Chapter 1393: The Flooring is Very Expensive
The number-one person in the Earth Emanations Domain was without question the Earth Emanations Sovereign. After all, he was the ruler of this domain. Furthermore, he possessed a very special mystical ability that even some powerful men in the Heaven Domain were wary about.
The number-two character in the Earth Emanations Domain was also without doubt Jiutian Wu, the Earth Emanations Domain Battle G.o.d Pavilion General Pavilion Lord!
The Battle G.o.d Pavilion was the strongest faction in the Higher Domain. It was the major player resisting the advances of the Netherworld Realm, having half of the human race’s formidable martial artists under its wing. The Battle G.o.d Pavilion was co-founded by the four Supreme Thearchs and was extremely influential in the human race. Whoever went against the Battle G.o.d Pavilion would be courting his own death.
Hence, in the Earth Emanations Domain, the surname Jiutian represented the utmost power and authority. The Jiutian Clan even had a very peculiar rule that if one did not pa.s.s the clan’s appraisal, he did not have the right to use the Jiutian Clan name. This person would also not be allowed to say that he was a disciple of the Jiutian Clan.
Today, a Jiutian Clan young master had come to the Divine Eagle City; this was a very favored young master at that. If he wasn’t, how could he have become the Blue Eagle Prefecture Battle G.o.d Pavilion’s a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord at such a young age?
The Divine Eagle City Battle G.o.d Pavilion Lord Rong Wei had been brought in externally. Since Luo Fu had died, there had to be someone holding the fort in the Battle G.o.d Pavilion Branch here. Rong Wei’s luck was pretty good. He was only an upper-tier G.o.d King and had been made the Divine Eagle City Battle G.o.d Pavilion Lord.
However, at this moment, Rong Wei felt that it had been a very unwise decision coming to the Divine Eagle City. Previously, he had been an a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord in another city. He knew that if today’s matter was not handled properly, he might not be able to hold onto his position for long.
“Jiang Yi, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d dog!”
Rong Wei cursed incessantly along the way. Jiang Yi had sealed off the Crazed G.o.d Castle; Young Master Jiutian and Young Mistress He would definitely find fault with him for this. From the way the few of them had been looking at him without a sliver of a smile, Rong Wei knew that regardless of the reason—since something had happened on his watch in his territory, his superiors would think him as useless.
They reached the Jiang Manor very soon.
Rong Wei hurriedly got off the war chariot and ran in front. He shouted at the Earth Emanations Army soldier guarding the door and said, “Hurry up and report! Young Master Jiutian, Young Mistress He, and Pavilion Lord Da have arrived. Ask the City Lord to come out to receive them!”
The four guards at the door were all G.o.d Generals. Seeing Rong Wei rus.h.i.+ng forward, they instinctively took out their weapons as if a formidable foe had appeared. Hearing his words, their faces darkened as one of them said coldly, “Step back! Those that wish to see the City Lord have to present an invitation card!”
Plop!
Rong Wei staggered a little as he almost fell on the ground. He stared at the guards with a murderous aura as he said, “Are you guys blind? Do you not recognize me?”
“No, we don’t!”
One guy said honestly, “We had just been transferred here; we used to be from the tribe. My Lord, regardless of who you are, our commander has said that unless it is someone from the Demon-Killing Pavilion, anyone else that wants to enter the Jiang Manor has to present an invitation card!”
Rong Wei’s eyes grew dark as he almost wanted to faint. Young Master Jiutian, Young Mistress He, and Pavilion Lord Da were sitting in the three war chariots behind him. He couldn’t make them wait outside, could he? Invitation card? Where was he going to get an invitation card at this time?
“What is it?”
At this moment, a voice traveled from inside. Commander Liu’s small figure appeared beyond the door. He looked at Rong Wei as his face revealed a sliver of surprise. He immediately cupped his hands and said, “Oh? It is Pavilion Lord Rong? What is it? You wish to see the City Lord!”
“Old Liu! Do not act stupid with me!”
Rong Wei gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission: “Young Master Jiutian, Young Mistress He, Pavilion Lord Da are behind me. Hurry up and get Jiang Yi here to receive them!”
Commander Liu’s blinked, slightly confused. Following that, he went forward agitatedly as he cupped his hands towards the three war chariots and said, “My apologies. I did not know it was Young Master Jiutian, Young Mistress He, and Pavilion Lord Da. Please come in.”
