Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

The Zhan Clan is that powerful?

Jiang Yi’s eyes narrowed. He had heard Ao Lu mentioned that if one were to come to the East Imperial Continent, there were three people never to mess with. One was the Buddha Thearch, another was the North Thearch, and the third was the Battle Thearch. This was because these three people were publicly known as nine-star marital experts!

Be that as it may, Jiang Yi had never been particularly afraid of the Zhan Clan. One of the reasons was that they were too low-profile. Members of their clan rarely left Mystic Martial City; the Zhan Clan had also not done anything outstanding or memorable in the past hundreds of thousands of years. The Zhan Clan gave off the feeling of a huge dragon in slumber, not posing any threat whatsoever.

Another reason was that the Zhan Clan’s territory was too small. They only had one city; they didn’t even have a regional capital. This naturally made people underestimate them. Since their territory was not vast, they could not recruit many martial experts. If one wanted to recruit martial experts, one would need to give people resources, power, or status, right?

Take the North Thearch’s Wu Clan for example. They had given many big cities to other clans, and have gained the backing and support of numerous big clans, even forming an alliance. This meant that whoever dared to go against the Wu Clan would essentially be going against the several tens of thousands of clans supporting it.

As the Zhan Clan did not possess such land and territory, there would definitely be no clans that would willingly be under their wing. If there was no benefit to be reaped, who would side with a person? Hence, Jiang Yi had always felt that the Zhan Clan’s total battle strength was the lowest among the Nine Emperor Clans.

Alas… Tang Ming actually said that the Zhan Clan was the strongest.

“Ah, Brother Jiang. There are some things that you are not very clear about.” Tang Ming stroked his beard and explained. “Do you know who the number one warrior under the Mystic Thearch was back then?”

Jiang Yi frowned and answered, “Could it be the ancestor of the Zhan Clan?”

“That’s right!”

Tang Ming nodded and said, “The person who was the strongest martial expert under the Mystic Thearch and the one he trusted the most was the ancestor of the Zhan Clan, Zhan Wudi. Do you know why the Zhan Clan does not go around taking over other people’s territory? That is because the Zhan Clan possesses the Mystic Thearch City and the Mystic Divine Mountain. These two actually beats having ten big cities! What sort of place is Mystic Thearch City? That was where the Mystic Thearch lived back then. Inside this city is a huge spirit concentration array, allowing the heaven and earth essence energy in the city to be a thousand-fold that of the outside.

“Hence, the Zhan Clan possessing the Mystic Thearch City meant that they were sitting on a one-and-only treasure trove. All the disciples of their clan are able to cultivate to the peak stage of Heaven Monarch. They have more Demigods than any other clans while on Mystic Divine Mountain, there are a few mystic realms, too. Those were left behind by the Mystic Thearch himself!”

“Oh, oh!”

Jiang Yi was shocked and surprised. Under the influence of a thousand-fold increase in cultivation speed, it was too easy to cultivate one’s essence force. The disciples of the Zhan Clan should also be more or less gifted. Adding to that would be the mystic realms that the Mystic Thearch had left behind—that was even rarer. Having the Mystic Thearch City indeed was better than having four regions.

“When the Mystic Thearch ascended back then, whether it was giving out rewards or bestowing the titles of Thearchs while the other eight Thearchs were each assigned to guard the eight sides of the East Imperial Continent, the Zhan Clan was given the center of the continent, where Mystic Thearch City was. This showed how much the Mystic Thearch loved Zhan Wudi. This arrangement also insinuated that the eight Thearchs had to respect the Battle Thearch as their head…”

Tang Ming murmured understandingly and said, “Do you know why the Zhan Clan is so low-key? That is because they know that envy assails the noblest, the winds howl around the highest peak. The fact that the Zhan Clan was given Mystic Thearch City had already made the other eight clans extremely jealous. If the Zhan Clan still dared to keep a high-profile and stir up trouble which leads to the other eight clans ganging up to attack it, that would cause the destruction of the clan.”

“I see.”

Jiang Yi helplessly exclaimed. If it was not for Tang Ming, he would definitely still be in the dark about this matter. It seemed that indeed, the heroes of the world could not be belittled. Especially the Nine Thearch Clans and the ancient races. The fact that they had managed to survive so many years, without being swallowed and fading away with history, was proof of their different strengths and capabilities.

Tang Ming naggingly tried to persuade Jiang Yi again: “Hence, my brother, you should not get involved with Yin Ruobing. Although it might feel good letting Zhan Tianlei become a cuckold—if you really anger the Zhan Clan, there would be big trouble!”

