829 Where is Young Master Jiang Yi?
These four months indeed went very well, so well that it made Qian Wanguan a bit worried. He still felt that it was too smooth.
The Soaring Dragon Merchant Association was running very well. It had developed dozens of moles. Even if the Nine Thearch Clans were alarmed, they couldn’t wipe all of them out. The Situ Clan’s merchant association had already dominated the entire Gods Bestow Tribe. Even if Qian Wanguan left, the Situ Clan would only get stronger. Situ Yixiao was doing a very good job. After being trained by Qian Wanguan, he was able to take over the Situ Clan’s and Soaring Dragon Merchant Association’s business with ease.
On the other hand, the Lei Clan, the Nangong Clan, and the Lu Clan had been very quiet. To counteract the power of the Situ Clan, they allied and set up a merchant association, too. Unfortunately, they didn’t have talented businessmen. There was not much improvement.
The process of buying off the Nangong Clan’s men went very well, too. The patrol leader, commander of the guards, and the housekeeper of Nangong Qiling’s courtyard all followed Qian Wanguan’s order now. The housekeeper owed a huge gambling debt in the Dueling Ground and became the golden flood dragon’s soul slave. Once Qian Wanguan gave the order, they would bring Big Sister Bell’s mother out.
Qian Wanguan chose the wedding venue to be the God Bestow City Plaza. There was one more event afterward—a bonfire party at the Sky Ascension Peak. Sky Ascension Peak was in the north of the city 50 kilometers away. It was the place where Great Emperor Nangong ascended to the sky. Many young masters and young mistresses chose to hold a bonfire party there to implore Great Emperor Nangong’s protection, which was perfectly common.
Everything was following the plan. The ten men that Qian Wanguan recruited from the East Imperial Continent easily sneaked into the God Bestow City. Once Qian Wanguan gave the words, they would create chaos in the city so that the group would leave effortlessly via Heaven Evasion.
Feng Luan and Qian Wanguan even decided the escape route. They would go to the west first, to trick the thirteen clans into thinking that they went to the East Imperial Continent. Following that, Jiang Yi would turn around, go to the west of the Sin Island, and reach a deserted island in the Endless Deep Sea.
Qian Wanguan already asked men to build a powerful illusion zone on that island. It was the territory of the sea demons in the Endless Deep Sea. The Nine Thearch clans dared not to attack, and martial experts of the Sin Island would never go to the Endless Deep Sea as well. After all, it belonged to their allies. Therefore, the mighty demon races wouldn’t attack human beings indiscriminately.
They would hide in the Endless Deep Sea and slowly make their plans. Qian Wanguan was going to form a secret merchant association, too. He wanted to build a powerful force, which would slowly overturn the rulers on the East Imperial Continent, work out ways to annihilate the Lei Clan, and become the masters of the Sin Island!
All their plans were fine!
The only problem was that Jiang Yi never appeared again after his seclusion. Nobody knew whether his combat strength had been greatly improved. Once they were on the run, Jiang Yi was their only support. If his strength was not enhanced significantly and if he was killed by others halfway, everyone would die.
Time ticked slowly. Three months passed very quickly. The Gods Bestow Festival was approaching. Qian Wanguan’s wedding was one day after the Gods Bestow Festival. However, Jiang Yi still hadn’t exited his seclusion; the crowd couldn’t disrupt him either.
The Situ Clan was getting busy. They planned to hold a grand wedding and began building a new castle, which was even larger than Situ Yixiao’s castle. It was clear that Situ Ao valued Qian Wanguan very much.
The Situ Clan also dispatched ten Elders to be in charge of the security of the party at the Sky Ascension Peak and to protect the young masters and young mistresses on that day. The Sky Ascension Peak was not far from the God Bestow City. The four great clans were constantly protected by their guards and would hold a memorial ceremony on the day of the Great Emperor Nangong’s ascension. Normally, no bandits dared to come close to them. However, all the young masters and young mistresses who were 18 years old and above would be present on that day. They had to be careful.
The more effort the Situ Clan put into the wedding, the sorrier Qian Wanguan felt. However, in his heart, Jiang Yi was the most important person. If he couldn’t fight on Jiang Yi’s side, he felt that there was no point in doing anything. He had decided to follow Jiang Yi during his lifetime and thought that he was able to make greater achievements only if he followed Jiang Yi, even though he didn’t know whether he was right or not.
