Chapter 1596 - I am Jiang Yi of the Stellarsky Domain

Chapter 1596: I am Jiang Yi of the Stellarsky Domain

The Earth Domain contained many ancient races. Most of them had already been around for hundreds of thousands of years and remained at the pinnacle of the Earth Domain. Some of them had even gone to the Heaven Domain to fight for a while. The Bai Clan was one such clan.

The Bai Clan had a long history. When they were at their peak, they once occupied one of the ten great domains in the Heaven Domain called the Divine Dragon Domain. Even now, some Bai Clan’s disciples were still in the Heaven Domain. A clan elder of theirs even used to be a general of the Supreme Thearch.

The Bai Clan’s strategy had always been good. Every year, they would channel a huge amount of resources into nurturing the young. Once these young people managed to achieve something on their own and reached the God Thearch Realm, they would be sent to the Heaven Domain.

Of course… most of these people died in the Heaven Domain. Only a small proportion of them survived and made a name for themselves in the Heaven Domain. Some of them became chiefs, and others became generals and commanders under the four thearchs. The Bai Clan did not need people to be loyal to them; they only needed people to stand with them and retreat or advance together.

Not only would this allow the Bai Clan to accumulate limitless resources, but it would also help them to meet many like-minded and powerful friends. Thus, for hundreds of years, the Bai Clan had remained standing. Anyone who hoped to lay a finger on the Bai Clan would be offending countless their allies in the Heaven Domain as well.

Throughout history, the Bai Clan had faced many threats. For example, their White River Domain was once swallowed up by the Divine Yang Race. Moreover, a single order from an important person in the Heaven Domain would cause the entire Bai Clan to be in a very difficult position.

This time, the Bai Clan was faced with yet another threat!

This threat was coming from one person—a young person. To Zhu Qiang, if the Bai Clan failed to handle this problem well today, their family would—at the very least—incur huge losses and injuries or possibly even have their clan be destroyed,

Buzz!

The Teleportation Formations of White River City kept flashing nonstop. There were already many formidable martial artists and soldiers gathered in the city plaza. Hundreds of the Bai Clan’s elders were present as well, together with the three young masters of the Bai Clan. However, Bai Ditian and the White River King were nowhere to be seen.

The Teleportation Formation’s light dissipated. Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen, who was carrying Xuan Guo’er, appeared within the Teleportation Formation.

Zhu Qiang was here as well. He scanned the group of the Bai Clan’s disciples, whose expressions were dark. When he noticed the countless formidable martial artists nearby, he cursed under his breath. Since they captured Xuan Ye, wouldn’t it be easy just to let him go? Why did they have to go to this extent to resist Jiang Yi? Were they prepared to fight to the death with him?

The Bai Clan was huge and prosperous indeed. The army on the city plaza numbered in the tens of thousands, including at least thousands of God Thearchs. There were more than a hundred Titled God Thearchs as well. The seven elders standing in the front of the group were all comparable to Ren Tianfan.

Jiang Yi scanned all of them coolly as his blood began to boil and his eyes began to turn red. The Fire Dragon Sword and a zither appeared in his hands. He was prepared to start fighting any time. He had always been this way. If people spoke nicely to him, he would smile and treat them warmly. However, if they gathered an army and attempted to scare him into backing down, he would not turn down the challenge. He would not even bother to utter half a sentence of nonsense.

Qi Qingchen noticed that something was wrong with the situation. She decided that she would not allow Jiang Yi to make a mess of the situation. Instead, she looked around and said gently, “I am Qi Qingchen. Who is Bai Digu? We want to see him.”

Jiang Yi retracted his killer aura. Qi Qingchen had spoken. Naturally, he had to have regard for her. A young master in an elegant robe, standing among two others like him, stepped out of the crowd and cupped his hands. “Bai Digu pays his greetings to Young Mistress Qingchen. I wonder what instructions you have for me.”

Bai Digu looked much like Bai Ditian, but the former looked older and weaker than the latter. There was a treacherous aura about him. One look and Jiang Yi could tell that this man’s temper was not good.

Bai Digu’s gaze swept past Qi Qingchen. He had no regard for Jiang Yi at all; neither did he bother speaking to him. Zhu Qiang noted that the situation was worsening. In his heart, he regretted making this trip with Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen.

On seeing that Bai Digu did not even bother to address Jiang Yi, his blood pressure rose even more. However, he did not explode. If he could settle this peacefully, there would be no need to get into more conflict.

