Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 1396 - Accept Defeat!

Chapter 1396: Accept Defeat!

Jiutian Wu would not dare to do anything rash, and Jiang Yi expected this.

However, what Jiang Yi did not expect was that Young Master Jiutian and company would bow down to him so quickly. They were even going all the way with it, covering all grounds.

Back at Drizzling Mountain Ridges, Jiutian Wu had also submitted to the Ink Feather Race. He did not cause any trouble for Jiang Yi later on, making it clear that he was afraid of the Ink Feather Race and the Green Eagle King. There really weren’t many people who were not afraid of the Green Eagle King in the Earth Domain.

Jiang Yi guessed that mentioning Jiutian Wu’s name would scare Young Master Jiutian so much that he would not dare to touch Jiang Yi. This was why Jiang Yi purposely asked Young Master Jiutian to ask Jiutian Wu about him. Once the matter reached Jiutian Wu’s ears, Jiang Yi knew that he would ask his son to avoid trouble and let the matter rest.

Jiang Yi did not think that Jiutian Wu would get so angry and that Jiutian Ze’s mother would misunderstand this anger. Now, Jiutian Ze was surrendering and giving a visitation card in advance. If word got out about this matter, the entire Earth Emanations Domain would laugh their toes off.

This time, Jiang Yi did not go overboard. He only made Jiutian Ze and company wait for two hours before he went out into the main hall to see them. His expression was still relaxed, and he still smiled warmly. He acted as if nothing had happened between them and like Jiutian Ze was his long-lost brother.

“Please sit, everyone! What are you standing for?”

He sat down at the host’s seat and gestured pa.s.sionately, inviting them to sit down. Then, he glanced at Young Mistress He. In a curious tone, he asked, “Young Mistress He, why is your body so blurry? I can’t see you clearly. What kind of treasure do you have on you that’s so formidable?”

Buzz!

Young Mistress He’s body flashed white, revealing her true form. Young Mistresses from great family clans who liked to hide their true looks usually looked beautiful. This Young Mistress He was a top beauty; her looks were comparable to Xuanyuan Lingyan’s. However, Jiang Yi hated the arrogance that she carried in her bones. He guessed that this was the character of indigenous divine races. They held their noses up high naturally.

Young Mistress He’s face was flushed red as she looked downwards, not because she was shy, but because she was enraged. Still, she bowed and said softly, “These clothes are considered a special treasure. Many young mistresses from great family clans have such clothes. However, people with strong enough soul spirits can still see through the blurriness.”

“Oh, oh. I understand!”

Jiang Yi nodded inviting the group to sit down once again. He waved his hand and said, “Someone, serve tea! Serve the good tea!”

“That won’t be necessary!”

Jiutian Ze jumped to his feet, forcing himself to smile. “City Lord Jiang, we have just come for a short while. We will be returning to Blue Eagle Prefecture soon. Let’s cut to the chase. City Lord Jiang, Jiutian Ze accepts defeat this time. Men, bring He Tian here!”

Swis.h.!.+

One of Jiutian Ze’s guards outside led Commander He in. He was tied up like a dumpling. The moment he entered, he got down to his knees. The ring in Jiutian Ze’s hand lit up, and he retrieved another ring from it, handing it to Jiang Yi. Then, he cupped his hands and said, “City Lord Jiang, I have brought He Tian here. You can deal with him as you please. There is also a Pandan plant and a spiritual-type spirit herb in there called the Heavenly Heart Herb. It is comparable to the Pandan plant. I also have some tea leaves, which I brought back from the Saint Spirit Domain. We unwittingly offended City Lord Jiang this time. I hope that you can be magnanimous and let this go!”

Once he finished speaking, Jiutian Ze bowed down low. Seeing that their leader had lowered his head, Young Mistress He, Pavilion Lord Da, and Pavilion Lord Rong all stood up and did the same. They were acting extremely humble. Since they were surrendering, they were prepared to go all the way with it.

Nice job!

Jiang Yi’s heart jumped. This Jiutian Ze was really someone; he was able to go with the flow. People like that were the scariest. As a young master of the best kind, his reputation would surely be ruined if word got out about what happened in Jiang Residence today. Yet, he did not look in the least bit unwilling. This was a tough man.

