Chapter 816 Destined Nemesis
Reverse psychology?
Anger flashed in Wu Ni’s eyes. He had been stung by Ji Tingyu’s words and the deep despise within her eyes. He swung his hand angrily as Ji Tingyu’s petite body rammed onto the wall severely. On the contrary, Ji Tingyu didn’t move or circulated her essence force. Her body rammed onto the wall before rebounding. She opened her mouth to vomit a mouthful of blood. After which, she shut her eyes with an undisturbed expression as if she was prepared for her death.
“Since you wish to die, I shall help you fulfill it!”
Essence force sparkled on Wu Ni’s leg. His body flashed as he lifted up his leg and was about to stomp down from Ji Tingyu’s head heavily. His gaze locked onto Ji Tingyu tenaciously; however, the latter didn’t move. There was not a trace of shuddering on her body.
Boom!
At the last moment, Wu Ni slid his leg to the side and stomped into a limestone slab heavily. His eyes were filled with astonishment because Ji Tingyu didn’t move at all. She was truly prepared for her death, and there were no signs of it being faked.
“Hmph!”
He looked towards Ji Tingyu coldly and spoke, “Ji Tingyu, I am giving you 15 minutes. If you are unable to convince me, I have a bottle of chastity sweeper. After drinking it, even a female virgin would be turned into a slut. I will then throw you to the North Thearch’s barracks. There are millions of troops there...”
“Hahaha!”
Ji Tingyu laughed and stood up. She wiped off the bloodstain on the corner of her mouth gently while looking at Wu Ni nonchalantly, “Are you moved? Seems like you still have a little ambition. Do you wish to become the second Mystic Thearch? Young Master Wu Ni, if you wish to become the North Thearch before becoming the second Mystic Thearch, you will need to change this temper of yours. If it was the Mystic Thearch or your grandfather, would they use such a dirty method that would be despised by everyone? Temper represented a person’s ability to see the big picture. A person without both would never be able to become the new North Thearch.”
Wu Ni’s complexion changed. The anger within his eyes was ignited again. However, he didn’t make a move this time. Rather, he replied coldly, “Continue speaking!”
“Very good. Although you are in a rage, you didn’t make a move this time. This shows that you are able to control your own mood!”
Ji Tingyu teased while she cast her gaze outside the window. “If you wish to become the North Thearch, not only do you have to obtain your grandfather and father’s approval, you will also have to pass through the test given by that group of old fellows from the elder hall! What happened in the Devil’s Island was one of the considerations. Your performance after the failure was also another consideration.
“The Nine Thearchs Clans’ descendants are able to accept failures but must never lose their tenacious temperament. Young Master Wu Ni, after your failure, you beat your subordinates up. At this moment, you intend to kill me sadistically. If the elder hall was to know of this, what would they think? A person who couldn’t face his failure and would only find others to vent his anger on. Is it really worth it to entrust something to him? If your grandfather had failed, would he slaughter a group of Wu Clan’s people? Would he kill his subordinates? If so, your Wu Clan members wouldn’t be fully convinced, and the clan would have collapsed long ago. You can take a look at the information and see how the other Nine Thearchs Clans’ Patriarch and Clan Heads conduct themselves and handle such situations.”
This time, Ji Tingyu words were filled with sincerity and had also caused Wu Ni to be somewhat emotionally affected. He paused for a moment before nodding his head. “Alright. I shall take back what I said previously. If you cannot convince me, I will give you an honorable death.”
“Very well!”
Ji Tingyu smiled faintly. Her smile was like hundreds of flowers blooming as it caused Wu Ni’s eyes to brighten up. She smiled gently. “The greatest virtue of a child is when it could still be taught! Nobody is perfect. So long as one could amend their shortcoming head-on, they could use it as a lesson to improve themselves. That group of old fellows, including your father and grandfather, which of them didn’t make a mistake when they were young? Failure couldn’t represent anything. To be able to climb back up after the failure is what’s even more important! The battle plan in the Devil’s Island was proposed by me. However, those two blockheads did not act accordingly to my plans. If I had been the one leading, Jiang Yi would undoubtedly be dead!”
“Hmph!”
Wu Ni laughed coldly. “Everyone knows how to boast. The Situ Clan had sent out their troops. Would four bandit legions be able to eliminate them? Even if we had mobilized ten of the bandit legions from Gods Bestow Sea, they would still be utterly defeated in the face of Situ Clan’s Void Transference!”
“Wrong!”
Ji Tingyu shook her head with a smile. “Young Master Wu Ni, if I was the one directing, Situ Clan would never have the opportunity to send out their troops, and they would never dare to do so! If we had gotten people to spread a rumor, saying the Lei and Lu Clans had joined hands and was about to deal with the Situ Clan by driving them out of the Gods Bestow Island, do you think the Situ Clan would dare to send their troops out? Even if Situ Ao still had the courage to send their troops out, would the Situ Clan’s elder hall agree to it?
