Swish! Swish!
An hour after Jiang Yi left, a group of people cut through the sky from the north. Among them, there were at least five five-star formidable martial artists. This group of people was instigated to come by Zhan Tianlei. On seeing the Heaven Fate Ship break apart and the mountain of corpses on the ground, their expressions changed immediately.
“Reporting to Sixteenth Elder—everybody’s souls have been torn apart. Apart from Li Hong and two other people, everybody else’s bodies have been left completely unharmed. All of them died from the impact on their souls! Li Hong’s dantian has been crippled, and he has been castrated, but... he’s not dead! Zhan Fu and the others have been killed as well.”
The group of people spread out to look around and quickly came back with a report. A man with a head full of white hair tutted and gave orders, “Zhan Hu, Zhan Xiong, send Li Hong back to the Chen Clan in the Divine Sonar City. Don’t say anything. Just say that you came across him and decided to lend a hand. Take Zhan Fu and the other corpses back here as well. Tell Young Master about what happened here and ask him how he wants to settle things.
“The rest of you, spread out and go after Yi San. Yi San killed Zhan Fu and the others. He must have blood on his hands. Try and sense this. Once you find him, don’t do anything to him. This man is a strong spiritual martial artist. One or two of you will not be his match for sure.”
“Understood!”
Apart from two of them who went back to Divine Sonar City, the rest of the two hundred of them spread out to search for Yi San.
Another hour passed before Zhan Hu and Zhan Xiong arrived back at Divine Sonar City. They spread the news about what happened to Li Hong. Soon, all of Divine Sonar City had heard the news.
Many people hated this disgusting, old pervert. Some of them who heard the news clapped in celebration, but more other people looked worried. Li Hong was the biological younger brother of the Li Clan’s Family Head and the uncle of the Yin Emperor. This man was attacked just a few miles away from Divine Sonar City. If the Chen Clan did not offer an adequate explanation, many other clans would face the wrath of the Li Clan and the Yin Clan.
When the Chen Clan received news of what had happened, everybody was shocked. The Chen Clan’s Family Head gave orders for everyone from the clan and who was within the city to come back for a meeting. Yet another hour later, all the formidable martial artists in the city were sent out to look for the perpetrator. All the towns in the city were on lockdown. Not only was the army gathered and activated, but even the civilians in the city were sent out to search.
Yin Ruobing and the people from the Yin Clan who came to offer their congratulations were still around. Once they received news, they gathered their subordinates and sent them out to chase after the perpetrator as well. Everyone in the Divine Sonar Region was on their toes.
...
“Keke!”
From a subsidiary wing in the Chen Clan’s courtyard, a chilling laugh was heard. Zhan Tianlei heard that the Chen Clan had sent countless formidable martial artists out to search for Yi San. He could not keep from laughing at this.
The Divine Sonar Region was the Chen Clan’s territory. Would they not know who did this? Li Hong had just left when Yi San left the city as well. Did the Chen Clan really not know this?
Yi San had just become a disciple of the Sonar Thearch before something like this happened just outside the city. Did the Chen Clan really have nothing to do with this? From the moment he received news and the time he sent his strong army, a full hour had passed. The Chen Clan was quite efficient, wasn’t it?
“Uncle Gui, can Li Hong’s brain be healed?”
Zhan Tianlei asked after pondering for a long while. A dark figure dressed in black robes appeared in the corner. He shook his head and said, “It would be extremely difficult. I checked him myself. His brain has sustained a serious injury, and his soul has been damaged. Unless we are willing to pay a huge price for it or if the Yin Emperor personally does something for him, Li Hong would probably not be able to recover from this.
“Li Hong has done so many evil things in his life and has attracted so much trouble to himself. I guess that the Li Clan has been ready for something like this to happen for a long time. Even the Yin Emperor would probably not bother doing anything.”
“This rascal Yi San is really ruthless.”
Zhan Tianlei’s expression hardened. He said in a low voice, “How can this rascal be so strong? How did he destroy everybody’s souls in just a split-second? This spiritual attack was so formidable that even if it only attacked half of your mind, you would still be left dead.”
Zhan Tianlei did not link Yi San and Jiang Yi together, however. After all, Jiang Yi had already been missing for more than two years. There were even rumors going around that he had been killed by the North Thearch. Upon seeing Jiang Yi, the Sonar Thearch also did not show any strange expressions. It seemed like there had been nothing wrong with Jiang Yi’s identity. Zhan Tianlei also did not know that the Sonar Thearch was connected to the Shadow Emperor. Li Hong’s people had also been killed by a spiritual attack, which Jiang Yi was not known for making use of.
