“Miss! That’s Ba Dao’s voice…”
On a peak of the Thunder Ridges, Xiao Hong heard the harrowing scream. She turned pale and exclaimed. On the other hand, the young woman in a blue dress and fox fur windbreaker smiled faintly and said, “It’s indeed a good show, but it’s just getting more and more exciting.”
Xiao Hong’s lovely eyes were filled with disbelief. She looked into the distance and turned to Big Sister Bell. “Miss, it sounds like Ba Dao is certainly dead. Did Lone Wolf kill him? Could he possess the powerful presence suppression art? Could he be a mid-tier or high-tier Heaven Monarch? It seems like Chief Long brought dozens of Heaven Monarchs with him. The other chiefs are there, too. Should we go and have a look?”
“Why do we need to go there?”
Big Sister Bell shook her head and smiled lightly. “We just wait here and continue watching the show.”
“But…”
Xiao Hong revealed a look of worry. “So many people are there. How can this Lone Wolf deal with them all? Doesn’t Miss appreciate him very much? If you act now, he will owe you a big favor…”
Big Sister Bell smiled faintly and didn’t respond. She just quietly stood on the hilltop and gazed into the distance. It seemed like she didn’t care about whether Jiang Yi would live or die; she was simply here for fun.
…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the Thunder Ridges behind the Thunder Mountains, twenty people rushed forward violently. Everyone had reached their maximum speed. Chief Long that was in the front most, in particular, was like a stream of light. He rushed into the Thunder Ridges only in a few blinks of an eye and immediately fixed his eyes on Jiang Yi in a distance, who was expropriating the treasures in Ba Dao’s dead body.
“Uh?”
He glanced at the scorched and blackened remains and twitched his mouth. Probably even Ba Dao’s mother wouldn’t be able to identify her son right now. However, Jiang Yi was grabbing a blue pearl. Chief Long instantly recognized that it was Ba Dao’s Water Dragon Pearl. As he ran quickly, he was brainstorming to figure out exactly how Ba Dao died.
Did Jiang Yi kill him?
He was well aware of Ba Dao’s strength. If Jiang Yi could turn Ba Dao into such a horrible shape within such a short time, Jiang Yi could never do it unless he was as mighty as a high-grade Heaven Monarch. Moreover, he had to be a high-grade Heaven Monarch that cultivated the fire-element dao pattern. Jiang Yi was not afraid of fire—it was a possible explanation.
The problem was—!
If Jiang Yi had the ability of a high-grade Heaven Monarch, would he be chased by others like a stray dog and sleep out in the streets for months? Last time when Ba Dao fought with him, Jiang Yi was seriously injured. This suggested that Jiang Yi’s strength was not very strong at all.
It had only been two months since the fight last time. Over such a short time, even the Mystic Thearch couldn’t improve his strength so fast—let alone Jiang Yi.
He asked Ba Dao before. Jiang Yi’s only powerful attack was soul spirit attack, but he never heard that Jiang Yi had any fire-element dao pattern attack. Then, there was only one explanation: Jiang Yi had a fire-element cardinal treasure!
Similarly, there was a problem again. If he had a fire-element cardinal treasure, Ba Dao should be dead the last time they fought. Therefore, after thinking in various angles, Chief Long came to the conclusion that Jiang Yi relied on some strange tricks and used the help of Thunder Fire to kill Ba Dao!
Jiang Yi asked Ba Dao here to make a deal, but what kind of deal did he want to make? If he truly wanted to make a deal, why didn’t he look for Big Sister Bell? No one would dare to do anything to him if Big Sister Bell gave the command.
He asked for Ba Dao but killed him by surprise after Ba Dao was five kilometers into the Thunder Ridges. Ba Dao was burned to death so it was very highly possible that Jiang Yi plotted to kill Ba Dao using the Thunder Fire.
Swish!
Chief Long was very quick in mind. He had figured out what happened as he flew towards Jiang Yi.
The reason why he reached this conclusion was that he didn’t know that Jiang Yi had a cardinal treasure like the Fire Spirit Pearl, or he had a very peculiar body that would withstand the thunder in the Thunder Fire. Of course, no one on the entire Sky Thunder Island would believe this—let alone him.
