Chapter 215: What Do You Mean By This?

Jiang Yi, Yun Fei, and Zhan Wushuang were tied up together and had fresh blood all over their bodies, disheveled hairs… and looked like they were in a miserable state. Due to his bronze skin, Zhan Wushuang was too easy to identify; and Xia Tian definitely recognized him. He was pretending to not know him and spoke as though he wanted to take revenge for Shui Qianrou, but he was obviously lying with his eyes wide open.

“Oh?”

Shui Zhonghua’s eyes lit up. Jiang Yi instructed her to trick this group of people to come over without any form of vigilance. Since they were taking the initiative now, she naturally was more than happy and immediately nodded. “These are the renegades that tried to harm Young Lady. Had it not been for the Hostess, Young Lady would be dead. These people have extraordinary statuses, and without Young Lady’s orders, we didn’t dare to do anything excessive. Are you sure you aren’t afraid of their backers taking revenge?”

“Hahaha!”

Xia Tian and Zhangsun Wuji both laughed while Xia Tian gestured with his hand while shouting, “Someone, take down these three individuals and execute them on the spot. There is no one in this world that I, Xia Tian, don’t dare to kill.”

Xia Tian’s men didn’t move, but there was a flash of delight on Zhangsun Wuji’s face as he waved with his hand while twenty Soul Travel Realm experts rushed towards Jiang Yi. Shui Zhonghua also gestured with her hand for her subordinates to shift aside and allowed Zhangsun Wuji’s men to swiftly dash in.

“Buzz!”

Just as these twenty men were about tens of meters away, the edge of Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed a smear of cold intent. He whispered to Gu Te who was holding onto him, “Do it.”

“Tsk-Tsk!”

With Jiang Yi’s orders, all the Soul Travel Realm experts circulated their essence force frenziedly. Over 70 essence force attacks congealed as they were launched through the air, enveloping the 20 people that rushed over.

“En?”

“Ah? Retreat quickly!”

“Young Clan Head…”

There was a sudden change of events which caused Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian’s expression to change drastically—turning those twenty expressions bloodless. Both sides’ distance was only tens of meters, and Zhangsun Wuji’s men didn’t put up any guard while the other side had long prepared their essence forces. They even fought 70 against 20, and the result was easy to predict.

“Pong-Pong!”

“Tsk-Tsk!”

Numerous essence forces blasted at these 20 Soul Travel Realm experts in a blink of the eye. Majority of them had their bodies turned into mince while the rest were left in a bloody mess—even if they didn’t perish, they would be fatally injured or crippled.

“This… what is this supposed to mean? Why are you attacking our people?”

Xia Tian’s eyes were flicking as he glared at Shui Zhonghua and yelled at her. Zhangsun Wuji controlled the Ice Dragon and flew up into the air while shouting out concurrently, “Retreat! Everyone, retreat!”

“It’s too late. Attack!”

Jiang Yi bellowed. Gu Te and the others immediately flew out while the majority of the Water Moon Observatory maidens attacked, too, leaving behind one martial artist to look after Shui Qianrou.

Jiang Yi, Zhan Wushuang, and Yun Fei continued to pretend like they were unconscious. With Zhan Wushuang’s status, he had some things that he must not get involved in. After all, the people that Xia Tian brought along, all belonged to the royal faction. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to openly fight against Xia Tian because the Soul-Subduing Herb was in the hands of the Divine Martial Kingdom’s royal clan. Hence, with the three of them pretending to be unconscious, even if Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian found out that they were the masterminds, they wouldn’t be able to speak of it!

“Water Moon Formation!”

The maidens from the Water Moon Observatory had been sprinting and moving into positions at the same time, and soon enough, their green robes began glowing. Rays of green light linked them together and formed a hexagram formation. Their speed suddenly increased as the 44 of them swiftly released their essence forces, blasting at the people who were trying to flee.

“Binding of Wind!”

Gu Te’s scepter would glow from time to time, blowing cool breezes over and binding any martial artists that could feel the breeze. Once their speed had been affected, they would ultimately be blasted into pieces by the essence force attacks.

