Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 803: Beat Them at Their own Game

Just as Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian walked out, they saw Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan rushing over. Qian Wanguan spoke with a grave expression from far away, “Boss, I just received news that Big Brother Wushuang and Yun Fei’s Heaven Fate Ship were intercepted. It is done by the Devil Legion. They have all been seized, and the bandit legion is asking for a ransom of 100 billion!”

Jiang Yi had a face cold as ice. There was definitely something fishy about this. The Green Bird Merchant Association’s Heaven Fate Ship had been operating without trouble for so many years, and apart from getting intercepted by Huangfu Taotian, how could it be intercepted by a bandit legion? The Green Bird Merchant Association was known for their military prowess, and they would even bribe the top ten bandit legions every month.

“Brother Jiang, don’t be anxious first. We will go see my father first!” When Situ Yixiao saw Jiang Yi having subtle signs of going berserk, he quickly reached out his hand to grab onto Jiang Yi and said, “My father already know this matter.”

“Alright!”

The top ten bandit legions of the Gods Bestow Sea wasn’t something the Black Wind Legion could be compared with. They had at least a million members and countless Heaven Monarchs and plenty of peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. If Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian were to go rescue them recklessly, they would only be throwing their lives away.

A group of people moved swiftly into a giant castle in the inner courtyard. Just as Situ Yixiao wanted to get a guard to report their arrival, that person shook his hand and said, “Young Master Yixiao, Young Master Jiang, Young Master Huangfu, Young Master Qian. Clan Head said that there is no need to report of your arrival. You may enter immediately, and Clan Head is in the study room.”

“Many thanks, Uncle Tu!”

Situ Yixiao nodded and led Jiang Yi and the others inside the castle. They walked in an elegant study room where Situ Ao was sitting and flipping through some information. When everyone entered, he didn’t even raise his head and simply beckoned his hand for everyone to sit down.

Jiang Yi and the others didn’t sit and simply stared blankly at Situ Ao. Everyone apart from Situ Yixiao had an indifferent expression as the other three had this imperative expression and wanted to kill their way to Gods Bestow Sea right now.

“En!”

After looking through the information, Situ Ao raised his head and threw the information aside before speaking, “I just read through a set of information. Nephew, Wanguan, your brother is actually a trap. Someone must have brought over the Devil Legion to intercept your friends and to entice you to walk into their traps. Of course… it might be possible that the current chief of the Devil Legion is already a hidden chess piece from a faction.

“As for how did they learn that your friends were on this Heaven Fate Ship… it must have been someone inside our 13 Clans making use of the information dissemination and purposely leaked it out. I am unable to find out who exactly was the one, and I am also unable to know if it was people from the East Imperial Continent. I am only certain that this is a trap, and no one knows how many experts the Devil Island has. This matter is rather troublesome…”

Situ Ao let out a deep sigh after finishing, and he was obviously in a difficult situation. After all, this matter might implicate the rest of the 13 Clans. It might be the Lu Clan or the Lei Clan. If he helped Jiang Yi, he would completely offend the mastermind behind the scenes. If there was an ambush, they would suffer huge losses even if they managed to save the two hostages!

Huangfu Taotian took a glance at Situ Ao and had this guilty expression. He spoke in a deep voice, “It is because I didn’t handle this matter well. I thought that I did it rather covertly and didn’t get someone to look over them!”

“Big Brother Huangfu, you don’t have to blame yourself.”

Jiang Yi spoke heavily, “I am the one that is careless. It has nothing to do with you. Those people wanted to deal with me and will find all ways to do it. Big Brother Huangfu, give me a map and information on the Devil Legion. All of you do not have to get involved in this matter.”

“How could I let you?”

Huangfu Taotian glared and spoke with anger, “Jiang Yi, do you not treat me as a brother? What kind of rubbish are you talking about? When have I, Huangfu Taotian, ever been afraid? Come, let us both go level the Devil Island and rescue Zhan Wushuang and his wife.”

Jiang Yi nodded his head helplessly and bowed with cupped hands to Situ Ao. “Clan Head Situ, I will have to trouble you to take care of Wanguan and the others. If Jiang Yi manages to survive this time, I will definitely repay you greatly.”