To make this wedding more impressive and livelier, Situ Clan took out a lot of their precious treasures, and so did the other nine clans as suggested by Situ Ao. It was an unprecedented auction.
At the same time, all the Situ Clan’s scouts were out to clean out the spies of the East Imperial Continent, to ensure that nothing happened on the wedding. Otherwise, if the wedding was disrupted by the spies from the East Imperial Continent, it would be bad for the cheerful atmosphere.
As the Gods Bestow Festival was approaching, the God Bestow City was getting busier. Many young masters and young mistresses from the thirteen clans arrived at the God Bestow City early, waiting for the Gods Bestow Festival and Qian Wanguan’s wedding.
...
“The Gods Bestow Festival is in two days. Boss, why haven’t you been out yet?”
Inside the Jiang Castle, Qian Wanguan was walking back and forth worriedly. Feng Luan and Qing Yu looked anxious, too. Without Jiang Yi, the plan couldn’t be carried out. Nobody would be able to leave without the Heaven Evasion.
Qing Yu waited for a while before saying hurriedly, “Do you want me to wake Young Master up? If I attack the restrictions, he will sense it.”
“You can’t!”
Qian Wanguan shook his head and said, “What if the boss is at a critical moment of his realization? Let’s just wait. I have told the boss the time, he knows when he should come out.”
“Alright then!”
Feng Luan and Qing Yu nodded. They all knew that Jiang Yi was short of one upper-tier dao pattern before fusing an upper-tier dao pattern. They were certain that he was still in his seclusion for good reasons. If he couldn’t realize it, he would already be out.
However—!
Two days later, when it was the day of the Gods Bestow Festival, Jiang Yi was still in his seclusion. Even Huangfu Taotian was out of the seclusion. Situ Yixiao and Situ Ao also visited him personally, but Jiang Yi was still in the Emperor Place.
When Situ Yixiao and Situ Ao heard that Jiang Yi was at the critical phase of his cultivation, they all showed understanding and wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t attend the wedding tomorrow. After all, cultivation was the most important thing. If he was interrupted, it would be very difficult for him to cultivate it in the future.
The night was approaching, and Qian Wanguan saw that there was still no sign of Jiang Yi coming out. He had no choice but to go to the God Bestow City Plaza to offer sacrifices with Situ Ao and the others.
“Wa!”
When they just flew out from the Situ Residence, Qian Wanguan noticed a commotion on the city plaza. He glanced at the crowd and happened to see a giant black dragon whizzing past. A beautiful green-haired young lady was riding on the dragon. The demon race Princess Qianqian was here again?!
Why doesn’t this demon race Princess stay in the deep sea? Why does she come all at such a critical moment? Hope that nothing will go wrong because of her!
Qian Wanguan was secretly alerted, but Princess Qianqian’s words instantly comforted him. “Qianqian represents the demon race in the Endless Deep Sea to pay respect to Senior Nangong. At the same time, Qianqian congratulates Big Sister Yinian on her wedding.”
Last time, during Princess Qianqian’s one-month stay in the God Bestow, she spent all her time in Situ Small Construct and had a good relationship with Situ Yinian. It was normal for her to deliberately come over for Situ Yinian’s wedding.
Qian Wanguan was relieved and rose up with Situ Ao and his group to welcome Princess Qianqian. Princess Qianqian greeted every one of them back. When she saw Qian Wanguan, she suddenly said, “Young Master Qian, why isn’t Young Master Jiang Yi here?”
Qian Wanguan was stunned. Situ Ao, Lei Tingwei, and the rest felt surprised too. Why didn’t this demon race Princess specifically ask this? Did she have some feelings towards Jiang Yi and want to bring him to the Endless Deep Sea to be her husband?
Qian Wanguan replied honestly. “Boss is still in his seclusion.”
“Oh!”
Princess Qianqian nodded slightly, smiled, and said, “I bought a Heaven Painting last time which I am fond of. I want to meet with the painter, but since he is in seclusion, maybe next time.”
The group was relieved and flew down with Princess Qianqian. The ceremony officially began, and so did the party!
