Chapter 276: Young Lord!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Lan Clan Head had been in seclusion for many months to break through to the Vajra Realm; hence, he only knew Jiang Yi’s name on a basis of hearsay. He didn’t know about the heroic feats that Jiang Yi had achieved during this recent period of time and didn’t know that Jiang Yi had such a great status in the heart of the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s King. A single order from Jiang Yi was enough for the King’s no.1 dauntless general to make a move!
“Wait!”
The Lan Clan Head shouted out and wanted to say something. However, seven or eight of the Soul Travel Realm experts released their essence force at the same time—all towards Lan Yu. The Third Elder wanted to rescue Lan Yu, but one of the essence force attacks was shot out by a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert; hence, he didn’t even dare to approach. Everyone could only helplessly look on as multiple essence force attacks headed towards Lan Yu.
“Ah? Father! Save me!”
Lan Yu screamed with fright while the Lan Clan Head’s curved saber lit up. With all the Soul Travel Realm experts glaring at him—if he was to make a move, they would immediately attack. Furthermore, those multiple essence force attacks were so brutal. Even if he risked his life, it would still be difficult to save Lan Yu.
“Boom!”
Lan Yu’s strength was too weak. Even though he managed to dodge a little, his body was still struck by the multiple essence force attacks. He was blown up into pieces, mutilated while still alive.
“Yu’er!”
“Young Clan Head!”
The Lan Clan Head shrieked out helplessly while all the elders screamed as well. Everyone glared at Jiang Yi so much that their eyes were going to pop out. They wished they could tear Jiang Yi’s flesh apart and drink his blood! If it wasn’t for the fifty Soul Travel Realm experts from the Saint Spirit Kingdom here, they would have probably put their lives on the line to kill Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi spectated with cold eyes and without a hint of emotion. When he saw everyone’s emotional expression, he spoke indifferently, “Anyone… must be responsible for the wrongdoings that they have done. Since Lan Yu knew Jiang Yunhai was my Grandfather and yet dared to deal with Xia Wuhui, he must have understood that he was ready to face death! Today, I am the one who ordered the kill on your Young Clan Head. If your Lan Clan wants to take revenge on me, I will welcome it anytime! If you have the capability to kill me, I will have no complaints!”
Jiang Yi left his statement and strode out with big steps while Ling Yi and his men followed closely behind. General He bowed with cupped hands and spoke to the Lan Clan Head, “Old Lan, my apologies! The King has given his orders, and I have no choice but to comply. The current Saint Spirit Kingdom cannot afford to offend Jiang Yi. Once this matter is ended, I will visit again to offer my apologies!”
After General He finished his apologies, he gestured for everyone to follow out and chase after Jiang Yi. General He then asked, “Patrol Envoy Jiang, who are you going to save? We will provide our full support for the rescue.”
Jiang Yi was standing outside of Lan Yu’s mansion as he looked to the east and replied, “Lan Yu captured my Grandfather Jiang Yunhai, and he knew of his status and yet still offered to deal with Xia Wuhui, selling my Grandfather to him. Right now, my Grandfather is being transported by Xia Wuhui’s men towards the Divine Martial Kingdom. The Lan Clan Head mentioned that he should still be in the Saint Spirit Kingdom! Can I trouble General He to assemble your men to scout his location? Once my Grandfather is rescued, we will leave immediately.”
“Alright!”
General He nodded and ordered one of the Soul Travel Realm experts to look for Lan Clan Head. They left soon enough and were apparently making arrangements.
“We will first pursue towards the east! General He, once you find Xia Wuhui’s men, you do not have to make a move. You just need to provide us with information!”
Time was of essence, and Jiang Yi didn’t dare to sit around in the city with Ling Yi and look at each other. The group began to make haste in a frenzy towards the east. General He made some arrangements and quickly followed Jiang Yi closely with a few dozen men. They felt relief when Jiang Yi actually asked them not to make a move since they did not have to offend Xia Wuhui’s men.
“Bang!”
Just as everyone ventured out of the city, there was this loud explosion that sounded off in Lan Yu’s mansion. The furious Lan Clan Head used the saint artifact to cleave half of Lan Yu’s mansion into smithereens and even killed more than a few dozen subordinates.