“Young Master!”
The man in the black robe suddenly said, “Should we spread the news that Yi San was the one who attacked Li Hong? This way, the Chen Clan would not dare to hold back their efforts to chase him, and the Yin Clan would not be able to ignore this.”
“We can’t...”
Zhan Tianlei shrugged and said, “We have Li Hong who has now become a retard. There’s no more value to him. Li Hong’s reputation is too awful. The Yin Clan would surely not lift even a finger for his sake. They might even be secretly rejoicing over his death. If we blow this matter up, the Sonar Thearch would surely step out to protect him. Yi San will get away scot-free. When that time comes, even we won’t be able to go after him. Now, we can still go after him on the pretext of seeking revenge on behalf of Ruobing. Even if we kill Yi San on that ground, the Sonar Thearch would not be able to say anything.”
The man in the black robe realized that there was a logic behind what Zhan Tianlei was saying. Once again, he cupped his hands and said, “The problem is that Yi San is so strong. Even if the Sixteenth Elder and the others made use of the Blood Debt Technique to chase after him, you would have to take action in order to kill him. Otherwise, asking the clan to gather the formidable martial artists would be the next best option.”
“No way!”
Zhan Tianlei shook his head resolutely. “You know the clan rules as well as I do. Yi San has not done anything to offend us. If we gather the formidable martial artists of our clan and if Grandfather finds out about this, I can forget about becoming the Great Young Master. Why not... Uncle Gui, you make a trip down yourself. Ask the clans in the surrounding regions that are on good terms with ours. Ask them to gather their formidable martial artists to kill Yi San. Tell them it is a favor from me personally, so that they would not make a scene out of it. Also... if we kill Yi san, remember to take the two girls from the Fairy Lady Race back as well.”
“Alright!”
The man in the black robe cupped his hands and disappeared without another sound. Zhan Tianlei muttered to himself with a murderous glare. “Yi San, I don’t care if you’re the Tang Clan’s slave or the Sonar Thearch’s favorite disciple. If you dare to offend Ruobing, I will kill you!”
“Ruobing...”
Just thinking about that fairy-like woman made Zhan Tianlei feel a mixture of love and hate. Ever since he saw Yin Ruobing for the first time five years ago, Zhan Tianlei has been head-over-heels in love with her. Despite wooing her for several years, Yin Ruobing continued to alternate between hot and cold toward him. Sometimes, she would feel close by. Other times, she would feel distant.
After he became a Demigod a couple of months ago, his reputation increased wildly. The first request he made to his father was to allow him to ask for Yin Ruobing’s hand in marriage. To his absolute delight, the Yin Emperor agreed to give him her hand in marriage. Thereafter, the both of them got engaged.
However—
After they got engaged, Zhan Tianlei realized that Yin Ruobing was still treating him the same way. To his face, she was polite and casual. However, she was still icy cold inside. She never opened her heart to him. Even though he accompanied her millions of miles all the way here to the Divine Sonar Region, Yin Ruobing still did not feel even a bit of love toward Zhan Tianlei.
This made Zhan Tianlei feel extremely hurt. Even though he obtained her person, he could not earn her heart. What was the meaning of it all then? He thought at first that Yin Ruobing was naturally this guarded and that she would never be moved by anyone. However, he found out a huge secret of hers today—she had an extraordinary relationship with another man before. How could he not feel angry? How could he not go crazy?
After Li Hong got into trouble, Yin Ruobing sent formidable martial artists from her clan out to look for the killer. However, Zhan Tianlei knew very well that Yin Ruobing had not even been in the least bit angry. In fact, it seemed like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. What’s more, she did not pressure the Chen Clan to find the killer at all. In fact, she did not say a single word before she returned to her own residence.
What did this show? It showed that she already knew that Yi San was going to kill Li Hong. Li Hong did not die only because Yi San was showing respect to Yin Ruobing!
This was the full story.
Everything showed that Yin Ruobing and that Yi San had an extraordinary relationship. The woman that Zhan Tianlei loved—his very own wife—was in love with another man. Anyone would be enraged by this situation.
Bang!
The more Zhan Tianlei thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed his hands down on the table, causing it to be reduced to dust. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Yi San, you must die. You must die!”