“Mother Earth Roar!”

Huo Shu began to release his sorcery, too, causing the surface of the ground to tremble, affecting the speed of those escaping martial artists ahead.

“Kill—!”

A group of martial artists came rushing over from the east. There wasn’t a lot of them—which numbered around 80 and with only nine Soul Travel Realm martial artists.

All of them were dressed in black robes and covered in black face cloths while their eyes were brimming with killing aura. Once they approached, the Soul Travel Realm experts began to shoot their essence force without saying anything. There was a female martial artist holding a calabash which flashed with light, causing countless little green snakes to emerge from the ground and rush at Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian’s men with lightning speed.

“Ah!”

The members of the Zhangsun Clan and the royal clan were in complete despair. They lost in terms of numbers and were at a complete loss in combat strength, too. The Water Moon Observatory was using the Water Moon Formation which increased everyone’s attack strength and was complemented by the sorcery from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s martial artists. Even a hundred Soul Travel Realm experts wouldn’t be able to handle this—let alone their small group.

“Wuji, what should we do?”

Looking below at their men being eliminated like watermelons being cut up, Xia Tian’s expression was expressive gloomy. With his and Zhangsun Wuji’s measly ability, they would be going for their death even if they went down.

“What else can we do?”

Zhangsun Wuji looked below at Jiang Yi and Shui Qianrou with bitter resentment. He was muddle-headed for a moment earlier, but he came back to his senses now. He didn’t know what happened exactly, but Jiang Yi was definitely involved in this matter; otherwise, Shui Qianrou’s subordinates wouldn’t act so resolutely.

Looking at all his men who were about to be wiped out, Xia Tian was still unwilling to give up as he stared viciously at Jiang Yi and spoke, “Why not… control the Ice Dragon to descend, and we will use the God-Exterminating Crossbows to forcefully take out Jiang Yi?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Zhangsun Wuji let out a mocking laugh as he looked at the Zhangsun clansmen below with a smear of pain on his face. He gritted his teeth and steered the Ice Dragon, flying into the distance.

Xia Tian was a stupid fool, but Zhangsun Wuji wasn’t. He knew if he was to descend, Jiang Yi would certainly stop pretending; and if the opportunity arose for Jiang Yi to silence him and Xia Tian—even Zhan Wushuang would forcefully make a move.

“Sigh…”

When Jiang Yi peeked at the Ice Dragon flying way, he opened his eyes while Zhan Wushuang let out a slight sigh, too. Zhangsun Wuji was too clever; the three of them were actually waiting for them to get down to attack, which would give them the opportunity to kill Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian. But now, they could only look on helplessly as they fled.

The battle quickly ended, and Jiang Yi was satisfied with the result. There were a few injured men, but there were no deaths while Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian’s men were completely wiped out. It was a pity that the two leaders had fled.

“Princess, Young Master Jiang, Young Master Zhan. None of these people has any medal…”

After cleaning up the battlefield, Gu Te’s subordinates brought extremely bad news while Jiang Yi looked in the direction where Zhangsun Wuji fled with a gloomy expression. Xia Tian must have an ancient divine essence ring, and all their medals must have been kept on Xia Tian.

The Zhangsun Clan and the royal clan were truly wealthy, enough for them to place two spirit artifacts in this group of people and a few God-Exterminating Crossbows. When Gu Te was asking for instructions, Jiang Yi waved his hand and spoke to Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei, “Split these items among both your clans. I have spirit artifacts and also ten sets of God-Exterminating Crossbows. I don’t need these items.”

Zhan Wushuang rejected and gestured with his hands. “Yun Fei, give them to your people. We cannot keep these items from the royal clan.”

Yun Fei didn’t hold back either and immediately distributed the spoils to her men. Of course, Gu Te and Huo Shu’s men didn’t have their share; the maidens from the Water Moon Observatory weren’t envious either. They were already thankful that Jiang Yi didn’t plunder Shui Qianrou’s artifacts.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and yelled out, “Yun Fei, continue scouting. As long as you find a group that has more than 50 men, immediately surround them! I will just take the medals while all the spoils will belong to you.”
