the Disciplinary Court?

Since he took over as the Disciplinary Court as the Deputy Elder, he had yet to see such a presumptuous and fearless clansman, not to mention that Jiang Yi’s status was lower than a collateral lineage clansmen. He told himself that he had to maintain his calm and resolve this matter flawlessly. Not only was he going to sentence Jiang Yi to death—in order to restore the Disciplinary Court’s and his own prowess—but he was also going to do it impartially so they everyone couldn’t give any criticism.

The Jiang Clan had a total of ten Elders, but Jiang Yunhai went missing and Elder Liu passed away, which meant that there were only eight of them. Five minutes later, seven of them came: some had an infuriated expression, some had eyes of mockery, and some were rather curious of the smirk that was on Jiang Yi’s face.

“Swish!”

A tall and stalwart figure swooped in from the outside. Before he even got near to the Disciplinary Court, his fiendish aura shrouded towards the Disciplinary Court. Everyone, who was standing outside, frantically stood aside to give way. They looked at the frail-looking Jiang Yi as though he was a dead man.

“Huh?”

Jiang Yi could feel a murderous intent locking onto him. As he swiftly turned around to look, his expression immediately went cold, and a name appeared in his thoughts—Jiang Yunshe!

Jiang Yunshe wasn’t a clan elder, but he had more authority than most of the elders. Being the Chief Supervisor of the Internal Affairs Court, he handled most of the Jiang Clan’s wealth matters. All the clansman’s salary had to be approved by him. In the hearts of the Jiang Clan’s members, Jiang Yunshe was only second to the Disciplinary Court’s Deputy Elder in terms of being dreadful.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yunshe rushed violently, went past the crowd like an eagle, and entered the Disciplinary Court. In mid-air, he posed his hand like a talon of the eagle and struck at Jiang Yi’s head.

Jiang Yi injured both his sons and, most importantly, ruined the future of Jiang Rulong. How could Jiang Yunshe, who had an esteemed status, restrain himself against this lowly descendant of the clan? Even if he were to immediately kill Jiang Yi right here, no one would dare to voice out any opinion.

Sure enough!

Jiang Yunshi and Jiang Yunmeng did have a change in expression when they saw Jiang Yunshe wanting to kill as soon as he entered. But no one made any comment. After all, it was his son who got injured; and if anyone was to interfere, it would be to offend Jiang Yunshe.

“Hahaha!”

Against the death strike from Jiang Yunshe, Jiang Yi had nowhere to run. He couldn’t escape with his current strength. He fearlessly laughed and ignored Jiang Yunshe; he then turned to look at the bunch of elders. “Martial Court Elder, didn’t you say I wouldn’t die by persecution in the Disciplinary Court? The Disciplinary Court hasn’t yet decided its verdict, and someone is about to kill me! Jiang Clan’s rules are surely just dogsh*t, the Disciplinary Court is dogsh*t, too! I, Jiang Yi... will not accept death like this!”

Jiang Yunshe’s violent dash in produced a gale that blasted at Jiang Yi’s blood-dyed robes and black hair into a frenzy dance. His left shoulder that had its wound stabilized was bleeding once again. His tender face didn’t have a hint of fear but rather filled with mockery. The scene was so bizarre that it was breathtaking.

“Stop!”

“Yunshe, stop!”

Jiang Yunmeng and Jiang Yunshi awoke to their realization and shouted at the same time. Majority of the Jiang clansmen were looking from outside and almost all the Jiang Clan’s elders were here. If Jiang Yi was slain by Jiang Yunshe right here, it would undoubtedly raise a huge commotion in the Jiang Clan and reduced the prowess of the Disciplinary Court and clan rules to the lowest level.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yunshe’s eagle talon stopped one foot from Jiang Yi. His eyes were filled with resentment and malicious intent, like a lurking venomous snake that made people trembled in fear. He sent a few glares at Jiang Yi before giving a comment with his icy cold voice, “Such a clever and eloquent mouth. Little bastard, no matter how glib your tongue could be, you shall not escape death today.”

Jiang Yi went all out today. He calmly looked at Jiang Yunshe and replied, “Chief Supervisor, I am the god-grandson of Grand Elder Jiang Yunhai. Are you scolding me by calling me a little bastard? Do you mean to say that to Grand Elder, too? Keke, no wonder your two sons kept on ranting ‘little bastard’ nonstop. Seems like it was taught by you, uh?”

“You...”

Jiang Yunshe was so furious that his body shivered. He got caught off-guard by the words of Jiang Yi and couldn’t react for a moment. A killing intent burst forth from his body again and wanted to once again send Jiang Yi to hell.

Shh-shh-shh!

Right at this timing, sounds of footsteps rang from outside. A whole batch of clan’s descendants greeted with respect, “Greetings, Clan Head, greetings, Second Elder!”

Jiang Yunshe suppressed his anger at once and looked outside together with Jiang Yi. A dashing middle-aged man who wore a luxurious robe walked in along with an old veteran who had a hunched back and gray hair.

When Jiang Yi saw this old veteran, his heart was slightly at ease. Among all the elders in the clan, the one that was on close terms with Grand Elder was the Second Elder who was known for his virtue and prestige. Now that the Second Elder was here, Jiang Yi was most probably able to keep his life.

Jiang Yi wasn’t an idiot, and he didn’t want to die either. He was actually clever. Where would his exceptional instincts come from if he wasn’t smart?

The rude and impetuous way he walked out from the Chunya’s House was all part of his schemes. Seeing Jiang Xiaonu beaten like this completely enraged him. He was ready to risk everything, and he decided to create havoc and take revenge on Jiang Ruhu and the trio. He wanted to let everyone in Jiang Clan know that whoever dared to touch Jiang Xiaonu would have to prepare for... Jiang Yi’s wrath!

The reason why he dared to create havoc in the Martial Arts Demonstration Hall, waited for Jiang Rulong to appear, putting Jiang Rulong in a serious state of injury, even begging for death in front of the Martial Court Elder—was to make everything a huge commotion. To shock the entire Jiang Clan and to gain the attention of this old veteran.

By making it a huge commotion, everyone would get to know about it, and only then would this old veteran appear so that he could have a chance to keep his life.

Jiang Yi’s schemes were all going well!

However, what shocked Jiang Yi was that once the Jiang’s Clan Head, Jiang Yunshan, walked in, he sent a chilling stare at Jiang Yi and immediately declared, “What is there to be decided? I have all the information I need. A clansman with such crazed cruelty would sooner or later become a scourge. Immediate execution!”
