“Pow!”

Jiang Yi looked at Fatty's pretentious expression; he couldn't help but raise his hand to slap Fatty on the back of his head. He then spoke to Fatty in a serious tone, “Be serious now. Don't tell me all this nonsense.”

Jiang Yi wasn't any fool that would go over the head once he was praised by someone. Killing aura? How many people had he killed to gain so much killing aura? Which of these young masters weren't ruthless enough to kill a few people?

The fatty looked harmless and trustworthy, which was why most people would be duped by him.

After being hit by Jiang Yi, Qian w.a.n.guan wasn't angry either. He giggled, “Big brother sure is a clever person. I shall not hide it anymore. I actually have a special ability which could see any marvelous individuals in a single glance…”

“Pow!”

Jiang Yi gave Fatty another slap and said furiously, “Any more nonsense, and I shall leave!”

“Don't, don't, Big brother!”

Qian w.a.n.guan held onto Jiang Yi and finally spoke the truth, “I was right there when you and Jiang Qilin fought. But I was hidden at the side quite well—that both you and Zhan Wushuang didn't realize I was there.”

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yi snorted and didn't ask anymore but asked with curiosity instead, “Why are you asking me to deal with Jiang Qilin? Did the two of you have any feud?”

Qian w.a.n.guan paused for a moment before speaking with fury, “Jiang Qilin is too overbearing! Weren't his legs broken by Zhan Wushuang on that day? As he required to recuperate, he couldn't hunt any demonic beasts for the past two days. He then… orders all the nearby partic.i.p.ating Jiang clansmen to collaborate with the Zhangsun clansmen to s.n.a.t.c.h tokens from everyone. They didn't even let off my clansmen! A dozen of our clansmen got injured by them this morning, and all of our tokens were s.n.a.t.c.hed. This is why all of us are infuriated and teamed up to deal with them.”

“Your clansmen? What clan are all of you from? Aren't you afraid that the Jiang Clan would come to settle the scores later?” Jiang Yi was even more curious now.

“What is there to be afraid of? As long as the Western Garrison Liege Lord doesn't interfere, how can they deal with us?”

The fatty was rather prideful when he spoke. But when he looked at Jiang Yi's clueless expression, he began to explain, “Except for the royalty of the Divine Martial Kingdom, there are Seven Great Clans. First is the Zhangsun Clan, second is the Jiang Clan, third is the Zhan Clan, fourth is my Qian Clan, followed by the Long Clan, the Tais.h.i.+ Clan, and lastly, the Ying Clan. The upper echelons of our clans have never interfered with affairs of the younger generations. As long as we don't kill any direct-bloodline descendants, we will even receive rewards for defeating the other clans.”

“In that case…”

Jiang Yi finally understood: the great clans of the Divine Martial Kingdom had many similarities to the major clans of the Skyplume City. The youth generations could create all sorts of trouble—except for any killing. But he got rather suspicious of the fact that the Jiang Clan was only no.2—when Western Garrison Liege Lord, Jiang Bieli, was the no.1 combatant of the Divine Martial Kingdom.

“Seems like Big brother is quite ignorant about the matters of the Divine Martial Kingdom.”

When Fatty heard the questions from Jiang Yi, he continued to explain: “The Zhangsun Clan holds an overwhelming authority because the current Empress is from the Zhangsun Clan—so is the Crown Princess. What's more, the current no.1 Military Chancellor is also from the Zhangsun Clan. The current Emperor doesn't really get involved in the daily affairs; the Zhangsun Clan is the one acting as a regent for him. The Jiang Clan is at the no.2 spot, only because of Jiang Bieli. The Zhan Clan is the clan of the Battle G.o.d which has been around for ten thousand years.

“Hehe, as for our Qian Clan… the half of the entire Divine Martial Kingdom's merchant a.s.sociation belongs to our clan. The Long Clan and the Tais.h.i.+ Clan are the military representatives. While the Ying Clan is the king of the underworld, an a.s.sa.s.sin's clan. Don't think that there aren't many people here; this is a fight between the Zhangsun and the Jiang Clan against the other four great clans, except for the Zhan Clan which remained neutral. If the Zhan Clan is to join our group, we can basically beat them up every time we see them!”

“Oh!”

Jiang Yi finally got the whole picture now but felt that this matter became even more troublesome. This wasn't just an ordinary fight, but the battle of forces between the youth generation from six of the great clans. If he was to interfere and got found out, he would most likely incur the wrath of the Zhangsun and the Jiang Clan.