As they spoke, Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian were about to head out. Situ Yixiao instantly got anxious while Situ Ao rolled his eyes and said, “Get back here, you rascals. Your double act was very brilliant, huh? Did I say I am not going to send out the troops to help you? Jiang Yi, 50 of the highest standard Heaven Paintings. Any less, this old man will be infuriated!”

Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian looked at each other and were shocked by Situ Ao’s boldness again. This wasn’t just an ordinary battle as the opposition as a powerful bandit legion. Furthermore, they still didn’t know who the mastermind for this conspiracy was. If it was the Lei Clan plotting from behind, the Situ Clan would definitely suffer great losses.

Of course, the important thing was to… rescue Jiang Yi’s friends. These two were insignificant people, and it was simply too great a cost to sacrifice so many Situ Clan’s experts for Jiang Yi’s matters.

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly gave a deep bow to Situ Ao and spoke with gratitude, “Uncle, if you can rescue Brother Wushuang and Yun Fei this time, I will give you as many Heaven Paintings you want!”

“Hahaha!”

Situ Ao stood up and laughed heartily with a gratified expression. He replied with sincerity, “The ‘Uncle’ you spoke of is even more valuable than 1000 Heaven Paintings. Alright… the two of you can stop squandering and return first. I will put in all my effort to settle this and will definitely rescue the two of them back for you.”

“How can I do that?”

Jiang Yi was anxious. How could he rest easy if he was acted to not do anything? Furthermore, this was his matter; how could he not put in any effort?

Situ Ao frowned and spoke in a deep voice, “What? You don’t believe Uncle’s capability?”

“No, no!”

Jiang Yi shook his hand quickly and said, “I mean since this is a trap—if I do not appear, the opposition will surely be suspicious. They might also hide Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei, making things very troublesome later on. I can use the Heaven Evasion and am able to escape whenever something goes wrong. Furthermore, I have the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to support in battle. Also… I have an ability that can scout the radius of ten million miles. I will be able to find Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei in advance and can even scout the enemy’s situation. That’s why, Uncle, I will be better for me to join the battle.”

“Scout ten million miles?”

Situ Ao and Situ Yixiao exchanged looks and were both slightly stunned. Huangfu Taotian turned to look at Jiang Yi abruptly and exclaimed, “Jiang Yi, you actually have such an ability? What kind of dao pattern is that?”

“Could the tribe not have any similar abilities?”

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes with doubt while Situ Ao responded firmly, “There isn’t, but I do not know if the East Imperial Continent has any. There is definitely no martial artist in the tribe that has such ability!”

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi was slightly startled as he silently thought that the Witch God was truly a heavenly prodigy. Such a big Gods Bestow Tribe which was filled with so many experts actually couldn’t develop an ability like the Divine Perception sorcery arts?

“Alright!”

Situ Ao shouted out heavily and paced around in the study room. After a moment, his eyes flashed and said, “Since Jiang Yi has such an ability, then this matter will be easier. We can beat them at their own game and completely eradicate the Devil Legion and the hidden faction. The Devil Legion has been famous for over 100,000 years, right? Their successive generations of chiefs must have amassed a lot of wealth. Jiang Yi, we will split the treasures in half.”

“No need, no need!”

Jiang Yi shook his hand quickly and said, “I have no need for celestial stones, and I am not lacking any treasures. All the spoils of war will belong to Situ Clan this time. As long as Uncle is willing to send troops to help me, I am already utterly grateful.”

“Then I shall not argue with you!”

Situ Ao nodded and beckoned his hand, “Yixiao, go and get the President of the Green Bird Merchant Association here. How can he sit by idly while their merchant association’s Heaven Fate Ship has been intercepted? Tell their President that if they don’t send out their troops, they can stop their business.”

“Alright!”

Situ Yixiao got up excitedly and ran out. Such a great battle was enough to stimulate anyone just by the thoughts of it. If the Situ Clan was to go all-out—coupling with a powerful merchant association and with Jiang Yi’s powerful ability, how could the Devil Legion not get wiped out?
