Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

First of all, whether they succeeded or not, they could no longer stay in the Gods Bestow Tribe. Other than Qian Wanguan, no one would be able to survive the rage of the Nangong Clan and the Lei Clan! Right now, Qian Wanguan decided to get involved, then he must leave as well.

They had to leave before the Nine Dragons’ God-Extinguishing Array would be turned on. Thus, they must act fast, rescue Big Sister Bell quickly, then leave via Heaven Evasion.

Before they rescued Big Sister Bell, they still had one thing to do, which was to rescue her mother. Otherwise, Big Sister Bell would rather die than leave.

“That’s not right, Wanguan!”

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of something and said, “If you use the Situ Clan’s men, will it affect the Situ Clan? Yixiao and Situ Ao have been very kind to us. If we run away, leaving behind the Situ Clan who has to deal with the Lei Clan and the Nangong Clan; then we will become the greatest sinner!”

“Ke-Ke!”

Qian Wanguan smiled confidently and said, “Boss, rest assured. I won’t use any of the Situ Clansmen. Even when we leave, the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association will continue to run smoothly. The Situ Clan’s business has entered the right track. There won’t be any problem without me; at worst, it may remain at the current level and can’t have much progress. Also, there are still more than nine months before the marriage. I will arrange everything. The influence of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association will be further expanded, and the alliance among the eight great clans will be more stable. After a month or two, I will cooperate with the other two clans. Till that time, no matter how bold the Lei Clan, the Nangong Clan, and the Lu Clan are, they won’t dare to attack the Situ Clan.”

“That’s good!”

Jiang Yi was relieved before immediately asking, “Without the Situ Clansmen, do you have other people to use?”

“Haha, Boss, don’t underestimate me!”

Qian Wanguan grinned and said, “Over the past one year, I secretly cultivated a group of people who follow my orders directly. No one knows this, including Yixiao. You should know that the priority of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association is not doing business, but to nurture a faction of force on the East Imperial Continent, which infiltrates and gradually overthrows the Nine Thearch Clans. Right now, this force is slowly growing. I keep the secret from them. It is already quite strong; half of the members are not known to the eight great clans. They are secret power.”

“...”

Both Jiang Yi and Feng Luan were stunned. Did he take advantage of the resources of the eight clans to recruit people for himself? Didn’t he use public office for private gain? Most importantly, as an outsider, those who followed his orders were all the men of the eight great clans; how could he nurture his arms force? If they didn’t know that Qian Wanguan wouldn’t lie about such thing, Jiang Yi would already slap him in the face.

Feng Luan blinked her eyes and asked, “How many are they? How many Heaven Monarchs?”

“Big Sister Luan, are you humiliating me?”

Qian Wanguan rolled his eyes said, “Do you still regard me as the bumpkin on the Stellarsky Continent? Do you have any idea how many martial artists that I can dispatch when I become the Chief Supervisor of the Situ Clan merchant association and the Chief Supervisor of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association? I am capable of mobilizing 5000 Heaven Monarchs of the Situ Clan and at least 100 peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. If I secretly cultivate my men, will I bring Vajra Realm martial experts in?”

“Oh, okay!”

Feng Luan pulled a funny face and said, “Then how many Heaven Monarchs do you recruit?”

Qian Wanguan pointed one finger. Feng Luan asked in slight disappointment, “Only ten?”

“Hehe!”

Qian Wanguan said with a grin, “Indeed ten, but they are all—peak-stage Heaven Monarchs!”

“What?!”

Both Jiang Yi and Feng Luan stood up instantly. They were shocked. Peak-stage Heaven Monarchs were no joke. It was difficult even for the thirteen clans to recruit them, let alone any ordinary people. However, Qian Wanguan managed to recruit ten peak-stage Heaven Monarchs in one year. How was that possible?

“Why are you surprised?”

Qian Wanguan said casually, “If I don’t have to be so discreet and want to recruit the low-tier and mid-tier Heaven Monarchs, I’m afraid there will be one thousand Heaven Monarch Realm martial experts right now. You guys don’t know how chaotic the East Imperial Continent is. Wars break out in the 108 regions all the time. Clans are constantly exterminated. With fights, there are always prisoners of wars. Many mighty martial artists are captured, who have no choice but to surrender. However, many of these people would rather die than give up their Soul Seals. Therefore, they are sold at a very cheap price, about 100 billion celestial stones for one person. Most people that we take in from the East Imperial Continent belong to this category.

“After buying the slaves, we’ll try to buy their clansmen as well or save them by force if necessary. After that, we send their clansmen to Sin Island. We ask them to serve us for 100 years before setting them and their clansmen free. Therefore, normally, the martial experts that we invest in will submit to us as we are their benefactors.

“Boss, you should remember the fight on Devil Island not long ago. At that time, Yixiao gave me a peak-stage Heaven Monarch slave to keep me safe. This slave did a lot of things on my behalf, without causing any attention. However, the ten men that we brought in are not in the Gods Bestow Tribe right now, they are still on the East Imperial Continent. I can easily send them over at a crucial moment.”

“Awesome!”

Jiang Yi gave him a thumb up. Qian Wanguan, who was the Chief Supervisor of the Situ Clan’s business and the Chief Supervisor of the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association for the past one year, had not only grown a lot but also become more and more resourceful. He was even able to play tricks under the watch of the eight great clans.

Even though Situ Yixiao was the president and that the young masters and young mistresses of many prestigious clans took part in the operation and supervision, Qian Wanguan was the one executed all the matters, whether big or small. Those young masters and young mistresses might be the best at fighting for one another’s affections; they knew nothing about business. The Soaring Dragon Merchant Association not only did business between the Gods Bestow Island and the East Imperial Continent but also in many other continents as well. It was growing very rapidly; how did Qian Wanguan manage to deal with all these things?

Since he had people working for him, it would be much easier!

These ten peak-stage Heaven Monarchs might be nothing to the Lei Clan and the Nangong Clan, but they were more than enough to cause a commotion in the God Bestow City. As long as the city was in a tumult, it would be very simple to rescue two people.

Jiang Yi took out paper and pens, started to write down names, and drew a map of the God Bestow City and the surrounding terrain. After a while, he said in a deep voice, “Wanguan, how about this? We will act eight months later, to lower the vigilance of the Nangong Clan so that they would slacken the monitoring for Big Sister Bell and her mother. You find some ways to bribe some Nangong Clansmen now.

“Eight months later, I will invite Big Sister Bell to my birthday party. Lei Qiyan may come with Big Sister Bell to humiliate me. Then, you ask the Heaven Monarchs to cause some troubles in the Nangong Clan’s business to attract their attention. At the same time, ask our planted men to save Big Sister Bell and her mother from the Nangong Clan. After that, we will straightly run away via Heaven Evasion! If this doesn’t work, I can also infuriate Lei Qiyan and challenge him to a duel to draw everyone’s attention. Then, you can act secretly.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Qian Wanguan smiled bitterly and said, “Boss, your plan is generally workable. We indeed need to take actions at least seven months later. However, there are a lot of loopholes. First of all, we can’t do anything inside the city. Once the Clan Heads of the Lei Clan and the Nangong Clan get involved, we will certainly be killed. Em... we can bribe the Nangong Clansmen. It was easy to get Big Sister Bell out. If we can also rescue her mother, then this plan will succeed. Alright, Boss. You cultivate first, I will discuss with Big Sister Luan in details later and will come up with a perfect plan.”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Alright, I will leave this matter to you. I will strive to improve my strength in these last eight months. After we leave this Gods Bestow Island, it will be much harder to cultivate the essence force.”
