Chapter 1311: Clever Tongue

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Swish! Swish!

Two God Generals flew over to Jiang Yi. One of them punched Jiang Yi’s underbelly with all his might. Although the Mystic Divine Armor automatically appeared to protect its master, the punch was quite miraculous. A huge force shot through the layers of the Mystic Divine Armor. Jiang Yi was in so much pain that he bent over like a cooked shrimp. What’s more, a strange force seemed to enter his body, surrounding his dantian and sealing it.

Now that his dantian was sealed, Jiang Yi could no longer activate his heavenly powers. Unless he engaged his spiritual attacks, his hands were practically tied. However, since there were so many God Generals around him, he dared not mess around. One mistake could cost him his life.

Without his heavenly powers’ support him, his Mirage Divine Ability gave way automatically, revealing his true looks. One of the guards scanned him from-head-to-toe again and said in a cool voice, “Take him back. Send someone to inform the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan about what happened, and then hand this brat over to them.”

Trouble!

Jiang Yi’s eyes widened. It looked like the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan was very powerful. Even the Crazed God Castle could not act against their orders so the guards had no choice but to hand Jiang Yi over and allow the Luo Clan to settle things on their own. At that moment, Jiang Yi believed that he would be killed in a heartbeat.

“Wait!”

His expression turned solemn and angry. In an enraged tone, he shouted, “What right do you have to take me away? Did I take action within Crazed God Castle? Did I break any of your rules? I am from Demon-Killing Pavilion, and I was on a mission. That man was a spy of the Netherworld Realm. From the way you were protecting him, are you trying to show that you are on the Netherworld Realm’s side as well?”

Jiang Yi spoke in a proud manner. Every sentence was coated with righteousness, and his voice echoed throughout the area. The flickering of the Crazed God Castle’s restrictions had caught the attention of several people already. At that moment, people were running outside the castle to see what had happened. Not only were there Crazed God Castle guards, but many guests were also there, watching the commotion.

“Uh—”

The ten or so God Generals hesitated. It seemed like what Jiang Yi was saying made sense. There were rules in Crazed God Castle: people were not to cause trouble inside the castle. However, the rules did not state that they were not allowed to fight outside. They had never met a scenario like this. What’s more, Jiang Yi was from the Demon-Killing Pavilion? He was not in the wrong if he was on a mission. He also used a very sensitive phrase in his explanation: the Netherworld Realm!

To the entire human race, the Netherworld Realm was a threatening existence. Anything that involved them would end in destruction. Even if the Crazed God Castle did not have anything to do with them, their reputation would suffer if people thought they were related. This would severely affect their business.

The problem was...

The Crazed God Castle could not afford to offend the family clan from which the purple-haired gentleman was. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan was considered a bully in the Blue Eagle Prefecture. The purple-haired gentleman, Luo Huan, had the Pavilion Lord of Divine Eagle City’s Battle God Pavilion as his grandfather. There was an even more important person above the Luo Clan: the Assistant Pavilion Lord of Blue Eagle Prefecture’s Battle God Pavilion. One could say that the Luo Clan was one of the top ten great family clans of the Blue Eagle Prefecture.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Jiang Yi looked at the group of hesitating God Generals, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart. Once again, he shouted in a righteous tone, “You, the guards of Crazed God Castle, were given the task of ensuring your guests’ safety. He may be your guest, but am I not? The fact that he’s a spy from the Netherworld Realm aside, I am just doing my job. Even if I was not, I did what I did outside your compounds. How can you interfere with this? Am I not allowed to use my powers around the vicinity of the castle? Is the Crazed God Castle the sovereign of Blue Eagle Prefecture? I killed this man. If his family clan wants to pursue the matter, they will come to the Demon-Killing Pavilion. How does this concern you?”

Jiang Yi’s words caused the guards to be at a complete loss as to what to do. This matter concerned the Demon-Killing Pavilion and the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. They could not afford to offend either side, or the consequences would be dire for their business. After all, many people from the Demon-Killing Pavilion came to Crazed God Castle to do business as well.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Outside the gates of the city, there were at least a hundred people whose attention had been captured by the commotion. Most of them were guests as well. They were standing outside, watching the show. Yet, none of them spoke up. They were just there to join the party.

“What happened?”

