Chapter 1059: The Hero and the Beauty

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Nine Thearch Clans had bullied the East Imperial Continent for tens of thousands of years. All the civilians in the continent were familiar with the nine clans. Countless stories were passed down among the people. It was obvious that everyone knew them extremely well.

All except one clan!

The Zhan Clan was the most mysterious among the nine clans. They were so lowkey that people often forgot about them. The remaining eight clans fought for the four regions, but the Zhan Clan did not participate in this fight. For the past seventy thousand years, the Zhan Clan lived in a lone city—the Mystic Thearch City!

The Zhan Clan never bullied others, and the disciples of the clan rarely emerged from their city. The Buddha Clan rarely interfered in others’ disputes, but the Zhan Clan was rarely even seen by the other clans. Even when someone stole treasures from the Mystic Divine Palace on the Pegasus Continent and from the Purgatory Ruin later on, the Zhan Clan’s disciples were nowhere to be seen.

They did not even turn up when two generals from two major regions battled until the skies darkened, and the earth shook outside the Mystic Thearch City. This was despite the number of deaths that the battle alone had caused. As long as nobody caused any trouble within the Mystic Thearch City or on the Mystic Divine Mountain, the Zhan Clan would not bother.

The Sonar Thearch was quite a character. He was probably the best apart from the Nine Thearchs. However, no matter how good he was, he was still beneath the Nine Thearchs. Even when the Buddha Thearch celebrated his birthday the year before, the Zhan Clan did not send anyone to attend the celebration. Thus, the fact that they had appeared at this wedding caused many people to rub their eyes in disbelief.

When people saw Yin Ruobing—however, they quickly understood what was going on.

It was natural for heroes to fall in love with beauties. No matter how strong and manly a hero was, he would still be willing to do the stupidest and most ridiculous things for the woman he loved. Yin Ruobing was, without a doubt, an unparalleled beauty. It was understandable—therefore, that Zhan Tianlei would turn up at this wedding for her sake.

Great Young Master Chen was marrying a lady from the Yin Clan after all. It was said that the lady was Yin Ruobing’s cousin, too. Although the people of the Yin Clan had arrived a long time ago, it was still expected that Yin Ruobing would turn up to witness her own cousin’s wedding. In order to please Yin Ruobing, Zhan Tianlei was here at the valley as well.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Yin Ruobing and Zhan Tianlei’s arrival caused a huge stir among the crowd. The Family Head of the Chen Clan, as well as a few others, flew up into the sky to welcome the guests. Many other disciples from the major clans stood up to welcome them as well.

Zhan Tianlei was a Young Master of the Zhan Clan. He was thirty years old this year. Not long ago, he broke through the Demigod Realm, causing the entire continent to be shocked. Later, when Emperor Zhan went to the Yin Thearch City to propose a marriage between his son and Yin Ruobing, he managed to bring the latter home to his son. This caused many other men in the continent to look on with jealousy.

No matter how jealous they were, however, they had to admit that Zhan Tianlei was beyond talented. Now that his family was linked to the Yin’s in marriage, he was set to become the next Emperor Zhan. Now was a good chance to form good relations with him. Naturally, the crowd did not want to miss it for anything.

Hoo-hoo!

Jiang Yi looked at the crowd forming around Zhan Tianlei and Yin Ruobing, his expression one of loneliness. This was the same expression that was on the face of many other young men present. They looked both lonely and jealous. This meant that Jiang Yi did not stand out from the crowd.

Tang Ming walked forward to welcome them, but Jiang Yi remained behind with the other commanders. He was not even qualified enough to walk forward and bootlick Zhan Tianlei. All he could do was to bitterly stay where he was.

He had not seen Yin Ruobing in more than two years; she had become even more beautiful. In fact, she looked just like Tang Yan and Tang Xue. She was much more mature now like a flower in full bloom, emitting an attractive fragrance. Just as before, the smile on her face drew countless men in, but her insides remained cool and unapproachable. It was almost as if her heart had been frozen—nobody was allowed to enter it.

It was also because of this icy-coldness that she was even more attractive to Jiang Yi. If one could win her over, her heart would be completely opened to that man. She would smile genuinely. Just this prize alone was worth men dying for, right?

“The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful—how compatible!”

