Chapter 967: All Cities Raising White Flags

North Divine Region…

In a mountain peak that was a few thousand miles away from a small city in the east, Jiang Yi had turned into a Demon Thearch in the human form and was standing on the mountain peak. The surrounding was a giant and primitive mountain range. There were a few Demon Thearchs, and they were intentionally left behind by those major clans, making this place a training ground for the descendants. Thus, now that Jiang Yi had transformed into a Demon Thearch, he wasn’t overly eye-catching.

Today was the ninth day that he a.s.saulted and took revenge on the Wu Clan. He had already cleansed sixteen cities with blood. It was now about to be nighttime, and he was preparing to act again. He didn’t know if there was any meaning to continue killing. Could he rescue Su Ruoxue? Was he going to die? However, he was at a loss and didn’t have any direction and didn’t know what to do. He simply wanted to do something for Su Ruoxue and wanted to take revenge on the Wu Clan.

The sun gradually descended in the east, and the curtains of darkness werer about to arrive. Astral winds floated down silently from high alt.i.tudes, and night had arrived again.

“Do it!”

Jiang Yi muttered and sat cross-legged to release his Divine Perception in preparation to seek his next target. There were dozens of small cities in the vicinity, and there was also a single medium-sized city. His target was still a small city. He didn’t have the capability to extinguish the Wu Clan and could only take one bite and tear off one piece at a time to make the Wu Clan suffer and tarnish their reputation.

His Divine Perception swept across the nearby cities, and his body quickly s.h.i.+vered. He had noticed a white flag suspended above one of the cities.

“White flag?”

His eyes had abruptly opened and were filled with disbelief. He had once requested the Wu Clan to raise up white flags in every city, indicating that they agreed to do the hostage exchange, but the Wu Clan refused and even mobilized experts to ambush him. After he had cleansed more than a dozen cities with blood under rage, the Wu Clan actually raised the white flag?

“Could my observations be wrong?”

He blinked his eyes in bewilderment before he closed his eyes and continued to scout. The results made him shocked, suspicious, and joyous. Dozens of the nearby cities had all raised white flags, meaning that the Wu Clan had given the orders to all the cities in the four regions to raise their white flags, indicating that they were willing to negotiate with him.

“This isn’t logical. I have already sent back Wu Ying’er and Hong Po’s heads, and they are still willing to release Ruoxue? Could it be that… they couldn’t pursue me and were afraid if I continue killing like this, the military would be demoralized… so they want to negotiate? Are they fearful of my killings?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered and were bewildered. His heart burned with a trace of hope, thinking that… Su Ruoxue was still alive and that the Wu Clan would agree to release Su Ruoxue.

“Scout!”

He was emotionally stirred up and had scouted again. This time, he carefully examined one of the cities and locked his senses to the white flag where he noticed some large words. “Jiang Yi, stop the attacks, or else Su Ruoxue will die.”

“Alive! Ruoxue is still alive!”

Jiang Yi took a closer look at those words and was instantly wild with joy. From those words, he could see that Wu Clan was truly afraid; and they wanted to negotiate. Since they had put down their dignity and raised the white flags, it was highly possible that they might release Su Ruoxue.

After scouting a few other cities and making sure that all the flags had the same words, Jiang Yi’s forcefully suppressed the joy in his heart and calmed down. He was willing to negotiate, and as long as they were willing to release Su Ruoxue, he would agree as long as the requests were not too excessive. Su Ruoxue’s safety was more important than anything else.

However, Jiang Yi wasn’t an idiot; and it was natural that he wouldn’t rush into the city to negotiate with the Wu Clan like a fool. He would hide in the Wu Clan’s four regions like a sharp blade suspended above the Wu Clan’s heads and would be able to siege cities at any moment. If he was to make an appearance, the sharp blade would become a useless blade; and he would be killed mercilessly.

“If I cannot make an appearance, who should I get to negotiate?”

Jiang Yi was having a headache. He couldn’t just capture someone and threaten or turn that person into a soul slave to help him negotiate, right? If he was to subdue a soul slave, that slave would have a spiritual connection with him. What if the Wu Clan had some experts with mystical abilities that could find them through his soul slave’s spiritual connection?

Furthermore, after the negotiation, he would need to know the progress of things, right? How was he going to contact the person that represented him? If Jiang Yi was to meet with the person that represented him, enemies might be able to track him. He was the only one who knew how to use the Mirage Divine Ability.

“Shadow Emperor’s men!”

