Chapter 1056: This Feeling is so Good!

“This dao pattern is too hard to comprehend. It has been five months, but not one lead at all.”

In the secret cultivation room, Jiang Yi opened his eyes, feeling a little headache. These five months in seclusion, he had been trying to comprehend some dao patterns. However, he could not even understand a low-tier dao pattern of the lowest grade. As his natural endowments were not insignificant—if he was not able to understand, that could only mean that the dao pattern was really too hard to crack.

What gave him a little bit of comfort was that the Tang Clan was proving to be reliable. The first half-month, Jiang Yi had been using his State of the Union of Heaven and Man to track Tang Ming and the martial artists on the Heaven Fate Ship. However, he had not discovered anything strange. It had been five months; if the Tang Clan had betrayed him—by this time, the North Thearch would have long come to kill him.

“Other merchant association might deal in businesses; our merchant association deals with people!”

Jiang Yi recalled what Tang Sheng had said to him, and his admiration for the Tang Clan grew. It was no wonder that the Tang Clan was the number one clan just below the Nine Thearch Clans. Even the Nine Thearch Clans had to be wary of the Tang Clan. The Tang Clan was indeed different.

The Tang Clan was extremely far-sighted. They did not bother with the current and the present, the gain and loss of a city or a town.

At the end of the day, the world was under the control of a minority of formidable martial artists. Whoever could climb to the top of the pyramid could dominate a certain place or region. The Tang Clan was on good terms with numerous martial experts. If the latter wanted to conduct business, why would they then turn to other merchant associations? Following this, all the biggest businesses in the world were conducted by the Tang Clan. They not only had an unlimited source of immense profits, but they also had the backing of countless formidable martial artists in the world. Messing with the Tang Clan would naturally cause a domino effect; who would dare find trouble with the Tang Clan?

Take Jiang Yi for example. If—someday—he managed to have the ability to fight the North Thearch’s Wu Clan, create a foothold for himself in the East Imperial Continent, and become a ruler of a region and if the Tang Clan came knocking on Jiang Yi’s door wanting to do business in his territory, would Jiang Yi say no? Would Jiang Yi not give his blessings?

“It’s been five months. We should be reaching the Divine Sonar Region, right?”

Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and tried to find out the situation outside. There were no problems whatsoever. He then used his divine senses to scan the Thearch Palace. He realized that Tang Xue and Tang Yan were obediently staying inside. Jiang Yi rested for a while, then decided to continue his seclusion for one more month, and wait till they reached the Divine Sonar Region. In the past five months, he had not thought of any better idea; he could only go to the Divine Sonar Valley first and see how things were.

After less than twenty days, Jiang Yi was interrupted. The restrictions in the secret cultivation room were flashing. Someone had touched the restrictions from the outside.

“En?”

Jiang Yi immediately used his Union of Heaven and Man to check what was going on. Seeing that it was one of the housekeepers, he relaxed. Jiang Yi lifted the restrictions and sent a voice transmission, asking: “What is the matter?”

“Young Master Yi, the Consecrator would like you to go and see him. He says he has important matters to discuss with you.” The housekeeper’s voice traveled in, carrying with it a sense of urgency.

Jiang Yi frowned, but he did not immediately get up. He continued his voice transmission, asking: “How many days left till we reach the Divine Sonar Region?”

“Six days!”

The housekeeper was very sure of his reply. Jiang Yi nodded and got up, walking out of the room. After he left the secret cultivation room, he released Tang Xue and Tang Yan from the Thearch Palace. He instructed the two of them. “You two have been cooped inside for months. Go and move about outside. Housekeeper He, please send them some hot food.”

“Thank you, Young Master!”

The two sisters were indeed bored to death. They were so happy to be let out. Jiang Yi smiled slightly as he headed straight for the first ship cabin. The door was open. Tang Ming saw Jiang Yi and immediately beckoned him inside. “Come in quickly.”

After Jiang Yi entered, Tang Ming activated the room’s restrictions. Jiang Yi saw that Tang Ming’s face was serious, and so he asked, “What has happened?”

“The Third Elder of the Li Clan is coming,” Tang Ming said in a low voice. “This old fiend had already reached Divine Sonar City. He sent a message for me to send the two sisters straight to Divine Sonar City.”