Jiang Yi scanned Zhan Tianlei with jealousy filling his chest, but he had last contentedly. Zhan Tianlei’s aura was stable. He had a handsome face and a strong build. Even his manners and the way he governed the country were top-notch. Even as he was being surrounded by a crowd, he looked relaxed. His stance exuded a kind of natural confidence, so that nobody dared to belittle him.

After staring at Zhan Tianlei for a longer time, Jiang Yi felt even more jealous. He turned away from him, determined to stop the jealousy from breeding. Instead, he prepared to sneak away to meet the Sonar Thearch for a little while. In any case, the wedding did not look like it was going to begin soon. By the time the commotion that Zhan Tianlei and Yin Ruobing caused settled, Jiang Yi guessed that there would still be at least another hour to wait.

“I’m going to the washroom. I probably ate something wrong yesterday.”

He turned and muttered to the commander beside him. The man did not pay him much attention. Jiang Yi’s identity was too mysterious. The commander was still unsure who he was. All he knew was Tang Ming had instructed them not to reveal too many details about him and to make sure that they never defied his orders.

Jiang Yi was dressed in blue full-body armor, and he looked quite strong, too. With his cool expression, he looked every bit like a strong, young guard. There were way too many guests today. Nobody even bothered about him as he strolled toward the buildings on the east side. With a female servant’s directions, he entered a toilet.

“The Sonar Thearch should be at the courtyard on the east-most side, right?”

Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan the area and locked in on a huge courtyard by a reservoir on the east side. There were restrictions put up there so that he could not search past them any further while the other places were open for him to look around. Without a doubt, that was where the Sonar Thearch resided.

He turned one round in the toilet, waiting for the female servant to leave. Then, he rushed toward that huge courtyard. Along the way, he met several female servants, but none of them said anything to him. Instead, they continued on their way after bowing to him respectfully. Today, the Valley was probably open to guests who were allowed to roam around as they pleased.

Jiang Yi arrived at the courtyard without much difficulty. Outside the courtyard stood several guards on duty. The prohibition sign on the gate glowed. Jiang Yi walked over, waved, and whispered, “Is this where the honorable Sonar Thearch lives?”

The two guards were quite polite to him. One of them raised his hand in a greeting and said, “This is indeed where my Clan Head lives. However, I offer my apologies, Sir. Our Clan Head will not see guests individually today.”

Jiang Yi smiled gently. “I am Yi San of the Tang Clan. Please let me through, I have something to report to the Sonar Thearch.”

“I’m sorry!”

The guard shook his head and said, “Sir, it’s not that I don’t respect you. I am just following my Clan Head’s orders.”

Jiang Yi paused. Suddenly, he sent a voice transmission: “Hehe, you should go and send the report. I am no ordinary person. Go and tell your Clan Head that Yi San wishes to see him. He will see me for sure, and he will not blame you. Trust me—I would not dare to cause a scene in the Divine Sonar Valley.” 

The guard pondered for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth, undid the restrictions, and walked through. Just as Jiang Yi said, this was the Divine Sonar Valley. Only someone out of his mind would dare to cause trouble here.

“What kind of person is the Sonar Thearch? Qi Tianchen said that he was a strange fellow. Would he help me?”

Jiang Yi stood outside the gates anxiously. The Sonar Thearch was such a character, and the Chen Clan was so huge. If he was willing to help Jiang Yi at all costs, Jiang Yi would have a very easy time finishing what he wanted to do. Take the matter regarding Tang Yan and Tang Xue for example—if the Sonar Thearch would speak up, the problem would be resolved immediately. Of course, Jiang Yi was not hoping that the Sonar Thearch would help him to trick the Nine Thearchs. It would be more than sufficient if the Sonar Thearch would help to spread some news to the various clans.

Shh-shh-shh!

The sound of feet shuffling came from inside the courtyard. The guard came back out and said in a low voice, “Sir, our Clan Head said that today is the day that the Great Young Master will get married. He will not see any guests. Please come back in three days.”

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi looked crestfallen. He had still been wondering if the weird Sonar Thearch would help him or not. He did not think that the Sonar Thearch would not even want to see him. Qi Tianchen should have sent news over a long time ago. That was probably why the Sonar Thearch did not even want to meet Yi San.

Sigh!

Jiang Yi’s expression darkened. It was obvious that the Sonar Thearch would not help him. It looked like he had to find a way to resolve Tang Yan and Tang Xue’s problem on his own.
