Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 888 - Trouble Arriving

Chapter 888: Trouble Arriving

Jiang had checked in to the city’s best inn, Immortal Inn. He believed that with Song Zhong’s capability, it would be easy for Song Zhong to find him. Thus, after entering the courtyard, Jiang Yi had been cultivating and not paying attention to outside matters.

Half a day later, Song Zhong had arrived as expected. He didn’t say much and simply brought over a few hundred million celestial stones, delicacies, and local specialties. In addition, he had help Jiang Yi arranged the Heaven Fate Ship to travel over to Buddha Region, and the celestial stones had been paid for. However, it was still rather long before the departure time as the next Heaven Fate Ship would only pass by Heaven Flame City in another 18 days.

Jiang Yi didn’t bother as he didn’t want to ride on other merchant associations’ Heaven Fate Ship. Without the secret cultivation room of one hundred folds speed, it would be extremely boring to stay a few months on the Heaven Fate Ship; and it would be a waste of time.

It was unknown if Tantai Shi had given the instruction, or it was Song Zhong that was very tactful. He didn’t mention anything about the Tantai Clan; neither did he mention the Tantai Shi’s situation back at the clan. He merely sent two Heaven Monarchs to stand guard outside and asked Jiang Yi to inform them if he needed anything.

Jiang Yi didn’t need anything and simply asked them to not bother him. He had never left the Immortal Inn and had been cultivating quietly in the backyard. Until ten days later, the pearl in his possession lit up again; and he walked out of the inn.

This time, it was another individual who had come, and he was an old man. After he entered, he gave Jiang Yi a set of information; and when Jiang Yi took a glance, he was brimming with killing aura.

This time, there was another information which was in regard to the opening of the Purgatory Ruin in eight months. Many East Imperial Nine Thearchs Clans’ young masters and ladies would be participating in it. As the Buddha Thearch had personally given the order, it had attracted countless accomplished youths, young ladies, and young masters from the entire East Imperial Continent. Wu Ni had already departed from the North Thearch City ten days ago, and the Heaven Fate Ship he was riding on would arrive at Buddha Thearch City in approximately six months. According to the scouts of Shadow Emperor, Ji Tingyu... might be accompanying him!

Jiang Yi didn’t care if Wu Ni was going to the Purgatory Ruin to search for treasures or to pick up girls in the Buddha Thearch City, but since Ji Tingyu was going, he paid extra attention to this matter.

Su Ruoxue had been brought into the teleportation array by Ji Tingyu and had directly teleported to the Martial Arts Main Hall. This meant that Su Ruoxue might be in Ji Tingyu’s hands, thus... if he captured Ji Tingyu, he would possibly be able to rescue Su Ruoxue!

“Continue to investigate!”

Jiang Yi had a flash of cold light in his eyes as he yelled with a deep voice, “It is necessary to ensure the credibility of this information. Inform me immediately if Ji Tingyu is truly following to Buddha Thearch City. Also, hand me a set of information on the Buddha Thearch City and Purgatory Ruin!”

Su Ruoxue was Jiang Yi’s most beloved woman, and he was willing to risk everything for Su Ruoxue. As long as Ji Tingyu appeared in Buddha Thearch City, he would do everything to capture Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni and use them to get the Wu Clan to hand Su Ruoxue over. As for whether would he be pursued by the multiple major clans after Su Ruoxue, Jiang Yi no longer considered it.

“My Lord, my superior had asked me to bring a hundred billion celestial stones for you!”

The old man nodded, took out an ancient divine essence ring, and handed it over to Jiang Yi. “My superior said if my Lord needs anything, you can find us to relay the message at any time. Celestial stones isn’t a problem; even a few hundred billion celestial stones are fine.”

“Shadow Emperor is indeed forthright!”

Jiang Yi received the ring and nodded silently after taking a glance inside. Shadow Emperor must have given the order for this 100 billion celestial stones. If not, the scout heads in the East Imperial Continent wouldn’t have such authority.

The old man paused for a moment and spoke again, “My Lord, do you have anything you need to be done in Heaven State Region? We have control of a large city in the Heaven State Region, and my superior mentioned that if my Lord needs help, you can ask for the mobilization of men at any moment.”

“Not required at this moment.”

Jiang Yi shook his hand. Even if he wanted to mobilize men, it would be in Buddha Thearch City to capture Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu. The old man nodded and left. Jiang Yi was surging in his heart and couldn’t stay calm enough to cultivate.

After pacing around the backyard for a few times, he slammed the table and said, “Ji Tingyu, you better not go to Buddha Thearch City this time. Otherwise, I will think of all the methods to capture you.”