From start to end, the Lan Clan Head didn’t dare to risk his life against Jiang Yi and the others, as General He was representing the King of Saint Spirit Kingdom. Of course, Jiang Yi and General He had so many Soul Travel Realm experts around. Even if the Lan Clan wanted to clash head-on, they wouldn’t be able to.
…
Jiang Yi and the others had been rushing towards the east. General He had a piece of jade talisman that was similar to Principal Qi’s which was flashing every now and then. It was obvious that the various scouts were reporting to him.
After rushing into midnight, General He suddenly shouted out with delight, “Patrol Envoy Jiang! There is news! Just tonight, the people within Mountain Ghost City spotted a group that looked like Xia Wuhui’s Special Envoy. That group of individuals booked the largest inn in the city and is currently spending the night there!”
“Mountain Ghost City? Lead the way!”
Jiang Yi’s body shook as he immediately yelled out. General He was also filled with excitement as they traveled at full speed towards the east. The Mountain Ghost City was a city situated at the utmost eastern part, and any further east would be the Forest of Sin. Fortunately, the scouts report back early. If Xia Wuhui’s men made it into the Forest of Sin, they would completely lose their trails.
It was a quiet autumn night which was rather cold. The chilling winds blew across, leaving a chilly sensation on everyone’s faces.
Jiang Yi and his group made it to Mountain Ghost City before dawn. General He gestured with a wave of his hand for his subordinates to change into stealthy clothing and cover their faces, infiltrating the city like leopard cats.
Even though Jiang Yi mentioned that he didn’t need their help, General He had this obvious mindset to curry favor with Jiang Yi. Since Jiang Yi and his group weren’t going to mask themselves, Xia Wuhui would settle this debt with Jiang Yi.
“Swish! Swish! ”
Dozens of individuals sneaked into the city, which was patrolled by guards of the city. How could such a small city contain any experts? They all sneaked in effortlessly and soon arrived at a large inn.
“Surround it!”
With a wave of General He’s hand, his subordinates scattered in all directions, entrapping the inn. Jiang Yi waved his hand and instructed, “Ling Yi, enter along with you men. Remember! The rescue takes priority, and do not be reckless!”
Ling Yi and the others nodded as the ten of them turned into ten afterimages and rushed in. Jiang Yi’s strength was too weak and didn’t dare to enter; hence, he had no choice but to wait outside.
As the time ticked by, Jiang Yi’s heart was thumping very quickly; and his heart was already at his throat.
“Bang!”
All of a sudden, there was this explosion on the second floor of the inn as one of the walls burst open. This explosion was like a fuse which created an uproar. There were sounds of battle that came from the inn, which was followed with miserable screams which broke the serenity of the small city.
“Not good!”
Jiang Yi thought it wasn’t good, and soon enough, Ling Yi’s shouts echoed. “Let go of Jiang Yunhai, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, you will be dead for sure!”
“Swish!”
Jiang Yi couldn’t take it anymore as he burst towards the inn. General He muttered to himself for a moment before he led over dozen subordinates and flocked into the inn behind Jiang Yi.
The waiters and innkeeper of the inn were already alarmed and were squatting while trembling on the ground. They didn’t even dare to move as they were afraid they might be mistakenly killed.
Jiang Yi took a quick glance and quickly went upstairs, only to see it was filled with corpses. It was in a complete disorder, and obviously, they were killed by Ling Yi and his men.
He didn’t even pause as he continued to move upwards to the third floor. His blade-like eyes swept across, and his body was suddenly trembling while his eyes were glistening with tears. He yelled out, “Grandfather!”
On the third floor, Ling Yi and his men had surrounded a middle-aged martial artist who was actually quite formidable at the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm. Right now, one of his hand was strangling the neck of an old man with grizzled hair while on his other hand was this radiating long saber which was placed on this old man’s neck.
This old man was dressed shabbily, had disheveled hair, and robes tainted with blood. There wasn’t any hint of essence force coming from his body, and his eyes were rolling white from suffocation after being strangled by this middle-aged man.
“En?”
When he heard Jiang Yi’s yelling which was choked with emotion, the old man suddenly shot out two glimmers of light towards Jiang Yi. With a single glance, the old man’s body trembled as he had an expression of disbelief and mumbled, “Young Lord? Is that you?”