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed out loud. He did not push his limit. Instead, he stood up and walked towards Commander He amicably, personally untying him. Once he was done, he looked at Jiutian Ze and asked, “What are you doing? It’s just a small misunderstanding. It’s not worth remembering, not worth remembering at all. Brother Jiutian, doing this would shorten my life!”

Jiutian Ze heaved a sigh of relief. His impression of Jiang Yi improved slightly. If Jiang Yi had made things difficult for him this time, he would have seen Jiang Yi small-hearted, incapable of achieving big things. Jiutian Ze smiled and said, “Brother Jiang, we have matters to tend to and must return to Blue Eagle City now. If you have a chance to visit Blue Eagle City in the future, we will do our best to host you well. Farewell!”

“I will, I will!”

Jiang Yi shook Jiutian Ze’s hands warmly and then walked them out of Jiang Residence. He was showing Jiutian Ze adequate respect. Outside Jiang Residence, both of them acted very close as if they could not bear to part with each other. Many family clans standing by to watch the drama unfold were all shocked into silence.

Buzz!

Jiutian Ze and company entered the city plaza and then left through the Teleportation Formation there. Just before they teleported, Jiutian Ze caught sight of Jiang Yi, standing outside Jiang Residence, seeing them off. He nodded subtly and said, “This man is really a character. If he had better skills, he would be very frightening indeed. Cousin, your He Clan should avoid provoking him in the future…”

…

“Commander Liu!”

Once Jiutian Ze and company had gone, Jiang Yi shouted out in a low voice. “Send Commander He back at once. Also, go and ask that bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to come back. Why did they go to Crazed G.o.d Mountain to squander time? Is that a place that they are worthy to visit?”

“Understood!”

Commander Liu cupped his hands, his eyes filled with shock.

Jiang Yi had clearly won this time and put enough pressure on Young Master Jiutian. Why was he still bothering to follow through with the show? If he did this, outsiders would think that he was the one who had lost. People would think that he was pressured by Jiutian Ze and had no choice but to call his troops back.

I have to be on my toes, ready to advance or retreat. I must not be too proud of victory or too disappointed in defeat. I’m not too concerned about face; I only think about practicalities! This brat is too scheming. It will be a scary thing to become his enemy.

Xiao Leng understood Jiang Yi’s intentions. Jiang Yi was just a minor character; face would mean nothing to him. Being able to obtain material comforts would be far more valuable. He had already benefited from this. Giving Jiutian Ze and company respect would allow them to have an easier time in the future.

Jiutian Ze bowed down to such an extent?

Xiao Leng’s mind was filled with different questions. He respected Jiang Yi just a little bit more now. He did not know about Jiang Xiaonu. He only knew that he had to take special care of Jiang Yi because of the latter’s relations.h.i.+p with Mo Lingqiu. However, he did not think that Jiang Yi had such a n.o.ble background. Why else would Jiutian Wu be so afraid to attack Jiang Yi?

…

Xuanyuan Lingyan had the same questions that Xiao Leng did.

Outsiders did not know about the situation, but Xuanyuan Lingyan knew everything. Jiutian Ze and Commander He suffered a huge setback this time. Their reputations were completely on the line. Once she received the secret update, she fell into deep thought.

There was a black figure in the corner of her room. His features were unclear; all that people could see was his silhouette. He seemed like an elder. This elder stayed silent for a while and then said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Young Mistress, let’s forget about this plan. For all we know, it might end up even worse. Even Young Master Jiutian cannot afford to upset Jiang Yi…”

Xuanyuan Lingyan’s status was far from Jiutian Ze’s; this was why the elder was so worried.

However, Xuanyuan Lingyan shook her head and said, “We’ve already carried out half of the plan. How can we give up now? I must obtain the Primitive Spiritual Treasure. In any case, they would have no proof that this had anything to do with me. So what if something really goes wrong?”

“Alright! The information that Xiao Leng asked for should be arriving soon. They will set off anytime now. I will go and prepare.”

The elder sighed helplessly before his figure slowly disappeared from the room. Xuanyuan Lingyan’s spring-like eyes brightened. The corners of her lips twisted up in a slight smile as she mumbled, “Jiang Yi, you have been very lucky. What about this time?”