But if he didn't interfere, he might not be fortunate enough to find another gold token with just half a day left.

“Big brother, don't worry. This is for you!”

Fatty reached into his belongings to pull out a thin face mask and handed it over to Jiang Yi, “This is a human face mask. No one will recognize you after wearing it. What's more, after you enter the college, there are rules that state the forbiddance of personal fights! With Big brother's strength, will Jiang Qilin dare to do anything? If you are to a.s.sist us this time, we will definitely a.s.sist you when we are in the college, too.”

Jiang Yi received the face mask. He took a detailed look at it and clenched his teeth while pasting it on his face; he reached out his hand. “Give me the token.”

Qian w.a.n.guan handed over the token to Jiang Yi without hesitation. He informed Jiang Yi to attack those that didn't have a red ribbon on their sleeves.

After seeing Jiang Yi dashed into the battlefield, Qian w.a.n.guan gestured to his back, and a youth emerged from a shrub and spoke, “Young Master Qian!”

“Go inform our people that the man with the mask is our ally. Do not injure him by mistake.”

Qian w.a.n.guan gave another instruction while looking at Zhan Wushuang from afar, “And go tell Zhan Wushuang… this man is the savior of his sister that day. Ask him to act as he pleased.”

“This…”

That subordinate swept a look at Zhan Wushuang and asked with doubt, “The Zhan Clan has always been at the neutral position; will Zhan Wushuang actually get involved?”

“Fool!”

Qian w.a.n.guan berated, “Do you think that I wasted a gold token to rely on that guy? Can he help us win? It is all to scheme for Zhan Wushuang to get involved! As long as he makes a move, I will have the opportunity to bring him to our side and pull the Zhan Clan into this mess. When our five great clans unite, we can completely defeat the Zhangsun and the Jiang Clan.”

“He He!”

The battle ahead was still intensive, and both sides were equally damaged. Many of them were lying on the ground, and most of them were at least at the seventh stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. There were even two martial artists at the first stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, but both of them were locked in battle, and there was no need to be worried about them.

With the signal from Qian w.a.n.guan, no one from their side attacked Jiang Yi. In fact, Jiang Yi's strength—which was at the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm—didn't catch their attention.

“Severely injure ten individuals?”

Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh; this kind of chaotic battles was of the highest advantage to him. He stealthily sneaked into the crowd and saw two martial artists, who were at the eighth stage of Cast Tripod Realm, locked in an intense fight. He hurriedly dashed forward and channeled a wisp of the black essence force to his eyes, locking onto one of them. Using his Phantom Punch, three fist shadows whizzed forward. The clansmen from the four great clans had red ribbons on their arms and were easy to differentiate; hence, Jiang Yi didn't have any concern about mistakenly injuring an ally.

“Get lost!”

Seeing Jiang Yi attacking in unison, his enemy didn't panic as he saw that Jiang Yi's strength was too inferior. He shouted and used one palm strike to counter against Jiang Yi's triple fist. He originally thought that he could rely on his power and speed to easily injure Jiang Yi. Who knew that Jiang Yi would suddenly change his fist into Silk Hands and grabbed onto his arm? Jiang Yi vigorously twisted the arm and used his snake-like legs to whip at his enemy.

“Bang!”

The ally saw the opportunity and naturally increased his attack power to severely injured his opponent.

“One down, next!”

After confirming that this individual lost his combat strength, Jiang Yi continued to roam. Relying on his formidable reaction speed, he coordinated with the allies to execute his sneak attacks. When it was absolutely necessary, he would use his black essence force to drastically increase his strength and clash head-on.

In just a short span of 30 minutes, seven of Jiang Qilin's men were severely injured due to the intervention from Jiang Yi. The weaker portion of Jiang Yi's allies was balanced out now.

“Eh? This kid is so ferocious? Did he really hide his true strength?”

Jiang Yi's performance made Fatty flabbergasted. He originally didn't want to rely on Jiang Yi and just wanted to make use of him to drag Zhang Wushuang into the battle.

“Are you tired of living, brat?”

With Jiang Yi emerging as a new force, he successfully attracted the strong combatants from Jiang Qilin's side. A martial artist, who was at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm, severely injured an enemy and rushed towards Jiang Yi. Before he even approached, his hands let out a flurry of grasping shadows and entrapped Jiang Yi within it.