Jiang Yi quickly had an idea. He was going to look for one of Shadow Emperor’s men to negotiate for him as there was no need to doubt their loyalty. Most importantly… the Shadow Emperor’s men had a unique method of contact. They had been hidden in the continent for so many years, and the Nine Thearchs Clans didn’t even notice them. Qi Tianchen had even done so well that he had become a lord of a large city. It could be clearly seen that their methods were brilliant.

If the Shadow Emperor’s men were to go negotiate, Jiang Yi could stand in any of the cities and contact them. This way, the risk of his location getting exposed would be extremely low. As long as he wasn’t captured, the Wu Clan wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for the Shadow Emperor’s men. Otherwise, they would suffer the revenge of blood cleansing by Jiang Yi again.

“Go!”

After some planning, Jiang Yi immediately executed the Heaven Evasion to head south for the Xuan Clan’s territory as he didn’t dare to enter the Wu Clan’s cities. After two consecutive Heaven Evasions, Jiang Yi arrived at a medium-sized city located in the northwest portion of the Xuan King Region. Right now, it was still night time, and he couldn’t enter the city. He just found a cave to rest overnight.

The Xuan Clan’s three regions had already stopped their search for Jiang Yi quite some time ago. Jiang Yi had been hiding in the Wu Clan’s four regions during this period of time, and the Xuan Clan’s various cities restored to their daily operations.

During noon, Jiang Yi turned into an old man and strutted into the city. He then found an inn and took out the green pearl to pour some essence force in. To his surprise… in just one hour, someone had transmitted a message to him. It was one of the Shadow Emperor’s men, who was hidden in this city.

Thirty minutes later, someone knocked on the door from outside. Jiang Yi extended his divine senses out and got startled as a familiar person had arrived. It was the Qi Clan’s elder, Qi Tianyu—the Qi Clan’s commander that led the team inside the Tantai Clan’s city back then.

“Qi Tianyu pays his greetings to Young Master!”

After Jiang Yi opened the door, Qi Tianyu walked in and immediately knelt on one knee. Jiang Yi quickly helped him up and smiled. “Elder Tianyu, why are you in this city?”

Qi Tianyu looked at Jiang Yi with excitement and said, “Young Master, I wasn’t in this city earlier and was in a nearby city. One of the subordinates transmitted a message to me, and I had rushed over here. Young Master’s name is renowned in the East Imperial Continent. After you intercepted Wu Ni, sieged Flood Martial City, killed the Wu Clan’s young lady and son-in-law, cleansed the four regions’ sixteen cities with blood, and had forced the Wu Clan to raise white flags in the cities, Clan Head had asked me to secretly bring men here to offer our full support to the Young Master. We will obey the Young Master’s every command.”

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi felt indescribable warmth in his heart and felt like he wasn’t fighting the battle alone. This order must definitely be given by the Shadow Emperor. The men that Qi Tianyu brought must have all be ready to lose their lives. It was reckoned that even if Jiang Yi didn’t contact them, Qi Tianyu and the others were probably paying attention to the situation in the Wu Clan’s four regions. During necessary situations, they were all going to throw their lives away to protect Jiang Yi.

When Jiang Yi recalled about the b.u.t.terfly Lady Race and remembered her wonderful body, he asked in a heavy voice, “Are Hu Danni and the two children doing well?”

“Very well!”

Qi Tianyu nodded and replied, “The two children have rather good talents and had started cultivating. Madam’s complexion is very good, but she misses Young Master a little. When I came over here, I did ask if she has any message for me to bring to Young Master, but she didn’t say anything. However, this subordinate could see that she is very concerned for Young Master and would frequently inquire about the Young Master’s information.”

“En. If I have the time, I will return to visit them.”

Jiang Yi let out a slight sigh and spoke seriously, “I contacted you because I have a serious task. I need you to help me negotiate with the Wu Clan. I must not make an appearance, and you don’t have to worry. As long as I am not dead, the Wu Clan wouldn’t dare to touch any of you. However, we need to discuss how we are going to contact each other. You must pay attention to information transmission. It must not be exposed, or the Wu Clan might hunt their way to the Qi Clan…”

After Qi Tianyu listened to Jiang Yi’s instructions carefully, he pondered for a moment and quickly nodded. “Young Master doesn’t have to worry. The Nine Thearchs Clans were unable to dig us out for so many years, and they will not succeed again this time either. I will personally go and negotiate with the Wu Clan, and I will help Young Master bring Young Lady Su back.”
