Clang, clang!

Lu Ling and Lu Yu brought two guards respectively, who were all upper-tier Heaven Monarchs. Elder Rong even reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch. Their faces were darkened to the extreme. Weapons appeared in their hands, and they fixed on Jiang Yi and were about to attack.

Swis.h.!.+

However, there was one person who was even faster than them. Once Jiang Yi’s body congealed, Huangfu Taotian flashed by, rushed down, and stood in front of Jiang Yi. His sneer echoed across the tall platform: “Want to kill my brother Jiang? You have to first consult the sword in my hand.”

“Uh…”

They suppressed their attacks that were so close to being released. It was not only because Huangfu Taotian stood in front of Jiang Yi but also due to a cold aura surrounding everyone on the platform. Elder Rong believed that if he dared to let out any attack, they all had to die.

Shadow?

A name appeared in their minds, he was extremely famous in the G.o.ds Bestow Tribe. However, no one had seen him before. People only knew that he was called ‘Shadow’ whose a.s.sa.s.sination ability ranked first in the G.o.ds Bestow Tribe. He was the no.1 general who worked under Huangfu Qi.

It was true that Elder Rong was a peak-stage Heaven Monarch, but he was only slightly stronger than Qing Long as his strongest dao pattern was only three-star. However, the most powerful dao pattern of Shadow even reached six stars!

If Shadow acted, they would die in an instance. Obviously, Shadow didn’t show any mercy to the men that he wanted to kill and only followed the order of Huangfu Qi. Shadow appeared right now right here; it was clear that he was here to protect Huangfu Taotian.

Elder Rong took a deep breath, looked at Huangfu Taotian viciously, and said, “Young Master Huangfu, an outsider is not worthwhile. Our 13 clans are one body. Are you really going to make an enemy of the 13 clans for an outsider?”

“Hmph!”

A narrow silver combat sword already appeared in Huangfu Taotian’s hand. The divine s.h.i.+eld glowed around his body, too. He looked at Elder Rong in contempt and said, “Are you worthy of being the members of the thirteen clans? You have brought disgrace to the Lu Clan. In a duel, life and death don’t matter, and n.o.body will be held responsible. Didn’t you forget this rule? If this thing gets out, the thirteen clans will be ashamed because of you!

“What did the Great Emperor Nangong once say? It is okay for the descendants the thirteen clans to lose—to die, but it is not fine for them to lose their manners and pride! Furthermore… I, Huangfu Taotian, have already been expelled from the Huangfu Clan. I am not like you. Stop this meaningless talking. If you want to strike, I am willing to be your company.”

“You…”

Elder Rong trembled with rage. The principle of no one being responsible for others’ deaths in a duel was indeed the rule of the thirteen clans, but that was limited to the duels between the clansmen of the thirteen clans. However, was Jiang Yi one of their clansmen? What was the position of Lu Li? Rules of the thirteen clans had always been aimed at their own people. They never followed their clan’s rules when dealing with outsiders and killed them as they pleased.

However, as Huangfu Taotian had said such a thing, Elder Rong was at his wits’ end. He had no choice but to turn to Lei Qiyan, hoping that he would say something to his favor. After all, it seemed like he was the one who picked up the duel.

Lei Qiyan’s eyes twinkled. He ignored Elder Rong, looked at Jiang Yi, and said in a deep voice, “Jiang Yi, return the body of Lu Lin to us first.”

Actually, he didn’t have to get back Lu Lin’s body. The key was that—he lent Lu Lin two Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasures, which were the top-level treasures; they were priceless. Jiang Yi kept Lu Lin’s body which meant that his Spiritual Connecting cardinal treasures went to Jiang Yi, too.

“Jiang Yi?”

Jiang Yi frowned. Lei Qiyan even knew his name?! It seemed like they already saw the clue from the Fire Cloud Armor.

He remained silent for a while. The Ancient Divine Essence Ring shone on his hand, and Lu Lin’s body appeared. He clapped his hand, Lu Lin’s body shot at Elder Rong and his group.

Lei Qiyan’s divine senses swept around. Immediately, he was furious and burst out shouting, “Where are the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and Mother Earth Armor? Where is Lu Lin’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring?”

Lu Lin was dead so the spiritual imprints inside the Mother Earth Armor and Ancient Divine Essence Ring were gone. Jiang Yi already put away the Mother Earth Armor and Ancient Divine Essence Ring when he took in the body. As for the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler, it was inside the Ancient Divine Essence Ring.

