Chapter 1421: Useless
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Yuewen did not, in fact, have any proof at hand to show that the Poison Spirit was inside Jiang Yi’s interspatial ring.
She was just hopping mad. After being taken hostage like that, how was she going to keep her chin up in front of the other young masters and young mistresses in Earth Emanations Domain? She was basing her accusations on her feelings alone, that Jiang Yi was the one who rescued the Poison Spirit. Otherwise... why would Jiang Yi fight it out with the Qin Clan over such a small matter?
However, the Fifth Elder thought that Qin Yuewen had enough evidence on her hands. As long as they took Jiang Yi down and found the Poison Spirit inside his spatial divine item, everything would be fine. Fifth Elder would not be afraid even if Mo Lingqiu turned up.
Swish! Swish!
The two elders of the Qin Clan moved at the same time. A formless blade shot out from between Seventh Elder’s brows and entered Jiang Yi’s mind at once. Black gloves appeared around one of his hands. The black gloves flashed, turning into sharp claws. Seventh Elder’s body transformed into a beam of colorful light as he charged towards Jiang Yi’s neck.
Thirteenth Elder held up both of his hands, using his powers to cause disturbances in the void. A huge, golden mountainous region formed, covering the entire city plaza. Everything around them became overshadowed. Once the Thirteenth Elder released the mountains, many God Kings below would be crushed to death.
The two elders of the Qin Clan were very well-coordinated. One of them was responsible for taking Jiang Yi down with his spiritual attack while the other was in charge of employing his powerful, earth-elemental, nomological mystical ability to keep the crowd subdued. For this reason, Xiao Hong did not dare to do anything rash. Both of these elders were Titled Heaven Emanations. Their skills were very frightening. Whereas in the city, the only person who was of that rank was... Xiao Hong!
“Stop!”
Xiao Hong’s gaze hardened as he shouted in a low voice. A metal rod appeared in his hand as his aura surged limitlessly.
He could not afford to offend the Ink Feather Race nor the Qin Clan. However, this was Blue Eagle City. The Qin Clan’s people were making such moves on his territory. If he did not do anything to stop them, his reputation would be dragged through the dirt.
“Brother Xiao Hong, the Poison Spirit is in Jiang Yi’s spatial divine item. You’d better not do anything rash. I will bear the consequences for whatever happens after this!”
The Fifth Elder’s voice sounded in Xiao Hong’s mind. The latter stopped himself mid-way. The Poison Spirit was a fugitive of the Earth Emanations Pavilion and Demon-Killing Pavilion. If Jiang Yi was really colluding with the Poison Spirit and he interfered in this, the consequences would be dire.
Xiao Hong did not dare to move anymore. He could only watch as Seventh Elder charged towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi remained where he was, not making any moves. His eyes began to cloud over as if he was being taken over by the Seventh Elder’s spiritual attack.
The rest of the audience was not surprised in the least. Jiang Yi’s lack of skills was the reason why so many people despised him. They guessed that Jiang Yi would not even be able to fend himself against ordinary Heaven Emanations’ spiritual attacks, much less Titled Heaven Emanations’ spiritual attacks.
Swish!
However—
What happened next shocked them all. Just before Seventh Elder’s claws touched Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi’s eyes cleared up. He immediately flew backward. A pearl in his hand glowed, and yellow sand worms swam into the air at once, covering Seventh Elder completely.
“This...”
Xiao Hong and the others were all stunned. Many people knew what Jiang Yi was made of. He had only ascended a few days ago, and his skills were almost pitiful. In fact, he was almost killed by Luo Fu and Luo Xiang at the start. Now, he was able to fend off even a Titled Heaven Emanations’ spiritual attack? How was this brat improving so quickly? He could even control yellow sand worms now?
However, all of these seemed to be useless!
Seventh Elder’s body burst out from among the yellow sand worms, and he charged for Jiang Yi’s neck one again at top speed. A strange force emanated from him into Jiang Yi’s body, sealing up the latter’s divine core. Seventh Elder’s icy gaze fell on Jiang Yi as he said, “Brat, stay still; don’t move. Otherwise, I cannot promise that I will not kill you!”
Jiang Yi did not move. Instead, he silently summoned the yellow sand worms back before putting both them and the little beast back in his Fire Spirit Pearl. His own gaze became cold as the corners of his mouth twitched. In a cool tone, he said, “Very good. You people from the Qin Clan are really taking matters into your own hands now. You don’t even hold any respect for the Sovereign’s iron rule. You’re taking action against me in broad daylight in the city? Is this a revolution?”