Swish!
Jiang Yi—on the other side—seized Ba Dao’s Water Dragon Pearl and Ancient Divine Essence Ring, and then he turned around. Upon seeing Chief Long, a trace of fear flickered across his eyes before quickly running away.
“Chase…”
No matter how Jiang Yi managed to kill Ba Dao; Chief Long decided to hunt him down as best they could. If they didn’t seize this opportunity now, it might be more difficult to kill him in the future. Besides, this thing was blown out of proportion now; the whole city was watching them. He would never chicken out. Otherwise, his pride would not allow him to stay on the Sky Thunder Island.
Swish!
His speed was at the maximum. He kept reducing the distance between Jiang Yi, and his divine senses swept Jiang Yi over and over again. He glanced around and was extremely discreet. Ba Dao was tricked and killed by Jiang Yi just now; how could he not be careful?
Five kilometers, four kilometers… three kilometers!
As the two sides were getting closer, Jiang Yi looked more and more terrible. He suddenly sent a voice transmission that said: “Chief Long, how about we make a deal?”
“A deal?”
Chief Long was expressionless, but he was sneering in his heart. Was Jiang Yi going to use the same trick again? Okay… he would play along with him and beat him at his own game.
He paused and sent a voice transmission: “Kid, you’re dying and still want to trick me? Ba Dao came in to make a deal with you and ended up in death. Do you consider me a fool?”
“No, that’s not what happened.”
Jiang Yi shook his head, panic-stricken, and sent a voice transmission that said: “Ba Dao was accidentally burned by the Thunder Fire surging from the mountains. It’s none of my business. Chief Long, I have the Destitute Dragon Grass. As long as you can guarantee me entrance to the city, I will give it to you.”
“It’s indeed a trick.”
Chief Long was more certain that Jiang Yi killed Ba Dao with a scheme. After all, how can Ba Dao not notice the Thunder Fire in the mountains? The temperature was much higher next to the mountains; Ba Dao was not an idiot.
He went along with Jiang Yi again and smiled coldly. “Destitute Dragon Grass? Do you still want to fool me? Why don’t you keep it to yourself if you really have the Destitute Dragon Grass? Even if you want to make a deal, why don’t you find other chiefs? I remember we have an unpleasant history.”
Two kilometers… 1.5 kilometers!
While Chief Long bullsh*tted with Jiang Yi, he quickly reduced the distance between them. Jiang Yi wanted to trick him so he would improvise on his game. Once they got closer, he would be able to clench Jiang Yi to death.
“Chief Long, stop going after me!”
Jiang Yi appeared more frightened, his face was full of despair. There was no Thunder Fire around him. He seemed to be at his wits’ end and had no choice but to send a voice transmission: “Chief Long, I really have the Destitute Dragon Grass. I will die too if I can’t go inside the city. I’m really desperate. I don’t know the other chiefs. It is precisely because there is enmity between us, I find you to make a deal. Otherwise, if I make a deal with others, won’t you still chase after me?”
Swish!
Chief Long suddenly sped up and reduced the distance between them to about 500 meters. He smiled evilly and said, “Kid, do you think I am as stupid as Ba Dao? Die!”
Light radiated on his hand. Once the essence force was congealed, it caused the space to shake. A horrifying aura spread out; he was clearly going to release a powerful dao pattern attack.
“Wait!”
Jiang Yi suddenly stopped flying in mid-air. The Ancient Divine Essence Ring shone, and a white jade box appeared. The box looked ancient with mysterious patterns carved on it. It didn’t look like a common item at first glance. Even the box was so extraordinary; if there were indeed treasures inside, they must be the cardinal treasures!
This box was indeed the one that contained the Destitute Dragon Grass. Jiang Yi took out the box and suddenly threw it behind Chief Long to his left. At the same time, he shouted, “Chief Li, help me take care of Chief Long, and you can have this Destitute Dragon Grass. I’ll give you some pseudo-divine artifacts later…”
“Chief Li?”
Chief Long was staring at the box and couldn’t decide what to do. Upon hearing ‘Chief Li’, his body instinctively trembled and turned his eyes and divine senses towards left side behind him.
