Chapter 879: The Wolf Fang City
Peak-stage Vajra martial expert was just one step away from the Heaven Monarch, but that person was far weaker. Heaven Monarchs had divine s.h.i.+elds and could kill a group of peak-stage Vajra Realm martial experts. Hardly any peak-stage Vajra Realm martial experts were capable of killing a Heaven Monarch.
Similarly, DemiG.o.d martial artists were just one step above the peak-stage Heaven Monarch, but they were far stronger! In history, there hadn’t been any incidence of Heaven Monarch killing a DemiG.o.d. Even the Mystic Thearch couldn’t slaughter any DemiG.o.d when he was at the Heaven Monarch Realm.
DemiG.o.ds were the most powerful existence in this world. Any DemiG.o.d could become chiefs in their territory. If they joined an ordinary big clan, their position would be just below the Clan Head. Even if they wanted to kill the Clan Head’s Young Master for offending them, the Clan Head wouldn’t stop them.
Such martial experts would be treated with the highest standard no matter which clan they joined. Even if they became members of the Nine Thearch Clans, they would be Grand Elders, and the most prestigious Young Masters would greet them respectfully.
Jiang Yi made the right a.s.sumption. Heaven Flame City was a small town. The Tantai Clan had only six peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. There were nearly 10,000 Heaven Monarchs. However, they were just Heaven Monarchs and were incomparable to DemiG.o.ds. The most powerful martial expert that Tantai s.h.i.+ had ever seen was a peak-stage Heaven Monarch, never did she expected that Jiang Yi was a DemiG.o.d.
Tantai s.h.i.+ was ashamed at the thought of luring a DemiG.o.d before. However, she swiftly became surprised. She thought Jiang Yi was very young. This was a woman’s instinct. As far as she considered, Jiang Yi was definitely below 35.
No matter how powerful a person was, and how youthful he appeared, he would naturally give out a mature feeling. Tantai s.h.i.+ was confident that she was right on this, which was the reason that she was willing to give herself to Jiang Yi. It was better to have a young martial expert than the old folks in her clan.
Swis.h.!.+
Jiang Yi shot down and was expressionless. However, a bitter look flickered across his eyes. Even though he frightened off the enemies just now, what he did today was really foolish.
DemiG.o.d martial artists drew attention wherever they went. The news of a DemiG.o.d appearing in this place would soon be spread. If he was targeted by any clan and pursued by some special divine skills, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble; and the risk of exposing himself would be greater.
However, after he saw the innocent faces of those two children, he thought he did the right thing today. Once he ran away with the children, Tantai s.h.i.+ would die; and they would become orphans.
What he did today was wrong rationally but made sense emotionally. Jiang Yi didn’t want to think further. Anyway, if he fled today, he would have to live with his conscience for the rest of his life and might become crueler. In the end, he would turn out to be a man that even he loathed.
“What are you looking at?’
Upon seeing the crowd staring at him blindly, he was a bit annoyed, curled his lips, and said, “No one is allowed to spread today’s happenings. Whoever dares to leak a word will live up with the consequences!”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Song Zhong and his group all cupped their hands in fear and shouted seriously. Tantai s.h.i.+ straightened her clothes, made a deep bow at Jiang Yi, and didn’t say any thankful rubbish. She was an extremely smart woman and was sharp enough to realize that her previous tricks had already aroused disgust in Jiang Yi. Naturally, she dared not to offend him further.
All the bandit legions flew away. The main troops far away didn’t risk coming closer. Jiang Yi and his group resumed their journey. This time, he didn’t dare to be careless. His Divine Perception was constantly looking into the happenings in the surroundings to avoid accidents like just now.
Soon, it was dark. They needed to find a place to spend the night again. This time, they stayed beside a small pond as requested by Tantai s.h.i.+. Jiang Yi thought she was going to play her old tricks again. However, he was relieved to see that she was covered with mud and dirt.
