As a black market castle’s name suggested, there were things inside there that could not see the light of day!
As long as one had divine roots, a group of young girls could be brought to someone for them to enjoy as they please… or a group of people for them to kill as they liked. There were only things they could not imagine, but never things that could not be done.
The Crazed God Castle had a few hundred Pavilion Branches within the Earth Emanations Domain. There was also a General Pavilion in the Earth Emanations City; it had been around for a thousand years. This was a thousand Higher-Domain years. For such a devilish and evil thing to survive for such a long time could only mean one thing: the Crazed God Castle had powerful very influential backers. This was also the reason why Commander He had not given in to Jiang Yi regarding the Pandan plant.
“The He Clan? They are indeed strong!”
Jiang Yi was holding onto a docket containing information on the He Clan. Although it was not complete, it had—more or less—summarized the power dynamics of the He Clan.
The He Clan was an indigenous divine race; it was one of the top ten indigenous divine races in the Earth Emanations Domain. However, they were still considered inferior to the Xuanyuan Clan. These ancient and powerful races had their spheres of influence throughout the entire Earth Emanations Domain. They had their power bases everywhere while they had men inside the Earth Emanations Pavilion, the Demon-Killing Pavilion, and the Battle God Pavilion. Some of them were even high-ranked and wielded great power.
The He Clan’s greatest pillar of support was someone whose eyes Jiang Yi had seen.
That was the Earth Emanations Domain Battle God Pavilion General Pavilion Lord Jiutian Wu. The He Clan Head’s daughter was a concubine of Jiutian Wu; she was also greatly loved. This concubine’s son was presently the Battle God Pavilion Blue Eagle Prefecture Pavilion Branch’s Assistant Pavilion Lord.
“No wonder Commander He would not even give me face for something worth only five million divine roots; the He Clan has such a powerful backer!”
Jiang Yi smiled slightly as he shrugged this news off. The faces of Gu Mu and Commander Liu were very serious in contrast. Gu Mu did not dare to say anything. Commander Liu, on the other hand, tried to persuade Jiang Yi. “My dear City Lord, I think this matter has escalated far enough. We should stop before some higher-up arrives. At that time, both sides would not be able to settle things easily anymore. If this matter blows up, it will not be beneficial to you.”
Jiang Yi did not say anything. He only looked at Commander Liu for a while and asked softly, “Old Liu, are you afraid?”
“What should I be afraid of?”
Commander Liu actually smiled as he said very determinedly, “City Lord, the moment you made me the Assistant City Lord, my life had become yours. I am worried about you.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi smiled lightly as he said confidently, “Don’t worry, I will hold the fort!”
After Jiang Yi’s last words, Commander Liu and Gu Mu’s hearts settled down inexplicably. The two exchanged a glance as they looked slightly stunned. Jiang Yi had actually injected some confidence in the two of them that if they followed him, there would not be any problems whatsoever. For someone so young and still rather weak to have such a special airs, this was someone who was destined to become a leader.
The two did not speak anymore. Commander Liu left to make arrangements as Jiang Yi closed his eyes to rest. Before long, Xiao Leng had returned. Once he entered, he said exasperatedly, “Why have you gone to offend the Crazed God Castle? Someone has asked me to send you a warning to lie low and not be too flashy. If not, things could go wrong easily…”
“It has come!”
The He Clan’s response was so quick that it was beyond Jiang Yi’s expectation. Furthermore, the first wave was actually represented by Xiao Lengi. Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed a slightly mocking expression as he said, “Old Xiao, I am going to clash with the Crazed God Castle today. Who will you decide to help?”
“What nonsense!”
Xiao Leng’s ugly face grew twisted as he sat down and said, “If you want to play with fire, go ahead. I will not help anyone. If you can withstand the pressure, please continue.”
“Haha!”
Jiang Yi smiled and said, “Old Xiao is indeed a real brother. You can sit and watch the show. I am actually interested to see what kind of pressure will be exerted on me!”
“A powerful one…” Xiao Leng rolled his eyes as he said, “I wager that you won’t be able to take it soon.”
Shh-shh-shh!
Xiao Leng’s words had not finished when there were footsteps shuffling outside. He Wei walked in hurriedly and reported, “Jiang Yi, Pavilion Lord Xuanyuan has arrived.”