“A cuckold…”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, “Brother Tang, you are overthinking. I had only asked Yin Ruobing to help with this matter. I know what you are trying to say, thank you for your reminder.”

“En-En!”

Tang Ming nodded satisfactorily. He said, “That’s good. I will go and arrange this matter. If Yin Ruobing was to show up, Li Hong would also not dare to make noise. Brother, after this is settled, will you be staying in Divine Sonar Valley or heading elsewhere?”

“I will probably head off with you guys!” Jiang Yi’s gaze looked to the south. “I want to head to Mystic Divine Mountain.”

“You want to get the Mystic Divine Palace?” As the consecrator for the Tang Clan, Tang Ming was naturally intelligent and quick to understand. He advised, “Brother, I think you should stay here obediently and learn the Divine Sound Heaven Skill from the Sonar Thearch. No one can head up Mystic Divine Mountain, not even you. If you can’t even head up Mystic Divine Mountain, how can you obtain the Mystic Divine Palace?”

There were things that Jiang Yi could not divulge. He could only vaguely answer, “I want to go and try my luck. If I am unable to head up the mountain, I will then return.”

“Alright then!”

Tang Ming did not press further. He rose and said, “I will go and make arrangements. You should rest, too.”

…

“What? Young Master wants us to follow Lady Yin? Do you not want us anymore?” After Tang Ming had left, Jiang Yi returned to his room and released Tang Xue and Tang Yan. He then told them about the exchange three days from then.

The two of them suddenly became anxious. They have heard of Yin Ruobing before. She was the first mistress of the Yin Clan. The thought of following Yin Ruobing back to the Yin Clan made the two afraid. The bigger a clan, the more dirty and messy things could be. Furthermore, Li Hong was Yin Ruobing’s third uncle. Who knew what would happen in the future?

“Young Master, we want to follow you; we are willing to even die.” Tang Xue stubbornly gritted her teeth and said. Tang Yan was slightly shyer and did not dare to say anything. However, her eyes were fixated on Jiang Yi, pleading him.

“Don’t worry.”

Jiang Yi raised his hands and patted both ladies’ heads, saying, “Yin Ruobing is a very good friend of mine. You two will definitely be safe with her. She will treat the two of you well.”

“No!”

Tang Xue gritted her teeth and said, “Young Master. Why not you put the two of us in the Thearch Palace? Even if you never let us out, we will be willing as well.”

“Foolish lass!”

Jiang Yi sighed slightly and said, “Trust me. Nothing will go wrong if you two follow Yin Ruobing. How about this… I guarantee that once I have settled my affairs, I will go to Yin Ruobing and ask for the two of you back. Is that okay?”

“Very well then.”

Since Jiang Yi was resolute, Tang Xue and Tang Yan did not dare to say more. The two of them looked at Jiang Yi coyly, looking pitiful and slightly angry.

Sigh…

Looking at the two pitiful ladies made Jiang Yi recall Jiang Xiaonu who was faraway in the Endless Deep Sea. It had been a few years since he had last seen her. What had she become? Was she well?

Thinking of Jiang Xiaonu made Jiang Yi a lot gloomier. He turned and walked towards the bed, not intending to cultivate tonight. He closed his eyes and laid on the bed, in a daze.

Tang Xue and Tang Yan saw that Jiang Yi was unhappy and thought that it was because he was sad that they were going to be separated. The two of them blushed and exchanged a glance. Tang Xue looked both shy and resolute. She gave Tang Yan a look, and the two started to take off their clothes.

Shh-shh-shh!

The sound of clothes fluttering startled Jiang Yi. He opened his eyes and looked, and his eyes immediately grew wide.

Tang Xue and Tang Yan had already taken off their dress. They were both wearing a long translucent inner garment. Their white thighs dazzled Jiang Yi for a moment, especially because the duo’s faces were identical. The visual impact was powerful.

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly turned his head and shouted, “What are you two doing? Put your clothes on!”

“Young master!”

Tang Yan was shy and lowered her head without saying anything. Tang Xue, however, gritted her teeth and said, “Young Master’s kindness is something that the two of us can never repay. We can only give ourselves to you. Young Master, we are both virgins and are willing to serve you. En. My younger sister had long been hoping that you would take a fancy to her!”

“Aiya! Sister, what are you saying?”

Tang Yan shuddered, and she was so shy that she wished there was a hole where she could disappear into on the spot. She also gritted her teeth and shot back, “Sister, when we were taking a shower yesterday, didn’t you also say that you wanted to be with Young Master? You also said that Young Master was very muscular…”