Hearing the angry shouting from Lei Qiyan, Jiang Yi sneered and said, “I risked my life dueling with others and nearly died several times. Am I going to hand over the spoils after all the efforts that I put into winning? Do you think I am stupid? I am kind enough to let you have the body. If I was killed, all my treasures will also be seized by Lu Lin, right?”

Lei Qiyan was mad and barked, “The Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and Mother Earth Armor… are mine!”

“Bullsh*t!”

Huangpu Taotian laughed mockingly. “Lei Qiyan, didn’t you just say that you sold them to Lu Lin? Everyone here can be my witnesses. Do you want to steal the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and Mother Earth Armor since Lu Lin is dead now? I’ve seen shameless men, but I’ve never seen one like you! Moreover… it is an established rule of the duel that the winner is ent.i.tled to the opponent’s treasures for an award. Are the Lei Clansmen, as the owners of the Dueling Ground, going to break the rules on purpose? Do we need to go to the Lei Clan’s elder hall to argue this out?”

“Pfff…”

Lei Qiyan vomited a mouthful of blood. His legs felt weak; he almost fell onto the ground. His lips kept on trembling, but he couldn’t say anything to refute Huangfu Taotian.

Situ Yixiao, Huangfu Yun, and their groups blushed and turned around, trying their best to hold back their laughter. These were called lifting stones to smash his own feet, and Lei Qiyan smashed himself twice today.

“Cousin!”

Lu Yu held Lu Lin’s body in her arms. Floods of tears dripped from her pretty eyes which were filled with a vicious look. She glared at Jiang Yi and said, “Jiang Yi, how dare you to kill my cousin. Our Lu Clan will not let this pa.s.s until you are dead! Let’s go!”

Lu Yu was well aware that she couldn’t kill Jiang Yi today. In the presence of Huangfu Taotian, Elder Rong surely wouldn’t risk doing anything. Rather than being caught in a deadlock here, she might as well go back and pa.s.s the message to her father, Lu Li, as soon as possible.

Elder Rong held Lu Lin’s dead body by his waist, gave Jiang Yi an angry stare, and left with Lu Yu. Huangfu Taotian also smiled and said, “Brother Jiang, let’s go now. Who dares to stop us?”

Jiang Yi nodded in approval. He followed Huangfu Taotian to the spectator’s stand and walked out with Qian w.a.n.guan. Even though Lei Qiyan desperately wanted to ask people to stop them—when he thought of Shadow who was protecting Huangfu Taotian and all the young masters and young mistresses present, he had no choice but to clench his teeth and watch Jiang Yi and his group leave.

“Yinian, it’s late. Shall we go back, too?”

Situ Yixiao told Situ Yinian expressionlessly. They left with their groups. After going out of the main gate, they looked at each other; both couldn’t help laughing.

Situ Yixiao laughed for a while before becoming serious and sent a voice transmission:

“Hurry up and go back. Let’s report this to Father. We can’t miss a talent like Jiang Yi.”

Situ Yinian nodded and sent a voice transmission back:

“Actually… I suspect that the real Yi Piaopiao is Jiang Yi. Big brother, what do you think?”

“No matter who he is, let’s discuss it after going back!”

After Situ Yixiao sent another voice transmission, they turned into a divine rainbow and flew to the Situ Clan’s residence. The other young masters and young mistresses in the dueling ground returned to their respective homes as fast as possible. Something big had happened together. They had to bring the news back as soon as they could, especially… when Jiang Yi might have Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s and Heaven Evasion with him!

“Brother Huangfu, thanks a lot for tonight!”

After returning to the Yi residence, Jiang Yi made a deep bow. Then, he smiled bitterly at Feng Luan and others who were walking quickly behind him. “My ident.i.ty is exposed. You guys go into the Thearch Palace now. We may run away anytime.”

“Run?”

Huangfu Taotian lifted his brows and asked, “Why do you need to run? Oh… Brother Jiang, are you afraid that those eminent clans will be after your Heaven Evasion, Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s, and Fire Cloud Armor?”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “I’ve refined the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s, but they don’t know that. As for the Heaven Evasion divine skill… I’m afraid that all those prestigious clans are desperate to get it.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Huangfu Taotian waved his hand and said, “You just rest a.s.sured and stay here. n.o.body dares to a.s.sault you in public. In the worst case, you can turn to Situ Clan, Nangong Clan, or Huangfu Clan and make a deal with them. With the protection from any one of the clans, Tiger Lei and Lu Lin won’t have the b.a.l.l.s to mess around.”