Song Zhong and the others were very disciplined and pitched their tents one kilometer away from the pond, surrounding the entire pond. Jiang Yi, naturally, enjoyed the night with a group of girls next to the pond.
After a casual meal, a few maidservants took the two kids to the pond and washed them. The kids kept laughing and playing in the water, which pleased Jiang Yi very much. If he left the crowd today, these two children would probably never be able to laugh like this.
What followed after this was a bit too much for Jiang Yi. A few maidservants simply surrounded the place with clothes and helped Tantai s.h.i.+ to a bath before they removed their clothes and bathed, too. The canyon smelled funny, which was unacceptable to the girls.
Even though there was a man nearby, he was powerful enough to cause their hearts to quiver with fear. They even had the heart to wors.h.i.+p him. Besides, Jiang Yi never messed around. This bunch of maidservants was relieved and joined the bath in blush.
Of course, even if Jiang Yi had any evil thoughts, these maidservants would willingly conform.
Tantai s.h.i.+ was even more comfortable. She wished that Jiang Yi would want her. Perhaps, she would willingly take off her clothes and crawled over when Jiang Yi pointed his fingers.
Jiang Yi walked into his tent and didn’t dare to release his divine senses. He sat like an old monk and kept hearing the splash of water and giggle of the maidservants, which slid to his ears like breezes.
“My Lady has a really beautiful body.”
“My Lady, bend over, I’ll help you wash your back.”
“My Lady, are you going to wear the pink underwear?”
Jiang Yi had a really powerful hearing. Even if he didn’t want to hear it, the maidservants’ whisper kept coming to his ears. Automatically, an extremely amorous picture was conceived in his mind.
Luckily, his mind was pretty strong. He started meditating and cultivating straight away. Of course, he dared not to enter the state of the union of heaven and man. Otherwise, he would be able to sense everything around him.
It was a silent night!
On the next day, the group began their trip again. This time, Jiang Yi was even more cautious. His Divine Perception explored the surroundings all the time. The Wolf Fang City was only over 1,000,000 kilometers away from the sea. Even though they didn’t take the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p and were much slower—except for those in the chariot, they were all Heaven Monarchs with considerable speed. At sunset, they finally arrived at a small town in the eastern suburb of the Wolf Fang City.
Hoo-Hoo!
After seeing the small town, Song Zhong and the rest all let out a deep sigh of relief. Being able to see the small town suggested that they were not far away from the city. The s.h.i.+elds around these small towns were very weak; any upper-tier Heaven Monarch could break them. However, these small towns wouldn’t be attacked by bandits. Otherwise, the clans in the city nearby would be enraged, who protected these small towns.
“Song Zhong, the bandit legions in the surroundings are fairly powerful. Why don’t they attack the city?”
Jiang Yi casually detected the situation in the Wolf Fang City in the distance and found that there weren’t many peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm martial experts, which were about twenty of them. On the other hand, many big bandit legions, such as the two that they encountered yesterday, had dozens of peak stage Heaven Monarch Realm absolute experts, which were more than enough to conquer the city.
Song Zhong cupped his hands and sent a voice transmission: “My Lord, this depends on the regions. For example, the Region Lords of the Waterfront Region and our Heaven State Region are very strict with their rules. Every City Lord was a.s.signed by the Region Lord. Even if one takes down the city, he won’t become the City Lord. The Region Lord may send troops and the invaders out. Of course… many regions are quite chaotic. Whoever takes down the city will be the City Lord. Sometimes, the City Lord changes five times in just half a month!”
“En, en.”
Jiang Yi nodded and sent a voice transmission: “Let’s part when we reach the Wolf Fang City tomorrow. I have some business to do; you can go back to the Heaven State Region by Teleportation Array.”
“Teleportation Array…”
Song Zhong’s face darkened, he sent a voice transmission bitterly: “My Lord, you think too highly of us. Even if you sell all of us, we can’t afford Teleportation Array!”
