Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 969 - Exchange

Chapter 969: Exchange

Qi Tianyu had no way to respond to Wu Ni’s request as this matter had to be decided by Jiang Yi. Hence, he teleported and left.
He didn’t head back to the Xuan King Region and had teleported everywhere in the Wu Clan’s four regions. Since he was an envoy and no one dared to obstruct him as he had the token that Wu Ni handed to him, he teleported through dozens of teleportation array and finally stayed in a large city inside the North Thearch Region.
Once Qi Tianyu moved, Wu Ni’s men would immediately stalk him; and there was an Astrologer that was always tracing him. At any moment, there would be people monitoring him closely as they wanted to see who was he making contact with, allowing them to find clues to search for Jiang Yi.
Wu Ni was very disappointed as Qi Tianyu didn’t contact anyone. After he stayed in the large city, he casually took a shower and ate a meal before sleeping. He then continued to teleport on the second day. He had led Wu Ni’s subordinate on a huge detour, from the Ye Clan’s territory to and finally to an ancient aristocratic clan’s territory which was south of Ye Clan. He had teleported a few hundred times in a single day and had truly exhausted the people that were stalking him.
On the third day, Qi Tianyu was still teleporting; and he didn’t have any lack of celestial stones. This time, Jiang Yi had given him a few billion celestial stones for him to teleport as he desired. He went to the She Clan’s territory in the east, and he was teleporting at an extreme pace. Wu Ni’s men could no longer keep up.
The men that were stalking Qi Tianyu weren’t just one or two individuals. There was an Astrologer, Divine Pattern Master, Demigod expert, spatial dao pattern experts, soul spirit attack experts, and a large group of people. From the start, they had been teleported and following him from behind; but once they were outside of the Wu Clan’s territories, they didn’t dare to teleport anymore as they were afraid they would be discovered. Thus, they had no choice but to rely on the Astrologer and the Divine Pattern Master to track Qi Tianyu.
Qi Tianyu had let the group of people on a detour; however, Jiang Yi had received the information on the second day. Just to be safe, as soon as he received the information, he immediately put that person conveying the message into the Thearch Palace. He then left with Heaven Evasion after exiting the city.
After he reached the wilderness, he changed his appearance and the soul spirit aura presence before he contemplated. Wu Ni’s demand was very excessive, but the more excessive it was, the more Jiang Yi believed that Su Ruoxue was truly in their hands. If they dared to trick him, Jiang Yi would ultimately take revenge with blood.
Su Ruoxue had to be rescued, and it wasn’t a problem for him to swear that he would never go against the Wu Clan ever again or to enter the East Imperial Continent again. Oaths weren’t worth anything. He could also leave the East Imperial Continent immediately and return to Sin Island. He could even give up the Mystic Divine Palace and wait until he cultivated to the peak stage of Demigod and had enough strength before he killed his way back into the continent.
The history was written by the victors, and reputation wasn’t anything to Jiang Yi. Back at Stellarsky Continent, he had carried the burden of a life of infamy and betrayed the Divine Martial Kingdom. Afterward, when his strength was enough to dictate the Stellarsky Continent, he was still praised by everyone and was believed to be the savior.
Hence, all these oaths were like bullshit that wasn’t worth anything. He could make the oath as long as Su Ruoxue could come back safely. As for the ancient artifact, he would rather hate to part with it. This thing was the only hope for him to extinguish the entire Wu Clan.
“That’s right… memories are wiped after exiting the Purgatory Ruin. They would only be able to record down that I have obtained an ancient artifact, but no one knew what kind of ancient artifact it was, right?”
Jiang Yi had an idea. Since Wu Ni didn’t know what he obtained, why not just hand over a fake artifact to fulfill the deal? It would be fine as long as it was an ancient artifact. Jiang Yi didn’t care about the prowess of it, as long as it looked powerful enough.
The Thearch Palace in his hand flashed, and he let out the person that was conveying the message and immediately instructed. “You will reply Qi Tianyu that the first condition isn’t a problem. As for the ancient artifact, just secretly go and purchase one. Find one that looks aggressive and powerful on the appearance, but it doesn’t have to be a functional ancient artifact. Since they are going to hand over the hostage as soon as you hand over the treasure—once you rescue Su Ruoxue, you don’t have to bother about me and teleport her all the way to Sin Island. As long as I don’t appear, Wu Ni wouldn’t dare to pursue and kill any of you.”
Jiang Yi immediately left with the Heaven Evasion after he finished giving his instructions. The enemy might be tracking this person’s aura presence and looking for him. He had to be cautious. Just as he mentioned, as long as he wasn’t dead, Qi Tianyu and others would be safe.