At that moment, a white-haired elderly man walked out of the castle. His complexion was fair, and both of his white eyebrows resembled sharp blades on his forehead. One look, and Jiang Yi could tell that this was a powerful man. The God Generals glanced at this man and immediately looked as if they found their mainstay. One of the God Generals flew toward him and got down on one knee, shouting, “Reporting to Commander He: this man is from Demon-Killing Pavilion. We saw him assassinate and kill Young Master Luo Huan outside the castle earlier. He said he was on a mission, and that Luo Huan was a spy from Netherworld Realm...”

Smash!

Commander He slapped the God General across the face and turned to glare at Jiang Yi coolly. “The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan is very reputable. How can Luo Huan be a spy of the Netherworld Realm? This is so clear; how can there be any doubt about it? Take this man to the Luo Clan immediately and tell the Family Head of the Luo Clan about what happened. Luo Huan died in our territory. We must give the Luo Clan an explanation.”

“Sh*t...”

Jiang Yi began to panic. He had spent all that effort turning the tables around, and yet now, he was back to square one. His gaze hardened, and he laughed aloud all of a sudden. “Hahahaha...”

Commander He wanted to turn back to walk back into the castle, but he stopped when he heard Jiang Yi laugh. The onlookers were astonished as well. Was this brat out of his mind? He was facing death, and yet he could still laugh so loudly?

Jiang Yi laughed for some time and finally looked at the commander mockingly. “Commander He, right? How can you be so stupid? A person like you is managing the affairs of Crazed God Castle, and yet the castle remains standing. Jiang Yi is really amazed! So many people are still visiting your establishment. This really is the biggest joke in the world!”

Commander He’s eyes filled with killing intent. In a cool tone, he said, “Brat, your clever tongue will not save your life this time. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan is not to be trifled with.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed maniacally and arrogantly once more. He looked at Commander He contemptuously and said, “You might not dare to offend the Luo Clan, but I am warning you that I am not to be trifled with either! Use your pig brain to think about it: if Luo Huan was just a young master of the Luo Clan, why would the Demon-Killing Pavilion send me on a mission like that? Who would have come up with such a mission? And why would I still have dared to kill Luo Huan despite knowing his identity? Can you explain all the mysterious mechanisms and interests involved in this issue?

“You cannot afford to offend the Luo Clan, but... you similarly cannot afford to offend the person giving me orders! If you don’t want Crazed God Castle to get into trouble, you’d better let me go. I killed Young Master Luo. The Luo Clan will come after me for sure. Crazed God Castle does not need to step in unnecessarily.”

“Uh...”

Jiang Yi’s words caused Commander He’s expression to change. The God Generals were thoroughly confused as well. Their gaze became evasive.

They were almost bought over by Jiang Yi’s words. Jiang Yi knew Luo Huan’s identity and still dared to assassinate him? If he was not courting death, then he must have been crazy for sure. The person who gave him this task knew of Luo Huan’s identity, too, and still dared to set such a mission for the young master of the Luo Clan to be killed. This man must be unafraid of the Luo Clan. Could it be that there are more complicated issues behind this that they could not understand? Was there a hidden battle between two major powers? If this was the case, it would indeed not be wise for Crazed God Castle to get involved in the matter.

In reality, Jiang Yi had no idea of Luo Huan’s identity before. He was purely negligent. However, he wanted to cross the bridge when he came to it. At least if the Luo Clan really came after him for revenge, he would have time to think of an escape route. Otherwise, he would surely die if he was sent to the Luo Clan immediately.

All the God Generals turned to look at Commander He as if they were watching an exciting show. They waited for him to make a decision. Commander He mumbled to himself for a long time, calculating the pros and cons of each decision. After a full minute or two, his gaze hardened. He had made up his mind. He waved his hand and said, “Lock this man up for now. Tell the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan and the Demon-Killing Pavilion about what happened. The Crazed God Castle cannot afford to offend anyone. They will settle the problem themselves!”

“Damn...”

Jiang Yi spent so much effort trying to talk his way out of the problem, only to end up in such a situation. His heart fell to his feet. He was only a small character in this whole plot. The Demon-Killing Pavilion would not offend the Luo Clan for his sake. Once the people from the Luo Clan arrived, he would surely die.