Qi Qingchen shot him a look and then turned to face Bai Digu. “The two of us did not come to offend the Bai Clan. It’s just that we heard that Jiang Yi’s friend had been arrested by you. His name is Xuan Ye. Young Master Bai, can you let him go on my account? That’s right… is the White River King not around? Qingchen wants to personally pay a visit to him.”

Qi Qingchen was already placing herself in a very lowly position as opposed to Bai Digu. She did not want Jiang Yi to clash with the Bai Clan any further; otherwise, given her own status and skill level, she would not have bothered to speak to this good-for-nothing. This man was only a God Thearch. It was obvious that a fair amount of the Bai Clan’s resources had been spent trying to push this man up. Whenever he looked at her, his eyes reflected a hint of greed and thirst. Just this look alone disgusted her.

“Xuan Ye?”

Bai Digu blinked slowly and suspiciously. He turned around to glance at the several elders behind him and asked, “Was there such a thing?”

Jiang Yi was even more angered this time. The Fire Dragon Sword in his hand flickered, and his body emitted sharp killing intent. Qi Qingchen quickly reached out and patted his arm with her jade-like hand. It was only then that Jiang Yi suppressed his anger.

“Yes!”

An elder nodded and answered, “Not long ago, we did capture a man from the Ten Thousand Saints Domain. This Xuan Ye committed a grave offense. He killed two of our clan’s disciples. The Criminal Hall has already sentenced him with a death penalty. We have been preparing for the execution during this time.”

“Oh?”

Bai Digu acted like this was the first time he was hearing about this. He pondered for a long while and then waved his hand to look generous. “Since Young Mistress Qingchen has spoken, we cannot ignore her request. Someone, get Xuan Ye here and hand him over to Young Mistress Qingchen. En… Majesty Father is not here; he’s still in the Heaven Desert Domain. Young Mistress Qingchen, if you want to see him, you might have to come again next time. Apologies.”

“Thank you, Young Master Bai.”

Qi Qingchen nodded slightly. She felt like a huge rock had just been lifted off her chest. As long as Xuan Ye was not dead, Jiang Yi’s temper would not explode. Since the White River King was not here—if Jiang Yi were to lose his temper, nobody would be able to control him.

The elder immediately retreated to bring Xuan Ye over. Bai Digu invited Qi Qingchen to take a seat in his residence, but she rejected his invitation. From beginning to end, Bai Digu and the Bai Clan did not say a single word to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi could not even be bothered to speak to them as well. He remained silent the entire time.

Zhu Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a weight being lifted off his shoulders as well. At first, he thought something bad was going to happen. He did not think that Bai Digu would not create trouble. This young master’s skills were not up to par, but his temper was horrible. Compared to Bai Ditian, his character and his management skills were far off.

Shh-shh-shh!

Some time later, the elder returned. There were two soldiers following behind him, holding onto a man with a bloodied face. This man’s arms and legs were all broken. Jiang Yi could see all his bones sticking out of his skin. He looked like he was going to pass out at any moment. He was half-dead.

“Mystic Thearch!”

Jiang Yi scanned this man from head to toe, and his expression changed at once. He charged forward to support the Mystic Thearch as fast as he could. Seeing this strange yet familiar face caused Jiang Yi’s blood to boil again. The killing intent emitting from his body became overwhelming once more.

“Jiang Yi, don’t be rash. Let’s help to heal Xuan Ye first. The Bai Clan is very powerful in the Heaven Domain. We have to swallow this. We’ll wait until you become more powerful before we take revenge.”

Qi Qingchen’s voice transmission rang in Jiang Yi’s head. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and focus on healing the Mystic Thearch. Xuan Guo’er took several glances at the Mystic Thearch and immediately burst into tears. She struggled to get out of Qi Qingchen’s grip as she screamed, “Father, Father…!”

Hearing Xuan Guo’er’s voice seemed to perk the Mystic Thearch up right away. He opened his eyes and looked around. When he saw Jiang Yi, he looked like a huge realization had just dawned on him. However, he quickly turned to look at Xuan Guo’er. At once, his eyes widened in shock.

When he saw Xuan Guo’er struggling to run to him but Qi Qingchen holding her back, he roared in anger, “You beasts! Are you not going to let even a child go? I’ll fight it out with you!”

“Mystic Thearch!”

Jiang Yi quickly held the struggling Mystic Thearch and shouted, “Mystic Thearch, calm down! With me around, nothing untoward will happen to Guo’er. I am Jiang Yi—Jiang Yi of the Stellarsky Domain. Do you still remember the Mystic Divine Palace and the Mystic Divine Saber?”