It was good to be cautious, but he had overestimated the capabilities of the Wu Clan’s intelligence members, and he had underestimated the Shadow Emperor’s men’s information conveying capability. This person had made it all the way to the interior of the city and still wasn’t tracked by anyone.
The Shadow Emperor’s race was the strongest in terms of spying and intelligence; there was no one else that was better.
Had it not been for the Shadow Emperor’s race, the demon race would have been exterminated back then; and Sin Island would have been turned into ashes a long time ago. Qi Tianyu and his clan had infiltrated the continent for tens of thousands of years and had yet to be discovered. One could clearly see their capabilities.
Qi Tianyu’s men had also acted according to Jiang Yi’s instruction and searched for an ancient artifact. Ancient artifacts were rare, but some had been found in ancient ruins. Those impractical ancient artifacts could also be easily bought. They took one day to find an ancient artifact and spent one billion celestial stones to purchase it.
Qi Tianyu had also obtained a special message and had led a group of people to teleport towards the North Level City. He had detoured half the East Imperial Continent and made Wu Ni’s men ran around in circles. He spent two days to teleport back to the North Level City to meet with Wu Ni and agreed to his conditions.
However, Wu Ni had hesitated and said he would have to consider for half a day. He left Qi Tianyu and went into the inner courtyard of the city lord residence. There was an elegant pavilion in the inner courtyard, and there was a woman in a yellow dress that was trimming the plants. She had a peaceful and calm expression like a flower fairy.
When Wu Ni saw Ji Tingyu, his heart had somehow calmed down. He walked over and let out a slight sigh. “There has been no information on Jiang Yi’s whereabouts. His envoy had brought along his instructions and agreed to our terms. I reckon that the ancient artifact that he brought over could be a fake. Tingyu, what should we do?”
“If it is a fake, then so be it. Your Wu Clan is massive and accomplished and isn’t lacking such treasures.”
Ji Tingyu didn’t stop what she was doing and continued to snip at the plants. She paused for a moment and said, “If he wants the hostage, then let him have her. I had originally planned to give him this hostage anyway.”
“Give him…”
Wu Ni’s straight brows locked together as he asked, “What if he took the person and continued to attack us?”
“He will not take the person!”
Ji Tingyu turned around and smiled. “Jiang Yi is very cautious, and I know him very well. If I didn’t guess wrongly, he will not appear this time either but will quietly follow as a guard. He will escort Su Ruoxue to Sin Island. Don’t worry, my later plan has already started. This time, if there aren’t any accidents, he will not be able to escape this calamity.”
When Wu Ni saw Ji Tingyu’s mesmerizing smile and her expression that seemed to be able to predict everything, he felt relaxed. He nodded and walked out to start the deal with Qi Tianyu.
Qi Tianyu didn’t simply hand the ancient artifact over but spoke seriously, “My Young Master said that as long as Young Lady Su leaves the East Imperial Continent safely, he will make an announcement to the continent and would never take another step into East Imperial Continent. As for the ancient artifact, it has to be exchanged with the hostage. Where is Young Lady Su?”
There wasn’t any purpose in making the announcement, and Wu Ni didn’t insist, too. He simply beckoned his hand and yelled out, “Bring the person here!”
A group of guards used a stretcher to carry out a woman. That woman was wearing a white dress and was intoxicatingly beautiful. It was a pity that she was in a deep slumber and was just like a sleeping beauty.
“It is Young Lady Su!”
Qi Tianyu’s eyes lit up as she looked exactly the same as the portrait that Jiang Yi gave him. However, he didn’t immediately make the exchange and simply waited silently. He knew that Jiang Yi would be in the nearby one million miles radius and was probably examining right now. He had to obtain Jiang Yi’s confirmation first.
“Ruoxue!”
Jiang Yi was indeed on a mountain top which was one million miles away. He had transformed into a demonic beast and was releasing his Divine Perception to examine. One had to admit that this person that Ji Tingyu found simply too alike as though she was carved out of the same mold as Su Ruoxue. Furthermore, there wasn’t any art of disguise being used, but she was in a deep slumber and her soul spirit was in stillness. He couldn’t detect her soul spirit aura presence.
Jiang Yi was very far away and could only use his Divine Perception to roughly examine. Thus, he scanned a few times and quickly crushed a jade talisman in his hand.
Swish!
In just one hour, a figure teleported into the North Level City’s teleportation array. It was one of Qi Tianyu’s subordinates, and after he teleported over, he immediately transmitted a message to Qi Tianyu. “Young Master said that the exchange can be carried out.”
“Jiang Yi is in the vicinity as expected!”
Wu Ni secretly made a hand signal, and his eyes had flashed with a trace of delight. Of course, there was also a trace of killing aura that couldn’t be concealed.