The second wave had come!
Jiang Yi’s smile widened as he laughed. Even though he was smiling, his voice was very cold as he said, “I will not see her. Tell her I am in seclusion.”
“Awesome!”
Xiao Leng raised his thumb. Jiang Yi was not even going to see his own Pavilion Lord this time; he seemed to be prepared to fight to the death. Gu Mu was secretly sweating for Jiang Yi. He seemed bent on offending Xuanyuan Lingyan. He did not know, however, that Jiang Yi had already—more or less—gone head-on with Xuanyuan Lingyan before this.
“Hoho!”
Laughter rang out in the central hall. Xuanyuan Lingyan’s voice actually traveled in: “City Lord Jiang has balls; you are even refusing to see me. Alright, I actually do not wish to see you as well. I just want to say something. You have gone overboard this time. Someone important within the Blue Eagle Prefecture Demon-Killing Pavilion Branch had sent word asking if you still want to be this Hunting Envoy or not!”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi grew annoyed as he smiled and said, “Pavilion Lord Xuanyuan, help me reply to him and say that I will fight this to the death; he can threaten all he wants!”
“In that case, City Lord Jiang, take care of yourself.”
Xuanyuan Lingyan’s words faded as they traveled towards Jiang Yi. It was obvious she had already left the Jiang Manor to return to the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Xiao Leng’s face revealed ugly laughter as he said, “Lad, you have balls! This Hunting Envoy designation is really worth nothing! If things don’t work out, you can turn against the Demon-Killing Pavilion and join the Earth Emanations Pavilion.”
“Rubbish!”
Jiang Yi was at a loss for words as he said, “As long as the Demon-Killing Pavilion does not betray me, I will not betray it. Old Xiao, stop trying to drive a wedge between me and the Pavilion.”
“Hehe!”
Xiao Leng smiled as he sent a voice transmission: “Regarding the Poison Spirit, I have sent someone to go and investigate. I should be hearing back from him soon. However… now that you have stirred up something like this, do you still dare to go and take a mission? What if the He Clan sends an assassin after you?”
“What should I be afraid of?”
Jiang Yi laughed coldly and said, “At most, I will bring along a thousand Earth Emanations Army soldiers. After all, teleporting within the Blue Eagle Prefecture is free. Would the He Clan dare to kill a thousand Earth Emanations Army soldiers? Wouldn’t they be afraid that the Earth Emanations Sovereign would destroy their entire clan?”
“You are shrewd…”
Xiao Leng was really speechless. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had a strict order that no one was to bring Earth Emanations Army soldiers out for private matters. Jiang Yi seemed bent on continuing his vicious cycle of offending as many people as he could. He did not appear to care about any punishment from his superiors or afraid that he was ruining his own future.
The three sat within the castle as they waited silently. After fourteen to sixteen hours, the main characters finally arrived!
“City Lord!”
He Wei and Commander Liu had entered together. Commander Liu’s face was extremely dark as he reported, “The sixth young master of the Jiutian Clan, the third young mistress of the He Clan, and the Blue Eagle Prefecture Battle God Pavilion Lord have arrived together. They are now heading towards the Jiang Manor under the accompaniment of the new Divine Eagle City Battle God Pavilion Lord Rong Wei!”
Ss, ss!
Gu Mu sucked in a few breaths of cold air. Even Xiao Leng’s mouth twitched. So many important people had come; even Xiao Leng would not be able to handle them. After all, if one were to offend so many powerful people at one go, he would not be able to eke out a living from now on.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Everyone’s gaze turned towards Jiang Yi, wanting to see his reaction.
To everyone’s surprise, Jiang Yi stretched and yawned as he walked towards the corridor. Before he entered it, he turned and said, “I am sleepy. I will go and take a nap first. When the who and the who arrive, ask them to wait; just tell them I am in seclusion cultivating.”
“…”
Jiang Yi’s footsteps grew softer and softer as Xiao Leng and company exchanged stares at a loss at what was to be done. Probably only Jiang Yi would dare to make Jiutian Wu’s grandson, the He Clan’s third young mistress, and the Blue Eagle Prefecture Battle God Pavilion Lord wait, right? Even Xiao Hong would have to greet them courteously, right?