“The 13 Clans are on the same side, but why were the four major clans the only ones who could have a share in the Gods Bestow Island? And the remaining nine clans could only station in the nine archipelagos? Jiang Yi killed Lu Lin, giving the Lu Clan a slap in their face. Yet, the Situ Clan chose to protect Jiang Yi. Do you dare to say the Lu Clan doesn’t have any thoughts about it? Would it have been possible for Lei Qiyan to obstruct Jiang Yi in the Gods Bestow Plaza, without Lei Tingwei’s approval?
“For recent years, the Situ Clan’s influence had been amplifying constantly; and they are about to have the power to suppress Lei Clan. Do you dare to say that Lei Tingwei did not have the thoughts of suppressing the Situ Clan? Once the rumor spreads, regardless of whether the Lei or Lu Clans have the notions to do so, even if Situ Ao dares to move, the elder hall would never dare to act without authorizations. Jiang Yi could only head towards the Devil’s Island alone. How could four legions be unable to eliminate one Jiang Yi?”
Every phrase and words of Ji Tingyu was like a gem, which caused Wu Ni to be speechless. When she spoke, her pair of pearl-like eyes was filled with planned strategies. That intellectual radiance would cause a person to believe her without any doubts. He listened and felt like it was a headache to him as Wu Ni was not an expert in devising strategies. However, he felt that this matter would have been successful if it was this woman who was leading it.
Ji Tingyu glanced at Wu Ni profoundly and continued. “Worse comes to worst. Even if the Situ Clan sent their troops out and the Lei and Lu Clan did not make a move, we still stand a chance of eliminating Jiang Yi. The objective this time was not to eliminate the Green Bird Merchant Association and Situ Clan. Rather, it was to kill a person. As long as we killed Jiang Yi, we would have accomplished our objective even if the four legions had been fully annihilated. Young Master would still have succeeded.
“If so, why didn’t you gather all the four legions to the Devil’s Island and wait for Jiang Yi to appear so that they could kill him together? There were more than 50,000 Heaven Monarchs with several hundreds of them at the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. So what if there were a lot of experts protecting Jiang Yi? Young Master Ni should have a clearer understanding than me. If a battle is to happen among the extensive legions, even the peak-stage Heaven Monarch could die easily—let alone a Jiang Yi?”
Wu Ni was completely astonished. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and inquired. “You... why do you have such a clear understanding of this? What’s your post in Sin Hall?”
“Ke-Ke!”
Ji Tingyu shook her head and smiled faintly, “I’m just an insignificant nobody in the Sin Hall. The reason why I have some understanding of what’s happening in Sin Island was that Jiang Yi is my archenemy as well. I firmly believe that if I’m not going to kill him, there would be a day he would slaughter his way back to the East Imperial Continent just to kill me.”
“You have a grudge with Jiang Yi?”
Wu Ni was slightly startled. Subsequently, he realized. “Oh, right. You came from the Stellarsky Continent as well. It seems like the branch hall in Stellarsky Continent had been destroyed by Jiang Yi?”
“Yes, it is!”
Ji Tingyu nodded her head, “Jiang Yi is my destined nemesis. My greatest desire right now is to eliminate Jiang Yi. Young Master Ni, if you believe me, Tingyu can help you devise a strategy that could kill Jiang Yi within 3 years. In 10 years, I can help you become the Wu Clan Head. And in 50 years, I can help your Wu Clan unify the whole Stellarsky Domain.”
“Ke-Ke!”
Wu Ni smiled bitterly, “Let’s not talk about those unrealistic things and focus on Jiang Yi. How are you going to kill him? We had revealed more than half of our Martial Arts Hall hidden pieces. We would certainly be suppressed by the Situ Clan. Furthermore... it would be hard for me to mobilize the clan’s forces again because of this failure.”
“There is no need to mobilize!”
Ji Tingyu’s eyes sparkled profoundly. It caused one not to dare look straight at her as she spoke frankly with assurance, “If Young Master Wu Ni is willing to delegate power to me, I will not need to mobilize any of the clan’s forces and would still be able to eliminate Jiang Yi easily.”
“Alright!”
Wu Ni seemed to have been convinced by Ji Tingyu. He beckoned his hand. “I shall take the risk. Ji Tingyu, I hope you don’t let me down. Otherwise, both of us would be consigned to eternal damnation together.”
“I won’t!”
Ji Tingyu smiled lightly. Her gaze penetrated the window and cast it towards a distant location. She used a voice that could only be heard by herself and murmured, “I, Ji Tingyu, am a woman that is going to become the Empress. How can I possibly be consigned to eternal damnation...?”