Boom!

He slammed so heavily that table made of pomelo wood had been immediately turned into dust and leaving behind a layer of wood shavings.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi had been standing in the main hall while the room’s restriction lit up suddenly. He extended his divine senses, and his face instantly turned cold. His muttered something in his mouth, “What is this hussy here for?”

It was Tantai Shi and Song Zhong. Jiang Yi muttered irresolutely for a moment before he struck out an essence force to open up the restriction. After the room’s door opened, Tantai Shi and Song Zhong walked in.

“Greetings my Lord! This servant is here to pay her respects.”

Tantai Shi was wearing a black dress today. Women seldom wore black dresses while women with flawed figures and skin would never wear black dresses. Of course, Tantai Shi was an exception. The black dress she wore had made her skin even fairer, and this bewitching slender waist was tied up with a black silk belt, outlining perfect curves.

Song Zhong gave his greetings and backed out of the room. Jiang Yi waved his hand casually and said, “Take a seat. Have you gotten used to it after returning home?”

Tantai Shi walked over to sit down in a chair by the side, and when she heard Jiang Yi’s question, her expression turned dark. There was a trace of concern on her brows that couldn’t loosen, but she forced a smile and replied, “Everything is fine. Thank you, my Lord, for the concern.”

Jiang Yi could see that Tantai Shi was having a hard time in the clan, but he didn’t want to ask more and didn’t want to bother as well.

Tantai Shi was also smart enough to not mention this matter anymore. She took out a jade box from her spatial ring and said, “My Lord, this servant doesn’t have much say in the clan and is unable to obtain any valuable treasures. This is a Seven-Star Grass and has very powerful nourishing effects for the soul spirit. My Lord can go ask around as this Seven-Star Grass is rather famous. In addition... my Lord is going to leave in a few days, please forgive this servant for being unable to send you off due to my status as a widow. I am here especially to bid farewell to my Lord.”

Tantai Shi didn’t ask for Jiang Yi’s help and didn’t mention her clan or recruiting them. None of the Tantai Clan’s members had come to bother him either. It was obvious that Tantai Shi had kept his information a secret, and she was here with sincerity to bid farewell. This made Jiang Yi have a better impression of her.

He didn’t try to reject as he received the jade box and nodded. “I indeed have too many things to do. I wish that you will have more fortune. I have promised Xiao Yu that I will come and see her when I have the time, and I will not go back on my words. Alright then... you may return!”

“Take care, my Lord. This servant will not forget my Lord in this lifetime.”

Tantai Shi stood up and bowed while she took a deep stare at Jiang Yi, seemingly wanted to remember him deep in her soul spirit. She turned around and walked outside while Jiang Yi didn’t see her out and stood in the main hall indifferently.

Creak!

Song Zhong closed the door, and Tantai Shi’s seductive figure had vanished from Jiang Yi’s eyes. He rubbed his temples, and he was about to activate the restriction and continue his cultivation.

“Hmph!”

Right at this moment, there was a cold snort that echoed from outside. Immediately after, a gloomy man’s voice echoed, “Younger sister-in-law, my younger brother’s corpse isn’t even cold yet, and you are fooling around with another man? Aren’t you too excessive? Even if you don’t mind the embarrassment, our Tantai Clan cannot afford such embarrassment! Men! Seize this slut and this adulterer and deal with them in the clan’s disciplinary hall.”

“Stop!”

Song Zhong’s angry voice yelled out soon enough, but several powerful aura presences had already enveloped the entire backyard. Jiang Yi could hear Song Zhong’s muffled grunts and Tantai Shi’s agonized scream, “Tantai Ya, stop! You must not be rude to my Lord! Your... terms, I will agree to it.”

“Slut!”

Slap!

A clear slap could be heard before the gloomy man’s gritting sound echoed, “What are all of you waiting for? Go seize that adulterer!”

“Sigh...”

Jiang Yi let out a deep sigh in his room. He didn’t want any trouble, but trouble came looking for him. He slowly pushed opened the room door and swept an indifferent glance while his expression had turned cold instantly.

On the outside, Song Zhong had broken a few ribs as someone struck him with a palm strike, and his head was currently stepped on and laid there motionless. Tantai Shi was sitting on the ground while her face had a fresh red print of a slap while her eyes were filled with tears and anguish.

A gloomy young master in splendid robes stood by the door. He had brought over a dozen Heaven Monarchs, and all the weapons were unsheathed. Four individuals were rushing at him, and their weapons were radiating with threatening cold light.