After greeting them, Commander Liu immediately turned to reprimand the few Earth Emanations Army soldiers. “What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and invite the City Lord out to receive the guests!”
Buzz!
The restrictions on the three war chariots shone as an impressive-looking young master, a young mistress wearing a sash, and a middle-aged formidable martial artist walked out. The eight guards behind the war chariots swiftly followed and surrounded the trio.
What a sight!
Commander Liu smiled coldly internally. All eight guards were Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d-equivalent. This Young Master Jiutian and Young Mistress He were indeed formidable. Young Master Jiutian looked at Commander Liu as he coldly said, “Lead the way!”
Commander Liu swiftly brought the group inside and into the biggest central hall, asking for the four to be seated. He then instructed a maidservant to bring some good tea. He then smiled and said, “Young Master Jiutian, Young Mistress He, Pavilion Lord Da, Pavilion Lord Rong, please take a seat. I will go now to invite the City Lord out. These underlings are really too much! They can’t even handle such a small thing properly…”
“Hmph!”
Young Master Jiutian’s features were very prominent. His nose was very tall, and his eyes were like lightning. He also emitted prowess even when he wasn’t angry. He coldly snorted and said, “Your City Lord is really something. Even when Xiao Hong sees me, he wouldn’t dare to have such airs. On my way back, I really have to ask Xiao Hong how he teaches his subordinates!”
“Report!”
Commander Liu had not left yet when a G.o.d General hurriedly came. He replied respectfully, “My Lord, the City Lord is in seclusion now and has activated the restrictions. I do not dare to disturb…”
“En?”
This G.o.d General had just finished speaking when Rong Wei and the guards that Young Master Jiutian and Young Mistress He had brought grew murderous, their faces full of rage.
This time, they were really angry. Jiang Yi had just wreaked havoc in the Crazed G.o.d Castle; now, he had gone into seclusion? Who would believe that? He was obviously not giving Young Master Jiutian, Young Mistress He, and the others any face.
“Please do not be angry, my Lords!”
Commander Liu laughed apologetically as he said, “Please wait patiently. I will personally go and invite the City Lord out. He will definitely come!”
After speaking, Commander Liu swiftly left. Young Master Jiutian’s upbringing was pretty good. He did not say anything at all; it wasn’t his personality to cause trouble for a servant. As for Young Mistress He and Pavilion Lord Da, they also did not say anything and did not drink any tea. They sat there quietly just like that.
These few big personalities were indeed brought up well. They did not display any feelings even after waiting for ten minutes. However, when Jiang Yi had not appeared even after one hour, the guards and Rong Wei’s faces all changed slowly. Rong Wei actually thought of going to find Jiang Yi personally. However, since Young Master Jiutian and company were expressionless—without an order, Rong Wei also did not dare to fool about.
As time pa.s.sed, Young Master Jiutian and Pavilion Lord Da’s faces finally started to change. Rong Wei also felt as if he was sitting on a bed of needles, cursing Jiang Yi over and over again inside. Rong Wei wanted to eat Jiang Yi raw.
After two hours, Young Master Jiutian finally could not take it anymore as he looked at Rong Wei coldly. Rong Wei immediately stood up angrily as he was prepared to head outside. He was probably beside himself with rage; his footsteps were exceptionally heavy as he used his heavenly powers and cracked the flooring wherever he walked.
“Hahahaha!”
However, Rong Wei had not even walked out of the hall when happy laughter traveled inside.
Jiang Yi walked in briskly, wearing a white robe. His hair was also slightly messy. Before he entered, he laughed out loud and said, “I saw the Wind Spirit Flower in my backyard bloom first thing in the morning, and I had this feeling that something good was going to happen! I see now that it is the arrival of such distinguished guests!”
Jiang Yi walked in, full of warmth and cheer. However, seeing the cracks in the flooring caused by Rong Wei, Jiang Yi’s smile steadily strained. He asked slightly astonished, “Pavilion Lord Rong, I heard that distinguished guests have arrived and immediately stopped my cultivation to come and greet all of you; I did not even have the time to shower or tidy up. Why have you destroyed my flooring? This flooring is very expensive… one piece is worth a million divine roots…”