“Keke!”
Fifth Elder laughed mirthlessly and said nonchalantly, “Jiang Yi, don’t talk our clan up. The Qin Clan has remained loyal to the Sovereign all these years. You will not be able to sow discord just by uttering one or two sentences. What’s more... we did not do anything to you. We’re only capturing a fugitive’s conspirator. Jiang Yi, why are you hiding the Poison Spirit? What is your motive?”
“Wow!”
Everyone in the city plaza bustled and shifted. The Poison Spirit was too infamous among them. If Jiang Yi had really been hiding the Poison Spirit, he would die for sure.
“Hahaha...”
Jiang Yi burst into laughter, but Seventh Elder tightened his grip against his neck, stopping him immediately.
There was no hint of pain in his expression. Instead, he looked at Seventh Elder mockingly. “What? Am I not even allowed to talk now? If you want to make a move, then kill me now! With a single frown, I—Jiang Yi—can be your grandfather1!”
“Pfft!”
Many people cheered Jiang Yi on secretly in their hearts when they heard his first sentence. However, they found something amiss with his second sentence. In the heat of the moment, many of them choked on their saliva. This brat was seeking to gain an advantage even on his deathbed.
Seventh Elder’s expression hardened as his body emanated killing intent. However, Xiao Hong did not dare to allow Jiang Yi to die here. Mo Lingqiu and company might not be afraid if Jiang Xiaonu came to cause trouble later, but he was a mere Prefecture Lord. He could not afford for that to happen. Immediately, he stepped in. “Seventh Elder, according to the Earth Emanations Laws—even if Jiang Yi did something wrong, you cannot take justice in your own hands. Why don’t we send him to Earth Emanations City so that he can be judged by the Earth Emanations Hall?”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi mocked, “Why should I go to the Earth Emanations Hall? Isn’t the Qin Clan the court itself? They kill whoever they want now. What do I, a mere City Lord of Divine Eagle City, count for? Even if I am the Hunting Envoy, I don’t matter. Even the Prefecture Lord or the Pavilions Lord of Battle God Pavilion and Demon-Killing Pavilion would die if the Qin Clan wanted them dead!”
Jiang Yi was talking the Qin Clan up too much this time. Seventh Elder’s killing intent dissipated almost immediately. Xiao Hong subtly shot one of the elders of the Xiao Clan a look, gesturing for him to send a voice transmission to Mo Lingqiu. Fifth Elder hesitated for a while and then shouted in a low voice, “For the sole reason that you are hiding the Poison Spirit, killed a Heaven Emanations from my clan, and took my young mistress hostage; your wrongdoing is unpardonable. Even if you go to the Earth Emanations Hall, you will die.”
Buzz!
Xiao Hong’s jade token for communications lit up. He glanced down at it, and his entire body relaxed. He cupped his hands and said, “Then, let’s go to Earth Emanations Hall. The Assistant Pavilion Lord instructed me to bring Jiang Yi there and lead the group of you there as well. We will discuss everything else at the court.”
“Mo Lingqiu?”
Fifth Elder’s eyebrows twitched as he glanced at Xiao Hong nonchalantly. Since he had already informed Mo Lingqiu, they would not be able to do anything rash at this point in time. All they could do was go to the Earth Emanations Hall and await judgment.
Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, and Thirteenth Elder all exchanged a meaningful look. Then, they said, “Let’s go. We’ll teleport to Earth Emanations City. We’ll discuss this again in Earth Emanations Hall.”
“Please!”
Xiao Hong gestured for them to lead the way. Seventh Elder grabbed Jiang Yi and flew up into the air towards Blue Eagle Mountain. The supreme Teleportation Formation there would allow them to teleport to Earth Emanations City immediately. Fifth Elder led Qin Yuewen towards the mountain as well. Thirteenth Elder quickly sent several voice transmissions before following closely behind the group. It was obvious that he was reporting back to the Qin Clan. He wanted them to be on standby.
“Sigh!”
Xiao Hong sighed when he saw Thirteenth Elder sending the voice transmissions. The Qin Clan was way too powerful. Although Mo Lingqiu knew about what was happening, nobody could guarantee that Jiang Yi would be able to walk out alive this time.
There were thirteen Hall Lords in Earth Emanations Hall. If more than half of them thought that Jiang Yi was guilty, he would be executed. Among those thirteen Hall Lords, more than half of them were related to the Qin Clan.