Jiang Yi’s expression became cold. The Divine Sonar City was the main city in the Divine Sonar Region. If the exchange took place in Divine Sonar City, how could Jiang Yi act then? There were a few issues at hand. First would be that his actions would definitely be noticeable. Second, would the Sonar Thearch himself appear? If he appeared and did not kill Jiang Yi, would that raise suspicion? At that point in time, the Yin Clan and the Li Clan would start to investigate. Even if it was not to the extent of being able to track him—if they could manage to confirm his identity, there would be big trouble for Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi intended to head to Mystic Divine Mountain where a nine-star martial expert was living at the foot of the mountain. Once people knew of his return to the East Imperial Continent, not only would the North Thearch come after him to kill him, Jiang Yi might also not be able to head up Mystic Divine Mountain anymore. Furthermore, if the Battle Thearch heard the news and laid in wait at the foot of Mystic Divine Mountain, Jiang Yi would be walking right into a trap.

Jiang Yi thought for a while but still could not come up with any solutions. He raised his head and asked, “Why is Old Fiend Li coming to Divine Sonar City?”

Tang Ming explained. “Ten days later would be the wedding day of the Sonar Thearch’s only grandson. All the disciples from the great family clans in the vicinity are all here. Someone from the Yin Clan is here too it seems. Oh, yes, the grandson of the Sonar Thearch is marrying a young mistress from the Yin Clan.”

“...”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. Why was it that everything seemed to be connected to the Yin Clan? The complicated relationships were causing him to have a headache. He sat down and forced himself to remain calm as he tried to think of a way.

“If not, let me take the blame for this.”

Tang Ming saw that Jiang Yi was troubled and gritted his teeth as he said, “I will say that Tang Xue and Tang Yan were not willing to listen, and I killed them in a rage. I will then find another two ladies and send them to Old Fiend Li. He would not make too big of a fuss out of this. As for the Tang Clan, I will naturally give them an explanation. If the Clan Head knew that it was you, he would definitely not blame me. Rest assured that I will only raise this matter with the Clan Head himself directly; this matter will not be divulged to anyone else.”

“There is no need to hurry...”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and thought again. He asked, “Will you be attending the Sonar Thearch’s grandson’s wedding?”

“Of course!”

Tang Ming nodded and said, “Since I am here, I definitely have to attend. Even if I wasn’t here by coincidence, the Tang Clan would definitely send someone else, too. The Sonar Thearch is an unbeatable martial expert, and the first person that was bestowed the title Thearch besides the Nine Thearchs.”

“Alright then!”

Jiang Yi rose and said, “Please try and delay by a few days. You can say that Tang Xue and Tang Yan had been afflicted by a strange disease and that you will send them over in a couple of days. We will wait and see what happens after we reach the Divine Sonar Valley.”

“Young Master Jiang will be heading to the Divine Sonar Valley, too?” Tang Ming asked curiously. “You know the Sonar Thearch?”

Jiang Yi smiled lightly and replied, “I think it is best if you stayed out of this matter. I will disguise myself as one of your underlings and head to the Divine Sonar Valley together. After the wedding banquet is over, I will naturally present a good plan to you. Additionally, don’t send anyone else to Old Fiend Li. Sending anyone to this old sex fiend would ruin that lady forever. That would be a sin.”

“Sigh...”

Tang Ming heard Jiang Yi’s words and sighed. Tang Ming also didn’t wish for things to be as they were. However, there wasn’t a choice. Being in a position like his, there are many times Tang Ming had to do things that went against his conscience, things that were dirty and ugly.

Jiang Yi and Tang Ming exchanged a few more words before Jiang Yi headed back to his own cabin. This time, the two ladies did not stand about being clueless; they had naturally taken on the role of maidservants. One of them served Jiang Yi tea while the other gave him a massage. It was obvious that they had gone through special training; the massage was particularly good.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes as he thought about what would happen when he went to the Divine Sonar Valley, not paying much attention to the two. After sitting a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the two identical faces in front of him. He said, “Tang Xue and Tang Yan, this time, I might ask someone to send you two quietly to some place. You two will be in a lot of danger following me. You two will be safe and without worry there, and you’ll be able to live the rest of your lives there. Do you two assent?”

“No!”

Tang Xue gently shook her head. “We want to follow Young Master, we are not afraid of death. We have died once when we were little. Although we haven’t met Young Master many times, we can feel that Young Master is a kind and gentle person. Young Master is a very good person. To be able to follow Young Master is the utmost blessing to the two of us.”

Tang Yan seriously nodded in agreement and said, “Sister is right. When we are following Young Master, we will feel an unexpected sense of peace and assurance. This feeling... is so good.”
